Hello again and welcome to week 5, the beginning of true flower! Ahsoka (her star wars name) is doing awesome with LST. Last week we tied down her main cola but this week her branches were long enough to Tie most of them down to. I will leaf tuck everyday to keep light on the budsites. Ashoka has finally hardened off properly and I moved her to the big tent since she is also in flower. She is under The Optic 8+ we still haven't had to feed any nutrients yet 🤞 but are giving real growers recharge as a microbial. As you can see her roots have just exploded with growth. Love this opaque container deal! The Optic 8+ is turned up full blast as well since we hardened her off by gradually bringing her into the tent Stats: Ohahu(not reccomended)4x4 tent 1gal water pitcher Fox farms happy frog soil Optic 8+ LED Durabreeze carbon filter 4" inline fan

Im feeding her steadily at around 825ppm every morning monitoring any possible deficiencies. I did defoliate quite a few leaves from the to[ and bottom once I felt that she is thriving happy and growing more vigorously during the stretch. I raised the light a full 2 feet. during week 1 and now at the end of week 2 the tallest stalk is about 14 inches while most are around 20. reason for a few stalks being taller is because of what happened when our 3rd plant ended up being a male during the transition to 12/12. Im not gna try anything crazy to try and fix it. Obviously there are no problems so dont fix whats not broken I guess. Have a great week !

🌿 Woche 20 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Endlich geht es los 🌸🔥! Beide Mentha de Croco haben jetzt mit der Blüte begonnen und ich freue mich unheimlich auf die kommenden Wochen 😍🌱 Die linke Pflanze ist inzwischen etwa 2,07 m, die rechte sogar ca. 2,20 m hoch 📏🚀. Aus den ehemaligen „Wolkenkratzern“ werden jetzt hoffentlich riesige Blütenbüsche 🌲🌸. Im unteren Bereich habe ich hier und da ein paar gelbe Blätter entfernt 🍂. Mit dem Topdress war ich leider ungefähr eine Woche zu spät, sodass die Pflanzen zwischenzeitlich einen leichten Stickstoffmangel gezeigt haben. Bei dieser unglaublichen Pflanzenmasse sind ein paar gelbe Blätter allerdings wirklich kein Drama 😄💚. Letzten Samstag habe ich Almicanna Kickflip leicht in die obere Erdschicht eingearbeitet 🌿. Am nächsten Tag gab es den Almicanna Flower Komposttee, den ich zuvor 48 Stunden gebraut hatte 🍵. Die Nährstofffreisetzung aus dem Topdress erfolgt natürlich zeitverzögert, weshalb die Pflanzen die zusätzlichen Nährstoffe nicht sofort zur Verfügung hatten. Die entfernten Blätter lasse ich im Eimer trocknen 🍂 und werde sie im Laufe der Saison wieder als Mulch für die Pflanzen verwenden. So bleibt die organische Masse im Kreislauf ♻️🌱. Jetzt stehe ich allerdings vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung 🤔: Lasse ich die Pflanzen einfach laufen und genieße den Aufbau riesiger Buds oder entferne ich gleich zu Beginn einen größeren Teil der Blüten 🌸✂️? Der Breeder gibt eine Blütezeit von 11–12 Wochen an. Damit wäre eine Ernte wahrscheinlich erst Ende Oktober bis Anfang November zu erwarten. Und bei einem typischen deutschen Herbst 🍂🌧️ muss man realistisch bleiben: Riesige, kompakte Buds hätten zu dieser Jahreszeit wahrscheinlich ein erhebliches Schimmelrisiko. Daher werde ich vermutlich nicht ganz der Natur ihren freien Lauf lassen können und die Pflanzen im weiteren Verlauf ordentlich auslichten müssen. Sicherheit vor maximaler Bud-Größe 🌧️🍃✂️. Am meisten freue ich mich aber jetzt schon auf den Herbst 🍂❤️. Die farnartigen Blätter dieser Genetik sind einfach wunderschön und wenn sie sich im Herbst noch entsprechend verfärben, wird das wahrscheinlich ein echtes Fest für die Augen 🍁🌿😍. Ich bin gespannt, was die nächsten 11–12 Wochen bringen 🚀🌸! 🌿 Week 20 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 It’s finally happening 🌸🔥! Both Mentha de Croco plants have now started flowering, and I’m incredibly excited for the weeks ahead 😍🌱! The left plant is now around 2.07 m, while the right one has reached approximately 2.20 m 📏🚀. The former “skyscrapers” are now hopefully going to turn into huge flowering plants 🌲🌸. I removed a few yellowing leaves from the lower sections 🍂. I was unfortunately about one week late with the top dress, so the plants showed some mild nitrogen deficiency in the meantime. With this enormous amount of plant biomass, however, a few yellow leaves really aren’t a big deal 😄💚. Last Saturday I lightly worked Almicanna Kickflip into the upper soil layer 🌿. The following day, I gave them Almicanna Flower Compost Tea, which had been brewed for 48 hours 🍵. Since the nutrients from the top dress are released gradually, the additional nutrition wasn’t immediately available to the plants. I’m keeping the removed leaves in a bucket to dry 🍂 and will use them as mulch for the plants later in the season ♻️🌱. Now I have a difficult decision to make 🤔: Do I let the plants run naturally and enjoy watching them build huge buds, or should I remove a significant number of flowers right at the beginning 🌸✂️? The breeder lists a flowering time of 11–12 weeks, which would put harvest somewhere around late October to early November. With a typical German autumn 🍂🌧️, we have to be realistic: enormous, dense buds would carry a very high risk of mold this late in the season. So unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to let nature completely take its course. I’ll most likely have to thin the plants out quite heavily as flowering progresses. Better to sacrifice some bud size than lose everything to mold 🌧️🍃✂️. What I’m looking forward to the most, though, is the autumn show 🍂❤️. The fern-like leaves of this genetics are absolutely beautiful, and if they develop some spectacular autumn colors, I think these plants will become a real feast for the eyes 🍁🌿😍. I can’t wait to see what the next 11–12 weeks bring 🚀🌸!

