New update for week 12, concluding week 8 of flowering: Hi(gh) Folks! Thanks everyone for your input on my second grow question. I’m going for HighTV’s answer, the SOG with 9x4 main buds. Very nice to get everyone’s input on this, appreciate it! So another week done! They got their last nutrients Tuesday and on Thursday the 5 early ladies from Hempire got their first round of plain acidulated water. I flushed them a bit on Friday and Saturday to. Now they can dry out for a couple of days. I will flush them for the upcoming week and let them dry out before harvest next weekend. Im counting on them to swell up even further during this week. As for the rest of the 4 plants from Hempire, 4 from Royal Queen Seeds and 3 from Hy-Seeds, I will treat them as if this is another week 8, and they will get another dose of Flowering nutrients and PK. Then next week I will start to flush them also. I will have 2 full weeks to flush and let them dry out until my planned harvest on Saturday 5 January. I’m not even sure that will be early enough for the 4 RQS’s since they look like they have even more bud-growing to do, before they can start swelling! I will keep an eye on that. The 5 tall ladies, 2 from Hempire and 3 from Hy-Seeds show the nice thick Kushy buds i’m craving for, can’t wait to see the becoming nice and heavy! On the photos you see the slight diverence between the pheno’s, the left 2 plants grew the popcorn-buds on a stem, and the right ones have nice thick popcornbuds against the stem’s. The other to remaining Hempire plants also show these, apart from the early ladies offcourse. The early birds show a little stretching buds and nice purple colours. So next week will see the early ladies harvested, I hope? Look out for my next update and don’t forget to like! Thanks and see you!

i started with LST. unfortunately the plant grew too fast in height, which doesn't make it any easier now. next week i'll try it with twine. maybe i should it just let it grow as it likes.

Venga familia que acabamos la quinta semana de estás Gelato Olandese de Dutchfem. Entramos en la recta final esta próxima semana aplicamos el PK de Agrobeta, ExplotaCogollos. Iremos viendo el proceso de engorde de las flores. Se ve que tienen un buen color están bien sanas, se ve que progresan adecuadamente. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

🌱 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!

Week 11 | Feb 5 - Feb 11 | Flower Days 36-42 Feb 5 - Flower Day 36 00:15 pre-top-off: pH 5.75 / EC 1.852. A touch high, but still controllable. After top-off it settled at pH 5.70 / EC 1.724. She was drinking around 1.5 L/day, and buds were clearly starting to put on real mass. The canopy still carried scars from the earlier incident, but the flowers themselves looked active and healthy. Feb 6 - Flower Day 37 00:15 pre-top-off EC hit 2.036. That was my cue to stop messing around with dilution. I did a full reservoir change, resetting the system cleanly instead of letting salt concentration creep. The new res went in at pH 5.74 / EC 1.614. She didn’t sulk at all, which was a relief. Feb 7 - Flower Day 38 Pre-top-off the numbers were calmer: EC ~1.500 / pH 6.18. After topping off with pH-adjusted water and letting it circulate, pH settled at 5.98. She drank less than a liter this day, but given stretch was over and the plant had just had a full res swap, that didn’t automatically worry me. Trichomes were becoming more visible on the sugar leaves - resin building, not just “hair.” Feb 8 - Flower Day 39 00:15 pre-top-off: pH 5.4 / EC 1.488. pH drifting down was a new pattern compared to earlier in the grow. After top-off it settled at pH 5.72 / EC 1.528. Drinking picked back up. That combination - falling EC with rising uptake - felt like the plant was properly feeding again. Feb 9 - Flower Day 40 00:10 pre–top-off: EC 1.532 / pH 5.6. After top-off it landed at pH 5.7 / EC 1.488. Stable, predictable behavior. No new spread of damage. Bud sites looked more “structured” now, and the smell was back to pungent and sweet rather than that old hay panic. Feb 10 - Flower Day 41 00:10 pre-top-off: pH 5.84 / EC 1.566. She drank about 2 liters over the last 24h, which was the clearest sign yet that she was working hard again. After top-off, 15 minutes later, she settled at pH 5.90 / EC 1.518. Then I did the big job: a major defoliation / cleanup. It was honestly a jungle down there and airflow needed help. I removed nearly all leaves with noticeable discoloration, plus a lot of shaded lower fan leaves that weren’t contributing. I left a few that were only slightly marked so I wouldn’t overstrip her. The difference was immediate: way better airflow, and more tops exposed properly. My fingers were ridiculously sticky afterwards and the smell was loud and pungent - and that was reassuring. Buds were clearly beginning to gain real mass. Feb 11 - Flower Day 42 00:13 pre-top-off: pH 5.88 / EC 1.608. This was the night I decided to do a tiny, controlled nutrient bump in the top-off water: 1 ml per liter each of Micro, Grow, and Bloom. After circulation it settled at pH 5.88 / EC 1.670 - exactly the outcome I wanted. Slight lift, no spike, no instability. This week felt like the real transition from recovery into bulk. The canopy still has scars, but the plant is behaving like a producer again - drinking, feeding, and stacking.

