Mephisto Genetics MCPD_Refugee’s Experiment with DWC and Double Grape

Day 54. The stretch is finished - thank goodness. She’s standing at 48 inches tall from the top of the bucket. Her buds are starting the long arduous fattening process now. I did a reservoir change this morning. I left everything the same: Mega Crop at 4 g/gal, Sweet Candy and Bud Explosion at 1 g/gal, Cal+Mag Pro at 1.5 g/gal and Hydroguard at 2 mL/gal. This afternoon, I started to see the slightest tip burn, so I may dilute her reservoir tomorrow morning with a liter or two of plain water and then back off the Mega Crop to 3.5 g/gal on the next reservoir change. At some point in the next couple of days, I’m going to sit down and have a major defoliation session to get some light down into the middle of the plant if I can. Finally, it is getting difficult to take good photos of her. Her buds are just above the top of the tent opening. I stick the camera in there and click the button hoping that I’m getting a decent photo.

The stretch is over! Long live the BUDS.
 
I’m gonna give my buddy a double grape to run with his mothers. It’ll out frost his photos and since it’ll be in hydro it will produce well. @mcpd_refugee still just cruising like a seasoned hydro pro.
Thank you, @Mizzo81. I don’t feel like a hydro pro. I feel like an imposter. I am glad things are working out, though.
 
Day 58

The fattening continues. I’m not sure that I have a whole lot more than that to add. She’s drinking a lot still. I am topping off the bucket with at least 1.5 liters every day. Some times I add as much as 2.75 liters. She’s definitely got a stank to her. I’m not good with aromas. To me it smells like weed and ten year old sneakers with subtle notes of warm Parmesan cheese. See? I told you. If you get in close to the buds, there’s a slightly fruity smell to her. Whatever it is, she’s a real stinker. She’s also frosting up more and more every day. There’s is one notable thing...the three stems that I bent over are straightening back out again and growing towards the light.
