Mephisto Genetics MCPD_Refugee’s Experiment with DWC and Double Grape

Day 80.

Sorry for missing the update yesterday. Life got in the way.

Wel...her buds aren’t huge. I attribute that to her sativa nature and that I kinda messed her up (like I usually do mid-flower). I think I need to cut the Cal/Mag in half and then taper off through flower. I also think that I need to drop the nitrogen sooner than I think I do. Live and learn. It’s not that this harvest is going to be horrible. I just think it probably could have been better. Anywho...she’s coming down on Saturday. As you might be able to see in the photos below, she is starting to amber up. She’s looking nice and frosty. She is smelling sweet. I wouldn’t exactly call it a Grape scent, but definitely fruity. Hopefully she’ll cure up with that same fruity smell and taste.

Day 82.

Alrighty. This will close out the grow portion of this journal. I took her down today. I will be back to post dry weights when I have them and I will, of course, take any comments and answer any questions you might have. I do have a few general observations from cutting her down, though:

1.) I could have been a bit more aggressive with pruning. There was a lot of stuff up under her skirt that I couldn’t see or couldn’t get to. Maybe I was holding out hope that they would swell up.

2.) I never understood when people said that they just dumped their small larfy buds into their trim pile. My philosophy has always been that every bud is a smokable bud....until now. There were just so many buds that I couldn’t keep them all. I didn’t have enough room in my tent to hang them all. Plus, this is only for my own consumption and I am totally bush league. I am not the pro that some of you are. And I don’t really have too many friends who have the liberty to partake. So...as it is, I’m gonna have to get creative...and then generous. But that’s another tale for later. By the way..everything except for the stems went into the trim pile. There were trichomes on everything..every.thing.

3.) Overall, I am very satisfied with this grow. It is a fantastic strain. @mephisto has really created something special with this gal. @Greenleaf Nutrients has a dead simple nutrient line that is one of the best - if not the best - around. @BigSm0 has some pretty awesome lights that made this show possible. I owe you a review for your lights on your website.

4.) My little jalapeño plant gets to come out of hiding, and hopefully start making some peppers.

5.) My guess is 8.4 ounces dry.

Finally, a big shout out to @Dabber, the high priest of the Mega Crop Cobmob for showing me the light. Where once I was blind, now I can see. A special shoutout to @Seabass for the constant encouragement both here and on Instagram. @BCBudlady, I thank you for your constant presence and commentary. @Seymourbud, thank you for commentary as well. And @Froot n Fuel and @richykn thank you for starting off and following all the way through. If I’ve missed someone, I apologize.

I want to thank everyone who stopped by my little grow journal to watch, like and comment over the past twelve weeks or so. I appreciate all of the comments and compliments. I am truly humbled that some of the best growers I know (um...that’s you guys) took the time to compliment me.

Next up...March of 2019...the microgrow show - it’ll be my 4th and least experimental...one liter hempy bottles inspired by @hairyman and @Spanglish. It’s time to sample some freebies.
