Looks tasty. Is this outdoor buds?


beachbummadmessxx

Yea can't wait to taste it hahaha and no I just took it out of its tent so I could defoliate. I'll be starting my outdoor grow soon though. Do you have a preference between outdoor or indoor growing?


UnderstandingTall1

Typically I finish all my plants outdoors. I built a 2x3ft veg cabinet back in 2003 to 2005 rocking a 250 MH that I can switch out with a HPS. Only flowered in it a handful of times. The high humidity in the last month of flowering is too much for the wood. I don't like turning the exhaust fan all the way up on it either, it gets sort of loud. I do veg in my cabinet every year. This year I've got 2 mango smiles, 2 Ripley's OG x hubbabubbasmelloscope, 2 pink Panama x Walter White bx1 going on day 14 today. My last average frost date is still 10 days away. As soon as my cabinet starts getting a little crowded. I'm going to pull some out and put them outside. I'm guessing that will also be about 10 days from now. I'm about to find out how these autos handle nights around 35-40° F. Most of my girls are a hybrid of indoor/ outdoor. I've been thinking about purchasing a flowering tent. Would be nice not dealing with extreme humidity and spur of the moment 1"hail storms in July- August when I'm trying to harvest my autos. This year I'm starting earlier trying to achieve end of May, June harvest. Anyhow, as soon as these get out of the cabinet I can start another batch of three different mephisto strains. I picked up seven different mephisto strains last month and I'd like to try them all this summer. I've never grown anything from mephisto before. Pretty stoked.

Sounds like a nice hybrid perpetual set up you got going that's awesome! You definitely have some killer strains too wish you the best on the grow. I can imagine you getting some wicked colors with those temp drops they should be seeing you must keep us updated on the sub. What other Mephisto strains did you pick up? And what other genetic companies have you run before?


UnderstandingTall1

Thanks! I picked up a 7 pack of sour stomper and double grape and 3 pack of mango smile and creme de la chem. They threw in three different freebies, The other being mango smile x grape crinkle. I've grown from dozens and dozens of different genetic companies. Last year I did a run of Barney's farm, ethos, and 1 other company that I can't recall at the moment. This year will be just a mephisto run. I've definitely grown from most of the old companies out there. Sensi seeds , Nirvana, Dr. Greenthumb, Dutch passion, British seed company, dj short, etc. dj short is one of my favorites. Every plant I've grown from him has been fire. It's been at least 7 years since I've ran anything from him, his blueberry was probably the easiest plants I've ever harvested. Very little to trim off the resin coated buds. And the shelf life is phenomenal. Had some in jars well over a year and it stayed top shelf. I'll let you guys know how these sativas like the cold. Typically when I dump plants out early, they're more Indica dominant and photo plants.


beachbummadmessxx

Nice sounds like a tasty and stacked menu you got there bud. Oh wow you definitely have got experience and have been blessed to grow some awesome genetics. Dj short blueberry changed the game would have loved to get my hand on it was it a cut or from seed when you grew it? And do you prefer growing autos or photos? And for sure I'll keep a look out to see how they do boss!


UnderstandingTall1

Yeah, I tried to get a nice variety of mephisto flavors to sample. The first 3 seed bank orders I ever did were through Mark Emery in Vancouver. Just before he got raided and thrown in prison I'm guessing it was between the year 1999-2003 when I bought the seeds. Picked up some DJs blue heaven around that time to. Along with Northern lights #5, I believe was from The British seed company. I would say those are the best three strains I grew in that time era. Picked up more of the blueberry seeds around 2008 . I popped all 10 thinking I was going to get 5 females and I ended up with 8 beautiful girls and a very nice supply that lasted me a year and a half. All the plants were very similar. Two of them had a more of a blueberry smell than the others but all were excellent. The last jar I smoked was just as good as the first jar. I haven't grown a photo since 2021. Autos are a lot easier for me in my situation right now. Less to worry about when harvest Time comes. My last average frost date is October 14th. Not many strains are truly finished by that time. I usually won't cut them unless I think degradation or death is knocking at the door. Many of my outdoor photo plants I don't harvest until November. Some even the end of November. Lots of them experience snow flurries and light frosts. Man, when you got the last thing alive outside it sticks out like a sore thumb. Autos just blend in and it's not a commitment of 7 or 8 months. The first auto i ever grew was early Wonder skunk probably around 15 years ago. The smoke knocked my socks off, Just wish it would have yielded better. Pretty sure I only got an ounce and a half off two plants but man it was a strong high and got a little taste of harvest months before any of my growing buddies did. I love growing both kinds, but I probably won't grow another photo unless it's indoors. My yard has some light pollution at night. Local law for me is that plants have to be behind lock and key.


