I wish I could say this week went well..definitely wasn't the case..starting on Valentines day we experienced a severe snow storm in Texas, which is quite the unusual..for several days we experienced a power outage..luckily it starting while the girls was sleeping with lights out..so they had some extra darkness..if anything it does seems like they benefited more than it did them harm..they seemed to swell up a lil more..the power did finally come back on today, so ill be keeping a close eye on them the next few days hoping that they don't stress to hermies. I don't believe they will, but ill keep a close eye on them. I didn't manage to get a cheap battery operated LED light from Walmart to put inside the tent during the outage..hoping that it somewhat helps from stress. Other than that..I really don't know what else to tell you. Definitely was a crazy past few days..ill keep yall updated in my next upload..added a few pics I took during the outage..

āš”ļøāš”ļø Instant Organic Feeding starts here!āš”ļøāš”ļø Hey Growmies~! Everything’s looking good! This plant has a naturally brown stem, but her strain sometimes shows purple or brown stems that break through the outer layer. I’ll share a picture of one of her sisters I grew before! This instant organic feeding method really helps plants reach their full potential. It reduces the chance of mistakes and lets the plants absorb nutrients right away and as needed. I’m working on an easy guide to making these nutrients and cultivating microbes at home. I’ll share it soon, and I hope you’re as excited as I am! Stay safe, take care of each other, and feed your plants organically and instantly! [3rd Week Feeding for a 9-10 Week Strain] - 20-30ml of homemade liquified veg nutrients per liter of water - One feeding with a pinch of sea salt per gallon, mixed with the veg nutrients 1 Corinthians 10:26 --------------------------------------------------------- [WEEKLY NOTES] 9/18 I’m noticing that this plant is also showing signs of stress. I’ll be addressing it soon, similar to how I’m handling the issues with SSKNS Grow #2. Once I feed her with the home-cultivated live microbes, she should start to recover and reach her full potential. I’m hoping to see improvements within 6 to 72 hours. I’ve just prepared the microbial cultivation and took some photos. I’ll be recording the process separately Thanks for sticking with me through this! 9/19 She was fed with SSKNF Grow #2 @ 9/19 - 12:23PM Hoping to see releaf tomorrow morning for update~! 9/20 This plant has moved past the 3rd node where the leaves were touching. I believe I caught the deficiency just in time before it caused more stress. The leaves haven't returned to their normal color yet, but new growth has started again. It might take a day or two for the lower shoots to fully recover and begin stretching. 9/21 Next morning, the plant seems to be recovering and growing again. The fourth set of leaves has clearly separated from the third, which were previously touching. It will be a full 48 hours today at 12:23 PM since I fed the Home Cultivated Microbes. I'm eager to see the side shoots catch up and grow faster now. Fed on 9/19 at 12:23 PM — first signs of recovery showed about 6 hours later.

Sep 6: the top buds are mostly ready. Final Flush was applied two days ago and are supposed to wait 7-10 days. Will wait a bit longer but harvest will be starting soon. Sep 7: harvested 740 g wet buds into freezer. When dried this will be about 180 g. Lower buds will be another week or two. Sep 12: most likely will be harvested tomorrow. These are really nice hard buds. Don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you follow up with a far red light. Otherwise…hermies are more likely.

This week has been wonderful, she's really coming into form and I'm loving the structure of this tester! She responded very well to the simpro bloom formula and I'm really excited to see this grow through! Hoping for something similar to the cream cookies from last grow! Below are days of activity for this week: Day 38 Adjusted LST Day 40 1 gal distilled water 5g bloom ppm 517 Pulled 7 leaves Day 43 1 gal distilled water 6g bloom ppm 582 Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Happy growing

Overall, this plant was a producer! Easy to grow, no surprises and stayed healthy throughout. 11 weeks from seed to harvest. It was squat, but stacked, so airflow and humidity control were key to preventing powdery mildew or bud rot. Took the nutrients like a champ, didn’t show too many demands. I’d like to run this again to see if I can get them taller, to potentially produce more. Otherwise, a very good, potent strain choice for someone who is short on space, and would do well with a sea of green style…Happy Gardening šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦šŸ‘Šā¤ļø

