The buds look great and have some weight to them. I shook the plants today and they overpowered my phresh filter. They smell amazing. Some of the best smelling bud i have grown. Even through my mistakes the plants performed really well and I can't wait to sample the finished bud.
HBSS [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] was not in the picture. It was in the tent. she looks good and is twice as big as the biggest plant pictured above. She is going to make me proud. I am guessing 200 grams dry from 4 plants. Not a great amount considering im running 1000 watt. But like I said, I made some mistakes. Well next grow will be much better. I bought the right nutrients and equipment. Now its time to do a proper 1000 watt grow.

That's going to be a nice haul GMAW. Alot of buddage and nice chunky buddage. They could maybe go a little longer, I'm not seeing any orange hairs, but a trich exam would tell you more, whether they are cloudy or clear. Don't be down about them, at this stage it they need to start dying. I might be one, of the few, but I like them. You've brought them along. I need to slap you with some rep.

These Mephisto girls are pretty tough too. I've abused a few and they never seem to disappoint.

Thanks for the support @Margahooja

Its nice to hear positive encouragement. I was feeling down about the mistakes.

No orange hairs at all so another 2 weeks you think? that will put me at about 76 days.

That's probably about right on the mark. You got plenty of bud there, no need to be down. You'll get dialed in. My soil mix plant wasn't much of a looker, but it's good.

200g dry will be a nice harvest. great job getting them to the end gmaw. will you be continuing here? post the link if ya start a new thread.

Thanks @Dudeski

I will start a new thread I believe. 200 grams is not bad but not great from 1000 watt.

I get 200g from 250 HPS.
Each grow you learn something new. Keep going.

@KonopCh

I am only guessing 200 grams. I hope its more. 1000 watt grow light with 2 inline fans and oscillating fans I am close to 1300 watts x 24 hours a day x 7 days a week x 70+ days. That is not cheap and that kind of power consumption can draw attention. 200 grams is not worth the cost of electricity or attention from the power company. If my next grow goes like this one I will be completely done growing indoors.

Next grow is 6 white crack in the 5x5 tent under 1000 watt. My goal is 0.5 gram/watt. 500 grams.

So today I decided it was a good day to get my shit together for the next grow.

So I pulled out the bluelab combo meter and got after it!

Starting water EC was 0.2 and PH was 8.1

Then I used SuperNatural Bloom Terra at half strength. Its PH adjusting. PH was adjusted to 6.9 and EC was 1.9 to almost 2.0!!

Now at Full strength SuperNatural bloom Terra my PH came down to 6.5 -6.6 and EC was 3.2!!

What I learned......using full strength nutrients as directed for the PH buffering will burn up your plants. Using half dose is still high and you have to PH adjust down from 7.0 to 6.5. If you use an even lower dose you will have to adjust from 7.5 down to 6.5. So my conclusion. PH buffering nutrients lose all purpose when you have to PH adjust them anyway.

Tomorrow I will mix up a fresh mix of bloom terra and PH test the mix every 12 hours to see how long the water stays buffered at 6.5. I think within a day I will start having PH drift.

Since my soil is pre fertilized I will not add fertilizer until week 4. from week 1 to 4 I will use cal/mag, silica, kelp and humic acid then PH adjusted to 6.5.

Stand by and tomorrow I will have more information.
