Mentha de Croco – Week 18 from Seed | Week 7 Flower By Terpyz Mutant Genetics We’ve entered the final chapters of this mutant tale, and what a phenomenal story it has become. These girls are now drinking only water as they near the end of their flowering cycle, and they are doing so with elegance, uniqueness, and a presence that’s hard to put into words. Their structure is wild and bold, true to the mutant spirit, and this week we’ve witnessed them begin to cannibalize themselves, pulling in all internal resources as they approach harvest readiness. Their colors are shifting, their leaves are curling with purpose, and their energy is focused deep within the buds. Each phenotype continues to express in its own voice — no two look alike, and yet they sing together in perfect harmony. 🌿 And then there’s the terpene profile, absolutely outrageous! A heavy chemical note that feels like fresh nail polish, with a twist of gassy sharpness that fills the tent with that unforgettable “mutant funk.” It’s strange, beautiful, pungent, and… perfect. We’re not harvesting just yet, maybe next week, but the excitement is undeniable. This is the moment where patience and vision meet, and where every subtle change is a whisper from the plant saying: “It’s almost time.” 📣 Shout outs & gratitude: Infinite thanks to: 🌱 @terpyz_mutant_genetics for the freaks and the fun 💧 @aptus_holland for the precision and clean nutrition 💡 @futureofgrow for lighting up our garden 📊 @trolmaster.agro for full control and peace of mind 💚 And of course, all of YOU — the GrowDiaries fam, the supporters, the curious minds, the haters, the lovers.

Shes been topped and transplanted now to final pot ,no growth in the las week but i think shes comming back to life now

So far so good !! Started feeding some ocean magic and rezin ! I’m going to do some light defoliation and keep some clones ! Light and easy on the feed just hanging out letting them do there thing ! 👍🤠 Most of the time I’m feeding /water / feeding !

Day 63 of the orange buds one was harvested early due to going hermie.. Possibly due to the fact they wer seriously underwatered a few weeks ago or that my 600w hps was flicking on and off for a few days or a combo of both... But anyways 2 oranges buds still going strong.. Until next week ✌️

Transplanted and doing great! My youngest that I planted a week late has caught the older ones and I'm happy. Looking good

The plants were so crowded I decided to put them into a Larger tent to allow some light to the lower bud sites and to help lower the humidity amongst the plants. I'm sure they will love the extra space. The light has now been raised 20cm (20cm taller tent) Allowing me to turn out right up which is 45000 lux in the centre right below it. I will up the bloom to 2ml/l this coming week.

01/25/2022 Reppoted one but need bigger pots, developing nice side shoots for plenty of clones. One more week in small pots need to buy new ones

Filling out beautifully. That stack is amazing. Getting so frosty. Sweet smelling. The buds are so solid

Day 49 of flower. Lovely! The Buds begin to bring flesh to them self. They grow up. The smell is a little bit diskret till now. I mean the strength of it. Sweet! SWEET! Glorious. I know for the most of north and south (maybe) it's an old wallpaper from Yesterday. But for me, its the first time I smell sticky Watermelon Zkittlez on my Fingers. AMAZING. (If in normal zkittlez is no watermelon smell) than:Like a voice of an God. "BONUS! DOUBLR XP FOR THE REST TIME OF THE GROW! YOU CHOOSE! MORE YIELD? UNIQUE COLORS?" "God(of Ganja maybe)…?" "YES? MY GROWMI?" "can i have both bonus?" WHAT THE FUCK! TRY TO DEAL WITH A GOD? What followed know is unknown. Just you heared some screams in the night. Not the funny ones. except you re an sadomasochist. Than you had really fun. I got still some aphids. But less than ever before. Still 3 weeks of flowering.. I can wait. The yield will not be big. I don't care about. I care about mouthwatering strong healthy weed. Thats why i grow. (and, i love to see them grow. But that was unexpected). WATERMELON ZKITTLEZ. I Love this plant. The colours. The height, the smell, and the sticky buds. Day 52 of flower. TRICHOMES RE MILKY the most 75% ca. The Buds re hard. The smell has changed to Haschisch. The fruity smell is still there, but getting less. Lets see. Phylaxien re 50% brown. Down under(Australia?). 20% and the lowest 5% brown. 18 days still to go. BARNEYS FARM, once again you satisfie me.. Hello @ day 54 of flower. The buds re becoming harder , and now they begin to grow up. In height. The colors of buds. Brown phylaxien, till bottom. She got 16 days to go now. Lets see if we take some amber trichoms till the harvest. The chop will be in stages, because Iwant the maturity ( is this right?) In every bud, and light helps. Day 55 of flower. The Light Spektrum has been Modified. I kill switched the blue Spektrum. In previous Grows it helps to increase the trichom productivity and faster maturity. But warning! If you kill the blue light to early, she stretches a lot.. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Day 55again. Aphids found! Damn! Should i defoliate the infested leaves? Day 57 of flower. I will not defoliate. I will wash the buds. Stay strong baby, youre my first photo period plant. And this is my first plant without any influences from a ruderalis.. And she is a beauty. By the way still some glass trichrome DAY 58 OF FLOWER. nothing happend Phylaxien went brown. Some new came... The buds re still hard. But they grow up.. 😛 24.09. 59 days of flower. Everything pretty. 25.09 AMBER trichomes starting on top buds. 60 days of Flowering. 27.09.... The Buds. Not soo big. But soo solid! I ve the pheno with the hard buds and slow growing but heavy earthy and INDICA lasting one! WITH THE HARD STEELBUDS YES, HAPPY!! Fruity smell is like zkittlez, but with an heavy earthy tone. Still not many Amber trichoms. But Hey we are in FLOWERWEEK 9!!! And 8-10 weeks the Breeder said. Did a defoliation cause prepare to harvest soon. And to get to the lowest benches some light, so they get harder. Trichome check says. WAIT! Gave water ph 6,5. Trichomes re mostly foggy. Still some clear Trichomes. AMBER ist not so much. Maybe on every bud 1%. Harvest, were coming closer... Boah SMOKE REPORT: First bong hit. Häh? Something happend. 30 sec later... Ok here we go, should i take another one? Its so smooth... Three minutes later... Damn my eyes, im so fxxxxxx relaxed, i liked to take a nap. Smooth A Smooth Criminal (AYE) The Buds re heavy. And the hardest i ever had. 30.09. 65 day of flower. Did a little prechop. The Rest still can ripen.

