New Grower Mephisto GWK, 4AM, Bubbly Livers, AvT in Coco

Wow that GWK grease looks spectacular @Dr.Bubbles. That should inspire any new grower.
Great strain selection for your first grow @Beerhunter CDN Can't go wrong with that set of strains. @Mizzo81 is a good guy to ping on Mephisto strains when you start thinking about the next grow and what strains will be to your liking.
@slowandeasy taught me all that I showed you as you know. Quite the guy. Has a knack for explaining things well in PM's so hit him up down the road with questions too.
How'd you decide to tag @Azad ? That guy is from south africa! And a good guy from the PM's I have had with him.
I’ve been reading some of Slow’s advice in other grows for sure. I came across Azad’s grow journal and liked what I had seen so I tagged him in on this also. I find that I’m learning much from many here and I’m trying to keep note of good info. New growers and vets all contribute to my learning curve but you have been instrumental in keeping me on track.
 
Hi AFN!

This is my first grow and I hope to make it a successful one. I’m working with a 4x4 tent in my insulated garage, 2 - Meizhi 600W Blurples, 6” extraction fan and carbon filter controlled with a digital thermostat, 2- 6” fans for circulation, oil rad heater, and a humidifier. I’m starting with Mephisto Genetics Grape Walker Kush, 4 Assed Monkey, AvT, and Bubbly Livers all in Canna Coco using 3 Gallon fabric pots. Nutrients are AN Sensi grow and Bloom, AN Calmag +, AN Overdrive, Big Bud, and Voodoo Juice.


Before I go any further, I need to give a very big Thank You and shout out to @lunarman. He has taken me under his wing so to speak, giving me direction and advice to start my grow. Without a doubt, I’ve avoided many pitfalls because of him. He has been extremely generous with his time and his knowledge to myself, on AFN, and in our hometown. I have had the pleasure of meeting him over a pint and I look forward to many more. Thank you so much Lunarman!


I germed seeds in paper towels taking about 24 hours to pop. I planted those seeds in Solo cups with coco at 1/4 strength nutes. Seeds were handled using tweezers only! @slowandeasy I put domes over the cups and back in the tent at 28C. 24 hours later and they were all up. I’m now working on day 3 for all. I am curious to see root growth so I did use a clear cup for AvT that is a bit smaller than the others.


I would greatly appreciate a few sets of eyes on my op, any advice would be well received. Thank you all. @lunarman @Azad @archie gemmill @Dudeski @bushmasterar15 @F.N. @Need4Weed @Rollin_along

Not sure you will fit all 4 in your tent in 3 Gal pots of Coco. If your plants do well, expect to upgrade your tent size bro.
 
I'm getting ready to drop some GWK myself! I just harvested Double Grape and put some White Crack in the jar to cure today. I've found 6 - 8 zips is doable with coco and a decent environment with most all Mephisto strains! :headbang:
 
LST and top notch genetics. Tie that girl up sideways and let her grow WIDE. It is a perfect plant for a big harvest. ROCK solid buds as you can see. It's the stickiest strain I've grown indoors. Odor control is ESSENTIAL. I learned that when I came home one day and smelled it from 100 feet away outside by the road....where joggers and walkers of furry critters are every day. And that was just 2 plants. I found that GWK was easier to trim dry, which has the added benefit of having a slower dry. You want it as slow as you can without any weird mold/mildew/hay smells. If you get that, figure it out pronto. Bud rot is a very real thing and these donkey dick colas from George Walker Kush are primed to be textbook examples of it. Just be aware. This is your rookie grow? Enlighten me on what BF is, lol....I have no idea. I go to Phisto.com. I also have a pic of an AVT around here, lemme see if I can dig her up. Not familiar with those lights, but I LOVE me some Canna Coco, and AN noots are pretty straight forward. Do yerself a super solid and grab a pH pen. The $15 ones on Amazon work fine, just make sure to keep the probe moist and CHECK THE CALIBRATION EVERY TIME!!! I've had some incidents from faulty pH pens. The easy way around that is to grab a pair. That way you know for sure. The pH scale is a base ten logarithmic scale meaning pH 6.0 is 10x more acidic than pH 7.0, and 100x more acidic than 8.0. Also, another GREAT idea is to grab a cheap reverse osmosis filter like the RO Buddy that does 50g a day. Tap water and hydroponics are not a good idea. I also noticed you started in Solo cups, make sure to get those in the 3gal pots before they get rootbound. That's a good way to stunt an auto, and every day is on the clock unlike photos. You can just cut the bottom off the Solos and plant the whole cup about halfway deep in coco for the least shock on the chicklets. I found it the AVT pic!!! I only took one right at harvest. Here she is in all her LST glory.

