🌱 Week 2: Mutant Magic in Full Swing! 🌱
Hey Grow Fam! Another week, another step forward in the adventure with these Mentha de Croco beauties. Week 2 has been nothing short of fascinating—the variety in leaf shapes is absolutely mesmerizing. These tiny mutants are already showing their unique personality, and I’m loving every second of watching them grow! 🌿✨
Tent Conditions: Consistency is Key
The setup remains the same as last week, keeping these little ones in the perfect environment to thrive:
• Temperature: Stable, warm conditions for steady growth.
• Humidity: Maintaining high RH ensures they’re still enjoying tropical vibes as their root systems develop.
• Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to deliver just the right amount of light to keep the plants growing compact and strong.
Nutrition: Introducing the Organic-Mineral Boost 🌿
This week, I started feeding the plants with the incredible Aptus Holland organic-mineral line. It’s been a game-changer, and here’s why I love it:
What’s Organic-Mineral Nutrition?
• Combines the benefits of organic matter (microbial health and soil vitality) with the efficiency of mineral nutrients (direct uptake by plants).
• Supports balanced, steady growth while boosting plant resilience.
This Week’s Feeding Schedule:
• Regulator (0.15 ml/L): A silica-based product that strengthens plant structure and helps regulate stress, ensuring the plants stay strong and sturdy.
• CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Calcium and magnesium are essential for cell wall development and chlorophyll production, supporting lush, vibrant growth.
• All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): A comprehensive blend that delivers all the essential nutrients in one easy feed, perfect for these little mutants finding their stride.
• Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Packed with root-stimulating microbes and nutrients, this product ensures strong root development and prepares the plants for explosive growth in the coming weeks.
Why Aptus?
I’ve been a huge fan of Aptus Holland because their line truly focuses on building strong, healthy plants from the ground up. The results speak for themselves—happy plants, explosive growth, and vibrant health at every stage. true believer here and way before being sponsored by them .
Mutant Leaf Love: Celebrating the Unique 🌿
The highlight of this week has to be the unique leaf patterns these plants are developing. Each one seems to have its own story to tell—serrated edges, funky symmetry, and a whole spectrum of textures. They’re tiny but mighty, and it’s so exciting to see the potential of these genetics from Terpyz Mutant Genetics come to life.
Mutants always bring surprises, and it’s a beautiful reminder that diversity is what makes this journey so rewarding.
Reflections & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡
💚 Feed Lightly, Grow Strong: For young plants, keep your feed gentle to avoid overloading them. Start slow and adjust as they grow.
🌱 Celebrate Differences: Each plant will grow at its own pace, and unique traits are part of the magic. Patience is key!
💧 Stay Consistent: The foundation you build in these early weeks sets the tone for the entire grow. Stable conditions = happy plants.
Shoutouts & Grower’s Love 💚

This was a beautiful strain to grow. With her flowers getting big towards the end of harvest as well as the purple colours! I would definitely recommend that you try grow this strain. The buds are super dense and very well formed. An absolute treat to smoke and look at.

È stata una settimana difficile perché il meteo al centro Italia è impazzito totalmente questo periodo, pioggia abbondante e sbalzi di temperatura hanno dominato per tutta la settimana e la prossima settimana sono previsti altri temporali fastidiosi. Nonostante queste anomalie del meteo le bellissime dutchfemseeds autofiorenti direttamente nel terreno non temono la pioggia, non hanno paura del fresco notturno, non hanno paura del terreno totalmente bagnato ed infangato ma bensì continuano a crescere rapidamente e di tipo compatto, le prime diramazioni ai 3 internodi sono già evidenti e le piante iniziano di già a mostrare i primi peletti bianchi, tra circa dieci giorni si vedranno le prime infiorescenze e come ogni anno le autofiorenti della dutchfem seeds ogni varietà crescerà in maniera epocale e piene di infiorescenze gustose e resinose! Adorano il clima italiano ed io adoro sempre di più queste varietà così complete!

Something is annoying with this app. I cant take pics with it. Hopefully it just the app permissions. Nothing too exciting yet this week. #2 has been struggling getting adjusted to the new pot. Where #1 took off. Idk what the difference is apart from the training methods. Having said that I have topped number 2 and fimmed her lower branches hoping that a little encourage root growth.. I've also had to do a bit of re arranging. So these are now elevated the highest and under mostly 2x 50w auto cobs. They both have supplemental lighting coming from the 2 viparspectra LEDs I have near them.
Day 52:
Watered both the girls today. They're drinking fast! I water till slight runoff and they get about 2.5 gallons every 36hrs or so. Also we raised the cobs a bit up to 24" from them.
Day 53 & 54
Nothing to say for day 53. Maybe I think #1 is getting a bit rootbound. I say this only because her leaves are curled like they are over watered yet the plant is dry. And she went in a growth spurt last week.
Day 54
I picked up some soil for transplant tomorrow. I am putting #1 into a 10gal bag. #2 I haven't decided yet.
Day 55:
I transplanted #1 today into a 10gallon fabric smartpot. I mixed the bottom soil with Fox Farms Ocean Forest because we are getting ready to flip to bloom and ocean forest has more P&K and less N. And that's what we want. Hopefully she doesn't shock. I inoculated #1s roots with Azos during transplant. Applying it gently and directly onto the roots.

