🌿 Week 7 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌿 Hello, Grow Fam! We’re now into Week 7 of this exciting adventure with my Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco ladies, and what a week it’s been! The theme for this week? Patience and appreciation. These girls continue to grow at their own pace, each one showcasing their unique traits and incredible beauty. Week Recap: Slow and Steady Wins the Race The girls are still on the slower side in terms of growth, but that’s part of their charm. Each leaf is a masterpiece, more intricate and stunning than the last. Their prayer posture remains consistent—a true testament to their health and contentment in their environment. They may be taking their time, but their vitality and uniqueness shine through every step of the way. Environmental Conditions: Keeping Things Balanced This week has been about maintaining a steady environment despite the natural slowdown in growth due to cooler temperatures. • Temps: Daytime 18–20°C, nighttime 14–16°C. It’s a bit chillier than usual, but these resilient ladies are adapting beautifully. • Humidity: Stable at 65%, ensuring the girls remain hydrated and comfortable. • Airflow: Gentle but constant to keep the space fresh and prevent any stagnant air pockets. Feeding Program: Aptus Holland Perfection Feeding remains consistent, and the girls are loving the organic-mineral lineup from Aptus Holland. Here’s what’s in their mix this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – To strengthen cell walls and increase stress resistance. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – For robust development and prevention of deficiencies. • StartBooster: 0.25 ml/L – Enhances early vegetative growth and root systems. The switch to All-in-One Pellets last week has eliminated the need for liquid All-in-One, and the girls seem to be thriving with this natural, slow-release food source. Watering: A Gnat-Free Approach This week, I continued with bottom watering. Filling the trays and letting the soil absorb the water has been a game-changer—not just for healthy root development but also as a part of the war against gnats. Paired with yellow sticky traps, this strategy has kept pests in check while ensuring the roots get all the hydration they need. Growth Observations: Slow but Stunning • Structure: The slow growth might test patience, but the payoff is worth it. The compact, vibrant structure of each plant is breathtaking. • Leaves: Dark green, uniquely shaped, and full of character. Each girl is like an artist’s brushstroke—no two alike. • Praying Posture: Their leaves reach for the skies like they’re soaking up every ounce of light. Still no cloning or flipping to 12/12 yet, as I want them to grow a bit more before making any big moves. Next week, I’ll decide whether to flip them for a brief period to determine sex or wait until cloning is feasible. Photography Spotlight: Capturing the Details This week, I took some time to immortalize their beauty with my Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR cameras. The intricate details of their leaves, captured through different lenses, reveal their individuality. 📸 Photography Tip: • Cameras like my Sony and Nikon bring out fine details you’d never see with a phone camera. The larger sensors, interchangeable lenses, and manual controls allow for stunning clarity and depth. • Macro lenses, in particular, are fantastic for close-ups, like capturing water droplets or vein details in leaves. The difference between these and even the best phone cameras (like the latest iPhone) is night and day when it comes to quality and creative control. Looking Ahead: What’s Next? As we move into Week 8, I’m hoping for an uptick in growth speed, but I’m perfectly content to let these beauties take their time. The journey is just as rewarding as the destination, and these girls are proof of that. Shout Outs & Gratitude A massive thank you to: • Terpyz Genetics for these exceptional mutant seeds. • Aptus Holland for their top-tier nutrient lineup. • Future of Grow (FOG) for lighting that keeps these ladies praying. • Pro-Mix Soil for providing the perfect growing medium. • TrolMaster for environmental controls that make my life so much easier. • Grow Diaries for the platform to share this incredible journey. • And, of course, all of YOU—followers, supporters, and even the haters—for being part of this adventure. Your feedback, encouragement, and interaction mean the world to me. 🌟 If you’re curious about the journey, feel free to check out my Instagram and YouTube for behind-the-scenes content, photos, and more!

Day 43 (August 9th): This weather is all over the place. Super cold nights, then super hot days. We’ll see how it holds up! Day 46: A male popped up beside her, doesn’t look like she’s in flower yet and I caught the male pretty quickly. Should be alright. Still just watering when dry. Going to add some top dressing once I see signs of flower

Wow what a week. We are at 48” as of day 20 on the Enemy of The State plants (both are the same height now). The two White Criticals were 36 and 38 inches from the top of the tanks and the taller tops on Purple Purple are about 34”. Wedding cake is about 30” now. All my plants seem to love the 5.2 pH. Enemy of the state are on a lighter feed of about 950ppm and wedding cake is still eating from a vegetive reservoir at 1125ppm. Thanks for looking!

