🌱 Germination Journey with Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! Today kicks off an exciting adventure with Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco genetics. I’ve got 10 regular seeds ready to sprout, and I’m looking forward to discovering some beautiful female phenotypes—and maybe even a standout male for potential future breeding. It’s been a while since I’ve worked with regular seeds, so I’m thrilled to dive in! Germination Process Overview: Here’s a step-by-step rundown of the germination setup and process, with a special focus on the equipment and nutrients that are helping these seeds thrive right from the start. Step 1: TheCannaKan Germination Pod 🌱 For germination, I rely on TheCannaKan—a device I’ve come to love and trust. It’s designed to create the perfect microclimate for seed germination, and within just 24 hours, the seeds started showing signs of life. By the 32-hour mark, they were all ready to be transferred to the next stage! I can’t recommend this gadget enough for anyone serious about getting strong, early growth from their seeds. • Why TheCannaKan? • Humidity Control: Ensures seeds stay hydrated without oversaturation. • Stable Temperature: Maintains an even temperature around the seeds, so there’s no shock or stalling. • Enhanced Oxygenation: Keeps fresh air circulating, helping prevent mold and ensuring seeds don’t suffocate. Step 2: Transfer to Root Riots & Aptus Holland Supplements 💧 Once the seeds were sprouted, I transferred them into Root Riots, known for their excellent water retention and structure that encourages strong root growth. Root Riots also have a pH-balanced, spongy texture that makes it easy for roots to penetrate, promoting sturdy, healthy root systems. At this stage, I started using Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster at 1ml/L each. Here’s why I chose these products for early growth: • Aptus Regulator (1ml/L): Helps strengthen the plants against environmental stresses by supporting cell wall structure. It’s a fantastic choice for giving young seedlings an early boost in resilience. • Aptus Startbooster (1ml/L): This product provides essential microbes and nutrients that stimulate root growth and early plant vigor. Especially for regular seeds, the early root development makes a noticeable difference in later growth stages. Step 3: Lighting with Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD 💡 For lighting, I’m using a Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED. For the germination stage, I’ve dimmed it to around 200 PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density), which provides just enough light for healthy, strong seedling growth without overwhelming them. • Why Low Intensity? • 200 PPFD ensures that young plants aren’t exposed to too much light, which could cause stress or stunting. This level of intensity is perfect for encouraging healthy development without risking “stretching.” • The FOG LED provides a balanced spectrum tailored to plant growth, setting up these young sprouts for success as they grow. Step 4: Environmental Control with TrolMaster Tent X Controller 📲 For monitoring and control, I’m using the TrolMaster Tent X Controller, which lets me dial in every aspect of the environment to make sure these little ones have the perfect conditions for germination and early growth. • TrolMaster Benefits: • Precision Control: Adjust temperature, humidity, and lighting all in one place. • Notifications: Sends updates in real-time to my device, so I can make adjustments as needed without being physically present. • Consistency: Maintains stable conditions around the clock, reducing stress on seedlings and ensuring they’re thriving. Grow Tips & Reflections: Germination is one of the most crucial stages in a plant’s lifecycle. Starting with strong genetics like Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco, combined with a solid germination setup and the right nutrients, creates the foundation for a successful grow. 💡 Quick Tips for Fellow Growers: • Hydration Balance: Don’t oversaturate! Moisture levels should be high enough for the seeds to sprout but not so wet that they drown. • Light Management: A low PPFD for young seedlings prevents stretch and keeps nodes tight, preparing them for a healthy vegetative phase. • Environment Consistency: Use a reliable controller like the TrolMaster Tent X to manage your settings, and consider monitoring tools for real-time adjustments. Shout Outs to the Community: Big thanks to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED lights, and TrolMaster for the amazing controller. Also, shout out to all of you in the growing community—you make this journey exciting and filled with endless learning. Let’s keep growing and sharing together! That’s it for the germination update! Next up, I’ll be monitoring growth closely to identify strong females (and maybe a standout male for breeding). Stay tuned for updates on our Mutant Mentha de Croco adventure—this is just the beginning!

