Indoor Mephisto Freebie Grow - NCH x SB

[Trichome Jim]

Here are some pics from week 10.

Still looking good, starting to fill in smell is getting more pronounced, one (the taller one) is quite fruity can’t put my finger on exactly what but smells tropical, second one (the stocky one) is a bit funky .

Last fertigation was as follows
In > 6.0ph @ 1.4ec Out > 6.2ph @ 1.6ec
I have started fertigating twice a day once in the morning fore I leave for work lightly with no run off just meant to keep the Coco from drying out and then a heavier feed after dinner with at least 20% runoff.

Here are some pics

Plants looking good, getting nice and frosty, the resin is quite sticky in a greasy sort of way, I plucked some inner leave and what rubbed off on my thumb and finger was very sticky.

They are starting to get a bit pungent as well, seeing a lot more shrivelled pistils but also new white ones as the plants bulk up.

Here are some pics

Plants are nearing the end now, starting to see amber on the sugar leaves and the odd one on the buds . Looks to me as though 90% of the pistils have shrivelled, and senescence has begun, some lightening of the fans has started to occur, they are still being fertigated at close to the same rate as they have from the beginning with only a slight change to the make up of the balance.

Last fertigation as follows
In @1.2ec/6.0ph out @ 1.4ec/6.2ph

Some early week 13 pics, getting close I think maybe another week, then a quick flush with PH’d water for a few days.

I took a couple buds from the inner area to get a little more air in the center of the plants .

I harvested these plants on day 92 and let each one hang as a whole plant . Drying took 5 days (I know not optimal but our humidity is 20% right now ambient) at which time I clean each down to small nugs and jarred.

They are very frosty, the top buds are dense but not rock hard. And everything else is a bit on the airy side, probably a good hash plant in honesty.

decent odour, almost a mild baby shits aroma to a sweet fruit on the end. The resultant high is pleasant not racy and not knock out, settles into a nice burnout and sleep afterwards.

If I was to grow again I would lollipop more heavily and really only leave the top 6” on each branch, perhaps do some type of scrog to eliminate some larf all in I got 5.5oz of kept buds and probably another oz in trim and other larf that went to the edibles pile I have in my freezer for later use.
