Mephisto Genetics DWC Orange Biscuits (NEW TESTERS) (2 tents, 2 plants)

[gringuito98]

I never had a problem with Rapid Rooters being too wet. I have had troubles germinating with Azos a long time ago and quit using it back then. Not saying it has anything to do with this. I do not use Mykos or anything other than Kelp and weak nutrients 150 PPM during germination. I use the Mykos at transplant.

Sooner or later we all have troubles with germination. I think it is just part of farming!

I am with you regarding the use of mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria. I‘ve tried to read as much as I could find about this topic a certain time ago and in summary I remember that:

- Products with beneficial bacteria should always be used within 24 hours. After this time it starts to get anaerobic. If you add it to your reservoir it‘s better to change water after this time. Better is to hand water your plants when applying it. Even so if you‘re growing in a SIP or Autopot ... I‘m using an Earthbox and I pour it by hand every other week. In DWC you can pour it close to the stem so the bacteria can get in direct touch with the root system.

- The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) infects the root system and grows together with it in perfect symbiosis. A single application does all the magic ... no further action required! In the case of DWC, you can apply it in seedling stage as described above. I use clay granules which are impregnated with AM and put a few of them 2in under surface right where I plan to plant the seed. AM have their greatest effect in organic, healthy systems ... their benefit with mineral feeding is lower.

Cheers and happy growing!

Seedling 1 Day 15.
This thing has turned itself into a decent soeed. I can't tell much but i feel as though it won't be huge but it will stack some bud. I expect a smaller-medium sized bush because of the little early life issues but she will get me probably just as much bud as if she was full sized. I had increased air to 100% in the bucket over the course of the last 3 days and just kept the ph around 5.88 and it has been happy with a tent temp of 76-78f and a humidity of 30%. 20/4 lights and turning a quarter turn each day.

Who knows how big she will really get. She may get HUGE

I rarely if ever grow a plant without issues but surprise myself the odd time! I'm sure she'll get to a nice size, she's vegging nicely now

Today is only 1 day later but she is taking off in vegas she is building like a major bush right now and that makes me very happy but i hope she has some stretch but not too much (which looks like she will). She has hit her stride and her roots have doubled over night.

I think the reason the roots were an issue with initial rooting was due to extremely vigorous rooting and have fast roots built. I now wish I had one more OB seed to test out after this round to see how it compares, but I'll have to probably wait till release. That's though ok as I have 2 other plants started to fulfill this round (sour crack and sweet n sour) and then i will be doing another 2 seeds of a different strain as testers for meph and DWC a canna cheese.. I expect the cc and other testers to be around mid February - beginning March and be done by mid June.

Here's the pics day 16

All of my Dwc plants vegging. L to r (all Mephisto autos) Orange Biscuits (tester), sour crack (F7) day 5 i think(or 4), Sweet N Sour (Illuminautos) day 3 i think(or 2)

This is not directly related to the growth of the plants but i do believe it is important to give a little insight into the mindset during growing of at least the types of plants that the grower prefers from the breeder so i will talk a bit about this and my feelings on what i have, what I'd like to see, and maybe some of this was released and i just don't know.

Anyway, my favorite Mephisto strain is Toof Decay. Just everything about it screams me. I can't do anything but enjoy it when I have it. It was a tough decision not to grow it this round and go with the sweet n sour.
Which brings me to me tie for second place...
Tied: sweet n sour and sour crinkle: both great strains:
sweet n sour: what's amazing about this strain is just everything. The yields are amazing, in soil i easily yield 100 grams without even trying. I haven't dared try it in DWC until now because of it's probable stupendous size, but I'm imagining a yield in the 250-300g range. The smell is out of this world funk. Just reeks and makes you want to out the lid back on so you can take it off again. The smoke is out of this world and i savor every moment of it... Heck right now i want it. Every last morsel of it is the most precious part of my smoking experience... And I'm almost out of seeds. The strength of the smoke is out of this world. The medical and recreational effects are both possible to achieve with low tolerance buildup. It's so resinous too. So if there was one strain to bring back, it'd be sweet n sour. At least so i can buy some and restock
Sour crinkle:what can I say. I have had long discussions late at night with friends about this strain, Reminiscing about it. Knowing we have saved a few seeds each for just that rare occasion we really want it. Knowing i have to use my last Illuminautos seeds almost now or never. Her strength in her smoke and her speed in her growth and her amazing suitability for dwc makes her one, if not the, best plants i have ever grown. Her beauty matches not many other due to her crinkled leaves that have been fattened by sour crack.

Since those then round out my top three i guess having all my top 3 in my arsenal is a good thing, even if I have only a few.

I've only grown the Sweet n Sour so far and she is everything you said she was! I've also loved anything bred to the Crinkle Cut. Double Grape is one of my favs!

I’m new here to AFN but have grown a lot of Mephisto in the last year. samsquench og is my all time favorite smoke effects wise it’s my go to. Also fallen in love with the profile of double grape it’s my number one mephisto in the terp department. The Orange biscuits I have going currently is looking really nice.

I love sweet n sour so much that, while i hate to have to reverse someones seeds, if it's not released in the next year I'll have to reverse my last 2 for a seed run just for a supply and I'd rather give meph the money for the hard work they did developing the strain. Especially since it does such a great job for my pain. Plus besides Canna-cheese 1:1, it's the only other strain that has worked well for some of my medical needs. I love that strain and would grow it out more if i had the seeds, but i save it for special occasions.
I still have Illuminautos dg release seeds because I know just how special those are and grow them here and there and have i think 3 or 4 left and i love those so much they are again another strain i keep in reserve for special occasions.
My worry with running my meph strains through and through till I'm all out is that i won't get the seeds again.

I have that strain as well (samsquanch og) from the first drop of it as well as probably almost everything else meph, how much of a medical effect does that have for you? Like how well does that work for pain and sleep? How about anxiety and headaches? Thanks for the info!

My worry with running my meph strains through and through till I'm all out is that i won't get the seeds again.

Living in the US, especially in a non-legal state, I've always worried about a government crackdown on weed, seeds, ect...
That's why I made my own seeds. I bred Purple Mazar, (a Stich so-called super auto that can go way over 100 days), with Sweet Seed's Red Poison and made a beautiful purple plant with finish times under 100 days. I then bred that cross to Stilton Special and made a cross I call Purple Stilton and it finishes around 75 days.. I haven't done anything else in a couple years, except give a lot of free seeds to family/friends. If a crackdown does ever happen, I feel confident that I can continue making more seeds. Btw, I've wanted to try and reverse a plant but had trouble making the silver solution.

I became a seed hoarder early on because of that exact same reason (worrying about a seed company getting lost, going belly up, committing suicide, etc.). As such I've become paranoid and never grew all my seeds. I've done my own thing a few times but still would rather not have to deal with male because of the size difference. Being in dwc you can't control pollen release as easily and then you have a huge number of seeds you don't want on a huge plant you didn't want to pollenate.
As far as reversing goes: i honestly use a 2 part sts mix that is made by another company and i just mix together and add distilled h2o. It may cost a fraction more and may seem like a cheap way out, but it works and i can't complain with the results for the price. Sts can be a pain if you don't trust yourself, but sometimes it's just a matter of just going with the flow and making sure you put down that news paper and soak up all the extra sts solution before it hits the plant's stems and only hits the flowers. It can be really rewarding having those fem crosses. Having any of your own crosses is awesome as you know.
