The Mephisto genetics thread

Shit, how much are you giving them each time? I don't think i could handle more than 2x a day. If i had bluemats or another automated dripper that'd be sick watering the Tupar 5-6x a day. Monsters in half gal pots for sure.
Should be getting better light though... I'll figure something out...

Got a few going right now. They all look great...but the Double Grape is very impressive.

Very impressed with Mephisto. This is my first auto and my first indoor grow (been outdoors/fem for 5 seasons). I think I'll stick with Double Grape for the next few grows. Still need to get dialed in to max it out.

I'm a little stumped on the timing with these double grapes...

The trichomes are saying "Harvest!!" But the plant is saying "I've got more to give..."

Its still got white hairs and is making more daily, it's still green and the leaves havent started getting sucked out yet, it's still drinking aggressively...

What do the pros recommend? If your trichomes looked like this...

Trichs don't lie. I'd take it now unless you want more ambers. I like as much cloudy and little amber as possible so thise look perfect for me. Sometimes pistils will keep coming in and leaves don't always get yellow and die and fall off for me. I feed lighter anyways so my keaves are almost all green still. Also while they are still partially whiye, they are curled in and not all straight out so that makes the color not so important imo.

I appreciate the feedback. I've never run into it this drastic in my outdoor photo grows. Where the plant looks like it has so much more time but the trichs dont.

I've always heard the whole "sometimes the pistils will just keep coming" thing in every newbie "is it ready yet?!?!?!" thread on here. But then when it's my plant it's like logic and knowledge disconnects for some reason. Haha

Thanks for the reality check Matty.

When In doubt alwaysgo another weeek I say ... nice buds!
Thanks man. It's my first real auto grow so I'm pretty happy with how it's gone.

I have a 3' tall...GORGEOUS toof decay outdoors that is 3ish weeks from finish that I am gonna slide into this tent once these Double Grapes are done. Cant wait to see how it does finishing under the LED. It's already a beast. I figure finishing it under close to ideal conditions could be a homerun.

The double grapes are getting a couple of days in the dark in front of the a/c to finish up. They are looking good.

This means the tent is empty...so I can finish up the Toof Decay under the lights. Super excited to see how that goes. It's in a 7g pot (soil), and is about 3 feet tall right now.

I get that "pistils keep coming" sometimes on AF plants. My regiment is pretty consistent and even with in a certain genetic it happens.

Plants just change their minds.. LOL