End of Week 15 (8th week of flower) I have stopped the CO2 supplementation for this week and onwards as the plants naturally slow down photosynthesis and it is not needed during the last 2 weeks of flower. Also raised the lights by 5cm to make sure the trichomes don't get damaged and also dropped the RH and temperatures even more than last week, and surely the colours are becoming more and more vibrant as the ladies are fading into their autumn shades. Feeding just water since middle last week, all I'm doing is giving the ladies PH correct water until harvest to naturally deplete the soil from nutrients and flush out the soil slowly this will help bring out even more colours as the ladies use up the remaining nutrients stored in their leaves as they reach the end of their life cycle. Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

February 23, 2021 (Week 7, Day 50, Flower 1): It's the first day of flower! The plants slept for 12 hours last night and will keep that up until harvest. Still seeing pretty crazy growth even for the 12 hours of darkness they went through. Grew about another .5". Excited to see how much these things stretch. Soil was very dry this morning so I watered with 4l of water per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus + 1/4 tsp/gal Humboldt Nutrients Big Up Flower Powder with a pH of 5.8. Runoff pH of 6.3. I will start watering with a 6.0 solution going forward. I also top dressed with about an inch of fresh Roots Organics Lush soil. Plants are looking great. Not seeing any problems currently. I'll keep a close eye on them as they transition. Turned down humidity another 5% today. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉. February 24, 2021 (Week 7, Day 51, Flower 2): Plants look great. Soil still moist from watering. Tilled half inch of topsoil. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉. Nothing else for today. February 25, 2021 (Week 7, Day 52, Flower 3): No complaints at all. These plants are as healthy as they can be from what I can tell. The growth sites are starting to do some funky stuff and everything is kind of starting to "clump" together. Really interesting to watch this process happen, as I've always wondered exactly how the buds begin to form. I was greeted with a very sweet smell when I opened my tent this morning, nothing strong yet. To encourage further vertical growth I've removed all LST ties except for two from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I adjusted the ties on Unknown 1 because it's already starting to stretch and I need it to slow down just a bit while the others catch up. Soil is semi-moist this morning but the pots are still pretty heavy, so I'll water in a day or two. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. February 26, 2021 (Week 7, Day 53, Flower 4): Pots were light today so watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.4 pH. Defoliated one more node on each growth stem - the lollipop look is coming around. It will probably be my last defoliation like this. From now on I'll only pluck fan leaves that get in the way of bud sites. Unknown 1 grew over 2" in the last 24 hours. The stretch is getting real. I removed all remaining LST ties from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I redid the LST ties on Unknown 1 in an attempt to control its growth, but at this point I feel like it's just going to be a lanky plant and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll do my best to keep them as level as I can. Also, I took off Unknown 2's stem cast today and it healed really, really well. I have never seen a plant do this, but it filled itself in with tissue that is soft to the touch, and there's only a slight split at the top. It's looking really great. My wife noticed the smell of the plants this morning for the first time - so that's a good sign! Plants are starting to put off a lot of their own humidity, so I haven't refilled my humidifier in days. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Happy Friday everyone! šŸ‘» February 27, 2021 (Week 7, Day 54, Flower 5): Soil is still moist - tilled half inch of topsoil. Overnight it appears Gelato 1 and Unknown 2 are doing their damnedest to catch up with Unknown 1 - they both grew about 2". Plants are looking great and are definitely starting to stretch! Averaging 50% rH and 70℉. February 28, 2021 (Week 7, Day 55, Flower 6): Top soil is pretty dry, but the pots are still heavy. I'll hold off watering for a day or two. The last 24-hour period I think I saw the biggest difference in the plants so far. Each growth stem stretched a ton on each plant, but at varying degrees. The canopy is suddenly uneven, but I think trying to keep everything even at this point will be futile. I will let them go and install the SCROG net soon if the colas start growing too differently from one another. The stipules on every plant tripled in length overnight so I think the plants are definitely getting with the new 12-hour schedule. All the plants are starting to shoot off tons of pre-flowers and pistils now. They're in the swing of things now. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉. March 1, 2021 (Week 7, Day 56, Flower 7): Soil is dry but pots still have some weight. Will probably water tomorrow. Plants are looking fantastic. Canopy is stretching all over the place. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉. Looking forward to next week! Hopefully we'll start to see some flowers poking through soon!

