📆 Semana 10 La Mentha de Croco entra en su recta final. Los cogollos ya no engordan apenas, pero sí maduran: los tricomas muestran mezcla clara de lechoso y ámbar en las puntas, marcando que el punto óptimo está muy cerca. La resina se espesa, la textura se vuelve más pegajosa y el aroma mentolado gana profundidad. Los pistilos siguen oscureciendo y la planta empieza a mostrar ese “tono final” típico: menos actividad interna, más concentración en rematar terpenos. El riego baja al mínimo, manteniendo solo la hidratación justa antes del lavado final. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

3rd flower week complete. I cant help but think I've ruined one of the 2 girls. Shes taking a really long time to recover and bud growth is slow and steady. I've defoliated for about an hour and a half tonight and now really need to get some sleep! I'll pop back tomorrow with lots more photos and a more in depth update on what has changed this week. Update........ so ive been caring for the burnt up plant throughout the week. Shes not gotten any worse but just seems a little stressed now. I decided to remove the worst of the burnt and dried up leaves last night. I know it will also cause stress but I didn't want the rotting leaves to cause any bacteria growth around the healthy plants. They've been on everyday waterings at around 1.6 EC. I've included some Hygrowzyme in the last few feeds in the hope some beneficial enzymes may help the root zone take on nutrients. Despite one of the pair being unwell the other is healthy and vigorous. Shes not getting the attention she rightly deserves so I've included lots of photos to this weeks diary. I wouldn't want anyone to be put off from growing this strain as it has so much potential. I'm hoping that the healthy plant produces the goods and leaves me wanting more.

I am convinced that I've managed to avoid a nitrogen toxicity by monitoring the inputs and the runoff of individual pots. There is only 1 plant remaining whose runoff was 300 above inputs and was showing the curled, too-dark leaves . The plants look happy, yesterday I played some rocking Mozart for them and they loved it! Today Oct 12 (Canadian Thanksgiving almost) is 2nd Day of Week 4 In Bloom and 87Days Old. I defoliated yesterday quite a bit; I've read that this is a no no as it takes energy to repair but I did it anyway, the plants reacted like they appreciated the haircut😶 I'll never know how it affected the buds. The buds are no longer hiding under the foliage as much👍 Took some of these pictures and video with only 1 light on - to try and show their "true" colour. Inputs Temp 20, PH 6.3, EC 1.8 Runoffs 1 Pot 2.1EC, 6 Pots 2.0EC, 4 Pots 1.9EC, 4 Pots 1.8 EC, 1 Pot 1.7EC Oct 16 - 32 Days In Bloom 91 Days -- Fed Again-Inputs: Temp 20, EC 1.8 PH 6.3 Run off: Temp 20, PH 6.3 EC 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 on all pots😊 First time using Enzymes; see if I notice anything. Smell has definitely increased in the last couple of days.😁 I am stoked on how these budlets have developed, the ladies are forming almost textbook style and right on time! (finally from providing proper nutrition and environment). Rails of goodness are starting. This has been the best indoor grow to date .

This week i moved the Gor cookies to my new 3x3 tent and noticed white pistols when moving so next week update will be flowering. Cherry Cola stayed in the 2x2 with no white pistols as of yet.

La purple haze était vraiment plaisante à cultiver. Une des deux a eu un problème dès le début de croissance, et malgré tout, j'ai réussi à l'envoyer en floraison. Cela montre bien que les variétés de zamnesia sont très bien pour les débutants, elles sont très résistantes. La haze était de taille moyenne. Une odeur très épicée et terreuse, un vrai plaisir au nez. On voit bien que c'est une sativa, elle provoque de grosses crises de fou rire, la première fois que j'ai tiré dessus j'ai tiré trois taf et j'ai rigolé pendant 30 minutes, complètement incroyable. Très cérébrale, pleins d'idées qui nous passent par la tête, elle rend très énergique et n'a pas d'effet de détente sur le corps. Ne pas fumer en soirée avant d'aller dormir, plutôt en après-midi, j'ai beaucoup de mal à dormir si je l'utilise en début de soirée. Attention tout de même, elle provoque pas mal de parano je trouve, typique d'une sativa. En tout cas excellente variété pour aller marcher et profiter d'une belle après-midi. J'ai optenu 45g et 30g en sachant que j'ai eu pas mal de problèmes.

So at the moment im at the end of week 1 flower... i do not own any type of real fans operating in tent other then just a couple house hold fans and no ducting of any type running.. at the moment the smells are getting a bit faint in the air, its similar to a skunky coffee bean when i open the tent, i honestly love the smell personally lol.

Home stretch, Lamby is seducing my sense of smell, I am going to harvest on week 26, going to pump nutrients in her her for 5 weeks straight, then the remaining 5! Will be rain water, flush everything that will cause a harsh smoke… plus a month of curing in a jar in darkness. Right now now I want her to bulk up.

Day 105 approximately since seed touched soil. Last girl is running, got few bugs, a bit of WPM caught bottom leaves too. Think she has 1-2 weeks, but forecast is bad, rain mostly, so will visit next week, just to check is there any bud rot ... Eventually smallest, but best girl from all Zami run. Happy Growing !!!

About this diary> So I've made it to the end! This baby didnt die on me! This diary was half a record for myself, to keep improving and contrasting against my future grows in and out of this wonderful platform (growdiaries), and half a tutorial for other noobs like me. That's why I wrote somewhat long explanations about some of the things I myself found confusing during this and last grow. I also repeated myself, but again mostly because I was trying to learn while doing. I got some help from other growers in the community, which was very nice, and different from trying to figuring out everything by oneself. This girl stretched a lot! from about 30 cm at the end of flower to about 90 cm before harvest, it survived nutrient burn, an accident were I dropped something heavy on her on flower, accidentally chopping a branch during LST and spider mites. However, still yielded nicely. I cant imagine what these genetics could become in the hands of a master grower!! About the growing conditions> The idea of the grow was, not only to learn how to grow a somewhat long flowering strain (6 week veg, 10 weeks flower) but also doing it very cheaply. I think the most expensive thing I bought was the seed from RQS. I built my own light fixture (from 4x 4.00CAD COBs from aliexpress), some cardboard, wire, sticks, tape and aluminum foil. I also used dollar store nutrients (like 15% of a 15-15-15 veg mix, and a 15-30-15 flowering mix). I timed this strain to finish a few weeks before the temperature really starts dropping outside, and was always able to keep it around 20-29C without any air conditioner/heater. About growing amnesia haze> I harvested this plant on the early side, but I found it a challenge not to harvest earlier! Since many weeks ago the delicious smell has been filling the room and some parts of the house... Plus, its a long wait... However, I think it was very well rewarded :) As I said, the high is creative, giggly, energetic and uplifting, at least from the premature samples we got. I will update this once the real deal is dry and cured :) About the harvest> Well in terms of numbers, I will update this when the weed is done drying, but I can do an estimate right now... each sample I took weighted about 1.45g wet, and dried to a 25% of that (0.35 g each)... It means that what I weighted from the harvest (412.86g + a bunch of trim) would probably weight about 100g when dry... Let's see how it goes in a week or two :)
