Germination: Starting Your Kush Mints Grow
Use the tried-and-true paper towel method: seeds between two damp (not soaked) towels, covered and warmed (~70-75°F).
Once a ~½″ tap-root emerges, plant root-tip down about ½ inch into your moist medium.
⚠️ Avoid sealed bags, airflow is key to healthy germination.
Week 1: Seedling Stage
Your plant is freshly sprouted and needs a gentle environment.
Humidity: ~65–70%
Temperature: 72–77°F
Light: 18–24 h cycle, low intensity
Mist lightly or water around root zone (avoid over saturation)
Ensure a soft breeze to build stem strength
Expect true leaves emerging and a bright green colour.
Week 2: Early Veg + CAN Training
Growth begins accelerating; you can start canopy training to get more from your light.
Begin LST or mild SCROG canopy training to get even coverage
Feed with ¼-strength veg nutrients
Humidity: ~60–65% | Temp: 73–78°F
Water around edges of pot, not over watering
Your plant will begin to show branching and structure.
Week 3: Veg Expansion
Now the plant settles into full veg mode.
Height: ~10–14 inches
Increase nutrient feed to ~½-strength veg
Humidity: ~55–60% | Temp: 73–78°F
Optional topping above 5th node to promote multiple colas
You’ll notice the signature minty-floral scent becoming perceptible.
Week 4: Pre-Flower Transition
Your plant is preparing for bloom stretch.
Remove lower leaves that block light or airflow
Humidity: ~50–55% | Temp: 72–78°F
Tie down any tall branches, finish major training
Flip to 12/12 cycle indoors
Transition feeding to bloom nutrients
Pre-flowers begin to show. Flowering is almost here.
Week 5–6: Flower Initiation
Switch to bloom mode and watch buds begin forming.
Light: 12/12 cycle
Humidity: ~45–50% | Temp: 70–77°F
Use bloom nutrients (higher P & K, lower N)
Aroma evolves into floral-mint over diesel base
The plant begins to stack buds and thicken.
Week 7–8: Bud Formation
The thickening stage when bud sites swell and resin production increases.
Humidity: ~40–45% | Temp: 68–75°F
Maintain bloom formula and consistent watering
Provide support if branches become heavy
Expect heavy trichome coverage and strong floral-mint fragrance
By end of week 8 you’ll have dense, aromatic colas.
Week 9–10: Ripening & Flush
The final push to harvest time.
Begin flush with plain, pH-balanced water for 5–7 days
Temp: 65–70°F | Humidity: ~35–40%
Monitor trichomes: mostly cloudy with some amber
Harvest when pistils are ~70-80% darkened
Proper flushing gives smoother smoke and cleaner flavour.
Harvest & Curing
Dry: Hang plants in dark space for ~10–14 days at 60°F/55% RH
Cure: Place trimmed buds in glass jars; burp daily the first week
Let cure for 3–4 weeks to bring out rich floral-mint aroma and smooth profile
