Mephisto Genetics Week 8 of my lockdown grow

[wez1218]

Hi,
sorry about rubbish camera phone pics,
Samsquanch og front left, cosmic queen front right, mango smile back left Ripleys og back right, all week 8 apart from mango smile that’s a week behind, had a no show with the first seed so I’m glad Mephisto send out two seeds when you buy 1!

Grown in plant magic soil in twenty litre pots (about 5 gallon I think), with 2 bio tabs per pot and then fed with bio bloom and a bit of fish mix here and there from week 5. In a 4x4 tent under a 600w hps, no training just left to do there thing.

My last grow I used tap water and ran into all sorts of problems with deficiency’s, no matter what I did ( increase the feed or flush them)the plants got worse and worse, so this grow I’ve bought bottled water from Tesco which has a ph of 6.2 and they look so much happier. I must have crappy tap water and despite what people say I think ph does matter in soil.

Here’s a pick of the plants at 2-3 weeks

Thanks, every one stay safe

Very much so Wez, although it offers a buffer it is also harder to react to.
Fair play to leave them to it, but not even considering a topping? Yield booster for sure.
Looking fab for their age.
Good luck.

Did you ever test your tap water

Hi,

Never tested my tap water, should do really, but as the plants seemed to be doing well I just carried on with it, here’s a pic of a plant from my last grow using tap water( not sure if you can tell from the picture but from about week 5 I was getting all these brown spots and marks on most of the leaves)

I have topped a plant before once or twice but only if one plant was outgrowing all the others, I don’t really have much time to spend on the plants, otherwise I would love to get stuck in to some training, likewise and like to try air/fabric pots but think they would need watering a lot more.

Here’s an update pic, getting quite a lot of yellowing and fan leaves dying off but I’m not too worried at this stage

Thanks for looking in
