Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened.
To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers.
No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary.
Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now
Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite.
As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now.
Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along.
As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space.
I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night.
My tea recipe:
Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons
I bubble that with added minerals for a day
Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea)
I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology.
Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes.
Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional.
What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow.
Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

This plant is a beauty!! Ivamba little worried about how close she is to the light, but my light is as high as it can go and my plant is as low as it can go so, if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

2022-02-05, Day 33: The Right has a solid 10cm advance over the left one, i'm guessing this is because of the failed FIMming (too little).

Almost 3 weeks into flowering and we have some pretty little buds showing with tricombs already . Leaves are starting to turn color because the plant thinks it’s fall right now.

Video 7:
An overview video of the babies, moments before i performed the first topping/man-linning/prunning/LST on the biggest gorilla. The other one is recovering at time from those ugly color marks she has on them leaves. As the leaves seems not healthy i decided to not perform the man-lining on this one until it has a pair of healthy main leaves on which i can trust to guide.
Video 11:
Main Gorilla ultrafast topping/man-linning/prunning/LST.
-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
I traveled to Venecia this week and i have very few photos, also i returned with a terrible flu, so i'm not going to take too much photos for the next week too, i'm so sorry.
I'm a bit scared about what happened to the gorilla that looks sick, the other one is growing like a monster, is almost double size comparing with the other 3 plants, this week i've seen enough distances on the plant to start with the techniques. I must say that she responded very well to the pruning...
Also this week i'm going to apply a foliar irrigation to see if i can help to the sick gorilla.
-----WATERING CALENDAR-----
12/03/19 - 700 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.95 E.C. PH5.9
12/03/19 - FOLIAR - Used about 25 ml of (200 ml water with 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + and 0.1 ml Foliar Spray)

Video 7:
Un vídeo general del armario, está grabado momentos antes de realizar las técnicas de cultivo sobre la mejor de las gorilas. La otra se sigue reponiendo de esas manchas feas que le salieron en las hojas. Ya que las hojas parecen enfermas, he decidido no hacer el man-lining hasta que no tenga un par de hojas saludables en las que poder confiar para hacer el guiado y alimentar los brotes.
Video 11:
Vídeo super rápido del topping, man-lining, podado y entrenamiento.
-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
He viajado esta semana a Venecia y tengo pocas fotos, también he vuelto con una gripe del horror por lo que también voy a disponer de pocas fotos la semana que viene, disculpas por anticipado.
Estoy un poco preocupado por la Gorila que parece enferma, la otra crece como un monstruo, si la comparas con las otras es casi el doble de cualquiera de ellas. Esta semana ya siento suficiente espacio en la planta para comenzar con las técnicas. He de decir que responderá muy bien al podado.
Esta semana también aplicaré un riego foliar a ver si ayuda a la gorila enferma.
-----WATERING CALENDAR-----
12/03/19 - 700 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0,95 E.C. PH5,9

Volviendo con mis pequeñas, debido a que el clima está muy cambiante en exterior comenzaron su proceso de prefloracion de forma anticipada, ideal para mi dado que por espacio quería plantas intermedias, así que se encuentran en horario 12/12 y con estimulación de floración 1 vez por semana con riegos controlados

