Mephisto Genetics Need Help at a Decision how much plants

[slowandeasy]

If you had 5 OB + others in that size tent and there was room for more you need to figure out whats limiting your growth, something isnt quite right I think... Id probably germ 5 ripleys in case one doesnt pop. Unless of course you are keeping them small intentionally by limiting root growth or something.

I agree, I would like to know more about the previous grow. Something does seem off, and a minor change might get him a much better result.

i had them in 14l litre Plastic Pots and was all Bio from BioBizz its was around 40gr premium buds per plant and some popcorn aswell

thanks for all the answers need to do a big harvest out of this because after that run i need to pause the growing for a couple month haha so i need some material

Do you plan on using the same stuff? That is kinda low on the yield, especially for those sized pots. What is your lighting like?

i have to watch over the electricity bill.. its veeeeery expensive so i have 2 450w Fullspectrum LEDS they pull 200W each.. this time i will try another fertilizer maybe we will see

3 Ripleys, grown in ideal conditions, with 200 watts from the wall, will fill up that tent. It is one of Mephisto’s largest strains, and can get heavy, need support. I can’t imagine sticking small plants in between . Not enough light or space.

That is One of the reasons I asked about lights. Autocobs can work to run different levels, but he is doing a Trellis. I would focus on a good nute regimen and even Canopy. Ripley's can get big, and will need support if done right. Good luck

okok i see i need to resheudle my plan haha

Get fabric pots, 3 or 5 gallon size, any brand should work. if you are using cheap chinese LEDs, they are junk, youd be best to ditch them and get a couple quantum boards. Order a free sample of megacrop, it works and is reasonably priced, it might not be enough to get you through a whole grow with that many plants, if you can find a code for the 700g free sample tho it should. I dont know much about that soil but ive seen people have good results using biobiz light, so maybe cut it with some perlite. With LED you need to keep your temps warmer than a lot of people realize, 80-83f is a good target, if temps are dropping a lot when you have lights off, dont turn them off or for as long at least. Ive had good luck adding some osmocote plus into my soil if yours doesnt have any nutes initially, sometimes I add 3-4g / liter. DONT OVER WATER, hard to stress that enough, especially when plants are small, too much water is worse than not enough. You can order decent QBs direct from china and save a few $$, autocobs are good also, but arent cheap, you can build your own fairly easily for about 1/2 what they sell for retail.

Solid Advise, agree 110% except maybe go 5 gal pot but 3 works too, just more room for error except for overwhelming - with right soil mix a 3 gal is tough to overwater, IMO .... good luck.

Thanks for the advises <3

Has anyone done topped a Ripleys before? i think about to top them all
