Mephisto Genetics Deep Blue C....let's do this!

[HotBunz]

Here is a long overdue update. Sassy Girl is on Day 50. She has been fighting me a little but I believe it is due to me getting a handle of this different growing media. I have lost a fair amount of bottom leaves and she has been rather pale as a whole plant for the last 3 weeks or so. I have been a little light on the feedings I believe as I was accustom to the hotter Happy Frog soil. But anyhow she is right a 10" tall in the little 1gallon pot.

I have posted a picture of her baby sister as well. DeepBlue C #2 is on Day 20 and is already as large as SassyGril!

Just another picture from today.

Here is a shot of both SassyGirl and her "little" sister together. This would put SassyGirl on day 53 and little sister on day 23 I believe. Looking at the trichromes on SassyGirl this morning I believe I will give her 1 more feeding and then start the flush. She is pretty small(10" tall)

but I believe this is due to 2 reasons. The first is I waited to long to start her on nutes'. She received her first feeding on day 14 or so. I was afraid of giving it to early and burning her. This is my first grow with the BioBizz Light Mix and I think I stunted her a fair amount by waiting. I feel also that I have been behind the 8 ball with her ever since. Her leaves had always been paler than I would like and she lost a number of lower leaves early on in the grow. Also I am starting to think the MarsHydro 300 LED is just to much red in it's spectrum and not enough blue for the early stages of growth.
I started giving little sister(she is in a 3gallon pot) nutes at 1 week old. I also have placed 3 13w 6500K CLF's between her top and the Mars fixture to give her more blue during her vegetative stage. Both of these seem to be making a difference for the better.

When I was in The UK , I started all autos in lightmix, and would give a light feed 0.5ml bio grow for example, at day 14-15 with sexing/transplant. Could be partially pot size related, on the smaller strains it can make a big difference.
I like both though.
We have 2 lights of deep blue c in 11 liter square pots, dates I'll have to check, but a couple of days behind your youngest.
Cheers!

I think SassyGirl is on day 60 or 61 now. She got a flush yesterday and will be getting only water and molasses till she gets chopped which will be in 10 days or so. I trimmed off most of the fan leaves to make sure all of the bud sites are getting as much exposure to light as they can. Without question she has the hardest colas I have every grown. Even the smaller popcorn nuggets are like rocks. They are super sticky too!

Today is Day 65 for SassyGirl. It is also day 8th of her flush, she has only received water and molasses. I would like to see more amber trichromes but I do believe she is done and will get the chop in the next day or so. Over the last week she has really put on a good amount of mass to her flowers and you can really see it in the main cola when looking at pictures. Very happy with her so far.

Looking great !...have a Deep Blue going right now in the indoor grow log. It's fun to see what's
Around the corner....she's at day 32 and going strong...Thanks Hotbunz

She looks great to me! I really like small plants, pretty colors too.
There are about a million week smokers that would be thrilled to have your plant.
So much bud on a small plant, it looks more like a cactus.

Thanks for the tips about stunting by underfeeding. Your details help.

SassyGirl had a date with the axe tonight. Wet weight is 63 grams. I am hoping for 13grams after final trim and dry time. Not bad for a 10" tall plant in a 1.5 gallon pot. Her little(yet larger in a 3gallon pot) sister is starting to pack on the flowers, should be getting real interesting over the next couple of weeks. I would like to set a goal of 2oz off of her. I am going to start another seed in a wet paper towel tomorrow. I want to see what I can get out of the smaller 1.5 gallon sized plant if I work on tweaking the grow a little. I am really looking forward to seeing how she smokes. My back and ankle have been bothering me a lot lately and hoping this will help.

I really like what you've done with smaller plants, I'm space limited and have chosen strains that
Have a smaller profile. I'll be following your subsequent grows and am curious how your experiments
Come out...my next is two sour crack in 1gal air-pots...
