I understand, I did the same thing when I first joined the site! It took me a week to figure out how to start a thread on the app. [emoji28] [emoji23]

Awesome,there's some differences in coco growing but the benefits are much greater once you get used to growing in it,I jumped from soil to coco head first and had some struggles( before I joined AFN) and figured it was the water source,once that was taken care of...smooth sailing ...peace

Happy Friday! 
I'm doing this update then taking an online final exam before I pull a 7-page paper out of my rear so I know how hard I have to tug LOL. Also going to my son's last bistro night in high school, he is on the culinary arts team that took 5th place in a national competition (the ONLY public school to place).
On to Mimi:
29May - Fed 1cup nute mix.
2Jun - Mixed up new nute mix according to the mid-veg level at 1/4 strength. 1/2gal of water with 1/2tsp each of Medusa's Magic, Gaia Mania, Herculean Harvest, Athena's Aminos, and 1/4tsp each of Zeus Juice, Demeter's Destiny, and Aphrodite's Extraction ppm 450 pH 5.8. Also saw signs of girly parts at the fourth node, 26 days old.
3Jun - Now feeding her 1 cup of nute mix a day until mid-flower then I'll up it to 1 cup twice a day unless she says she wants more. 27 days old 7" tall and 8.5" wide.
Girly parts!

Friday update time! I finally understand pre-flower stretch - I kept my photo girl in veg so long she just grew to what her pot size would allow prior to my switch to flowering...Mimi, on the other hand, has just ZOOMED in growth this past week!
4Jun - 1cup nute mix
5Jun - The girl was thirsty with the hot weather we were having so she received 1cup nute mix in the morning and a second cup of nute mix in the evening.
6Jun - Fed 1cup nute mix.
7Jun - Mixed up new nutrients according to Nectar for the Gods advanced feed schedule in late veg at 1/2 strength - 1/2gal of water with 1tsp each Medusa Magic, Gaia Mania, Athena's Aminos, Aphrodite Extraction, 1/2tsp of Zeus Juice and Demeter's Destiny, & 1.5tsp of Herculean Harvest ppm 830 pH 5.3. Added 1/2tsp of Olympus Up ppm 860 pH 6.3, added 1/8tsp of Hades Down ppm 880 pH 6.1. Fed 1cup, checked on her a few hours later & she was exhibiting over-water droop so I let her dry out on the 8th.
9Jun - Fed 1cup nute mix.
10Jun - 34 days above soil, still looking at least ten days behind a normal auto flower schedule, attributing it to the 12/12 light schedule. Fed 1cup nute mix. Now standing 12.5" tall by 14" wide.
Sativa-dom Mephisto strain that likes to side branch, I need to go look at journals to figure out what our mystery girl might be.
Girly parts!

After researching Mephisto Genetics journals I think my girl is an Alien vs Triangle. Her leaf structure and growth is very similar to a few AvT journals on here. Once she starts flowering give a shout out to Mephisto to see what Mitch thinks.

My favorite day - Update Friday!
WOOHOO In the past week Mimi has grown 5.5" in height and 1" in width. I was able to fold a set of fan leaves under secondary branches to give them more light. She's starting to slow her growth and transition to flowering so I changed up her feeding a bit and added potassium since my nutrient line was lacking! She has lots of bud site for such a small girl. I make sure to turn her at least twice a day since she isn't centered under the light.
