Mephisto Genetics Seymourbud's Soapbox

[lunarman]

@lunarman , my harvest point for the Sour Crack was very early. I think that had everything to do with it not being good for my insomnia. While it was done in 61 days, mostly cloudy with a couple of ambers, I now believe she would have benefited me more with another 5-7 days or +20% amber. All my buddies love her the way she is, not racy but energetic and talkative after the initial buzz. Next grow of her I will take her a bit longer.

@Padawan1972 , thanks for the rep slap! I am pretty stoked about the Gold Glue if you couldn't already tell. Probably because I ran GG#4 and a couple of strains with GG#4 as a primary parent for a long time. I always loved her as meds, especially TonyGreen's Gorilla Bubble strain. It was GG#4 x BOG's Sour Bubble F3, and it was really good meds. After the initial liftoff, I always felt like it wrapped me up in a warm cozy cocoon, and off to sleep I went. With Gold Glue having similar parents, GG#4 and BOG's Sour Boggle, I am hopeful for a similar type of med only in auto form. We will soon find out if I was correct.

Good to know. Ballpark wise based on your last GG harvest time I can expect to take mine to day 70 or so. Actually I need to decide which of my 10 plants I want to go very amber and which ones I'll harvest less amber. Since GG is 75 indica I think she will be one to let go longer.

@trickydicky ,We are definitely in agreement about the type of meds we enjoy the most.

@Pops , last night I had my first sneak taste of the GWK, a couple of lower buds that I held back from the rest and did a quick dry. I used my Vapcap M and IH and got a huge cloud around 11pm. Last thing I remember until I woke up on the couch with the TV still on at 2:30am. Dragged myself to bed and slept pretty soundly until 6am. And this wasn't even a bud, more like larfy, undercarriage, and under developed bud. Can't imagine what the top buds will be like come Xmas time after a 4 week cure. I can't do 2 hits because I have become a lightweight after all those years away from MJ (threat of random drug testing at work), 1 hit and I am more than good now. But that is a pretty bud!

Good news, just received a package in the mail. Another set of 4 autocobs. These will be for my newly renovated 2nd cab, that will be used for seed projects or overflow. Still need to upgrade the ventilation, then I will be done. This all has to be done by the new year. I have some work to get done in the next few weeks.

Always looking forward aren't you Seymour! Great Trait. Thats how we keep improving, never get complacent.

Have you watched the episode on YouTube of Growers Network - episode about Los Suenos farms outside Pueblo? Largest weed grow in the world. 36 acres. I think I drove past it back in September on the way to Denver. I remember joking with my wife that it would be fantastic if that field was pot, right by I-25 if I am correct.
30,000 lbs last harvest.

Gold Glue got the chop today. Now the flowering cabinet is empty until the new year. And it has one hell of a good year. Got @mephisto, autocobs (@BigSm0), and Greenleaf nutrients to thank for all the bountiful harvests I have had this year. Easy growing of quality meds.

The GG was pure grapey-deliciousness as I was trimming. Rock hard buds, very little ( and I mean almost none) larfy buds. The sugar leaf trim is sparkling with crystally goodness that will be taken care of in due time. I hope y'all didn't miss the bus when Mephisto had the Gold Glue on sale this black Friday at 45% off the regular price. Her yield and aroma at this point sure like it will vault her into my top 5 Mephisto strains grown. If the meds are just as good, could become a Mt. Rushmore strain for me.

Pictures before the chop coming in the next day or so.

I have 2 GGs should be done around 12/18-12/20.

I think you will like them @trickydicky , they were a joy to grow. Didn't fuss about driving them hard with nutes, had a time or two they went extra time with no water and didn't blink. Best of all, a joy to trim with very little fan leaves or sugar leaves that needing trimming. Pure grapey goodness during the chop. Didn't notice the grape aroma during flower, but boy was she fragrant during chop. I was getting more fruit, or ripe/rotten fruit during flowering, never a sign of the grapey goodness.

She yielded very nicely as well. 332 grams wet for a small plant, so she should be right around 3 zip dry weight! Buds are/were rock hard. Maybe less then 8 grams of wispy lower buds. Most everything was harvestable. First plant that I have grown, photo or auto, with this little amount of popcorn/wispy buds. She wasn't too tall, maybe 15-16", and I had her splayed open with pipe cleaners most of her flowering life. Couldn't be happier about this grow.

Now, as promised before, pictures from the chop...

Thanks a bunch @MrGoat , I try my best. I still continue to learn each and everyday. But truthfully, my game has increased by multiple levels being here at AFN with all the great growers willing to teach and not preach. I hope someday to pay it forward. Still learning the auto game, and very anxious to get the next session started. 2019 should be a good year! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

I agree my favorite new strain in last 4 years has been gorilla, she is a blast at a good fishing hole.
