Hello! This is my first thread on RIU, and I’m excited to share my first grow as it is today.
I germinated 12 bud bag seeds from an ounce of CHRONIC MINT TART 50/50 Hybrid
What a strain to get accidental seeds from! Since germinating, I realized I’ll need to register for a grow license and did so immediately. I have a Medical Grow license by Health Canada and authorized to grow up to 25 indoor for medical use only.
Today is week 7 of vegetation and Day 1 of Flowering!
I’ve LST’d my plants (Low Stress Training) and trimmed fan leaves that were blocking bud nodes from light.
Out of 12 seeds, 9 made it this far.
4x2x5 Grow Tent
4” ventilation fan
Carbon filter
Reptile fogger (humidity)
Avg Temp 80-85°F
Avg Humidity: 50-60% Rh
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients triple threat
- Micro, Grow, Bloom (4ml each per 1L water)
pH of base water: 6.3 pH (same with nutes mix)
2x TS-1000 LED full spectrum lights
18/6 light hours up to today
Now: 12/12 light (day 1)
No sign of sex of plants yet, however, crazy thing is they all show signs of female plants.
Not likely for all to be female, but looking good so far.
ISSUES:
I had 2 plants become sick due to improper pH levels in soil/water
TREATMENT:
Flushed both plants with 3 times the volume of pH balanced water, as the size of soil cloth pot.
1 plant died, the other is thriving!
pH tester and TDS tester helped greatly
Trellis netting installed last night

Here are pictures
Anyone have any comments, thoughts, advise or wanna share anything
Enjoy!

Update on my 1st grow and all budseeds from Chronic Mint Tart buds:
ALL 9 plants are female!!
How is this possible!? They look gorgeous. Only issue is I’ve been under feeding them (1/3 the nutrients they should have had, up until week 1 of Flower stage)
LST, Topping and a shit ton of TLC!
See pics attached
Thoughts?

Week 7 update! Pushing these buds to 10 weeks, and starting week 7 today. All has been great so far! I feel I over defoliated throughout this grow, but also feel that, as a result, I’ve reaped thicker bud sites, and possibly developed more bud sites overall. 2 of the 7 plants showed signs of male polio sacks so they have been outdoors since week 3 or 4. All 7 plants have BOOMED!! Glorious buds and heavy Trichomes! Here are a few updated pics

That looks impressive! I'm also a Noob and about to undertake my first (outdoor) grow this season.

I have a question for you; how similar to the source bud was the end product? I have two bag seeds from my Sister In Law's home grow (they are very fastidious growers and grow really good bud indoor and out). She grew Pink Mango & Jack Herer via fem seeds from CropKing and both turned out great. Super potent and wonderful smoke. I have multiple seeds that came from those buds and would love to give them a shot. My Wife loves the effect of Pink Mango. Question is, what is the likelihood of these grows (if successful) ending up anything like the source?

As a side, I am also going with Lambs Bread (fem) and Apricot Kush (regular seed, but from purchased/cultivated seed bank, not bag). Have my 10Gal grow bags, soil recipe and mycorrhizal inoculant etc. Getting excited to start this season!

Really well done on the grow! Everything looks awesome.
