I'm gonna go ahead and call this day 1. So far all the ladies have germinated and seem to be doing ok for now. I know my vpd is not ideal at this point, I have been spraying them with water a few times today though.

I currently have the sp3000 set up and one of the sf1000 lights set up over the second large pot.


Here are the manbearalienpig.

Toofless alien pic is go big and won't let me post but they look just the others here.



Fingers crossed that things go well and the ffof soil doesn't cause any problems.

Day 4: The rotation begins!

Day 4:

Not to much to report. Have just been spritzing the seedlings like twice a day because humidity is low for then.

Today I have started suggestion of rotating the pots a quarter turn twice a day. Hopefully in the end this will help increase overall yield.

Also so far no signs of problems using the ffof. I hope it stays that way. I'm glad I made a small hole in center of pot and filled it with regular organic soil to plant the seeds in.


In the back large pots we have toofless alien. Next row closer are manbearalienpig. And finally closest to the camera we have gold glue.

Day 8: multi mephesto strain grow

Just thought I would give a little update.

So far things seem to be going well. I haven't seen any issues of burn yet which others have complained about using FFOF soil. So these guys are strong or mixing in regular organic soil helped.

They're growing up but I noticed something really weird with one of the toofless alien plants. I think it had a mind of its own lol! Basically I was rotating pots in place twice a day but I stopped till they get bigger. One of the plants is LSTing itself! It is growing with the main stalk bent. If I rotate plant it will lean in new direction to keep it in place it was. I don't see any issues so I'm not changing light intensity but I think that might be it. She is already pretty stretched and I hope to not let her get to high to fast!
L
Anyways here are update pics!

Tooflessalien:
The plant on left is the one that is LSTing itself.

Day 13 Mephisto multi strain grow

Day 13:

Not to much to report. Things are still going well. I've still been rotating pots a quarter turn twice a day and since I've had trouble keeping up humidity where I want it I've been spraying the plants with water a couple times a day as well. Plants seem to be thriving pretty well.

Today I tried to FIM one of the toofless aliens and topped the other. Both at the 4th node. The rest of the plants aren't ready for this.



Some of the leaves look droopy but that's because I had already sprayed them with some water and the weight makes it droop.

The one on left had FIM and one on right was topped.

Day 15 Mephisto multi strain grow

Things are moving along. Looks like some of the clawing might be getting a little worse, probably to much nitrogen. Despite that they are growing well.

Today all plants are showing sex. One of the toofless aliens was topped a couple days ago and one was FIMed. Today I just tried to FIM the rest so we'll see what happens.

I've still been rotating the plants a quarter turn twice a day. Today I'm going to stop with the spraying of water on plants multiple times a day.

From the back to front you have toofless alien, then manbearalienpig, and finally closest to us is gold glue.

Day 18 Mephisto multi strain grow

Not much to share other then pictures! The toofless aliens are thriving. The manbearalienpig leaves are little droopy. Think I over watered those. The gold glue is doing good. By looks I expect toofless alien to start flowering soon.

Still so surprised how fast they are growing.

Day 21 Mephisto multi strain grow

Some of the girls are starting to flower! Man they grow up fast.

So I just got ph pen yesterday. Turns out my water PH is about 8. So today I'm going to get ph down. Despite that though they seem to be doing great.

I did a little LST on back left and middle left plants other day. Things are moving along and I'm still rotating pots twice a day for more even light.

As a reminder the two big pots in back are toofless alien, middle ones are manbearalienpig and ones up front are gold glue.

Day 25 Mephisto multi strain grow

Not sure what's going on with the manbearalienpig plants in middle. There leaves seem to be droopy a lot regardless of how much or little I'm watering it seems.

The rest seem to be doing ok. Probably going to top dress tonight or tomorrow. Starting to see some yellowing of lower leaves on the toofless alien plants.

Other then that still just watering only, last water was first watering with corrected PH.

Day 29 Mephisto multi strain grow

They are chugging along, yea I think they were just hungry. Just surprised I noticed they were getting to much Nitrogen then all of a sudden they needed more when it switched to flower.

They seem to be doing ok now. I'm not used to seeing this much progress on buds this early on so I'm hopeful for some decent yields.

