Mephisto Genetics Strawberry Nuggets x Livers Bx1

Day 7
Lights are up to 18.5/5.5
SL600 @ 100%, 20” above the photos (about 24” above SNL)
Day: 80-82 F, 70% RH
Night: 70 F, 65-68% RH

The baby pot (reused nursery pot, pretty much a Solo cup grow) Strawberry Nuggets x Livers (SNL for shits n giggles) is going strong and a day ahead of her photo tent mates. Weird little burn that’s been on the first leaf, keeping a hand (cotyledon) on her hip. She’s a funny lil thang

Day 14
A lot going on in this little tent right now.
Lighting is ramped up to 20.5/3.5 (on/off)
SL600 @ 100%, 24” above the photos…going to be swapping the Bloomspect SL600 for the SS1000. Added in 1 T5HO 6500K bulb, and the Far Red / Deep Red pucks…they’re at 5 minutes before/after lights on (10 min total) and same at lights off.
Day: 80-82 F, 70% RH
Night: 71 F, 65-68% RH

Been learning this coco + perlite only medium, I took “can’t overwater to heart” and was watering too frequently…think i’ve adapted now. She got her first Bud Buster Pro foliar spray right after the last update, and has also gotten her weekly silica boost, bi-monthly humic acid, half strength MaxiGro, kelp (BioRoot), CALiMAGic, and some sugars (half dose Bud Candy). Kelp and sugars mostly for the microbes, rest for the plant. She’s really hitting her stride now though I think!

Day 21 (really taken more towards D22 so pic labels are accurate)
Passed the “solstice” (ramped from 18/6 at sprout to 20.5/3.5 over the first three weeks) and ramping down towards 12/12 for the photoperiods while lowering the light as the days get shorter. Currently at 19/5 with the Bloomspect SS1000 22” above, added in the second T5HO Sunblaster 6500K bulb for vertical supplemental lighting.

Still adjusting to my first coco/perlite only grow, hit a Cal and likely N deficiency from a couple water only feeds…was looking a little beat up. She got a full dose of MaxiGro and CalMag and has responded well overnight…getting darker color in the leafs already but ugly spots showing. She’s getting a weekly silica feed, then the base nutes (MaxiGro + CalMag) next feed, and CalMag + BioRoot (and sometimes low dose Bud Candy) in between…rinse and repeat but add in humic acid every other week and Bud Buster Pro foliar every 8 days and methinks things are going in the right directions. Feeding smaller volumes multiple times a day helps with the small pot sizes.

Started some LST to get some side branches popping

Making me post before the weekly update she is, and yup can say officially a “she” at Day 25


Sorry for my wack ass attempt at saying Strawberry x Livers in Spanish LOL!

Missed an update with the Turkey holiday, but here we go.

Day 35
Strawberry Nuggets x Livers Bx1 (Mephisto Genetics)
Lights are down to 12/12 for the photoperiods which started about 8 days after SNL showed sex. Far and deep red booster pucks going 15/15 before and after lights on and off. PureUV 30-60 minutes at midday.

She got a Bud Buster Pro spray about 7 days after sex and will get one more per the instructions at 14 days, then no more foliar applications. Still rotating Silica Boost, MaxiGro, and CalMag + BioRoot feeds, with some CalMag only (some water only but rarely) feeds in between to avoid overfeeding. Gave a “transitioning” dose of AN Nirvana, BigBud, and BudCandy to help with the flip/stretch phase.

Pruned down to three branches to focus flower development

Here she is tucked up front with her photoperiod siblings, getting crowded in this tiny tent!

Missed the last update from Turkey day, missed this last one due to laziness

Day 42
Lights are still 12/12 for the photoperiod. One of my feminized photos turned out to be a dude so that was culled and opened space for SNL. She was a little worse for wear after being tucked against the tent corner with the two photoperiods, since taking these pics she’s doing better.

Increased far and deep red pucks to 15/30 minutes before lights on and 30/15 minutes after lights off. Swapped one 6500K T5HO for an AgroMax 3500K Bloom bulb, will swap the other 6500K out at two weeks post-flip (this auto is on the photo’s schedule). I run a PureUV bulb 1 hour at midday. At Day 46 swapped out the Bloomspect SS1000 for the HLG rSpec100 for flowering.

Next weekly update in a couple days, which means i’ll likely update after the New Year LOL! Thanks for stopping by AFN growmies!

Not too far off, LOL

Day 49
This little girl has been a trooper…now that the photoperiod is in flower this one is getting back on track with more appropriate nutes.

Propped SNL up on a 1 L plastic pot to get better light exposure.

And just in time for the holidays a gift from @stan_mephisto and team! Secret Santa bundle with Skywalker x Creme de la Chem and (FTMFW) Toof Decay x Walter White

Pics from Day 56 (really Day 57 for SNL as she sprouted one day before the photoperiods)

HLG rSpec 100 about 16” above, two 3500K Bloom T5HO in opposing corners running 12/12 light cycle.

 

[JaxsoNL5]

Not much to update, slowly going into the final stretch. She’s finally getting all the bloom nutes needed…way late in the game but she’s done pretty well considering she just gets fed what the photoperiod is getting.

Day 64

Smallest bud of the three branches (pic with flash)

Day 70
Hairs are mostly orange-brown, trichs are mostly cloudy with little to no amber. She’s likely slower having been on 12/12 for flowering. Her frostiness is increasing too, not a snow queen but not lacking either. Nose is too subtle for me to catch anything in particular.

Day 77 (really she’s a day ahead of the photos so D78 pics)
Thinking chop day is coming within the next week or so, most cloudy trichomes with minimal clear and minor ambering. I took her off the inverted plastic pot to lower light intensity the final week. Feeding CALiMAGic ice cubes and refrigerated spring water.

Worst grow yet overall, this girl has been a trooper considering her feed schedule was about two weeks behind what I would’ve given an auto and sub-optimal environment (light schedule and RH at certain stages). Meph will get a proper run next cycle
