Setup Checklist for Growing Kush Mints Seeds

Indoor Setup

• Tent: 3×3 ft or bigger
• Lighting: Full-spectrum LED (400-600 W)
• Ventilation: Inline fan + carbon filter
• Medium: Soil or coco + perlite blend
• Pots: 3–5 gal fabric
• Water pH: 6.2–6.6
• Nutrients: Balanced veg & bloom + Cal-Mag

Outdoor Setup

• Climate: Warm, dry finish conditions preferred
• Soil: Rich, airy, slightly acidic
• Height manageable (45–50″) — good for tighter spaces
• Harvest window: Late September to early October

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
