🌱 Week 6 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Croco Adventure 🌱 Hey, Grow Fam! It’s week 6 in our Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco veg journey, and what a ride it’s been! These mutants are taking their sweet time growing, but with each passing day, I’m falling more in love with their quirky, unique beauty. Every plant is a masterpiece of nature—peculiar and stunning in its own way. 💚 Growth Highlights: The slow and steady growth continues to reflect their resilience. These Croco beauties are thriving despite cooler temperatures this week—daytime temps sitting around 18°C and dropping to 14°C at night, paired with 65% RH. They’re proving to be tough little warriors, adapting to the environment like champs! Even though their growth is slower than usual, the details in their leaves are breathtaking. Each plant has its own story to tell, and I’m loving the diversity in structure, color, and patterns. It’s like watching art unfold in slow motion. 🎨 Nutrition Update: This week, I’ve kept feeding consistent with Aptus Holland nutrients—but remember, we phased out the liquid All-in-One formula since the All-in-One Pellets provide everything they need for now. Here’s the mix for this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – Building resilience and helping them adapt to the colder temps. • Start Booster: 0.25 ml/L – Encouraging root health and giving them a gentle push forward. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – Supporting robust leaf growth and preventing deficiencies in these chilly conditions. The pellets are doing a fantastic job of slowly releasing nutrients, ensuring that the plants get a steady supply without any risk of overfeeding. Aptus Holland’s organic-mineral blend continues to impress me with its balance and efficiency. Truly a grower’s best friend! Decisions Pending: Flip or Clone? I’m still holding off on flipping to flower or taking clones. With their slow growth, I want to give them all the time they need to reach a size where I can confidently determine sex. Whether I decide to flip for a week and revert, or take clones for sexing, will depend on how they progress in the next couple of weeks. It’s a reminder to embrace patience in growing. Every strain, every phenotype, every plant teaches us something unique about nurturing life. 🌿 The Beauty of Photography: This week, I brought out my trusty Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR to capture the intricate details of these plants. From the mesmerizing leaf patterns to water droplets reflecting their surroundings, these frames truly showcase their unique personalities. Why Cameras Over Phones? • Lens Power: Swapping out lenses allows me to get super close for those macro shots, capturing details that even the best phones can’t touch. • Dynamic Range: Cameras handle light and shadow better, making every photo a true work of art. • Depth of Field: Blurring the background helps highlight each plant’s unique features. Sure, phone cameras are convenient, but nothing beats the joy of immortalizing these beauties with the precision and creativity of a good DSLR or mirrorless camera. 📸 Shoutouts & Love: Massive thanks to Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these fascinating seeds, Aptus Holland for keeping the nutrition game strong, Pro-Mix Soil for the rich growing medium, and Future of Grow for providing stellar lighting! A big shoutout to TrolMaster for making environmental control a breeze, and to Grow Diaries for being such an incredible platform to share this journey. Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to the entire community—followers, supporters, and even the curious passersby. Your love, questions, and feedback fuel this adventure! Final Thoughts: This week has been all about patience, adaptation, and marveling at the uniqueness of nature. Each plant is a little piece of art, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to nurture and share their journey.

Thankfully these girls have been completely self-sufficient until now. We just started showing signs of magnesium defiency and will be giving both plants a full dose (5ml/gal) later this afternoon...they're not getting as much sun as we'd like but its the best we can do with our property layout..this will prob hurt our yield but it is what it is.. not too much else to report, we've been straight out with work for weeks lol..thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️🌱 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Zoap is doing awesome, she grows at least a quarter inch a day if not more. I’m going to do some mainlining on her. She seems good def not going to finish her before the competition ends, but oh well I will still do her justice! Until next time growmies best of luck and bountiful harvests! ✌️ 07/24/23

Hello everyone! Mimosa X Orange Punch is doing amazing she loves the environment I have set up for her. Might have to top dress with some power bloom soon as they are growing quite big and I have been very sparse in giving them to much nutes as I really didn’t want to give them nitrogen toxicity. Thinking about another 2 weeks in veg to really fill the tent out. I have tied down a lot of the branches to the trellis net to maximize the area, once they are where I want them I will untie them. Until next time growmies hope all your harvest are blessed with abundance of dank. ✌️ 07/24/23