Tag 91: Die Trichome der Cosmos F1 Automatic von Royal Queen Seeds sind schon zum großen Teil trübe. Die drei Hauptcoli sind traumhaft gefärbt. Die Blüten sind sehr dick, fest und glitzern voller Trichome.
Habt einen schönen Tag. 😀

So at the start of week 3 I began to LST CM#3 to just experiment basically and topped CM#2 I believe. Again, just to experiment. This is my first grow and I was stunned with the reactions to both! The new growth after topping was about 1/4” in about 12hrs.. Crazy to me and the lst is proving to expose these bud sites and encourage amazing growth QUICK!! I’ll continue to train daily. One of the videos show the topped CM just yesterday. In 4 days, it’s grown soo much! Also, a video mentions the gender reveal but since then, all 4 have officially revealed themselves as female at the 22 day mark.

Harvest day 74. 10g dried after 4 days.
Little plant and little yeald.
Didn't respond well to topping, problems with over feeding in late flowering. Also began to foxtail in last week, probably due to 40°C at daytime.
Will update the smoke test curing.

Gracias al equipo de Seedsman y XpertNutrients sin ellos esto no sería posible.
💐🍁 Alaskan Do-Si-Dos:
Alaskan Do-Si-Dos ha sido desarrollada por expertos como una versión mejorada de la siempre popular variedad Alaskan Purple de Seedsman. La introducción de la genética Do-Si-Dos en la Alaskan Purple ha creado un híbrido índica/sativa que aumenta la potencia y el rendimiento al mismo tiempo que mejora el perfil de sabor y sigue siendo versátil en lo que respecta al cultivo en exterior.
La Alaskan Do-Si-Dos está destinada principalmente al cultivo al aire libre y en invernaderos. Las plantas crecen altas y prosperan en climas fríos, templados, cálidos y secos, al mismo tiempo que se desempeñan bien en altitud. Esto no impide que se cultive en interior, pero estas plantas grandes necesitarán mucho espacio. Las plantas muestran una resistencia moderada al moho pero, si se cultivan en interiores, hay que tener en cuenta que son RUIDOSAS, por lo que se beneficiará del uso de filtros de aire de carbón. En exterior, en latitudes septentrionales, la cosecha está prevista para finales de septiembre, mientras que en interior las plantas tardarán entre 8 y 10 semanas en completar la floración. Los rendimientos en exterior son muy altos y pueden superar fácilmente los 750gr/planta, mientras que en interior los rendimientos son elevados, hasta 600gr/m2. Los cogollos maduros tienen una densidad media y mantienen un color verde medio.

📆 Semana 1:
Ha sido una buena semana, ella ha dado otro gran cambio en su lugar definitivo 😎. Se le practicó poda apical porque estaba destacando de altura sobre el resto.
La carpa está ocupada al 75% y comienza una floracion explosiva gracias a @Marshydro y @Xpertnutrients y @Trolmaster con esta gran genética 💪.
A partir de ahora se riega manualmente con las dosis recomendadas por el fabricante.

Fed and defoliated to start week 7. The plant looks good, the buds are on point, frosty, sticky and look as expected at this stage of the grow.

Well they germinated in record time for me..48 hours all 4 seeds. Medium is 50/50 coco/perlite. I watered the pots a day before planting. 250Ec. Been watering when pots feel light till runoff. Heat pad I had seemed to dry out pots quick. Temps and humidity are good. I switched from H&G coco to CANNA coco this round. It seems like cannas coco fibres are smaller and are holding more water then H&G. Therefore I believe I've been overwatering This entire week! FFS

Another great week for the Apple Betty girls. I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed or withered leaf under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋.
I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish.
As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Day 52-64
(Day 54) I’m going to thoroughly inspect each plant and remove bananas if found. So far it’s only been the one on #7 but I don’t want to take a chance.
I’m also going to give a watering with some runoff.
(Day 55) Can’t find anymore bananas but that one. I will probably find a few bag seeds but who knows. It’s way too late for pollen to really have effect anyway.
These 5 plants finish nice and early compared to my other tent flipped on the same day. I would never take this strain 65+ days like last time. I would do 56-60 days next time I flower this strain
(Day 58) Holy shit this tent is fading like crazy now. They are starting to show some beautiful autumn colors. #1 #5 and #7 are definitely done. #3 and #6 could use a little more time so I’ve decided to take them down on the 24th.
I haven’t seen anymore bananas and the one that popped out on #7 has shriveled up and receded.
(Day 63) I’m seeing what look like seed pods starting to form in some of the main colas on my picture perfect pheno. #7 is showing 3 or 4 little bananas too. All of the top buds are definitely done so I’m going to harvest as soon as the lights come on tomorrow. I’m going to give one last watering right now and then harvest. I’ve noticed that harvesting a watered plant will extend the dry time by a few days and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. A nice slow dry. Plants are being full plant hung + dry trimmed and tent is being kept at 60-65 degrees and 60-65% RH.
Cutting everything down was a pain in the ass. I had to individually cut each square the scrog net so it wouldn’t contract and squish all the buds. I chopped down my other tent as well so I have no other plants in flower right now.
