Buds poppin' off nicely. Rigged up some bamboo skewers to spread the canopy. Scent's a wild mix - citrus vibes with that diesel kick. Like fuel-soaked shop rags, no joke. Word is this strain ain't a monster yielder, but don't sleep on it. Sometimes the lowkey ones surprise you. Can't wait to see how she turns out. Gonna be fire.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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!

She’s a beauty like her sister purple punch! She was number 2 to pop up (strawberry pie) and took to training straight away top of the class on mission catch up to purple... I defoliated and tied down through the weak shape shifting her into a lovely little bush! She has started to show signs that she also will start her pre flower stretch, so I’m excited to see what happens! I shuffled them around to suit age height etc as I will have to start raising my lights! In bloom I set these mars hydro leds to 12” and 18” during veg!

This girl needs to be defoliated regularly…I’ve been feeding her 3 gallons of water for the past week as the dry seasons steps in no problem.

readyyy

OK lots of excitement this week. I could stand by and watch no longer something had to be done, but what? Let's turn to the strange leaf problem first. Copper necrotic spots. WTF could this be, it's nothing to do with nutrients or pH that I'm pretty confident. Maybe it's just normal leaf dying. Whatever. I've supplied some photos where you can see a pattern of concentric rings. This tends to make it look more like some sort of mosaic virus, however if that were the case it would be everywhere. It looks like something was spilled on the plant but that did not happen. I don't deem this a problem at all but it's very very puzzling. Anyway after mulling the situation it seemed like it was about time this giant leaves were gone. So all the giagantic huge chunky leaves were removed. I figured whatever they are making there's plenty more healthy leaves to carry on the work. Plus I think it induces some shock to the plant. It will definitely shift hormones around but what effect that has I don't know. It looks like I've done a lot of work on this plant but I haven't really, just trying to see what she wants to do. So all that's happened is the first two branches that come out with the first baby leaves have been removed all other branches have developed normally. Then the four branches from the first two growing nodes have been pinned down to give the plant a bit of space. Edit: I've just pinned the lowest branches back a bit more and removed any fan leaves around the top as there seems to be plenty around.

New light, the MarsHydro sp3000 + 2x4 tent. Seedling looks great, cant wait to see coming weeks development.

Once again, I welcome you back to my summer grow🙂💚 Still adding more bloom and PK boost to the nutrients mix and also bumping up the light a bit 😎🤙🏻 This one is hungy compared to the others in the tent, one this one is showing signs, but I´ll try to fix it asap. I started to add UV/IR for one hour a day, mainly before lights go out 🙂 Happy growing y’all 💚 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SpectrumX LED🔥 @medicgrow 880 Watt⚡️ 2x UV/IR LED panels 💥 2.7 μmol/J🔥 Full Spectrum V1,F1,VS,FS🌈 Display with PPFD & Live spectrum Light measurement: Apogee MQ-610 & Apogee DLI-600.

My Gas Tax plant is looking insane. It's seriously the biggest plant I've ever grown, with these massive buds that are almost completely covered in this crazy purple and black coloring. I'm not gonna have to do much trimming at all, which is awesome. I've never seen anything like it. The past week has been awesome for drying my plants. The weather's been perfect – nice and dry, with just enough breeze to keep things moving. I finally got around to chopping down those two big plants I've been meaning to trim. They're almost ready, just need a little more time to dry out completely. I can't wait to see how they turned out.

COntinued to apply small amounts of pressure with LST but aside from that, letting her do her thing. Had to leave her for a few days and she got dehydrated, after a feed she perked up again but she's now started sucking all the nutes out of her lower growth. She has a lot so I'm hoping it doesn't affect the harvest. Would have preferred this to begin with my flush. For more content on all my grows please check out my Instagram! Link is on my profile!

Nada, otra semana más engordando un poco más y cambiando poco a poco los tricomas a color ámbar.

