🌸 Mentha de Croco | Week 2 Flower (Week 13 from Seed) Grow Style: Indoor | Medium: Pro-Mix HP | Feed Program: Aptus Holland Clean Program | Genetics: Mentha de Croco by Terpyz Genetics Lighting: FOG LED Black Series | Controller: TrolMaster Photoperiod: 11/13 (Light/Dark) Camera: Sony A6000 capturing all the vibes ⸻ This week marks a major chapter in our Mentha de Croco mutant hunt: the second week of flower — and the official reveal of who’s who in the garden. As expected with regular seeds, we had both males and females, and this was the week we identified them all. From the original 12 beans, 5 revealed themselves as proud ladies while the rest — equally stunning in structure and expression — turned out to be males. 🌿 💚 Let’s talk about regular seeds and plant sex: Regular seeds are unsexed, meaning they can become either male or female. It’s a 50/50 genetic roll of the dice — and with unique mutant genetics like these, identifying sex isn’t always easy early on. Males typically show small pollen sacs, often referred to as “bananas” in their early stage. Females develop pistils, the first hairs of the flowers we’re after. Male plants, while beautiful and structurally fascinating (especially in this mutant project), can compromise a flowering room if left unchecked. Their pollen can fertilize female plants, leading to seeded buds — great if breeding, not great for clean flower. So, we say goodbye, thank them for their beauty, and move forward with the ladies to full bloom. The males? They’ll return to the earth as beautiful compost. 🌱✨ ⸻ This Week’s Feeding Schedule (Aptus Holland Clean Program): • Regulator – Strengthening cell walls and stress resistance • System Clean – Sanitizing the water lines (preventative, even if not in a system) • RO Water Conditioner – Prepping and balancing the base • All-in-One Liquid – Increased dose this week to 1.5 ml/L • Breakout Powder – Boosting early flower development • EC: 1.26 • pH: 6.0 • Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Update: All plants are now under SCROG netting — not because these particular girls needed it, but because they share the space with other cultivars. It’s all about harmony in the garden. The stretch is beginning, and the light intensity has been dialed up to match — PPFD around 800. We’re thrilled to see some early floral development already peeking through. The ladies are loving the new rhythm, and it’s clear they’re ready to shine in this next stage. ⸻ 📸 Captured Moments: This week’s shots include closeups of the male flowers for educational purposes, so the community can see what early male traits look like — especially in complex, mutant-style expressions. All captured with the Sony A6000 under those rich contrasts of dark and light. ⸻ 🙏 Shout Outs & Love: Much love and thanks to the brilliant minds at Terpyz Genetics for the wild beauty of these beans, Aptus Holland for the clean and powerful nutrition, TrolMaster for the precision control, and Future of Grow for the innovation we grow under. And of course — endless gratitude to the Grow Diaries community, the growers, the learners, the lovers and even the haters — it’s all energy, and it all fuels the passion. 💚 📲 Don’t forget to follow the journey on Instagram and YouTube — always sharing the love and the lessons 🌍 Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.

DankieDoodle 📅 Vegetative – Week 3, Days 1–7 ✂️ Topping & Transition Week This week marked an important step in shaping the structure all three girls, Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), were topped cleanly above the 4th node to begin forming their SCROG-ready main frame. All cuts healed fast, and the plants responded perfectly zero stress, vibrant color, and compact, even growth. 💧 Watering & Feeding Day 1: Each plant received 1 L of water, following the regular schedule. Absorption was perfect no runoff, great structure, and a healthy, active root zone. Water Mix: RootJuice — 1 ml/L Biobizz Heaven — 2 ml/L Epsom Salt — 0.15 g/L pH — natural (7.4 tap water) 💡 Environment: Temp: 25 °C RH: 68–70 % PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %) Cycle: 18/6 VPD: ~1.0 kPa 🌿 Midweek (Day 4) All three plants were watered again with 1 L each, using the same nutrient mix. Substrate dried evenly, roots are expanding rapidly, and all three show symmetrical, low-stress growth. 🌞 End of Week (Day 7) By Day 7, the pots were drying out completely after only two days a clear sign of a well-developed root system. The Autopots were activated today to let the plants get used to consistent moisture levels before the next growth stage. 🚀 Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) Note: Between Day 5 and Day 7, she showed explosive vertical growth, pushing herself right into 650 µmol/m²/s PPFD resulting in slight tip burn on the top leaves. Nothing serious, just a light stress mark from her incredible vigor. The light intensity has since been adjusted down to 550 µmol/m²/s for all plants to maintain perfect balance and canopy health. 🌱 Summary: Structure after topping looks perfect four strong mains on each. All three cultivars are balanced, compact, and healthy. Radical Juice shows top-tier growth potential; all plants are ready for the next phase. A clean and productive week steady growth, solid recovery, and the Autopots now active to keep the rhythm flowing. Next step: another topping and the first round of gentle LST to open up the canopy evenly 🌿✨

