pollination day update
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.
