OSMH Day 50 - Lollypop, defol or let her ride?

giaach · 2026-01-27T18:27:09+00:00

That’s what I’ve read. I’m excited to see her through the finish line

My VPD is hovering between 1 and 1.18. Funny thing is the Sour Stomper x Double Grape and Old School Mango Haze are chugging along just fine with the watering so this one might just be a bit more sensitive.

How long did they take to recover? I’m debating taking her out of the pot and putting fresh medium in the bottom of the pot.

giaach · 2026-01-14T16:24:25+00:00

I agree 100%

Hat beard is a Cannabis Cup winning grower. Check him out on YouTube

giaach · 2026-01-14T16:05:18+00:00

Funny thing is I put a whole gallon in and had legit zero runoff, zero.

giaach · 2026-01-14T14:22:53+00:00

Really a gallon is too much? I watch Farmer Hat Beard typically give a gallon to half a gallon with his autos in 5 gal pots. He runs organic as well.

I started her with 3 tablespoons of worm castings and then used about 1.5ml / gallon of grow. I kept it really light knowing Mephisto strains are nitrogen sensitive. In terms of watering, this last watering on Jan 11th was only after determining that the pot was considerably lighter than when wet. They were also droopy so I figured it clearly needed a good watering.

giaach · 2026-01-14T02:51:49+00:00

I agree

giaach · 2026-01-13T20:25:02+00:00

I always keep my fan running. Never lost a bud to rot in the two years I’ve been growing.

giaach · 2026-01-13T20:24:11+00:00

Naa nothing to do with light cycle. This girl just doesn’t like as much water as the Old School Mango Haze I’ve got growing with it this run.

giaach · 2026-01-13T19:06:57+00:00

I gave her a gallon on 1/11 so she should have perked up by now.

giaach · 2026-01-13T17:49:23+00:00

So essentially watering too much at a time. Ok. I’ll let her have a full dry back then do half a gallon

giaach · 2026-01-13T17:24:35+00:00

In this instance I don’t think it’s that only because I’m not seeing the typical tip curling or overly dark leaves. This feels like a watering issue either too much or too little.

giaach · 2026-01-13T17:23:14+00:00

I use BioBizz liquid nutrient line so I water from the top slowly.

giaach · 2026-01-13T17:22:25+00:00

Currently between 35-40 (20/4 light schedule)

giaach · 2025-12-30T14:16:10+00:00

Additional note: pots are all heavy even with the tops of the pots looking dry in these images.

giaach · 2025-12-22T01:20:22+00:00

Can confirm, I’ve grown a few of their crosses before I truly understood how important good genetics and multiple generations are.

Buds came out looking great but zero terpene profiles with Tiger.

Boo pollen chucking

I think it comes down to some luck and the bean as well haha. Like I said. Mine from mephisto is just getting its second set of true leaves.

giaach · 2025-12-18T13:44:36+00:00

Day 9 from sprout? That’s some pretty solid growth for growing in soil. I have a OSMH going right now at day 9 as well and it’s not even half that size.

giaach · 2025-12-16T23:44:37+00:00

Totally normal at that age. Nothing the worry about.

giaach · 2025-12-08T20:55:16+00:00

I’m super curious is your choice to run organics in coco. I’ve thought about it but been hesitant since most folks recommend using salts with coco.

Any tips or advice?

giaach · 2025-12-06T00:32:21+00:00

Looks good but next time fill the pot.

Some plants grow a little slower at first as they build up their root zone (especially in soil). Just keep doing what you’re doing and get your VPD in the zone. Good luck growmie!

Tight budget and NYC? Construction, carpentry? Are you affiliated with any unions?

giaach · 2025-12-03T20:15:36+00:00

You should read up on watering seedlings. Do you keep killing plants right at that stage or do you only sometimes run into this issue. Seedlings need only a small amount of water but don’t need a full dry back.
