Mephisto Genetics DCAT goes stealth

[BayLee420]

Feels like it's been a month since I updated these...sorry to those following along. I hate to say but they look ugly...think I need to work on my feeding a bit but this was my first time running this new cab so it's all a learning experience. I can say the buds are nice and dense so at least I've got that going for me. Have had zero issues with the new set up so this is gonna be very nice in the future once I get feeding figured out.
Hell with what I pulled from my last solo cup maybe I'll do a 12 pack of those and see what happens...that could be fun.

The first two are the SODK X Fantasmo and the last two are the Heisenbergs from the vault grow off in case you weren't sure...all are at day 53 so at least 10 days on the earliest and 20 on the SODK.

What happen? The Solo Cup was a nom in April's BOM/POM and there were no issues with her. Could be a combo of things. Over-watering? Over nutrients? The dead leaves look like an over watering issue or the pH was off. I am the last person to give advise on girl problems so I am just throwing out the most problems new grower's have. Less is more sometimes the "Rule" with autos. They don't need a lot of water. Saturate and then wait till they dry out. I mean DRY out. Then saturate and dry out...repeat. I've used my new moisture meter and have found out that what I think is a dry soil is in fact rather moist. It took my girls a good five days to really have a moist/dry soil. I'd water every third day, by the feel of the container, when in fact the soil had enough moisture to go for two days. After a good dryness the girls seem to be coming around nicely. My issue is not giving them a mag (Epsom Salt) supplement early on. @Margahooja and @Rhyce Saroni add Epsom salt to every watering/feeding. I just never remember until they get the mag issue and then try to stop that nasty yellowing. Doing this for over three years and each grow is a new experience.

My guess is probably water and nutes but I'm not sure. Did the same with these as my sour crack and solo cup so I'm not really sure. I should have paid more attention to the leaves and stuff and backed off but I just kept going.
Next one will be water then dry and repeat but on these I did a little water daily thinking that would be ok - obviously it wasn't.

Yeah I'm bummed they didn't turn out how I wanted but I think I learned a good lesson so the next grow will be a test of my learning skills.
Maybe I'll pick up some Epsom salt today on my way home so I have it - does that cause issues if using cal/mag at the same time @BayLee420? I'd hate to overdo on the mag since I'm using LED's I already add cal/mag...

@BayLee420 I'll make sure I have some spots open to do a grow battle with you in June. If I have to move stuff around in my tents I will. And I have a decent selection of @mephisto seeds so we should be able to find something we can go to war with!!
Hopefully by that time I'll have all my shit together so it'll be a even battle.

I would use the Epsom Salt regularly.

Epsom Salt is very good source mg and sulfur that is essential in the overall growth during the entire growth. Why I cannot remember this simple, easy, cheap method of keeping our girls healthy .

Ok so I just got home and checked the 4 girls..about 40% amber so I'm gonna take them all down. Not gonna be a huge haul but it's better than nothing and I learned a good lesson so that's worth something. Will update later with weights...if I'm not too embarrassed.

What are you going to fill that stealth TV cabinet with next?
Just imagine what this guy's day is going to be like....

Now that's embarrassing!!!

I think I'm going to drop some of the new dinafem CBD strains...gf wants to make some meds with them and see what we get.

Wet weights:
2 SODK X Fantasmo = 90g
2 Heisenbergs = 82g

No record breakers but I'll be able to make some decent oils and stuff with this.

Still better than my first two grows so it's not a complete loss.

The LST grow is a 50-50 deal..Not as big as I thought they'd be..but Mephisto can blast in flower. Two of the girls are lanky as the other two a bit more bushy. Have to see how they explode. They start the fifth week tomorrow. They do smell very sourish when handled now. My point is this may not be a record winner. Keep on keeping on.

Yep I'm disappointed but it isn't the end. I learned a valuable lesson - let the plants tell me what's needed and don't force it. I know this isn't the first screw up nor my last I'm sure.
Have a couple of fast buds going right now that seem to be doing very well so I'll take what I learned here and apply it to them. Just dumped a bucket of pre mixed nutes I had because from now on I'm going to only mix what I need so I don't end up with a full bucket of overly strong feed.
