🌱 Germination Journey with Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! Today kicks off an exciting adventure with Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco genetics. I’ve got 10 regular seeds ready to sprout, and I’m looking forward to discovering some beautiful female phenotypes—and maybe even a standout male for potential future breeding. It’s been a while since I’ve worked with regular seeds, so I’m thrilled to dive in! Germination Process Overview: Here’s a step-by-step rundown of the germination setup and process, with a special focus on the equipment and nutrients that are helping these seeds thrive right from the start. Step 1: TheCannaKan Germination Pod 🌱 For germination, I rely on TheCannaKan—a device I’ve come to love and trust. It’s designed to create the perfect microclimate for seed germination, and within just 24 hours, the seeds started showing signs of life. By the 32-hour mark, they were all ready to be transferred to the next stage! I can’t recommend this gadget enough for anyone serious about getting strong, early growth from their seeds. • Why TheCannaKan? • Humidity Control: Ensures seeds stay hydrated without oversaturation. • Stable Temperature: Maintains an even temperature around the seeds, so there’s no shock or stalling. • Enhanced Oxygenation: Keeps fresh air circulating, helping prevent mold and ensuring seeds don’t suffocate. Step 2: Transfer to Root Riots & Aptus Holland Supplements 💧 Once the seeds were sprouted, I transferred them into Root Riots, known for their excellent water retention and structure that encourages strong root growth. Root Riots also have a pH-balanced, spongy texture that makes it easy for roots to penetrate, promoting sturdy, healthy root systems. At this stage, I started using Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster at 1ml/L each. Here’s why I chose these products for early growth: • Aptus Regulator (1ml/L): Helps strengthen the plants against environmental stresses by supporting cell wall structure. It’s a fantastic choice for giving young seedlings an early boost in resilience. • Aptus Startbooster (1ml/L): This product provides essential microbes and nutrients that stimulate root growth and early plant vigor. Especially for regular seeds, the early root development makes a noticeable difference in later growth stages. Step 3: Lighting with Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD 💡 For lighting, I’m using a Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED. For the germination stage, I’ve dimmed it to around 200 PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density), which provides just enough light for healthy, strong seedling growth without overwhelming them. • Why Low Intensity? • 200 PPFD ensures that young plants aren’t exposed to too much light, which could cause stress or stunting. This level of intensity is perfect for encouraging healthy development without risking “stretching.” • The FOG LED provides a balanced spectrum tailored to plant growth, setting up these young sprouts for success as they grow. Step 4: Environmental Control with TrolMaster Tent X Controller 📲 For monitoring and control, I’m using the TrolMaster Tent X Controller, which lets me dial in every aspect of the environment to make sure these little ones have the perfect conditions for germination and early growth. • TrolMaster Benefits: • Precision Control: Adjust temperature, humidity, and lighting all in one place. • Notifications: Sends updates in real-time to my device, so I can make adjustments as needed without being physically present. • Consistency: Maintains stable conditions around the clock, reducing stress on seedlings and ensuring they’re thriving. Grow Tips & Reflections: Germination is one of the most crucial stages in a plant’s lifecycle. Starting with strong genetics like Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco, combined with a solid germination setup and the right nutrients, creates the foundation for a successful grow. 💡 Quick Tips for Fellow Growers: • Hydration Balance: Don’t oversaturate! Moisture levels should be high enough for the seeds to sprout but not so wet that they drown. • Light Management: A low PPFD for young seedlings prevents stretch and keeps nodes tight, preparing them for a healthy vegetative phase. • Environment Consistency: Use a reliable controller like the TrolMaster Tent X to manage your settings, and consider monitoring tools for real-time adjustments. Shout Outs to the Community: Big thanks to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED lights, and TrolMaster for the amazing controller. Also, shout out to all of you in the growing community—you make this journey exciting and filled with endless learning. Let’s keep growing and sharing together! That’s it for the germination update! Next up, I’ll be monitoring growth closely to identify strong females (and maybe a standout male for breeding). Stay tuned for updates on our Mutant Mentha de Croco adventure—this is just the beginning!

