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!

I took these on my Snapchat is why there is so many of them 😅 I'm currently doing the 48 hours of darkness to help produce more trichomes. I did SO MUCH to this plant, it looks like it will DEFINITELY have some weight to it, but you will have to wait until it's dry 😄

week 2 six shooter in vertafort So this i either the smallest pheno of the three already, or simply one that didnt take to the transplant very well or maybe myfault if it got molested somehow. Anyway it's the wettest on the hygrometer scale still the earth got a bit compacted i guess, shame because most of the work will be going on down there after all. with the fan fixed now pointing directly up, might get the vpd up a bit, this six shooter is the only six shooter out of the three with a leaf temp at -3 , my bottom half purple cous kush, fbt 5 and fbt 1 are all at - 3 too. ah well, i've seen worse problems. she'll get topped up with light mix, watered with cal mag and aloe gel , for now she got one kelp spray this week pHed to 6.0 with GHE dry pH down at 0.1 grams for 250ml with cal mag in it at half a spoonful. spraying the soil with amino acid concentrate a 0.25ml for 250ml to try to rectify the pH of the soil after i "missed" a lot with the spray and it got to my soil. can't wait to start co2 that's it !

Weeeeek 9. What's cooking good looking. She looks like she'll finish up on schedule in about 3 weeks time. Currently 20% milky 5% amber trichs. Been feeding with extra dose of bloom to give the buds extra weight and happy with progress this week.

This Green Crack was my 3rd round of started seeds in my perpetual garden of auto's. I decided to get a little experimental and try topping and bending this girl at the beginning of the flowering stretch (about a week ago). So far she has not missed a beat, she just keeps stretching and growing. Starting to see the bud sites develop. One branch did take a little damage from the bending, but I put some blue painters tape on it and expect a full recovery. Growing in organic composted 'super soil'. Have not added any additional nutrients yet. Looks great to me so far.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Girls are moving forward without troubles, i'm pleased not having to deal with issues. I'm breaking down the feeding schedule like: Sensi Base + Bigbud*(or pk booster) + Recharge > VeloKelp+Natures Candy+Bigbud*. So there is constant feed, every other day mixed in 1.5l water. Once a week i give Cal Mag 2ml /l. Not touching the girls with any HST or stress since I switched to flower. Is the first time i'm running recharge from the beginning to the end, have to say that is solid. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ What a pleasure to see that many colas and a vibrant girl giving fruits! 😎👊 I'm very curious to see the results in this one, solid strain! Aroma is gasy and diesel like.

after some problems he is recovering by giving him only water and canna cure this week 31st day it seems to be recovering, today I browsed through it 😎 Day 34 it seems to have improved already. I just give him water for a few more days

It is day 30 and we are finally seeing some growth starting after a few days of being locked out due to what I believe is from nutrient burn. Won’t go as heavy next top dress. I have ordered a soil ph pen which will be arriving tomorrow so that I can’t test my soil ph and the run off. Until then I have ph'd the water to 6.0 to hopefully stimulate more growth before flower. These plants are very short but stacked! I can’t wait to see how big they are at pre flower. After it’s 3rd week stretch. Reach for the skies bitches! Watering less aswell. I believe iam overwatering because I go days without seeing these girls. Exhale c02 bag doing well. Resembles mould at the moment. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s visited my diary. I hope to bring you great content! Always open to helpful suggestions. Stay tuned! Day 34 and we are at pre flower. See those hairs comin. Now they all gonna streeeeeetch. Drop a comment, like, or just offer me some advice. We’re all family here ✌️. Doin a little LST now that the space between the nodes are far enough for me to feel comfortable doing so. There was no where to put them no matter how slow I tried haha. Also have each girl in something that resembles the cross face chicken wing from the WWE. Little fan on fan action. It’s like the leaves were meant to stuck together. The knotches in the leaves interlock I mean. I stretch the upper fan leaf to the one directly below it. Opening up both shoots. Hope they made sense lmao.

