I am using only the MC2. I want to see how much crystal I will get with it. Right now as you can see from these pics the trichome crystals are really showing up on 5 of the ladies (1-5) [HASHTAG]#6[/HASHTAG] is a few weeks behind the others. My rez is filled with 12 liters and they are going through this in 3 days.

The light has been maintained at 18-20 inches. Three ladies have been placed on unused AutoPots to have them closer to the light. They are on 20/4 schedule. I am using the ChilLED controller this time. I have it set for a sunrise and sunset. At "sunrise" all diodes will take 30 minutes before they are all on 100% power. For "sunset" only the deep red diodes are on for 20 minutes. I have the white diodes at 70% of max, the blues at 75% and the reds at 100%. I am trying to get the buds to get fatter by using less whites. So yes, I am trying for a bit more burple tones.

As I am running 6 different strains from 3 breeders I have encountered 6 ladies with 6 different nutrient needs. This has caused me to under feed two of the ladies from day one. But we are here to grow and learn and that is the reality of this grow. I should have another 5 - 7 weeks to harvest.

The tops I went with MC@ was 620 PPM. On the next rez fill I dropped it to 600 PPM and on the last fill up it was 590 PPM. Overall I am saying the MC2 is a keeper. I am very pleased.

1 - DINAFEM: DINAMED CBD AUTO
She has been very easy to grow. She has always been a dark green and she remains so. She is now 14" tall and is shaped like an evergreen tree with snow weighing down her leaves. She is thick, thick and thick. Some branches are now poking out of the mass of green leaves. You can see her crystals but as this strain can have 10-14% of CBD and 1% of THC there are not that many round THC tops on the stalks. I have removed perhaps a dozen fan leaves from her. She is a winner for sure.

2 - MEPHISTO: CHEMDOGGING AUTO
She has turned into a real beauty. She was very much a low rider in the pot. Once she started to grow she did not stop until she got to 22" tall. I have spread her branches out away from the main cola. I gently tie then to the curved top of the pot. I am able to open the ladies up and let the sunshine hit her where it could not on it's own. I also defoliated her but not too much. I tried to let this grow go more natural then my other grows.

3 - DUTCH PASSION: COLORADO COOKIES AUTO
This is the baby of the tent. She was started 5 days later than her sisters and today I believe she will be the first one to be harvested. She has a great growth at also 22" tall. The crystal is strong with this one, indeed.

Time to look at my little lady in my tent. She is only 10" tall. This is due to her deciding to have two colas after about 3-4 weeks old. Yep, she grew two. What she lost in height she has gain in crystal ALL over her leaves. Yummy.

5 - DUTCH PASSION: CRITICAL ORANGE AUTO
At 25" she remains the tallest lady here. She too needed more nutes than her sisters. At some point she went "ole yeller" on me. Her fan leaves have not recovered. Her buds are green and full of
A. Shite
B. Crystals
Take a look

6 - BARNEY'S FARM: BLUE MAMMOTH AUTO
She is always hungry. Well that is what I used to see with her. Now she is well fed and is the lagger in the tent. BUT she has gotten a great spurt of growth. She is the only one with no crystals ... just wait

Thanks for dropping in.

I am still only using the MC2 and NOTHING else. I want to see how much crystal I will get with it. Right now as you can see from these pics the trichome crystals are covering all of the ladies. I have been so tempted to use some Bud Explosion. I have told my self it will be OK, just trust.

My rez is always filled with 12 liters and they are going through this in 3 days. The Highest I went with MC2 was 620 PPM and this was by using 15.3 grams. I just fill the reztoday and I used 13.3 grams for a PPM of 570. Overall I am saying the MC2 is the keeper. I am very impressed.

I am trying to get the buds to get fatter by using less whites. So yes, I am trying for a bit more burple tones. I do "believe" the more purple settings I am using are helping with the fatten up of the bud sites.

She has been very easy to grow. She has always been a dark green and she remains so. She is now 16" tall and is shaped like an evergreen tree with snow weighing down her leaves. She is thick, thick and thick. Some branches are now poking out of the mass of green leaves. You can see her crystals but as this strain can have 10-14% of CBD and 1% of THC there are not that many round THC tops on the stalks. I have removed perhaps a dozen fan leaves from her.

She has turned into a real beauty. Almost every leaf has crystal even some of her fan leaves are showing off. She was very much a low rider in the pot. Once she started to grow she did not stop. She is now 24" tall and just about as wide. I have spread her branches out away from the main cola and gently tie then to the curved top of the pot. I am able to open the ladies up and let the sunshine hit her where it could not on it's own.

She was started 5 days later than her sisters and today she is 72 days old. She has a good height at 24" tall. The crystal is strong with this one, indeed.

At 26" she remains the tallest lady here. She needed more nutes than her sisters. At some point she went "ole yeller" on me. Her fan leaves have not recovered. Her buds are green and full of crystals. Take a peek ...

6 - BARNEY'S FARM: BLUE MAMMOTH AUTO
She is always hungry. Now she is well fed and is the lagger in the tent. BUT she has gotten a great spurt of growth. Her crystals are developing brilliantly. We just had to wait for her and give her time. She is now fattening and getting sticky.

Thanks for droppin in

Today 1 - DINAFEM: DINAMED CBD AUTO was harvested.
She was mostly cloudy with some clear and a few amber. My intent is to make some concentrate from her.

Yesterday, after drying for a week, She weighed out at 30 grams. I decarbed her at 255F for 27 minutes in a turkey bag placed on a cookie sheet. As I have recently been having some issues with pain, well it's been three years and I just went to see a Dr about it, I was ready to see if this CBD plant would help. Boy oh boy did it help. It took away and I slept for 7 hours. So glad it works as advertised !!!

All I did was eat a small bud and within 45 minutes I was on my way to relief.

1 - DINAFEM: DINAMED CBD AUTO ---- Harvested and dry weight was 30 grams.
2 - MEPHISTO: CHEMDOGGING AUTO ---- Harvested May 28.
3 - DUTCH PASSION: COLORADO COOKIES AUTO ---- Harvested May 28.
4 - MEPHISTO: 4 ASSED MONKEYS AUTO ---- Harvested May 28.
5 - DUTCH PASSION: CRITICAL ORANGE AUTO ---- Harvested May 28.
6 - BARNEY'S FARM: BLUE MAMMOTH AUTO

Yesterday four of the ladies were harvested and only BLUE MAMMOTH is still growing. Also some of the lower buds on CHEMDOGGING were left on the stalk so they can fatten more. I am very happy with the results of this grow. I only used Mega Crop V2 through this entire grow. The highest PPM I used was 600 PPM.
As we all know a great harvest is a combination of many things. Mega Crop is a real winner and will be in my tent for a long time.

Here are some pics of the 4 ladies who were harvested.

4 - MEPHISTO: 4 ASSED MONKEYS
As she "topped" herself very early on she seemed to have an issue with growing up. So instead she just grew very wide and had trichomes all over every non-fan leaf. She smells so good.
