New Grower Mephisto: Round 2 - Nectar for the Gods

[Arthur]

Thanks for the information. I've been watching the NftG videos and reading what I can find The SLF-100 is on its way. How often do you use it?

Also ordered Aphrodite's Extraction and will be using Recharge.

i use once a week when i give benniees, at 5ml a gal.

Well had my first little plant accident - broke 1/2 of the top growth tip off a Fantasmo when my elbow hit it on a lean-in. Basically I topped it at the third node, but only one one side. So I bent the other half down to the side exposing the grown tips just below at node 2.

Possible options:

• a) finish topping it
• b) don't bend it
• c) leave it be as it is

Been here....pretty recently... give it a day or two to think on, she'll get a little more growth, & might give you a clearer indication of what would work best.

Just a little update...

First - I'm dividing them into 2 groups insofar as "days" are counted: Group 1 will start at 2/18 (FE2 & 3, GG1) and Group 2 2/25 (FS1, WC1, GG2). Second - thus far the soil and feedings have gone well, the only issue I can really see is a little problem with nitrogen. The Greek Regimen:

• Group 1 has been getting 3/4 strength Nectar line for 2 feeds.
• Group 2 has gotten 3/4 strength of Medusa's Magic + Gaia Mania + Zeus Juice.
• Two days ago I did a HH + SLF-100 + ReCharge + Green MicroBiotics + Aphrodite’s Extraction for everyone.
• Next feeding Group 1 will get full feeding, Group 2 will be getting 1/2 full feeding.

Here's a question: I'm aware that Bloom Khaos needs a 1:6 ratio with HH to avoid deficiencies. But their own feeding guide seems to ignore this: early veg 5 ml/qt foliar BK & only 5ml HH. ???

Observation: So I germinated Group 1 at a very high heat by accident (~92-95F) and all of them have done well so far, aggressive growth. The rest were mixed temps, but mostly 78-82F and of those, 3 didn't make it (all seeds germinated within 24hrs). ???

Gold Glue 1 (GG1) - so fast, thick stem and large leaves.

Fantasmo Express 2 (FE2): So I tried to FIM a week ago instead of topping - my second attempt, failed again. Don't believe I'll be trying it again...

Fantasmo Express 3 (FE3)

Gold Glue 2 (GG2)

Fugue State 1 (FS1)

White Chem (WC1)

Not bad for 17 days...especially if you count my fuck-ups.

The guide is giving BK for foliar. I do not foliar with bk... it is like crack... I water in, starting low at 1 ml per gallon, and up slowly, starting when they sex. I have one running now that is at 6 Tbls HH 2 tsp of BK and flying thru. If it's too much, you'll see every difficiancy imaginable... fast.. if you overdo, Demeters and athenas will help combat BK claw.

Wow man, your girls are looking healthy!

And yes! The girls are looking healthy! Always nice to peak in the tent, and just stand there lookin... not panicking!

Things are fine, not totally under control, but fine. Thought nitrogen was a little high (clawing leaves - visible in the low-horizontal shot below), reduced feed, not sure that was the problem as we got a couple yellowing leave on the bottom. I know RH was too high for too long, that's been lowered.

Little photo update: Today is day 30 for the big ones in front, day 21 for the group in back.

So I lied when I stated that FIMing wouldn't be done again. I just couldn't leave it, so I took an whack at the Fantasmos - curious to see what becomes of it. Overall I'm happy with the branchy shapes...

Fanstasmo Express 2 - like the tops of 6 colas being so close in height.

Fantasmo Express 3

Gold Glue in the middle - I cut two fans leaves about mid way up. They were completely blocking the lower-wider bud sites.

Most everyone looked happy and I started the foliar Bloom Khaos today because I forgot to add it in the feed last night. The instruction for it's use all over the place, everyday, twice a week, start at the beginning, wait until flower transition, etc. But I've made sure everyone has enough HH for the job. So I took a couple more photos to mark the occasion...

Fantasmo Express 2 - kinda tall, thinking of supercropping, but...the main stem or individual branches? Considering the main stem horizontal to the bottom points of the green support wire...
