Mephisto Genetics White Crack + Sour Livers SIP LOS Grow

[MrOldBoy]

Well it is obvious why your plants stay so bushy. That seedling has ZERO stretch to her! If you want a little height on a girl, back your light up from day 1. Otherwise, keep doing what you are doing. For day 5, she is compact. I often have my lights too far away at first because I have so much going on. When I take down my 7x7, I will have a dedicated seed/clone/mom tent. I am excited to get my stuff reorganized, things will be set up much better for my needs. Nice work, lets see these girls pack on the weight now MOB! Peace, slow

I even started her in low light, with a shade on top of humidity dome - guess that’s the way I roll.

Looking very nice! The one on the far left looks tough kinda like a dog with its hair standing up on its back or a rattle snake ready to strike!

24k - Hopefully she packs a punch like a rattler!

@slowandeasy - Per your suggestion I raised the tent lights about 6-7 days ago .....

Tent is 28.75 x 53.5 or a little over 10 sq feet - Running is a 180 watt led and 100 watt cob - 280 total watts total which is about 28 watts square foot, actually under but not counting pennies ..... ES 180 light recommended height 18-24 inches and the COB should be 24 inches ..... Both lights are over 36” above canopy - Tent is 80” tall and there isn’t much height left to raise - PAR METER reads 330 under ES180 and 425 under COB ....
Thinking I’m getting about as much stretch as possible unless I change up or remove a light or turn down the ES180 but COB is not adjustable- Not sure what else I can do to get more stretch ..... BTW COB on left is a 55 watt 5000k that is NOT ON.

Yeah, theybare not gonna stretch much more. You want more stretch, lights further away in veg. Those strains are not stretcher either...that matters a ton

One word BUSH haha I will get there if it kills me. I ordered some
BangQiao 3.40 Inch Plastic Square Deep Air Pot Planter Container
Amazon product
Rootmakers in the UK seem to be non existent, even these pots are coming all the way from the good old U.S.A so have cost me quite a lot but I think it will be more than worth it, just a shame I won't be able to use them on my current cycle but that gives me more time to source the correct light.
I was just wondering what you thought of these containers OB as they are the closest to the ones you are using I could find.
Keep up the good work, I really can't wait to see the flowers on your girls.

That would be a no on the those pots for starts - they won’t prune the roots and it will be hard to get transplant out .....

You could start in this pot and what I would do is use a razor knife to slice up the sides and slide the plant out - I would not do a direct plant as advertised as in an indoor planter it would take longer to breakdown than in outdoor garden setting ..... OR Just go with direct plant in final pot from start ....

Appreciate the like - Good Luck!

Thanks for the input OB, I've already ordered them now and half the cost is in import fee's so I guess I'll just have to give them a go while looking for a better alternative. I think they will work better than the standard pots I currently use, time will tell.

@MrOldBoy I recently saw but can't remember where it was posibally reddit someone using the growbox not earthbox and they where airating the resivoir which was giving them crazy growth the roots where in the res and soil.

Wish a bookmarked where I saw it.

Have you tried airating your res before? I think it's easier in the growbox because it has a spout area in the middle of the res where you can see the water levels and that where you fill it from too. This is where the grower was airating from.

If I happen to find it again I will post the link
