Jake that mighty-freeze is looking healthy and is looking quite impressive! now is the mighty-freeze a autoflower strain? a few questions.. 1. how tall is she? 2. Whats the nut you are giving her. 3 How long has she been flowering for up to this point? 4. Whats the yeild (round about) that it's gonna produce? thanks. sorry for so many questions. :)
Well i just found out it was a autoflower. now have you tryed (or done) feeding molassess to you MIQ?
First of all, I'm stunned and excited about all of the responses and interest MIQ has been getting of late. I'm not used to this amount of activity in my log, except for my own hustling and bustling about. Thanks to everyone for paying ye ole MIQ log a visit. Now to get around to responding to everyone.
HBcubs2, I thank you very much for your comments and time spent reviewing my log. Since it's my first grow, there is not much good information from me, but hopefully you gained some understanding from the others who have responded to my log. Thanks again for stopping by - you're welcome anytime!Quote:

As for seed boutique, I am not blaming anyone at this point, and realize the beans could very well have been intercepted or otherwise lost in the mail - it wouldn't be the first time the U.S. Mail had lost something; but, I was/am hoping the beans were not intercepted. I'll keep my fingers crossed they may still be on their way. I will contact the boutique again after 21 days of order have passed.Quote:

D9, thanks for stopping by again and for providing me information on the possible interdiction. I had been concerned about ordering beans, but read somewhere that Customs interdiction normally only resulted in a letter, such as you described, so I went forward with my order. I'm still hopeful that the beans failure to arrive is not due to Customs. Hopefully, boutique can track the order to give me a status once 21 days from order have passed. I'll see what they can do and let everyone know. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!Quote:

Shov, it's good to see you again, my friend! I'm still hopeful about my beans too, but if they don't arrive, then you're exactly right - that's the risk I took. Thanks for your kind comments on MIQ and my log. I was able to show a couple of family members your harvest pictures over this past weekend, and their jaws hit the floor! Congratulations again on your last grow and harvest! I know you and yours will have an incredible July 4th celebration! Thanks again for stopping by!Quote:

1) MIQ is an autoflower strain - something I had guessed and come to conclude based upon watching her develop and from others' comments. She is a cross of Mighty Mite and Friesland, and she is a wicked smoke - based upon my experience with her ancestor(s). A very social and peppy high.
2) MIQ is probably around 1' to 1 1/2' in height. I haven't ever formally measured her.
3) During veg I gave her some Superthrive, based upon at first 1/2 measurement, then later upon full recommended dosage. Not long after she began blooming, I have been giving her Green Light Super Bloom - at first 1/2 dosage, and now a full dosage. However, without fail, after every flower feeding I have given her, it has rained buckets, so I'm guessing most, if not all, of her flower nutes have been flushed from her bucket. But, I still only provide her nutes maybe once a week.
4) As of today, MIQ has been flowering for approximately 36 days - It appears the lst slowed down her flowering, so she'll probably take a bit longer. Her buds have not filled in much at all, and she appears to be adding new sites every day or 2. Only a few of her pistils have dried to hairs, and she shows no signs of turning amber. I have run across no information on how long Mighty Freeze take to flower, but am planning on just watching her development, and taking my harvest cues from her.
5) As for what MIQ may yield - your guess is as good as mine at this point. She is my first real grow, so I don't know what to expect. If I had to guess, I would be willing to venture she will produce somewhere from 1/4 to 1 ounce dried? That's a pretty big range, considering the low weight. At one point, I would have said she'd be closer to a 1/4, but her bottom bud sites are really developing following her lst, so she may surprise me yet!
Another good question - I have not provided MIQ any molasses, but have read a very extensive article on this board about such. I was going to jet out to the store to purchase some blackstrap molasses, but I'm terrible about being sidetracked. I have not made it at this point, and don't know if I will. The concept of the molasses is mighty interesting - essentially providing carbohydrates/sugars to the plant to greater assist it in bud development. It seems like I've read great things about it on here, but I will probably continue to be lazy and provide MIQ only the Super Bloom I have on hand.Quote:

Take good care out there, and drop anytime! I look forward to following your log too, my friend!
i also for got at what internode did you LST you MIQ and do you know if it would work with LR 2?
Good question - I have absolutely no idea. I hooked MIQ with a large paper clip about 3/4 of the way up her stem, then bent her down to hook the other end of the paper clip on the lip of the bucket. MIQ is a fairly dense lil' lady, so I don't know that I could even get an accurate internodal count if I tried.Quote:

Her main stem began budding up pretty thickly too only in the past few weeks, so I didn't see much need to lst her early on. But, now that I have lst'ed her, there is no doubt it was the right thing to do, as her bottom buds have really taken off! I'll probably post pics on or before Thursday of this week, due to ensuing July 4th celebration, and you will really be able to see how much MIQ's bottom buds have taken off, even since the last pictures were posted this past Thursday!
Thanks again for your questions, my friend! I truly do appreciate them. Maybe one day I can actually give you answers that will help?
you can lst literally any plant at any time. key word is low stress - if you start very young (1 to 2 nodes) than it is necessary to do it carefully and slowly. ive seen people lst their seedlings. i have topped plants and seen a definite stunt in progress (especially on youngins). but lst-ing should not stunt the plant, it is usually bending back up towards the light within 4-5 hours maxQuote:

oh and jake, I am wondering why your leaves look like reveg leaves if its autoflower, is it 100% autoflower? have you noticed any revegging? you will usually see new shoots either coming out the top or sides of the bud
greenatik, thanks for your visit as well as your impart of experienced knowledge of lst'ing! I am not certain if Mighty Freeze is 100% autoflower - there really isn't much information on Mighty Freeze on the internet. I should ask the friend of mine who was kind enough to pass some MF bud along, but I have repeatedly failed to inquire. As for the MIQ's lower bud leaf appearance, I feel it is attributable to the lst'ing, which seemed to allow the bottom bud sites to develop (re-veg). These sites really looked like D9's plants - check his log out! The leaf patterns were varied from 3 leaves to even 2 leaves and a single leaf in parts - very strange, but I attributed it to these lower sites finally obtaining a certain level of sunlight, thereby serving to throw them into a re-veg state.Quote:

Thanks for taking on camoxnhx's last question with a more thorough and experienced answer, greenatik! And, thanks again for stopping by, my friend!
Your Plants Are Lookin Great! Well At Least Since The Last Pics You Posted...
Good Luck, And Hope To See More Pics.:greenthumb:
Hi,
I have always chalked the stunting baring any obvious cause to genetics. The stunted ones were of different strains, different sexes, grown different years and different nutes. And I don't believe I saw any difference between them when they were seedlings.
I had to do some list'ng myself today even after topping they all started to cram up into the top of the GH.
If your order doesn't come through I'd wait until Dec to try again, I've always believed that with all the holiday mail traffic there is less of a chance of it getting intercepted.
So when is harvest day?
killfrenzi, I'm glad to have you in my log! I am about to post some pictures I just took a couple of hours ago. I've been busy catching up on others' logs, and got sidetracked from posting to mine. I hope you enjoy the new pictures! Be good out there!Quote:

As for the seed order, I went ahead and placed an order through Rhino. It was shipped yesterday, July 2nd, and from what I've read most folks receive their beans within 7-10 days - I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If this order doesn't make it, then I'm out of the ordering business, and will have to try to track down some beans through friends.
Harvest? I don't really have a date yet. Today MIQ is Day 63 of life for her, and she has been flowering for approximately 39 days - working on 6 weeks. Her new buds are still a bit thin, so I figure she has at least 3 weeks left, but will continue to monitor her progress, giving her the axe once she really shows some amber.
Thanks for coming back by, luna! I hope to see you more often!
