Ringo's Gift

Ringo's Gift or Hybrid (60% Sativa / 40% Indica) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 1% – 7% (Depends on phenotype) and CBD levels ranging from 10% – 20% (Ratios range from 1:1 to 24:1). Known for its Earthy, Minty, Citrus, and Spicy-Pine profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 3 – 5 feet (Indoor) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate to High; benefits from organic soil and micronutrients.

This Hybrid (60% Sativa / 40% Indica) is of the Genetype: Sativa-dominant Hybrid. The Ringo's Gift strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Ringo's Gift in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Hybrid (60% Sativa / 40% Indica) is 6.2 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Ringo's Gift needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 80°F (21°C – 27°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 55% – 65%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Hybrid (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 Ringo's Gift needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Ringo's Gift is 18/6 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Ringo's Gift will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 68°F – 78°F (20°C – 25°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% is achieved, the Hybrid (60% Sativa / 40% Indica) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Sativa-dominant 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 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. Ringo's Gift 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; highly recommended to top early to manage lateral growth.

The most exciting phase, when growing Sativa-dominant Hybrid is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Ringo's Gift will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 72°F (18°C – 22°C) and 35% – 45% 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 Ringo's Gift 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 Hybrid (60% Sativa / 40% Indica) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Dense canopy with thin Sativa-like sun leaves; stretches modestly

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Strategy & NotesPhenotype Hunting: Ringo’s Gift is known for phenotypic variation. You may see a "short/squat" Indica lean or a "stretchy" Sativa lean. If growing from seed, keep notes on internodal spacing early on.The "Purpling" Effect: Toward the end of Phase 3, dropping your night-time temperatures to around $60\text{°F}$ can trigger beautiful purple and gold hues in the fan leaves, a trait inherited from its Harle-Tsu lineage.Aroma Evolution: Early on, it smells like fresh-cut grass and pine. By mid-flower, expect a pungent "skunky cheese" and "peaches" aroma. Carbon filters are a must if discretion is needed.Feeding Tip: This strain loves organic amendments. If you use synthetic nutrients, start at half-strength, as it can be sensitive to "tip burn" if Nitrogen is too high during the transition to flower.
