Update:
Upon reviewing my notes. I realized something that kinda baffles me. I recently started seeds directly in the final pots, these mephisto seeds were the first ones. They were the smallest yielding plants I have had in awhile. Looking at the root structures they weren't developed like my usual either.
I normally start an auto in a solo cup for about 4-7 days with the first 2-3 covered with a dome. The upper growth just starts to pick up and I transplant. The roots usually are just starting to circle the bottom. By the end of the day or within a few hours they are perky if not bigger. This way has produced some very nice sized flowers with most plants averaging 60 grams dry in 3 gal. The root structures are full and have even gone through the bottom on several occasions.
This will be the only way I do it for now on. I guess the experiment failed and I failed to remember that.
The wife and I made some custom sized fabric pots from the 3 gal containers I have. We cut out the bottom and sewed two together. So it theoretically should hold 6 gallons. It is 15" tall by 10.5" wide and should make a good sized plant.
I started another Skylar White earlier, she will be the first to go in the new sized container along with a Himalaya Orange Diesel. They also get the fresh batch of super soil that is now ready.
3 Bears OG x Walter White day 64 She got about 5 cups of water earlier. She has just a few days left before she gets chopped. Deep OG smell with slight orange citrus after note.
Super Freak (supernatural OG) day 38 She is moving right along. She is squat (13") but there is lots of flowers sites. An interesting bright citrus scent is coming through.
This next week is supposed to be really nice so these girls will prob spend the day outside and come back in at night. Enjoy the benefits of the natural sun.
Enjoy guys.
