Growing Mephisto NCH x SB that I recieved as a freebie in 2020 , I will refer to this as Bubble Cheese .
Indoor Mephisto Freebie Grow - NCH x SB
- Thread starter Trichome Jim
- Start date
Seeds were started in a small cup of water on Dec 12th and allowed to soak overnight, the next day they were transferred to damp paper towel enclosed in an old DVD case and placed in my Tv stand beside my cable box which stays approximately 75*.
Seeds were checked after 24 hours and one seed had started to show its tail, closed it back up for another 24 hours when both seeds had cracked and were showing the Taproot.
One seeds had completely shed its shell the other was approximately 1” long they were then planted in a 70/30 Coco and perlite mix just deep enough to be at the surface of the media and placed under an led lamp 2” from the top of the solo cup and left alone for 1 week with no additional fertigation .
Day one will be tagged as Dec 14th 2023

Nothing much to report, growing well thus far , both seedlings were moved from their starting under the LED lamp into the grow cab on Day 10 at approximately 20” from the 200w LED tuned to 150PPFD at leaf surface , they also received their second fertigation on Day 10 which was just tap water ph’d to 6.0 with 600ec worth of Remo Magnifical until some runoff was achieved. Here are a few pics from Week 2
Seedlings are doing well, fertigation every other day at .7ec / 5.9ph to runoff of .8ec / 5.8ph .
Started preparing the final pot media which is reused 70/30 Coco that was heavily rinsed and raked for root removal and strained to remove fine coco peat. The media was then Buffered with 2x strength cal mag / Cannazym solution.
Seedlings were fertigation with this same solution diluted to .9ec/5.8ph prior to transplanting while the buffering took place overnight

Doing well so far, seedlings have been transplanted on Day 21 into their final 1 Gallon pots, they were not fertigated at transplant as the media was still moist from the buffering, I will allow a couple days for the roots to amalgamate into the new media. 1st set of leaves was removed also, I am going to let them grow somewhat naturally and just try to manage the canopy by clipping the fan leaves of the leading shoot

Alright, so decided to take another set of leading fans from the top to help the bottoms catch up some . Here are some pics afterwards

The start of week 6 has begun, I took the lower main fans and one more set from the top.
Fertigation as follows
In@ 1.1ec/5.8ph out @ 1.0ec/5.9ph
It was 3 days between fertigation and they were showing signs of thirst.

Not much going on, they are definitely in flower now didn’t really have any stretch to speak of , I was hoping these were going to get a bit bigger having both parental donors being of the larger variety from what I could tell. No matter as long as the smoke is good it will have been worth it.
Fertigation every other day this week and may need to go up to daily as they are going through much quicker now , here are the numbers from the last fertigation
Plant 1 - in@ 5.8ph/1.0ec Out @ 6.0ph/.9ec
Plant 2 - in@ 5.8ph/1.0ec Out @ 6.0ph/.9ec
They had a slight claw last week on some random leaves this has cleared it self up and has generally ceased appearing.

Here are some pics from the beginning of week 8.
Still looking good, starting to add pistils daily, fertigation is daily In the late evening which is about lunchtime for these plats as my 4 hrs of dark is from 10am to 2pm
Last event was as follows
5.8ph/1.2ec in > 6.0ph/1.0ec out
I let the resivior that I take my fertigation from drift upto 6.0ph before I adjust it down its a 2 gallon bucket and lasts about 3 days.
Plant 1 is now 16” tall and plant 2 is 13” tall , they have been stretching a little as the buds set, I don’t believe it will continue much longer.
There is minimal smell I would say on the stem rub they are similar but plant 1 is a bit more fragrant. No trichs yet except on the single indicator bracts at the armpits of the leaves
