1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258 1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow. 1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!! I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system: Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil PH DOWN= 30mil Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance. 1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0 1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today. 1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!! 1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. One more week of flowering for these plants and then harvest after 9 weeks of flowering.. Things are good here. I got 1 big flush in. Should be able to get 2 more flushes in this week. And I like a couple of days of dark before harvest. I'll show some pictures of, before the harvest, next week. I see some of the buds are heavy enough to start heading for the floor. I though I tied them up tight. 😏 Ok. Be Great. Chuck.

2/26 Week 9 /3 flower Still looking for their nuet levels. Reducing CT Bloom by 25% just learning the DTW system and how these strains act. Still white tips, run off at 650 ppm so not sure whats the deal yet. Upping PK to 5ml/gal Lights doing well, should have done this long ago 2/27 The very first signs of a mag def began so keeping the feed at 4ml/gal and wait to see what develops. Basically the same thing that happened when I did this in veg. Till I hear back from Fast Buds or someone has a suggestion just going to sit on it and keep em healthy. PK to 5ml/gal Switching to HPS light in the HID tomorrow as the stretch seems to have ended. Update: Fast Buds got back so quickly, thanks. Going to let the white tips go and watch other factors for feeding. The tips were always my marker for nitrogen so will watch color and curl from here on. Going up to 5ml/gal on the bloom nuets at the morning feeding. Use that as a base line from here on Thanks @HighRoller909 You are on the same wavelength as Fast Buds 👍 2/28 Looking well All nuets at 5ml/gal In PPM 750 - Out PPM 800 - Not surprising given the increase HPS installed - light defoliation of canopy Smells and buds - Buds will be greenish primarily with a predominate berry/fruity smell you only get during defoliation at this point. Yall want to start a pool on what these may be? 😏 Change of view: Looking back if I had to be honest I would flip week 7 from flower to veg. I really dont think it took till maybe the last day or two of the week. Slightly important as we are looking closely at finishing time on these strains. Going to keep a day count of flower from here and this will be ... 2/28 Day 10 of flower 2/29 Day 11 Adjusted nuets slightly increased to 800ppm by increasing CocoTek and decreasing slightly the PK. Increased runoff to 25% for a mini-flush 3/2 Day 13 Flower Flipped week 7 to veg, just reflects reality a bit better. Leaving things as is for now, pics when I can I smell Creme-Cookies , odor hit 3/3 Day 14 of flower Ending week , nothing visual has really changed so no pics till later. The feeding schedule seems to be doing everything I could want but will continue to up it slightly tomorrow. Eliminating the silicon, done what its going to do as the stretch has ended completely and plenty in the pot. Putting them under the MH until it slowed down worked. Light defol today just getting leaves off buds. Defoliating all the unproductive branches (loofy buds nothing firm) tomorrow to get that energy where it needs to go. Ok so its some kind of cookies but sweeter than I am used to so sticking with Cookies and Cream for my guess on FF7 FF5 is still puzzling, sweet fuel is all I can peg. And another week in the books 😜

Popped these seeds on Monday (30/03/20). Germination Method: Soaked seeds in Vitathrive overnight and transferred to Jiffy pellets. I used the excess water with Vitathrive to soak the pellets 👍. Two days later, what I’ll reference now as P1, popped out. P2 is two days behind. These seeds were sent from BF over a year ago. Day 5 - Placed both in 1 Gallon fabric pot with an amended Coco Coir mix. Grow medium (per 1 Gallon) in Vivosun 1 Gal Fabric pot. Coco Coir, 1.5 TBSP of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 2 TBSP Earthworm Casting. I debated doing a synthetic run again but love the simplicity of using Gaia Green. I will start early giving the plants some Organic Cal-Mag for General Organics. Outcome of mix TBD LoL... Lights: HLG 65W 4000k QB for the first 2-3 weeks depends on space. HLG 95W - Week 3 to 6 or until the 3x3’ tent is open for business. I plan (I change my mind on a daily so we’ll see) to do a two plant in a 3x3’ flowering tent under the HLG QB 288 (260W 3000k) Game Plan Last grows I had amended my mix with Feather Meal which caused Nitrogen Toxicity in both plants. For this run I plan to start extremely light and adjust accordingly, meaning I’ll top dress with FM as needed or maybe at week 2. Plants currently under humidity dome with vents open as I have the strawberry nuggets on the other side finishing up (need low humidity for the next two weeks). Veg time will be at most 6 weeks if I’m running both plants in my flowering tent. Recommend flowering time for this strain is 9-10 weeks therefore plenty of growth will occur once the switch is flipped to 12/12. Why Phantom OG? We’ll I’m a fan of Sativa Dominant Hybrids. Read great reviews on this strain and looks like a strain that will produce enormous buds, to be seen.

