The two main events this week: Defoliation and training. The ladies seem to take it well, even though they are not the most fun to play with. Very bushy, sturdy and quite inflexible, I already broke 3 branches by mistake on the one that is the hardest to work with. And I did ended up doing lots of HST on her, cuz it was impossible to do LST. Apparently the nuts I use have a rather low amount of Phosphorus... I had the same problem in my last grow (dark leaves, slow bud development)... unfortunately that time I didn't get what was happening. So I started giving them "Bud Explosion" now, 2ml/l, which basically contains a mix of Phosphorus and Potassium, and the improvement was almost instantly noticeable! I'm thinking they get 4-5 more days to recover in veg. then I flip them.

SMOOTHIE AUTO (Fastbuds) 42 days from sprout. At the end of the sixth week and she started getting taller quickly. Almost doubled her height this week. Leaves mostly look good and bud spots are building.

I think I have a slowdown in flowering, next watering with pk13/14. otherwise my two fans fell hs replacement by one but it's not great.

The Afghani x Mac1 auto from DNA recovered well from the training and is in full bloom. Bud sites are looking great. Had an issue with humidity this week and the leaves started looking rough. She got a dose of Recharge this week and drinks about 8-12oz of water throughout each day. All in all she's trucking right along. Very happy with how smooth this solo cup grow is going.

My first grow 'attempt'. I am growing in an insulated shipping container. Using two Fluence SpydrX LED 660W lights. Not currently supplementing Co2. Feeding by hand for now but I will set up an automated dripper. Drain to waste. Growing in Pro-Mix HP w/ Mycorrhizae which contains (65%-75%) Peat-Moss, Perlite, Mycorrhizae, pH adjusters, and a wetting agent. All 5 seeds sprouted!! 3 Peat Pellet, 2 Paper Towel Light intensity set to lowest setting. (8%) Feeding every couple days with 160ppm, 6.0 pH. Overall, pretty good week. Lights on! Using 18/6 light schedule. The peat pellets were placed into peat pots and under a dome. The lights should have been turned on a lot sooner, the seedlings stretched quite tall. Lesson learned there. They continued to grow quite tall. One fell over, it was replanted slightly deeper to support it. Fingers crossed it survives. Light intensity set to lowest setting (8%). A lot to learn.

🇩🇪 Woche 5 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 Die beiden Mentha de Croco entwickeln sich in Woche 5 weiterhin richtig stark 💪🌿 Schön buschiger Wuchs, kompakte Struktur und ein insgesamt sehr vitaler Eindruck. Die Blätter sind sattgrün und dicht – keinerlei Anzeichen von Mängeln oder Stress 👌✨ Aktuell läuft noch der „Hybrid-Modus“: tagsüber draußen Sonne tanken ☀️ und abends wieder zurück ins Zelt 🌙 Das klappt bisher super und die Pflanzen profitieren sichtbar von dem natürlichen Licht und der frischen Luft. Langsam wird es aber eng im Topf ? – die Wurzeln wollen mehr Platz! In etwa zwei Wochen geht’s endlich in die 30L Töpfe nach draußen, wo sie ihr volles Potenzial entfalten können 🚀🌱 Fazit: Top Zustand, kräftiges Wachstum und bereit für den nächsten großen Schritt 🔥🌳 --- 🇬🇧 Week 5 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 The two Mentha de Croco plants are still going strong in week 5 💪🌿 Nice bushy growth, compact structure, and overall very vigorous. Leaves are deep green and dense – no signs of deficiencies or stress 👌✨ Currently running a “hybrid mode”: outside during the day for sunlight ☀️ and back inside at night 🌙 This routine works great so far, and the plants clearly benefit from natural light and fresh air. However, the pots are starting to feel small ? – roots are ready for more space! In about two weeks, they’ll move into 30L outdoor pots and really take off 🚀🌱 Conclusion: Excellent condition, strong growth, and ready for the next big step 🔥