Grow Diaries: Week 9 Veg - Mentha de Croco Mutants Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌱✨ Week 9 is here, and while our mutants are small, they’re undoubtedly mighty in beauty and character! Each plant continues to showcase its uniqueness, with details in the leaves that are nothing short of art. As always, patience is the key, and these beauties are teaching me that every step of this journey is worth it. The Flip is Coming! After much thought, I’ve decided to flip the entire room to a 11/13 light cycle. This means it’s time to identify males and let the females show their true potential. Here’s the plan: • Why Flip Now? Despite their smaller size, flipping now allows the plants to reveal their sex while keeping the room’s progress synchronized. This way, I can focus on the keepers and remove the males efficiently. • Revegging the Favorites: By flipping and selecting now, I’ll be able to reveg any standout females later. For those unfamiliar, revegging is a technique where, after flowering, you revert the plant back to a vegetative state. This method preserves genetics you love and allows you to grow clones or expand the line further. šŸ‘‰ Benefits of Flipping and Revegging: • Speeds up the identification process without needing clones first. • Lets you preserve special traits in the plants. • Adds flexibility in managing space and time. Environment & Nutrition This week, I’ve maintained a steady environment: • Temps: 22°C with about 66% RH. • Nutrients: Continuing with the Aptus Holland lineup—Regulator, Start Booster, and CalMag Boost. The All-in-One Pellets are still providing slow-release nutrition, and the plants seem to love it! Watering from the bottom remains my go-to, helping keep gnats at bay while ensuring even root hydration. The Photographer’s Eye Once again, my Sony A6000 has been in action, capturing the stunning intricacies of these mutants. There’s something magical about zooming in on their delicate details, seeing the interplay of light, and appreciating every curve and serration. Pro tip: The right lens can make all the difference, giving you sharp, breathtaking shots. Shout Outs & Gratitude Big love and thanks to: • Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these incredible seeds! • Aptus Holland for keeping the nutrients dialed in. • Pro Mix Soil for giving the roots a cozy home. • TrolMaster for perfect environmental control. • Future of Grow for the endless inspiration. • Grow Diaries for hosting this amazing community. And, of course, to all the growers, followers, and curious onlookers who make this journey even more special. Your support means the world! šŸ’š Join the Journey Let’s connect beyond Grow Diaries!

the girl started to lighten, although I kept giving her 1100 ppm 2 times a row. ph 6.3 I think it's the pot's fault, it's too small! the roots want to run to collect the waste water. but basically the flowers look very nice:) and the smell after opening the tent is just wow, I already feel that it will be really good:) good luck to everyone:).

9/28/22 Feedings have tuned to full strength, and amazing uptake! These babies will be vegged 8-10 weeks for cloning, as well as the stud being grown out and collecting the pollen to carry on this tester to an F2 genetic. NPK Industries has done amazing things with these plants, and they will be repotted into 7 gallons later this week. Depending on structure, these plants will recieve a late topping to avoid pushing too close to lights in the flowering period. Water/Nutrients: pH- 6.4-6.8 TDS- 650-750ppm 3/8-1/2 G per plant Excess pH- ~6.5 9/30/22 Hello all! We decided to repot the Purpetual Punch F1's from 3 gal. fabrics to 7 gal. fabrics. All went without a hitch, and #6 out of the tested phenos has had the largest root mass, overall structure, and best production. I'll have updated pictures soon! All soils were amended with Roots Organic Uprising Grow + Bloom (1 tbs each), and inoculated with Roots Organic Bioforce, OregonismXL, and NPK Industries Grow Microbe (1/2 tsp each). After transplant they were watered with NPK Industries B-Vitamins (1/8 tsp), FishSh!t (5 mL), and Fulvic Acid (5 mL).

Happy with the over all bud development again this week the smell has really picked up now going into the final weeks. Checking the trichomes regularly planning to possibly start flushing next week all 3 plants are showing signs of colour fading of the larger leafs. Still defoliating and using some sticks to help expose more of the lower bud sites have also added an additional fan to help airflow. Increased the light output from 90% to 100% ā˜€ļø šŸ¤žšŸ»
