Was a pretty smooth week for most the girls. Showing some steady growth. I topped all of the plants around day 12 other than the slurricane 7. Ph got a little high since the nutrient level was too low to buffer it at the beginning of the week. Slurricane 7 and sugar cane are the ones that took some damage. I think they will be ok though. I upped the nutrients to 1/4 tsp per gallon and the ph has held stable since then. Should be able to start some training the middle of next week and looks like we might be going 2 more weeks on veg before flipping them to flower depending on how this upcoming week goes. Guess you will have to show up next week to find out...

As if spring had sprung, the signs of wonderful bounty in the form of early flowers . I was unsure if to start bloom nutes or wait until next week , but as it’s so often the case if you look and listen , they speak . Another 4 weeks or so in my book , although it hasn’t been published. Until next time … happy growing .

Unfortunately, I realized quite late that the plants – or rather the tap water – were causing major pH issues. This became noticeable through dry leaf tips as well as light green and yellowing leaves. I’ve never had pH problems before, so I didn’t think to measure it again. After checking, the pH was around 8.5, which I have now lowered to 6 using a pH down solution. In addition to my usual BioBizz Bloom, I’ve now added Bloombastic and I’m hoping to report positive progress soon. The plant on the left is the most affected, even though it germinated at the same time as the one on the right. Of course, the damaged leaves can’t be saved, but the plant is still developing well, and I believe I’ll be able to harvest it without major issues. Both Sweet Gelato plants smell incredibly good and sweet, and the Afghan is growing nicely—robust and compact.

Another cold week, we are having around 2ºC Minimum temperature, and its really cold at night( I mean, for Spain, because if some Nortern people hear this may be laughting at me hahaha) But there is a range of hours when then sun hits directly the plant if its not cloudy, like 6h-8h, this if i dont have to roll out the awning, so the plant is protected when raining. Did not feed the plant until past the middle of the week, because i ovserbed that the flowers were developing slowly as im accostummed, probably because of the low temperatures, so i decided to give her the last feeding and start the flush at the end of this week, because i felt the plant was like at least 2 weeks from proper harvest, and still developing the flowers with white hairs... Im looking for something narcotic with a nice Therpenoid Profile so the later the better in my opinion, but without passing he Ripper Line hahaha :) So last feeding was like a fattening one... Higher Dose of nutrients for the plant, and later added some Micro Vita to the soil, 3grams, and until the end with water and some carbs in 1/2 irrigations ... What amazed me is the strenght of this plant, surviving these really low temperatures, growing a little slowlier, but without problems or buds, amazing plant, as amazing as beautiful, im in love with the colours.. So i hope you enjoyed reading this week Growmmies :) Have a nice week and dont forget to roll one ^^ Good vibezz.

10/5 Day 31. I've added a dehumidifier now that the plants are starting to show signs of pre-flower or flower. Maybe one of the expert growers can let me know. :o) 10/6 Day 32. I did some more defoliation to open up the air flow at the base of the stem (mini lollipoping). I also re-arranged the pots and lifted the air pumps so that I could have more room for training them. This should also improve air flow. I moved the rotating fan so that it is pulling air from the lower tent intake. Move the 6'' hurricane fan so that it is blowing down at the center of the tent. More LST training after giving everyone some more "elbow" room! I will allow them to recovery for a few days after the defoliation, but will keep adjusting the LST wires. - Added 1 gallon of purified H2O to each plant. No signs of any deficiencies on the leaves. Nice and Green with new nodes popping up (I think). Red - PH 5.54 TDS 703 EC 1.459 Blue - PH 5.77 TDS 735 EC 1503 Yellow - PH 5.6 TDS 693 EC 1.482 Blue (runt) is finally showing a growth spurt and has almost caught up to Red who seems to have healed from the partial stem tear. Yellow seems to still be the front runner in size and horizontal stretching. I will continue to train them until they definitely show signs of vertical growth and bud formation. At that time I will switch over their feeding to decrease N and increase P & K. SO far the GHE products are doing well, I might switch over to advanced nutrients for the next grow. Roots in all 3 pots are filling up and are still nice and white. Thankfully I am able to keep the water temp around 74-75 F. The UC Roots product is doing it's job as well. As of right now I'm not using any type of extra CO2 generator, but have watched some videos on You Tube on making a DIY. I wish there was more community involvement on questions and the need help section of this site. Also a lot of the You Tube sites that claim to cater to the "beginner grower" seem more interested in their "hip" music selection, video shots of their plants, and talking a lot of nothingness just to get viewers, verses providing quality content to really help the newbie growers. Ok off my soap box. I am really enjoying this grow and today after spending about an hour in the tent it was quite relaxing and therapeutic tending to the plants. 😊 10/7 Day 33. Rest in Peace Eddie Van Halen! Your influence in rock and roll will always be remembered! Feeding day! I am liking the 4 day schedule giving them 1/2 of the weekly recommended amounts per a consensus of growers who all say it's better to feed a little less, and make any additional increases as needed. The extra day helps to spread it out too. Also the importance of looking at the plants daily to see if there are any issues. Yellow is drinking more water that the other 2 and is still the front runner in overall growth and size. To think Yellow almost didn't make it past the seedling stage due to a "stretching bend" injury during week 1. - Amounts total in 4 gallons. UC Roots 8ml, CalMag 5ml, Micro 6ml, Gro 2ml, Bloom 6ml. These amounts are overall as the pots have 4 gallons of water in them. I adjusted to pot size in the description above. I made some small adjustments to the LST wires. All of the plants are now competing to who will become "Top Cola." I've also decided to name the plants per their growing pot color. Ruby, Bertha, Yuki. I picked Bertha as she was the runt, hopefully the name with inspire a great weigh in on dried flowers! 10/8 Day 34. Plants showing some signs of heat stress. I raised the lights up 2 inches. Now that I'm in flowering, heat and humidity reduction will get more of a focus. Tested the PH and it dropped to 5.2. I re-calibrated the pen just to make sure. Since they are starting to really drink more water I added 1/2 gallon of regular tap water that had been de-chlorinated. Checked PH 3 hours later and it is back up to 5.8. I have some PH up solution that I use for the aquarium, so will decided if I should adjust PH with watering using purified store water to lower PH and tap water to raise it since I anticipate them needing a gallon of water added every other day. Or I could just PH up the store bought water. 10/9 Day 35. Heat stress seems to be subsiding, but have noticed a few of the leaf tips are showing signs of nute burn. Overall they are looking great. I will monitor the leaf's for any additional issues. I know autoflowers like to be under feed compared to what the fertilizer companies recommend. I might look at going to a feed every 5 days using 1/2 of the recommended feeding amounts, along with seeing what the plant leaf's, water chemistry is telling me. As this is my first Cannabis grow it feels like I'm trying to "learn how to fly this particular model while I'm building it!" Anyone else feel like that on their 1st grow? 10/11 Day 37. All is growing well. Added a mixture of store water and tap to make adjustments to PH dropping. Each girl needed 1 gallon of water. Flowers are starting to grow :O) Ruby - PH 5.0 TDS 786 EC 1.651 (added PH up water to correct and an extra dose of 5ml UC Roots) Bertha - PH 5.96 TDS 858 EC 1.831 Yuki - PH 6.09 TDS 753 EC 1.725 Week 5 Lessons Learned: 1. Bought some Botanicare Silica Blast for the next grow. 2. Need to ensure the lid holes for adding water, and the air stone line is placed correctly with the water level sight guage. Yuki (Yellow) will need a new lid for the next grow. 3. More and a bit larger bore drill holes for the LST tie down points on the edges of the lids.

