better pic of one of the tops. Barely 35 days from seed, pistils coming along strong already.
I am struck about how fast the Mephistos are cookin' along. They sexed at 20 days, and growth seems to have slowed for the moment. Perhaps it's because their growth rate was so fast, maybe that's it for now, or maybe now that they have more root elbow room, the stretch or secondary maturation phase is loading and yet to come. Since I know nothing about the strains, it's all fun.
I've included a pic of 2 DP Think Big's I started about a week later for comparison. I had them left over from last grow season, and they provide a great visual distinction of ruderalis sub-varietals. The structure of the DP gear is much more uniform and predictable. Ultimately, the chem profiles and yields are what this is all about though....I am really (really) looking forward to seeing what the Mephistos bring in that regard.
Spotted some odd browning on one of the Mephisto fan leaves, not deficiency or die off - just some plant leaf dis-coloration. Will keep an eye on it, but probably just some random anthocyanin reaction.
The Dutch Passion Think Big's have a regular structure. The difference in height between them is due to a) soil height, and b) during transplant, lost a bit of root mass on the one on the right. the solo cup soil cleaved into 2 parts, so, I essentially broke the roots
Seems to be on track though, despite me pulling a boner....
Tromping around on trout opening day of the season in the snow...LOL
