Whew, I am a few days late in posting but I have been MIA. Glad to be back to my plants and gardening. My faithful follower @hindugod even reached out to me to see why I was late in posting my pictures. Thanks for keeping up with me, as we are growing our Gorilla Cookies at the same time so as to compare our results. A Disney Vacation was good for me but not so much for my plants. I also left my husband and two livestock in charge of feeding and protecting my plants from the elements of nature. Gorilla Cookies continues to grow tall but her leaves are getting burned AND I have some very poor looking leaves. So I don't know if this is a feed problem or a Mother Nature problem or both???? Love taking pictures with my new magnifier. Love watching the flowering stage close up. It has been quite hot this past week, but hopefully we will get a break in the weather. Please continue to enjoy my diary and let's chat it up friends.

1/4: Crazy stink suddenly erupting from the closet over the past few days..ordered a new carbon filter and replaced all other carbon filters in the house...and 3 jars of skunk scrubber...worth a shot... 1/5: Now just have 13 plants in the closet, so maybe I can increase mass and density on the lowers a little better now. Moved the Platonium, Velvet Sugar Breath (Sugah Bref), and the GG4 into the tiny tent under a pair of Mars Hydro TS1000W's. They spent the first month of their lives in this tent, and they'll spend the last month in there as well. There's barely enough headroom for them, but they have a little more elbow room than they did in the closet. I think I'll put one of my 70w 3000k waterproof boards on the floor of the tiny tent facing upwards tomorrow and see if the temps are still manageable on mild days. 1/10: Very happy with all these girls! Even the Berry Bomb is showing potential, but the Wicked Stix plants are absolute stellar whoopass The trichs on the green Sucrose Overdose pheno look like river sand, or maybe brown sugar. Sexy. The red-leaved pheno has frost half way out its fan leaves and smells amazing. The Muscadine Wines are my favorite plants in the crop, though. Every bit as frosty as the SOs, but the sexy burgundy colorations make them special. Platonuium and Sugah Bref are also coming along very nicely. You can tell they've got something special brewing...wonderful aromas. The GG4 is the slowest flowering of the bunch, but she's gonna produce very well. Her branches are all over the place.

🌸 Mentha de Croco | Week 2 Flower (Week 13 from Seed) Grow Style: Indoor | Medium: Pro-Mix HP | Feed Program: Aptus Holland Clean Program | Genetics: Mentha de Croco by Terpyz Genetics Lighting: FOG LED Black Series | Controller: TrolMaster Photoperiod: 11/13 (Light/Dark) Camera: Sony A6000 capturing all the vibes ⸻ This week marks a major chapter in our Mentha de Croco mutant hunt: the second week of flower — and the official reveal of who’s who in the garden. As expected with regular seeds, we had both males and females, and this was the week we identified them all. From the original 12 beans, 5 revealed themselves as proud ladies while the rest — equally stunning in structure and expression — turned out to be males. 🌿 💚 Let’s talk about regular seeds and plant sex: Regular seeds are unsexed, meaning they can become either male or female. It’s a 50/50 genetic roll of the dice — and with unique mutant genetics like these, identifying sex isn’t always easy early on. Males typically show small pollen sacs, often referred to as “bananas” in their early stage. Females develop pistils, the first hairs of the flowers we’re after. Male plants, while beautiful and structurally fascinating (especially in this mutant project), can compromise a flowering room if left unchecked. Their pollen can fertilize female plants, leading to seeded buds — great if breeding, not great for clean flower. So, we say goodbye, thank them for their beauty, and move forward with the ladies to full bloom. The males? They’ll return to the earth as beautiful compost. 🌱✨ ⸻ This Week’s Feeding Schedule (Aptus Holland Clean Program): • Regulator – Strengthening cell walls and stress resistance • System Clean – Sanitizing the water lines (preventative, even if not in a system) • RO Water Conditioner – Prepping and balancing the base • All-in-One Liquid – Increased dose this week to 1.5 ml/L • Breakout Powder – Boosting early flower development • EC: 1.26 • pH: 6.0 • Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Update: All plants are now under SCROG netting — not because these particular girls needed it, but because they share the space with other cultivars. It’s all about harmony in the garden. The stretch is beginning, and the light intensity has been dialed up to match — PPFD around 800. We’re thrilled to see some early floral development already peeking through. The ladies are loving the new rhythm, and it’s clear they’re ready to shine in this next stage. ⸻ 📸 Captured Moments: This week’s shots include closeups of the male flowers for educational purposes, so the community can see what early male traits look like — especially in complex, mutant-style expressions. All captured with the Sony A6000 under those rich contrasts of dark and light. ⸻ 🙏 Shout Outs & Love: Much love and thanks to the brilliant minds at Terpyz Genetics for the wild beauty of these beans, Aptus Holland for the clean and powerful nutrition, TrolMaster for the precision control, and Future of Grow for the innovation we grow under. And of course — endless gratitude to the Grow Diaries community, the growers, the learners, the lovers and even the haters — it’s all energy, and it all fuels the passion. 💚 📲 Don’t forget to follow the journey on Instagram and YouTube — always sharing the love and the lessons 🌍 Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.

