1st Post - 1st Outdoor Grow - Mighty Freeze

[jakezking]

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.

hey jake i have read thru your log i wanna say great job and she look:clap::dance:s awesome

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!

Hi,

Great log and a nice looking little lady. I have had stunted plants from time to time. On my last grow I had three Swiss Miss girls all started at the same time treated identically two grew to 5' while the third barely made 2. I also had a stunted White Widow...go figure.

I've ordered twice with Seed Boutique and both orders were here in 10 days. It may not be their fault your order could have been intercepted....

lunarose, I appreciate the information on your stunted plants. Any idea what caused yours to become stunted? I attributed mine to some interference by my dogs. It sounds like yours had the same conditions, but I didn't know if you had attributed the stunting to anything in particular, even if it was just a guess. 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.

Thanks for coming by my grow log, and hopefully you will stop back by again sometime. Be good out there!

I was going to mention this in my next reply, but will elaborate now since it has come up. I agree, and think if you still haven't received them, more than likely it wasn't the shop, but they were interdicted (not cool). I have never had any problems with them, or any shop I have dealt with for that matter, and would be more worried about Customs... I have had customs interdict a CIV substance and got a "love letter" from them about importation blah blah etc, but it was CIV and I had authorization to have it (though I never told customs, I just let them keep it). I don't know what they would do with seeds since they are CI. Anyway, hopefully you see them soon! I'll be back probably tomorrow to check on the log, as well as update my own. Happy and safe gardening, all!

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!

I'm looking forward to your grow log being updated, and I hope all is well with you and yours, my friend!

Good luck with your bean order. I guess that just happens sometimes. Your plant, she is doing really fine, man. Good job with the journal too.Shov

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!

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.

camoxnhx, thanks for the compliments on MIQ, bro! Here are a few responses to your questions:

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!

Well i just found out it was a autoflower. now have you tryed (or done) feeding molassess to you MIQ?

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.

camoxnhx, I truly appreciate all of your inquiries, and there is absolutely no need to apologize for asking questions. I appreciate your interest in my log and MIQ, and will always provide whatever knowledge/insight I may have. Since I am a newbie grower, I don't have much knowledge/insight, but am happy to provide what I do have.

Take good care out there, and drop anytime! I look forward to following your log too, my friend!
