Completed Lilly_of_the_Zoo does Creme De La Chem from Mephisto Genetics

UPDATE: she's a beauty! Almost done, so I'm posting once more before harvest day
She ended up being smaller than the last one i grew, but it was all my fault. I kept her in too small of a pot for how hard i feed them. It's so easy to stunt an auto, even just for a day or two it hurts your size and yield. thats why most dont repot. I should have in this case, though. 2 gallons is NOT enough for a Creme. It needs @ LEAST 3. does better in 5.


this is started a little late, but it is a 22 day old autoflower, Creme de la Chem from Mephisto Genetics. I try to keep this strain around in my stash box, right now. I just cut one down 2-3 days ago, and this one's going strong. I sure hope she looks like the one I just cut down, Hands down the MOST COLORFUL plant I've grown from Mephisto. I will make sure to post photos soon as I get them edited in here, so you can see what is coming with her. She packs thick, wet from resin feeling buds about the size of a golf ball, all the way down to the central stalk, and almost to the dirt if you let her. In the gallery are 3 photos from my summer Creme, She was not as colored as the one from the other day, but still an amazing plant.
I will post the special photos as soon as I have them edited. You can see how large this plant is, though. Almost as tall as I am. I decided to do a side by side, of the two colas.
the first one is on the left. the one i'm taking down tomorrow is on the right. Yes, I said i'm taking her tomorrow. She's at the end. I will do a harvest page, with a finished pile.

this is a duplicate posting. I have several plants on the same feed right now. they are all within a couple of days of each other, so they will switch together. Chemdogging, and my breeding program are also getting this

First 4 weeks Feed Schedule

Week 1
Cali-Magic cal-mag, Roots Trinity, and Recharge @ 1/2 strength
lots of H2O

Week 2
Sensi Grow @ 1/4-1/3 strength, B-52 @ 2/3 strength
Cal mag, Trinity, and recharge @ 2/3 strength

Week 3
Sensi Grow @ 1/2 sterngth
cal mag, trinity, recharge, and B-52 @ 2/3 strength

between 18-21 days, I start giving them Armor-si, which is a silica.

Week 4

Sensi Grow @ 2/3 strength, B-52 as well. cal mag, trinity and recharge are at full strength at this point.

So I have a bunch of 30 day old girls today. Here are some new photos of the Creme. She's getting so big. I tied them over, a little LST. Last time i doubled my yield on them with just that little bit of training. I started giving all of them some Prime from Heavy 16, and they will get it one more time, probably, before I switch them over to bloom. I also upgraded everything to the Connoisseur Sensi today, too.

this is what they looked like when I started the journal, I just had a moment where my camera's sensor decided it wasn't going to do what I told it to, and everything was orange. I had to mess with it for a while just to get something visible out of it. You can see how bushy she was at the start. She's shot up pretty fast over the past 5-6 days. crazy fast plant. fastest chem yet, really.

So she's going strong, a little bit taller than her chemdogging sister. She got a dose of pollen today on one of her side branches, from the male in my breeding project. I want some of these genetics. She's probably my second favorite of Mephisto's strains. Though the chemdogging has longer, more conjoined buds, I think they mature better when they are given room to themselves to fill out. the Creme has round, golfball sized nugglets that go all the way up the central stalk, and even the larfiness isn't larfy. She's switched over now to Sensi Connoisseur, and gotten her dose of Heavy 16's Prime.
I've been doing some LST, staking bamboo poles in a ring around the edge of the pot, and just tying branches loosely to the side. I've gotten MUCH larger yields from autoflowers doing that. You end up with several main colas instead of just the one. I've noticed with Mephisto that they seem to most all have a cantral cola that reaches well above the rest, and a nice ring of side stalks that all reach to a level that makes it look sort of like the rings of saturn around the planetary biggest bud.

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.

So this creme hasnt gotten as big as the last one. I should have paid more attention, but i was feeding as though it was in a larger pot, even thought it was only a 2 gal, and it outgrew her space before i realized and could slow down the feed a little bit. Now she's a tad bit stunted, but it doesn't seem to be affecting her trich production. LOOK at those flowers! (yeah the full view is a little wonky. Bear with me! I'll have a new camera in 2-3 wks.

So she's been in fush since about 2 days after I posted her last. Sorry i got a little sloppy with the weeklys, but i have 16 contact hrs for school, so I am pretty proud of myself for keeping up with so many different journals at once.
She's a quite a bit smaller than the last Creme, but as I've said several times in the blog, THATS MY FAULT. I know what i did. If i had her in a 5 gal, or even a 3 gal, she would be as large as the last one, maybe even bigger, because of the upgrade in nutrient quality ive done recently. YES I can certainly tell the difference between the regular advanced and the conni. Worth it, totally all the way around better.
Here are some photos of the Creme. So you can see her structure. It was very similar to the larger one i grew, and i truly do believe i would have a 5 ft tall plant had i not overfed her just a tad. Her metabolism was just so on point that it didnt hurt her much. I noticed within a day or two that she wasn't doing quite right, and slowed her down a bit. This is the final result.
Keep in mind, she has two pollinated branches on her as well, so she had to take part of her bud energy and focus it on those seeds! GIANT seeds. all over the place. both branches. She got some of my purple auto father, and some of the green one. I cant wait to see what the babies look like.

So here are the harvest photos of the Creme. She came down at the same time as all the others (Chem, my breeders, AYP)
I ended up w/ just a bit over 3.5 oz., including larf for edibles. Not a bad haul for a 3 gal pot. thats over an ounce a gallon. I wish I'd have put her in a 5 gallon. the chems get HUGE when you give them the space. I really love the sensi I upgraded to. EVERYTHING is bigger, and has more trich coverage. Not just the ones under the quantum boards.
will post trim photos as soon as I have them processed, I'll add them to this last page.
