Ok sooooo this has me wondering now.... are these beans that you’ve gotten in the past year??? I can’t help but feel that perhaps things are a little off the mark right now with my current grow as well. I’m on day 37 with a bunch of double grape and only a few have them have started to flower so far... that plus light sensitivity I’ve never seen before from Mephisto.. I’m curious if things might have been done with a short cut or two this past while when they had to uproot and start over... Thoughts on the subject???Lol... yeah it is one pot (airpot) and one plant. An absolute beast. My poor tent is only 1.2w x 0.6d a 1.8h metres in dimension! She has grown above the light and is easily a metre wide. She has been super cropped 4 times.
This Toof Decay did no start flowering to day 50 (95 days since sprout) - and as a result, I have this monster!!!!
She is on the Buddha's Tree range at about 0.7EC @ 6.0 pH.
She is under 265W of QB at 3500k and 40W of Deep Red at 6600nm.
She is automatically fed once per hour for 5 seconds. The reservoirs are heated and aerated. The medium is coco / perlite.
I’m with you on Sour Crack... I’ve been 59-63 days on past runs. I’m hopeful that will still be the case. I totally expect a slowdown/delay with topping and other more severe training, but really surprised with what I’m seeing regarding sensitivity to light and delay in flowering. I got light stress with my HLG 550 v1 knockoff dialed down to 50%and over 3 1/2 feet between my panel and plants... never ever seen that before... been running this panel for almost a year and a half...I grow pretty much exclusively Mephisto Genetics. Have done for ~ 3 years.
My Sour Cracks (8th now) turn around at about 61 days. So not too bad.
24 Carrot was a bit behind ~ 80 days, but flowered promptly enough.
I got a 3BOG x BW as a freebie and it is a phenomenal strain and high yielding.
The second you top them or start heavy LST, I have noticed they slow right down.
I don't touch any of the Sour Crack lineage. Not even leaf tucking really.
Toof Decay I topped but that is now a rarity. No further training.
I have this theory that shading or some pheromone is released so other plants in the tent slow down.
Due to the sheer size of Toof Decay, 4 AM and an Orange Bud in front are ~ 35 days and only just showing preflower.

Well after reading a smoke report on a recently finished Double Grape, I’m more inclined and confident that was/is the case. All my plants are otherwise healthy but I just couldn’t believe the plants reaction to the light... very sensitive I tell you! He also noticed his DG was super sensitive in veg- said it went away well into flower, also took their time to get to flowering...As you can see my TD, she is less than 4" ..... obviously far from ideal......!!
Perhaps not light sensitivity is the issue but something else?