🌱 🤓 Spent this week keeping up with hefty defoliation and canopy maintenance. Two separate rounds of defoliation occurred this week, the last round included the removal of any branches that were growing. In the underbrush who had not yet made it to the surface of the canopy. Branches that hang out in the underbrush contribute to poor air flow while simultaneously sucking energy from the plant. I don't want my plant wasting energy on poor producing branches, so they gotta go! I also made sure to try and remove the same branches on all new mains as to keep the plant as symmetrical as possible. ✌️💜🌱

Stage: Week 8 of flowering Height: The plant has reached an impressive height, with a strong, vertical growth pattern. Buds: The buds are getting thick and dense, forming a long, massive cola that runs almost the entire length of the main stem. They’re covered in trichomes and emit a strong, citrusy aroma. Health: The plant is thriving, showing no signs of stress or deficiencies. The leaves are a healthy green, and the buds continue to swell nicely. Strain Description: Critical Orange Punch by Dutch Passion is known for its vigorous growth and high yield potential. It produces dense, resinous buds with a sweet, citrusy flavor and a balanced, relaxing effect. 🍊🌿 Thank you to Dutch Passion for this incredible strain! 🌱

Week 8: Nothing but water and wait for the rest of her time. She's beginning her flush so I figure a couple weeks and she'll be good to harvest 😎 This girl smells like Chem, Cherries and cream and she has really been putting on some weight here at the end. Her buds are deceptively dense and spear shaped. As the calyxes swell so do the trichs. Really interested to see what she smokes like.

12/16/2021 Recovery is a success! A little raggedy but putting on decent growth in last couple day's. Also need to decide if I top or mainline the two tops? Going to feed her today and see how she grows this week then decide what action is appropriate. She actually has 4 tops! Three are more developed but if you look closely there is 4. I kind of want to let it grow, although it may cause a split later on😕 . So still thinking on it.

