Mumen Ryder's Mini Tents

Hello Again, Overgrow!

Well it’s been about a year since I did any real growing… I think I had one plant in one tent for a while, but it’s been pretty empty in here the last 12 months. I’ve been lurking around here, checking out what everyone else has going on and at some point I got inspired to start again.

I started up again 2 months ago

The 2, 2x2 tents are sorta filling up:

I’ve gone back to trying some autoflowers, and as usual I’m just messing around, trying things.

In the left tent

  • Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey
  • Mephisto Sour Stomper

Both are in recirculating systems water 4 times a day in 50/50 coco/perlite in pots that are less than 1 gallon each… so they stayed REAL small LOL… I think if I had done pure coco though, they both might have needed their own tent, but honestly I have no idea.

4AM on the left, Sour Stomper on the right:



Sour Stomper at day 59 smells awesome… like grapes and mint and some sort of weird dankness… Her structure is A+, I’m not worried about trimming her at all. Minimal foliage, nice and open but not too stretchy. Harvest this weekend.


The 4 Assed Monkey at day 64 is a squat leafy thing… Harvest probably the next weekend. I’m really not looking forward to trimming her, but her nugs feel really dense and I think she should yield OK for being less than a foot tall LOL…

In the right tent

  • Mephisto Sour Crack
  • Mephisto Creme De La Chem
  • Mephisto Hubbabubba Haze

The Sour Crack is only 34 days from sprout and doing well:

I’m using real growers Recharge to try and prevent any stem/root rot and just hand watering this tent as needed. I used this in the coco plants and the top of the coco is absolutely covered in Trichoderma, so I think I’ll be good to go. She already needs daily watering and I’m really sick of it LOL… This weekend the Sour Stomper is getting chopped and Sour Crack will get her spot in that tent where she can be watered automatically.

The Creme De La Chem and Hubbabubba Haze are just getting started, in fact the Haze only went into the coco yesterday after being popped in a paper towel.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your gardens :+1:

Looking good man.

I just finished growing one of these and she smells great with solid buds. So much so I got some rot on one of them but I did mine outside.

Here’s a pic:

Welcome back and all the best.

I think I saw that on your thread, was she the one that only got an hour or two of light per day?

I’m awaiting the smoke report from Ms. Foreigner :sunglasses:

It’s cool you can grow plants outside. Where I live everything has be behind a door that can lock…

Too bad really, all this power we are wasting on indoor lighting when the sun is free and green as can be lol :grin:

I grew two actually. One full sun, stunted by by dumbness, crippled by bud rot but I saved a small bit of it. The other one got virtually no sun and interestingly I ended up with around the same yield from both plants after all the problems.

It’s still curing but I’ll be sure to let you know what she says in a few weeks :+1:

My dudes, thank you very much for the kind words and the welcome (back). I’m glad to be back with you all and sharing in our collective adventures in gardening :slight_smile:

A week ago I harvested the sour stomper at day 63. That is 100% the fastest plant I have grown. I know autos are fast, but most I have grown get huge and take 80+ days… so it’s a nice change.

Here she was right before the chop. She has such a great flower to leaf ratio…:

I hung her branches to dry in the closet:

I harvested the 4 Assed Monkey today at day 72. Here she is before the chop.

She was chunky as hell and just has buds head to toe…

She is also drying in the closet:

The Sour Crack now has a tent all to herself:

The CDLC and the Hubbabubbahaze are doing ok:

The CDLC is at day 15, and the haze is at day 6.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your gardens!

Sour Stomper was finally done drying, took about 10 days…

I have recently come to prefer a dry trim, and decided to try the Canna Brush:

It does a decent job and is quite fast:

Buds come out about like this:

Took me 20 minutes to do the full plant, which was 2 ounces dry:

I had to pick some of the leaves off with my gloved fingers (which was my old way of dry trimming), but about 90% came off really easy with the brush, and the buds surprisingly don’t look in any way diminished.

I plan to use the brush from now on.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck in your gardens!

I might have to buy one if those, I hate trimming and usually just give them a buzz cut with the scissors lol

It does seem to work pretty well…

I have recently switched over to a dry trim, and honestly find it’s a lot easier than wet trim.
I used to wet trim my buds with scissors before hang drying and it was hell…

I started doing dry trim and picking the leaves off by pinching them with a gloved hand and that was a solid improvement in speed, but the brush is actually even faster.

Sour crack is living her best life at day 54. Overall she looks almost perfectly healthy, just small signs of nutrient burn even at 400ppm … (.8 EC)
I flush her with RO water about once a week when I change out the rez.
Currently she gets fertigated 4 times a day.