🌱 Week 2: Mutant Magic in Full Swing! 🌱
Hey Grow Fam! Another week, another step forward in the adventure with these Mentha de Croco beauties. Week 2 has been nothing short of fascinating—the variety in leaf shapes is absolutely mesmerizing. These tiny mutants are already showing their unique personality, and I’m loving every second of watching them grow! 🌿✨
Tent Conditions: Consistency is Key
The setup remains the same as last week, keeping these little ones in the perfect environment to thrive:
• Temperature: Stable, warm conditions for steady growth.
• Humidity: Maintaining high RH ensures they’re still enjoying tropical vibes as their root systems develop.
• Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to deliver just the right amount of light to keep the plants growing compact and strong.
Nutrition: Introducing the Organic-Mineral Boost 🌿
This week, I started feeding the plants with the incredible Aptus Holland organic-mineral line. It’s been a game-changer, and here’s why I love it:
What’s Organic-Mineral Nutrition?
• Combines the benefits of organic matter (microbial health and soil vitality) with the efficiency of mineral nutrients (direct uptake by plants).
• Supports balanced, steady growth while boosting plant resilience.
This Week’s Feeding Schedule:
• Regulator (0.15 ml/L): A silica-based product that strengthens plant structure and helps regulate stress, ensuring the plants stay strong and sturdy.
• CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Calcium and magnesium are essential for cell wall development and chlorophyll production, supporting lush, vibrant growth.
• All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): A comprehensive blend that delivers all the essential nutrients in one easy feed, perfect for these little mutants finding their stride.
• Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Packed with root-stimulating microbes and nutrients, this product ensures strong root development and prepares the plants for explosive growth in the coming weeks.
Why Aptus?
I’ve been a huge fan of Aptus Holland because their line truly focuses on building strong, healthy plants from the ground up. The results speak for themselves—happy plants, explosive growth, and vibrant health at every stage. true believer here and way before being sponsored by them .
Mutant Leaf Love: Celebrating the Unique 🌿
The highlight of this week has to be the unique leaf patterns these plants are developing. Each one seems to have its own story to tell—serrated edges, funky symmetry, and a whole spectrum of textures. They’re tiny but mighty, and it’s so exciting to see the potential of these genetics from Terpyz Mutant Genetics come to life.
Mutants always bring surprises, and it’s a beautiful reminder that diversity is what makes this journey so rewarding.
Reflections & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡
💚 Feed Lightly, Grow Strong: For young plants, keep your feed gentle to avoid overloading them. Start slow and adjust as they grow.
🌱 Celebrate Differences: Each plant will grow at its own pace, and unique traits are part of the magic. Patience is key!
💧 Stay Consistent: The foundation you build in these early weeks sets the tone for the entire grow. Stable conditions = happy plants.
Shoutouts & Grower’s Love 💚
Big thank you to @Terpyz Genetics for these funky mutant seeds, @Aptus Holland for their stellar nutrition lineup, @Future of Grow for the lighting that keeps these beauties thriving, @Pro Mix Soil for the best one i have encountered so far and @Grow Diaries for being an amazing platform to share this journey.
And a HUGE shoutout to all of you—followers, growers, or just curious passersby! Your love, support, and shared passion for growing make this experience truly special.
Stay tuned for more mutant magic in Week 3. Let’s grow, let’s grow, let’s grow! 🌟

My first grow. It's been a long time coming.
This grow is 4 plants, 4 strains in a 90x90x200 with a 440w LED.
Bruce Banner #3
Gorilla Zskittles
Amnesia Haze
Blue Gelato 41
The Banner and Skittles broke the soil successfully this week but unfortunately the Amnesia and Gelato didn't cut the mustard. Successfully germinated on second attempt however this means they are a little behind the the other 2 for now.
I have the light dimmed to around 20% as the ladies were showing signs of having too much light, a slight yellowing to the ends of the leaves on the Skittles? This was with the light at around 50%. Will ramp this up slowly over the next couple of week once the other 2 break soil.
UPDATE
The Blue Gelato and the Amnesia Haze broke the soil a couple of days ago so they shouldn't be massively behind the other 2. Looking forward to seeing these ladies grow!

Hey guys :-)
The ladies are developing really well 😊.
I'll decide spontaneously whether I'll do topping because I hardly have any space in the flower tent and I'll soon have to set it to 12 / 12 h due to time constraints :-( .
But this week they will definitely get the veggie phase.
Was poured 1 times with 1 l each (groundwater see description at the bottom)
Everything was made clean.
Fresh osmosis water is applied and the plants are sprayed and checked.
Stay healthy 💚🙏🏻

Gracias al equipo de Kannabia Seed, Marshydro, XpertNutrients y Trolmaster sin ellos esto no sería posible.
💐🍁 Moby Dick 🐋:
Criada a partir de dos parentales icónicos, como es el cruce de White Widow y una Haze pura G13, este choque de titanes provoca un híbrido que golpea a las puertas de las sativas más fuertes disponibles en el mercado.
Estamos ante una criatura impresionante en todos los sentidos, con ejemplares que florecen en solo 9-10 semanas en interior y arrojan un peso en lonja de 550 gr./m²
Al igual que su padre Haze, nuestra Moby Dick ofrece agradables notas cítricas, pero con efluvios de vainilla y eucalipto, una mezcla de aromas que genera una combinación intrigante, que puede llenar cualquier habitación con una fragancia inolvidable.
El sabor es muy parecido a su olor, con toques de limón agrio que harán que tu lengua cosquillee al inhalar, convirtiéndose lentamente en un humo dulce y terroso, con pinceladas de madera e incienso que se adhieren al interior de la boca al exhalar.
💡TS-3000 + TS-1000: se usaran dos de las lámparas de la serie TS de Marshydro, para cubrir todas las necesidades de las plantas durante el ciclo de cultivo, uso las dos lámparas en floracion para llegar a toda la carpa de 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.80.
