I'm getting close the finish line on my 1st Mephisto run! Super hyped about it. Just to review.. The AVT and White Crack were topped around day 17. The Beary White and Tyrone Special were left to grow out their natural structure. I did want to test the vigor of one, so after the last update I supercropped the main cola of the Beary White. She had a perfectly even canopy for more thsn a week. Now the buds have grown and the main cola is on its way back upright!. I started my version of flushing the AVT and White Crack. I flushed them based on ppms not by number of gallons of water. I got the ppms on all of them down to about 500. It took running about 2-3 gals through each of them to get it down to 500..
The feeds/waterings from this point on will be under 500. It my own silly logic. But.. On to the pics..

AVT: Day 60

Day 72!!

AVT: Slowly but surely! She is looking like an 80-85er. Smells GREAT!!

White Crack: Day 71
She almost got the axe a few nights ago... Instead, she got her last meal and a 7 day pardon!

Beary White: 61 Days..
All I know is that based of the smell alone, I HAVE to have 3 Bears OG in my life! She's starting to frost up pretty heavy andI like the look of her flowersm. Very unique!

Tyrone Special: Day 56
My little runt. Totally my fault! I thought the fabric pot was a one gallon.. It was a two.. So it only got a gallon of soil.. My favorite plant to look at for sure! Its a color show. Im gonna run a few of this micro style since this accident turned out ok!

Nicely done Proph. I'm a bit late but I've grown a few Beary Whites. Warning, have plenty of extra gloves handy. She's a sticky one!

Question, why would you flush like that? I really think that's killing quite a bit of yield potential. You starved them just when the weight was coming. Do your thing...just curious.

Yooo.. Your BW was the reason I ordered the strain. Your journals were the 1st I found on AFN so I bit your style pretty hard for awhile! Hahaaa! And great question! I wish I had a great answer, but I dooonnnttt!! I guess we can call it trial and error (Kanye Shrug).. I've been going back and forth for about a month on whether or not to flush at all.. So when the time came, I was still undecided and kind of rode the middle ground I guess. I REALLY want to have a focused dialog on the subject because I honestly dont KNOW what I'm doing yet.. Lol.. I'll try to explain my thinking behind it in a nutshell..

(Hypothetical scenario)
Sooo.. In full flower lets say normal feeds are in the 1100ppm range and so is the run off.. I do a "10 day" flush with just water.. Flushing gets rid of all stuff stored in the soil so regular flush would flush out all the extra nutes, built up salts ect.. Then its straight water till harvest. To me that didnt make sense.. I thought to myself why flush out all the good stuff you worked so hard to put in there..

The flip side would be no flush at all.. Continuing full feeds up to harvest.. That didnt make much sense to me either. Lol.. In my mind there has to be a way that affects taste or end product..

So I kind of played middle ground. I wasn't comfortable doing a full flush and wasn't comfortable doing full feeds till harvest. What I would really like to know is what impact the ppms of run off actually has.
For instance. Lets say feeds are 800 ppm.. And so is the run off.. This doesnt tell us how or how much the plant is feeding. The runoff ppm will stay about the same as the feed. Why am I even looking at this number? I'm not sure how or when it correlates.

But after playing around in my head lately, what actually makes sense to me today (probably not tomorrow though) is to keep feeds to around 800 ppms max going in and feed with water only or Herculean Harvest ect for the last 10 days.. But not flush.. And no watching ppms of run off.. Feeding has beem my Lex Luther.. Thats part of the reason I went to organic soil and super soil amendments. Lol..

Thank you! Some awesome smelling phenos!

I just started 4 White Cracks, I see you are taking yours pretty long. I have not seen too many threads on it, what's your opinion so far? Good work I will be watching