🍊 Correction time! Alright guys, I have to admit — I totally mixed things up somewhere during transplant 😅 Turns out this one here is actually Sweet Mandarine Z, not Mental Rainbow. And the one that’s listed under Sweet Mandarine Z is in fact the Mental Rainbow 🌈😂 Unfortunately, GrowDiaries doesn’t let me edit the strain name anymore (thanks, GD 😩), but I wanted to make it clear for everyone following along. 👉 So just to keep it transparent: – This diary = Sweet Mandarine Z 🍊 – The other one = Mental Rainbow 🌈 Both are from Sweet Seeds, and both are turning out absolutely amazing 🔥 If you enjoy my grows and want to see even more updates, follow me on Instagram: @Dendegrow 🌿📸 I post there more often — with extra tips, tricks & grow insights 🌱💡 🍊 Korrektur-Post! Okay Leute, ich muss zugeben — ich habe beim Umtopfen wohl die Pflanzen vertauscht 😅 Diese hier ist nämlich Sweet Mandarine Z, und nicht Mental Rainbow. Und die, die unter Sweet Mandarine Z läuft, ist in Wahrheit die Mental Rainbow 🌈😂 Leider kann man bei GrowDiaries den Sortennamen nachträglich nicht mehr ändern (danke dafür 😩), aber ich wollte das hier klarstellen, damit alle Bescheid wissen. 👉 Zur Übersicht: – Dieses Tagebuch = Sweet Mandarine Z 🍊 – Das andere = Mental Rainbow 🌈 Beide stammen von Sweet Seeds – und beide entwickeln sich absolut großartig 🔥 Wenn euch meine Grows gefallen, folgt mir gerne auch auf Instagram: @Dend 🌿📸 Dort poste ich noch mehr Inhalte mit Infos, Tipps und Tricks rund ums Growen 🌱💡

Неделя прошла вроде бы хорошо, поливаю сейчас чисто водой, довольная, правда медленно медленно стала цвести, ну ничего пахнет и выглядет всё краше и краше)

Still looking good overall, I'm watering every 2.5 - 3 days Added some Fish Sh!t to the mix... hopefully these ladies will love it still a few thrips around but this week I will get a flower friendly pesticide or just the predatory mites, we'll see!

En la semana 11 de floracion solo hemos regado con agua ,sin nutrientes,para bajar la EC del sustrato. El tamaño de los cogollos empiezan a ser importantes, al simple tacto se puede notar que los cogollos están bien compactos. Estas semanas que quedan se van a hacer eternas, ya quiero cortarla 😅😅. El aroma te inspira a hacerlo👺👺🚀🚀

12.01.2026 Day 95 These ladies are coming along slowly due to low temp. Sometimes dropping to 1 degree C at night. The 3 clones are from bud budda cheese 2 in soil and 1 in hydro with heating elenent to keep the water from freezing. I put the mother plant into flowering today and give her veg nutes still. I have put a heater into the flowering tent set to 16 C. The badass og cheese is about 4 weeks into flower. The blue cheese from expert seeds is recovering.

The plant has recovered well from the last capping and defoliation🏻‍♀️ A few leaves have yellowed a little, but that's not so bad🏻‍♂️ It will get a compost tea🍵 in a few days when it is sent into flower and then everything will be fine again😊💪🏻🏻 The compost tea is brewed and was given to the Watermelon Runtz at day 49 of Veg🍉🏃‍♂️

Week 10 - The Plants has shown so much growth within a week those buds are really now starting to form and pack on a scent. I have cut out using the formulex.

Plants were stunted for a few days from transplant and roots took a long time to make their way down to water line.

This lady grew into a colourful mess, I would have liked to maybe keep her going for another week, but since I started giving her only water she faded out very quick. The buds smell really nice and lemony, but she did not frost up as I would have thought she would, maybe it was the pheno or on my part.

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)
