Mephisto Canna Cheese first time auto grow.

[Grownsince95]

I've been too curious to avoid it any longer so my first grow in the new little experiment tent is going to be an auto. Same as my other grows she's going to be in coco with GH trio and calimagic.

Light cycle is 9/3 ❤❤

Nice I’ll be following along. I’m jealous I’ve seen great reviews of Mephisto genetics.

Does 9/3 light mean 18/6?

9/3 twice a day back to back yup!!

Wait.. so you have lights on for 9 hours, then off for 3 then repeat?
(Be gentle with me I just dabbed)

 

[Grownsince95]

Yes indeed. I've tried 6/2 to veg photos also and it works great... imo it reduces light stress from high DLI and keeps environmentals more steady and humidity from spiking for too long. This will be my first try with 9/3

 

[Hortulanus]

Following along for sure. Excited to see how this goes for you.

No worries friend, you’re not alone. Well I didn’t dab but I’m still stoned. I came over here to get my brain some breathing room while reading about transpiration. I’m fried.

Great read thank you! I've been really fascinated with this stuff lately

 

[Grownsince95]

Almost a week and I'm your typical anxious, expectant father at this point like...omg grow already! Haha. She's on a 400 ppm diet now and has some company in the tent which I need to help bump the rh slightly

Very nice setup, how does the watering rings work?

Thank you!

They work great. Not like a drip emitter ecactly because if you put a little pressure behind them they get better coverage and im really happy with them.

Interested to watch Mephisto gear run, especially with this light setup! For an auto I wonder what it will do...my understanding is plants only measure darkness, so it should feel like a siberian summer....perfect for an auto since that's where ruderalis is from, right?

Idk you'd have to ask the plant!! Haha

Guess she'll tell us all soon enough!

Since this is the 1st time I've tried the strain or an auto I'm just going to let her do her thing... no topping no training nothing. I read you shouldn't mess with them much

Agree with that approach. I've only grown one, a Critical Mass 1:1 thc/cbd from ilgm. She was great. Didn't do a damn thing beyond pull a few fan leaves when they faded. I used her to make hash and edibles. Good stuff for pain cocktails (I just mean different strains taken together...).

I’m doing the same with my first auto now.

Cool, thanks for the heads up! I tried to go by reputation for consistency and quality because there are too many stories out there of bad auto genetics and people getting really funky results.
