Mephisto Genetics Trap's Sour Stomper - Artisanal Series

[Discretepete2676]

Looking great trap and @mephisto! I ordered some of these so I'm pretty excited to see what every one's gets off them and thinks of them overall! Blc had a lot of sites and the haze is pretty huge too. Dang u have a great garden man!

Thanks, D-Pete

I don't grow the biggest plants but they are almost always healthy...and that's all that matters to me.
Pretty, trich-covered nuggets....Hence Mephisto.

Looking good! Not trying to derail your thread at all but How far do you keep your LEDs from the plants? I only ask because mine are a lot closer and I swear it's causing issues with the plants and bleaching my leaves. I've tried every nutrient and soil and always end up with the same yellowish leaves so I no its not deficiency at this point. It sort of ends up looking like a slight nitrogen deficiency but it only hits the leaves in direct light. The only constant in my grow room is my LEDs and I believe they are causing distress by being to close. Back when I grew with CFLs I would never have any deficiencies and ever since I've started with leds a year ago every single plant turns out with the same issue.

No problem, I.am....

I've never bleached and I've had them as close as 4 or 5 inches....so might be a spectrum or power difference.

What I experience is shorter, bushier plants if I use too much light or have them too close.

Over the winter I needed every light on (4X LED and 3X CFL) just to keep temps up AND I was keeping the
lights about 18"-20" above the canopy. I think that kept the plants short. So this time I raised them up
to about 26"-28" inches and just set my mind to allow them to "grow up to the lights" w/o moving the lights
much (which I haven't)

All in an attempt to get a little more height.

As it gets warmer here in Colorado, I'm going to go "Veg-Only" on my main LED fixture and see if I can prove
my theory a little further and improve height even more.

Are you using enough CalMag? I know LEDs increase CaMg usage and uptake dramatically.

Last little thread Jack and I'll make a thread myself soon!

Day 24 from sprout now, and the innards have grown enough over the last few days to do a quick tuck job on the sour stomper girlies.

Our lighting's been on 20/4 but I might bump them on to 24/0 to get some more growth out of them until they reach final size.

In height currently, shortest to tallest in our room it's going 3Bog, sour stomper, skywalker, grape crinkle.

all were put in to germinate at the same time, but the sour stompers were the last to pop and sprout, by a day.

Cheers all, and thanks trapper especially.

What is this 'theory' you speak of?
