Gush Mints

Hardening off outdoors after the last frost is crucial; aim to transplant when night temperatures consistently stay above 8°C. In Bristol, that often means late May to early June for best results.

Expect a flowering time of around eight to nine weeks under good conditions. Outdoor plants planted early and kept healthy will hit that window but watch for local weather shifts.

Use a balanced vegetative feed early, then switch to lower nitrogen and higher phosphorus and potassium in bloom. Supplement with calcium and magnesium if you see tip burn, especially in wet conditions.

Manage airflow, remove lower foliage to improve circulation, and avoid overwatering; these are core steps for high humidity cannabis cultivation. Consider spacing plants further apart and using fans or natural breezes to keep buds dry.

Yes, topping, low-stress training and a light SCROG will increase yield and reduce height. Training also helps the canopy dry faster after damp weather.

Check trichomes with a loupe; aim for mostly cloudy with some ambers for balanced effects. Also monitor pistils and overall bud density as secondary indicators.

Yes, it responds well to organic composts, worm castings and bat guano during bloom. Organic feeds can improve terpene complexity if you maintain consistent soil health.

Aphids, slugs and sometimes spider mites can be problems in temperate gardens. Regular inspection and biological controls like predatory insects reduce chemical use.

Dry slowly at 10–15°C and 50–60% relative humidity for 7–14 days, then cure in jars, opening daily for the first two weeks. Proper curing preserves the minty and citrus terpenes.

Feminised seeds remove the need to sex plants, making the process simpler for beginners. They are still worth growing under supervision in the UK to manage humidity and pests effectively.
