Hey everyone
This will be my second growlog on the AFN and the first one to complete. As many others I kept seeing that Mephisto name pop up everywhere on this forum. I read the story behind the company, saw Mitch answer forum questions, read about the genetics and how the company does it's thing. I'm impressed by the love to what those guys do and how they do it. I like that. I like that a lot
I wrote Mitch some time ago asking some questions on a sunday afternoon. Half an hour later or something like that I had a reply. Decisions were made and ordered. Order received 4 days later and could have been a day earlier. The post office located somewhere in the mountains was closed Monday so the beans were shipped Tuesday and received Thursday loaded with extra stuff. What's not to like?
Well, here I am a couple of months later and I can finally get these things going. I had a couple of photoperiods that had to finish first and they have, almost. One of them keeps going and going far beyond expected. That ended up with me having a germinated DBC and nowhere to put it. It went under 12/12 for the first 17 days and is now doing 20/4 for the past 3 days along with a sister who has her day 1 today. This log will contain 2 Deep Blue C's from sprout to harvest in 2 different soils.
The setup:
Light:
Vipar 450W/5W LED running 20/4
Growmedium:
1 10l Airpot with Biobizz Lightmix added 6 tablespoons of gardening lime and 1½ tablespoon of Epsom Salt
1 10l Airpot with an unknown premixed soil added 6 tablespoons of gardening lime and 1½ tablespoon Epsom Salt
Nutrients:
Biobizz Grow
Biobizz Bloom
Advanced Nutrients Overdrive (not sure if I will use this yet)
Nothing more, nothing less
From now on the 2 little ones will be named DBC#1 and DBC#2
DBC#1 is the oldest one in unknown premixed soil and I have no clue what's in it and how much. One thing I do know, is that it's an ok soil. I have used it before with great results with photoperiods. She has had tapwater for her first 15 days and had her first feed with 1ml/l Biobizz grow 4 days ago. It seems like she liked it along with 20/4 lightperiod instead of 12/12. She started to grow a lot faster. Today she is 10cm.
DBC#2 showed her head today. She is in the Biobizz lightmix and will be having tapwater for her first 10 days or so. Time will tell.
Both germinated by going 24 hours in a glass of water and directly in to the soil. DBC#1 was up within 2 days and DBC#2 spent 3 days in the soil before she showed herself. She is so tiny, but I'm sure she will catch up in no time.
I will update this thread at least once a week or if something interesting happens. I hope I didn't forget anything. If so, please tell me
Best of luck to everyone and their grows, including me, myself and I