July 29, 2024 So I was going to wait to harvest at the end of this week, but a friend of mine said I should harvest now. I agreed after looking closely at the trichomes. Sour Diesel A weighed in at 20.5 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel B weighed in at 19 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel C weighed in at 23.5 oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel D weighed in at 18 Oz wet weight. Partial wet trim. The cola is solid, so I couldn't access a lot of the stems from the fan leaves. It'll be a pain to trim I think. The environment should be around 65° and the humidity just below 60%. I'll strive to keep it that way. I shouldn't have a problem with the humidity still being high in my room. I'll be back in 10 to 14 days with a final yield and smoke review. July 30, 2024 Quick update with estimates. The environment in the tent is off by a lot today. I'll have to open the tent once or twice a day to let the super high humidity out. I hate my portable AC. So based on the 81 Oz wet weight and my previous runs, the weight retention after trimming should be around 13%. That should be a total of around 10 oz. It may be a tiny bit more or less. With Sour Diesel D being partially wet trimmed and being so dense, it might increase the total dry weight a little bit. But it could be as low as 8 Oz. We shall see. July 31, 2024 You know, it really sucks when the humidity still spikes and now the tent is too warm. However, as I'm writing this, the central air kicked on. This should fix it all, but I'm still running into super high humidity at night and in the morning while the AC is off. I really hope this doesn't mess up the final product. August 2, 2024 Day 4 of drying. Everything looks good so far. The humidity is still way too high and I'm thinking I should've wet trimmed just because the humidity is so high. Too late now. Anyway, I'm monitoring closely. The exhaust fan is maxed out to help keep air flow constant. That way there's less chance of mold and mildew. I also have both oscillating running below the plants with a small dehumidifier in the middle. It's not keeping the humidity down to a reasonable level, but it IS keeping it lower than it would be. With the fans running, it's evenly leveled out through the tent. The only issue is the temp. It's a bit on the warm side. I'd like it to be at 65°. Currently it's hovering between 69° and 70°. August 4, 2024 Day 6 of drying and these ladies are taking their time. Unfortunately it's because of the super high humidity we ran into the day I harvested. So I'm fighting with 71% humidity in my bedroom. It's crazy. The portable AC is doing absolutely nothing except keeping the temp below 70°. That's good, but it's not good enough. Oh well. I'll just keep opening the tent up with the bedroom light set to green to ensure they air out and let fresh humidity in. Lol. I'll keep checking in until they are done drying. August 6, 2024 Quick update. These ladies have been drying for 8 days now and they aren't ready yet. I'd say another 5 to 7 days. With the humidity being so bouncy, I feel like something will get messed up. It probably won't. I have the exhaust fan up and the oscillating fans going. Should be safe from mold and whatnot. But still. Currently, the temp is at 63° and the humidity at 60%. Hopefully it stays that way for the next few days. At least during the day. I have an idea for night time. It gets pretty humid at night. So I'll turn both dehumidifiers on when I go to bed and turn them off when the AC kicks on. That should technically keep the humidity down, but the temp may go up. However, I do run the portable AC at night to keep my room cool enough for the plants. That brings in a lot of humidity. Still no clue why, but it does. Anyway, the whole idea should work. I just have to remember to shut the dehumidifiers off when the central AC kicks on. August 8, 2024 We are at day 10 of drying. Still another few days left. So a good thing to note is the size of the buds. They didn't shrink all that much. To be honest, they look like they've only lost about 25% of their size. Not a bad thing in the slightest. Hopefully with that being the case, the yield will be even bigger than I calculated. I'd also like to make a correction with my original calculation. My average yield is 15% of wet weight. That being said, I should be looking at closer to 12 oz total. 81 oz. x .15= 12.15 oz. We shall see how close I am now. August 10, 2024 It's now day 12. These ladies are nearly done. I'd say another 2 to 3 days. Not much else today. Just a quick one. I weighed Sour Diesel D. She weighs 4 oz now. A 78% drop in weight. That being said, I think I can safely say this one will yield around 2 oz. Maybe a hint less. Which completely messed up my calculations. Now I don't know. I think I'll go back down to 8 to 10 oz. And if I get 12 oz, what happy surprise. I also made sure to check them for mold as I do every day. So far it looks great! No signs of anything unwanted. Just beautiful trichomes glistening in the light. Update: Sour Diesel A was the first to finish up. She had a perfect snap. Dry trimmed yield is 67 grams. 2.4 oz. Around what I thought I was gonna see. I'd say the rest will be trimmed over the next 2 to 3 days. August 12, 2024 What a couple weeks. We are talking like 14 days. At the end of it all, I ended up with 10.65 oz. Right around where I was thinking. Sour Diesel A 67 grams Sour Diesel B 78 grams Sour Diesel C 79 grams Sour Diesel D 77 grams. For a grand total of 302 grams. Weight retention 13.15%. almost exactly what I calculated. What's funny is that they are all roughly the same weight except for A. The plants were all different and still yielded roughly the same. C was the largest, while D was technically the smallest. All of the plants have solid buds. B has airy but hard buds. It's not perfect, but this plant had the most foxtails, so I'll have to remember there was some sort of issue. I'm thinking it was the heat stress. Must have been a pocket where the air didn't flow. I'll have to fix that next run. The smoke is fantastic. Super fire. Great high and lasts quite a while. 30 days of curing and then storage. I'll be using Grove Bags. August 15, 2024 Quick update and then some bad news. I fit each plant in its own 1/4 pound grove bag. They are now curing in a box. The average temp is around 68°. Humidity is perfect at 62% I haven't sampled each plant yet. Only A and B. I'll be sampling C and D next week. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this run. The yield was a bit lower than I was hoping for in the beginning, but it's still not too bad. Especially because I had some issues along the way. Now for the bad news. I'm losing my home in a couple months and won't be able to grow anything for a while. I have no idea how long it's going to be before I get a new home, and it could take up to 2 years given my situation. But I will be back when I'm able. Thanks for all the support and compliments. On a more positive note, I still have a good pound of weed to hopefully last me til I get a new home. I don't smoke a ton, so it'll last quite a while. Later my growmies.

Week 9 started so far they are looking great to me. 1 plant started almost exactly 1 week ahead of the other 2 (the plant with yellow pipe cleaner on some branches is the 1 plant that started to preflower ahead of the other 2 plants. ) it's really smelling great aswell. Pretty exciting to watch these autoflowers. Over night u get to see some crazy growth .. Been learning alot with this first attempt with autoflowers.. we're going to be starting up some more hopefully . But will update more photos during the week as they fill out . Getting closer , but no rush on these girls , their looking and smelling AMAZING .

Time for the stretch! Lots of flowering growth happening now. I can see where the bud spots will be so I’m going to have to stop moving the branching around in the Scrog, also the branches are getting thick and less pliable.
