Popped 4/4 Biscotti Mintz, This is my second time Germinating from seed and I’m still learning. I’ve always done autoflowers also so photoperiod’s are new to me! I placed them straight into prepared Coco Pro soil. Haha got the light conditions wrong as I’m just using what I’ve got which is HID and didn’t want to kill them.
Struggled keeping humidity up I think it’s my filter but I don’t know. Tried most tricks in the book and had to invest in a humidifier ( not the best either). I know it’s frowned upon to use foliage spray sometimes as it can cause mould/light burn but my humidity levels are some what in the middle
Done some LST, maybe too much lol ( I’m still learning). Topped all 4 successfully
. Finally feel like I’m getting some where I have learned a hell of a lot just from these few weeks. This is the first time I’ve ever done any type of training in a strain and photoperiods so I’d rather focus on learning than just yeild.
Starting to see the benefits from Topping last week definitely, when I first topped I panicked and thought what have I done. Also when I defoliated I did some more research. All
In all I’m learning as each week goes by! Increased the ballast wattage to 1000W and terminated the Kush Berry also as it was interfering with my other 4 ( Temperature and space). Next week I’m going to add my SCRoG net. This is all new to me and I’ve never trained a plant before so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks everyone
Up and down this week. Too much LST snapped two great bud sites 😭 Trail and error and all part of learning but still shocking to be so silly! I didn’t realise and it was too late to fuse the branches back together and rather than risk infection I decided to cut them and direct energy into the healthy nodes.
Could be worse!
On a positive note the training I have applied has mostly worked and I will definetly benefit from it. I have learned so much the past few month and continue to learn!
This week I have seen a lot of explosive growth in terms of height and shape! I was reluctant to beg from 6 weeks as I thought there wasn’t enough growth but they started to absolutely guzzle feed and respond well to everything I had done. Really happy with how they’re growing for now apart from the few issues I have had to say this is the first photoperiod strain I have grown and trained in really impressed. Humidity issues are still present but I’ve managed to maintain about 40% which is acceptable with temperatures bang on! I can see bud sites appearing everywhere and the defoliation technique really seemed to have worked. I will defoliate again before I flip to flower... Excited to keep growing!!
This week went great! The defoliation worked a treat and I was just preparing for flower. Tried to use my SCRoG net however was unsuccessful as the SCRoG was terrible🤣
Week 8 Looking absolutely huge😂 They’re so tall and wide . Lots of healthy green leaves and strong roots.
I was worrying a lot about sex issues as when I did my research I found out they’re quite common to hermaphrodite. Was really worrying but all calyx’s have female signs (so far🙏🏻) so pray for me brothers&sisters.
1 Day before Week 3 , Fattening up now and getting ready to grow into hopefully nice juicy buds. Absolutely stinking and responding well to my efforts to train!
Well... What a very very stressful week this has been, A few pistils started browning. I went over each girl no Nana’s definitely all female, started panicking thinking I maybe had bugs, root rot e.t.c.
Flushed for two days and all new growth showed healthy signs kicking out some serious trichomes! Smells beautiful and PH for the run off was exact.
Gave 1/2 Nutrients/Feed today for the first time just to ease the girls back in but fingers crossed I have either had some PH issues or wind burn possibly.
Had to Defoliate again today as the foliage was ridiculous😂 I hope next week isn’t so stressful 🙏🏻 Wish me luck man please I need it 🤦♂️🏻😅
Stressful to say the least, Browning pistils from
Very very early however no hermaphrodites. Just can’t get my finger on where they’re at week 5 just added PK 13/14 and now considering whether I should’ve done or not they are showing signs of been ready for harvest yet don’t look done
Hi guys! Week 6 of flowering, happy with the shape and trichomes production! Yeild not so much... at all😂 I went too far with pruning! Lesson learned for next time. I’m going to wait until I see some amber trichomes to flush.
Flushed from Sunday-
Not too happy with the bud structures at some parts but 🤔 I think the yield will be disappointing too considering I hung two 660W HPS over but I learned a hell of a lot and in terms of quality I would say 10/10 the smell is amazing
Looking beautiful man. This is a strain I am interested in growing myself, How would you describe the growth of it and overall experience so far with it ? its smell ? Keep up the great work man and happy growing. If you get a minute check out my diary and give my profile a follow. Take care bro
@LegacyMarketFarm, No problem and I’d definitely say the shorter side. I think I’m gonna start to flush on week 7 of flower, I’ve had a lot of orange pistills but also a hell of a lot of white I think it maybe been a feeding issue. Be sure to keep this diary updated and we shall see!
@Cultivate, nice to hear man. Thanks for the time you took to respond. How long is the flower cycle? in your personal opinion have you found when best to harvest it?
@Cultivate, fingers crossed they don’t flip for ya mate, mine were heat stressed about a week before flip to 12/12 and they’ve recovered lovely here’s hoping yours is the same mate! 🤙🏻💚
@CocoTheClown, Thank you brother I must say I am abit paranoid about having some sex issues with the strain as they suffered some heat stress a couple week back but other than that I’m really excited. The aroma is so strong 💪🏻 💚
Looking to do biscotti mintz in future I’ll be keeping an eye out! Coco grower here too 😁
Wish you nothing but success and massive buds bro 🤙🏻
Leave a like on my diary or follow me if you have a minute 😁
Happy growing growmie! 🙏🏻💚
@CocoTheClown, Good luck brother. This strain for me so far has been great to train. I would advise you to look at the gender issues you may have with the strain as I’ve seen some people struggling however I haven’t!
