Transistos second

[MephistoTransisto]

Please understand, that some of the issues with the plant you’re upset about were possibly grower induced. Pushing dli that high will cause issues. High temperatures also.

When the plant leaves are straight up, or twisting… she’s trying to limit leaf exposure to the over abundance of light.

I’m sure you have a reason you’ve got the light turned up so high…. But it’s overkill. While some strains will tolerate it, others won’t.

They didn’t love it. They survived. They sucked all the water up to increase transpiration so they wouldn’t overheat…

different strains develop at different rates. Some take their time building structure before exploding with growth.


Totally would have produced a good amount of smoke….



People hate autos because they take more finesse and skill to grow. They don’t like the abuse photos will take.

We see lots of new growers struggling with autos because they want to “push the genetics to see what they are capable of”… it’s a sure way to run into problems. Back it down a bit…. The increased dli and co2 etc won’t give you better results unless things are absolutely perfect throughout, and then it’s not guaranteed. Lotsa folks here grow dank weed, without the overuse of electricity (light) or co2. It’s about providing a stable, happy environment so the plant can flourish to its potential.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Youre right, the strawberry gorilla going wonky was caused by me, but still their genetics are not as stable as Mephisto and our prone to more issues. they breed to F3 where mephisto breeds to at least F5.

This next grow, I’m not gonna push things crazy hard. Because you’re absolutely right there’s plenty of people that are growing great stuff and they’re not pushing things like I am. I cause problems when I push things too far and I’m not really experienced enough to be pushing things as far as I have been.

I’m gonna run normal nutrient EC, I’ll keep the lighting within instructional bounds.

Ill have to check out night owl. I think I looked at them before and they had a fairly small selection? Unique genetics though. I would try them . I’ll keep an eye on there stocks maybe they’ll breed something that catches my eye.

Yeah, it’s a small operation… but worth checking out.

Also I always recommend this…

Smaller boutique breeder, and is active onsite if you have questions. Everybody really loves the terps of Rootbeer Float… and she’s usually a big yielder.


Sounds like you’ve got a good plan together, my friend. Feel free to tag me anytime with questions…. or stop by Live Stoners to ask questions in real time to the community.

I like what Grok told me - "Always prioritize plant health—over-stressing can backfire with lower yields or herming. Genetics remain the ceiling, but these tweaks help plants hit it."


My new mindset going into the next grow (probably grape crinkle), will be that genetics are my ceiling. So instead of trying to push the plants every way possible, i'm going to focus on giving them what they need.

mephisto breeds to at least F5.

Btw…. You’ll find some Mephisto strains are f1’s, f3’s…etc.
