Grow Room Smorf's Micro #4: Mephisto northern cheese haze

[Sensi Jay]

I say one more good feed, then ride it out, what's guideline harvest timeframe for this strain?

 

[sour.b]

Yeah there is bit of a double consensus on this, I personally give "water only" more than a flush. Especially with organics as its been mentioned the soil is still full of life and will find food for the plant.. or so I think.

65-75 days
Amber trichs started showing a bit on day 56 so im thinking day 65.

I agree, should be plenty of life left in the soil if im harvesting at day 65.
When i check on her later (Day59)i will see if/how much she consumed from the fans since i didnt give anything besides recharge and mammoth p last night/day58
She wont need water until tomorrow night/day60

i concur just do straight water if you do, was also rea reading a bit and was thinking about your whole reading correct pH issue with the drop i suggested that work for cheap, another option that doesn't use a meter is pH strips i've had cheap wide range ones in the past that work, but you can get higher sensitivety ones in the pH ranges we need, i've personally never gotten the better rolls due to them not being easily accessible in my part of the world, but looks like i can get some now though but bit pricey, but here's an amazon.com link as i believe your in the states link to some if the drops aren't cutting it, just another option.

Thanks @Mr. Sparkle i will give those strips a try next time i make a amazon order. They might help me get more accurate with phing the water with nutes in it.
Ive been phing the water to 7 if im going to add GO biothrive bloom and camg, since those nutes bring ph down(not sure by how much so the strips might help me there) and i ph to 6.5 if im just adding recharge or mammoth p.

 

[Smorf]

Day 60
Gave 20oz water with recharge, 0.3ml mammoth p, 3ml biothrive bloom and 3ml camg+
She will get 20oz water with recharge and mp on day 62 and i will chop day 65 i think.

I don't know why everybody is so against these yellow pH pens from from the bay. I bought one vor 8€ and checked it every other day for 6 weeks against the kalibration solution (pH 4 and 6,35) we use in the lab where I'm working atm. It was only off 15% off the time, and the max it was off was 0.2. I think that is pretty stable and more accurate than guessing the right color. At least for me.

yeah man i use one of those council pens too. £12 from amazon. i test it on bottled water and its always spot on. admitedly it was about 0.5ph off after the first grow so now have a new one but i left it for a few days with the top off so im asuming thats why.

Thanks @sour.b that new GN light you are running interests me so i will be following your grow.

I was reading this thread: https://www.autoflower.org/threads/flushing-the-myth-that-wont-die.56274/
And it seems that flushing or even giving just plain water feeds the last week until harvest is starving the plant during a crucial time.
So i think im going to get one more good feed in before harvesting on day 65.
There probably is enough nutrients in the soil plus the fans for her to finish at day 65 though.
Im torn between the two lol i dont know if i should keep feeding or let her fade a bit before harvest by just giving plain water.
I have decided that flushing large amounts of water through the pot is not happening.
I will see how she looks later and maybe post some pics.

heya buddy nice bush you got there : ) i read that thread too before chopping. after confering with a few of my mentors i dropped to quarter strength nutes for a week (300-400ppm) then just water for 2 days and there was no nasty chemical tastes or anything other than nice smokeable bud. not sure if it makes a difference that im in hydro mind you.

Sweet looking little gal you have there. The buds look like they go all the way down the stems. Great job, bro.
