unfortunately we noticed some budrod in the headbud. we cut it generously sb, unfortunately the papaya cookies still need something and the weather is now autumnal cold and rainy. We'll see in 7 days at the latest, but hopefully there won't be any more budrod by then... It's the most beautiful of all the outdoor plants so far.

4 weeks flower and half way done now! i took off some leafs that where touching buds to prevent mold, beside that pretty much straight up watering and waiting she looks a little diffrent on some of the pics because of the light i used, hope you dont mind the better lighting and some other perspectives to look at her 😏 day 3 - yesterday i chopped up a banana and put it into boiling water and let it sit for about 8 hours. now i use the extract as fertilizer just because i want to try it out for my next grow, the amnesia haze wich will be outdoors on the balcony. I use 400ml tab water for 100ml of the banana extract to feed her just for once now. maybe if she likes it i give her a little more. i think it might be a great natural addition to the organic fertilizer i am useing

This was a beautiful week. Massive THC production my trichromes are covering the white widow plant in crystals. Its an icy plant with its sunscreen on. Looking absolutely gorgeous. I finished defoliation. Removed most all of the fan leaves so the plants can focus on bud production and amp up those clusters. The blueberry plant is starting to fruit up as well. It will end up going an extra week so its production is right on point. The white widow plant is just some crazy good genetics. Of my 7 new nursery plants the two white widows that I have are head and shoulders above the rest of the plants. I am excited to see what the 12/12 from seed does for them with our new super soil setup. The plants have received their full doses of flower food and flower finisher. They are going to ride out the week on just water because they started to burn with the influx of the flower finisher. It seems to absorb more potently than the regular flower food does. I will does the plants some of the flower finisher food about halfway through the next week so as not to burn the plants. After that we will flush the soil with just water for the remainder of the grow so as not to have any extra nutrients flooding the plant before harvest.

Week 6 - The Purple Power Is No Longer The Tallest In The Forest But It’s Still The Prettiest. The Purple Power Has Been Dethroned By 4 Of The Other Plants. Everyone Except For The Gorilla Glue Is On Bloom Nutrients. Height: Gorilla Glue: 19 Inches Purple Power: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies(3gal): 30 inches Lemon OG: 34 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies(5gal): 34 1/2 inches Stardawg: 33 1/2 inches These Plants Are All Correct Measurements Size May Look Different In Picture Because Of Pot Size.

04/23: changements de box direction la box 12/12 pour démarrer la flo. Dans les meilleurs conditions. L'apple Fritter est très élégante comme vario. D'un vert presque pastel un régale pour les yeux. 04/26: je doit dire que cette vario. Est magnifique je vais surement la cloner avant que la preflo soit finie. UN GRAND MERCI.

Dialing in the feed on this second run made a huge difference. Also enjoying the benefits of a clone run with better bud shape/size consistency.

