Mephisto Genetics Testing some Mephisto...for Mephisto!

[slowandeasy]

Update. Girls are getting large and in charge. Gonna top dress and move them to 4x4. In a day or 2. Have to move a couple plants around. Love this strain! The left one is under 6500k and the Right is under 3500k.

What day are they currently at in these pics? They’re looking amazing!

These are day 38. They are in Earth Box Juniors with Kis Organics Soil Blend with Biochar, Mycos, and African Nightcrawler EWC. I will top dress tonight, with EWC, Build a Bloom top dress compost and Craft Blend mix from Build a Soil. I try to top dress the First time about a week before they start to preflower. I can tell that these are about to preflower, so its time. Then I will top dress in 2 or 3 weeks again. During this time I am using Coconut Flakes in water 1x per week in Flower, its a natural PK booster. These plants are doing really well in these Juniors, size wize they do well. But the Quality is AMAZING! Getting some killer results from the Organic Soil and SIP combo. Its easy to do and I use tap water start to finish. They drink 1/2 to 1 gal per dsy of water.

Thanks for sharing the inner workings! I plan on trying my hand at organics after a few more grows. Wanna build up a bit of a surplus with what I know so far before tackling a whole new grow style that I’m sure will involve A LOT of learning AND mistakes (to learn from of course!) so I’d feel more comfortable trying my hand at this at a time where I’m not concerned about yield... in the meantime I’m paying extra attention to all the organic grows popping up nowadays. Thanks again for all the insights!

Big thanks to @stan_mephisto for the Sour Crack F8 Testers that will be here Monday! I did an online order at Walmart and I am making 2 Mini SIPs for 2 of the seeds. Sour Cracks finish fast and dont get huge. So, I want to try these homemade SIPs and see what happens! I bought some 4 gal Totes and put 1 gal of Water in them, then drilled a hole for overflow at the 1 gal mark. Cut the lid with a Utility Knife after drilling a ton of holes for Air flow. Cut a section out for the feeding tube. Left the middle untouched for now, but will have 2 Wicking pipes in that area. The support pipes will be 2 1/2 inches high...about an inch higher than the overflow hole. The Earthbox Junior Shower caps dont fit, but an Original Earthbox cap would fit. I will use a trashbag. No big deal! So for $6 each I have a couple Mini SIPs almost done already. Just have to cut the PVC and put the supports and feeding tube in. I also started to do a 7.5 gal one...however they are from Home Depot and the lids are much harder to cut. I have to get a saw out. Drilled all of the Air flow holes in the lid, but cant use knife to cut it all the way around like the Walmart ones. Too hard for utility knife.

4 gal Mini SIPs in the makin! Almost done. Will have them ready to rock for Sour Cracks. I will only use these small ones for Sour Cracks. Peace, slow

Well well well, Good News EVERYONE! Big THANKS to @stan_mephisto !!! As promised my man Stan dropped some F8 Sour Crack teaters in the mail and they arrived today safe and sound. I am going to crank up my black tote to 85F and dropping 2 Sour Crack F8 seeds today! I absolutely LOVE Sour Crack. I have been grown over 80 Sour Cracks by myself over the years, she is the reason I started growing Mephisto. I grabbed 50 Sour Cracks and 30 of the 24 Carats before i had my total hip replacement and did a ton of Autopots. Sour Crack did better than 24 Carat and it is really hard to beat the speed of either of those 2 strains. I personally have never had any other Auto strain finish at 56 days, besides Sour Crack and 24 Carat. I like the taste, smells, and looks of Sour Crack better than 24 Carat and it can yield more as well IMO. Looking forward to these. Going in those homemade 4gal SIPs with Kis Organics soil. So, without more delay...Im going to drop 2 seeds now! Thanks again stan, mitch, and the rest of the Mephisto crew. Peace, slow

Alllllllrighty then! Just finished making and filling the 2 new Mini SIPs with soil and water. I will let them sit overnight and then plant my 2 Sour Crack seeds. They already are cracked open, but will give them another 12 hours to get s little longer of a tail before planting. It slso gives my Mini SIPs a chance to wick up so.e of the water. I drilled th hole at the 1 gal mark. So I just put 1/2 Gal in there tonight. Want to see if it wicks that 1/2 gal up and will top it off tomorrow. I have to move a couple of plants around to make room for them and 2 Iced gushers that will be in Juniors. I have to do some reammending of Kis Soil, I will go do that after I press and vape some Grape Rolex right now. Actually I have to also move my drying tent and the new Mars Hydro tent, so I will do that first. Lots of work to do, I will get it done tho. I have a brand new Mars Hydro Cob light coming, so that will light up the new tent! I was fortunate enough to win the 420 contest. Thanks if you voted for my post! It will be used intantly once it arrives. The tent is nice, and I am also making pvc Side supports for all of my tents this week to avoid the negative pressure effects so much. It gives you more room. I rig up some ghetto versions, but these will be nice. Hung from Ratchett hangers, should work well. Better than what I do now. Eventually my tents all fsll.apart at the seams. Im hoping this will help decrease the stress on the fabric. I have to have negative pressure or my wife bitches about smells. Happy wife, happy life.

Peace, slow

All planted up and under a 6500k Cob in my new 28x28 tent. My new Mars Hydro light will be here Sat! I like the tent, but not sure why it doesnt have an intake on the bottom. Poor design, I assumed it had at least 1 4 Inch round near the bottom. Nope, just a little one for cords. Kinda stupid, actually really stupid. I dont like those flaps, so now I have to.rig up a better exhaust. Its fine for a while, but not once the plants get bigger. I am happy with my little Mini SIPs, perfect sized for that tent. Lets see how these do! Peace, slow
