This plant has been going strong for sometime now. I’m starting this grow diary so soon because I need to keep track of how much longer I have until it’s ready for harvest. I already forgot what day I switched to bloom lol. But I’ll be posting weekly. With better pictures.

Perfect strain to grow, easy, fast and sweet as sugar totally covered in trichomes. The plants showed a very equaled and stable genetics and are very generous with a little care, this strain is almost like walking directly into a dutch candy shop with all kind of winegum smells, simply perfect.

Those three Bubble OG plants are something else. They're stretching up so much, it's like they're on steroids or something. Seriously, in the past week they've shot up a ton. I can't believe how much they've grown. Well, it's Christmas again. This year feels a little different, though. Maybe it's the snow blanketing everything, or the way the tree lights up the whole living room. Either way, it's cozy and warm, even when it's freezing outside. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Santa brings. I hope I get that new video game I've been wanting. But most of all, I can't wait to spend time with my family. We always have so much fun This past week was a good one for the plants. They started the first week of their stretch, and they've already grown a decent amount. I can really see them filling out. It's cool to watch them grow so fast. I can't wait to see how big they get by the end I always get a little worried at this stage, like they're not gonna get as big as I want them to. But then I remember how they always end up surprising me. By the end, they're always perfect.

Only one picture this week! Nothing much to say. I reorganised the compost.

🌿 Woche 23 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Diese Woche stand ganz im Zeichen einer ziemlich radikalen Entscheidung ✂️🌿. Letzten Samstag habe ich beide Pflanzen stark entlaubt und ungefähr die Hälfte der Triebe entfernt. Alle unteren Buds mussten weichen – übrig bleiben nur die Top Buds mit der besten Lichtexposition ☀️🌸. Mein Ziel ist dabei ganz klar: Qualität vor Quantität 💚. Ich möchte die Luftzirkulation verbessern, das Schimmelrisiko im kommenden Herbst reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Geruchsentwicklung aus Rücksicht auf meine Nachbarn möglichst gering halten 🌬️🏡. Bei einem möglichen Erntezeitpunkt Ende Oktober oder Anfang November möchte ich einfach nicht riskieren, am Ende einen Großteil der Buds wegen Schimmel wegwerfen zu müssen 🍂🌧️. Natürlich tut es im Herzen weh, aus solchen majestätischen Pflanzen so viel Biomasse herauszunehmen 😢🌿. Aber am Ende interessiert mich nur das Ergebnis. Lieber weniger, dafür hochwertige und gesunde Buds, als eine riesige Menge, von der später ein großer Teil im Müll landet 🙏🌸. Die linke Pflanze ist mittlerweile ca. 2,18 m, die rechte sogar 2,33 m groß 📏🚀. Durch das starke Auslichten hat sich der Wasserverbrauch erwartungsgemäß ungefähr halbiert 💧. Die linke Pflanze sieht momentan allerdings noch etwas unglücklich aus 😕🌿. Dazu kommt, dass die Sonnenerde langsam deutlich an ihre Grenzen kommt und ich rückblickend wahrscheinlich noch stärker hätte topdressen müssen. Die letzten vier Tage war ich wieder beruflich unterwegs und meine Frau hat das Gießen übernommen 💧❤️. Leider wurde offenbar die gleiche Wassermenge deutlich schneller ausgebracht, wodurch jedes Mal Drain entstanden ist. Ich vermute, dass dadurch teilweise auch Nährstoffe ausgespült wurden und sich das bestehende Defizit dadurch weiter verstärkt hat 🌱💦. Ich versuche jetzt gegenzusteuern. Am Freitag gab es einmal BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom und Heaven nach All-Mix-Schema auf 5 Liter Wasser 🌿. Heute folgt zusätzlich noch Almicanna Flower Komposttee 🍵. Danach heißt es erst einmal beobachten und schauen, ob sich vor allem die linke Pflanze wieder erholt 👀🌱. Die rechte Pflanze steht momentan deutlich besser da und wirkt insgesamt kräftiger 💚. Auch beim Reiben am Stamm ist ihr Geruch mittlerweile deutlich intensiver 👃🌿. Interessanterweise ist dafür die linke Pflanze in der Budentwicklung weiter 🌸. Die beiden Phenos zeigen damit immer deutlicher ihre unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften – und genau das macht den Vergleich so spannend 😍. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken und beobachten 🤞🌱. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die beiden nach diesem massiven Eingriff in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln werden 🍂🌸. 🌿 Week 23 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 This week was all about a rather radical decision ✂️🌿. Last Saturday I heavily defoliated both plants and removed roughly half of the branches. All lower buds were removed as well – I’m keeping only the top buds with the best light exposure ☀️🌸. My goal is very clear: quality over quantity 💚. I want to improve airflow, reduce the risk of mold during the upcoming autumn, and at the same time minimize the amount of smell for the sake of my neighbors 🌬️🏡. With harvest potentially coming in late October or early November, I simply don’t want to risk losing a large part of the crop to mold 🍂🌧️. It honestly hurts a little to remove so much biomass from such majestic plants 😢🌿. But ultimately, I’m only interested in the final result. I’d rather have fewer high-quality, healthy buds than an enormous amount that ends up in the trash because of mold 🙏🌸. The left plant is now approximately 2.18 m, while the right one has reached an incredible 2.33 m 📏🚀. As expected, the heavy defoliation has roughly halved their water consumption 💧. The left plant doesn’t look particularly happy at the moment, though 😕🌿. On top of that, the Sonnenerde is clearly starting to run out of nutrients, and looking back, I probably should have used a heavier top dress. I was away on a work trip for the last four days and my wife took care of the watering 💧❤️. Unfortunately, it seems the same amount of water was applied much faster, resulting in drainage every time. I suspect this may have washed out some nutrients and contributed to the further development of the nutrient deficiency 🌱💦. I’m now trying to correct the situation. On Friday I gave them BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom and Heaven according to the All-Mix schedule in 5 liters of water 🌿. Today they’ll receive another dose of Almicanna Flower Compost Tea 🍵. After that, it’s time to observe and see whether the left plant starts recovering 👀🌱. The right plant is looking significantly better at the moment and appears much stronger overall 💚. The smell is also noticeably more intense when rubbing the stem of this plant 👃🌿. Interestingly, however, the left plant is further ahead in bud development 🌸. The two phenotypes are clearly showing increasingly different characteristics – and that’s what makes this comparison so interesting 😍. Now it’s time to keep my fingers crossed and watch closely 🤞🌱. I’m very curious to see how these two plants respond to such a major intervention over the next few weeks 🍂🌸.