Thank you. Gave her a cocktail to help with stress. Added 1st net for lateral support, not so much now, but for later. Blue light is absorbed by photoreceptor proteins called phototropins, which trigger a hormonal response that causes cells on the shaded side to elongate, making the plant bend toward the light. Try and fill this side a little. She is quite big already, just needs to find her stride again after the undue torture. The mind is constantly working and producing, just like a factory. It's not just a passive recipient of information but an active producer of ideas, attitudes, and beliefs. The "ingredients" in this factory are the information you consume, such as books, conversations, and the media you engage with. The "products" are your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The quality of the ingredients directly influences the quality of the output. To guard the door of your mind means to be selective about what you allow in. It involves actively choosing to consume positive and constructive information while filtering out negativity and harmful influences. If you don't guard your mind, others can "dump" whatever they want into it, leading to undesirable results in your life. You must take responsibility for the inputs to ensure you produce the outcomes you desire. 5 apex stems with 20-30 mini cola, let them develop a little, with the apical dominance shattered, all those 20-30 will all compete with each other as soon as that stretch is initiated. Key to a good stretch is making sure the plant is cycling efficiently, with large ATP conversions occurring lights out. For now, I'm keeping light intensity high. A plant will slow its vertical growth in very high light intensities, leading to a more compact form with thicker stems and leaves. This response is a protective mechanism against light stress, which can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and lead to symptoms like leaf scorching, yellowing, and brittleness. Instead of growing taller, the plant invests its energy into creating a more robust, stress-tolerant structure. Providing plants with necessary antioxidants helps protect the photosynthetic apparatus by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage from excess light. UV light exposure can impact the xanthophyll cycle by either enhancing its photoprotective role or causing damage, depending on the intensity and type of UV radiation. UV exposure can trigger the synthesis of more xanthophyll cycle pigments to increase the plant's capacity to dissipate excess energy, but it can also cause direct damage, particularly to Photosystem II, and may lead to a decrease in the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) which indicates a reduced capacity to dissipate excess energy. Plants can respond to UV stress by increasing the synthesis of xanthophyll cycle pigments, such as violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, to improve their photoprotective capacity. UV-induced changes in xanthophyll cycle pigments can be linked to a plant's overall tolerance to high radiation stress. The xanthophyll cycle helps protect against photoinhibition, which is especially important when the plant is exposed to high levels of both UV and visible light. High doses of UV radiation can directly damage photosynthetic components, including the proteins, lipids, and pigments in the thylakoid membranes. Exposure to UV radiation can have a mixed effect on the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. In some cases, UV can inhibit the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, resulting in a lower DEPS ratio and a reduced capacity for energy dissipation. However, the total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments may increase, and this enhanced pool size could provide a greater potential for photoprotection despite a lower DEPS ratio. The xanthophyll cycle works alongside other mechanisms, such as the accumulation of flavonoids (UV screens), to protect the plant from UV-induced damage. Blue light repairs 100% UV-induced damage in plants through a process called photoreactivation, which uses a light-dependent enzyme called photolyase. This enzyme uses energy from blue and UV-A light to directly reverse the damaging pyrimidine dimers in the DNA caused by UV-B radiation, a key mechanism for maintaining the plant's genetic integrity. After carbon, light, water, temperature, and nutrients, the limiting factor of a plant's growth is often its own internal factors or the amount of a key ingredient. Chlorophyll concentration is one such factor, as the amount of this pigment limits how much light can be captured for photosynthesis. Other factors include chloroplast number, respiration rate, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as plants are often in a CO2-deficient condition. 60x60x18=64800seconds x 700 = 45,360,000moles. 45DLI Exposure to 165 µW/cm² of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light for 3600 seconds = 1 hour, a extremely high, acute dose triggering stress responses and protective mechanisms. . The plant's photoreceptor protein, UVR8, senses the UV-B radiation. This triggers a signaling cascade that activates specific genes to protect the plant from damage. In response to the UV-B signal, the plant ramps up the biosynthesis of protective compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds absorb UV radiation and accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves to shield inner photosynthetic tissues. The plant may increase leaf thickness or deposit more cuticular wax, creating a physical barrier to the radiation. The plant will produce more enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to neutralize the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the UV-B radiation. The plant activates enzymes, including photolyases, to repair DNA damage caused by the UV-B. These repair mechanisms are critical for preventing permanent genetic mutations. While protective measures are activated, a high dose delivered over a short period can cause stress that overwhelms the plant's defenses. Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to UV-B. A high dose can inactivate Photosystem II (PSII), damage thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, and reduce chlorophyll content, which lowers the plant's overall photosynthetic capacity. Despite repair mechanisms, high UV-B doses can inflict persistent damage on the plant's DNA. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, leading to the oxidation of lipids and proteins and disrupting cellular function. I am playing in the enchanted forest.

10/5/24 Flowering Day 65 Allover day 113 Trichomes mostly cloudy milky i will give her some more days until harvest. Leafs turn pretty nice colors. No more nutrients given except some water if needed. 10/7/24 Potential Bud Rot check passed Since some leafs dry out the last days i wanted to be sure that the lady is doing well on the last couple of days.

7/7 The plant looks really great, I think it's thanks to Aptus. 10/7 the flowers seem bigger and bigger, I can't wait to see what I'll be able to get out

Things are started to get some size to the buds. I upped the nutes PPM this week to 1050. The durban clearly has awhile longer to go while the green crack looks like it might be done sooner then later. I'm debating giving green crack it's first overdrive feeding next week.. we will see how the buds are looking then.. I used to feed a week earlier then I should have so I'm trying not to get too ancy with it yet. Both look great.. some slight light burn so the light went from 100% to 80%... just put up to 90% to see how it reacts.. if any issue I'll go back to 80%.. that might be the most it can handle at 18 inches at this point. Gave a heavy defoliation to both plants tonight after nutrient freeding. I defoliated more of the top leaves to expose more bud sites. Then I defoliated the bottom buds sites that I know won't amount to anything and the twig branches coming from the bottom that don't get any light neither. Took 3 hours to get it all accomplished.. forgot to take before and after pics but both plants were monsters.. not much light could really get thru the top canopy Now light gets thru the entire plant so the lower buds are exposed to light and better air flow for sure. My final defoliation will be 1.5 weeks before harvest.. pretty much at the point I start to consider beginning my flush. That way it will fatten up the buds and help finish the buds that haven't been getting much light. Excited to see the final results.. this my first time really doing a heavy defoliation throughout a plants entire life cycle. It defintely helps final yield if done correctly from what I've seen. I figured I'd give it a try and see how it goes.. so far I'm satisfied with the results.

I'm getting a little discoloration on the leaf edge. We got some rain the night of day 2. Then a heavy dew early day 3. Night 4 and day 5 we got heavy rain and thunderstorms. Day 6 was overcast and very humid. Day 7 was lots of rain. This girls handling the wet feet pretty good. She's growing slow but that could be contributed to the cool nights and days. Overall she's doing well and the week was good.