And that's all folks!! Turned out very leafy and gave me 38g in total dried and cured. She may not have smelt of much or anything like her other sister but still a nice knockout high.....struggled with it having wake n bakes hahaha. Cheers all who followed this. I'm now onto Fastbuds Fastberry and RQS Royal Gorrilla. I did have a Fastbuds Stardawg on the pop but she turned into a he....she :( Anyway still worth a follow ;)

Hi everyone :-) This week it has become a real bush 😍. I will watch the whole thing a bit, and put it in the flower chamber in the next 10-15 days :-). Otherwise there is nothing to tell this week, everything is going well 👍.

Bad Guy is thriving, but some lower leaves are yellowing. I've boosted feeding and will keep a close eye. Despite that, its upward growth is impressive, and I'm excited to see how it progresses. 😊🌿

BIGGER:STRONGER:FASTER #NITROHAZE #OUTDOORGANG D55 ah sido una semana muy fria con nada de sol en los ultimos dos dias, se sigue estirando y creciendo. Las noches frias y humedas mantienen muy humedo el sustrato... intento regar poco y solo con nutriente. Delta 8 y 9. 1 riego semanal de micorrizas-wonderland. D57 hoy porfin es un dia con sol . Todos los dias anteriores a partir del dia 50 fueron muy frios y sin nada de sol (Estamos entrando a invierno en mi localidad), la tierra se mantiene muy humeda por lo frio de las noches, intento regar solo una vez a la semana y es con fertilizantes Cannabiogen. Aun no vuelvo a regar foliar con jabon potasico, pero basto con un riego para eliminar bichos de la planta. D60 Nos cambiamos de casa, por eso tambien comenzaran a variar laa horas de sol directo a medida que vaya viendo horas de sol y acomodandome en la casa nueva. Se ve super sana ah crecido bastante, quiero hacer algun corte (FIM o Apical) pero me da miedo de afectar algo. Temperaturas siguen bajas, poco riego porque mantiene el sustrato humedo por el clima. Y solo riego con 1LT de agua y soluciones nutritivas cannabiogen. D61 Hoy no aguante hice corte FIM. Una vez que en las ramas secundarias crezcan dos nodos hare apical en esas ramas, el cambio de casa me obligo a realizar stress FIM. Proximamente le sumare LST

So hears my thoughts?? Instead of giving my "sensi grow COCO" dude gave me the normal sensi grow which as I'm a newbie, I didn't realize??? Was happily feeding it to my girls THINKING im@ 6.5ph which I CLEARLY wasn't!!!! Anyways, I brought Cal-mag agent from canna and they fuckin love it!!!!!! ALL my new growth is nice and green :) I'm now ph'ing to 6.0 and THINK I've rolled all my issues back????? Feeding now 1.0ml a&b with 0.70ml Cal-mag, will lower my calmag to around 0.30ml and over the next few days then feed that throughout my grow cycle, if they get to green ill obviously remove it from my regime...

We are gonna up pot today. There was one that the shell of the seed stayed on Alil longer than I like but I don’t like to touch them to much at this stage. But I did help the little one out and take it off yesterday. They have been in these for 6 days. Took 48 hours to pop the tap root. And now we are gonna be moving them to make them much happier. Will post updates soon

It’ll take me 30 min to trim this whole plant just the way I like it. Most likely be the first one to come down also need to get her ready.

everything is fine. I'm continuing with the volume👌🏻. aroma in the growing room - old mother cooks cherry jam🍒🍒🍒

Day 35 21/10 set up the net so it is easier to train out branches. the buds develop nicely. it grows nicely turned into 24/0 light again after trying 21/3 for a while likes 24 better

been such a great week, temps perfect, humidity is low enough (could be lower) but is what it is! i am going to start flush next week for my girls that are ready! I've introduced calmag at this stage too as they all needed it! i stay with advice given and defoliate as i go as these colas are supersizing and frosting, i have introduced calmag as she needed it and will continue for a week and see where shes at until finish so i can plan more accurately for harvest. ill say shell go the whole 10wks bloom hope you enjoy the video...... but i know you will :} confident

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de crecimiento de estas FBA2506 de FastBuds. Las 5 semillas una vez germinadas son plantadas directamente en macetas de 5,5 litros y salieron las 5, 100% de éxito en el ratio. La tierra que utilizamos que está en la publicación anterior es top crop all mix, Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2, regando cada 48 horas e intentando mantener la humedad un poco alta al principio. Las próximas semanas vamos viendo cómo avanzan. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
