Week 5 Veg Report: Croco Mutants A Quick Recap: The journey with my Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco girls has been a ride full of unique beauty and challenges. Here’s a quick look back at our progress: Week 1 (Germination): Using TheCannaKan, the seeds sprouted quickly in a controlled environment. They were then moved to Root Riots with nutrients from Aptus Holland, setting the stage for healthy development. Week 2: The first set of funky leaves began to emerge, showcasing the distinct and peculiar traits that make these mutants so special. Feeding started with Aptus Regulator, Startbooster, CalMag Boost, and All-in-One Liquid—a well-rounded blend to support their growth. Week 3: These funky beauties continued to amaze, displaying different leaf structures and growth patterns. The environment remained stable, and photos with my Nikon and Sony cameras captured their vibrant essence. Week 4: A dip in temperatures brought on slower growth, but the girls adapted well. Organic Aptus All-in-One Pellets were introduced into the soil mix for consistent nutrition, while bottom watering started to combat gnats. Week 5: Slow Growth, Unique Beauty This week has been all about patience, observation, and admiration. The mutants are growing at their own pace, but each plant’s unique beauty and dark green vibrance make it worth the wait. Environmental Update: Temperature: The cold has settled in further, with daytime temps at 18°C and nighttime dropping to 14°C. While slower growth is expected in these conditions, the plants are adapting and maintaining their health. Humidity: RH remains stable at 65%, providing just enough moisture to support their development without creating excess stress. Feeding & Watering: The same Aptus Holland nutrient solution is being used this week: Regulator (0.15 ml/L): Strengthens cell walls, helping the plants adapt to colder conditions and maintain their vigor. CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Supplies essential calcium and magnesium for strong, healthy foliage. Startbooster (0.25 ml/L): Encourages root development and early-stage robustness. All-in-One Pellets : A complete nutrient solution providing the base nutrition these girls need already in the soil. Additionally, I’m continuing with bottom watering, where the trays are filled to let the soil absorb water passively. This has been effective in keeping gnats at bay, especially when combined with yellow sticky traps. Bottom watering also encourages the roots to grow downward, seeking moisture and building a stronger foundation. Growth Observations: Each plant remains a unique masterpiece: Leaves: The diversity of shapes, sizes, and structures is remarkable. From jagged edges to rounded tips, every plant tells its own story. Color: The deep, dark green is a testament to their health and the effectiveness of the Aptus feeding regimen. Despite slower growth, they’re thriving in their own way. Cloning or Flipping to 12/12: I’ve been debating whether to: Flip to 12/12 for a week to induce pre-flowering and identify males and females, or Take clones when they’re large enough and flip the clones instead. Each approach has its benefits: Flipping the plants: Speeds up the process of sex identification but temporarily halts vegetative growth. Cloning and flipping the clones: Preserves the original plants in veg while testing the clones for sex. This method is more time-consuming but allows the mother plants to continue growing. I’m leaning toward cloning when the plants reach the right size, as it seems the most practical for maintaining momentum with these unique mutants. Photography Update: This week, I brought out my Nikon and Sony cameras again, using different lenses to capture the intricate details of the plants. From close-ups of water droplets creating reflections to stunning macros of leaf textures, the results truly showcase their beauty. Why Use a Camera Over a Phone? Lens Flexibility: With interchangeable lenses, I can adjust for macro shots, wide angles, or depth of field, something even the best phone cameras can’t fully replicate. Detail and Clarity: DSLR and mirrorless cameras capture a higher dynamic range and more intricate details, elevating the visual storytelling.

This plant drinks like a camel

Ripper seeds knocked it out of the fucking park with this one. I have no idea what she will yield, but I can tell you this entire plant is just stacked colas from top to bottom. With that being said, I do believe I low stressed trained her far too long and hurt her yield significantly. I did LST from day 30 until day 38, so I believe I lost out on far too much vertical growth during the stretch. I am going to adjust on my next grow and only LST the top 4 mains for about 2-3 days just to allow the bottom 4 mains to catch up. This Acid Dough absolutely reaks, and smells stronger than anything I have grown so far. The trichomes are almost ready, and she is only drinking plain water from my dehumidifier at this point. I am planning on harvesting her on Sunday, and I am working on a little 4th of July harvest video. This will also be my last (flowering) run with the Mars Hydro TS 1000 as I just received a couple new lights from Mars Hydro and ViparSpectra. The Mars Hydro TS1000 was a fucking champ, and I will still use her for vegging my autos. I will be running one auto under the Mars Hydro FC3000, and another auto under the ViparSpectra XS2000 from here on out. I am also running a timelapse of my Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds, and since I am only running 2 autos now, I actually have room for it! Unlike the Wedding Cheesecake, I am totally looking forward to trimming this Acid Dough Auto, and I believe it will take less than half the time. This is absolutely one I will be growing again! Thanks for stopping by all, be safe and Blaze On!!!