👸🏼**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 2 Flowering Phase** 👸🏼 Aye yo, Zuppler checkin' in with the week 2 update from the garden. We deep in this flower stage now, and the ladies are flexin' heavy. We hittin' ‘em with that monkey formula from Advanced Nutrients – you know, that real fire mix – and it’s got them lookin' strong as a pitbull on steroids, no lie. We runnin’ on straight osmosis water too, keepin’ it clean as a whistle, no extra BS in the mix. pH game locked down, always in that sweet spot, and the girls are drinkin' it up like a hot summer day down in Miami. Roots be spreadin' out nice, no signs of stress, they lovin' the setup. Buds are startin’ to stack up, slow but sure. Ain't much frost yet, but I can already tell we about to be drippin' soon. Nodes are tight like a fresh taper fade, and internodes ain’t stretchin’ too wild – just the way we like it. Them leaves stay green as a gator's hide – no burn, no spots, just straight up healthy growth. They dancin' under the lights like it’s a party, and with that 12/12 cycle locked in, the energy’s flowin’ like good vibes at a block party. Everything solid so far, no issues. Yo, we keep it patient, ‘cause this the marathon, not a sprint. Week 3 comin' up, and that’s when we expect to see them trichomes really startin’ to come through. Stay strapped in, 'cause it’s only gettin’ better from here. Zuppler out. Keep it G!

Tag 82: Hab mich nun doch entschieden , da die Trichome wirklich zu 90% Milchig sind , die Dame am Stamm abzuhacken . (Extra ein kleines Beil gekauft (scherz)) . Dann im Stück einfach Kopfüber . Abluft ist an , Ventilator unter der Spitze . Jetzt noch 4-5 Tage warten (je nach Temp und Feuchte) . Und dann schauen wir mal was es wird .Für mich wichtig , viel Feuchtigkeit im Raum , ich will das sie auch nach dem Trocknen noch kleben . Ergo hab ich den Stoftopf drinne stehen gelassen . Tag 82-88: Kopfübertrocknung + Temperatur : 21°C - 23°C) + Lüftfeuchtigkeit : 52%rH-60%rH + VPD kleiner gleich 1.2 + 4 bis 5 Tage Ich versuche maximal einen VPD von 1.2 zu halten für ca 4-5 Tage. Tag 85: Ein Video hinzugefühgt wo ihr das Trockenzelt sehen könnt. Die LED hab ich genau unter der Abluft angebracht damit kein einseitiger Luftzug entsteht, dafür mit mehr Power . Tag 86: Video von der Kopfüberhängenden hinzugefühgt. Tag 88: 5 Tage lang getrocknet , Blüten vom Stiel getrennt und in Schalen in den Weinkühlschrank mit Silikatgel für die Feuchteregelung. Tag 90: Trichome aufgenommen. CureBoxen geschlossen nach 2 Tagen im Weinkühler Next Step: Bouveda 58% , Sauerstoffabsorbierer

🌱✨ Super Sativa Seed Club Germination Report! ✨🌱 Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿 Today, we're diving into the exciting world of germination with our latest run from Super Sativa Seed Club. Buckle up, because it's going to be a fun and informative ride! We started our germination journey with the trusty Cannakan method. This approach is a game-changer for seed enthusiasts looking for robust and quick germination. Here’s how it went down: Initial Soak: Our seeds (Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel) took a luxurious bath in water for about 30 hours. This soaking period is crucial as it wakes up the seeds and starts the germination process. 🌊🌱 Once our seeds had a good soak, we moved them to soil. This transition is where the magic really begins! The seeds were carefully placed into a rich, well-draining soil mix to ensure they had the best start possible. 🌟 Genetic Breakdown: 1. Auto Fast Pete: Lineage: This auto-flowering marvel comes from a lineage of speed demons, known for their rapid growth and resilience.