This week about day 46 or so I did a heavy defoliation and some branch bending/LST to get more light to the newly forming bud sites as well as to even out the canopy a little more. She is requesting a little more frequent watering about every 2-3 days and I go until I see run off and I let the run off sit for about 8-12 hrs to allow the medium to absorb as much as it wants then dump off the remaining. I am starting to notice a slight smell now that the flowing has started it’s very earthy and kind of like fresh grass. After adding the Dr earth last week I have not seen any more yellowing of my leaves which is a huge relief. At this point I’m going to be as hands off as I can some simple fan leaf tucking and maybe some branch bending to keep the smaller bud sites open to light as they seem to be swallowed up after a day or two and the fan leaves raise back up. I would like to find Dr earth bloom to add as a top dress either this week or next if I can find it just to give it a little more of a boost. I’m trying to keep this grow as organic as possible and probably will continue to be my niche for every grow going forward until I have it perfectly dialed in. I’m not seeing much more of a stretch and assume this plant will be a little stalky girl I’m hoping the main colas fill out decently and I’m hoping by the next grow I have a better light set up that may help my production of bud sites when she flips to flower. I also plan to start a more detailed journal at home that specifies what days into the grow I do what for better accuracy and to improve future grows. I just hope I get at least some harvest on my first try! Happy growing thanks for stopping by!

Esa familia, nuevo LST con misty gorilla autofloreciente, empezaremos de momento con 2/3 misty gorillas con este método de cultivo. Uno de los ejemplares me parece algo pequeño aun como para andar atando nada. Añadi BETA SHARK , quite el producto de crecimiento, y aporte el producto de floración de la gama BLACK LINE de AgroBeta. También quite el enraizante, ya que fácilmente consigo buenos cepellón es y con varias semanas de dosis son suficientes. Ph controlado en 5.8 humedad entorno al 45%, la temperatura no sube nunca a los 27 grados , se queda siempre en 26 poco. Se las ve con buen color , un tallo bastante manejable, fueron atados entre 2 y 3 nudos por planta con alambre forrado. Espero que os gusten las fotos e imágenes ya que gracias a Zambezaseeds, marshydro y AgroBeta es posible este cultivo, un saludo fumetillas 💨💨💨💨.

🌿 Mentha de Croco – Harvest Report | Week 19 from Seed (End of Week 8 Flower) 🌿 By Terpyz Mutant Genetics And just like that, we close this incredible chapter in our mutant journey. 💚 After 19 weeks from seed, including a long, loving veg phase and a wild 8 weeks of flower, our girls have reached the final moment: Harvest. Each one was chopped with gratitude and admiration, then gently hung to dry, where they will now rest for about two weeks under carefully controlled conditions: 🌡️ 18–20°C 💧 60% RH …A slow, respectful cure to allow all those unique expressions to settle and shine. These plants were peculiar from the start, true mutants, each with her own story, her own twist of leaf, her own rhythm. What they lacked in size or symmetry, they made up for with character, energy, and intense presence. Let’s talk terps: The dominant aroma is deeply chemical, like nail polish, with a gas note that grabs the senses. It’s bold, loud, unapologetically strange, and that’s what makes it so special. This isn’t your everyday garden — this is an experience. No two flowers are alike. The phenotypes are as if sculpted by nature’s abstract brush, perfect in their imperfection, from the shape of the colas to the twist of every leaf. 📸 We’ve shared photos of their final moment standing — each one captured in her full glory before the shears came in. May they live on through memory, resin, and smoke. ⸻ Dry & Cure Notes: They’re hanging now in a dark, clean space, and we’ll aim to maintain the 60/60 rule (60% RH / 18–20°C) for the next 10–14 days before trimming and jarring for cure. Expectations are high. We’re hoping for smooth smoke, complex flavors, and some deep mutant magic in the effects. ⸻ 🌱 Shout-outs to the dream team: @terpyz_mutant_genetics – creators of this beautiful madness 💧 @aptus_holland – for the cleanest mineral recipe in the game 💡 @futureofgrow – lighting the path forward 📊 @trolmaster.agro – keeping every condition dialed in 💚 And always, the Grow Diaries community – friends, followers, lurkers, lovers & haters alike. You’re part of this journey. 📲 Follow us on IG & YouTube for more madness, inspiration, and behind-the-scenes freak shows. ⸻ This isn’t just a harvest… it’s a celebration of weirdness, patience, and beauty. Until the next round — thank you for growing with us. Growers love. Always DD 💚 Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G. Future Of Grow https://www.thefuturofgrow.com/en/online-store/BLACK-SERIES-600-p489093171 Controls @ TrolMaster https://www.trolmaster.eu/tent-x Let’s see what next week brings! 🚀 As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciloved and i fell honored with you all in my life With true love comes happiness Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. The journey with nature is one of discovery, creativity, and respect. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together! Growers Love To you All 💚

Week 5, just took down the othwr side. Was experimenting with bleach for sterilization. Unfortunately it resulted in an extremely poor yield, from one of my big producers. Have switched over to a benificial bacteria mix, which includes some molasses, folic acid, Humic ac8s and sea kelp. Product is called Hydro Bio