Welcome to week 13🤠 This week I have been doing a bit of LST every day, so I've been bussy. I have also trimmed her a litlle bit, but not to much She's comming to a halt in growth, so very soon the buds will start swelling up They have a very sweet smell, something like vitamin drinks, and the buds are getting sticky Watered her with ph7.21 water, run-off water was at ph6.39, So I still have to raise the pH Weather was worm this week and very sunny, but it should cool down again She's very symnetrical and beautiful, I really like relaxing next to her❤️ I've also got all the material for my drying box, so hopefully I'll make it soon And I'll be making a small roof so my harvest doesn't get ruined So I think this is all to be said, I'll edit this week if I forgot to say something or made some mistakes Otherewise see you soon!🤠🤠

Day 66 : This lady continues fattening, faster now. Also crystal production increased. The breeder suggests 70-75 days. For now all crystals are almost milky with some cloudy. So she need 1 week for sure, maybe a bit more. That gum smell is so attractive, you want to eat it. Reduced bio grow and removed Calcium. Edit 70 : I saw the first ambers, very little. So i watered for last time with juices Next watering will be flush to reduce the juices in the soil. So if initially has 1200-1300ppm i want to reduce it to 350-500ppm. After flush continue pure water until chop chop. This is my approach for all ladies always.

On veg the temperature is so high ≈32-35Cº.

Never heard of weedseedsexpress before coming to grow diaries. Saw the contest as a great opportunity to try new seeds, and I was very surprised with the outcome. 100% germination rate, super strong plants, easy to grow, when it comes to pests and plagues, also performed well... even tho one was chopped because of becoming hermie, didn’t had any other issues with it. They like space to grow! And taking 2kg from 5 plants, to me, it’s an absolute record! I’ll definitely wanna try now more of @weedseedsexpress and recommend you guys to try them too. Weed has been drying now for 4 days, so, pretty soon I’ll be able to add the final weight!

16 g trocken für meine erste Pflanze recht zufrieden

this little shogun that could has stretched to the max! She is actually a little big bush now. Too bad this season was not as ideal as it could have been. She has started to flower 7 to 8 weeks to go.

6/10/2024 the fades coming in nicely. I probably could have pushed her with nutes for a couple weeks and possibly gotten her to thicken up a bit. But she is pretty thick as is. She's going through water quick and I keep forgetting and so she's finishing a bit quicker I think. I may chop soon but this plant is probably a 90 day strain. I feel like most autos can fall into that range 6/15/24 she was cut. I will add a harvest week soon.

