Gush Mints - Week by Week Grow Diary & Strain Review

This Gush Mints run doesn’t read like a highlight reel, and that’s the compliment. SkunkyDog420 set up a small indoor grow, picked a sensible light, trusted the BioTabs system, and mostly stayed out of the way.

No chasing numbers. No mid-flower panic. No heroic last-minute fixes. The notes repeat themselves because the plant kept doing the same thing every week: growing clean and staying happy.

From seed to chop, the cycle ran 113 days, wrapped up at Flowering Day 63, and earned a straight 10/10 from the grower. Easy grow, strong smoke, sweet nose. Sometimes the quiet ones are the keepers.

Grow Setup

Grow Diary

Weeks 1 & 2 – Vegetation

Gush Mints came up clean and didn’t waste time getting comfortable. Over the first two weeks she moved from 3 cm to 7 cm, sitting under 18 hours of light with 25 °C days, 18 °C nights, and 50% humidity.

pH started at 6.2 and settled quickly at 6.1, where it stayed for the rest of the grow. Watering was intentionally light at 0.1 liters, letting roots hunt instead of swim.

BioTabs biology was introduced early, starting with Mycotrex and Bactrex, then layering in GuerrillaTabs, Silicium Flash, and Startrex. Nothing flashy happened here, which is exactly what you want at this stage.

The grower summed it up the same way he would for most of the run: she’s growing well and causing no problems.

Weeks 3 & 4 – Vegetation

By the end of Week 4 the plant was sitting at 17 cm, still under 18/6 lighting. Daytime temperatures eased slightly to 24 °C, nights stayed at 18 °C, humidity held at 50%, and pH stayed parked at 6.1.

Watering crept up from 0.25 to 0.5 liters as the roots filled out the 7-liter pot.

Growth stayed even and unforced. Leaves looked relaxed, spacing stayed tidy, and there was no sign the plant wanted anything extra. SkunkyDog420 didn’t change course, and the plant didn’t ask him to.

Weeks 5 & 6 – Vegetation

Weeks 5 and 6 are where Gush Mints really settled into herself. Height moved from 21 cm to 28 cm, humidity dropped to 45%, and watering increased to 1 liter as the plant started drinking with purpose.

Feeding simplified to Orgatrex, with the dose bumped in Week 6 as growth picked up.

At this point the grower noted it was the last week of veg. No rush, no hesitation — just a plant that looked finished with leaf-building and ready to stretch.

Week 7 – Vegetation

Week 7 felt like a deep breath before the flip. Gush Mints reached 33 cm, still on 18/6, with 24 °C days, 18 °C nights, 45% humidity, and pH 6.1. Smell was logged as weak, which tracked — she hadn’t turned the terp volume up yet.

Watering stayed at 1 liter, Orgatrex continued, and the tone of the notes shifted from observation to anticipation. Everything looked lined up for flower.

Weeks 8 & 9 – Flowering

The switch to 12/12 kicked off a clean, controlled stretch. Over these two weeks the plant moved from 40 cm to 51 cm, never getting leggy or awkward.

Temperatures held at 24 °C day / 18 °C night, humidity stayed 45%, and pH didn’t budge.

Bio PK 5-8 came in alongside Orgatrex, and the plant responded exactly how you’d hope — early bud sites set, structure locked in, no stress signals.

This was one of those flips where nothing dramatic happens because everything was done right beforehand.

Weeks 10 & 11 – Flowering

By Week 11 the vertical growth was done, topping out at 57 cm. Smell picked up noticeably and was logged as strong, the kind of scent that makes you double-check your filter.

Watering increased slightly to 1.2 liters to keep up with peak demand.

Buds started stacking for real here, resin showed up early, and the plant never flinched. The notes stayed calm because the grow stayed calm.

Weeks 12 & 13 – Flowering

These weeks were about patience. Height stayed at 57 cm, daytime temps nudged up to 26 °C, nights stayed at 18 °C, and humidity held at 45%. Watering remained 1.2 liters, feeding stayed the same, and the plant just quietly added weight.

Nothing to chase, nothing to fix. This is the part of a grow where experience shows — knowing when not to touch anything.

Weeks 14 & 15 – Flowering

Late flower arrived without surprises. Aroma stayed strong, buds kept tightening, and watering eased back to 1 liter. Feeding simplified to Orgatrex only, letting the plant coast toward the finish.

By Week 15, SkunkyDog420 described the buds as rock hard, which is usually the payoff for a steady hand earlier in the run.

Weeks 16 & 17 – Harvest

Harvest came at Flowering Day 63, logged in Week 16, with the official harvest entry following in Week 17. Final height stayed 57 cm. At chop, the plant looked the part and smelled even better.

Post-harvest feedback was short and confident: strong high, sweet taste, fresh floral aroma. The grow earned a 10/10 and an Easy rating without hesitation.

Detailed Observations & Reflections

What stands out here isn’t a single moment — it’s the lack of drama. pH barely moved, nights stayed locked at 18 °C, and humidity dropped right on schedule.

The soil biology had time to establish, and the plant never got pushed out of its comfort zone.

Feeding followed a sensible arc: biology first, simplified veg, bloom support when it mattered, then a clean taper. Structurally, Gush Mints stretched once, stopped, and spent the rest of flower filling out instead of reaching.

This is what a dialed-in, low-ego grow looks like.

Gush Mints: Final Result and Strain Review

Gush Mints wrapped up after 113 days, harvested at Flowering Day 63, and finished at 57 cm. The grow asked very little from the grower and gave a lot back in return.

According to SkunkyDog420, the smoke delivers a very strong, full-on high, backed by a sweet flavour and a fresh, floral nose.

More importantly, the strain proved easygoing from start to finish — no curveballs, no babysitting, no stress.

A dry yield number wasn’t provided in the diary and isn’t guessed here.
