Indoor Perpetual Mephisto Madness

[Coffee&Kush]

I currently have an all-Mephisto operation with a few grow spaces. Currently running two mini SOG Grows with 24c and blue kush. Also germinating, Toofless alien and Skyler White.

The blue kush should be interesting.

These are 19 days from seed and I'm running 9 of them in a 3x3 tent with 315 watts of ceramic metal halide by sun systems. The goal is to exceed one lb in 70 days from seed in a 3x3 space. I actually expect to exceed 1.5 grams per watt with a Mephisto SOG.

Also a 24 carat SOG with the same specs except that there are eight 24c. I've got a massive midget from heavyweight filling a space temporarily it I'll be moving it out soon.

The philosophy for these grows is to keep things as dead simple as possible.

The grow media are small 2.5 gallon Hempy buckets made from dollar store bins and buckets filled with coarse pearlite and coco coir.

Lighting for the two SOG's is LEC 315 and in another space twin Solar storm 440 LED.

Here is the 24 carat.

NUTES: General hydroponics Maxibloom powder as the base. The standard feeding will be 1 teaspoon per gallon, adjusted to 5.8 ph.

We'll focus on the Blue Kush SOG step by step.

Ingredients:

3x3 Apollo horticulture tent 95.00
Buckets. 10.00
Rapid rooters. 16.00
Bag of perlite. 15.00
10 kilo brick of GH COCO. 15.00
Maxibloom powder 2.5 lb bag. 17.00
Oscillating fan: 22.00
Scrubber and fan: 135.00
LEC 315 light. 450.00
10 Blue Kush seeds. 100.00 (estimates)
Anaheim scientific PH pen 75.00
TDS pen. 20.00
Ph up and ph down. 25.00.

Total startup cost less than 1000.00.

Should pay for itself over 2x first run. So let's do it!

Sounds like an exciting ride! Looking forward to seeing you crush it! Just looked at one of those light at the local hydro store today actually lol. But I've seem some killer grows on youtube, I can't wait to see what you can do too! Subbed!

I can't find the link to your journal. I'll try when I'm on a laptop.

I can tell you what they'll do, LOL. They'll fry the little ladies if you get them too close. Ran them a smidgen hot on the blue Cush and lost a couple leaves over that. They're settling in nicely though as they're out of the gate without getting jostled about so much.

Everything will gave different space soon as I'm putting in a 4x 8 tent. I'll still run the blue kush in the 3x3 but the 8 24c along with the 4 Skyler whites and 5 Toofless aliens that just popped go into the 4x8 with two solar storm 440's and one LEC 315.

So lots of changes, guys. I'm consolidating my grow spaces and it's gonna save me a ton. Now going to have to get another light. LEC 315 BABYYYYY!!!!!!

So....

We have one 4x8 tent with two solar storm 440's and one LEC 315. I've got two other 3x3 tents ready to go, too, but need that other light and need some seedlings.

I culled two of the 9 blue kush so I'll have 7of those. Here's current headcount.

1 heavyweight massive midget
8 Mephisto 24 carat
7 runty looking blue kush
5 toof decay
4 Skyler white.

And just started 8 white train and two fantasmo express.

I've been preoccupied with the move and worn out and the blue kush didn't get the TLC they should have had and suffered some light burn. . And probably some nute burn too. Got too aggressive too quick I think.

I'l be glad when I've
Got this all sorted. It's going to be much much much easier to tend.

I've got water and a drain in my grow space now. . It's also much cooler and humidity is great. I'm pretty excited by it all. I'll have some pics soon.

Water and a drain oh the things we take for granted untill we don't have them. If you're not going to use the drain for a couple days you may want to cover it or put a shot of bleach in it. Those little pest can find unlikely sources of standing water. Envy envy to have water and a drain[emoji3]

Outstanding idea. . Oh, man, did I ever get tired of humping buckets of water up and down stairs.

Everything is looking good to me! ...not that that carries any weight lol. But regardless, great job so far. I'm excited you get to get another light! Man I thought it was gonna be a killer grow with just what you were doing, but every time I check this thread, there's more beans going in the "ground"!!! It just gets better and better!

 

[gardenhackle]

I just found out my new Mephisto order arrives Monday. Might have to drop more beans.

Just picked up a 32 gallon Husky trash can with lid. I'm going to prep my solutions in advance and give them a few days for shit to stabilize and temperature to normalize. . When I give them 5.8 ph, I want It to be REAL 5.8 at temperature and after all chemical reactions. Got to install the scrubber and some more outlets today.

Ok, lots. More work in my grow space to c tinier the organization process. Finally have everything reasonably dialed in again. WHEW!!

So hopefully smooth sailing for awhile.
