Mephisto Genetics Raoul-Duke turns Meph Head - New Artisinals

[Raoul Duke]

Day 19

Growth still seems slow but they look healthy. They got 500ml, 560ppm at 6.0ph on day 16 and they just got another 700ml, 610ppm at 5.8ph.

Here's some pics.

Day 23, still chugging along. They got a litre each of 800 ppms at 6.0ph. Ppms were a little higher than I wanted but no big deal. I could have added water but I was lazy.

Looking good they will take of soon . Are you applying lst or ponytailing yet. It helps with the branching on the lower nodes.

Thanks. I've been doing some light leaf tucking only. It's probably a good idea to start pony tailing. We'll see if I feel up to it.

Do you have bugs or are over watering? Those are crazy small for their age. No offense, something doesn't seen right. Low temps? I hope they take off soon.good luck.

No bugs seen yet. They've never gotten droopy so I think I can cross off over watering. For their first day above soil they were in darkness for roughly 16 hours and the temps were between 18C and 20C so that may have stunted them a bit. Their environment now is pretty good. Started without the extractor on and just a oscillating fan; temps were between 24C and 28C with the humidity between 55 and 65. After about a week I kicked on the extractor and temps are now between 22 and 26 and humidity is between 35 and 45. Lights are 24/0 to battle the cold.

To be honest though, most of my plants have started off similarly small, so there may be something going on with my setup.

Thanks for checking in. I hope they take off soon too. Checked on em this morning and they were looking super happy and had some nice outward growth and a little upward growth too.

Cheers

Whats your medium? Nutes?

Promix BX with about 20-30% added growstones in 3 gal pots.

(All Botanicare)
Pure Blend Grow
Pure Blend Bloom Soil
Silica Blast
Liquid karma
Calmag
Hydrogard
Hydroplex

And some GH Rapid Start until bloom

I have seen people using Promix with root aphids. Check your medium for bugs. Not saying that's what's wrong, but My solution...ditch the Promix next grow. Go buy some Char Coir Coco and thank me later.

I have had fungus gnats with coco in autopots with airdomes. As in larvae and adults flying around. I was thinking of switching to HP mix next more because coco and PH gave me issues first time, but now I think I have a handle on PH and coco and will stick with it and learn to perfect it more. I don't want to keep switching mediums after one grow and not learn to work with something for a while.

And I think I have a handle on the bugs. Going to blend in crushed up mosquito dunks in to my coco right from the start of each potting along with calmag etc. Or maybe use DE instead.
