First grow! WW Auto and a MEPH-ystery?

PRS90 · Jul 19, 2016

Hey guys! First time poster and grower! I've read through a bunch of the threads on here(and arguments...haha) and tried to gather as much information before I started this whole process. I started with a fairly low budget and have been slowly piecing it together as I go so here it is!

Like I said, I've got two seeds going, about tens days apart from sprout each, one White Widow auto from Robert Bergmans site and a MEPHISTO mystery seed that was apart of my mix pack. They're each in 5 gallon buckets, with Fox Farm Ocean Forest and perlite, about a 50/50 mix. I've got the FF nutes as well, will start those around weeks 3-4.

The lights and area I'm growing is where I had to cut cost. I've got a 300w Mars Hydro and a 75w cheap knockoff I bought a while back. They seem to be ok with the space I'm working with so far(small closet). I'm hoping to get some sort of tent in the next few grows if this goes well.

I tossed up a few pics, the WW is at 10 days from sprout and the mystery just sprouted yesterday!

I've been super excited(and stressed!) and I'm looking forward to the next few weeks. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, PRS

Cool man. Best of luck to you. What sort of head height are you working with?

Cool, welcome! Best of luck I'll be joining along...

Thanks guys!

The rack in the closet I'm hanging the lights from is right about my height, little below 6 feet. So I'm gonna see how that goes for now, but here's hoping I'll be able to afford a decent tent soon! :cool:

Little update, nothing too exciting has happened yet, but nothing catastrophic either! Glass is always half full! :cool:

Temperature has been a little high lately but the heat is supposed to break a little bit soon hopefully! But everything looks great to my rookie eyes, new growth daily, no blatant signs of any deficiencies.

Today is 14 days from sprout for the Widow auto and 6 days for the Mephisto mystery gal!

Thanks guys!

Day 27 on the Widow and day 19 on the Mephisto mystery. Had some leaves burn on the Mephisto a little and some wilting but it seems to be recovering a little bit. Temps have been all over the place lately. Widow looks great in my opinion! Starting to smell great as well!

Day 31 on the Widow and 22 for the mystery lady. Snapped a couple white light pics before work this morning. Probably should've used more than just the flash but it does the job!

Started a light feed with the Widow this week and it has just really burst with new growth. Getting anxious to see some buds pop!

Thanks man! I've become absolutely obsessed with these beautiful ladies.

Case in point, since I decided to buy myself a little early birthday present. Was kind of forced to buy it anyway because of some smell complaints from my partner in all of this. So here's a few pics of the new setup! Definitely going to need to utilize the rest of my newfound space :bigjoint:

Yeah, see, smoking the shit isn't addictive. Growing it is moreso than heroin. You can never put down this habit, now that you've picked it up. :fire:

You ain't kiddin! I've definitely parted ways with some of my usual smoke cash in order to fund this addiction. Got another light coming in this week! :roll:

It's all about the long term investment, right?!

Today is Day 35 for my White Widow and Day 26 for my Mephisto little lady. It looked liked most of my bud sites had begun to really show signs of flowering on the widow! The little white pistols are becoming more and more abundant! They both look happy and healthy so far.

I'm hoping to begin a couple of Mephisto's Sour Blues later this week when I get the new MarsHydro in this week. I got a few as freebies and just saw someone else grow them on this site and those buds looked amazing :shock:

Thanks guys!

New light (MarsHydro Reflector96) arrived on time today AND my two seeds cracked that I had germinated so I put those both in soil as well! 50/50 FFOF and perlite, this time I put them in 7 gallon felt pots, folded down a little, just about 5 gal worth of medium. Like I mentioned, I picked a few of my freebies that I had gotten- Sour Blues from Mephisto and Bloody Skunk from Sweet seeds. I'm excited for both of them :hump:

Like the last Mephisto mystery seed I germed, the SB sprouted a root in about 16 hours and is just itching to grow. The Skunk was a little slower but still looked well.

Here's a couple of pics of the total setup and a couple of my girls in progress. Day 37 and 28, hoping that the new light really pushes the buds along. I finally feel very pleased with my total setup other than a couple little odds and ends. But ideally I'm looking to cycle 2-4 plants at a time in these intervals. Not looking for giant yields, I want good smoke as this is just for personal use and to tease all my friends with some top quality stuff! So being able to focus in on a few plants is my plan.

Thanks, PRS

So I'm beginning to think that I may have stretched out my veg period a little longer with the move to the tent. I believe I read that some stress to the plant like that could result in a longer veg. My WW is just a monster now but really just shows a lot of bud spots and pre flowering. The Mephisto is a few days behind but doing pretty much the same thing. EDIT-Sorry, it's 45 days from sprout.

Any thoughts?

That's awesome! Their genetics are so good from what I've seen and now from the two plants that I've dealt with from them so far.
I actually just got my new genetics delivered today! I just keep treating myself... Got Mephisto's new illuminauto line, Skyrone Stomper and White Chem :bigjoint:

Good luck to you with those bud, I can't wait to try the smoke!

First grow! WW Auto and a MEPH-ystery?