At long last, the trimming has finally ended. This diary was started late in her life but the age of her was accurate at the time. We had many outdoor issues with her, some normal and some not so normal. For starters, the mildew was expected with this strain but we grew it anyway and we fought it all season long but in the end she came out of the wash looking pretty clean. It is possible that this could have to do with the fact that the raccoons had a swim in our little pool and upon leaving they tore it. This of course flooded some parts of our yard and this girl soaked up the most of it, she bleached quite a bit but she seemed to recover slowly over the following 5 weeks. Bud rot was not at all an issue and the final months of the outdoor growing season were spectacularly beautiful, most of our trimming took place in the sunshine this year. Please note- there was no time for weighing in nor is it a concern for us.

7/11 It's pouring. We got like 2 in of rain. I compared the flowering with that of the mendo breath I grew in a previous journal and they are real close. Tjat was DONE DONE in September. Judging by the small preflowers they are going to be ready approximately around the same time. I think I'm going to have a middle September harvest with some and some will go to October. Realistically, I should've changed this to flower. I like to call it "the stretch" though. Plants are stretching like a mother fucker. Seems like the less I fuck with them the better they do! No nutes yet. I'm going on vacation for a week and I think I won't feed before I leave either. Plants don't look like they are lacking in anything. Just because I have tons of nutes doesn't mean I need to use them. Still need to put up the secondary supports for flower. Went over after a break in the rain. Went through each plant one by one. Most had leaves that were either turning yellow or yellow at the bottom interior. I only removed leaves that were dead or dieing. I should probably have degoliated more but I'm doing the KISS method this year. Things seem to be doing good that way. Some minor pests. I found a slug but put out slug bait for those and earwigs. Noticed a few white flies and multi color flies (probably fungus knats but they are up at the top, not down by the soil. I'm going to think about it and do some research. Damage is so MINIMAL and pests are MINIMAL that im holding off spraying. I mat start nutes tomorrow though. I'm uncertain on a lot of things. I need to meditate on it. Just because those interior leaves died the plants are still a LUSH dark green so I think they're alright. It's going really good but I'm going to be on vacation for a week. I can still monitor daily with my camera's and my family that is watching them will FaceTime me every morning and show me what's going on. They know what they're doing and if something arises I have BASICALLY a growers union in my town. All family. We look after each other. That's the only reason I considered even going. However, the event horizons, sherb pie, toasted toffy and AT LEAST 1 GMO "LOOK" like they will be flowering early. Like I said they look similar to a mendo breath pheno on another diary that finished in September. We shall see. I'm excited that's for sure! 7/12 So far no rain! Super hot and muggy. Killed a jpn beetle and a moth larvae this morning and another beetle this afternoon. I'm seeing SOME pest damage which makes me want to spray before some of these plants take off flowering. There isn't much damage and tje birds sit on the top just WAITING for a chance to swoop in and grab something. I've seen tons of wasps tjis year. I killed a snail yesterday and put out slug bait around my pallets. I'm leaving early tomorrow. I'm CONSIDERING doing an application of Cap'n Jack's before I leave. I'm not sure. I made little DIY videos for dad and I hope he follows them. If not I'll have another grower come help. With all the rain I noticed some white flies when I shook a couple plants. I don't have time to really deal with it right now. There were only a few and I think spinosad would kill those too. Either way it will be fine. I can monitor via camera. I can even hit an alarm that goes to four different people. Still. I don't like leaving my girls. Especially in this heat. 7/13 Left early for a short vacation. Just got a picture saying it's sunny there and my plants are doing good. I'm lucky to havecthe crew that I do. I'm sure if I asked they'd put up yellow sticky traps. That's something I may consider. 7/14 Dad said it Rained last night and driving down here it was just PURE SHEET RAIN. He sent me pics I uploaded and everything looks GREAT! gonna get sun after all that rain and wind. They are gonna explode! 7/15 Still on Vacation. Dad showed me the plants and said they looked a little dry so I had him use the 4 GALLONS OF WATER I HAD PREMIXED FOR HIM TO WATER THE GARDEN. This way each plant gets a half gallon. It's supposed to be in the 90's with no rain tonight. Rains euppised to come tomorrow but I've seen how fast a bag can dry out in ONE day with super hot weather and high winds. The wind blows through the bag drying the medium out. Dad's right. Things do look amazing. I'm having fun but it will be nice to get back and see if I was right and those few plants are trying to flower. Looks just like those two mendo phenomes that flowered early. 7/16 still on vacation. Got a nice rain for the plants. Not much though. 7/17 Had DAD WATER FOUR GALLONS ON THE GARDEN. ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT. I really miss my girls. I'm ready to get going and start doing the things that need to be done. Few more days and I'll be home with my pretty ladies. Last time I came back to nice little flowers. They looked about in the same stage when I left. I love early finishers. They're stretching thsts for sure.