Week 5: Transplant Time & Root Power! Oh man, this was one of those weeks! We transplanted all five phenos into bigger pots, and let me tell you, they’re thriving! (Check out the complete video episode for all the details 😉). The girls are looking amazing, all pretty much the same size for now, so I don’t have any favorites yet—but let’s see what the future holds! For photos, I used both my Nikon P900 and Sony A6000, with a bunch of lenses and filters to preserve the true colors—these LEDs are powerful! Current Setup & Conditions This week, they’re still chilling with their sisters in the big tent, but in about a week, they’ll be moving into the TrolMaster ecosystem for even better environmental control. Watering: pH 6.06, EC 0.96 Temperature: A bit cold , but it is what it is. We’re facing some freezing outdoor temps (as shown last week in the frosty veggie garden pics!), yet these Runtz are holding strong like true champions. 💪❄️ Nutrition: Still on the Aptus Clean Program, with: Regulator System Clean RO Water Conditioner All-in-One Liquid Root Development: The Real MVP! Let’s go deep on roots! The mycorrhizae in the Pro-Mix soil has been working its magic, and I’m still boosting them further with a touch of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. The root development on this transplant was insane—super white, healthy, and ready to explode with growth. What Are Mycorrhizae? The word “mycorrhiza” comes from Greek: • Myco- meaning fungus • Rhiza- meaning root Mycorrhizae are a type of beneficial fungi that form a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with plant roots. These fungi extend far beyond the root zone, creating an underground network that helps plants absorb water, nutrients, and improve overall health. This is not a single species but rather a whole category of fungi, mainly divided into: 1. Ectomycorrhizae – Live on the outside of plant roots, forming a sheath around them. Common in trees like pines and oaks. 2. Endomycorrhizae (Arbuscular Mycorrhizae, AMF) – The most beneficial for most crops and cannabis. These penetrate root cells, forming structures inside the roots that exchange nutrients. Where Are Mycorrhizae Found in Nature? Mycorrhizae naturally occur in forests, grasslands, and undisturbed soils worldwide. They play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance by helping plants access nutrients from the soil. In a natural environment, plants are constantly forming relationships with these fungi. However, in modern agriculture, excessive tilling, chemical fertilizers, and fungicides have reduced their populations, making supplementation necessary in many cases. How Do Mycorrhizae Work? Once mycorrhizae colonize a plant’s roots, they start forming an underground fungal network called the mycelium. This network extends the plant’s reach into the soil, acting as a second root system. Benefits of Mycorrhizae: ✅ Enhanced Nutrient Uptake – Mycorrhizae help plants absorb phosphorus, nitrogen, and micronutrients that would otherwise be unavailable. ✅ Improved Water Absorption – The fungal network can reach deeper into the soil than roots alone, helping plants survive drought conditions. ✅ Stronger, Healthier Roots – They promote thicker, more robust root systems, reducing transplant shock. ✅ Better Soil Structure – They produce glomalin, a protein that improves soil aggregation and helps retain moisture. ✅ Natural Pest & Disease Resistance – Healthy plants with strong mycorrhizal relationships tend to be more resistant to soil-borne pathogens. How Mycorrhizae Help in Cannabis & Gardening In controlled growing environments, using mycorrhizae is a game-changer. Since cannabis relies heavily on phosphorus, the enhanced nutrient uptake provided by mycorrhizae is especially beneficial. Best ways to apply mycorrhizae: • At transplant – Dust roots with mycorrhizae powder or mix into soil. • As a soil drench – Some liquid formulations allow fungi to colonize even after planting. • Mix into your growing medium – Using pre-amended soil like Pro-Mix HP Mycorrhizae ensures roots have early access. Pro Tip: Mycorrhizae need living roots to survive! Avoid using synthetic fungicides or excessive chemical fertilizers, as they can kill the fungi. Think of mycorrhizae as a natural root booster. They’ve been around for hundreds of millions of years, helping plants thrive in all conditions. By using them in cultivation, you’re mimicking nature, ensuring your plants grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient. When used correctly, mycorrhizae can increase yields, improve plant health, and reduce the need for synthetic inputs—making them a must-have for any serious grower! Can’t wait to see how they’ll look in the next transplant! I made a few changes to my improvised photo studio, including a pink background for now—because why not? Let’s keep things fun and full of color! 🌸📸 Massive gratitude to all our sponsors and of course, a special shoutout to Zamnesia, Plagron, and Grow Diaries for making this amazing cup happen. 🙌 And to the community—followers, supporters, lovers, haters—I love you all! ❤️ Let’s keep pushing forward, learning, and making this grow legendary! Stay Tuned for More! Next week, i may be moving them into bigger pots and getting them into their final environment. You won’t want to miss this next stage! See you all next week—stay tuned, keep growing, good luck to all and let’s make history together! 🚀🌱 Genetics - Runtz https://www.zamnesia.com/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html Nutrients - Plagron https://plagron.com/en/hobby - Aptus Holland https://aptus-holland.com/ Controls - Trol MAster https://www.trolmaster.eu/ LED - https://www.futureofgrow.com/en LED - https://www.thinkgrowled.com Soil - https://www.promixgardening.com/en Germination - Cannakan https://cannakan.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopXr-inLXajXu3QFgKXCXXos4F1oEvScjMKIB5MR5dk8-GJ-F49 DOGDOCTOR 15% off Smoking Papers - https://ziggioriginal.com/ Terpene saver - https://grovebags.com/ As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciloved and i fell honored with you all in my life With true love comes happiness Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant.

