Ok guys, going to let the Sour hound thread die off unless it keeps action. I have too much going on with the threads comparing the QB's and the AutoCob's on two forums, and the grow itself, etc.

I have wanted to get my hands on some Skywalker from @mephisto for a long time, since I began growing more than a year ago to be honest. Just something about it, but it was always out of stock. Well not too long ago I got some mites on some plants I was already unhappy with so I chopped them and would have had an empty run in my perpetual waiting on my cuts to veg out large enough to take cuts to grow and keep mothers etc.

So one night like tonight that I couldn't sleep I was messing around online and visited the Mephisto website and what do you know the Skywalker was in stock. I just had to have it, but had to make a decision that hurt because funds are tight right now with illness. I sacrificed the purchase I was going to make for the drop tomorrow to get my skywalkers.

So anyways I germinated (6) seeds in cups of water then the paper towel like @mephisto does in their sticky. So far three have popped up and the plan for this run was (3) Skywalker's per 3x3, under QB in one and AutoCob in the other. Tonight I moved the first three seedlings into #3's of Tupur and put them under the QB and adjusted the height to 32", I will go down according to plants reaction as it grows and stretches etc. New strain to me so I don't want to push it and burn them starting too close, or risk stunting them. I will be running Ionic, Ful-Power, and Hydroplex this grow along with either epsom salt or the Calmag product from Nectar for the gods trying both out to see. This is my first time in coco in awhile, and my first time Running Tupur. I feel my transition from HID to LED has gone well and wanted to see what I could do in coco with nutes vs my usual no till organic as I love it but feel it's better suited for outdoor grows and is a lot of work for me and makes for a dirtier grow regardless of how clean you are. But I still have my veggies going no till outdoors not to worry guys lol.

Well enough rambling here's a few pics, waiting on the other three SW's to pop and I hope they do or I will have to get creative for filling the other tent lol........

Come join the madness! :frog:

Hi mate. Subbed. Looking forward to seeing this grow as I've got a QB on the way. What size is that QB you're using, also at what power do you run it on at different stages? I'm moving over from blurple units so eager to get some knowledge on them before they arrive. Do you have any threads documenting their results yet?

Sorry for all the questions.
 
I have a thread in th autocob section comparing them to the QB. This is part of that grow. But this being mephisto specific I'm putting this part of the grow here. My other sour hound grow turned into a thread about everything and I just felt it was time for a new thread for these girls so they would not get lost.

The flower tent is a 320 watt test light with two boards and a mean well 320 driver. I have it dimmed down to 250 watts as it was too much for me the 3x3 on full blast. This light is 3K. I have another 260 watt kit in 4K that I got in recently in the 2x4 veg closet. I don't change power for different phases myself. If the genetics can't handle my lighting I move on to something else. There should be links in my signature to my other threads. You can see how my first run under both lights was going there.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I've got a 260w kit coming in 3500k. Should I ju st run it as it comes out the box in a 3x3 do you think?it will be run for the entirety of the grow? Will it be enough for that space do you think. Also is 260w if it is being run at full power? It seems to be 2 of the 135w boards?

My 3K in the 3x3 is a test light at 320 but I had to turn it down to 250 watts as it was burning my plants and stunting growth on full power. My 3x3 is over sized too almost 4x4 so I think you will be fine with the 260 watt kit as is.

Cheers, it's hard to get definitive answers at the moment about these boards with them being so new.
 
Good Luck on your Skywalkers

I just harvested an outdoor one today due to mold .... sticky motherfuxxer :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers :pass:

I'm so stoked but it doesn't look like the other three beans are going to sprout which sucks because I only bought a pack of 7 lol. So I need to see what to germinate now to start and mix up between the two tents. I've never had issues with mephisto beans not popping until my last two orders, I know 100% is not guaranteed but when half your pack of fem beans don't pop and they're not cheap it blows. Last time was my chemdogging beans that didn't pop except for 1 out of 6 which sucked but they were freebies so whatever...........

Yours looks fantastic great job. :d5:
