Bloom is approaching for this one, this week I’m going to focus on getting her well fed before flipping to 12/12 , before I’ll very likely grab a clone or two

🇩🇪 Wochenkommentar – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 Die beiden Mentha de Croco Ladies legen diese Woche richtig schön los! Mit ca. 30 cm Höhe zeigen sie ein kompaktes, buschiges Wachstum und wirken rundum topfit 💪🌿 Das Blattwerk ist sattgrün, dicht und absolut gesund – keine Mängel, keine Schädlinge in Sicht 👀✨ Tagsüber dürfen sie draußen Sonne tanken ☀️🌬️, was ihnen sichtlich gut bekommt. Die natürliche Umgebung sorgt für kräftigere Strukturen und stabile Entwicklung – keine Stressanzeichen, nur pure Vitalität 🚀 Insgesamt: super robuster Zustand, sauberes Wachstum und ordentlich Power im System 🔋🌱 Wenn das so weitergeht, kannst du dich bald auf noch mehr Verzweigung und richtig buschige Pflanzen freuen 🌳🔥 --- 🇬🇧 Weekly Comment – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 The two Mentha de Croco ladies are really taking off this week! At around 30 cm tall, they show compact, bushy growth and look incredibly healthy 💪🌿 Foliage is lush green, dense, and spotless – no deficiencies, no pests in sight 👀✨ They’re spending their days outside soaking up the sun ☀️🌬️, which clearly benefits them. The natural conditions help build stronger structure and resilience – zero stress, just pure vitality 🚀 Overall: very robust plants, clean growth, and lots of energy in the system 🔋🌱 If they keep this pace, expect even more branching and a nice bushy structure in the coming weeks

D57 F13 - The week is off to a good start. This lady continues to bush out AND stretch at the same time! I started doing some minimal HST - just to try to keep her going as much "out" as possible, as opposed to "up." D59 F15 - Feeding every other day was just not cutting it anymore, therefore, I started feeding daily this week. There are two other plants in the tent besides this 707 Headband, one Sour Diesel and one Zkittles. So, I'm currently mixing up 12 gal. of nutes in a batch, feeding 6 gal every day - 2 gal/day per plant. Check out the ladies getting fed in the video I included above ;-) Also, I took several pics today; some of those pretty buds getting of to a good start.

10 weeks total for the first phenos and a bit more than 11 for the last one! I could have easily gotten double the projected yield on these had I not neglected them but whatever I pulled is rock hard, dusted in sugar and smells absolutely stupendous! You did it again FastBuds!

6/28 Week 10 and she is looking fantastic Flush continues, nothing special just one gallon of h20 twice a day. Looking at at least 3 days as tricones still at less than 100% white (@80%) Deficiencies not bad yet, still building some bud 6/29 Looking well, just a bit of CA/MG def showing. Still building Some lights out pics to show off the buds and trics **** We have determined that best practice on coco DTW is to add a low dose of Cal-Mag once a week when in final container. This will satisfy the cation sites as the coco breaks down and avoid mystery CA deficiencies allowing the CocoTek to do its work. 6/30 Just some Bud Pics 7/2 HARVEST DAY TOMORROW!

The plant continued progressing through early flowering with the stretch still clearly active 🌸 Vertical growth increased further and the plant gained noticeable height throughout the week. • Height approx. ~80 cm • Stretch still ongoing • Canopy mostly even Light intensity was increased to ~850 PPFD and the fixture had to be raised slightly as the plant grew closer to the light. Leaf posture shows light praying, indicating the plant is handling the increased intensity well. Water demand increased slightly during the stretch phase: • ~3.5L every 2–3 days based on pot weight 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x Orgatrex • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Environment: • 25°C temperature • ~55% RH 🌡️ Bud sites are now becoming clearly visible across the canopy 🌿 Early flower formation has started, although buds are still small at this stage. Aroma remains very mild for now. Overall this week shows strong stretch, healthy development and the clear transition deeper into early flowering 🍩🔥

Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. Buds are looking cool and remind me of little pine trees. At first glance it seems like they are starting to foxtail but the buds are fattening once the new growth on top starts to expand more. the main colas are almost a foot long each, but hard to tell because the planetary buds around the main colas are blocking them from getting a good picture. Amazed by how frosty the sugar leaves and even some of the older fan leaves are. Her smells are mostly sweet and candy-like. got a little sneek peak of what her fade should look like from one of the leaves being severed partially with a nice yellow and purple. She put on a decent amount of weight this week but towards the end,I can tell she's starting to slow down. Looks like it will still bulk a little more but noticing fewer white and more orange hairs. hoping all my plants finish around 8-9 weeks. i want to try to harvest them all at the same time if i can.

First time growing so this week went well i'd say. Everything seems to be on time and looking well so we will see how the further weeks play out. Very excited to see the progress.

