Mentha de Croco Bx1 F2

23_GG_GROW Good things are known to last longer. Slowly is a good word here. She is slowly growing. Already a different appearance.

23_GG_GROW Yeeeeah, "slowly" was the word, right?! Slowly it's going STEEP, SLOWLY and STEEP hits it. PPFD is neither too much nor too little at 300, and at 700 it behaves the same way. Very interesting 👍

23_GG_GROW Weeks 3 and 4 went more sideways than upwards, but it finally worked for a cutting. The leaves are more like savoy cabbage than fern or webbed or croco, I'm really curious about what this one will turn into. Visually, it's something completely different. And the good thing is it's hungry for light and nutrients. 700 ppfd and already in the 100% Vegi schedule with praying leaves all the time. No signs of over or underfeeding, color-wise, you can't really say anything about the leaves 😂. Nice journey.

23_GG_GROW So the Croco is stable in the 11L pot and has gained quite a bit in size and height. Since I top every plant and then train them with LST or mainlining or some kind of Scrog, whatever I'm doing, I can say that the Croco handles it well. I really mean breaking stems when I say breaking; very sturdy stems. I've tied her down to the max without breaking any stems. It took a bit, but now she can stay in this state until Sunday, and then it's off to flowering. I'm using the full Plagron nutrient lineup; hungry lady. And she's handling the cold very well.

23_GG_GROW Am Samstag 14.02 ging es in die Blüte. Seit dem wurde nur die oberen beiden Triebe nochmal mit LST in die Breite erzogen damit alles so auf ca ein Level kommt. Licht 90% gemessen mit dem VBR 100 PAR Messgerät 900-1000 Ppfd auf der Fläche, umso höher sie wird Desto mehr Ppfd bekommt Sie. Anzeichen für eine Überdüngung oder Windbrand sehe ich nicht. Das Croco Blatt ist auch echt Wirsing Brokkoli Style. Super Interessante Pflanze. Aber dafür das Sie sich Minimal strecken soll ist die gut unterwegs. Sie bekommt 1,4EC bei einem 6PH. Drain ist 2EC und 6PH, Regenwasser ist einfach nur geile.

23_GG_GROW Week 2 is in progress. Little stretch they said....100% we've got already 🤳. Light and nutrients: 1000 Ppfd at the edges and in the core 1250 Ppfd full Plagron feeding schedule and the little one is making Praying Leaves, so she's definitely hungry. Leaf structure? No idea, I have a Webbed / Duckfoot Croco Style, or Savoy Broccoli Style. Croco has what I've seen like a normal leaf but with Croco Style, mine have grown together and only separate after 50%. Let's see what happens in week 2. So far, there's 2.2L of water every 2 days.

23_GG_GROW So little stretch it really doesn't have. We are now from 14cm to 42cm and it still wants to grow taller. Well, that's how it is when you grow a strain you know nothing about 😘

23_GG_GROW Pray my Mutant.

23_GG_GROW Praying stays at maximum!

23_GG_GROW It stinks and gets fatter. Besides watering, you don't have to do anything with her. Great smell, very sweet lemon with fruit and a slight chemical cleaner aftertaste.

23_GG_GROW She stands and enjoys the sun and fertilizer.

23_GG_GROW Stands there and stinks and is getting fatter. Pretty relaxed. Had a small deficiency, but that's been fixed.

23_GG_GROW It's getting heavier and no bud can stand without support. It's tied up in chains (rubber wire) and steel pipes (plastic). It should actually be done, but the trichomes just say it's not ready yet.

23_GG_GROW Man, I'm really pissed off that I put so much emphasis on the drain and didn't grow by eye. I've ended up with some serious deficiencies and left so much potential on the table. It took a good 3-4 weeks to get the plant from a pH of 5.1 in the drain to a 6.0, it was really no fun. But it's a good genetic; the main buds are all bending over one by one because they're soooooo massive and huge that I can't support them anywhere anymore. It's crazy that the banana bud, gigantic in size, isn't molding. I cut open two main buds, massive fat dense sickly dense buds. But not a single trichome is brown. I think it's due to the messed-up pH, etc., that it's taking forever.
