Northern_Otter Started seeds 10-24-24 on 10-27-24 I planted them into 2.5" seedling pots with miracle grow seedling mix. By 10-29-24 the seedlings were starting to grow their first set of true leaves. I start seeds in a moist paper towel which I then place inside of a sandwich bag leaving the seam cracked about a quarter of the way. Next I lay down a 20"x10" seedling heat mat and cover it with a cotton table placemat or hand towel to prevent overheating. On top of the covered heat mat I place a ceramic dinner plate then I lay the seeds on the plate. I turn the heat mat on low and cover the plate concealing the seeds in darkness. If you choose to cover the seeds to shroud them in darkness make sure you have adequate ventilation so you don't smother or overheat them. I wait until the seedling has completely busted from the shell before transferring into soil. this can take 2-3 days, sometimes I will lend a helping hand and remove the shell. Leaving the seeds in the paper towel too long will kill them. When I see the tap root just starting to emerge from the shell I'm usually transplanting the seedlings 24-48 hours after that. Make sure to check your seeds at least 2-3 times daily.

Northern_Otter Seeds hit the paper towel on 10-24-24 and I transferred them into 2.5" seedling pots 3 days later on 10-27-24. I start week 1 of veg when I see the first set of true leaves
appear which is typically 5-7 days after sowing seeds. The veg start date for this run is 10-29-24. The photos I post are always taken at the end of each week. Light height was 29"-31" power 30% average PPFD was 210-250 µmol/m²/s

Northern_Otter Up potted from 2.5" to 1 gallon pots,12 days after being moved from the paper towel. . During the transplant I Inoculated their roots, with Mycorrhizae and Beauviana bassiana. Watered in all the transplants with Recharge and RO/DI water. Below is the organic potting mix I blend at home. this is a water only recipe when the roots fill the pot its time for a top dress or transplant. Compost teas work if you need to push them longer in smaller pots.
Veg Soil Mix 1 Cu ft (7.5 Gal)
• 3.75 gal Fox Farm Happy Frog = 50%
• 1.12 gal compost/worm castings = 15%
• 2.65 gal aeration (pumice) = 35%
• Gaia Greens All Purpose 4-4-4 = 22.5 tbsp
• Montana Grow (SiO2) 76% silica = 3 cups
• Gypsum = 7tbsp
• Oyster shell flower = 7 tbsp
• Rock Dust 1:1 ratio basalt-glacial = 14 tbsp
• Charged Bio-char 2.5 % = 3 Cups
• Gnarly Barley = 1 cup
Northern_Otter Up potted from 1 Gal nursery pots into 5 Gal fabric pots. At the beginning of week 5 I turned the Evo 4 up to 40% power. light distance from canopy 29"-31" average PPFD 280-320 µmol/m2/s.

Northern_Otter End of week 6 Veg. I Lightly defoliated all 4 plants through out week 6, plucking a leaf here and there. On the last day of week 6 I got a little more aggressive with the defoliation. I also removed all lower branches that had foliage touching the soil or close to it.

Northern_Otter End of week 8 Veg. Took clones and did a heavy defoliation. I have not topped or done any LST with these ladies. Very uniform growth between these cultivars with #4 being much shorter than the rest. These plants have been a breeze to grow very low maintenance with great growth structure.

Northern_Otter I applied a top dressing on day 1 of flower, application rates below are for 5 Gallon pots.
-BAS Craft Blend=1/4 Cup
-BAS Worm Castings =1/4 Cup
-BAS Gnarley Barley =1 tbsp
I Mix these amendments in a bowl then work them into the top layer of soil. After I've worked the amendments in I layer that with 2-4 cups of worm casting and 1"-2" of potting soil and water In Recharge. The goal here is to keep the amendments moist so the biology can break them down for the plants. Letting your soil dry back to much will interfere with this processes which normally takes about 1-2 weeks.
Northern_Otter End of week 3 Flower. Upon opening the tent on day 18 of flower I was greeted by some very frosty flowers. It was like a switch had flipped overnight!
Starting heights of each plant on flip day were
#1=20.5" #2=20.5" #3=20" #4=14"
After 3 weeks of flower
#1=31.5" #2=30.5" #3=31.5" #4=24"
Percentage of stretch
#1=54% #2=49% #3=58% #4=71%

Northern_Otter Unfortunately Poddy Mouth #1 and #4 hermed on me I noticed at the start of week 4. Really hoping I cut them down in time before they threw pollen we shall see. Top dressed at the start of week 4 flower with the following.
1/4 cup Buildasoil craft blend
1/4 cup worm casting
2 tbsp Gnarly Barley
I work these into the top layer of the soil then cover that with 1"-2" of worm casting and amended potting soil and water in everything in with recharge.
Northern_Otter Week 6 plants are receiving 420-520 PPFD.

Northern_Otter End of week 7 flower and the senesis is on! These Poddy Mouth are on full display the nugs are absolutely coated in frost! The smell is great you get earth with sweet undertones on the tail end of the inhale. The trichomes are consistently milky from canopy level and down to the lower buds. At the end of week 7 I have plenty of Milky tricomes with a bit of Amber here and there. This girl is quick to finish flowering I will be chopping soon just letting her ripen.
I've grown 7 different varieties of feminized photo periods from Humboldt seed company now and the results have left me with mixed feeling about the seed bank. Every grow from Humboldt seed company has come with issues, such as bad germination rates, strange growth, weak plants, and Hemihedrites. On the other hand I've harvested some great flower from their genetics. Poddy Mouth was easy to grow with lots of strong side branching that will support the weight of the buds. These plants are easy to maintain I didn't Top or do any kind of training with these girls just some defoliation in veg and once in flower. 5 of 6 seeds germinated on this run I ended up culling 3 of the 5 plants by the end of the grow. Tossed 1 plant a few weeks into veg for stunted and strange growth. I culled two more plants 3-4 weeks into flower because they hermed on me. This variety of cannabis is a heavy feeder and extremely thirsty. These plants stand out in the garden and have fantastic bag appeal and easy buds to trim. The flavor and aroma profile is very pine forward on this cultivar It reminded me of the power of pine-sol baby. these buds are coated with trichomes and extremely sticky with a smooth smoke and potent effects.
@Kritkl, Well thank you! I decided to let these girls grow out naturally besides defoliation and removing some lower branches. They have been so good to me! Hoping to flip after 8 weeks of veg, we shall see. Old man winter has settled into southern Minnesota lowering day temps to 71℉-73℉ and slowing growth a bit but stay tuned I'm thinking it's gonna be a good one!