🌿 Woche 24 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Diese Woche haben beide Pflanzen ihr Höhenwachstum endgültig eingestellt und konzentrieren ihre Energie jetzt voll auf die Entwicklung der Buds 🌸. Nach dem starken Auslichten in der vergangenen Woche ist die Struktur deutlich übersichtlicher geworden und ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die verbliebenen Top Buds in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln werden 👀🌱. Die linke Pflanze ist weiterhin etwas weiter in der Blüte und zeigt an einigen Blättern nach wie vor leichte Nährstoffdefizite 🍂. Bei der rechten Pflanze ist das deutlich weniger ausgeprägt und sie wirkt insgesamt etwas vitaler 💚. Diese Woche habe ich noch zweimal mit BioBizz Grow, Bloom, Heaven und TopMax gedüngt . Den Pflanzen hat die zusätzliche Nährstoffversorgung offensichtlich gutgetan – allerdings musste ich dabei eine ziemlich interessante und für mich wichtige Erfahrung machen: Das Bodenleben hat unter dem Flüssigdünger deutlich gelitten. Vorher war unter der Mulchschicht richtig viel Leben zu sehen. Jetzt ist dort kaum noch etwas los und ein Teil der Würmer ist sogar aus den Töpfen geflohen und teilweise vertrocknet 💧. Für mich ein ziemlich klares Zeichen, dass eine Pflanze zwar kurzfristig von Flüssigdünger profitieren kann, das biologische Gleichgewicht im Living Soil dadurch aber trotzdem gestört werden kann. Deshalb habe ich heute eine Entscheidung getroffen: Ab sofort verzichte ich auf Flaschendünger – auch wenn er biologisch ist 🚫. Stattdessen möchte ich wieder stärker auf die eigentliche Grundlage meines Living Soils setzen. Pro Pflanze habe ich deshalb 125 g Almicanna Kickflip mit einer Hand Kompost und einer halben Hand Wurmhumus vermischt und als Topdress ausgebracht 🌱. Ich hoffe, damit das Bodenleben wieder richtig anzukurbeln und die biologische Aktivität zurückzubringen 🙏. Dafür nehme ich am Ende lieber etwas weniger Ertrag in Kauf – mir ist ein gesundes, lebendiges Bodenökosystem inzwischen wichtiger als die letzten Gramm Ernte 💚. Für nächstes Jahr habe ich daraus definitiv etwas gelernt: Rechtzeitig vor Beginn der Blüte topdressen und von Anfang an ausreichend Platz im Topf dafür einplanen. Bei 30 Litern ist der Platz für zusätzliche organische Nährstoffgaben irgendwann einfach ziemlich begrenzt. Der Wasserverbrauch liegt mittlerweile bei ungefähr 4,5 Litern pro Pflanze und Tag 💧. Durch das starke Auslichten und die inzwischen deutlich kühleren Temperaturen ist der Verbrauch spürbar zurückgegangen 🌡️. Und dann gibt es noch einen Punkt, auf den ich mich momentan besonders freue: der Geruch 👃. Beim Zerreiben der Zuckerblätter zeigen beide Pflanzen bereits ein wirklich vielversprechendes Aroma. Ich nehme eine fruchtige, zitronige Note mit einer leichten Nuance von Minze wahr 🍋🍃. Die Zitronennote gefällt mir jetzt schon sehr gut, aber ich hoffe natürlich, dass sich die Minznote im weiteren Verlauf noch etwas verstärkt 🙏. Eine solche Kombination hatte ich bisher noch nicht im Grow und genau deshalb bin ich besonders gespannt, wohin sich das Terpenprofil bis zur Ernte noch entwickelt 😍. Jetzt heißt es wieder: Bodenleben beobachten, Buds beobachten und abwarten 🍂🌸. Ich hoffe, dass sich das biologische Leben im Substrat nach dem Topdress schnell wieder erholt und die beiden Mentha de Croco ihre letzten Blütewochen unter möglichst guten Bedingungen genießen können 🤞🌿. 🌿 Week 24 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 This week, both plants have finally stopped their vertical growth and are now putting all their energy into developing the buds 🌸. After the heavy defoliation last week, the structure is much more open and I’m really curious to see how the remaining top buds will develop over the coming weeks 👀🌱. The left plant is still slightly further ahead in flowering and continues to show some mild nutrient deficiencies on a few leaves 🍂. The right plant is less affected and generally looks a little healthier and more vigorous 💚. This week I still fed them twice with BioBizz Grow, Bloom, Heaven and TopMax . The plants definitely seemed to benefit from the additional nutrients, but I also noticed something quite important: the soil life has clearly suffered from the liquid fertilerer. Before, there was an incredible amount of life underneath the mulch layer. Now there is hardly anything moving, and some of the worms have even left the pots and partially dried out 💧. To me, this is a pretty clear indication that liquid fertilizer can help the plants in the short term, while still having a negative impact on the biological activity of the Living Soil. So today I made a decision: from now on, I’m stopping bottled fertilizers completely – even if they are organic 🚫. Instead, I want to rely more heavily on the Living Soil itself and get the biological activity back on track. For each plant, I mixed 125 g of Almicanna Kickflip with one handful of compost and half a handful of worm castings and applied it as a topdress 🌱. I hope this will reactivate the soil life and bring the biological activity back to where it was 🙏. I’m perfectly happy to accept a little less yield if necessary – at this point, a healthy and living soil ecosystem is more important to me than squeezing out the last few grams of harvest 💚. I’ve definitely learned something for next year: topdress early enough before flowering starts and leave some extra space in the pot for it from the beginning. With only 30 L of soil, space for additional organic amendments becomes quite limited later in the season. Water consumption is now around 4.5 L per plant per day 💧. Because of the heavy defoliation and the significantly cooler temperatures, water consumption has dropped noticeably 🌡️. And there is another thing I’m really excited about right now: the aroma 👃. When rubbing the sugar leaves, both plants already show a very promising terpene profile. I’m picking up a fruity, citrusy note with a subtle hint of mint 🍋🍃. I already really like the citrus side, but I’m hoping the mint note will become a little stronger as flowering progresses 🙏. I’ve never grown a strain with an aroma combination like this before, so I’m especially curious to see where the terpene profile ends up by harvest 😍. For now, it’s time to watch the soil life, watch the buds and let nature do its thing 🍂🌸. Hopefully the soil ecosystem will quickly recover from the recent stress and both Mentha de Croco plants can enjoy their final flowering weeks under good conditions 🤞🌿.