Now that I see how these girls turned out it was probably a blessing I had some herms to cut out because there would’ve been no room. Especially in the pc/ssh tent because Pcrit and Sundae Driver were looking to be the biggest plants before I found balls and cut them down. The humidity has been surprisingly high but we’ve had warmer, wet weather for this time of year. I’m not sure I would’ve been able to keep it down with a tent packed wall to wall. I’m just thankful for how everything has worked out. If I ever do two plants per earthbound again I’ll make sure to veg for less time. I’m hoping to give these girls another week but the weather once again is going to be warm and wet so I will probably need to cut them down

Esta semana más de lo mismo aunque aún no ha terminado...jeje, le tuve que quitar el poso de café xq se le puso una pelusilla un tanto sospechosa(y mejor prevenir que curar ☝️)voy a hacerle un té de hummus, al volver el último fin de semana la he visto con los colores ligeramente más claros en algunas hojas(no sé si falta de nitrógeno o si es un problema de Ph)🤔, estoy planteandome poner mas luz y poner ventilación,🧐 al final de esta semana además quizá empiece a oler a ortiga en la habitación (ojalá 🎃☝️🕺) 🙌👌Quiero que crezca como la levadura!!!!🌵😋

Ich habe mich heute entschieden zu Ernten. Sie hängt jetzt zum Trocknen und stinkt typisch Runtz würde ich sagen 👍🏻

day 70 was harvest day !! really fast strain, 24h light ON really played a big role as well frosty buds and amazing strawberry smell, now lets dry it !!

WEEK 13 - FLOWERING: Late Flowering Phase ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS The Monster Maker has officially entered Week 9 of flower. The plant is in the middle of a perfect final "fade," with leaves turning deep purple and yellow as she exhausts her internal nutrient stores. Resin production is at its absolute peak—the buds are rock hard and completely over-wintered with milky trichomes. We are seeing the first few amber heads appearing, signaling that harvest is just around the corner. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The aroma remains incredibly potent. The dominant scent is a sweet, ripe tangerine, which is layered over a heavy, earthy, and slightly spicy base. It’s a very complex profile that has only become more refined during this final week. ​🌡️ ENVIRONMENT & VPD Conditions are being kept stable for the finish. Current readings show 24.8°C and 46% humidity, which keeps the VPD at a solid 1.65 kPa. This environment ensures the resin stays fresh and the dense buds remain safe from any moisture issues during the final days. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING The flush is in full swing! I started using only plain, pH-regulated water on Thursday (2nd April). She is reacting perfectly to the water-only diet, pushing out the last of her resin while cleaning out all residual nutrients for a superior taste and clean burn. ​Current Feeding: Pure Water Only (Flush in progress since April 2nd) ~~ Citric acid (1.2 ml/l) ~~ ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE Week 13 (Flower Week 9). We are watching a masterpiece finish. The trichome coverage is insane, and the fruity-meets-earthy scent is a dream. I am monitoring the amber count daily now. We are looking for that perfect window to chop within the next 7-10 days. The excitement is real!

Hello fellow growers. Here we go for another journey, going to reach Mars 😎 The room is fully equipped with 6 x Mars Hydro FC6500. The FC6500 is equipped with 2688 LEDs for an input power of 650 and a footprint of 180x180 cm. Sunlike Full Spectrum- warm white and red chips. Boom Yield increasing Crop Quality. High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w. No fan design, no noise-A whole layer of the aluminum heatsink achieving optimal heat dissipation. Removable driver and 2m extension cord helps lower the growing room temperature. IP65 waterproof ratings-worry free in high humidity growing environment. And is actually the best quality price on the market. The light brightness is so intense that a ninja can’t find any shadow to hide. Look under the stool on the video and the pictures. This is why you can get 2.5g/w. The plants grows heavy nuggs even on the bottom part, getting a third layer of buds. __________________________________________ Barney’s Farm has some new seeds packaging. Much easier to get the seeds out and very well sealed. You can even use it as a rolling tray. Each batch of seeds is numbered, which is a good indicator for seriousness. Barney’s Farm has one of the most beautiful seeds menu, any strains can be chosen blindly and is a fine connoisseur choice. __________________________________________ I will be using Cellmax BIO soil and BIO nutrients. When you got the best sauce, don’t change the recipe, particularly when it works very well and helps to increase a yield using organic nutrients. __________________________________________ In this diary I will add my personal notes, from my personal diary, in the bottom of the comments. If it can help any beginner to match the formulas with the comment to understand the wizardry behind the spells. Stay tuned, germination is launched 🚀

Plants look healthy, except for a few older leaves, which appear to have some issues. Added big bud this week, lots of bud sights on each plant.
