Mephisto Genetics Blessed doing Double Grape, Grapey White, Tyrone Manage, Skywalker

All right, time for a new grow journal.

Seeds just put into grow medium today. All seeds were put into water cups yesterday and 24 hours later all 6 seeds had broken open and were showing a bit of flesh. Amazing.

I have 2 Double Grape, 2 Starwalker, I Grapey White and one Tyrone Menage a Trois.

I am reusing the DNA/Mills Coco/Cork grow medium. I am really happy with how everything went in the last grow using this medium. I flushed all the pots well with cold clear water. I DID NOT remove the root ball, but am trying the no till in these. The idea is that there will be beneficial bacterial still in there holding onto the old roots. As the new plants grow, the old roots turn into compost. I have no idea if it will make a difference but what the heck. Why not try it, right?

So details are:

4 - 3 gallon RootTrappers
2 - 3 gallon airpots (black fabric)
Nutes: Mills Full Menu at full strenth
Medium: DNA/Mills coco/cork
Lights: 400 W Induction, 600 W LED (Actual 380 I think).

Everything is in the pot today with a plastic water cup over them to hold in the moisture. I will be gone for 8 days starting Thursday. I expect them to break ground after I leave on Thursday and then they will have a nice week to get started before I get back. The pots are soaked well from the flush, so there shouldn't be any problems at all. (Keeping my fingers crossed). I will only run the induction light until I get back.

Subbed, this should be good. I recommend some enzyme to help break down the old roots, but then it'd be cool to see how it does without.

Here we are.. just a few days and my lookout tells me 5 of 6 are germinated and looking good. I am on the road so have to rely on my sweet neighbor to let me know.

I'm home and I have 5 out of 6 up and about 4" high. They have their first set of true leaves. For some reason one of the Skywalker didn't come up. I will have to germinate another seed of it. Anyway, the hard part of waiting for those babies to get up and moving is over. Here we go!

I must have been pretty high when i started this thread, I see some mistakes. I have a Grapey Walter growing, not a Grapey White. The 6th seed never came up so after a week I stared a Hubba Bubba in it's place since I hadn't grown out of those out yet. Today I see that the darn 6th seed (Starwalker) WAS up and about 3-4 inches long. Now I have to decide whether to leave it in the pot (too crowded) or transplant it out. I think I am going to have to transplant it.

So where we are at day 34 for the first 5 and 22 for the hubba bubba. She (HB) is doing really great. One of the Double Grape is at 21" and one at 18". All others are about 16" and the HB maybe 10".

Here are the two Double Grape

Grapey Walter

SkyWalker

Any comments are welcome. The pictures were taken right after the lights went off (but taken with induction light only). I am thinking that perhaps the Inda Gro Induction light may be producing better results than the LED. Why? Last run the plants along the back had better trichomes and finished quicker. In the middle of these plants is sitting a photoperiod that I brought in from outside as it still needed a few more weeks to finish and the rains and cold weather are here. Yesterday I gave it a 180 degree turn and again the branches on the back side were sticker and heavier than the branches on the front. (The Indagro is against the back the led in front). I am going to try to keep these guys rotating to see what happens.

Day 40! Time is flying by! Over half way done.

Am I the only one with the Double Grape Sativa Pheno? I will ask on the DG thread too. I took pics of the two DG and their leaves as I have two different phenos - one is very Sativa and the other more Hybrid looking. Interesting.

Double Grape Pheno 1 Sativa 30"

Double Grape Pheno 2 - hybrid looking 25"

Grapey Walter - 19"

Manage A Tyrone 26"

Skywalker 19"

Hubbabubba going strong at 26 Days 15"

Heya blessed! All your ladies are looking real good! Gotta love the pheno chasing! That 2nd double grape does have some fat indica leaves for sure, but I think the 1st pheno will be a pleasant surprise when finished! Nothing wrong with a little head racin after a few tokes! keep rockin the grow room brother!