Week2 Day 1- 08/19/2023 Weekly Maintenance- Non-Water change week Added .5mil/gal of TPS SILICA Gold = 39 gallons X .5 = 19.5mil = 20mil add She really does look great today. More roots are finding their way out of the basket and into the water, looks like I might be able to give her, her first top soon. Humidity is still running just a little low, I am making sure I keep a close eye on the humidifiers and added more water as needed. Week2 Day 2- 08/20/2023 She is definitely a mutant, I was having a hard time deciding if I could Top her and if I did, where, since she is so closed up still. Found one side node that looked promising to let it spread out and not compact in harder from the cut. Hopefully the topping will help induce a rapid growth like her sister and spread her out a little bit more. She got her first hair cut today. Week2 Day 3 - 08/21/2023 She is absolutely growing but with the mutations not outwardly exploding, the root ball is starting to form very nicely. She overall looks really happy to me. I will just continue to observe and do what feels right in regard to methodologies as she grows. Week2 Day 4 - 8/22/2023 she is looking great.. From me thinking she wouldn't make it to me having to support the stem and hand drip water.. I didn't think this little Mutant would make it but she is doing great, lets see what we can do with her over this grow. Week2 Day 5 - 08/23/2023 What more can you say then I am proud of my little mutant.. she is taking to the system well, still not much I can do with her. Small tops in awkward spots. Week2 Day 6 - 08/24/2023 Not much to report today, her growth is going great. Looks nice and comfortable, Saturday Water Change day. Tomorrow I will get all of her end of week measurements for height and all. Week2 Day 7 - 08/25/2023 Week 2 is officially in the bag, my little mutant is now at 6 and just right at a 1/2 inch tall. The Rate of growth is showing she might need the full additional 6 weeks of Veg, but depending on continued growth of her sister, she might not be able to get the time and need to go to flower a little on the small side in 4-5 weeks. We will see how it goes but she is looking great and the root structure is looking great! Humidity is still a little low I added water to the Humidifiers and adjusted the input air flow down slightly. I also turned on the 4th fan to increase circulation in the tent.

Hello, fin de 3eme semaine de croissance, pour le moment tout semble aller correctement. Pas de signe de carences, enfin je pense. Les plantes on doublées en taille cette semaine. J’essaye aussi d’optimiser mon système d’irrigation. Pour exploiter les avantages de la coco au maximum. J’hésite encore entre 4 et 2 arrosages jours, si vous avez des suggestions, j’écoute.🙏😉 J’ai changé de lampe, j’utilise maintenant des LED de chez OPTIC LED, 2x54w en 5000k, spectre special croissance, je trouve le résultat plutôt bon en comparaison de mon ancienne lampe. Voilà pour cette semaine,,, Happy grow...😎

These girls are wild. I did a Trichome check yesterday and I don't have many clear ones they are almost ready to go. I'm still taking off larger vegetation getting in the way of lights and air circulation. I've also increased my intake fan to cool down my tent more and my heater has been off for weeks. The buds are extremely dense and sticky and they're giving off a wicked aroma. Very pleased with this strain and the ease of this grow. I'm feeding full strength calmag (0-0-0) and sulfur-free blackstrap molasses every watering with very small dose of a p-k booster every third watering. Im also using Orca liquid mycorrhizal as much as I can.

It seems like the plants have reached their Peak THC some of lower parts do need to mature more. It's highly improbable that will be ready because that light cannot penetrate that deep down they look very beautiful dark green with a lot of frost all over it . I will allow a few more days to continue until I see little bit of Amber on those heads . Because all the plans in my tent grow so tall the lower part will not develop very well and the lack of space doesn't help much it is a 3 by 3 ×8 feets. But I think I found a way around it. will trying to implement that on the next grow. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.