Day 36 Mephisto multi strain grow

Things are trucking along for 36 days. The toofless aliens seem like they need nutrients around week 3. Same with manbearalienpig but that strain seems to be the thirstiest of the 3 strains and the gold glue doesn't really need nutrients and likes to stay on smaller side.

Day 40 Mephisto multi strain grow

Thought I'd update. Fed them again today, they are hungry and even the gold glues are starting to show signs of hunger.

They are still chugging along and I'm still so surprised with how big buds are this early on. Glad I have more seeds of them!

Still rotating pots quarter turn twice a day.

Day 50 Mephisto multi strain grow

Well having some problems that I'll be ready for next time. Thats what growing is all about, learning for next time.

Middle plant on left (manbearalienpig) is to big for it's britches. Branches need support and the main cola broke from it's weight. Hoping couple weeks and I'll be harvesting some of these ladies.

Day 57 Mephisto multi strain grow

Things are still chugging along. I think we're getting close. I'm seeing mostly cloudy with some amber and clear trichomes on all plants at this time. Thinking of letting go until Thursday and evaluating. If I'm happy will do lights out for 48 hrs and cut Saturday.

Here are some pics of the gold glues that were easiest to get to and take pictures of.

Day 61 Mephisto multi strain grow

So these girls are starting to get way to stinky and my 6" ac infinity fan and carbon filter aren't enough to keep up. Checked trichs today and they are mostly cloudy with some amber and some clear.

I'm going to end up harvesting them maybe a touch early but I'm ok with that. That way it gives me a great Christmas gift LOL. I already smoked some of the manbearalienpig when top colas broke off the other week and if was pretty good so I expect it to be good now. I'm also right about the times the breeder had for harvest window as well and they did go into flower earlier then I expected. I'm expecting 8 zips total easy and hoping / thinking maybe closer to 10 or 11 but I won't know for sure. I do know the part I harvested early was 5 grams dry which was a lot more then I was expecting it to be so I'm hopeful for the overall yield of this harvest.

So plan is to probably turn off lights tomorrow night after they go off for night time and harvest Saturday and do a wet trim then hang them all up to dry.

Some general notes about these strains are that the gold glue plants are smaller but super easy to grow and don't need much. The Toofless aliens were middle of road as far as needs and inline with my other grows. The manbearalienpig though needs lots of water and nutes, little more sensitive then the others and needs support for branches because the buds aren't able to be supported by the plant itself.

Here are the ladies:

Day 64 Mephisto multi strain grow

This entry is for yesterday. So I harvested the man bear alien pigs and got them trimmed up and drying now. Will probably dry for at least 7 days.

The stems seemed like they had a lot of moisture content and maybe that's why they couldn't support there own weight with the buds?

After trimming I ended up with 300 grams wet so I'm hoping for about 3 ounces between the two plants. Trimming was tedious so I'm glad I didn't harvest the other plants. I'm going to give them another week or two.

Here are the remaining plants of toofless alien in bigger pots and gold glue in the smaller ones.

PXL_20201213_004106618.MP.jpg


Here is pic of the two plants all trimmed up ready to be hung with mighty vape in pic for size reference. Also previously cut off top two buds because the branch broke and those yielded 5 grams dry.

Day 71 Mephisto multi strain grow

Things have happened lol. So last Thursday I pulled the manbearalienpig plants and put in darkness for 48 hours. They were pretty close to being done, they branches weren't in great shape and didn't want to risk losing anything. Total wet weight was 300 grams and dry I ended up with 2.79 ounces total.

The gold glues seemed done so 2 days ago I put them in darkness and harvested today. Wet weight is 210 grams for both plants so I hope to get 1.5 to 2 ounces total for them.

Probably going to harvest toofless aliens next weekend. Checked on them today and time branches bent over lol. Next grow I'll be ready with more support.

Anyways some pics of gold glue before harvest.

After I get PH down I'm going to have to check each plant really close to make sure none hermied from high PH water. That must be why I had Hermie last grow. I guess the other genetics I grew were better since they never hermied with the water I was using.
 
Did you find them to be nutrient sensitive? Every Mephisto plant that Ive grown did not like heavy or moderate feedings.

I'm new to the nute game but it took a few waterings with nutes in a row to halt the leaves from dieing. The gold glue though seems to not need a lot.
