Mephisto Genetics New CDN Tester - Nov 2020 - Strain ‘001’

[EarthSciLife]

Day 76!
Finishing up big Betsy in a day or so. Really could not be happier with this one. Big Thanks to Stan & Mephisto for giving this Canuck a chance with these testers!
Short, thick, solid as hell, and starting to lean. The smell is unreal and powerful. I still think its like a fruity funk. Opening the tent is like an aromatherapy candle for stoners. :smoking:
Pretty much all the white pistils have transitioned to amber and brown and curled in. The trichomes are all milky with a few ambers starting. So for me, she’s almost done.

Scope with lots of milky and some ambers starting:

Can we be let in on the secret of ‘001’? Did we guess right with AvT? Be nice to be able to label my jars.

Day 80 - Chop Day for Big Betsy.
Just an awesome grow overall. Strong funky lime citrus smell, rock solid nugs covering each branch. You can see how much it was leaning over from the top heavy weight. Stripped off all the big leaves and will do a dry trim in about a week after hanging. Cannot wait to try it!
Just before chop:

Prechop Cola shot:

About to hang up:

The density and structure was just amazing!
Perfect size, short and thick. Thinking 3oz on this one, but I’ll post the final weight once dry and some nug shots.
Thanks to Stan and Mephisto for the chance to share this with you all and l’m now planning the next, will post a grow journal for them here too.
Happy Growing Mephheads! :smoking:

Day 5 of the hang dry for Big Betsy cut in previous post. Did the first major round of dry trim. Buds are solid, dense, fully frosted. The smell is amazing and strong. Wife made me take a shower when I was done. In about 2 more days I will do a second trim and weigh to post here. Then into Jars! Separated out 9 colas with almost no larf, crazy.
Only have this crappy picture of hanging (note the heat pad is not on, I forgot it was down there):

Day 85 for Little Suzie. She’s now getting close to the chopping block. Actually thickened up a bit more near the end. Same smell profile as Betsy, going to go for some scope shots tonight to gauge time left.

Betsy in Jars! Was a great grow. A little bit less than my 3oz estimate on this one, but overall super happy. Extremely frosty, nice and dense nugs. Smell is still like a really strong funky lime citrusy smell, with maybe some piney type notes creeping in. Cannot wait for this to cure up.

Next up will be finishing Suzie, which looks like about 2ozs. Ambers just starting in her, might chop tonight, will be checking later. Already thinking about the next grow, so if Stan/Mephisto wants to send any more tester seeds, now is the time! lol :smoking:
Seriously though, huge thanks to MG for this opportunity.

I don’t have a great scale, but I assume its close enough.
Pics from today:
The main cola. Although I did LST, I didn’t follow through as much as I should have. Therefore, this one was still noticeably the main stalk.

Closer Up:

All together with the rest after dry and trim:

On the scale:

It’s all in jars now, except for a nice taster/tester for this afternoon. Will post an after cure pic in a few weeks. And of course, will post the updates on Suzie as she finishes up. Happy growing Mephheads!

Chop Day #2 for the testers!
Day 92 overall. Compared to first, not as chunky, but still good size. Guessing 2oz or so once dry.
Pre-cut shot:

In hand:

Now its hang for about 6 days, trim trim trim, and into jars. I will post an update once that happens with a weigh in. All in looks like more than a qp off the two testers, and for my setup, that’s exactly what I was going for this run.
Now planning next seeds to run. Top choices at the moment are Pinot Noir and Skywalker, but I’m not 100% sure yet, so many amazing choices in my Meph collection. I will probably run a grow journal for those too, starting in a week or sooner!