Week 7 Flower- Day 51 flw / Day 107 of cycle Black gum is my little favorite I would say 😅 She is smelling really good, kind of strawberry bubblegum in the end.. it’s a pitty it did not grow much. I started feeding only water this week and I believe she is gonna go 2 more weeks till haverst. Let’s gooo 🔥🔥🔥

Hello, lovely people. Today is the last day of the fifth week. They started flowering in the last few days, and we can already see the buds developing. I trained them a bit more; they’re turning into little monsters and taking up too much space in my small tent. Since they’re getting tall, I decided to do some lollipopping, removing the small buds growing very low down and taking off some leaves that don’t receive much light. Overall, everything looks good. I can’t see any problematic leaves, which is probably the first time this has happened to me. Let’s hope it continues this way.

What a plant. Looks awesome, smells super interesting!

Reporte de Gestión Fisiológica y Metabolómica: White Kush Feminizada Fotoperiodica de Mexicanas Seeds Company. Octava semana (Flush & Limpieza Redox) ​La unidad biológica ha entrado formalmente en su fase de cierre. Se ha inducido la transición hacia la madurez senescente mediante la degradación controlada de la clorofila en las hojas de abanico, garantizando la translocación de carbohidratos hacia las estructuras florales. La densidad de tricomas glandulares y la oxidación de los estigmas confirman que el metabolismo secundario ha completado la síntesis de cannabinoides y se encuentra en la fase de estabilización de terpenos. ​I. Estrategia de Lixiviación (Flush) y Homeostasis Celular ​Se ejecuta el protocolo de remoción de sales acumuladas en el sustrato y en el espacio intersticial del tejido para optimizar las propiedades organolépticas finales. La solución de lavado se compone de: ​Ácido Ascórbico : 250ppm(0.25g/L. Actúa como neutralizador de ROS (Especies Reactivas de Oxígeno) y proporciona fotoprotección al aparato fotosintético remanente. ​Ácido Cítrico : 100 ppm vía radicular. Se utiliza para la quelatación de sales precipitadas (Sulfatos/Carbonatos), facilitando su drenaje definitivo. ​Silicatode potasio: Empleado exclusivamente como dosis de amortiguación (Buffer) para estabilizar el pH frente a la acidez de los ácidos orgánicos, evitando el uso de hidróxidos de potasio. ​Saponinas: 0.1gr/L. Reduce la tensión superficial para asegurar una rehidratación uniforme del sustrato. ​Polisacáridos: 0.15ml/L. Suministra los esqueletos de carbono necesarios para mantener la presión osmótica celular en ausencia de N-P-K. ​II. Dinámica Nutricional y Balance Iónico ​El aporte de macronutrientes se ha reducido a 0ppm nominales. Esta privación fuerza a la planta a metabolizar sus reservas internas de Nitrógeno residual, lo que reduce la dureza del humo y previene la formación de compuestos amoniacales volátiles durante el proceso de curado. ​pH de Solución: 6.06.2. ​EC de Entrada: 0.2 mS/cm ​Potencial Osmótico: El uso de polisacáridos previene la plasmólisis ante el lavado de sales. ​III. ​Protección Redox: El Ácido Ascórbico se mantiene como cofactor en la ruta de las xantofilas para blindar los pigmentos finales. ​IV. Estado Fenotípico y Diagnóstico ​La estructura floral es compacta, con brácteas hinchadas y una senescencia uniforme que indica una movilización de nutrientes exitosa hacia el ápice. No se detectan bloqueos por acumulación de sales, solo el agotamiento mineral programado. La planta se encuentra lista para el cese de riego 24-48 horas previo al corte.

Week 7 of flowering 10/30/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 7 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Last week PH drop happened again a couple of days after the major flush. PH in rootzone is getting lower every day. Runoff still at 10-20%, so no salt buldup, EC same as intake or litttle higher. Flushed again with FloraKleen and watered with TriPart Micro, Grow, Bloom with CalMag. Bought Potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate as suggested by "Aqua Man", to buffer coco in the future. (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/ph-dropping-from-5-8-to-3-9-overnight-what-is-causing-this.87011/post-2329509) changed nutes on 11/2/24, to FinalPart at 1.3 EC. Checking runoff PH and EC daily.

Sorry for the lack of update smartphone fell into the water a new one is coming on monday , you'll all see the amazing view i have in the garden today :)

Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

Saturday 16-11-24 , Flowering day # 53 week 8. Harvest day! Cut branches off plants & hung the 2 front plants off the light. Put scrog net back in with a large flyscreen laying on top, & spread branches from the back plant over it. This allows complete air flow around the buds. Running a single oscillating fan beneath pointing to the bottom. Temperature is around 24°C & RH is 55%

Starting the second week of flowering, first day! And they are beautiful.

Stretching well, these are looking great! I'm hopeful for a good turnout
