BrediniGreeny Welcome to what I’m calling my Mephisto Genetics Experiment!😄 Why the dramatic name? Because the summer forecast is hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna.😫😫. We’re about to find out how well we can dance through the heat—me, my plants, and the mighty air conditioner. I’ve already ordered a mobile AC unit to keep things chill—literally. On May 15th, I kicked off the experiment by putting a Forum Stomper from Mephisto Genetics bean to germinate. I couldn’t stop myself there (classic me), so on May 17th, I added a Double Grape to the mix because… let’s be honest, that grower itch is real, and I just had to scratch it. Now here’s the twist: I'm keeping these seeds in the good ol’ wet paper towel method, tucked gently inside a plastic container. But here’s where it gets a bit odd—they’re always with me. Like, on me. I’m experimenting to see if my body warmth helps with germination. Will it make a difference? Will I become some kind of sprout whisperer? Only time will tell. So that's it for now. Two seeds, one AC unit on the way, and a summer of sweaty suspense ahead. Let’s see how this goes—stay tuned and root for me (pun very much intended)!😏😛 5/19/25 May 19th – We Have Liftoff! 🚀 Today’s the day – both seeds have germinated! One of them, our little Forum Stomper, ditched her helmet (left her seed shell behind in the paper towel) and even spread her cotyledon leaves while I wasn’t looking. The other, Double Grape, is just starting to show her taproot. I placed them both into pre-soaked coco tablets (soaked in pH 6.5 water with 0.1ml of root juice). Gave them a nice mist with room temperature water, tucked them into a glass container, and now it’s up to them. Fingers crossed, but for now — liftoff achieved! 🌱✨ 5/23/25 The Mephisto Genetics experiment is going really well. The little ones are now a bit bigger and just moved into larger pots. I used BioBizz Light Mix with added perlite—about a 50/50 ratio. I also added TNC Mycorr Plus for beneficial fungi and microbes. To protect the roots from fungus gnats, I topped the soil with a layer of clay granules and a bit of sand. The Double Grape is looking good, just slightly crooked from chasing light on the windowsill. Forum Stomper had some trouble with her cotyledons, but she's pushing out her first true leaves now and looks like she'll bounce back.🙏💚 I also gave them about 150 ml of water total, pH 6.3, PPM 105, at a temperature of 22.5°C. Each plant got roughly 75 ml. They’re now in the tent where just one SF-1000 is on over the Gelato Auto, far away😁 and receiving around 168 µmol/m²/s PAR. Stay tuned—things are looking promising.😊💚🌱

BrediniGreeny 5/25/25 Veg Day 1 My little Mephisto Genetics babies are off to a solid start! 🌱 They’re about 2cm tall now and looking lively. One of them (Forum Stomper) had a rough start with some cotyledon leaves drama 😥, but she’s bounced back and is pushing out her first true leaves—back on track and keeping pace with her sister. Double Grape is thriving😍 ! 5/27/25 So after asking my grow question and getting a ton of great responses (huge thanks to everyone!), I decided to recheck the DLI for all the plants to see exactly where things stand. Ended up adjusting the positions a bit—now the healthier-looking Double Grape (aka Grapey) is sitting at around DLI 14, and the Forum Stomper (Stompy) is getting about DLI 11. Hopefully that helps balance things out! Also had a hunch that the layer of sand on top of the soil might be limiting oxygen flow to the roots. After reading through all the helpful feedback, that hunch got confirmed—big shoutout to @Ultraviolet for the clarity and good vibes! Lesson learned: sand’s fine later on in air pots, but not ideal for young plants in regular plastic pots. Noted! They also got a little treat today—about 100ml of water each with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Going in PH 6.5 ppm 112 temp 21°C. Grow babies, grow! Much love – 💚💚💚🌱 5/28/25 The little Mephisto girls got their own tent now! I moved them in to get better control over the light and overall conditions. I wasn’t liking how the Double Grape was chasing the light from the flowering Gelato, so this should keep things more dialed in. The Spider Farmer 32W under-canopy/veg LED lights arrived today — I ordered two sets, and I installed one in the new Spider Farmer nursery tent. That space will now be dedicated to early veg and seedling stages. I set the light schedule to 20 hours on / 4 hours off, which gives them just over 10 DLI. Super hyped to see how the Mephisto girls take off in their new setup!😊 5/31/25 Today I gave both Mephistogenetic plants some light watering. Each one got about 150 ml of water, mixed with: 0.2 ml Root Juice; 0.15 ml BioHeaven ; 0.15 ml ActiVera The pH going in was 6.1, PPM at 160, and water temp was 23°C. After watering, I put both plants on the counter near the sink. As I moved around I flung Forum Stomper into the sink. The soil spilling everywhere and "Stompy" ending up just in the coco puck with roots ticking out. I replanted it but I think that was it for her. She was already not growing very good. I am very, very disappointed in me. I don't know but since I started documenting my grows here I have a lot of bad luck. I think I should stop and just grow for myself. What's even the point in posting ?!? 😒😒

Hi Growmies✌️💚🌱 I am looking for opinios on what my little one has? And what can I do to help her, if anything? Started her 2 days before the Double Grape, she germinated first, had problems with cotyledon leaves from the start. Even when they weren't green,they had spotsThx

Pot looks ceramic or plastic, limiting oxygen. Sand can act as an effective oxygen barrier, particularly when combined with other materials in a layered system designed to control water infiltration and oxygen diffusion. This is because sand's coarse nature and the resulting spaces between grains can limit the passage of oxygen through the soil. Oxygen readily diffuses through air, but its diffusion through water is significantly slower (up to 10,000 times slower). Sand is creating a moisture-retaining layer (MRL), hindering oxygen diffusion. God bless those hydroton pebbles. Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient, and its availability in the soil is strongly linked to the presence of oxygen. Plants primarily absorb phosphorus as phosphate (PO4), and oxygen is a key component of this molecule. Furthermore, the availability of phosphorus in the soil can be impacted by factors like soil aeration and temperature, which in turn affect the oxygen supply to the roots. Phosphorus uptake in plants is most critical during the early stages of growth, particularly within the first few weeks of plant development. Young plants actively growing tissues have a high demand for phosphorus. They may absorb up to 75% of their total phosphorus requirements within the first few weeks of vegetative growth, with studies indicating in controlled environments up to 51% of uptake happening overnight, primarily in the first few hours or early nightfall. Anaerobic respiration, unlike aerobic respiration, doesn't utilize oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. This results in a significant drop in the amount of energy (ATP) produced, which is necessary for various plant functions, including growth, nutrient uptake, and maintenance of cellular processes. In the absence of oxygen, cannabis produces byproducts like ethanol and lactic acid during anaerobic fermentation. These byproducts can be toxic to the roots and inhibit their function, the lack of oxygen in the plant medium leads to a decrease in pH due to the production of carbon dioxide during anaerobic respiration and impaired pH regulation within the plant. You can survive weeks without food. You can survive days without water. You can survive minutes without oxygen. You can survive 16 seconds without ATP.

BrediniGreeny 6/1/25 Starting a new week. Stompy turns out to be a mutant😁[for now, until she shows me some normal leaves]. Grapey is growing strong💚 Although Stompy germinated first, she is more then twice as small as her sister Grapey😊 No matter, I will keep them both, give them care and love and see if Stompy surprises me😁. 6/4/25 Today they got 150 ml of water each with: RootJuice 0,2ml; Activera 0,2 ml; BioHeaven 0,2ml; CalMag 0,15ml. Going in PH 6,2 ppm 230 temp. 23°C.
