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.

Actually week 5. Looking great so far

I defoliated a lot of the under canopy today so I could move the scrog net upwards. These girls just had to stretch and stretch their legs. And, yes, the smell on my fingers after handling them was intensely citrus. I only gave them a little water this week as the air has been very moist and the soil has been damp enough.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la sexta semana de floracion de estas Rainbow Melon feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Tenían algo de shock por el trasplante pero ya fue solucionado. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores empiezas a formarse y progresan a buen ritmo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Harvested Critical Orange Punch 1 on day 69 she was rdy for me. Update coming the next days she's drying now for 5-7 days. Banana Blaze coming tonight in the darkroom for 48h. So far all good, just the critical 2 got some defiencys and it's too late to get it right cuz shes rdy in 3-5 days. I fuckd it up with the nutes didn't gave her enough bloom that's why she got some airy buds and turned a bit purple. But it's OK it's a good Traning and experience for my next grow. GSC recovered completely from the stress and doing very good. I think she gonna took 2-3 more weeks to finish. So that's all update coming the next days 😊👍 30.01.2021 Update : Harvested Banana Blaze and started drien Critical Orange Punch 2 get 48H dark period and then harvested 😃 01.02.2021 Harvested Critical Orange Punch 2 I gonna do the harvest reports this week I am waiting for the buds to dry and start to cure them after.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de vida de estas Orange Sherbet Fast Flowering, de FastBuds. Agradezco a Agrobeta todos los kits obtenidos de ellos 🙏. Vamos al lío, El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 22/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%, añadimos ya varios productos de la gama de Agrobeta. Las próximas semanas veremos cómo avanzan, trasplanté a maceta definitiva. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Wow, this thing is huge! Very impressed with the final week of growth for the Gorilla, she looked massive! Some of the branches had collapsed from the weight of the buds. I harvested, with 19 full branches of buds now hanging up to try, this should be a great harvest! I'll update values once I have an idea of dry weight 😀

25.7. Defoliation done! Plants rotation done! Im happy with process :) they have lot of smell at this stage. Watering at ph 6.4 with no fertilizer. 29.7. Everything is perfect 🙏 31.7. Plants are healthy, buds even so fast looks hard 😍

I got a smart plug for my humidifier and modded the button with an Arduino so that it turns on automatically when powered. Now I have events in my home Assistant on raspberry pi which will keep the VPD within a specified range. Every since then, the plants have been SO much happier and I have piece of mind now. I'm hoping these plants can pull through the stress, but I planted 4 more bag seeds just in case, they will sprout soon. I did some LST because why not. Accidentally broke a stem but I squeezed it together so now I have to pray.

I have nothing to complain about I'm more than satisfied with the results this far l. Roots organic is my new bestfriend

Comienza la floración de estas pequeñas!! Cambiamos línea de fertilizantes gracias a b.a.c 👍👨‍🌾🏻🍀

Decided to turn on my bloom lights on my Optic 2 Gen 3 LED which incrediblely increased the temp so lucky 🍀 I have a carbon filter from ac infinity “4 and a inline fan from Vivosun which really work great to suck the stagnant hot air out of my 32”x32”x72” tent. Other then that have been feeding these girl Urb& liquid seaweed and they seem to be loving it. Would love to make a compost tea soon.

2/12: I moved the Platonium, both Sucrose Overdose, and the last Muscadine Wine into the dark. The Velvet Sugah Bref, GG4, and Berry Bomb are the last plants from this diary, and they are just getting water and Liquidsoil. They are all in the closet now and getting blasted with extremely cold winter air and intense UVB for their last week. 2/13: I harvested the Platonium, both Sucrose Overdose, and the last Muscadine Wine tonight. Sexy sexy bitches...ooh la la! Not embarrassed to say that I got major wood while giving them a bath...😜

This week has been great! Germination on all 4 Pre 98 Bubbas and 2 Dirty Blondes was a success!! We planted them in there pots an through out the week we gave em each a very light spray down of pure water phd at 6.5 and by Friday they all popped out the soil Let’s go!!!!! Next week we will start light feed on nutrients , so y’all keep them eyes peeled for next updates an I appreciate y’all for following my grow !!😶‍🌫️💨💨💨🙏🏻💚💯🤙🏻

Everything is going well. I slightly overfilled the fertilizers, I'm already correcting this point. The smell is very strong.🌱🍀🍀🍀🌱🌱🌱

Damn 1 of my Grand daddy Purp plants is growing like its life is depending on it lol. As you can see I swapped out that cob light and added my SE-3000 to the room so that I'm running all Spider-Farmer lights during flower. I put it over that tall GDP because I can let the plant get a lot closer to ot then one of my SF lights. I have to say when it comes to what I consider Amazon Special grow lights (Mars Hydro, Phlizon, Spider-Farmer, Viparspectrum, Etc) Spider-Farmer is by far the best. The SF-4000 light I have is still running at 100% after using it for roughly 10 grows now. Other LED brands I've ran only lasted 2-3 grows before they needed to be replaced. I've had the SF-2000 for just over a year now and it's got about 4 grows on it and again still working 100%. Now I just finished my first run in my 3x3 with the SE-3000 (last 2 weeks I'm running a blurpe LED light to see how it effects the potency) and I was extremely happy with thw outcome of the light. For only 300w I feel like it did a better job then my 450w SF-4000 light in my 4x4 tents. The humidity levels and temperature have been doing great all week during day/night even with temperatures outside dropping to 3c. I'm expecting November/December/January to be very difficult out here to try and keep the temp up. So what I might do is run a 400W HPS light in my 3x3 next go around during the day to keep it warm and then run the main room at night with the LEDs. We'll see what it's like when I get there tho. Also thinking of moving the 2x2x4 to the main room and putting my 2x3x5 tent were it is. Again tho we well see. Well that's all for now. So happy growing everyone!!!

One week of 12/12 and there stretching out nice I've defoliated the central cola to allow the side branches to catch up. Will start to feed soon

First day with big big sun and hot weather, I use biobizz light mix so I will start to feed the ladies at day 14, we will see the development 😊

Overall a great strain too grow as grows with ease and seemingly without issues even with minimal care. With care she can produce hefty buds, as kept mine small my flowers reflect but still produced great smelling powerfully buds 🌱 Cycle finished in time essentially with ease and I'd be happy too recomend this strain from fastbuds. I will update with more images and videos upon timing complete and give dry weight ect, these girls wont bring much but smell absolute treat. Atm I have tried 1 small nug but still not ready not long untill can trim up, great oils and taste just need a little cure up once finished. Tried uploading longer videos but again says error 👎 have now added few extra videos
