Poddy Mouth

Poddy Mouth or Balanced Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 24% – 30% and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Gassy, Earthy, Sweet (Fuel-forward with dessert undertones) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (approx. 70 – 120 cm / 2.3 – 4 ft) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Heavy Feeder. High Nitrogen (N) demand in early veg; heavy Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) in flower..

This Balanced Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa) is of the Genetype: Photoperiod Feminized. The Poddy Mouth strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Poddy Mouth in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Balanced Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Poddy Mouth needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°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 45% – 60% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Balanced Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Poddy Mouth needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Poddy Mouth is 18/6 (Standard) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Poddy Mouth will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 65°F – 80°F (18°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% RH is achieved, the Balanced Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Photoperiod Feminized 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 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. Poddy Mouth 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; responds well to topping and ScROG. Sturdy branches but may need stakes for heavy buds..

The most exciting phase, when growing Photoperiod Feminized is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Poddy Mouth will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 60°F – 75°F (15°C – 24°C) and 30% – 40% RH (To maximize resin and prevent rot) 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 Poddy Mouth 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 Balanced Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous, mold-resistant, and sturdy. Exhibits a "slender morphology" with dense, top-heavy colas.

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Field Guide
The "Frost" Factor: Poddy Mouth is known for "flipping a switch" around Week 3 of flower, where trichome production explodes. Do not be discouraged if it looks "average" during the first two weeks of flower.

Harvest Timing: Because this strain has massive bracts and fewer stigmas (red hairs) than typical strains, do not rely solely on "hair color" to judge ripeness. Use a jeweler’s loupe to check for milky/amber trichome heads.

Feeding Strategy: This is a hungry plant. It can handle higher PPMs than many dessert-crosses, but ensure you provide a "clean" flush in the final 10–14 days to preserve the gassy/sweet terpene profile.