Finished the last week of flushing WOO! and its harvest time! I put them in 48 hours of darkness on Wednesday ready to crop for saturday, I will do a proper harvest report next week when I have them ready to go into curing jars along with some pictures and a full report, but I will add this some of the smells I was getting whilst trimming where unreal smells like pine, citrus, beef and a really faint sweet smell I cant put my finger on... I'm not saying that's 100% what it smells like but it smells similar to wild garlic. Well these b*tches took 14 long hours( could of done it quicker but we made a day of it ) all bud is trimmed and primed for drying then curing. Happy Growing 👊👍

Start 34

Last week of flowering (72days from the light switch) Gonna cut soon when the dirt is dry. A quite late harvest. Many buds denser more, and stem can’t longer resist. This season so satisfy. Thank for all mentor and comment. You all are my inspiration for grows.

It's week three of Vegi, and all three Lemon Ladies are developing very nicely. They should be ready to flower in about 14 days. ☀️☀️☀️💚💚💚

Day 50, 29.05.2024 - Starting the week at 43cm height - No action today but to render timelapse for last week & watch them bloom. Day 51, 30.05.2024 - 600ml with nutrition (1ml grow, 3ml bloom, 4ml TopMax) for each as breakfast shortly after the lights turned on - removed 4 more leaves there were yellow. I think it has to do with the recent cut down on nutritions. This is why I will get back to the recommended fertilizer schedule in 48h with the next feeding. Day 52, 31.05.2024 No action today. Day 53, 01.06.2024 A round of drinks (600ml each) and food (4/4/4ml of grow, bloom & TopMax). Day 54, 01.06.2024 No action today. Day 55, 03.06.2024 - I am observing some more leafs getting yellow. I guess the plant is recovering N from the lower leaves to feed the buds. - Later today they will get their next feeding (600ml each, - again with 4/4/4ml of Grow, Bloom & TopMax) Day 56, 04.06.2024 "No action today" concludes week 8. All in all until today the grow is quite easy. No big issues. I just hope the yellowing of leafs will stop / revert after resuming to the standard nutrition schedule. So, I guess there are 3 weeks to go before harvest - let's keep em dry!

Going strong. End of week 3 , gave her a decent tidy up for more light penetration and air flow.

A week further and have started the flowering. I write this a couple of days later, with now more knowlegde about revegging and can conclude I started too flower too early. Especially the big plant, which was still not completely revegged. On the upside, I got to learn lots about revegging, also to know that it might take weeks for the plants to make the switch again and produce buds :(, should have waited few more weeks for revegging done. So wet on with defoliating, the left plant on the pictures I still have to do and trained budsites more sideways and some leaftucking, strategic defoliage on top. We shall see. The plants are not happy and im going to feed them some Biobizz Alg-A-Mic to help them destress and ease the suffering, thankfully @styliaga gave me some. I will do another update after coming feed and recovery. As a tip if you ever go re-veg a plant: let them finish the process. I can see the monster growth of lots of micro budsites developping in the canopy. Hopefully with enough time they will develop into a sea of chunky danky goodness. The lights I put a little higher, for saey, while Im adjusting the dimmer to full, to let them acclimatise to the full light. No light points yet after two days, not even the leafs curling up like in the beginning. Some things go well...

I start immediately apologizing for not respecting the week in updating the diary, but with work and looking after the plants I had no time. Now it is the end and I have collected everything. The experiments with ice water went really well and the pollen yield has increased again. The plant is spectacular and I am very proud of my work and what I have achieved. The buds are very compact and smell really exaggerated. This Cali I cleaned it all out of the excess leaves apart from the sugary little ones and left it in whole branches and hung it on a clothesline that I am leaving in a dark room with the values checked at least for the next week so that I can start a new cycle. But the smell is just too much!!!! Great FastBud and sure I'll be making more varieties soon. The monkey has now burrowed on my shoulder and the desire to try this delight is more and more.
