Day 45 power is restored and we are back at it! I moved #2 under the viparspectra lights and lowered her down a bit from it.(she was either too hot or over watered. Either way this should help by dimming the light and encouraging roots to do there thang) I'm kinda embarrassed but I stunted #2 during transplant last week. She is finally starting to grow. I just over watered everybody during transplant.
Day 46 nothing new to report. Theh are acclimated to the new pots, finally and are in cruise control. A personal observation, when I grow the rest of these seeds I'm not stopping or training. They're just too beautiful on their own!
Day 48:
Straight cruise control. I wanted to take so pics to show the pre sleep drop. They're above.😊 #1 is really growing. I expect they will be in flower shoes by week 9 and hope to flip on week 10
Day 49: tried to upload some pictures and videos today but the app wouldn't operate my camera 🤷♂️ oh well... I watered #1 today. She is officially in overdrive just growing fast!! (You get measurements tomorrow at the new week!) The good and bad of this week is #2. She definitely stunted during transplant. Probably from over watering during it. So to help promote root growth I topped her 4 main tops. And lowered her 3' from the Optic8+ It worked like a charm too!! All her leave are turning up praying again rather than being water logged and her new tops are bright green and growing! Bingo bango!

In the last 2 pics from this week you can see #1 leaves "tacoing" I've read this indicates heat stress, but the lights are over a foot above, great airflow and surface temp is only 78°. What's the deal? @hso do these girls like cool climates??
Hey man, just here with some unsolicited advice , just ignore it if it's not welcome 😅 looks like the very start of magnesium deficiency: you can tell by the yellowing between the veins of the leafs - add calmag to the feed or as a foliar spray two times a week the issue should stop spreading. Basically Mg related issues are pretty common when you mess with the lights ... Hope this helps ! 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the thought I'm gonna look into it after work. They just got into bigger shoes a week or so ago so the deficiency maybe from the old smaller pots. Either way thanks
Best of luck with the grow my friend and thank you for choosing our Chocolate Mint OG for this adventure on the grow diary platform👍
Looking good at this early stage of growth👌
Please keep the diary update coming as we really want to follow this grow along 🙏
With love from Humboldt County✌️
Kind regards

@Elysian_gardens710, Everyone wants The New by Sherbinski 👍
We have a couple of grows up on Grow Diaries platform and more planned 👊
Maybe after this grow we can talk about sponsoring your next grow 👍
Kind regards ✌️

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, thank you for looking! I update on here ever Tuesday and on my Instagram about daily lol I am a huge fan of your gear! I have some Sapphire Scout I'm popping soon! And wish I could get ahold of The New. Thanks again!!
Love the answer to the questions guys. Especially the bit about hydrogen peroxide. Super handy! However for me it was heat. Just a sensitive girl. Runoff is exactly as expected. She is drinking, and drying regularly. I lowered her another foot from the lights and that seems to help. Temps are in the 80s right now and it cant be helped 🤷♂️
@Cannibalgardens, I cant! Started flower this week. I also put 1 of the Choc Mints outdoors in my outside garden because they are flowering outdoors in my area now
Looking healthy and growing at a steady pace, just what we want to see at this stage of growth 👌
Looking great from Humboldt County✌️
Kind regards

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, sound great I've had my eye on OGKZ for a minute 😉 I'll be ordering both that and ASD this week. Reccomend a bank? I'd like an HSO approved grow on here. Thanks for the kind words! -Elysian Family
@Elysian_gardens710, I would definitely Look I into
OGKZ
Sugar Breath
Gorilla Breath
Amherst Sour Diesel
You won't go far wrong with any of these HSO ladies 👍
Maybe even our latest colab The New by Sherbinski could be a good fit for your garden?
Keep the updates coming my friend👊
Kind regards ✌️

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, hey thanks guys!! I'm running at least 6 different strains and I think Choc Mint is my favorite as far as veg is concerned. Her growth is beautiful! I'm thinking of running the remaining 3 beans along with 5 sapphire scouts I have of yours next! Around August 16th. I'd like to round it out with a trifecta of HSO. Any recommendations??
@MG2009, thank you very much!! I wanted to do a very detailed diary for this strain as I have plans to pheno hunt it later and want to know how it behaves

Nice to see another Chocolate Mint OG grow entering bloom (12/12) on the grow diary platform 👍
Let the flower show begin🤗
With love from Humboldt County✌️

Chocolate Mint OG hitting mid bloom and packing on some serious weight 🤗
Big fat buds dripping in trichomes, what's not to love 👌
Until next time buddy 👊
Kind regards ✌️

Our CMOG plants seem so similar!
My one girl is super dark with the big main colas and my big girl that I trained down a lot more to stay at the same height has the single bud sites all across except for 4ish bigger colas.
My big girl also needs way more feedings to keep up since I'm in ProMix peat/soilless, definitely switching to soil for next grow 👊
I know what you mean about a super quick flower/stretch with the CMOG!
I don't know if it was pent up from the long veg but I had Trichs so fast in week 1 that I thought it was mildew and by the middle of week 2 the stretch seemed done.
Already seeing signs of buds growing among the pistils and it seems the smell should start to skunk up by the end of next week.
Excited to keep an eye on yours as we're on the same flower sched 👍