Rehydration started for this little seed. It was a present from Dutch Passion with my last order : let’s see how it goes ! Put in the water the 19 of June, and expecting around 11 weeks of grow

19. März Es riecht sehr wild sobald man das Zelt aufmacht:) Wir kommen voran. Meiner Ak geht es wieder gut. Ich Idiot hab vergessen seit der Sämlingsphase einen der Ventilatoren immer weiter nach oben zu schieben. Die Dame hatte einfach Hitze oben x) hätte ich früher von selber drauf kommen können 😅 aber jetzt ist es halt so. Die Purple Punch sieht trotz Nanners wunderschön aus und reift unglaublich gut kann mich weiterhin kein Stück beklagen weitergemacht zu haben :) Des Weiteren habe ich ein kleines Upgrade vor: Hab mir von Ac Infinity die S16 Lampen gekauft. Ich warte noch bis der Postbote meine Zusatzstsngen für das Zelt liefert u d dann kann ich es installieren. Ich bin sehr gespannt ob das was bringt :D

Tried a new setup with my roommates .

On day 29 I’ve increased the amount of Connoisseur Grow A+B given, from 0.5ml/L to 2ml/L, and the same with B-52, in 1L of water. No more Voodoo Juice as well. On day 29 I’ve also done some more LST on the same branches. I’m happy about the results. She’s gonna be a beast, although the pot capacity is just 5L. On day 31 I’ve increased nutrients from 2ml/L to 4ml/L (Connoisseur Grow A+B), B-52 not touched (again 2ml/L), and put them in 1.5L of water. On day 32 I did the third session of LST on various branches.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Wao. Well, all good hopefully they will stop growing soon but the strech is not that much thanks for the trainings such as topping and LST.... Pistils are started appearing so they she the sex I think one more week to go and they will settle down concentrating on bud development. What to say every 2nd day is fertilization with the mix and ratio above now we are waiting. Anything else? Well just look atbthe pictures and decide what you think. I am pretty sure they look cool LOL. This Gleato Zamnesia is very promising I really like the smell already she is nice but all of them I mean I am in love with all so. Kalinia Asia is nice and I am so excited for the Sweed Seeds ones the red girls OMG :)

Been looking forward to sharing this week. I made some changes to the grow room to make it a little more easy to work in, added some new things to make it fun, as well as mounted fans for a new airflow pattern. We’re in flower this week and this girls been unbelievable to train. It’s one of the most resilient autos I’ve ever grown. Autos can be a gamble sometimes. I’ve lollipopped it, LSTed it, and supercropped it, heavily defoliated, it has always been leaves back up within a few hours, and the minty green color of these leaves is beautiful. It is my only time growing fastbuds lemon pie, but if someone is looking for one to train heavy I already feel confident recommending this one. Of course always listen to your plant. The addition of the crates helped me widen the usual tie down coverage I am limited to beyond the pots. I will never not use these crates in a future grow when training. The plant will breathe a lot better all the way through to flower. I have 4 corner air flow and a top fan I recently set up to work much more efficiently as a soft constant breeze mixed with a heavier oscillating gust to mimic the outdoors. The crates sit on a 12” wide 4 wheel dolly and spin within the new 14”x14” plant saucers. I just use a shop vac connected to a 7 gal bucket to remove the runoff. It’s been really fun sharing my grows and I can tell already it’s making me a better grower. I’ve got a cannon rebel now so I can take better quality pics and I usually post a lot of them and they are in order throughout the week. Part of growing is finding cheaper or smarter ways of doing things. If anyone has any tips they use or dollar store finds I’d love if you’d share in the comments. I never expected a $6 crate could change how my plants grow so much. I am not going to on this grow but it would be easy to zip tie 4 bamboo or pvc stakes in each corner and make an even wider raised single plant trellis system above the crates for a much cheaper price than buying one. I have considered doing 3 plant grows of the same strain on here and mainlining one, LSTing one, and letting one grow naturally to see what I get the best yields strain to strain with. I would be doing this within the fastbuds genetic lineup. If that’s something that sounds good to you I’d appreciate any feedback either way. Hope you enjoy… Happy growing!

