Grow Diaries: Week 9 Veg - Mentha de Croco Mutants Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌱✨ Week 9 is here, and while our mutants are small, they’re undoubtedly mighty in beauty and character! Each plant continues to showcase its uniqueness, with details in the leaves that are nothing short of art. As always, patience is the key, and these beauties are teaching me that every step of this journey is worth it. The Flip is Coming! After much thought, I’ve decided to flip the entire room to a 11/13 light cycle. This means it’s time to identify males and let the females show their true potential. Here’s the plan: • Why Flip Now? Despite their smaller size, flipping now allows the plants to reveal their sex while keeping the room’s progress synchronized. This way, I can focus on the keepers and remove the males efficiently. • Revegging the Favorites: By flipping and selecting now, I’ll be able to reveg any standout females later. For those unfamiliar, revegging is a technique where, after flowering, you revert the plant back to a vegetative state. This method preserves genetics you love and allows you to grow clones or expand the line further. 👉 Benefits of Flipping and Revegging: • Speeds up the identification process without needing clones first. • Lets you preserve special traits in the plants. • Adds flexibility in managing space and time. Environment & Nutrition This week, I’ve maintained a steady environment: • Temps: 22°C with about 66% RH. • Nutrients: Continuing with the Aptus Holland lineup—Regulator, Start Booster, and CalMag Boost. The All-in-One Pellets are still providing slow-release nutrition, and the plants seem to love it! Watering from the bottom remains my go-to, helping keep gnats at bay while ensuring even root hydration. The Photographer’s Eye Once again, my Sony A6000 has been in action, capturing the stunning intricacies of these mutants. There’s something magical about zooming in on their delicate details, seeing the interplay of light, and appreciating every curve and serration. Pro tip: The right lens can make all the difference, giving you sharp, breathtaking shots.

Humidity to high but the circulation of air seems to be enough Let's hope everything go's to plan

Buds getting dense now, absolutely covered in thc, smells very orangey. Really happy with how it’s going so far.

Khalifa genetics 🙌👌

Fruity Pebbles in blue planet nutrition is doing really well. I changed her solution today as I did with both. She got some training of defoliation. She will get lollipopped soon. She is shootings her first pistils now. Thank you I Love Growing Marijuana. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Quiet week. Some lst and defoliation. Trying to get the EasyFeed timer dialed in is a bit tougher than I imagined. Different phenos may feed differently, so one pot may be dry and the other may have an inch of water and isn't ready for another feed when the other is. Going to focus on dialing it in. I love the concept, but it may not be practical. We'll see.

Flowering day 10 and the stretch starts to show. Defenitely had some CalMag issues but increasing the dose helped. Also read that the strain is quite CalMag hungry in general. STIXX50 is now at 80%.

tent 1: as last week - coming along very strong with weighty buds and a lovely fresh white widow aroma forming - trichomes are getting thicker covering the plants with little crystals. may need some more sticks for support in the final weeks. 4 weeks of growth left and last week on the nirvana nutrient. pistils still mostly white tent 2: as last week also coming along well - trichomes are forming and the colas are looking heavy. nice to see mutli bud heads at the top of the colas on some plants - the mutants as i call them - hopefully showing their big bud genetics - pistals still mostly white. Tent 3: thankfully no hermaphrodites having been stuck in the light as per last week. the plant has returned to flowering nicely though looks alittle weak - a slight mistake that i do not want to make again - pistals and crowns are showing though and coming through with good progress. will lollipop next week. Tent 4: way more advanced than tent 3 with multiple pistils and colas blooming nicely - will need to lollipop next week.

Day 63. All is going ok, she has very nice shade of green, maybe was expecting colas to be longer, but this girl jumped the grow train latest, so if i get even 70g of her - ill be very happy ! Day 67. All is progressing very very very nice ! Happy Growing !!!

August 28th Finally white heads appear, Stretching seems to grind to a halt. Let hope so, she has almost grown against the glass, Little more trainig to do Fed with thomaskali few handfulls

9/14 Week 9 and she is doing fine Little vid she is center Nuets not changing for now 9/15 Ok major changes Brought up the alternate tent and placed her in it alone under a 150w Mars This is a test to see if we can help the crowding issue in the Flower tent Video enjoy 9/16 Doing well but some white tips are saying we gotta reduce the salts so will be dropping CT nuets 10% and upping PK to 2.5 Extra space is really doing them well Defoliation again tonight the war on stemmed leaves has begun 9/17 Held a meeting of the minds and decided the best course of action is to flip the light schedule so I can feed them more appropriately, twice a day. Leaving nuets as they are as this will drop pot EC. Setting the alarm for the AM before lights out at 7:30 and changing the sched to 6AM-6PM summer is done no need for current schedule. Lights be out from 7:30AM to 6AM long I know but should not bother them. 9/19 Lights on girls feed buds look fine Video enjoy

She has been flipped to flowering light schedule after a good flush and defoliation. This plant is looking really healthy. However, I'm not really impressed with the growth. She is not responding well to the LST and topping. I think It would be better to grow this plant in a SOG type grow. I still have 5 more seeds of this strain. I still have plenty of tries to find the best method of growing this strain.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. The Strawberry Banana is doing well, I am just doing some LST every couple of days, and she is just starting to stretch. She is still feeding on silica, cal mag, and maxi grow veg nutes by GHE. She seem to be loving this Medic Grow Spectrum X, which I am now running at 70% and also running the UV/IR bars for 1 hour before lights off. I also did a light defoliation this week to allow some airflow and her to focus more energy on the upper branches. I will continue to with LST and veg nutrients until the vertical growth stops, then I will transition her to flower nutrients, and change her lighting to the red spectrum. Not much to do this week except watch her stretch and some light LST> Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Cantaloupe haze needed a good flush brought runoff from 2000 ppm to 1100ppm will continue to monitor.

December 2nd: Week 6 has started, hopefully last week of veg, defoliating, started feeding Sweet Candy, reducing humidity... more to come Tuesday night and it's end of week 6 or day 42, they are doing well, about 16 inches tall and bushy but I feel like another week of veg wouldn't hurt, hoping to get them all around 18 inches tall before I flip Comments and likes appreciated, stay high

5/6/25 its crazy how big this plant has gotten in such a little amount of time. I need to topdress in another dr earths feed for her here soon. 5/8/25 shes got monster leaves. ive been using lst clips and super cropping to keep the plant growing a little wider

This week the GMO cookies is just blew up. Started the week with a transplant to 1gallon pots. An the took to it very well to it. both ended w2 at 6in & 7in tall. Hand watering 300ml daily to these girls at lights on.SF light set to 35% @ start of this week. With a 60-65% humidity level.

Looks like there are no issues with this ladie she was planted on August 3rd and looks like she's developing perfect, let's see how she performs.