Melonade Runtz got harvested 16/11 and I'm planning to let her dry for 14-21 days before trimming and put them in glass+boveda (58%) and grove bags for final cure. Drying conditions are as follows: 16-18°C 55-60% RH

Semana 4 floración Fase: Máximo Engorde Estructural / Fin de Crecimiento Foliar ​El cogollo central se muestra denso y maduro estructuralmente, en pleno ciclo de ganancia de peso. La cubierta de resina es total y profusa, confirmando la alta eficacia de los protocolos de estimulación. Esta semana marca la última aplicación foliar de Algas Marinas y Aminoácidos, así como la segunda y última aplicación de Ácido Salicílico, para dar un impulso final a la producción de resina antes de suspender tratamientos foliares y evitar riesgos fúngicos en la floración avanzada. El control de drenaje y la medición de pH y PPM del lixiviado continúan siendo críticos para asegurar la salud radicular y la eficiencia en la absorción.

Estamos finalizando la semana número 3 y por lo que podemos ver, se ven genial, esperemos ver como comienzan a engordar a partir de ahora.

Put banana peels on the soil and cover with more soil, they are almost flowering 🍁🌺🌺

I seem to be having a problem with my one plants leaves starting to taco, it hasn't shown any signs of dying, I have ph'd my water to 6.5, yet the other three plants are growing great. --- Any input or ideas on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated ---

Ich habe nun ein Netz eingespannt damit jedem Trieb ein Quadrat bleibt, wenn diese nun etwas durch gewachsen sind schneide ich alles weg was unterm Netz hängt.

Today is day 82, should be harvested by now but due to user error the girls are still going. I did start the flush a few days ago so I am anticipating shutting the lights off on them in the next few days.

Week 16 november - 22 november

Jan. 1 - Happy New Year!!! Week 13 begins. Jan. 7 - Going to cut her down today or tomorrow, the trichomes told me to.

Most of the day the ladies are under a roof due to rain. Maybe tomorrow a bit of sunshine but the weekend doesnt look good. Like i said another rainy Day,hang in there ladies!

Las lluvias diarias están empezando a atrofiar mi cultivo en especial las plantas grandes que se les encontró un poco de oidio está semana les pondré un ventilador para controlar o disminuir la humedad igual limpiare toda la área afectada

Northern lights is doing good. She is starting to get a citrus aroma. I have been feeding twice a week. Everything is going well. I hst her some more mid week. Thank you Divine Seeds, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Desde el inicio mostró un crecimiento vigoroso, con una estructura fuerte y hojas de un verde intenso. Durante la floración, los cogollos se formaron densos, con una capa gruesa de resina y un aroma especial. La cosecha fue abundante y de excelente calidad, con flores compactas y pegajosas. El perfil de terpenos es realmente delicioso, y la potencia no se queda atrás. Sin duda, una variedad que repetiré. ¡FastBuds lo ha vuelto a hacer con esta impresionante genética!

Wow she's getting frosty!!

Very good week. The new plants are 24 days old. That’s how they are supposed to look at that age! They will be much bigger plants than the others because all was dialed in for this new batch. With autos there can’t be anything off or they won’t really get to big (typically). The older plants 6-8 weeks old - will be excellent smoke still just not as big as they can get. Start of week 9. The smaller plants are 31 days old. All looking very very good. I upped the cal/mag The TD and LS will harvest in around 3weeks. I always run them close to 1-2 weeks past recommended. They really frost up and gain weight the last 2 weeks. Excited about the new plants. When they are dialed in I’ve gotten 3-7 Zips from each plant. Pretty amazing for soil grow. Hydro is faster in the beginning and sometimes the entire grow but soil when all on point can keep up with hydro (after a few weeks) and lots of time surpass hydro. Definitely in taste and terpenoids. Happy growing! Any comments appreciated. I love learning about this wonderful plant!

Terminando la 3° semana desde germinación an tomado de buena gana en las macetas de 25 ya pronto subiré mas el panel y dentro de 2 semanas mas o menos se cambiara a 12-12 para comenzar la siguiente face