Overall this was a great grow. Wish I grew more of this! Follow my IG (@campexotic) for more/better grow content. Also promo code “campexotic” gets you 5% off your cart to Neptune Seedbank. Thank me later! 😁

Super busy with a move and a big garden reno. Sorry, this is the only update for this week

Gary Payton from Taste Budz Genetics is a real standout in my garden. The buds are huge and dense, with a beautiful neon green color that practically glows. The structure is amazing, and the skunky smell is so strong and pungent – it fills the whole room! This strain is definitely a heavy hitter, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. If you're looking for something potent and flavorful, Gary Payton is definitely one to try. I recently upgraded to the GrowPro Solutions Under Canopy lights, and wow, what a difference! The colors on my plants are seriously popping – they look so vibrant. Plus, I think it really helped them finish strong. If you're looking to boost your grow, I'd definitely recommend checking these out.

Seems they are safe and strong! :) Last day to vegetation state!

What do you think? What is the problem of the plant? Did it suffer? Or is near to the end?

8/25 put in closet for 48 hrs of darkness before harvest 8/28 actually did almost 3 days of darkness but started trimming and chopping. Getting ready to hang. Day 1. 8/29: 72°F and 50% humidity. Still wet. Even the small buds Day 2. 8/30: 70°F and 47% humidity Day 3. 8/31: 70°F and 52% humidity. Looking more dry than id prefer after 3 days of drying. But the conditions arent exactly ideal. Day 4. 9/1: 70°F and 49% humidity. Humidity dropped which sucks! Day 5. 9/2: 75°F and 37 humidity. Temperatures rose and humidity dropped a lot. Buds are super crispy. Im gonna let them go another day. Day 6. 9/3: time to jar the buds for curing. Dry weight is 43 grams

Buenas a tod@s... Segunda semana de floracion de la psicodelicia de sweet seed, la variedad se la ve bien, fuerte, los nutrientes son muy buenos, aún q es mi segundo armario ya se va notando un gran cambio, espero q siga todo bien, se que si... 💪🏻💪🏻 A seguir trabajando... Buenos humos para tod@s.. 💨💨💨🔥🔥 😎💎 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

One was more bushy and was a little behind. As I said, they had some heat stress and I think the 15-liter pots are too small when the environment is hotter. Still, they are totally worth growing and joy to smoke. They don't need much curing and the weed is very very strong. Going to try this strain again very soon!!

First week in the books. Nothing big to report. Any questions or suggestions let me know! Happy gardening!

Going to grow strand again but let plant grow larger. I will not put the plant in flowering two weeks into veg

