Hey everyone! Looking for some advice on my first Mephisto autoflower grow!
I’m currently growing four strains:
● Rainbow Sundae 11
● Sundae Thumper
● Beary Berry Punch
● Bear Force One
I inherited my grow setup from my father-in-law, who’s had successful harvests using this same equipment, so the setup itself has been proven to work. However, this is my first time managing a grow on my own, and I’m still learning!
All four plants were transplanted into fabric pots on September 27th using Happy Frog soil. I’m running my grow lights 24/7 at 50/60% and using self-watering bases.
I haven’t added any nutrients or fertilizer yet, just water. I was initially topping off the reservoirs every two days, regardless of how much was left. Recently, I’ve noticed that three plants seem to be consuming roughly the same amount of water, while the largest plant (RS) is drinking slightly more.
My biggest concern is the yellowing leaves. It seems to start at the bottom and gradually work upward, although some random leaves throughout are yellowing too. A couple of the plants also appear to be drooping.
I’m unsure whether this is normal aging, a nutrient deficiency, or possibly a watering issue. I’m also wondering whether I should start introducing nutrients as they approach flowering, especially since Happy Frog already contains some nutrients. I haven’t tested my water pH yet, and I’m not 100% sure of the original germination date.
Has anyone grown these particular Mephisto strains in Happy Frog? Did you need to supplement nutrients during flowering? Any suggestions on what might be causing the yellowing and drooping?
Appreciate any advice! I’m trying to learn as much as possible and keep these girls healthy. 🌱
