🌸 Mentha De Croco – Week 6 Flower | Week 17 from Seed 🌸 Another week deeper into the floral jungle, and the energy is undeniable. Our mutant girls are thriving, loud in their silence, vibrant in their stillness, and unique in every fold and twist of their leaves and buds. This is where the magic thickens. We’re watching the Mentha De Croco mutants bloom into their own stories, each one a visual poem. There’s something new in the air this week: a hint of color surfacing, dancing around the edges. It seems we might be in for a beautiful fade when the finish line arrives. 🌿 Feed & Conditions This Week: We’re still riding the Aptus Holland Clean Program, clean, mineral-based, precise and powerful — tailored to let the girls express without stress. No extra additives, no clutter, just balance and intention. Recipe: • pH: 6.2 • EC: 1.77 • Water Temp: 19.6°C ✴️ System Clean, Regulator, RO Water Conditioner, All-in-One Liquid, Plus K-Boost, when they’re dancing this well, we don’t interrupt the music. They are clearly loving it — lush, responsive, and expressive. 💭 Looking Ahead: We’re likely heading into the flush window soon. At the rate they’re maturing, next week may be a water-only week, giving them space to metabolize what’s left in the medium and letting their colors and terps shine through without resistance. That slow, careful wind-down is how we preserve their true essence. 📸 Visual Notes: This week’s images capture the strange elegance of these mutant phenotypes — structure, tones, and forms that defy expectation. If beauty had no standard, this would be the definition. Some are starting to show color shifts — possibly hints of purple, red, or golden notes to come? We’ll see… but the show is already spectacular. ⸻ 💚 Eternal Gratitude & Community Vibes: 🌱 @terpyz_genetics – for unlocking the mutant code and redefining diversity in cannabis 🌱 @aptus_holland – for clean mineral precision that lets plants speak their truth 🌱 @trolmaster.eu – for the tech that keeps the harmony intact 🌱 @futureofgrow – for lights that don’t just shine, but inspire 🌱 And of course, the GrowDiaries platform, our beautiful mutant-loving community, the growers, the dreamers, the learners, the doubters, the lovers, the haters — this story belongs to all of us. ⸻ Sometimes the strange is sacred. Sometimes the freak is the flower. And here, in this garden — they are both. 🌱💫 #MenthaDeCroco #MutantGenetics #Week6Flower #AptusHolland #TerpyzGenetics #Trolmaster #FutureOfGrow #GrowDiariesUpdate #MutantGarden #PhenotypeHunting #GrowersLove #MutantsInBloom Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.

09/18/2021 At battle with catapillar this week Hand picking them off, some bud rot caused by catapillar's . Light defoiliating dying, yellowing leaves. Hand picking is tedious but well worth the effort. Feeding neptunes harvest 2-3-1 this is last week of feeding. Drinking lots of water this week gave each plant 2.0 gallons of Neptunes Harvest 2-3-1 hope it works out couldn't find fox farms, or big buds but I'm sure they will be fine.....will feed again on Friday then plain water for 3-4 weeks till harvest. Feeding should get them through the next two weeks then watering plain water should flush anything not needed by plants. Girls are thirsty this week, just in time for feeding! Neptunes Harvest seems to do the trick. Pistils piling on like crazy so one more feeding on Friday Of 2-3-1 and Week 7-8 banana peel tea, she should start Fattening up,and fading nicely by week 8-9.🙏🏻 The NPK value for banana skins is 0.6-0.4-11.5. But this is the value for dried banana skins. (I will make tea from peels) not sure of N-P-K Is for peel tea? But it works well in my opinion. Day # 6 week 6 applied gypsum today gypsum should help a little with PH issues,7.0 a little to alkaline but she will grow, but she thrive at 6.2 PH

She’s onto flower. Showing Pistols 48 hours after the flip to an 11 on 13 off light schedule. She is doing great and is the biggest of the three in the tent. As she’s a true Sativa I added the first layer of trellis netting in anticipation of her stretch. 8-9 weeks of flower ahead for this girl.

