Indoor 2nd Indoor Grow - plan to make some seeds this time

[saskraider12]

Keep doing you, my man. Looking fantastic.

Update: added bone meal and glacial rock dust to improve the big plants as they are showing deficiencies. Also started an epsom salt foliar spray.

gave the mephisto plants their first top dress: 1tbsp sea kelp meal, 1 tbsp bone meal,1 tbsp glacial rock dust, 2tbsp 4-4-4 and 2tbsp 2-8-4. They are starting to preflower at 21 days.

Another update. The mephisto plants are really looking good after the topdress. Fed microbial mass a few days ago and plan to hit them with molasses on the next watering.

woohwee that's quite the big bush you've got starting to grow on your lil lady. She looks like she's from the 70's !. That must be the SN cross. She'll put your training skill's to the test !

Lookin good in the tent buddy , keep it up !

good eye Mesa, that is the SN cross. I don't know what to do. Considering knocking off the fan leaves, but don't want to stress it out too much. The side branches are all tucked under those leaves, so not sure if they will shoot up on their own. The fugue state has perfect structure and I don't think I will do anything to it. The SN, from what I can tell, hasn't sexed yet, so I have a bit of time to figure out my plan. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if it was the best solution but I did a lot of leaf tucking early on. I'm not big on Defoliating before a plant starts to flower. I implemented some skewers to assist with the training and tucking. I can't remember if I topped or not (I usually do).


I did a ton of stripping during flower to try to keep her opened up but she's difficult. I know it sure doesn't look like it. You're gonna be in for some sticky sticky fingers. But you'll be rewarded in the end with some great bud.



Maybe I shoulda sent out a bush warning with this seed ! :smoking: I further crossed this one out now with some Purple Lemonade. Hopefully it'll open it up some. Just planted a couple a few days ago. I'll be sure to send some your way if you wanna test them.

Wow, great looking final plant. I am considering chopping off the fan leaves on one side and laying the plant down to the other side to see if those side branches will shoot upward. Will decide tonight when the lights come on, needed the soil to dry out before bending that plant, it is a stocky one and didn't bend easily last night.

it is a stocky one and didn't bend easily last night.

I totally forgot about that. I'm getting the flashbacks now of trying to manipulate those thick branches. It's really unlike any plant I've ever grown. This particular cross was from a friend of mine on AFN. He did a great job with the cross and of course the Mephisto genetics parents. From what I've seen so far there is very little variation between pheno's even at F1.

Here is what i did. Chopped off 3 sets of leaves to reveal the lower branches. Could barely tip it over, we will see if that was a smart move.

Update. Will move the cheese and purple kush to 48 hours of darkness tomorrow before the chop. Gave the second top dress to the fugue state and strawberry nuggets. 3 tbsp gaia green 2-8-4, 1 tbsp 4-4-4, 1 tbsp sea kelp meal, 1 tbsp glacial rock dust, 1 tbsp bone meal, 1 tbsp insect frass, 1 tbsp bat guano, 2 tbsp grokashi.

fugue state grew a foot this week and has amazing structure, gave it a bit of a lollipop, no training.

Strawberry nuggets so bushy, had to train each branch.

new recruits - orange diesel on the left, and GSC x Cherry Bomb on the right.