Hello growmies! Welcome to week five of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! The girls are all at different early flowering stages, but they are only days apart from each other. I have a bit of a quandary now though, as I am no longer following the nutrient schedule as these plants are too fast for it. So I am unsure whether to start PK warrior or not yet. I have also realised I have probably underfed them in the last week or so, which to be honest isn't a big deal for me right now as they are already waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than expected. Let's talk about that a moment. This strain has an average height of 50-70cm. I wonder if those numbers were for soil grows? It seems for coco you will get even bigger plants. Case in point these six girls measured at 3pm 24/7 day 30 as follows: Plant 1: 111cm Plant 2: 99cm Plant 3: 90cm Plant 4: 89cm Plant 5: 85cm Plant 6: 84cm Plant 3 appears to have stopped stretching and is the most advanced into flower. Plant 4 is right behind it and has slowed down but not yet stopped stretching. Plant 2 is next in terms of flowering development her stretch is slowing. Plant 5 is still stretching rapidly and is coming to the end of preflower. No concern really at 85cm she has some room yet. Plant 6 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Slightly concerned despite her 84cm stature as she has been the most beefy looking plant all along, so I am expecting her to grow a good bit more. Plant 1 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Extremely very concerned about this one. The light is about as high as it can go. 111cm!! I have scoured the internet and the tallest Epsilon F1 I have found was 95cm. It's great that she is so happy this plant, but if she gets much taller I'm going to have to super crop her main cola. Whatever happens I am starting to dream of smashing my yield target out of the park, these girls are all impressive. Hard to believe they are just 30 days old. Daily Updates: ### Week 5 Day 2 15:00 24/7 Photographed. ### Week 5 Day 2 23:30 24/7 fertigated 1.6l and updated nutrient schedule for the week ### Week 5 Day 3 20:00 25/7 took a short video ### Week 5 Day 4 05:00 26/7 photographed ### Week 5 Day 4 18:00 26/7 Measured (brace yourself). Plant 1: 126cm Plant 2: 107cm Plant 3: 93cm Plant 4: 94cm Plant 5: 97cm Plant 6: 96cm Plants 3 and 4 have stopped stretching now and are fully into flower. At 93cm and 94cm respectively, by the end of flower these girls may hit 1m but they wont go much more than that. Plant 2 looks to have just about stopped as well. It might go another 10cm overall. Plant 5 is still stretching but I think not much more. Plant 6 is still stretching and I am still expecting quite a bit of growth from her. Then there is plant 1. 126cm and still stretching. It has now grown beyond the height of the light. I hope it can somehow finish itself before it hits the top of the tent. I mean the secondary colas are over 1m already. It is a great shame this giant plant doesn't have more horizontal space to itself, either way it is absolutely shocking to see. I really do not want to super crop her, but am out of options. This grow, incidentally, constitutes the first and last time that I let any indoor cannabis plant go untrained. With basically 4 x 4 x 4 of usable space, training my plants is not really optional - and now you can all see why. This "50-70cm" strain has rapidly outgrown my space. RQS it may be time to revisit the height claims on this strain. Just saying. ### Week 5 Day 6 01:00 28/7 Rearranged the tent and photographed. I have been regularly rotating the plants and periodically moving them around. My problem is now plant one has already hit the top of the tent and there is no easy way to give it anymore space... still not sure what I am supposed to do but it's fine for now... tried to capture the problem with the photos. As well as plant 1, plant 6 looks like it's going to keep going for a good bit yet, and plant 2 is still putting a bit of height on. I took plenty of photos today to try and capture the essence of the jungle. It is quite unbelievable what these plants have done. I just cannot stop looking at them, they are magnificent. I have not fed for 4 days, will probably feed later I am just trying to slow them down a bit by not feeding them. It doesn't seem to be working. ### Week 5 Day 6 23:00 28/7 Defoliated heavily all plants. Fertigated 2l each. Removed some more lower side growth off the smallest plant (plant 3) to make space. Might leave it a few days before I photograph again. Plants 2, 3, and 4 are all well into flowering now, plant 5 is not far behind them, but plants 1 and 6 are still in preflower. :( What is really remarkable right now is the difference in colour between the plants further into flower vs the plants still in preflower. The plants in flowering have much darker leaves. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

Started germinating Tropicana cookies & Orange Sherbet F1 FAST FLOWERING from Fast Buds, germinated in 24 hours, planted into jiffy starters & sprouted within 24 to 48 hours. So far I've been happy with Fast Buds genetics 100% success rate, 6 out 6 germinated FF1 & Auto's. Looking forward to see how these fast flowers go? This FF1 grow will start off my perpetual grow cycle again.

Che dire ragazzi... Odori fortissimi nell'aria, come vedete gli insetti stanno a pranzo e cena sulle mie piccole.. Pazienza! Non dovrebbe mancare tanto, penso 2 settimane al raccolto, sono riuscito a farcele vedere di giorno finalmente è sono contento di poterle condividere con tutti voi 🙏🏽 aggiunte un po di noci in più, anche se si vede un po di fox talking, il resto perfetto.

It will supply a good oz of buds for about a week or so. It wasn't a huge investment. I just sorta wanted to use the beans along side my flowering plants.

Well, as it's been 8 full weeks now it's time to change to flora, today the 24th of July 2023 I'm changing the time from vega to flora so they will take 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness thus starting the flowering phase, today I should have watered with top bloom from top crop but it ended up that I watered only with water and I'll wait for the next watering I'll already water with top bloom from top crop and let's see what these beautiful girls do, I was going to leave another time in vega another two weeks apparently i'm going to move so i don't know if i'm going to have much time left in this house so i'm going to take advantage of the time i have and already putting them to bloom
