Mephisto Genetics Fugue State, Autocobs, and Advanced Nutrients

[R_HIDIA]

I hope this isn’t a “No-No” I have started this same thread in the cobshop.net forum as well. I’d like to bring attention to both great vendors on here (not that they don’t already get a lot!) as well as increase exposure to my grow in case I run into problems (quite likely! Lol) so I’ve cut and pasted my post from that thread. Again, I hope I’m not breaking any rules here...


Hello everyone! Been a little busy so I haven’t had the time to keep up with this grow.


Tent 2x4x6
Day 28
3x Fugue State in 3gal airpots using 100%coco (first time using coco)
3x autocobs
I’ll put some pics up later today when I get home.

The story so far... plants were started in small plastic cups and transplanted into 3gal airpots on/around day 5. I had to go out of town for work for about a week early on and while away I had to depend on someone else to water them for me. They ended up watering as close to the main stalk as possible and I believe that caused a little stall and perhapsa few other issues early on. Anyways, things seem to be much better now- not perfect but not totally botched either! I did some defoliation the other day and got rid of some of the larger leaves that were blocking sites etc. Also got rid of any leaves that were showing “issues” and did some LST and opened things up a bit. If there was any slow down or stall from that work I’d say it’s done with as the last time I had a look at them they seem to be starting a bit of a stretch. I just entered the stage of the feed schedule where a few new things have been introduced and the plants seem to be responding well. Fingers crossed thatthings go well from here on in. I’m reallylooking forward to trying the finished product as I prefer and really love sativastrains. Will update with pics later today.

Ok. So here’s a pic update. They’re on day 28... I didn’t bend any of them right over. I only did some defoliation and opened them up and tied down some branches for maximum light penetration.

Okay, Day 33

I got one that’s lanky, and the other two are Very similar in stature- they’re both more of a bush right now. I can’t help but feel that they are at least a week behind, possibly closer to two weeks. I chalk this up to a few factors...
1) when I was out of town for work for a week my wife watered them as close to the base of the plants as she could when they were just under 2 weeks old. Pretty sure she drowned the roots just a bit! Lol.
2) my temps have been cooler than I care for. When it’s hot outside the AC is going pretty good and where my tent is it gets pretty cool. I see temps of 20-21C on some days. My better days are 23-24C and 22C seems to be the avg...
3) this might be a factor, but not 100% convinced perhaps my defoliation was a bit on the aggressive side??? We’ll see in the end I guess...
So the two shorter ones are just a tad under a foot tall, and the lanky one is 17in tall. From what I’ve seen of this strain on other people’s grows, things didn’t reallyget going until after day 40, so I’m hopingthat I see a big change after another week.What I can say is that the two shorterplants have a lot of branches that couldpossibly develop into something amazing-I’m just thinking that they should be furtherdeveloped by now. A lot of the potential I’m speaking of is just so young and I questionif there’s enough time for them to fully develop. Fingers crossed! Only time will tell! I do recall in one of the tester threads(I can’t recall who it was) but they were worried that their plant just wasn’tdeveloping as expected and in the end he had 150gram plant! I’d love a fewsurprises like that! This is it for now but I’ll be sure to update on sun/mon as I just fedthem their first bloom nutes earlier today. They probably needed it yesterday but itwasn’t possible. They got a little lighter than I would’ve liked but that’s life! Hopeall of you are doing well and have awonderful weekend. I’m working Saturday and Sunday but oh well. Shouldn’t be too bad.

Sooo... I haven’t been posting or updating in this section as it didn’t really seem as there was much interest. I’ve been keeping it going in the cobshop forum but I figure I’ll bring this thread up to speed.

Day 46

There have been some bumps in the road but things are progressing.
The furthest along plant is 35in tall, the next one appears to be 3-4 days behind that one and is 22in tall, and the last one is 26in tall and about a week behind the front runner.

Day 48

Plants are moving along. I’m thinking they may have finally stopped growing vertically but that remains to be seen. After the group shot I’ve included a shot of each to give an idea of how they’re developing. In order 36in, furthest ahead, 27in furthest behind and the final shot is of the middle plant 24in and about 3-4 days behind the tallest.

Noticed that they didn’t upload in the order I had intended. The single plant pics are still in the order I mentioned.

Day 50
I have to say after pulling the plants out of the tent this morning to water and check them out etc. I am actually very happy with what I’m seeing. Overall health is decent for this stage of the game. Not perfect- but there aren’t any issues that have me concerned. I feel if they just stay on course I’ll be a happy camper!

Actually now that I think of it, there is something new I’m a bit concerned about... today’s feed was the first time introducing bud factor x into the mix along with overdrive. The overdrive didn’t raise any concern but when I opened the bud factor x and was measuring it out it seemed a bit clumpy/ things floating around. I can’t remember what the consistency is supposed to be like. I spilled that down the drain and decided to shake it up a lot more. I figured wtf, and added it to my feed. If I see anything terrible as a result well they won’t get that anymore! Fingers crossed that all goes well!

Also in case anyone got confused with the pics, I’ll break it down here... first pic is plant [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG], pic 2&3 is the bottom and top of plant [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG], pic#4(plant on the ground and pic taken from above) is plant#2, and the last pic is plant#3(furthest behind in terms of development)

Day 51
So after yesterday’s feed I didn’t notice anything strange or drastic as a result of that questionable bud factor x I threw into the mix. I did notice a slight amount tip burn/curl as I had also upped the base nutes. They’re looking quite green as a result. When I mixed up today’s feed I stayed with the increase in base nutes. Things overall are rolling along quite well. I am a bit tight in the tent though. Earlier I had considered clearing out more of the lower growth so as to let the plants focus on their most dominant colas but I decided there’s still plenty of time left and I’d like to see what can come from them as a whole. I’m happy to make edibles with anything that just doesn’t quite make the cut! Lol!

 

[R_HIDIA]

Also, upward growth continued on plant#3. She’s now 30in tall, the others seemed to have stopped at just under 37in and 24in. I’m hoping [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] is done and can start to focus on flowering! Forgot to mention... that experiment Ihad going with only the furthest behind plant using a reflector, it’s been cut short! I would say that it wasn’t going to pull ahead in my opinion, but from what I saw I didn’t want my other two to go any further without using the reflectors as well. Especially since I have a lot of sites halfway down I figure I’dwant the most light intensity/penetrationIcan get at this stage!

Good looking grow. That's gonna be some fire. Did you do any training at all?
