Mephisto Genetics 6 Sour Cracks in 1/2 pots of Coco, fed by drip stakes. Under 110 Watts of Cobs

I think your on to something great here man. The yield is good for an auto too nevermind autos in 1/2 gallon pots. 1.5 is absolutely amazing. As you mentioned I'm sure it's all flower too and not big wet stems. Lots of talk about 1.5 but you rarely see it.
Thanks Big. My whole vision when starting Autos was to rock smaller plants with less waste. It took me a while to figure out how to keep them ideal size. I am confident this method will be very successful. If done right, with the right strains you will yield better GPW vs monsters. And no big wet stems here Big. Very little effort to grow or trim.
 
Looks good! My sour cracks are gonna be absolute midgets

Btw, I haven't done anything but put some nute water in the Rez and open the tent. I will be making more water in a day or so. I would say making 3gal jug of nutes will last me 4+ days. I prefer to mix my nutes in 3 gal jugs, a 5gal jug would last 6-7 days. This is so easy and maintenance free.

Crazy!! I mustve stunted the absolute fuck out of mine, judging from the lack of responses here as well as in comparison to yours man. Looking good!
Yes your looks stunted. FWIW, I had a Sour Bubble Photo plant for over 12 years from BOG himself. It is a finicky strain. Stunts very easily for various reasons, minor stress drastically effected that plant. I swear, I literally just gave up on my Sour Bubble Photo plant a few weeks ago. I had it for 12+ years, and I am getting better yields with Autos vs it. Although if done right, Sour Bubble yielded well and is potent. Makes killer wax, very flavorful and strong. Anyways, I can tell that the middle left Sour Crack will be significantly smaller. You must understand that you may have gotten a small pheno or sensitive pheno from seed. There will be variations between my 6 Sour Cracks, already shows. Try another seed. May I ask what medium and feed you use?

Thank you man, some killer info right there! First things first however, and that's IMPRESSIVE that you had a photo going for 12 years! Well done man.

In regards to the stunting, thank you for that knowledge as well. I use coco coir for a medium (recycled medium from previous grows) and feed very simply, using general organics bio thrive and bio bloom if I remember correctly (the veggie / flowering nutrients) as well as root booster and floralicious from GH as well. Root booster I use the first few weeks of life, as I transplant them from super small pots to the ones that they're in now. The current size of those pots is unknown, I usually use a 15 gallon one and these ones are a little smaller as that closet is growing the smaller strains (grape crinkle, sour livers, sour crack, a sky Walker and a 3bog). I germinated my final two sour cracks and will plant them directly in the final pot size once they pop for comparison man. Thinking the more auto sog plants shouldn't be transplanted at all. Thanks again for the great info, I'll def keep you posted man!

Hey cool, do your other strains do well with that feed? 15gal of Coco? Thats about 14 1/2 gal more Coco per plant than each one of these are in!!! You are wasting a ton of Coco and plants in Coco prefer frequent watering. Your roots Probably are super thin in there from staying too wet IMO.
BTW, I have more photo strains that are even older!! I can never get rid of the one, people love my pheno so much. Yields very well, purples up, and STANKS!
