First Grow - Organic Kmintz

@Ferenc, Thank you!

@Slurpy_Terpy, Good info on the genetics man! Thanks! I’m growing the Chempie main stem into a low spiral and will let the arms grow up. May HST and prune the arms if needed to keep even canopy during veg. I’ll check out your braincake journal!

@AccyStoner25, I have another friend growing kmintz, also same short internode distance... Mainling note: >I don't tie down the branches often enough for a flat canopy/horizontal growth. If you adjust the tying down every day (or two days) then you can get the branches to go more horizontal and be more efficient. For my lst I am 'lazy' since I have a bit too much time to veg before flowering (my flower room is full, need to wait till they are done which gives me 70-80 days veg and I only need 55-65 days veg depending on the strain - to fill my flower tent) Note on flower stretch for kmintz: So I called the breeder Ripper Seeds to ask how much they expect the kmintz to stretch, explaining my short internode slow veg pheno. They seemed very knowledgeable (not the case for most European breeder client services lol) - basically they say she will stretch 2.5x, and at least 2x in vertical height. This is comforting as I was scared she would go full indica and stretch only 1.5x 😅 So despite the slow vegging we should have more growth in the first 3 weeks of flower 😀 Chempie: ripper seeds description states it is sativa dominant, and 'produces long arms', for as far as I interpret this it means that it will grow much more vigorously than the kmintz in veg (basically like a normal vigorous hybrid) and will stretch 2-3x in flower. The differences in veg growth between the kmintz and chempie will be more pronounced after the first 3 weeks of veg, I suggest you focus the kmintz more on vertical growth and the chempie a bit more lateral so they end up similar height --> something like topping the chempie more often than the kmintz, possibly leaving a bit more side branching on the chempie (and removing most of the side branching on the kmintz) before flipping to flower should help with getting the kmintz to stretch more and the chempie to fatten up a bit more; However personally I find the best way to keep and even canopy height is to tie down the branches every day.... check my Brain Cake journal i made the branches stretch more horizontally by tying down often, this is the easiest/safest (and most time consuming...) way to have a high chance of having an even canopy. Good luck to you m8! My the terpenes be with you... 😀👊👍

@Slurpy_Terpy, Funny you mention the node spacing as that’s what led me to your Kmintz grow. I couldn’t get my wires in for LST and stopped to avoid damaging internodal growth. So I started looking through Kmintz journals and found your main line on Kmintz. I’m gonna do the same now. I have Ripper Seeds Chempie growing at the same time. It’ll be a long veg for the chempie so I should be good on the slow veg for Kmintz. Hopefully I’m not in over my head on my first grow!

@CreepyDrunk, Thanks man! I moved the Chempie to a new journal. She's growing fast!

@krenoime, Thanks for looking out! I stick my finger in about halfway up my nail to see if it’s dry before spraying. If it is wet, I hold off another hour. My cutoff for watering is two hours before lights turn off. Feeding will be more precise once I get them into the grow pots.
