Something is annoying with this app. I cant take pics with it. Hopefully it just the app permissions. Nothing too exciting yet this week. #2 has been struggling getting adjusted to the new pot. Where #1 took off. Idk what the difference is apart from the training methods. Having said that I have topped number 2 and fimmed her lower branches hoping that a little encourage root growth.. I've also had to do a bit of re arranging. So these are now elevated the highest and under mostly 2x 50w auto cobs. They both have supplemental lighting coming from the 2 viparspectra LEDs I have near them.
Day 52:
Watered both the girls today. They're drinking fast! I water till slight runoff and they get about 2.5 gallons every 36hrs or so. Also we raised the cobs a bit up to 24" from them.
Day 53 & 54
Nothing to say for day 53. Maybe I think #1 is getting a bit rootbound. I say this only because her leaves are curled like they are over watered yet the plant is dry. And she went in a growth spurt last week.
Day 54
I picked up some soil for transplant tomorrow. I am putting #1 into a 10gal bag. #2 I haven't decided yet.
Day 55:
I transplanted #1 today into a 10gallon fabric smartpot. I mixed the bottom soil with Fox Farms Ocean Forest because we are getting ready to flip to bloom and ocean forest has more P&K and less N. And that's what we want. Hopefully she doesn't shock. I inoculated #1s roots with Azos during transplant. Applying it gently and directly onto the roots.
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 ! 🚀
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

@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
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✌️
Kind regards

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 👍
