Mephisto Genetics Diving into the Deep Blue C

[opi8250]

Jep looks like you had the Lights to Close. I have mine always on top of the Room and Adust the Height with simply placing the Pots on something like some books or another Pot. In my Small Box its even not necessary 140cm height and when i gotthe light on top and the babies at the floor they grow normal internodes anything nearer they would end up small and short internodes.

Ah yea... That's pretty much what I figured. Thanks for the info brother!



I'm gonna continue to grow them out and see what happens, hopefully it's not to late. I pulled the lights right up, and bent one girl over just for fun. I'll turn this grow into an experiment.

I just wish I didn't use seeds that I was really excited for... Shoulda held on to these ones until I dialed in my new shit.

Aw well, live and learn I guess... I have many more strains to grow!

Day #15

Upped their feed to:

1.2 ml/l sensi grow
1 ml/l carboload
1.3 ml/l camg+

Also, as I mentioned earlier, i pulled the light up a wee bit to see if I could make em stretch a little. It seems to have worked some. Mind you, Im pretty sure I started counting the days a little early, so their technically a bit younger than ive been saying.... no matter, their taking their nutes well, so ill just roll with it.

Nice plants!

Nice plants!

Thanks bro... I think their pretty cute regardless of their size.

led's will thow you off at first, especially for us ol cfl users. I got so used to keeping the cfl's right on them that I did kinda the same thing. now I start at about 30-32 inch's and if one looks to be stretching too much I raise the plant. I think you'll be fine tho.

I'm having this exact same growth, with my 300w mars hydro with 5w chips, I notice that my node spacing is super super tight, at the point where it is stunting the new growth because the previous leaves are in the way. Lots of nodes and branching on mine but still only about 10cm tall, do you think it's the same problem with me, I have my led to close ? It's about 30cm from the top of my plant at the moment...

Mine was placed pretty much at the same distance, and I have the same problem... So probably

Yea dude, it's weird switching it up... I've totally stepped into a whole different world here. After a day of being up about 24 inches I'm already seeing a difference. It's probably to late to save them completely, but I'm still gonna get to sample some fine buds!

Come my next round, I'll nail that shit!

opi,

Your girls have great color. I agree they are a little small but I'd take that over nute burn or yellow leafs any day! Now just to give you something to compare to my oldest Deep Blue C is in a 1 gallon pot she is 10" tall(254mm). I was a little slow on getting her on nutes at the start though. My other plant which is the same age as your girls is already 10" tall and seems to be starting her stretch. My MarsHydro 300w LED is 19" (48cm) above my plants. I very much agree that LED's cause much tighter internode spacing but I had a plant in my last grow get to 24" tall under the same light height. I also feel that the MarsHyro 300w and it's clones which I believe is what you are using have to much red and not enough blue in it's light spectrum. I have added 3 13 6500K CFL's over the younger Deep Blue C to give her more blue during this early veg stage. It seems to be working.

How are the lower branches on your girls? Both of mine have very long lower branches.

I think your grow and mine are fairly equal along the lines of gear and set ups. I have the Mars300w and you have pretty much the same light. I am in BioBizz Light Mix and your SunShine #4 I think is about the same. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to the rest of your grow.

Ahhh, brother bunz.... Thanks for the kind words!

I hear yah on the not enough blue... That's something I've been thinking about as well. I have a 250watt blue cfl that I've used with great success in the past. I'm thinking about going back to using that. At least for the first few weeks anyways.

The side branches really wernt doing much.. Until I raised the light, then all of a sudden one poped out and damn near matched the main cola in height over night. I'm taking that as a sign that they were definitely way to low. Hopefully I caught it in time for the stretch... There's hope yet!

I hope no one takes my complaining as me being unhappy with the plants... Truth is, I'm very impressed with their health, and I see good things in their future. Tangs feed schedule, and some damn fine genetics can do some impressive things.

Heres the girls on day 28, 24 hours after raising the lights.


Michelle, with her new side branch that appeared over night:

And Brielle, who i bent over with no remorse just to see what would happen... Much like her namesake back in high school...

By the way, your girls are looking ddelicious!!
