Mephisto Genetics Mephisto Goodness Inside...

Thank you sir. The power of the cob is amazing, I'm hooked on the efficient white light. Are your Chem Bubblies under your cobs?

Yes sir, all my girls live under diy cobs.

Very nice. There is a couple pheno's of the chem bubblies, one is a bit shorter with big fat nugs. I still have some purple raining down but it gets drowned out with all the white light. They'll be collecting dust sooner than later hopefully, planning another light build or three.

Yep you got the diy bug.

In my initial post I forgot to mention that I'm trying dolomite lime to see if I can get away from using so much cal/mag.

I've been using a heaping tablespoon per gal and doing as the directions say, just mixing it in the top 3 inches of the soil.

I've also been starting all my plants in solo cups and transplanting the cup when I'm ready. I cut two windows in the side and a circle out of the bottom and plant. I cut a couple before planting the seed and just placed it in another cup to hold the soil in, that seems to work best.

Grow on...

Mephisto's under the Amare's

Smaller of the two hubb's she has a bit to much N.

Funky looking new growth

The bigger lady, with her head cut off... oopss

Here's her top, looks better than the other, I'll be holding off on Grow nutrients for a couple days.

Skywalkers

Menage a Tyrone, a bit to much N for her as well but she'll be fine. I'll just give them big bloom for 2-3 days then a light feed of Grow. My solo cup challenge (regular auto's) are the three solo's top left, one in a clear cup to watch it's roots.

Grow on..

I'm Subbed!! I've been adding some extra lime to my mix and also some Epsom salts for my mag issues. I saw an improvement on my last grow and on the one I'm on now I upped the Epsom salts-about 3 tbs per 3 gal equiv air pot. I also upped the dose of organic cal mag in my watering's. I only grow organic now but I seem to be gaining on the cal/mag issues. My next grow will be my diy cob. Best of luck with yours Pipes

Interesting, I have yet to try Epsom salts to help with the cal/mag issues under the cobs. They obviously require more of it under these efficient lights. Do you have a journal?

Awesome bud! Great pics, details and plants

I have a bunch of journals on here over the years but none probably since mid 2016. I haven't grown under cob's yet. That will be my next grow but I have been using led's for some time. Most of my issues have been mag related. On my last grow I only grew 2 plants and the first time that I have recently added Epsom salts to the mix. The larger of the 2 did express some mag issues while the smaller one didn't. So one my current grow which has just been started a few weeks ago I upped the epsom salts in the mix.Don't know what will happen yet. Time will tell. All my plants are looking good tho. Pipes

I hope you have it dialed in and grow some monsters! I know for certain that our ladies need more of it under the cobs then under 5 watt led's, you may have to up your mix even more under your new light. Almost every plant I've grown under them has shown some signs of deficiency until recently. I followed @BigSm0 lead and have been pouring the botanicare cal mag to them nearly every feed, 1-2 tsp gal, plants are looking better.