A ver...ya es muy claro que estamos llegando a final de ciclo. Las hojas primarias amarillas no dejan dudas. La Anaconda es una cepa muy interesante. Un híbrido muy tirado a skunk con unos aromas que no engañan y que nos dejan entender que viene seguro un material de humo sobresaliente. Ha sido una experiencia muy interesante mucho por lo desconocido de Anaconda Seeds y sus cepas. En concreto está será su cepa estrella, por el nombre del banco ser el nombre de la cepa y sin duda que aquí habrá algo muy bueno. Cara a las ultimas semanas y por qué hay que darle fuerza a que ganen tanto lo más de resina posible y densidad (esta cepa si comparada a las de Ripper Seeds de la temporada de otoño, es mucho menos densa) y en ello hay que poner foco, sea en el aporte de PK, sea mucho en base a aportes de silicio y eso por qué se confirma lo que creo de los nutrientes Top Crop. Seguro son equilibrados, ...seguro serán muy buenos para tirar de aromas y terpenos por lo que Big One y Top Candy hacen a lo largo del ciclo, pero en el aporte de PK no son los mejores en lo tocante a darle fuerza a lo que se esperan de cogollos de primerísima orden de calidad y con ello, he empezado a trabajar con finalizadores empezando con el Final Boom de la linea The Witcher's Potion de Cannaboom y aun esta semana sin quitarle el Top Bud, recurriré a la "bomba potásica" de Agrobeta, el EXPLOTA COGOLLOS sólido para que en menos de diez dias los cogollos se encuentren "pegando" y en diez días, será el limite para lo que los cogollos de nuestra Anaconda, sean lo que serán. Si algo es muy claro es que los cogollos van de tope a base de las ramas y habrá una producción muy significativa - y en eso hay que darles las gracias a la gente de Anaconda Seeds, pues no faltos bancos de semillas apuntan a cosechas grandes y después de corte y secado si sacas un tercio de lo esperado, ya es mucho - y que no te vengan con condiciones óptimas y con luces y nutrientes y que se yo...si todo esto tienes y te salen cantidades pifias es por qué lo que han trabajado en genética es flojo y sin capacidad a mayor y muchas veces les pregunto a hermanos growers "plantas para que tengas cogollos foto "fast food" o plantas para tener yeld de altísima calidad y lo más productivas posibles?" En resumen y sin duda quepa, que la Anaconda es una cepa muy interesante, en sus dimensiones organolépticas y su genética es de lo más estable y con eso están garantizadas las condiciones para que el resultado final sea una maravilla. Os dejo las fotos, donde ya es muy notorio el final de ciclo con los "amarillos" ya puntuando en el grow y los pistilos día trás dia están gradualmente amadurecidos y los cogollos ya expresan esos cambios en las notas de colores. 420 siempre y que el Dios Jah nos proteja con su sabiduría y buenos vibes.