Hubbabubba haze is small for her age at day 17, she really seems to be light sensitive. Almost 0 node spacing, she has 5 nodes and is like… 3 inches tall.

I removed her from the tent and left her in the dimly lit room for about 4 hours until she was praying. I raised the light up another 6 inches and she seems to be good with it now.

I raised the CDLC (day 26) up 6 inches because she was fine with the previous light height.
She is a weird leathery thing… Thick leaves that are fairly large. I’m tucking some of her leaves to allow branches to pop out, and so she looks a bit odd.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your gardens!

The Sour Crack was my prototype for starting an autoflower in a large rockwool cube + coco and she did great.

Chopped at 65 days, and actually a decent size for this strain:

I wrote down everything I did in great detail so that I could replicate it including EC, light distance, how much the cubes should weigh on a scale before watering, etc.

I repeated all these same steps for the CDLC and Hubbabubba Haze and they are both stunted lol…

I’m not honestly 100% sure what happened. The sour crack must just be very hearty and resistant to whatever was lacking, because these other 2 are way behind on size.

They both acted like they couldn’t handle the level of lighting so I kept raising it up, and they had strange leaf shapes in the seedling stage which were possibly indications of Ca def that I didn’t read properly at the time. On top of that it was pretty dry in the tent. Honestly though nothing that looked like a big enough issue to keep them this far behind.

CDLC:

Hubba Haze:

Not super happy with the outcome of these so far, but not a huge deal.

I started a Skywalker in small cup of coco and I’m going to try to see what size a plant I can get starting already with daily feedings carefully measured on a kitchen scale.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your gardens!

Bad luck on the stunted autos, but the setup is looking good and it’s nice to see you back in action. How are they smoking?

I did a Walter White outside this year, turned out quite nice for outdoor.

Yo, thanks buddy!

The Sour Stomper and 4AM are great smokes… I will have a full report for both of them within a week or so, now that they have been curing for about 20 days.

I have wanted to grow Walter White for a while, but they never seem to have the originals line in stock… Fantasmo and Hubba Smellascope are also on my list if they ever come up.

What was the Walter White like?

Man thanks very much for the kind offer! Honestly though, I have a fairly massive backlog of Mephisto stuff here I need to grow out :smile:

The WW sounds pretty hype, I like Lemon and Pine, especially together.

Final Reports for Sour Stomper and 4 Assed Monkey

These have been curing about 20+ days and I’ve been at both of them quite a bit.

Method of consumption is vaporization via a Dynavap.

Sour Stomper

Growing it:

Fast, and 0 larf on the plant. Perfect structure, open but not stretchy and finished in 63 days. A breeze to trim, bud to leaf ratio was absolutely nuts. Took me ten minutes per ounce to dry trim with the canna brush.

Yield:

60 grams

Aroma/Flavor:

Intense grapes, berries. Strong smell on this one, opening a jar fills the room pretty fast. Impressive level of terps. Terps are so strong this one actually has fruit flavor in the vape. It tastes something like fruity pebbles.

High/Effect:

Pleasant and I do actually think there is a bit of a mood boost with this one. I thought it was placebo because strain descriptions tend to “steer” a persons high, but I did notice that even when I wasn’t high I was having strangely positive thoughts the past couple weeks, which is weird for a cynical old curmudgeon like myself.

What about Anxiety/Paranoia/Existential Dread ?

It’s definitely possible to overdo this one. One night I really hit it hard before bed, and I was having semi-horrific psychedelic visions that caused me to get up and drink some water lol…

4 Assed Monkey

Growing it:

Leafy plant, quite a bit of larf, super squat and small node spacing. Big nugs pretty much covered the top half though. Yielding OK for a plant under a foot tall. Took about 70 days.

Yield:

48 grams and quite a bit of larf to be used later.

Aroma/Flavor:

Mainly black coffee, like… the blackest coffee. Hard to fully describe the smell but it sits in your nose for a couple seconds after you are done smelling it. It’s almost like a rubber smell but not… It’s a pairing of dark intense smells that overall are like some kind of super dank coffee.

High/Effect:

Relaxing for sure, but paired with a pretty blistering head high initially. Tapers off into typical Indica effects that last quite a while.

What about Anxiety/Paranoia/Existential Dread ?

My wife says that she can get reallllly high on this one and not have any issues with it. Even one puff off the vape is enough for me so I haven’t really tested the limits of this one. The initial 30 minutes of the high can be a bit much, but after that it’s all good.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your gardens!

Nice descriptions thanks .

Thanks for checking them out!

The Sour Stomper I grew was definitely a special plant. Once I get this whole coco coir thing down (these are my 2nd and 3rd plants ever in coco) I will probably try and self cross Sour Stomper, or cross her with something else.