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 9 | Same Genetics. Completely Her Own Story. 🌿🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you've been following these individual phenotype diaries, you already know that I absolutely love this part of the project. Because sometimes you can take two plants from the same cultivar... Give them the same environment. The same light. The same irrigation. The same nutrition. The same room. And still end up with two plants that look like they were given completely different instructions. That's exactly what we're seeing with these two Blueberry Muffins. And this girl? She's writing her own story. She's compact. She's lush. She's beautifully structured. And she's becoming increasingly interesting as flowering progresses. This week was another step toward giving her the space she needs to turn all that beautiful structure into flowers. So let's have a look at what our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has been doing. ?🌸 🌱 Week 9 – The Compact Sister Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has never been interested in becoming the tallest girl in the room. And honestly? I don't think she cares. She's approximately 75 cm tall, but height doesn't really tell the story with this phenotype. Her personality is in her density. She's compact. She's leafy. She's got a strong central structure with flowering sites distributed throughout the plant. And as flowering has progressed, that compact architecture has become even more obvious. This is where growing multiple phenotypes becomes so much fun. Her sister has her own architecture. This girl has hers. Neither one is trying to imitate the other. They're simply expressing what they have genetically programmed inside them. And I absolutely love it. 🌸 Flowering Development – She's Filling the Space The flowers are now becoming much more established throughout the plant. The fresh white pistils are everywhere, and the individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly recognizable. What I particularly like about Pheno B is how much flower development she's carrying inside such a relatively compact structure. She's not using a huge amount of vertical space. She's using the space efficiently. Branches are filling in. Flowering sites are developing. The canopy is becoming increasingly dense. And this is where our job as growers changes slightly. Earlier in the grow, density was simply beautiful. Now that we're moving deeper into flower, we have to think about what that density means for: 💨 Air movement 💡 Light penetration 🌡️ Microclimate 💧 Humidity management 🌸 Flower development And that's exactly what we're doing this week. ✂️ Cleaning the Canopy – Making Room Like her sister, Pheno B also received some selective defoliation this week. But there's an important distinction. We're not cleaning her because she's doing something wrong. We're cleaning her because she's doing too much of a good thing. 😄 She's naturally compact and very leafy. And as the flowers develop, some areas can become quite crowded. So we're opening her up a little. Removing selected leaves that are overlapping. Removing foliage that isn't contributing much anymore. Creating some breathing room around developing flowers. And generally making the architecture easier to manage. This isn't about stripping the plant. Far from it. She's still beautifully green. She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage. We're simply creating a little more space between everything. Sometimes the best canopy is not the one with the most leaves. It's the one where every remaining leaf has room to work. 💨 Airflow – Especially Important for This Girl This is probably even more relevant with Pheno B than it is with her sister. Because this girl is compact. And compact plants naturally create more areas where leaves and flowers can sit close together. That can be beautiful. But as flowers become denser, I don't want stagnant little pockets developing inside the canopy. Good airflow is one of those things you don't really notice when everything is working properly. And that's exactly how I like it. Air moving through the plant. Humidity being managed. No unnecessary congestion. No little hidden corners where moisture can sit. We're not trying to create a sterile plant. We're simply trying to make the environment less friendly to problems such as mildew or mould as flowering progresses. Prevention is always easier than dealing with a problem later. 💡 She's Compact – So Let's Use the Photons This is another reason I like opening her up a little. At around 75 cm, she's not particularly tall. And that's perfectly fine. But when you have a compact flowering plant, I want to make sure the available photons can actually reach the places where they're useful. She already benefits from the additional light strategy we're running in the room, including the inner and under-canopy lighting. That's a huge advantage. But even with additional lighting, there's no reason to let unnecessary layers of foliage block one another if we can naturally improve the canopy. We're not trying to expose every flower directly to the light. We're simply creating pathways. Light pathways. Air pathways. And observation pathways. That's what this little cleanup is about. 🌿 Still One of the Lushest Girls in the Room And after the cleanup... Look at her. She's still lush. She's still green. She's still compact. And she's still unmistakably Pheno B. This is something I really wanted to preserve. I don't want to turn her into a completely different plant just because we removed some leaves. The phenotype is the phenotype. Our job isn't to erase that. Our job is to help her express it as efficiently as possible. And I think we're getting a really nice balance now. Enough foliage to power the plant. Enough space to let the canopy breathe. Enough structure to support the developing flowers. And enough visibility for us to actually see what's happening. That's a pretty good combination. ? Two Sisters – Two Personalities This comparison is becoming one of my favourite parts of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Because if you put Pheno A and Pheno B side by side, you can immediately see that they're related... but they're not identical. Pheno A has developed her own open architecture. Pheno B is the compact, lush sister. Pheno A has been a little more demanding in some areas. Pheno B has generally looked extremely comfortable with the current environment. And yet both plants are producing their own beautiful version of Blueberry Muffin. This is exactly why I don't like forcing every plant into the same training schedule. If I had tried to make these two plants behave identically, I'd have removed some of the most interesting information this grow is giving us. Instead, we're allowing the differences to remain visible. Same genetics. Different phenotype. Different personality. Different expression. And that's the story. ⚗️ Nutrition – No Need to Fix What Isn't Broken The feeding programme remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with: Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Power Buds – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required Current solution is around: pH 6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And Pheno B continues looking very comfortable with it. She's maintaining that beautiful green colour. She's developing flowers. She's growing normally. And there are no obvious reasons to start changing the recipe simply for the sake of changing it. That's one of the things I've learned during this project. When the plant is happy... sometimes the smartest thing you can do is leave it alone. 