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

Day 29 Growth is very rapid, the plant has become a nice ball shrub from the leaf tucking and training DWC will get changed tomorrow, she is drinking alot, maybe 2L a day PH nailed at 6.0, ppms start at 700 and go as low as 500 when about to change the pool I will be careful with water temperature. It is very cold here already up in the mountains Day 30 Growth is very nice. The DWC change went very well, and the plant is still loving the above nutrient mix. Remember to mix properly! Micro first, and really stir it in, then your others, stir them in very well, followed by your powder solution, stir it in very well, usually for 2-3 minutes in the bucket or 10L bottle. I like the shape of the plant Ive trained with basic leaf tucking and defoliation PH is solid steady at 6.0, yellow colour on the test Day 31 Growth is extreme in every direction. all limbs are growing upward and outward Still determining which training methods I will use for this one Just leaf tucking now for the shape to form Day 32 added 3L to the DWC, she is consuming nutrients really well... going in its ~680 ppm, testing 18 hours later, 400ppm this is a very hungry plant! still leaf tucking the main fan leafs for the branches to grow upward, is working very well defoliated the under side of the plant, removed all 1st and 2nd limb node leafs and branches, they will only runt out and grow larf in the long run. Day 33 Extreme growth after defoliation, added 2.5 Litres to the DWC, the plant is drinking 2-2.5 litres a day uploaded video of the setup and plant Day 34 Growing very well, expanding everywhere. I added 2 litres to the DWC. Day 35 Growing well, performed some light LST on the lower limbs to expand a bit Added 3 Litres to the DWC, this plant eats alot of nutrients

Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients! 95% dry, and ready for another dose in 5-7 days! I removed both branches, in the second node position on the trunk, and LST'd her down in the direction of the removed-downward-node. She has 5 remaining nodes, that will be trained out, away from each-other. All nodes are receiving equal, full light.

As you can see, LST works well, Gorilla Strawberry tolerates LST very well, in almost all plants I managed to keep the branches at the same height I made a minor defoliation of large leaves. The rest I slide under the twigs every day so that they do not make a shadow. Due to a high wind that lasted 2 days and LST one of my Gorilla Strawberry broke in half and holds on about 20% of the stem. I was thinking about trying the method HST and I will remove the cracked part of the plant, but I did not have the heart to cut it off, so I decided to use the patch that I carry with me in the first aid kit if I cut myself. From two twigs and a patch I made a primitive splint. The next day I took an insulating tape with me into the forest and once again wrapped the splint for better strength. And as you can see, the plant lives and thrives :) Next, I want to show you the pest Leaf Minner, which makes tunnels in the leaves and then pupates on the underside of the leaf I tear off the leaf or crush the pest Next, I would like to show you a very useful beetle, a ladybug that eats, for example, aphids, in the photo you see a pupated ladybug larva, do not kill it !!!

18/12/2020 По листьям стало заметно, что пришла осень) Скоро харвест. Т.к. на улице стало теплее, перевел таймер на 12/12 на последние 4-5 дней. На 5-6 сутки отключим свет совсем. 22/12/2020 Отрубил свет. Завтра будем рубить ёлку, но перед этим - фотосессия на конкурс =)

I had to top a few of these because they were hanging so far out, making lots of new space for bud sites I really like to bush/stretch out my plants making as many colas for flowers. Im seeing small pistils popping out here and there.

Day 32 - Heater was blowing directly on a couple of the leaves that turned brown. Cut them off. Raised lights up again. I think my development is a little slower than others but I have had a lot of trial and error. Day 33 - added tomato rack for LST. growing nicely. Day 34 - Stopped nutes as I was getting a little leaf burn in lower leaves. Looks good otherwise. Lights are dialed in. Day 35.- This is what too much light looks like. Day 37 - Switched to the grow light. Moved the heater. Growing nicely. Day 38 - Lights dialed in REDUCED water. Stopped watering for 2 days. Day 39 - Full Lights on now. Put more holes in the pot. Draining nicely now.

22cm vertical growth this week!! Now 62cm tall She's very bushy. I tried some stuff this week, bent over some branches etc, trimmed off all leaves on the main stem and some from the lower branches. I don't usually defoliate this early or this intense, but but sites were being blocked from the light, so they had to go. lets keep an eye on the results (if any) of that over the next few weeks.
