Mephisto Genetics The On-going Mephisto farm thread!

Thanks dude appreciated. Everything can get a bit overwhelming sometimes, but just a day away can make a big difference.
When it's just a couple of hours away as well it seems silly not to. It's going to be a busy summer here too!

All this time and I completely missed this thread. Get ready for a huge like bomb.

Damn, you're so right. You've got me looking up ski lift prices at the local mountain now!

You should! life's too short, these last two years have gone in a blink!

You guys definitely deserve a little R&R. Glad to hear you took some! Plus, a little rest and time away can be just what the doctor ordered to help you charge full speed back into what you needed to get done!

Wasn't quite sure where to put this photo!, Here we have an Auto Blues, just starting to reverse, i'll get some close-up's as they develop further

Beautiful lady there, but what do you mean by "reverse"? Also since your plants have variable foilage coloration is judging when to harvest based on trichome condition or vegetation? Thank you for any information you can provide.

Reverse i.e she's a female being treated with a foliar spray to reverse her sex, essentially make her grow as a male to the point of being able to get pollen from her for a seedrun.

some of our strains will ripen and it will be obvious they are ready to harvest through overall visual indications, leaf colour, pistils dying off, you just 'know', however others don't lose colour so quickly if they've been well fed during the course of their lives, so in that instance it's always best to look at the trichomes, in several places on the plant. Buds are the best to look at over trichomes on bigger leaves.

I'd always recommend having a scope handy whatever the strain.
cheers

Hey brothers Mephisto! Great work as always. Quick question, and I'm sure you've answered this a hundred times lol, but what are you using for reversal?

(my STS is working but it burns the hell out of them, and I have a feeling I'm not getting good pollen this trial. Thinking about going back to Tiresias Mist despite the price.)

 

[mephisto]

Yes we're using STS, we also use a much stronger level than the old guidelines I read stated. Some fans will burn and crisp, but they seem to take it in their stride and grow out looking good still.

I would also say they get no more than 5 treatments.

Sometimes it has killed some plants, but we always reverse more plants than needed, To give you an idea for every 5 plants we treat, one maybe two at most are used to donate pollen
