Here is my second attempt at 3 bears OG, from mephisto. I'll tell you, the second looked EXACTLY like the first. smells the same too. Very consistent.
Shes got such thick, WIDE buds... Here I left a couple of comments from the start of the journal.
Hopefully she will be more of the same. She sure looks like she will be. I LOVE Mephisto for their stability. always know what to expect. and I've not once been disappointed. .. Heck, I'm hard pressed to think if ive ever even had one of their seeds fail, yet... maybe one, but it was probably my fault.
my goodness is she beautiful. got that structure i love. short, compact, and throws out branches on branches, all full of bud down to the main stem. She doesnt look too impressive yet, but just wait. she fills out like crazy. I call her 'meatwad'

35 days last night
my goodness this plant moves like no other! It folds itself up at night, curling in tightly. Check out this photo I went in and took about an hour after lights out.
I know, she looks a little uncomfortable, but it's almost as if she gets cold. As soon as the lights come on, she uncurls, and let me tell you, those leaves are GINORMOUS!
It already has water leaves doubled the size of my hand. I'll go in there tonight at lights on and take a photo of these leaves for you. They look like i chopped them off of one of my mothers, and glued it to the stalk to take a photo, but it belongs to the 3 bears. shes going to be a giant of a plant. I got over 1/4 lb off the last one, im going for over 1/2 this time. Shes in a 5 gal air pruning pot, and is getting the same feed schedule as my chems, and my breeders.

pollination day update
So i pollinated her today along with all of my other females. She's such a strong strain, it's hard not to. She's in a 5 gal pot, because the last one was in a 3 gal, and gave me about 7.5 ounces. I'm hoping to get more, with the bigger pot. I also switched her to Sensi Connoisseur, and she's moved over to the bloom now. She got some heavy 16 Prime, and just today i gave her some of the pollen from one of my breeder project males.
Her leaves are almost twice the size of my hand, and shes only at about 65-75cmI know the photo is blurry, but my camera is on the fritz right now, and i can't really get a new one yet. Thinking about selling photos to try and get a better one

General Autoflower Feeding Schedule (complete)
This seemed easier to me, than just posting a little bit here, a little bit there. Better to get the entire schedule on one page, that way anyone wanting to check it out, or copy it down, doesnt have to sift through all the different pages to try and put it together. Any anomalies I will put on the page it's happening on. Otherwise you can just assume that my girls are getting the normal posted schedule, on time, and are having no troubles. this is not an exact guide. this is what i do with all of my own plants., because everyone has their own rhythmn, and their plants will as well. This is only general guidelines for what to do, and when. Our environments are not exactly alike, so our plants will not eat exactly alike, even if they are the same strain.
in the first 1-10 days:
lite (1/8-1/4 strength)
cal mag (any variety) trinity (roots organics) (both together.w/recharge as well.)
and mycos (I use growers recharge) once btween days 1-5
if it needs feeding twice within those first 5 days, I use just 1/4 strength cal-mag in plain RO water, to moisten the soil
I get them a good fresh H2O feed in there within the 10 days as well.
around days 7-8, I start adding in a light Sensi G feed (grow nutrients @ 1/8-1/4 strength), and on off days, a cal-mag / H2O feed in between them, until days 14-15.
If they are still doing well, I start giving cal-mag at full strength.
between days 14-18ish, I will give them a single feeding of silica (2ml/gal) and sensizyme(full st.),
and then IMMEDIATELY after that, they will get a full strength cal mag/trinity/recharge feed
between days 14-21 increase Sensi Grow to 8ml /gal (2ml / ltr). I continue on at these strengths, using Sensi Grow...
until days 30-40 (depending on the plant) I begin the switch week to Sensi Bloom, and start giving them Bud Candy as well. continuing to alternate nutrient feeds with the cal mag/h20 feeds.
At days 40-50, I start adding in Big Bud with the rest of the nutrients. Continue to alternate with CM/h2o.
around day 45-ish, start using some b-52 in there with the cal mag/h2o feeding.
days 50-55ish, start using Overdrive instead of Big Bud in there with the base nutrients.
Depending on strain, start reducing/stopping your base nutrients between days 60-70.
If still going beyond that, a couple of weeks, use Overdrive and Sensizyme 1-2x/wk, with Trinity in there @ 1/2 - 2/3 strength on off feed days.
Last week-10 days, I flush.
I use Sensi for most of the nutrients.
Trinity comes from roots organics, recharge comes from (edit name)
any questions just post them in the discussion, FEED SCHEDULE capitalized somewhere in there so I can catch it easier, and I'll answer it as soon as I see it.