🌡️ The Room – Small Changes, Same Stability The environment has changed slightly compared with some of our earlier updates, but we're still maintaining a very stable room. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% ⚗️ pH – 6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – ~693 ppm 💦 Watering – ~1.3 L/plant/24h 🌡️ Solution temperature – 25.2°C 🌡️ Substrate temperature – 25.6°C 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L So we're sitting around a 4°C day/night temperature difference. And again, I don't look at any one number in isolation. Temperature interacts with humidity. Humidity interacts with transpiration. Light affects plant demand. Root-zone conditions affect water and nutrient uptake. Everything is connected. And at this point in flower, I'm particularly interested in keeping the relationship between those factors stable rather than chasing some theoretical perfect number. 💨 Opening the Canopy Helps the Whole Room There's another reason I'm happy we cleaned her up this week. It's not just about Pheno B. When you've got a room full of flowering plants, every canopy contributes to the overall environment. More open foliage means air can move through more easily. More airflow means fewer stagnant pockets. And better movement through the room helps the environmental system do its job. Again, defoliation isn't a replacement for proper ventilation or environmental control. But good canopy architecture and good environmental management work together. And that's exactly what we're trying to achieve. 🔬 A Plant That's Becoming Easier to Read One thing I really appreciate about Pheno B is that she's becoming easier and easier to understand. At the beginning, we didn't know what she was going to become. Now we do. She's telling us: "I'm compact." "I'm vigorous." "I'm leafy." "I'm going to build my flowers inside this structure." And our response is simply: "Okay. Let's work with that." That's what I mean when I say grow with the plant, not against it. We're not trying to make her taller. We're not trying to make her look like Pheno A. We're not trying to turn her into something she's not. We're simply giving this particular phenotype the conditions and space she needs to perform. 📸 The Camera Doesn't Lie The photographs this week really show how much she's changed. The close-ups reveal those developing flowers and their increasingly defined structure. The wider photographs show just how much vegetation she's carrying around those flowers. And then there are the little details. The colour. The leaf posture. The branching. The way the flowers are distributed. Those details are why I love documenting individual phenotypes. A single photograph can show what the plant looks like. But a series of photographs over several weeks shows who the plant is becoming. And Pheno B is becoming a very beautiful little flowering plant. 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, I'm not looking to make any dramatic changes. The major framework is already there. The selective cleaning has given her some additional breathing room. The environment is stable. The feeding is stable. The flowers are developing. Now comes the part where patience becomes increasingly important. Over the coming week, I'll be watching for: 🌸 Continued flower development 🌿 Increasing density around the flowering sites 💎 Early resin development 💨 Continued airflow through the canopy 💧 Stable water demand 🌡️ A stable flowering environment And most importantly... I'll be watching the plant. If she tells me she needs something, we'll respond. If she doesn't... we let her work. 💭 Final Thoughts – Her Own Little World There's something really satisfying about this plant. She isn't dramatic. She doesn't need to be. She's just beautiful. Compact. Lush. Healthy. And increasingly covered with developing flowers. And what's especially fascinating is that her sister is doing something completely different while receiving essentially the same treatment. That's the magic of phenotype hunting. You don't know exactly what you're going to get. You give the genetics the same opportunity. Then you watch. And eventually... they introduce themselves. Pheno B has introduced herself as the compact, lush, elegant sister. And I really like her. This week wasn't about changing her. It was about giving her a little more room to breathe. A little more room for photons to move through. A little more room for air. A little more room for those flowers to develop. And now... she's ready. The canopy is cleaner. The flowers are becoming more defined. The environment is stable. The nutrition is steady. And this beautiful little Blueberry Muffin is heading deeper into flower. Let's make her shine. Let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Because she may be the compact sister... but she's certainly not a small personality. ?🌸🔥 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore just how differently two phenotypes from the same cultivar can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the plants with the growing media and nutrition throughout the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the lighting that allows these twelve different genetics to perform under the same artificial sun. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light into the inner and lower parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable. And, of course, thank you to everyone in the GrowDiaries community. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing. It all makes this adventure more enjoyable. Two Blueberry Muffins. Two phenotypes. Two personalities. And we're nowhere near finished discovering what they can do. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚? See you next week with Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. 🌸🔥

The thrips are gone. It is taking more nutrients it’s more hungry these days still cutting off lots of defoliation lots of buds growing in so I’m having to keep her close eye and make sure I take out anything that’s not worth spending energy on buds are getting huge but it’s not growing any taller it’s going to be a short stocky plan