Flavor & Effects: With a sweet and spicy profile, it’s a treat for the senses. The effects are balanced, offering a pleasant, uplifting high that's perfect for any time of the day. 2. Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: Lineage: A powerhouse combination of Northern Lights and Dragon Fuel genetics, this strain is all about strength and vigor. Characteristics: Known for its impressive growth and high resin production, Auto Northern Dragon Fuel is a cultivator's dream. It has a slightly longer life cycle compared to Auto Fast Pete but rewards with larger yields. Flavor & Effects: A complex blend of earthy, pine, and fuel notes, it’s both intriguing and satisfying. The high is potent and relaxing, making it great for unwinding after a long day. 🌱🌿 What to Expect: Fast Growth: With Auto Fast Pete, you’ll see rapid development. It's like watching nature's express train! Resilient Plants: Both strains are known for their toughness. They handle stress well and are forgiving to minor cultivation errors. Impressive Yields: Expect a bountiful harvest from both strains. Auto Northern Dragon Fuel might take a bit longer, but the wait is worth it. Aromatic & Flavorful Buds: Get ready for a sensory delight with rich, complex aromas and flavors. 🌍🌟 Conclusion: Germination is just the beginning of our exciting journey with Super Sativa Seed Club's Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel. These genetics promise not only a rewarding cultivation experience but also top-notch end products.

On day 1 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. I defoliated leaves blocking the inside/lower canopy to give more light to lower growth points keeping the top 2 leaves on cola tops. The girls are deff still stretching :) So far so good. I'm glad I flipped to flower early this run and could see even dropping the veg time by another week. Its tough working in a small grow space but I'm determined to master it lol. I lowered the lights intensity from 85% to 75% to give my tops 600-800 PPFD. Usually I just blast the plants with 100% until the stretch is over but I'm realizing that I'm way over doing it based on my quantum sensors data. On day 2 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. The girls are still stretching and putting out new preflowers. My tallest cola is 9" from the light(the other lower colas are between 10"-12" away from grow light). On day 3 I adjusted the reservoirs PH up from 6.0 to 6.3. My tallest cola is 8.5" from the grow light. Lower colas are mostly 10" away from light. On day 4 the reservoirs PH is 6.3. My tallest cola is 7.5" from my grow light and the average/lower cola distance from grow light is 10-11". I defoliated large leafs that are blocking lower bud sites and or touching each other causing wet spots on the leaves. I want as much airflow as possible as I can not control my night time humidity which can be as high as 80%-90%. My last run I noticed some sugar leaves touching my grow box walls and this caused them to start rotting. I want to avoid that this time around so I'm being careful not to have any wet spots from leaves laying on each other as well as keeping all colas far enough from my walls. In the future I would like to have the ability for de humidification but being in a small grow box in a garage makes it difficult to control my lung room. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH up from 6.1 to 6.3. My tallest cola is 7" from the grow light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10" away from light. I defoliated and removed lower bud sites not receiving enough light. On day 6 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. My tallest cola is 6.5" from the grow light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10". My tallest cola is getting 1000 PPFD while my lowers are 600-800 PPFD. On day 7 I changed out the reservoir and adjusted the PH to 6.1. The tallest cola is 6" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10"

Week 11, As you can see with the pictures, she has some nutrient burn :( I unfortunately gave her too much nutrients. I knew this strain was sensitive to nutrients because of the 2Fast4buds strain video but I did not know what was too much or not. If I was to grow this strain again ,I would probably switch up nutrients every other watering and not every watering as I did. As a result of the burn, I used some ClearEx in hopes that the leaves will turn back to green. The plant seems to be responding well to the treatment being on 2/17 and all. My plan is to water the plant on 2/19 with only water to flush the plant some more. Hopefully by 2/22 I can give the plant some finishing bud density nutrients for a week or two and then flush time. I am nowhere near a master grower and every mistake is a learning experience :) Let me know if you have any questions/ comments/ concerns. Good luck with everybody grow! (hopefully they don't get burned like mine did this week) lol