photo update
I just wanted to get some photos up of her. she is on the same sensi connoisseur bloom as my chems. Getting HUGE. Iove this structure. looks short but shes so SOLID, and the busa are so thick, that its as if the entire plant is nothing but buds with some leaves glued on. I impregnated her as well, with that purple male. I want as wide of a genetic pool as I can to mix in with my breeding project.
getting close!
This plant is getting so oily! it's got that same stature for the 3 bears i like. the last one grew just like this, and it was a monster! Looked normal, till i started cutting leaves off, and realized there was just a thin skin of foliage over a mass of flowers. I CANT WAIT. She will start flushing before too long.
Almost there! starts flush next wk maybe
She's somethin else, ill tell ya. short, stocky, and thick. Wet feeling, almost. And it seems to have some PM weakness more than the chem, or the creme. I had to do a serious defoliation just a few days ago, and that is when i got these photos. I'm a little miffed about it, but what can I do? I just keep maintenance spraying with Green Cleaner.She should start her flush next week. Just being fed bloom, pretty much at this point. And her cm/trinity feed as well. Here's some photos:
..............
Flushing, coming down soon!
So I took a good look at her after I posted that last update, and decided I should just go ahead and start to take her anyways. Shes been flushing for a bit, and I'm going to take her this weekend. I've got seeds falling off of the pollinated branches when i move her, and the seeded branches have just DEVOURED their leaves, lookin all crinkly and brown, I've had to trim them off to protect against pm. Check her out though! Her buds are so wide, I can barely spread my fingers far enough to get a bud between them!
She didn't get very tall, though. Without the pot, she wouldn't even be as tall as a 5 gal. bucket. So I put one next to her for a litle perspective. She's got as much bud on her as some of the biggest i've grown. MORE than some, even! Meatwad was a good name fore her! Even the smaller satellites have fat-ass buds on them. Her top even started to color a little, which is unusual for a 3 bears-at least the ones ive grown. I wish i had more, but i believe the one in pot now is my last one (a BABY, not this one)
HERE is the top- GORGEOUS - STINKY- Smells like nailpolish and hairspray, with some armpit thrown in there. STRONG scent.

AND..... shes GONE!
So that was a fun grow. I cut her down the other day, and hunted through for some seeds. I've got about 150 so far, spaced out between the green and the purple auto father from my F1s.
Other than that, she ended up with about 6 hangers ( est. 4.5oz give or take an 1/8). as a height reference, I left the bamboo support in there. The stick is 2 ft long. So yes she was very short. Had more bud on her than ive gotten from plants twice her size, from other breeders.
She was smaller than the other one, but her leaves were HUGE, larger than my hand even though she didnt pass 3 ft. Really she was more like 2ft. Short, stocky, and THICK buds. We called her meatwad. One of the thickest growth of any of my autos. LOVE me some Mephisto!
Pretty coloration, almost exactly the same structure as ALL of the other ones i have grown. She's so beautiful. Same buds, same leaves, same structure, same colors. MAN, she is one stable lady. Sorry about the poor quality photos. My camera sensor went bad on me, and the darn thing just will not focus correctly, nor will it even stay on the same settings while i take photos. I got a new one today, but i had to take these photos with what i had on hand at the moment. Hope you can still tell how awesome she is.
I got to smoke a joint, even though it is not cured, just dry (enough) I wanted to taste it, and BOY, is it one of the most resinous plants ive ever smoked. By the time im 1/4 of the way down a joint, its got gooey black resin coming out the end of of it. DEFINITELY a bowl bud.
