Mephisto Genetics The End is Near...for Forgotten Cookies, Double Grape & Deep Blue C

[ThaPollinator!]

Hey there!! Take a look at this guide for your outdoor autos https://www.autoflower.org/threads/maximizing-outdoor-autos-guide-to-growing-under-the-sun.56402/

Hey!! Glad to read it again. Went through this one and couple others in that sub-forum earlier this year. Probably not in enough time before I sealed the fate of a few of my early girls.

I should be more clear though. By outdoors I mean I've been growing in and out of a greenhouse. Sort of......It's legal where I am but there's a stipulation that they need to be "out of public view" so they live in the greenhouse but it gets too hot in there so I modified it.

I did actually have some success with about 1/3 of what I planted first go 'round but the struggle with environment resulted in a loss of 2 and stunted a few early on. Yup! I kinda had a feeling I was putting "the cart before the horse" when I started them in my greenhouse. I had no idea how much temperature would fluctuate in there under polycarbonate panels! Yikes!!

I basically went to a Home Depot and grabbed some shade netting from garden center and box or two of binder clips from office store and replaced the panels. When its cooler I peel the top back. When its hotter, they get a little shade. And instead of starting them in the greenhouse, I vegged them all out for at least 3 weeks in my tent before bringing them "outdoors".

The girls in there currently are pretty happy. I have a mix now too. Started some photos periods next to my new Mephisto girls and everybody is getting along just fine! They are much taller than my ladies in the tent and I think I have enough time to still get a really nice harvest off them. The temps here stay above 50f(10c) at night all the way up to late October/early November. It stays pretty dry here till late fall/early winter and rain shouldn't be a problem with the green house once the panels are up. I'll get a dehumidifier if necessary. I even have them all a couple feet above the ground off the cold concrete in a drip tray so there's air flow all around the root-ball in fabric pots. I think my fall harvest may actually turn out to be pretty decent but never can learn enough.

Thanks man!

Makes sense as you run 24/0 inside. Most Autoflower breeders recommend at least 18 hours of direct light to maximize perfornance and get to harvest quickly. I think SODK is a longer running plant and Strawberry Nugs (green pheno) went more than 70 days in my 24/0 set up. My purple pheno went 67. You may want to look at the strain guides and pick the quickest ones. Still faster the the photoperiods by far.

I mostly went for medium to large strains since I felt I had the room when I grew under the sun. Strawberry nuggets just sort of happened. The Mephisto autos I have out there now look to be 2-3 weeks behind my girls in the tent that were born within a day or two of the FC, DG & DBC from above. I mean in flower development. They are all 2-3 times taller and the stems are much fatter.

I have some photos going next to those too. Didn't start em till end of June so they wouldn't outgrow my net/greenhouse.

I really love my new hobby/med production! :smoking:

Nice looking ladies. Keep up the good growing

I'm surprised at how quickly these girls are finishing up. Started to see a lot of orange hairs so checked the trichs - yup. These two are about there. Now for 48hrs of dark before the chop! Still waiting for FC.....mmmm cookies

Deep Blue C - day 60

Double Grape - day 60

So impressed by the quality of genetics. Now if I can just get the weight! Haha!

Thanks! Sorry for the SUUUPER slow response guys. I'm getting seriously slammed at work lately and barely enough time to even look after my garden. It's had a devastating effect on my tent ladies in the garage and I'm basically quitting in there for the season due to the cold.

I've been smoking on all the strains I cut down last month and loving it! The forgotten cookies is the best of them though! Deep blue C is definitely no slouch. I have another FC that just came out of my greenhouse and she was just as frosty and smells great! I let her go 90 days, as well as a white crack, ATV special, bubbly livers and a strawberry nuggets. The AVT is super pungent! Can't wait to sample her. They all plumped up nicely although I had to fight some pest issues along the way. All are down and drying in my 2x3x5 tent.....

The garage gets way too cold in winter so my 3x3 is down. I've seen how well seabass has been doing with his small tent, so I'm downsizing and throwing a Timber Grow lights 2VL in this tent for the winter. No more lil' girls if I can help it! If it goes well, I may add another in the 3x3 when spring hits.

Thanks again AFN! :smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking::smoking:

beautiful bud bro. Great growing. I love 2x4s. A simple, easily accessible size, 2 plant machine. A 2vl will be perfect in your 2x3. Keep smashing it

Much appreciated sir! Keep inspiring others to do the same! Never would've thought about going smaller but thanks for showing us whats up!

Thats tent of hanging buds looks mighty fine. Some good meds there. Interested in your thoughts about AvT special and White Crack as well as Deep Blue C.