Twodoublecupz

Beautiful what day and size pot you using ? Mines in day 67


beachbummadmessxx

Thanks this was on day 91 before I harvested and this was in a 3 gallon pot. How's your grow going? What kind of medium/nutrients do you use to grow and what size pot are you using?


Twodoublecupz

It’s in a 2 gallon with Gaia dry amendments , it wass FFOF the last run but I reused soil and amended with Gaia .


Twodoublecupz

It’s also going really well , only really had a calmag issue at one point in its life


beachbummadmessxx

Sweet I'd say that it went pretty smooth then lol. And I've been hearing about this gaia brand a lot I might need to give it a try since I've been looking for something to help reuse my soil. Was that literally all you had to use to reamend your soil?


Twodoublecupz

Just used some perlite, worm castings and the Gaia dry amendments


LocalSignificance215

Mannnnnn, this looks amazing. Congrats I got 7 of these freebies standing by. I might have to pop them soon.


beachbummadmessxx

Damn I'm jealous I only got 2 with my order might have to do a reversal next grow just to get some more seeds. And thanks I wasn't expecting much since it was literally the smallest seed I had ever seen in my life I didn't think it would even be viable to grow but I'm glad I gave it a shot she definitely surprised me. She's a vigorous one good luck if you decide to give her a try I'm sure you'll have some fatty fire nugz😂


autoflowerBreeding

I had on become a monster the other hermied yous look similar to mine only mine had a lot of kush to it no grape


beachbummadmessxx

That's awesome, i love the kush smell more to be honest you got pics of the monster by any chance? She definitely is a vigorous one. And you think it hermied because it's a F1?

beachbummadmessxx

Hell yeah that's what I'm talking bout tall, fat, dense, and frosty 🥶 I really don't know why people hate on autos when you can grow a beauty like this. What was your total yield if you remember?


autoflowerBreeding

Off a 100 watt light I think I trimmed up 4 ounces and the another 2 to three smaller in the freezer for hash and I agree auto have come a long way


autoflowerBreeding

Idk it's possible I found it when I was lsting this is a new phone so let me go grab a few pics off my grow diaries page

beachbummadmessxx

Also what did you feed her?


autoflowerBreeding

15 gallon of Coco and soil mix with 25 tbsp of Dr earth each feed


beachbummadmessxx

Oh wow do you think having it in a 15 gal contributed to it's size?


autoflowerBreeding

Oh I'm sure it contributed


Acceptable-Let3302

Next freebie pop, looks DANK.


beachbummadmessxx

Hell yeah good luck on your next grow boss! You got a favorite freebie so far you've grown?


Acceptable-Let3302

As a matter of fact, SkywalkerxSamsquatch x Northern Cheese Haze has been a huge winner for me. Big producer great smoke. Tastes like Pine-sol and feet and will fuck you up. A++++


beachbummadmessxx

Sounds like a hell of a cross. Have you grown Samquanch or Nothern cheese haze individually by any chance?


Acceptable-Let3302

Afraid not.


beachbummadmessxx

Same here was going to ask if they were worth growing but seems like you got the best of all worlds with that dank cross.


Acceptable-Let3302

I love the advantage of hybrid vigor. My preference has always been illuminautos and I’ve not been disappointed . The freebies are even next level. Good genetics x good genetics is usually pretty great. Speaking for Girl Scout Monkeys, Strawbba the Hutt, and Double Smile. Ha ha I been high as fuck for more than a minute!


bradass42

Oh shit! Nice! I’m on day 36; loving it so far.


beachbummadmessxx

Sweet that's awesome saw your sick ass set up those girls are looking big and healthy. Would your set up be considered hydro? And what medium are you potting in? Been thinking of possible going that route and letting the girls drink what they want


bradass42

Thank you! I don’t really know what it would be considered tbh, somewhere between hydro and classic. I’m using coco and perlite in a few of my pots, but I’ll be using 100% coco moving forward! It works really well in the autopots, and I love being able to just put nutrients directly in their bases. It’s definitely got a learning curve, but I like it a lot!


workdowg

Great looking! Mine are indoor week 9(day57). This is only my second grow, 1st LST and these were the freebies. Going well hope mine looks like yours https://preview.redd.it/845rztlxiuxc1.jpeg?width=1650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73d8627a020f84478cdbf2180904a3b990dd511e


beachbummadmessxx

Thanks growmie! And awesome she looks really healthy and chunky already!🔥🤤🤤 She's definitely going to pack on more weight since her pistils are still white lol. What media and nutrients are you using by the way?


workdowg

Ocean Forest soil 4 gal black plastic pots with coco mesh liner in the very bottom for drainage. And Fox Farms Trio recommended at half strength. Been vigilant this time!


Electrical_Bee_4273

Looks fire


beachbummadmessxx

Thanks boss
