🌸 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.

So I’m trying to work that out Also started LST this week

the move did not go so smoothly. the plants stood in the cold car without light for eternity. when i unpacked them the leaves were hanging down and the leaves had brown spots in some places. after i watered them and left them alone they gradually recovered. other than that, I think they look pretty good

Week 8 November 13 -another week and we have flipped to flower about 5 days ago no sign of pistils but the bud sites are starting to lighten up in color -got some nutrient water on some of the leaves last watering so that’s not good -also top watered to get the bloom nutrients to break down for the coming weeks -also rigged this card board cut out to keep the top soil dry so the amendments stay moist enough to break down as I bottom water all the established plants

I didn't get to this until midweek. Humidity was higher than I like and soil moisture was low. Rotated this plant 90 degrees clockwise to ensure even light. Added 36 oz of water on top of what the drippers are delivering. Drippers were also moved 90 degrees to ensure even soil moisture. Humidity was lowered to 45%. Starting flush this week. Began with pH'ed water only in the dripper. Will be adding water only with no nutrients for the rest of the week. Pistils are about 50% brown and the trichomes are getting cloudy. Buds are looking good. This plant still has about a week until harvest. By the end of the week the buds are filled out. The pistils have mostly turned brown. The trichomes are clear, milky, AND amber... in the same view. Many shots are both clear and amber. I want a more active high so this plant is coming down next week. I think it is ready. It is very confusing seeing so many clear and amber trichomes on the same bud.

This is really the day when I am cutting the plants down. I don't want to fill out the harvest section until I have all the info needed to do it. I find the way it is set up on here to be kind of silly... Today is day 95 since these girls popped and stuck their heads out of the soil. I'm blown away with the size of these plants considering their age. I'm going to contribute the majority of this success to the CO2 gas I use. I filled out my tank 4 times for a total of 100 dollars .. the 4th tank I bought is still full and I'll be able to use it on my next grow. These buds and colas are extremely dense and packed with resin. They are giving off a really deep and complex smell. Kind of like a fruity earth mixed with skunk. I plan on drying at temperatures between 62 and 68 deg. fahrenheit with humidity about 55%. Once the smaller branches snap completely and the buds don't come off 'stringy' then I will move on to the next step of curing. For this I use Grove bags and boveda humidity packs (62% RH). I'm expecting at least 8 oz off of each plant and I do intend to press some with my resin press

What can i say, a fantastic plant, responding well to this organic grow with no hiccup so far. This week i tied down the lower branches using LST method and also tucked in (not removed) some leaves that where blocking good bud sites Thinking i might apply a Scrog in the next week or two for added support. Again watering when needed, 2L every second day or so.

I’m so excited to show you guys week 3. These plants are huge!!! Even though I’m watching them grow right before my eyes I’m still shock as to how big they are. I browsed through other growers diaries that’s growing the same strains as me and I haven’t came across none as big as mines. The plants are responding well to their nutrients and TLC from me. I was planning to scrog this grow but I’m curious to see how big these autos are going to get so I’m going to just let them ride it out. Make sure to follow my diary for your weekly updates and give a like if you like the grow. Peace Love & Guidance #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

Day 69 Flowering : Well we have seen the Glueberry finish and dried and the Mimosa Lemon is still pushing new pistils out !. I don't think she wants to finish just yet . She must have sensed my dissapointment at the bud structure and this week has kicked a second pistil flush all over. He colours are looking very nice now as she matures the older buds too. She is so strong smelling now too . a very strong lemon indicates a potency for a heady smoke. Her actual size is still huge and she has needed canes to keep her upright as she is everywhere and her skinny arms can't hold the weight properly. I think she will be at least another week and possibly 2 but we will see soon enough. Be safe and well growmies.

Surf Purp Week 6 Flower The last week before flush. All nutrients apart from PK and sugars have been stopped. This brought the ppm/EC down, plus Remo Bloom was reduced slightly now they're not so hungry. With that being said I'm still using a lot more with this line than I'm used to. Only because the remo nutrients feeding chart lists them so strong, which I'm already a lot lower than. In future I'll try reducing them and see how they cope and perform, but that's just part of dialing it in to your own specific set up. Now that they're close to flush they're starting to get slightly more pale, with #2 and #4 showing some purpling too. This is because they are slowly coming to the end of their cycle, so they no longer need heavy feedings and are now eating less and beginning to cannibilise. They're all very frosty and giving off an insane amount of smell. At this point I'm more or less certain that #4 is a keeper, with the most unique terpene profile out of the 4 females. It smells like rotting candy/fruit with a lot of gas ⛽ it's also a close call between #1&2, as they're very similar to each other yet so different to #4. These two have the sweetest, most pungent smell of blueberries but with very slight differences between them that could change more throughout flush (and even after drying and curing). The keeper from these two will more than likely be decided after drying and curing. One or two of the main cola's on #4 are way too close to the light, with one top bud showing clear signs of burning. When you look closely, parts of the burns are brown as you would expect, and others are bleached white. These are both from heat and light damage, and aren't ideal. But, it's only the one bud on one plant so I'm not going to stress over it. In fact, she's smelling that incredible that you wouldn't even know! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🦊

This was a great grow under the Unit Farm UF2000 light. Was a great yield for 100 watt light. Thank you again UNITFARMLED_justin. There will be more Unit Farm grows in the future. I will be conducting a photoperiod grow with a UF4000, and the UF2000 in my photoperiods room once my current grow is completed. The flower is very tasty, and potent as it has been in past. Thanks again grow diaries community for the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. I greatly appreciate the support. Happy growing, and be safe out there 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Ps I named this girl Gretchen, she has a sister plant named Ingrid for those who know where Ingrid is. 🤣🤣🤣