Day 64 my baby is going really well by now, she s been running fast until now and I think that’s enough with fertiliser. From today o start my flush, I will give today my last dose of regulator and from next irrigation just on controlled water until the end of maturation, I want this baby to eat everything . day 65 started flushing. ph controlled water at 6.0 i think 20 more days at max before m Day 68 First check with micro today. The baby looks already milky and amber on the top buds but the rest of the plant is still transparent. I’ll wait at least until this weekend for a re check maybe I’ll cut her in two rounds. As I be been watching a lot with micro I noticed so many dust and other stuff on the buds so I think I’ll wash her in water. Today watered ph 6. Let’s see! 🌱🔥🌱🔥🌱🔥🔥

Jan 8th - plant(s) fed last nite @ 3.5/(3.0)L - both plants laying down patches of FROST, Congo is changing the Pistil colours to a rusty orange - w/ reduced nutes and Molasses Congo tds was 970ppm. Nat Mystic @ 1100 - solved an old desire to have a lower temperature in the tent, when the lights are off. Using a pin timer and restricting the operation of the Heater during the plants nite-cycle, has brought the average temp @ nite, down to where I’d like it; 18.5-19c Jan 9th - Natural Mystic got Flushed tonight. Aiding in the flush I am using FloraKleen to help @ 5ml/gal. 20 gal total used to get run-off below 100ppm Jan 10th - new meals posted above for the kids Jan 12th - with both plants flushed, I am building a nutritional snack for their next watering; tonight or tomorrow. I’m building an Aerated Compost Tea; 1 cup Worm Castings (compost component), 1 tbsp Kelp Meal, 3 tbsp Molasses, 1 Dead banana skin and a 1/3 tsp of Power Bloom granule - tea’s E.C. has gradually grown to 305ppm over last 18 hrs - last big feed for each plant maybe - both plants display some Amber but there is still a good showing of clear trichomes, as of the 10th. Jan 14th - last day of the week - natural mystic moved to the small tent for finishing - congo remains in big tent, made more accessible for photos / feedings - each plant fed 5L of aerated compost tea. Great timing, they were ready

Transplanted and separated into a 4x8 and 5x5 started to get deficiencies I think either cal or mag maybe even a little of both I flushed the soil in case ph was off in the soil then a couple had nitrogen deficiency so I gave them a tea last night will see how they look tonight when I’m off work once they are healthy I’ll flip to flower

5ª Settimana di Fioritura 💐💐💐💐💐 Siamo tutti entusiasti qui alla CampaCavallo mentre guardiamo la bella RUNTZ 💓🗿 gonfiare i suoi deliziosi fiori! 😍

Took some clones, Transplanted into 25 gallon pots, Flipping to flower

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell witch plants are more sensitive than others.

Week 9 / pictures at 63 days old. So everything has been pretty much the same as last week. No vertical growth but everything looking fatter and frostier! Still soaking up lots of water - 1.5litres every other day with 3ml of bloom nutrients in each. Removed a fair few leaves today - the unhealthy old ones from round the bottom and the ones getting in the way and touching the buds. Purple skunk buds still looking fatter than sticky orange. Sticky orange pistils started turning orange last week so I think she is going to be ready first but with a smaller yield. Purple skunk pistils have started turning orange today. Temperatures are higher this week and have reached 30 in the tent but spring is here so temps in general are higher outside. Was hoping it would stay lower as I really wanted the purple skunk buds to turn purple! They apparently prefer it cold before the purple comes out. But we’ll see what next week brings. I feel like we’re on the home stretch now. Each week gets more and more exciting and I just want them to get FAT! Again, pictures and videos just don’t do them justice - they look so much better in the flesh!

Greetings to any helpful advice

This plant has been full of surprises this week lol. First I found spider mites! Then I found a little powdery mildew 🤬🤬 Well.... now that the bad news is out of the way how about some good news. She is starting to really fatten up. The smell of this girl is fantastic😎 It really smells better by the day!! 🤪 She has been yellowing out a bit quickly as of late so I may need to add a bit more feather meal and kelp meal to her top dressing routine. I may also add some cal-mag to a watering here and there as needed. I have some predatory mites and ladybugs coming soon so the spider mites time is running out🤨. As for the powdery mildew, I will have to spray her every 3-4 days with greencure to keep it from invading my precious flowers. Greencure is an outdoor farmers best bud!! (Pun intended). I’ve been in this battle before. It comes with the territory when growing in a greenhouse outdoors. Sit back and enjoy y’all. I’ll get this lady to the finish line. 😎🍿

Top dressed with 1.5 Tbls of Terp Tea Bloom and Microraza. Watered in with rain water, blended aloe leaf, & Fish Sh!t. 1/2 gallon each, no runoff.

Well it took 2 seeds to get a sprout. 1st seed was a dud, or is really slow to germinate. She just sprouted, and seed husk was still hanging on. She is looking good so far. 🤞🏻everything stays on track.
