Indoor Mephisto

[automan2]

It's been years since I posted a grow here at AFN so thought I'd share this Mephisto grow.
I've been growing my own perpetually for 13+ years , primarily to medicate this friggin MS crap and found that good weed also negates any need of pain meds for recent surgeries.
I start all my seeds under T5 HO on a thermostatically controlled heat pad 24/0....I place the seeds in moistened biobizz lite mix, cover til germed then just givem time. In 3-4 weeks, they'll move to the flowering tent.
My flowering environ is a small 2x3x5 tent inside a closet. Fresh air is ducted from a crawlspace via a 4 inch centrifugal fan with exhaust handled by another just like it. I do use a carbon filter but still get a lil odor from the more odorous strains.
I've learned to keep my grows simple and it's worked for me a long time. I've used various mediums and for this grow, I'm using biobizz lite mix.
These are Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey and Ghost Toof. I had a Sweet & Sour stunt and popped another one that'll be a couple of weeks behind. 4AM and GT are 45 days old. They're in 2 ltr pots and being fed conservatively with either fox farms trio or biobizz products. Of course, since converting to led/cobs, I use cal-mg.
They're being flowered under 1200 w led and 2 autocobs which have been giving me some healthy herb!
I only run my lights 14/8 mostly at night to make use of lower temps.
These pics take you through the veg period.

Here's the girls at 45 days. 4AM had a lil mg deficiency but GT is kicking it.

Ghost Toof quickly became one of my favorites. Have 1 running now just into week 5. This one is a little more on the Fantasmo side than my last one. More lanky and open.

The girls at 55 days. Ghost Tooth is looking a lil better than 4 Assed monkey. I did minimal lst on both and fed half doses of fox farm trio.
Had a fan failure 2 weeks ago which caused temps to rise to 100+f. I caught it within an hour so perhaps it won't affect much although smell was definitely reduced.
If these go to 80+ days, they're gonna be nice and fat.

Well, harvesting the mephisto girls wasn't as much fun as I expected. From all I've read, I thought I'd be awestruck. That is not the case.
First, the mephisto strains I've grown needs a larger pot to become impressive. Second, in the last month, both GT and 4AM firmed up the buds but also became so bushy that trimming was the worse I've experienced.
A Sweet&sour stretched and became small buds on stalks.
I'd guess each will provide 1.5oz dry and they do smell potent.
Now, compare these to another auto grown beside them...same everything, ssme soil, nutes, lights, environ ....that gave 11.5 oz wet.
There's no question what my grows will be comprised of from now on.