W15 - after successful ✂️ topping ESTHER recovers well. It seems like she is focusing now on developing her branches (9 pairs of them 😁 ). Using garden wire I spread branches out to let the sun rays make their magic 🌲💥 So she can become furrier and prettier 💃🏼

Chopping Time

So she was chopped (wet trimmed) yesterday (F74) and is now hanging up to dry at 55% RH and temps between 15 and 18ºc. I made fresh frozen dry ice hash today using a 160 micron bubble bag, a flat surface, 8kg of dry ice and a couple 5 gal buckets. I already have the weights for that, which far exceeded my expectations. Those figures I will post once she is dried and in 1 quart screw top glass jars. People suppose dry ice hash is inferior quality vs bubble hash. I am not experienced enough to comment on that but must say it is extremely easy to make hash with dry ice, it took 40 mins to process 995g of trim which included sugar leaves, some stems and popcorn buds. I then pressed it into 3.5g briquettes for storage using a pollen press. As you can see from videos, this stuff is all blonde - and after already trying some today with some friends, it knocked our boots off! Will be back in 5-7 days with harvest figures, smoke analysis and other details! Happy growing all! P.s I ticked defoliation this week - the only week I intentionally cut any leaves off for the entire grow 😉

The first Glookies and Permanent Marker Auto seed went dormant. I had to germinate another one. Glookies 3 days old Permanent Marker 7 days old 1 l of reverse osmosis watering every 3 days

26.4.25: The plants were watered with 3 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, containing the following nutrients:- ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 1/4 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys. 27.4.25: I LST'd again by adjusting the tie downs. For FastBuds Mystery seed auto #1 and RQS Northern Lights autoflower, this will probably be the last time I adjust the fabric ties, as they're now well in to flower. Keeping the canopy as even as possible. 29.4.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has taken very quickly to the readjustment of the fabric ties. Within an hour, the plant had already grown back towards the light. That's always so crazy to me. I watered 3 litres 2 days ago, and I'm not going to water again until it has dried. I suspect that will be at the end of the week. The larger pots are a learning curve with trying to water adequately but not too much. I don't think that I've ever overwatered, I never water to run off. This time came uncomfortably close though Thanks for checking my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

Fo' Twenny Back with another update on our Orange Sherbert from Barney's Farm! She is looking really good this week. She did start to show some deficiencies after flushing Friday 8/28. Otherwise she looks super healthy with leaves "praying" to the canna-gods! Now, on with the deets! LIGHTING: Increased lighting at dimmer last week with good results. Was about 70k LUX on average @ Canopy. Turning it up a bit more this week. 8 Outer Boards @ 665.5w 6 Inner Boards @ 601w LUX APP MAXES OUT READING 78750 LUX @ Canopy. Lets hope its not too much! RHIZOSPHERE: If you didn't tune into the last update, I had just flushed pots due to high PPM runoff. pH of runoff was at 6.3. PPM and pH are tested using 2 separate calibrated BlueLab meters. All Water/Fertilizer is shared by 3.25 plants (.25 because autoflower gets less than a quarter the volume of the larger plants) 2 GAL PLAIN H20 w/fungicide prior to feed PH to 6.0 1 tsp/gal of Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide - Bacillus bacteria known as Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens (OMRI Organic Bacterial Innocclant/compare to Hydroguard) Waited 15 minutes after plain H2O and fungicide 5 gallon tap H20 through 2 KDF filters START PH: 7.5 (taken from reservoir that contains impurities/residue from previous feeds) START PPM: 500 (also taken from reservoir) TEMP: 76°F .125 tsp Ascorbic Acid added to help reduce chlorine/chloramine WEEK 4 FEED SCHEDULE: .5 tsp/gal Sledgehammer (Surfactant) .125 tsp/gal Gringo Rasta Cal-Mag 1 tsp/gal BIG Bloom .5 tsp/gal Grow Big .5 tsp/gal Tiger Bloom .25 tsp/gal Kelp Me Kelp You .75 tsp/gal BEMBE .25 tsp/gal Beastie Blooms (Increased due to low ppm of solution) PPM: 1150 Added to Increase PPM .5 tsp/gal Tiger Bloom PPM: 1350 PH: 5.8 1 tsp/gal RECHARGE .6 ml/gal MAMMOTH P PH: 5.9 PPM: 1490 Thanks for checking out my diary.