This is my first grow, I’m a complete rookie. That AvT is another amazing plant. I can only hope to get these seedlings to a plant like that. BF is Black Friday, I picked them up on the last sale.

Great advice on the pens. I do have a cheap pen and Lunarman straightened out my follies with the pen today too. I used one clear Solo cup to get an idea of how the roots grow and how quickly the roots grow. That cup is a little smaller than the others so if it fills with roots I know the others aren’t far behind and I’ll get them transplanted.

I was discussing this with Lunarman today actually. By the time I get a heater, humidifier, and fans in there 4 plants will be a tight squeeze. I have a couple of smaller fans that can sit below the canopy under the plants for airflow and clip fans to put above the canopy in the corners. Outside of that I’ll have to get creative. Or buy a bigger tent....

I have a "solution" for you to gain some real estate back. Make a 4'x4' square of some plywood, put legs on it and raise the floor. If you practice LST, your plants will be shorter, and every tent I've seen has an abundance of overhead vertical space going to waste. Your new 'floor' on stilts gives you double the floor space for the ladies and all your gear can go underneath. Use a router or a jigsaw and get some big holes in the plywood to make the environment equal above and below. Mount a couple 12v DC fans in the 100-120mm range on the bottom of the plywood. One sucking and the other blowing to get the air moving internally. Steal 20" of free space to gain 16² feet of growing area. Just an idea, and it won't be expensive at all if it's something that sounds up your alley.

And on a side note...Mephisto had freaking GRAPE WALKER KUSH FOR SALE????? On black Friday????? And I MISSED IT???!??!??? My buddy spearheaded the campaign to get GWK back. They specifically said they were done with that....BUT, I did hear a whisper that it was making a return. Luckily I still have a dozen of the original bastards, and I'm gonna try and turn that into a lifetime supply. I've never done it, but it's something that has to be done. I'm not even huge on the flavor...it's not bad though, and it's totally unique to anything I've ever smoked. It's extremely potent, the definition of one hit shit. It packs a real potent stoney high that absolutely puts you on your ass 3 hours later, and you have this narcotic crash where it's like a sleeping pill and knocks you out. Very similar to some Afghani or some old school Hindu Kush. Straight up strong indica. AVT tastes like ruby red grapefruit...it even takes your breath away like a real grapefruit and the flavor sticks inside your mouth. Here is a pic. Very last gram of AVT and a little dot of GWK shatter and a gumball of GWK, that was just photographed about 3m ago at my kitchen table, which normally has food pics on it for the foodie thread. Come on over sometime if ya like to eat...lol. It's called Live Stoner Eats !!! Let's See what's for Dinner.

Not the best pic and that dope is a year old. Fully cured and it still tastes great!! And a pic of Kush Grape Walker because it's not a party without GWK...which is also quite old. Not quite as pretty as day 10 post chop, but man it's still just mind numbingly strong. The Kush is an easy plant to grow and I wish you the very best of luck on your first foray into self sufficiency from the shady dope dealer down the way.

The table is a great idea! Thanks so much for that. Normally I would use this as an excuse to justify a larger tent but I don’t think I could squeeze one into my garage, it’s like a jigsaw puzzle in there now!

Yeah, GWK was on sale on the Canadian BF sale, I don’t know for sure about the US or Europe but I think it was. You’ve got me so hyped about this strain, how am I supposed to wait until the plant is done and cured!?!? See you at Live Stoner Eats!!
