New Grower Second Grow - Mephisto and Dutch Passion

[Zootown68]

Began some LST today. Back is Sam OG x Forum Stomper, in front of her is the Mango Smile, and the Auto Ultimate is on the right. Moved the tent to a different part of the room near the window and brought in an AC unit to keep temps down. Will be running exhaust out too. Supposed to be over the century mark the next several days here!

Looks good. I dig the lazy susans, I might dig up some old spice jar spinner things I have somewhere in a box somewhere in my house. Or in the garage. Or they didn't get moved..

Looking good. I have a feeling your plants will end up filling your useable canopy. You should consider mounting the filter up top, or moving the fan and filter outside the tent to free up more space for more yields.

Alot of people don't realize you can actually push the air out through your filter. You don't have to pull air through it, if for some reason you can't mount it up top in the tent. You definitely won't regret freeing up 25% more space for your canopy!

Either way, good luck on your second run. It's usually alot better than the First!

Thanks, @North Forge ! I had the filter up top last run, and considered having it outside the tent, but I want to keep the room as much a room for humans and plants to share as possible. Dont want guests to have to wrestle with additional hardware, etc. If it gets too tight, mind you I'll take evasive action! I'm LST'ing the snot out of them right now, so... we'll see. Hahaha

Just shy off a month now. Some shots of the torture, one gal caught with her drawers down, and more torture. Looking nice and flat with lots of activity up top. Did a little Neem to knock out some gnats. Put in some sticky traps. Got a couple spiders helping. . Happy 4th, everybody.

They are getting a little more leggy now. And the budding sites on the Sam OG x Forum Stomper (back left) are coming together nicely. Mango Smile (front left)

coming in second with bud dev, and Auto Ultimate taking up the rear. I knew going in that the Auto Ultimate would likely finish grow cycle last. Happy day, everybody.

Sam OG x Forum Stomper at 38 days. Stank! Surprisingly, the DP Auto Ultimate is the runt of the litter. The Mango Smile seems fragile compared to the others and is really not developing much of an odor.

Hello there. Here I am at day 48. 2 of 3 are doing great and one is showing signs of recovery after a lockout/ flush. The Meph Sam OG x Forum Stomper is starting to ramp up her glorious odors. Holy pungent LOVE. The Mango smile is just loaded with budding sites. And the DP Auto Ultimate is starting to re-green from the inside out.

This 2nd grow has been so much different than my first in coco. I likened that experience to boot camp or perhaps being tied to some kind of machine that you had to attend to 3x a day everyday (still a lot easier than kids). At any rate thelearning continues and I am having a ton of fun.

Here we are at 58 days... a week after lockout and flush on both of the Mephisto gals. I hope to pack on some weight over the next month (plants, not me. I'm good).

Each of the three plants has her own very distinct scent now and I can't tell you how happy I am about that. The Sam Stomper just bangs you over the head. The MS is quite a bit more subtle. Delicate. The Auto Ultimate reminds me of the stuff I used to get in Gainesville back in the day. All in all I've been extremely pleased with my first soil run. Not sure I will use the Ocean Forest again but I can't really say it made my life more difficult compared to the daily bootcamp that was coco. Still....the bud growth of the plants in coco was explosive. I'm not sure what I'll do next except challenge myself with a garage closet grow next in Montana fall into winter. THAT should be a nice puzzle. ♡

65 days today. The Auto Ultimate is suddenly now just buds buds buds. Very compact and dense. The Mango Smile really does smell like mangoes, and the Sam Stomper continues to stank the place up and then some!

The Auto Ultimate!

Sam OG in the front and Mango Smile in the back. Thanks for looking
