Mephisto Genetics White Crack + Sour Livers SIP LOS Grow

[slowandeasy]

24K is completely harvested and now curing ..... Smoke is really good if you don’t wanna get buzzed, otherwise I rate smoke a 2 - sad but true

Disappointing ..... Something didn’t go right, she had large buds but they lacked in firmness, stickiness and smell - smoked smooth enough and probably good for first time smoker but I’ve been out of that classification since Nixon Era, so thanks but no thanks ..... Giving entire batch to friend to make butter or some extract. Oh well, I will try another as one plant does not disqualify her but she won’t be in the next grow, that’s for sure ..... strange too as she was in 40-45% humidity her last month so I’m kinda baffled .....

Buds look good but they are air buds basically - yield was around 60 grams

Now Strawberry Nugs did not disappoint - we have dried to 62% and now comes the cure - this smoke is very sweet tasting and wonderful smell and good buzz - about a 7.5 or so, not knockout but nice and pleasant ..... Thus far 100 grams and more is hanging - expect 135 grams from this girl ....

Hey @MrOldBoy , Im gonna be honest with you brother. I told you multiple times to harvest her earlier than you did. I am confident that part of your Quality issue is actually from taking it too long having done 30+ 24 Carat plants I can tell you,and did tell you, that that plant finishes fast and the Quality deminishes VERY rapidly when you go longer. This coupled with the fact thst 24 Carat is not frosty and is highly Indica, you wont yield a ton. Honestly 24 Carat somehow makes WAY better crosses than it is on its own. I am confident that you woukd enjoy Sour Crack much more than 24 Carat. One Run I did 12 Of the 24 Carats at once. Out of 12 plants there were about 4 that were Nice. But there were 4 that were pretty much a complete waste of time, money and energy. The other 4 were mediocre. I personally have never bought another batch of 24 Carat seeds, because Sour Crack is significantly better IMO. For a fast Indica dom Auto, Sour Crack is hard to beat. I have not found another true 8 week Auto as good as Sour Crack. Of course, its hard to find a true 8 week Auto in general.

Well buddy I think the shop that sold me my 2x4 gorilla tent is gonna retire and sell me his 4x4 tent this week! If he does I’ll be able to run my 2 jr and a full size no problem! Ponied up the $$ and ordered a 50pint Frigidaire dehumidifier so didn’t get the cheap Chinese one this time! It’ll work in 2x4 with 2jr’s or just fine in the bigger tent! Also got notified I made 1st round cuts n getting some unreleased mephisto testers so may run 1 those n 1 rocbudinc of some kind! If he wants reasonable price again futures looking bright if I snag the bigger gorilla tent! :smoking:

Also seems my lil guys are chugging along! Haven’t seen any dead ones at least! Been sprinkling like 1/4 tsp each of kelp n rock dust over their food before I bury it! Is that how I’m supposed to do it and is that more than necessary doing 1/4tsp each?

On the 1 side since knew it wouldn’t go bad is some straw with some sprinkles on it of each! Then other side every 3-4 days I do like carrots, apple slices, cucumbers n banana so far! Don’t leave it too long so I don’t attract other critters! I did take some window screen and gorilla taped it over the holes I drilled for air so no flies or gnats can fly in for a meal!

Please let me know if anything I’m doing wrong or could improve upon so my little buddies are happy n ready to go to work in the earthboxes!
as always amigo!
Oh from what I was reading since I have a roll should I use some window screen over the screen deck in bottom of my ebj’s?? Just curious :smoking:

Looks solid just watch moisture level, newspaper looks dry but newspaper dries quick when in the sir ..... good call on putting food off to side, let them come for it, you can bury food with some dirt as well to help stop gnats - my bin zips tight to keep out, does your have a cover?

Sprinkle of kelp and rock dust also good, grab some neem, alpha and karanaja if you can, small amounts of each - variety is good also don’t forget about clean egg shells crushed ......

Nice move on tent, if all works out and 50 pint will work well too - in 4x4 I would have at least six different fans running with four being oscillating, one in each corner and at least two blowing down across lights and maybe even two more stationary on the floor - if you run two juniors with a couple pots to fill corners or even try three you will fill that tent - look at where white crack is and as a tester who knows how big of plants you’ll get - congrats on the testing duties and some healthy little helpers, they are killer bro, will work wonders making food and air tunnels for your girls, solid move, and I’m finding them at the bottom of the Junior so they work the entire dirt column!

Good luck,
MOB

Sour Crack for sure ...... Sour Livers is looking good too, wonder how she will compare?

Think plant more than harvest time as even the bud we harvested on 2/11 turned out same and 2/11 wasn’t early per scope / wife - plant just wasn’t solid, while NUGS and Goldie have been, especially Goldie but both are solid - 24k was weird out of the gate so could be just generics or maybe too dry where she was but both NUGS and Goldie finished same area .... this gal will go to buddy who’s wife is making tea from leaves right now, so upgrade for her I hope. Peace, MOB

Please dont take this the wrong way, but I have done so many of them that I can tell by the pics and timeline that it went too long. Your wife may have seen a bunch if clear, but could be ambers or most likely DEAD trichomes that she misses. Once plants start to degrade, the trich heads burst and terpenes fade quickly as well. I believe you went over 70 days and that is rather long for a 24 Carat. The open area you had her growing in is one reason why the density is less. If you do 24 Carat agsin tey to harvest sooner, the quality will be higher most likely. Peace, slow

No problem, could be issue, thanks slow.

A little bit of Gold Glue (front) and remainder of NUGS .... Goldie is best of the bunch

 

[MrOldBoy]

White Crack at 7 weeks and Sour Livers day short of 8 weeks - Both seem to be stacking well ..... Removed leaves blocking bud sites and a few others, air flow is excellent..... Temps 77ish, Humidity under 60% and co2 at 825 PPM so not too bad Environment .... Getting some tips curling leading me to believe it excess Nitro but I’m not going to worry about or try to correct at this stage

Looking good @MrOldBoy , Sour Livers is bulking up. How is the density? How do you like your new light? White Crack is praying hard. Hope everything is going we for you. I have my 2 new Roc Bud Inc strains per week Rotation going. 9 weeks, 9 different strains...18 plants. Already have the first 3 pairs going. Transplanting Purple Scoops in 3 days. Today is day 9 on them. The roots are blasting out if the rootmaker. The tops have blown up the past 3 days. They will develope a nicer root system if I let them go a few more days. I transplanted the Magic Cookies on day 9, and they were slightly larger. They did fine with transplant, but I want to wait til day 12 for my Rootmaker transplant time. So Friday I will transplant them and start soaking my G-Roc seeds on Sat. Then Purple Rolex #4 the following Sat. Peace, slow