All the baby's are in great shape the mbap's are taking to the scrog well loads and loads of bud sites The grape walker kush are getting nice and big I esspesially like the look of the mainlined/folded one structure is nice and open Now the gold glue by topping this seems to have really done it well more open branchy structure much Easyer on training this one is going to be interesting ......... Check out the insta for more @velk_1

Currently working 7am-10pm so making diaries a bit difficult at moment , I will do my best and get some nice harvest pics , this does look frosty ..

Going nice;))))

This girl is beasting doing really well good production this week nice size buds forming already compared to last week she's the tallest of the bunch bending bits of her under the trellis to try keep her level with the other two she's drinking well drying her pot every day having to water more 2.5-3 l to get good runoff loving her smells can't quite describe it it definitely smells kushy though nremoving odd fan leaves from the lower parts will keep trying to keep her level not much else to say thanks for reading happy growing guys

Completing their first week of bloom. They’ll be measured again on Sunday but going into flower they sat at 42”. There was a runt and I was able to hoist up the xxl autopot to even out the canopy before flipping. I did a heavy defoliation but you’d never know. I’ll wait until stretch is over and really get in there to open up the airflow. Super healthy and very vibrant. Constantly praying and up taking Lotus extremely well. I expect a 10-11 week bloom. Happy growing y’all.

👉The daily routine of twice daily fertigation has given me a small insight as to what Phil Conners may have gone thru. There has been promising changes however that re-assure me that the plant is indeed maturing and will finish soon. The top leaves are starting to fade, and a couple of amber trichomes have been spotted! So far the amber color is light, almost yellow, and should darken up a bit by harvest time. At the rate they seem to be getting cloudy/milky I could be harvesting in as little as 3 days, but that is just wishful thinking I'm sure. I'm hoping no more than 10 more days. But I will let the plant decide...as long as there are only a few clears and the rest cloudy then I will harvest. 👉I took one small cola tip bud from an upper level, secondary branch. It weighed 30g with leaves, 10g trimmed and when dried to 20% should be 2g. I did this to be able to inspect the buds with a little more stability when using the USB scope. Those pix are the first 6 on this page. 👉Nutrient mix is the same recipe: week 11 on the General hydroponics flora series drain to waste chart. I reduced the concentration to 1ms from 1.3. The saturation level for the pot is averaging around 1lt per fertigation. I give it 2.5l at lights on, and 2L 1-2hrs before lights off. For some reason this grow session there is a persistent/prolific algea growth on the outside of the pot (cloth pot). I have the same fan setup Ive been using all year. It may be that when I didnt spray the pot off for a couple week the algea got a firm hold on the pot. I use a pressure sprayer with a H2O2 solution (1gallon water with 60ml h202) to spray off the exterior of the pot every couple days. THis keeps it at bay somewhat. After harvest I will cut open the cloth pot to see if the algea extends inside the pot any and if has affected the roots. 👉 While trichome hunting is very kewl if good pictures are taken, its very frustrating to get a decent pic due to any slight shake causes the pic to blur. When doing daily eye loop inspections I dont turn off the grow lights or fans. But when trying to get pix I turn off all the fans and both grow lights. This helps a little when trying to take pix with the USB scope.I have the small scope mounted on a tripod and that eliminate my own movement, but just trying to focus proves to be tedious because any touch causes the image to shake wildly, which results in very slow progress as I search around the plant and try for decent pix. Today I got a tube extension set for my 35mm DSLR. It turned my regular 55mm lens into a macro lens. While its not the same as a regular macro lense, its way cheaper....35$ for the tube set as opposed to 300$ for an actual macro lens. THe high resolution allows me to get sharp images with a deeper feild of focus than the scope. I still need lots of practice and need to work on lighting. I included some cropped and un-cropped macro shots done with the camera. The other macro shots are the USB scope. You can see its still got plenty of clear, lots of cloudy, and an amber here or there. The areas that I have touched have strands of resin that look almost like spider silk. SOOOOOO frosty! Santa is going to really enjoy his milk and cookies when he visits my house.

