Midnight

Midnight or Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60% Sativa / 40% Indica) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 10% – 13% and CBD levels ranging from 8% – 12% (Known for 1:1 or 1:2 ratio). Known for its Balanced / Therapeutic (Functional High) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium to Tall (Significant stretch in flower) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate (Prefer organic/balanced regimen).

This Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60% Sativa / 40% Indica) is of the Genetype: Proprietary Tikun Olam Sativa x Undisclosed Hybrid. The Midnight strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Midnight in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60% Sativa / 40% Indica) is 6.2 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Midnight needs to maintain a target temperature of 75°F – 85°F (24°C – 29°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60% Sativa / 40% Indica) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Midnight needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Midnight is 18/6 (On/Off) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Midnight will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 80°F (21°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% is achieved, the Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60% Sativa / 40% Indica) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Proprietary Tikun Olam Sativa x Undisclosed Hybrid is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 (On/Off) for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Midnight is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High (Excellent for SCROG and LST).

The most exciting phase, when growing Proprietary Tikun Olam Sativa x Undisclosed Hybrid is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Midnight will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12 (On/Off). Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 35% – 45% (Minimize mold risk) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Midnight is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60% Sativa / 40% Indica) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous, narrow-leaf structure, dark foliage

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Field Notes
The "Purple" Factor: Its name comes from the deep purple/black hues the leaves take on during the late flowering stage. To maximize this color, drop your Phase 3 (Late Flower) night temperatures by about 10°F (5°C-6°C) compared to day temperatures.

Training Strategy: As a Sativa-dominant hybrid, "Midnight" can be stretchy. Using Low Stress Training (LST) or a SCROG (Screen of Green) net is highly recommended to manage the height and ensure light reaches the lower nodes, where those resinous buds develop.

Feeding Caution: This strain is generally robust but can be sensitive to over-fertilization. Start with 50-75% of the recommended nutrient strength and increase only if the plant shows signs of hunger (lightening of lower leaves).

Pest Resistance: It is noted for being relatively hardy and resistant to common pests, making it a great choice for those still dialing in their environment.
