Mephisto Genetics Tyrone Special K.I.S.S grow journal

Assuming they ship to US? Or is there something similar here? Thanks!!

Next round it will be using Aptus Base Boost. Similar but in pellet form for premixing in. Available in the US, but I bet Biotabs will deliver.

Btw, nice harvest homie! I guess FIM'n did good? Any other reason for the difference in yield?

I think you nailed it. FIMing wins for yield.
The Smaller seedling was FIMed, average cola weighed 5 grams more.
The biggest seedling was Topped, stunted, lower average yield per cola.

I still need to compare the highs, how much abuse can my adrenal glands take?

I was inspecting my Tyrone Special nuggets. They are drying to a beautiful, sparkly green:

thus I rejoiced, and did a little happy dance...

Until I found this turd in the punch bowl: (camera flash used, and colors tweaked to highlight the problem)

I know that looks like a subtle brown shade in the photo, but it is a glaring problem compared to the other buds.
Probably grey mold starting, because I stupidly let the sticky nuggets clump together in the paper bags.
I snipped off the problems areas......

Just kidding!!
I flushed this turd and felt relieved. Yield is over 3 ounces, why try to save one contaminated nugget. I did use a high CRI flashlight (torch for you pommies) to inspect every nugget. All the rest are pristine.

Another lesson learned... separate the nuggets for airflow, make sure the paper bag has air flow all around the outside, and don't jiggle the bag because Mephisto nuggets will stick together.

Hello Hubbabubba this grow was great once again you rock!

How many days did You hang dry prior to bagging ?

I usually hang dry (dry trim) for 7-10 days with a 40-50% RH with indirect airflow and then bag / jar them with Boveda 62%. From there, its burping once a day the first week circa and from there I gradually extend the days until next burp. When the consistency then is throughout, I start the curing.

Thanks, they are getting 5-7 days depending on how many buds are in the bag.
Then into jars with Boveda 62%, same as you. I found some purple Mason Jars, maybe extra protection from light?

My Mephisto stash is color coded. LOL

Thanks Corgy,
I do have a HEPA air filter in the room and it is suppose to be catching spores and sanitizing too...
Apparently air leaks in bringing fresh mold spores. That is ok, if I dry my buds properly... no mold.