This week, the Diamond Handz by Square One Genetics got........well sticky. She is frosting up nicely and smells like sweet candy. I am surprised by the stacking on these main branches 😃. There is not much to do for her as she has received her last feed already. All that is needed is wellness checks and watering.....I do not mind being in the Tent as the smells are soooooooooo Damn good 😏. I also tend to pluck out any yellowing or dying leaves until the end of flower!

On the start of week #6 for these fine ladies !! They are starting to put on some weight now this will be their last week with some Big Bud some Im really gonna pack it in there and then Im going to switch to Overdrive for the final stages of ripening ! A shout out to everyone who drops into the diary keep on keeping on folks ! AND a big shout out to Humbolt for letting me test some of there Pineapple Skunk ! -Happy Growing! Day#36F Things are really starting to frost up , They're gaining mass getting them ready for the final stage of growth !! Day#37F Watered 2L each whole line up ( PPM 1019 ) They are swelling up and getting ready to ripen up ! Day#38F Responding well to watering , frosting up nicely , swelling daily ! Day#39 n/a moving Day#40 n/a building grow room Day#41 n/a Day#42 watered whole line up but no pictures . Will update as of tomorrow

easy strain, havent tried it yet, watch out for humidity, Great experience, my first grow. 100% recommended for beginners. Thanks for everything growdiaries.

Flowers are fattening up nicely, she took a bit of stress here and there but she takes it with no problems. Endoboost hydro is keeping the roots safe. Now we are waiting for those tops to fatten up.

Day 53 Harvest in 18-20 days Day 58 Start flush Harvest in 12 days

Not much to do with Autos. I take a handful of leaves everytime I'm in the tent. Veg thru 2-3 weeks of flower.

Week 10 for Peyote Zkittlez by seedsman, She got a very light defoliation the other day but nothing crazy, if i remember correctly i think i may of also done a round of topping to her as well so i believe were at 64+ tops at this point. May not look it but shes definitely doing some growing😇 Still enjoying her structure.

The strain is awesome, very happy about Ak420, it's my first time growing this strain, I'm growing 3 plants of ak420 this is the pheno #1 as you guys can see and smells just like her 2 sisters, very sweet and floral aromas I cannot stop smelling those flowers, I'm super happy about this strain, would love to keep working with her💚❤️🧡 stay tuned to see how this lady performs at the end of the process! 👨‍🌾

the 3 Victory Kush F1 are in bloom for 12 days. The Zkittlez and Orange Sherbert have been in bloom for 6 days. the Zkittlez * 2, Orange Sherbert * 2 Blue Gelato # 41 * 1 and Sour Diesel have been in bloom since today. the Blue Gelato * 2, Her Majesty F1, Gelato and Blue Gelato # 41 * 3 will bloom approximately in 2 weeks. maybe the Blue Gelato # 41 * 3 also stays as a mom in the vegi chamber, because she is the mom of the Blue Gelato genetic, which is in the aero system.

July 27th Day 30 - 💧Fed 1L If above program 5.8EC last top feed before turn on auto pots. _______________________ July 28th Day 31 - 💧10pm mixed up 20L in the res. Turned on autopots filled up the trays made sure everything was working. Turned off the supply of water. ——— 1am noticeable decrease in water in the trays..

Don't know what day tbh, but let's say day 21. The plan is to keep two main branches and form them as the three XXX like the amsterdam flag and Amsterdam Genetics Logo. Stay tuned cause this could be awesome. She's growing again, last pic was 6 days after the topping/stripping.
