@Troy01 - I told you i would measure the girls yesterday and then i got high and didnt. Gnomie is only 10" and Waffle barely hitting 8" so my guess was pretty good. They look shorter in the pics because the soil has settled down around 3" since i planted them.
@imtoasted - Thanks! I wouldnt say a close eye on ppm, but i do check it from time to time mostly because if it seems really low or really high i know i messed something up.
The fox farm schedule says i should still be giving the grow nutes but i cut those out almost 3 weeks ago and the plants still seem to have lots of nitrogen. The bloom nutes are 2-8-4 and that seems to be more than enough. Also Waffle's leaves are starting to turn purple. Is it genetics? Is it a phosphorous issue? I dont know because there are so few pictures of this strain out there. Now that i think about it, Jane from last grow was under the same light and started to purple. I dont think lights can cause purple so it's most likely something i'm doing, or the plant is doing. If it's phosphorous she'll be droopy with rotting leaves in a day or two so stay tuned.

Thanks for checking. You should be proud of your plants they look fantastic. My tallest (Dee) was about 6 1/2 inches this morning. I've been keeping her tallest shoots level with the rest of the pant by LST. She is really bushy and would love to deflo some of her lower growth but she is just too short. I guess I'll have to wait until she does some stretching.
Hmm i didnt see any purple.. could be phosphorus. Maybe do a flush and reset the soil if it goes down hill tomorrow. The excessive N may be causing issues for ya.
Best to do that defoil after they stretch anyway so you dont have to do it again lol.

Day 45 and 43
Gnomie getting water tonight, Waffle getting food. Both look happy and gaining weight, just not much height. Waffle continuing to go purple. If it's a deficiency the feeding tonight should help. If it just wants to be purple that's cool too. It's 2018.

Wow so many tops. Do you think they'll continue to stretch much or just gain weight?

I'm not really sure what to expect. They will probably gain a bit more height gradually but maybe a few inches at best?

Day 46 and 44
Fed Gnomie tonight. Added some nitrogen back into mix because she was getting a little yellow toward the center. Will flush her on Wednesday just in case there is any nute build up. Did some defol on both. Waffle is getting frosty and Gnomie smells like lemon pledge. Very pleased so far.

Looking amazing mate, the even canopy is great and it's loaded!
Any idea what the suggested harvest time is supposed to be on those?

Thanks, the Mephisto website is finally back up so i was able to get an answer to this. They expect both strains to be around 65-75 days. And i noticed they list the Gold Glue (Waffle) as being small-medium in size so it's not my fault she's small. That's a relief.

Day 47 and 45
Plants didnt need anything today and i had some strawberries go bad so i decided to make some poor-man's CO2 generators. Took two 2L bottles and drilled a hole in each cap. Added pureed strawberries and 1/2 cup of sugar to each bottle. Funnel is almost a must here unless you have a wide mouth bottle. If you arent adding any fruit i would go with a full cup of sugar in each. Added room temp water to bottles until 3/4 full, put 1/2 packet of yeast in each and shook bottles until sugar dissolved. Put them both in between the two plants and they release the CO2 right at canopy height.
They should be good for a couple of weeks with shake here and there to keep it mixed. Eventually the alcohol levels will start to kill the yeast and stop the process in which case you could either add brewer's yeast which can handle higher alcohol levels, or pour out most of the water, add more sugar and water and if there is any living yeast left it should pick up again.
Does it help? I dont know. But it doesnt hurt so why not?

beautiful looking plants SF, crazy to hear how short they are! your pics are misleading xD either way they look to be very happy and healthy! great to see.
That purple isnt a bad thing.. definitely the plant just changing colors naturally. Too much co2 can be bad and you need higher temps when using it.. not sure why but thats what i remember. Adding the n will help her get through she needed it.. good call there man!

Day 48 and 46
Took the timer off to run them 24/0 the rest of the way. Temps holding between 80-82F and rh is 35-40%. Both got a flush tonight to prevent any build up. Both will get a big feed on Friday. Pics are from the bathroom tonight so the flash is on.
Gnomie (Creme Bubbly)
Waffle (Gold Glue)
Seedsman order finally arrived so next grow will probably be Blackberry Kush and Glueberry OG both from Dutch Passion. Seriously considering getting a 4x4 tent and starting them asap.

Nice keep it in the 80s with co2 and they will benefit more from it. The plants are looking great dude.. getting nice frost and bulk to them. Well shit if you have got the itch sctratch it man!! Sounds like you are getting a new tent then lol.

4x4 tent has been ordered, should be here by Tuesday so i should be able to complete two more grows before putting everything away for summer. I have a lot of work to do on the house this summer and the grow room leads to the utility room with the breaker panel and water hook-up so i want everything put away in case i have any workers come in.
Went with Vivosun for the tent as the features seemed similar to Mars, but it was $50 cheaper on amazon.ca