This week was emotionally tough. The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake hasn’t handled the transition well. Her color shifted to a dull, washed-out tone, the posture weakened, and the overall metabolism seems depressed. The stress accumulated during late veg is still showing: nutrient fluctuations, environmental instability, and then the photoperiod flip pushed her over the edge. She simply didn’t bounce back. At this stage, expectations for yield have to be revised downward. This run won’t deliver what the early training and maintenance work could have produced. Still, the plan is to take the plant to harvest rather than abandoning the cycle. Even a weak yield will provide useful feedback about stress management during pre-flower. The priority now is stability: hold EC steady, avoid aggressive feedings, monitor pH drift daily, and maintain a gentle VPD to reduce transpiration stress. No interventions this week other than observation and minor parameter corrections. The goal is to see whether she stabilizes or declines further. Next update in one week.

Not much to do now but watch the pH and PPM and wait. It looks beautiful. The growing structure of the buds is really interesting, it has like four calyxes with pistils coming out of the top of a lot of buds in a really distinctive way. It's super, super frosty too. The GG#4 genetics are already showing. Interesting smell, hard to describe. Still relatively mild, at least in the grow tent with the filter running. There's some burning on the leaves, yellowing at the edges. I think I got a bit complacent about checking on it this week since it's been so easy. I also think I should have pruned some of the smaller branches, even just for my own enjoyment of the aesthetics on top of the benefits for airflow and nutrient use. I'll probably do that this week. Then 2 weeks to harvest! I'm impressed with this strain so far, as well as very impressed with the DWC method VS soil or coco but still have a soft spot for organic soil. If I can find a veganic hydroponic nutrient mix I'll be stoked.

🚀 Week 7 Overall | Flower Week 2: The Great Stretch & Soil Struggles 🌿 What’s up growmies! We’ve officially moved into Week 7 overall, which marks the second week of flowering. The girls have absolutely exploded! That Week 2 stretch is in full effect and it’s beautiful to see. Because of the crazy growth, I had to step in with some light defoliation and a "mini" lollipopping from the bottom. I want to make sure the strongest branches have enough energy to reach for the sky. Once the stretch is over and they stop growing taller, I’ll do one final heavy defoliation and a proper lollipopping, but for now, this was definitely necessary. The Struggle: I’m still dealing with the yellowing of new leaves. Since I’m running a no-chem, low-feed organic setup, "nutrient burn" is highly unlikely. I’m starting to lean towards the fact that I messed up my living soil mix and it’s lacking oxygen. The Fix: I decided to drill some extra holes into my old pots to get better aeration into the root zone. Lesson learned: for the next run, I’m definitely upgrading to a proper living soil bed! 🛏️ I honestly hate this kind of stress during a grow. I’m just crossing my fingers that the plants finish strong and the root system doesn't get messed up. Stay tuned and happy growing to everyone out there! 🙏💚 One love!

She’s getting frosty and dank 👃🍪🍊🍓🍰🍌🍒🍇🍭👃 Day 29 almost half way , happy with all the phenos so far all frosty so many terps .. started feed the canna nutrients plants canna pk1314 .. 2 flush’s Got the remo plants all most on the proper Ec again

Week 4. Temperature at night drops to 16°C. Purple pop out but no problem . With bigger pot with soil Is root zone more Warmer and much longer keep better temperature then is outside in tent .

🌿 Mentha de Croco – Harvest Report | Week 19 from Seed (End of Week 8 Flower) 🌿 By Terpyz Mutant Genetics And just like that, we close this incredible chapter in our mutant journey. 💚 After 19 weeks from seed, including a long, loving veg phase and a wild 8 weeks of flower, our girls have reached the final moment: Harvest. Each one was chopped with gratitude and admiration, then gently hung to dry, where they will now rest for about two weeks under carefully controlled conditions: 🌡️ 18–20°C 💧 60% RH …A slow, respectful cure to allow all those unique expressions to settle and shine. These plants were peculiar from the start, true mutants, each with her own story, her own twist of leaf, her own rhythm. What they lacked in size or symmetry, they made up for with character, energy, and intense presence. Let’s talk terps: The dominant aroma is deeply chemical, like nail polish, with a gas note that grabs the senses. It’s bold, loud, unapologetically strange, and that’s what makes it so special. This isn’t your everyday garden — this is an experience. No two flowers are alike. The phenotypes are as if sculpted by nature’s abstract brush, perfect in their imperfection, from the shape of the colas to the twist of every leaf. 📸 We’ve shared photos of their final moment standing — each one captured in her full glory before the shears came in. May they live on through memory, resin, and smoke. ⸻ Dry & Cure Notes: They’re hanging now in a dark, clean space, and we’ll aim to maintain the 60/60 rule (60% RH / 18–20°C) for the next 10–14 days before trimming and jarring for cure. Expectations are high. We’re hoping for smooth smoke, complex flavors, and some deep mutant magic in the effects. ⸻ 🌱 Shout-outs to the dream team: @terpyz_mutant_genetics – creators of this beautiful madness 💧 @aptus_holland – for the cleanest mineral recipe in the game 💡 @futureofgrow – lighting the path forward 📊 @trolmaster.agro – keeping every condition dialed in 💚 And always, the Grow Diaries community – friends, followers, lurkers, lovers & haters alike.
