New Grower Mephisto SODK in M3 Michigan made super soil

[Lasky]

Day 30 today.

Plant is 15 inches tall and began flowering about a week ago.

One thing I have noticed about this M3 soil is that it holds water for a long time. Even though it is really light and fluffy it gets compacted and I’ve only been watering it once every 6 days or so. Growth has not been what I was hoping for, last time I grew this strain in amended Ocean Forrest the plant was at 20 inches by day 30.

I didn’t do any low stress training except for some leaf tucking because I wanted it to get a little bit bigger first, it stayed really short untill recently and has been growing about an inch a day for a few days now. There are a bunch of side branches just hard to see from this picture. I also untucked my leafs last night to let it stretch out a little lol

I was thinking of doing a light defoliation to open her up a little. But like I said I’m new to autos and don’t want to stunt her in anyway because she is already shorter then I was hoping for.

Lasky. Its been a while since you posted on this. Curious how you like m3. I was gunna start my first grow with it. I was gunna do m3 bottom half then mother natures cocopeat on the top in fear that the m3 would be to hot for seedlings. Any words?