Buenas buenasss Enormes vienen estas oreoz de las chalotas, estan compartiendo carpa con otras pero ellas resaltan😍 Si vamos a lo tecnico parece que estuvieron con exceso de nitrogeno por el grow q les puse sumado al sustrato complete q va liberando nutrientes de a poco, nuevo aprendizaje jaja ya vamos solucionando de a poco con pura aguita, poca y seguido aunq me recomendaron hacer un lavado pero cada loco con su tema 😝 parece que igual se van desbloquando porq les habian quedado las hojas mas nuevas oscuras y arrugadas, con crecimiento lento pero desde q lo identificamos con mi amigo el jardin33ro, vienen creciendo mucho mejor

Welcome back all, following a week that has been a fairly straight forward seven days or so in Fat Yappa's Garden, as the older Bruce Banners reach day 51, day 44 for the runt of the sisters, planted on the same day but that took a week longer to germinate, and day 42 for the two Wedding Cheesecake's, one growing in Coco Coir, the other in the same living soil as her Bruce Banner Fastbuds cousins. The week began with last weeks humidity issues brought well and truly into hand with the addition of the new 20L dehumidifier from Meaco, specifically designed for the UK weather. However a shift in the aforementioned from the falls dawn of an early spring, to a return to more usual climate conditions for this time of year through things off kilter once again. Despite pulling around 6L of water out the air a day, she was struggling to keep the RH down to around 50% with my central heating returned to its usual position of 18c, but an increase to 20c has taken things back in line, and the humidity has returned to the mid 40's I was aiming for. Humidity concerns during this off period however, and a subsequent inspection below the top layer of the canopy, which resulted in the discovery of quite a lot of whitish, moist growth, prompted a mass defoliation, mostly of the Bruce Banners. I had been performing very light defoliation up until this point, only removing dead/almost dead leaves, and very select leaves from the top of the canopy that were blocking what looked like bud sites, but the lack of light and air getting through past the top layer, together with the fact that now bud sites are far clearer to a novice such as I, lead me to the conclusion that the time was right. Besides the runt, all these plants have not even skipped a beat. The runt has been a bit droopier in her leaves than the others all in all, but I have looked in on them and seen her with leaves pointing up and praying a few times since so I trust all is well. Following the defoliaton on day 47, the plants stuck to their two day watering schedule, but di threatened to need an increase to daily, as day 50 saw waterings a mere 24hrs after the previous day, but feeling the weight of the pots yesterday I elected to wait til 48 hours to water again. The water amounts per plant has also become more erratic than previously, so I have been watering more carefully. Other than that the week has been pretty much plain sailing, and what look like to be some big looking flowers coming up all over the canopy, as all bar the Wedding Cheesecake in living soil are now fully in flower, but she will be there by next week. The Bruce banner I accidentally snapped the top off from the second node down doing LST a few weeks ago seems to be about half a week ahead of the other two of the same age, and trichomes have began to appear on the leaves around the buds. The biggest plant in the tent is still the wedding Cheesecake in Coco coir, as she now stand a metre tall and her top is the same level as the light now. Her size is a concern because it has caused me to neglect her in favour of the other plants, certainly in terms of light, but she doesn't seem to have any more bud sites than the other plants, and for the time being at least, her older cousins are leaving her to shame in this department, but she still has a week to catch up. Lastly, day 39 saw another compost tea feeding, the same recipe as last time. Happy growing everyone, and I will catch you all again next week.

Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55% Things I'd do differently: 1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline 2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings. 3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier 4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!! 5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice. 6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment. 7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops. Things I was happy with: 1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants. 2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace. 3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots. 4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers. 5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control. 6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.

D42 - The beginning of the second week of flower, and all I did was tighten the LST wires. D43 - I opened the tent today and realized I forgot to fill up the humidifier last night. The RH in the tent was only 29%. Oops! I gave the girl about one liter of compost tea that I started brewing yesterday. D47 - A couple of days ago, I discovered thrips in my other tent, so I sprayed those plants with a chili tincture. Fortunately, I haven't seen any signs of thrips in this tent, but you can never be too careful with those little buggers. However, since this girl is in flower I couldn't spray her. I ordered some predatory mites, and today, they arrived, and I put them into the tents. D48 -The last day of the second week of flower. Not much to report as she is just doing her thing and fattening up the buds.

31.03. D31 Settling into the system. The plants are now fully established in the Autopot setup, which has been activated. Growth is starting to accelerate as the roots take advantage of the constant water supply. All tops have been taken, and structure is beginning to form. Some leaves showed slight signs of low humidity stress over the past days (around 30–35%), affecting transpiration and leading to a more compact growth pattern. Humidity has now been stabilized at ~55%, and the plants are already responding positively. A close eye is being kept on potential thrips activity — if confirmed, biological control (nematodes) will be applied early. Overall, everything is on track. Control the environment. The plants will follow 04.04. D35 Everything on track. The plants are responding well and overall development is strong and consistent. Today’s work focused on opening up the structure: LST applied to spread the canopy and improve light penetration, along with light defoliation to clean up inner growth. No complications so far. Healthy growth. Good response to training. From here on, it’s all about shaping an even canopy and guiding the structure. Steady progress.

Ill have to update the final results in 4 weeks. Plants are still drying and I gave it my best guess.
