Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 7 2/16-22 Flower week 3 The Cheese gals are in full bloom, the buds are puffing out and stacking. I even see some lower buds connecting to the upper buds and many pistils are turning brown. Trichomes are minimal and using my phone, they appear milky. There is some smell when I open the tent. The F1 genetics are reflected in that these 2 plants are identical in plant structure. However, blue cheese 2 in soil is maturing more quickly than BC1 that is in coco soil blend. Both girls had leaf tips turning up and I thought tip curl was light burn so I took the cheese gals off the crates. I also moved the carrots to the other tent with the veggie seedlings because Love Potion is getting so big, Another observation BC 1 in coco is showing over feeding by new tips are yellow and most old ones are brown and curling up. BC2 does not show any nutrient issues even though they are given the exact same food. I surely don’t have time for special diets In addition, Love Potion is getting so big, I took the carrots out and put them in the other tent with the veggie seedlings. So how’s the weather you ask? So glad to share pics our Record setting major snowstorm. Coastal Virginia got the brunt of this storm. Virginia Beach had 13 inches and my area of Chesapeake had 12” We had 24 hours of steady snow. We took our kitties out when it first started to see how they would react. They loved it. So the following morning we took them out again. 2/17 &19 &21 5 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount Bloom Juice 60 ml Royal Rush 16 ml Power bud 16ml Green sensation16 ml Cal Mag15ml Ppm 683 Ph 6.5 Temp 65 Your likes and comments are appreciated.

Commencing Week 14 - 6th week of flowering - Day 92 from germination - Day 42 of 12/12 on January 23rd D.98/48 wooooooooooooooooh this Garden is super stinky right now in a good way 👃💪👍👌👏😁 The colors are changing up beautifully signaling the end of life and the beginning of a whole new level of appreciation for these beautiful flowers 💚 - 💛🧡💜❤️ I'm currently under the impression that hydroponics can speed up production, (in my experience with organic growing growth is a little slower and as well as the ripening / muturation rate) so I'm may even be able to harvest a majority of this a few days early. There is also a few tricks I might employ in order to speed this process up. It's fine by me either way I can wait so we'll see 😁 So far this has been my first successful indoor DWC grow in quite some time and I am very patiently yet very anxiously awaiting the time when I can enjoy the fruits of my labor. at this point as long as I don't mess anything up it should be smooth sailing right up to the very end which is now what I am looking forward to the most coming up: the harvest and smoke report To all the breeders so I put in the hard work for for me and allowed me to grow their strains thank you! To all the fellow growers and enthusiast who have been paying attention and chiming in from time to time I especially appreciate you and thank you for your patience in dealing with my late updates. I promise my smoke report will be incredibly thorough and make up for your patience throughout the recording of this journal. As usual if anyone has any questions about any specific techniques I use or why or nutrient lines or strain related to this grow information please feel free to ask, comment, etc

Week 11 Veg - Mentha de Croco Mutants Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌱✨ This week’s update is all about setting up for the big transition—we’re finally flipping these beauties into flower! But before we do, I took some important steps to ensure a smooth transition. Defoliation & Why It Matters Before Flower Before the flip, I gave them a thorough defoliation, clearing out lower and overcrowded leaves. Why? Because: More Light Penetration – Helps lower bud sites develop properly. Better Airflow – Reduces humidity buildup and risk of mold. Focused Energy – Encourages the plant to put energy into strong bud production instead of unnecessary foliage. Of course, balance is key—I trimmed enough to open things up but left plenty for healthy growth. Final Pre-Flip Routine • Temps & RH: Holding steady at 22°C with 66% RH, keeping conditions ideal before flower. • 💧 Nutrients: Running the Aptus Holland Clean Feeding Approach with: • Regulator for plant resilience. • RO Water Conditioner to balance pH and improve uptake. • System Clean, even though I’m not using a hydro system, to keep the root zone optimal. • All-in-One Liquid, which is now the primary nutrient source. • 🔄 Watering: Still bottom-watering to keep gnats away and encourage strong root growth. 36-48 Hours of Darkness Before the Flip Before switching the room to 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness, I’ll be giving them a 36-48 hour dark period. This technique helps signal the plants that it’s time to transition, leading to a faster and stronger flower initiation. Photography & Details Of course, my Sony A6000 was in action, capturing all the unique traits of these mutants after defoliation. The leaves, the structures, the roots OMG the roots and the crazy details on each plant continue to impress me. I’ll be sharing some macro shots soon! Shout Outs & Gratitude Big love to: • Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these one-of-a-kind plants. • Aptus Holland for keeping them thriving. • Pro Mix Soil for the perfect root environment. • TrolMaster for top-tier climate control. • Future of Grow for pushing cultivation forward. • Grow Diaries and this amazing community for the support and inspiration! 🌱💚 Follow along on Instagram & YouTube for behind-the-scenes footage, close-ups, and more tips!

Jour 64 flo +27 : Le taux d humidité remonte vers les 70 je ne sais plus quoi faire je vais acheter une déshumidificateur de batard , en espérant que ça change tout .. les têtes sont de plus en plus belle . J ai racheter du terra Flores mais maintenant je ne plus de canna boost . Plusieurs feuille jaunes je n’ose pas tout retirer par peur de mal faire .. Jour 66 flo +29 : je pense avoir une carrence en je ne sais quoi j ai acheter du cal/mag en espérant corriger ça avant la fin .. j ai aussi acheter un déshumidificateur qui permet de garder la pièce à une hygrométrie de 50% je suis content enfin

Week 2 of flower The Red Hot Cookies and Lemon Orange are really stretching out. Glad I put them at the back of the tent. The Mimosa X Orange Punch is taking her time as far as flowering goes. The Black Apple Hitchcock (there is a separate diary for this plant) has been even slower transitioning into flower. But all in all the plants are happy so I am happy. 6.0 pH 500 ppm 65F water temp 71 tent temp 41 % RH