Day 113 Flower 51 Remaining 20ish WOW the colas are getting just crazy but the branches are starting to lean too much for my liking so I'll have to deal with that ASAP! Been crazy busy this week so didnt get to chat much with the fam but I'll be back to routine this week. A few of the lower leaves have some color fade which startled me but i'm guessing is ok as were nearing the flush here. one leaf is really messed up that i cut off. in the pic u can see the messed up leaf but also an overhead shot shows where the yellowing is happening. Other then that I think things look great?!?! One cola is just friggin massive, specially for a 80% sativa. About a foot long and damn near pop can size. trying to think of anything I will need to buy for harvest. anything I might have not thought of? i'm gonna get a small mayb 2x2 tent for drying that I'll rig up with many poles running across so that would work. mayb an exhaust fan with carbon filter? or just an oscilating fan at the bottom with the top vents open and call it a day?? EDIT: WOW!!!! Today was the first time I've ever seen the true color. I was there ready right when the main light turns off waiting with the LED sunblaster to see and wow i'm just amazed how green and beautiful these ladies are!! I thought the cmh was off a little but i didnt realize they were so pretty!! You can easily tell which 4 pics are with the sunblaster light

Hey yall! Super stoked to show yall some beneficial nematodes in my soil. Lots of other beneficials in there, the nematodes are the most fun to me! Love to show yall what Korean Natural Farming and JADAM can do. This is all Natural, all organic, all homemade inputs. I just want to prove to you all, the entire community, and the entire cannabis industry that you don't need to drop money on your inputs. You can source everything yourself! Remember, Bottles are for Babies! 🍼 👶 You don't need to buy into anything, you don't need to invest in anything, but YOURSELF! You are the most valuable tool, you are the most dangerous thing on this Earth 🌎 I want to be a resource to everyone and anyone who is willing to be open minded and learn. It doesn't matter your background, where you live, what color you are, or what is in your past. Your future and the future of this Earth is in your (our) hands. Togetherness over oneness Anyways, weekly compost tea applications and quality compost gets you gold! Also hand crafted inputs with love makes a huge difference. Use what you have near you, if you are wildcrafting inputs, be sure to not take from nature without giving back. Recycle, use less chemicals, pour your extra compost tea in your community. We can stop this wild climate change, but we can seriously slow it down, almost completely if we all do our part. I hope these posts inspire you to go down that rabbit hole 🐇 🐰 and get your hands dirty. Use and reuse the same soil, use larger pots or go in a living bed if possible. Have fun and learn something each day, pass on love ❤️ 😍 learn from your mistakes, that is what makes us stronger. No matter the mistake in your garden, or in life, we can always learn something new about life and ourselves. You are not alone on this journey, I got your back, and I truly believe in you. Peace and blessings to all! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗

Veg44, defoliación grande, y ajuste de amarras. Siempre digo que será la última defoliación y termino defoliando más, ahora a qué crezcan un poco más antes del cambio 12/12 Veg46, las plantas están ya recuperadas y creciendo a buen ritmo. Veg48, riego con solo Sensizym y Sensi CalMag, con pH 6.3 y EC 0.8, drenaje de EC 1.9 y pH 6.1(ok). Debido al crecimiento de debe ajustar amarras y quitar una que otra hoja.

Hi there my beloved stoners who take all the pain about reading these text walls, i'm taking this week as nutrient schema week because, as i changed to a new substrate i have to deal with new shit as i'm trying to bond over with these new medium. Organic Life Light mix is a local product that can be found mostly in Chile and some parts of South America as well. There is no much review about it but most insights nevertheless if the brand can be considered on the u get what you pay acording to its price , is more than that as it's a bit more complex to grow on a peat moss & coco coir mix and noticed it as im having some nutrient issues (detailed below ) as well watering is different , dear readers i have experienced it as well ! . I can make accountable the substrate on these ones 4 days evolved in a good and a bad way at the same time , as it's seems to be really light & airy gives the advantage of seeing some more faster growth , but at the same time has quite low nutritional value as older leaves already becoming yellow, yet discarding a nutrient block due excess because no edges are burnt , also considering the shit i used previous week is pretty organic and i stay on the lower doses. This gave me a bit more of dependency and record on the food i give to my babies, the reason that spams this post itself, if this CalMag helped to correct the issues depicted on photos as exampled. Hope this doesn't evolve to the worst hahahahahaha. (If anything shitty happens or something cryptic goes beyond my understanding i will post it , yet the update on 28/08 shows everything went better than expected! 😇). I discard tap water quality as secondary cause on the issue (water from a faucet ) as if that shit were causing glitches, it could have happened on the start of my previous grow too! And the substrate was different too, on the bright side now i have to think that its easier to correct carencies more than excess as well. On the space aspect also sorted the light bulbs to be closer to the plants now that are a bit more matured rather than seedlings, it's a 4000k & 6500k dominant mix according to what is better to vegging itself and changed it to 3 different modules to play with height if have some stretching differences between the killer kush f1 siblings. BIG GAS LEAKS CRUSTY MOTHERFUCKERS AND XUPENLA MIANDO CTM !!!
