Came in on Monday this week after first round of feeding the Friday before and the plants had all gone into full flower mode. They seem to be doing pretty good! It's been pretty hot this week but I feed just water every other day or when the soil is dry and feed them fertilizer every other watering with 1/4-1/2 strength

I busted myself up so havent been able to get into the grow much for a couple weeks. They are definitely thirsty and not getting enough water so will water more deeply next time around a gallon per tote a day.

Gave her some preflower food and more mycorrhizae. She's stretching like crazy 🤣 I'm loving the smell all ready. Smelling lemon and fruits. Gave her some low stress training and at the end of the week.

Heute wird die blüte eingeleitet und ein paar Fotos folgen noch. Zu sagen gibt's nicht viel nur das sie sehr gut aussehen, alle Tops auf einer Höhe sind und die seitentriebe auch bereits neue seitentriebe bilden. An 2 Stelle ist mir vor n paar Tagen ein trieb abgebrochen aber innerhalb der paar Tage sind schon 2 dafür nachgewachsen aus dem Stück was noch hing. Wie immer würde ich mich über Tipps freuen ✌️🍀

She is already starting to flower, i observed some pistils starting to grow, good news, lets see if the weather stays nice the next couple of weeks. Good luck in the outdoor competition people, hopefully this Runtz gives some nice results just like the strawberry banana did some weeks ago

OK, we’re getting pretty damn close. I definitely toasted a couple of the taller spears with a new lightbulb. The damage seems to be to the fan leaves and some of the sugar leaves, the buds seem to be spared of any damage. I reduce the nutrients to zero to flush yesterday. I’m hoping they’ll be ready to harvest in a couple three days. The tricombs are still Mostly white and clear, very little if any brown yet. I figure I’ll wack them at 50-50 brown Here is a question for some more experienced growers that might read this. I have read that when buds are light stressed they will make a bud on a bud. I’ll put a couple pictures of this here. Is this what they are talking about? Peace,Take care of each other, and give me the patience to last another week.

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. Shoutouts & Gratitude: A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey: Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these one-of-a-kind seeds. Aptus Holland for their amazing nutrient solutions. Pro-Mix for the reliable soil mix. Future of Grow for the incredible LED lighting that keeps these mutants thriving. TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment. Grow Diaries for giving growers like us a platform to share and learn. The Community (haters, lovers, and everyone in between) for your support and interaction—it’s what makes this so rewarding. Finally, a shoutout to my Instagram and YouTube family! Be sure to follow along for more updates, behind-the-scenes content, and educational tidbits. Let’s keep growing and learning together. Final Note: These girls may be taking their time, but their beauty, uniqueness, and resilience make every moment worthwhile. Here’s to another week of growth, learning, and connection. Until next time, let’s grow, let’s learn, and let’s thrive!

As always it's just a pleasure to grow this sativa dominant strain which definitely reminds me of a great indica with her extremely fruity and tropical sweet terpenes, very happy to have her in my garden and to be able to smoke such a high quality strain once again, hope you guys have enjoyed as much as me!

This week has been awesome with these ladies! Have moved them to the flowering tent and letting them get acclimated in here. Will prolly do 1 more week then switch to flower for this tent! Have got all 6 ladies all stacked in here all tight together. They are already demanding alot of water so I can see how a drip system might be nice but idk if would work for coco Still doing same 5.6- 5.7 ph declorinated water with a heavy feed. Still doing some training as these girls grow so have more tops as they streach. I maintain about a 60%RH for this room for now and give them ladies about 1400ml every 2 or 3 days. Will do a pre-flower check again in the next couple days should be showing havnt looked much! Fingers crossed!! Much

ITA: topping a tutte le piante compresa la strawberry lemonade. Piccolo deficit della LSD probabilmente dovuto a una carenza di calcio/magnesio, ho quindi tamponato la soluzione con 0.5ml/l di cal-mag della biobizz. In seguito ho piegato i rami più grossi verso il basso i modo da far passare più luce, anche negli intenodi più bassi. La prossima settimana conto di toppare nuovamente gli apicali e fare una nuova LST ENG: topping to all plants including strawberry lemonade. Small LSD deficiency probably due to a calcium / magnesium deficiency, so I dabbed the solution with 0.5ml / l of biobizz cal-mag. Then I folded the thicker branches downwards to let more light through, even in the lower areas. Next week I plan to patch the top management again and do a new LST

Hello Diary. We’ve come to the last week. After a total of 64 days since both plants sprouted, we came to a harvest. 😎 I watched the trichomes develop every day, and when I noticed that they were all milky and occasionally brown, I decided to harvest. Since the harvest was after three days of the current week, I put week 9. as the last week of the cycle. The last time I watered it four days earlier, I wanted it not to be freshly watered before drying. I would also say that it is clear from the pictures that they look ready for the harvest. 😉 Since their roommate Green Gelato was still in the Box, I had to come up with a different way of drying. Otherwise I prefer to dry the whole plant hung upside down in a box. So I made a cardboard box in which I placed small hangers for which I would hang branches. I also drilled holes in the box on all sides to have air flow through the box. Since the box is too small for both plants, I cut off the 4 main branches of Hulkberry Auto # 2 that I put in the box while drying the rest in one piece on the balcony in the fresh air. I cut the branches and made a wet trimming, after which I hung the branches in the “dryer”. I placed the cardboard box in a Box where I plan to dry it for a minimum of 10 days. I am happy with the outcome although we will see the real situation after drying. 16/08/2020 - Harvest day - day 59. See you after drying with the final report.

I have a huge smile on my face because I’m getting closer and closer each day to smoking my own cannabis. Never buying weed again. Still on one tent but by this time next year the plan is to have a veg room and a flower room. Anyways. This past week has been great for the plants. Taking water nicely. All plants flowering nicely from what I can tell. Nothing looks odd. No insect or bacteria issues. Knock on weed... hope I didn’t jinx myself. I’m adding a dehumidifier and should be in by next weeks post. From what I read is if they get too wet and moist the plants can develop mildew or mold and fungus and also it says that after a rain or watering you want the pores of the leaves to open back up and if it’s too wet they never open and stop producing. Sounds good to me. Also. Got a new phone. First one in a long while and I made a short vid.
