Mephisto Genetics 1Sky Trys Mephisto with Amare SE450 & A-Train's Nute Schedule

[Only1Sky]

Besides the Ripley's OG, Stilton Special & Sour Livers, this grow also included two Northern Cheese Hazes (NCH). I didn't plan on two, but the first seed didn't germinate along with the other 3 plants, so I dropped a 2nd NCH seed. Of course, wouldn't you know, both NCHs then popped up. The original NCH was a total mutant, and remained stunted and rather comatose for a couple of weeks. She's now doing well, and I'll show some pictures of her in a few days. But the 2nd NCH has really taken off and is now, despite lots of LST and a bit of super-cropping, the tallest and widest of the entire group. Here she is in a 3 gallon fiber pot at 46 days old, 35" tall and 32" wide. Yipes.

Day 59 photo updates. Situation is starting to get pretty sticky and very crowded in the tent. Here the biggest, Ripley's OG at 34.5 inches, and the only one in a 5 gallon pot:

But by far the tallest is Northern Cheese Haze, standing at 36". Her branches are long & thin, and the weight of the buds -- combined with LST done early -- is causing many to have breaks as I move the plants around on their rolling dollies. So now I'm reversing the LST and actually pulling her branches back up into the center to try to "heal" the breaks and not totally lose the branch. Here she is:

Stilton Special, at 27", is shaping up very nicely. Have a look:

Lastly we have Sour Livers, the short one of the group at 26":

That's it for now. Happy growing everyone.

@A-Train. Hi Doc. When you have a moment, I've got a couple of question on the nute program, please. Tomorrow I'm "scheduled" to begin the 55-to-Chop phase of the program. Based on the photos in the previous post, do you think I'm ready for this phase? And, when I do start the final phase, 55-to-Chop, do you continue the Recharge/SLF once a week? I would assume that you stop the Recharge/SLF, since the program now calls for alternating Herculean Harvest with Dense once every 3-5 days. Thanks for your input. This program has been fantastic.

From the pics i see your girls can run a bit linger on the schedule. But remeber i cute nutes early.... but i KEEP giving hercukean harvest at a high rate.. its 0 -6-0 and the alternating dense at 0-0-64 these gals will still get the P and K for making more flowers. That aling with the microbes breaking down what has buikt up in the medium they are eating and making buts but they are fading slowly .... dont worry about taste with the herculean harvest theres no adverse taste

@A-Train - Thanks for the quick response. So just to be sure that I understand your answer to my questions.
1) You didn't confirm, but I assume that the Recharge & SLF weekly feeding is stopped once the 55-to-Chop phase starts.
2) You think I could stay on the current 45-55 day phase for a bit longer. That is my feeling, maybe another week to 10 days before switching over to the 55-to-Chop phase. ??

You say you KEEP giving Herkulean Harvest at a high rate. But, just to be sure, a few weeks ago you recommended that I adjust it down from 3 ml/L to 2 ml/L. So I'm going to go with it at a 2 ml/L rate. Right ??

Thanks,man.

Time for some updates. The monster of this grow has been the Ripley's OG. I don't know if that's because of her genetics, or because she's the only one in a 5-gallon pot -- the others are all in 3 gallons. She has a ton of small, dense leaves, and the frost everywhere is awesome. I took these shots 4 days ago when she was 69 days old.

Two days ago I noticed that her top bud in the very center of the plant was not looking healthy -- leaves dying off. Closer inspection revealed the dreaded mold. A first for this noob, but probably not my last. I sniped it, did some quick interior defol and installed a small fan above her and pointing right down into her center. There has always been plenty of air circulation in the tent --- there is fresh air being blown in at the floor, there's a small 12" circulating mini-tower fan on the floor in one corner, and a large 30" circulating tower fan in another corner. But we've had some humidity spikes the past few weeks, and I guess the Ripley's OG is just too dense to handle it on top.

Yesterday I took her out of the tent for some more major interior defoliation, and tried to pry open and separate some of the buds that are growing close together along the branches. Well see what happens. I must confess, I'm scared of loosing more. Here's photos while she was out of the tent, at day 72. First, the full plant at 36" high:

Then a look at some of the bud formations:

This is one beautiful plant. Could this be my 1-pounder?

Besides the Ripley's, this grow also has a Stilton Special, a Sour Livers, and two N.Cheese Hazes. All are doing fantastic. Today I'll show off the Sour Livers. She's a mid-sized babe, standing at 26" and has nice shape and bud development.

They are looking great man... are any of them on the final phase yet?
