Mephisto Comp Weekly update (aand final selection) 3/2/18
@wwwillie @Ripper
To be honest I am not happy about how any of them look right now. Their growth seems to have stalled and I don't seem to get the full plush ladies like others do no matter how hard I try. Decided to go with my older 4 Assed Monkey as she is one that is growing better and showing the most bud sites at 38 days. She is in Meph soil amendment on the bottom and roots organic on top in 3 gallon airpot. She's been getting recharge once a week x2 weeks and last watering I started feeding with Megacrop at low dose since I am not satisfied with her progress thus far. That seems to have been tolerated well so I will likely keep feeding. She was in a solo cup until Feb. 17th (25 days) so maybe that slowed her down. Height seems maybe ok at 15 inches she is just not growing at a fast rate and not filling out. Environment seems okay temp wise, but humidity has been low. Maybe that is part of the problem. Light is 1000w hps 22-33 inches above. Have seen no deficiencies: color looks good, leaves look good, pH in pot is good between 6.4-6.8. Have done only leaf tucking so far as I still don't quite get how to do LST, but the leaf tucking doesn't really seem to have promoted lower growth, so I dunno. Anyhow, moving forward with Ms. 4 Assed Monkey [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] and we will see what happens. Here she is:
