Organic Grow-Humboldt Chocolate Mint OG

[PaganRich]

Well, she`s looking very mellow

 

[PaganRich]

Coming along okay though the temps in the veg tent have been around 28-29.5C for quite some time now...looking forward to cooler temps coming in soon. Had a feed and a spray with Plant Magic, a foliar spray I`ve used in the past with some good results-I use it mainly in the early to mid stages then just stay on compost feeds when they get closer to the Flip

 

[PaganRich]

I`ve removed side growth and started to grow roots on cuttings. Neem oil foliar applied and watered. Structuring started and doing alright

 

[PaganRich]

This lass has grown a tad more `stretchy` than I prefer-a bit like Pretty Lights from COTC or Barney`s LSD (Which turned out a tad too strong for me-phew) so I flipped her a couple of inches shy of preference in anticipation of the Stretch

[PaganRich]

Well, it`s been a bit of fun `n games with this lass...Pics 1-2 show her getting ready for a Neem foliar spray which I do weekly. I`ve had a real problem with this lass...for some reason drainage, which overall is good, hasn`t helped and with her not drinking, the soil remained very, very damp however she dehydrated and so I`ve been watering-lightly-the centre and leaving the outer edges to further dry. This has made feeding her slightly difficult as she`s out of kilter with the others and I only use compost teas so even with a bit of leeway it`s not come to much. Saying that though, she is just over 2 weeks I believe from first defol and she`s doing alright. With my limited skills set she does challenge me watering wise but I reckon the next one will be an improvement-hopefully. Will do 2nd defol 8 days time but it will be light

Stop that!

"my limited skills"
my ass

look at what you have accomplished, what you have learned, under the most adverse of conditions




and, I want to know if it really tastes like chocolate mint

 

[PaganRich]

LurkingInTheGrass Thank you for that mate, that was kind of you to say that I still shudder at the word spidermite....I have to say that recently I went through a very heavy chocolate munchies phase, mainly the orgasmic Wispa Bar (organ music playing dramatically in the background, flash of lightning, deep rumble of thunder) and man alive, there really isn`t much out there to beat `em but then I decided to white sugar detox and only eat fruit sugars...well, I`ve just made it into the kitchen and discovered that over the course of last night whilst watching the amazing Peaky Blinders first season (awesome) stoned I`d ate three bags of satsumas-roughly 21 in total....21 satsumas...that`s a hell of a lot of satsumas and I could still murder a Wispa

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

I am familiar with the power of the wispa, have succumbed more than once.

The satsuma had it coming, sitting there, all cute and orange

LurkingInTheGrass I`m currently contemplating pizza for breakfast

 

[s62]

Damn. I’d love pizza for breakfast. Frosted Flakes, here :/

 

[PaganRich]

s62 Well, had that then a choc bar as well then a mate popped round & said fancy another breakfast in Glastonbury and now back home, stuffed, after a very nice sausage and bacon seeded granary sandwich...it`s turning out to be one of those days. Reckon it`s a lazy afternoon watching Season One of Peaky Blinders...and nothing more to eat

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

NICE - pizza for breakfast was always one of my favorites. next day pizza is as good (sometimes better), oven toasted, mmmmmmm

LOL
my keto breakfast will likely not be approved, by most
'Lurkings interpretation' of Bullet Proof coffee:
big old cup of coffee + coconut oil + MCT oil + chocolate/caramel protein powder (mostly for flavour, not for any quantity of protein)
stir it with a milk frother, and it will foam up like a cappucino

The first one, ever - is not your favourite.
but you get used to it, now I find that a regular coffee is almost 'thin'

 

[PaganRich]

LurkinginTheGrass Sounds right up my street that, mate

 

[PaganRich]

Well, I`m stumped. This is my second attempt with this lass. I would post a pic but f##k it. Three days ago she was mega vibrant. I`d always had probs with watering her and the previous strain lass-they seemed to hardly ever want to drink then next minute, leaves are around their ankles but pre-empt that and overwatering symptoms set in. Anyway, very caggy with this lass and she was fine then she had a feed...okay for 12 hours then everything just went tits up-totally limp...soil wasn`t compact, even used a thin stick through the airholes to add smoother drainage but for some reason she went from thirsty and happy to non drinking and almost dead and I didn`t water heavily either. Drainage was fine, not too close to lights...looks like a root problem so went to throw her out and decided to have a butchers at the root ball-it was fine, big, dense good looking rootball and not drenched either but it was a decent weight but still not drenched/satuated and loads of perlite throughout-very strange. So, I repotted her with dry soil around the root ball which was roughly 3.5 gallon pot size in a 5 gal pot so a good size. Curiousity really but plan to chop her Sunday and just did this to see if it was a water issue and whether she would improve. I have one seed left but my heart`s not in with this strain...it`s not bad seeds, it`s me-I`m just not getting it right with this strain...so that`s it....I will try that last seed and probably sprout within the next couple of weeks but I`m calling it a day with this page...sorry folks

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Nothing wrong with setting a strain to the side, so you can gather more ammunition (some people spell it knowledge 😁 )

One of the podcasts I recently picked up, is a guy interviewing brèeders (not as interesting as I hoped, mostly stories about their life, but I am still listening?)
Anyway, there have been a couple 'nope, that strain won't grow for me' stories

Green thoughts brother

 

[SoOrbudgal]

No worries PaganRich I have the same issues with some autos and others on here grew the same strain same breeder had good results. Me I had runts budded way early mini auto. I too have 1 seed each of these strains i'm going to do them again but not real soon. I'm still "green horn" on my skills, just don't get to discouraged she may bounce back give her time.

 

[PaganRich]

LurkingInTheGrass SoOrbudgal Thank you for your words...I totally agree, I do much better with stubby indicas than slightly more leggy girls. Saying that, parts are valiently responding and I can`t help but support an under dog..problem being, she`s been under so much stress I fear hermies and probably only in this context could you get away with saying that and not be misunderstood

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh for sure Pagan let her ride. Who knows she may not turn into a Herman

 

[PaganRich]

SoOrbudgal Goring or Munster.....saying that I do like the Munsters, reckon they have the edge over the Addams Family-by the old gods I`m getting on and an even weirder fact was that I watched a programme on Goring just yesterday but I do like WW1 fighter
