#2 Diary by fabi420 - Chocolate Mint OG / Clones / Living Soil

Oh they are ready to grow!! Absolut Beauty’s and I love your patience to wait and clone it out this grow will be amazing m. I would have been impatient and grown the two original

Thank you very much.
I didn't have any space for the little ones at first, so I kept them small for a very long time and by cloning I got a few weeks time until my tent was free

1st update - after 2 weeks

These are my little Chocolate Mint OGs now.
They are now 7 weeks old since cutting and have been in the big pot for 3 weeks.
There is not much to say. They look healthy and happy. Front right lagged behind a lot but seems to be growing normally now.
I spray them with a mixture of water, olive oil and soap every 3 days to treat thrips.
That's it for now, thanks for reading!

Maybe look at topping these down to same size, this strain left un-topped may get really tall. Also id be looking at flipping them sharpish if your gonna leave them cus looking at them now they will fill that room in no time both in height and width its gonna be bursting at seams , but if you top around 2 or 3 inches away from each, so they are all same height, you could easily give them a week to 10 days to recover and start growing out then you flip to bloom. Personally id be doing latter suggestion Fabi. If you top them maybe use a few tops as cuttings cus from what i been told and seen this looks a corker of strain.

If you do the cutting thing i find this way more or less bomb proof, basically i just chop top away and stick it in a small pot of wet coco with 1ml of A&B in. I then stick a pop bottle over top that`s been sprayed inside and leave it alone for a few weeks or so till its rooted, it shouldn't need touching again for any reason. If ya not gotta spare light stick it under a lightbulb so as its warm it be sound.

Greetings, thank you for this suggestion!
Actually, I planned to just let them grow nice and big because I have 2m of space to the top.
But I totally agree with you about the space on the sides. Because of this, your suggestion is really good and makes me think.
But I won't cut any more cuttings because I've said to myself that I'll finish with this strain first and maybe try the newly crossed ChocoMintOG from Humboldt again.
But there is time for all that.
Yes, I will now seriously consider your suggestion, I'll have a look.

Topping 2 or 3 inch from tops of the fuckers and flipping in 7 to 10 days Fabi, you just know it makes sense It'll be wall to wall spears in no time mate.

They are coming along lovely Fabi.

Hey scoops, do you really think it's a good idea to top this strain?
I don't have much experience with topping, but to me the structure of the plant doesn't look that great for topping.
I have this thought because the nodes are quite irregular.
What do you say?
When considering putting your plan into action, I noticed this.
All the plants I've topped so far have had regular nodes. That means always two together, or always two outgoing branches per node, depending on what you call it. The ChocoMints only have one outgoing branch per node.

do you see what I mean? They grow like a zig zag.

If you can't get the seeds any more, can you stress one of them enough to turn it hermaphrodite put it on its own and collect the seeds?

Hey mate, this should be possible. A buddy of me has done the same thing one time

I've just read a post by Duke on How to make your own Feminised seeds. Take a look at it. I've also read that taking a cutting off a flowering plant will turn the cutting hermaphrodite and that cutting will give feminised seeds. Good luck.
