Week 2 , I'm seeing amazing new growth everyday. Love my @marshydro TS-600 . I’m learning new stuff everyday about growing indoors and I love all the feedback and positive comments from my fellow grow diary peeps. I am looking forward to the next 8 weeks of my first indoor grow. ✌️#growwhereyouareplnted #growerschoiceseeds #marshydro

Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th) (Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. I’m seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like it’s been ravaged by pests but I still can’t find any evidence or signs of a pest. I’m suspecting caterpillars so I’m going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time. The clones are all really lagging so they won’t be flipped until July 15th at least. I’m still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. It’s still quite gnarled and twisted. (Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. I’m going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have. (Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even. (Day 54) I’m going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. I’m first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots. I will be amending with: 5 tablespoons of nature’s pride bloom 4 tablespoons of kelp meal 2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP 2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust 2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 1 tablespoon of rock dust blend 1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite (Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if they’re stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I don’t see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I don’t think they’ve officially started flowering yet I didn’t get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

I changed the fertilizer from organic to inorganic. It was seen that the plant was needed nitrogen, the plant was rather weak in growth, and the color of the leaves was yellow. When i had return to mineral fertilizers the plant immediately restored.

Start flowering stage. 30/04 : Defoliation Made EC1.18 (but maybe I should raise it ?? ) PH 5.5 raising 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: CHECK THE METERS EVERY DAY ON RO WATER AND VERIFY EC=9,5 AND PH=6,7 IF IS NOT TEST YOUR METERS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 asked advice to @YYCannabis and the community 😀 01/05: EC1.28 PH 5.9

Been fighting Ph so I went back to using mykochorizae in the reservoir and the Ph is back under control. Also added another 2000 watt light.

As altas temperaturas arruinaram a colheita, as plantas estão sem cheiro a WW#1 foi a mais resistente ao calor, ainda exala um aroma muito bom, porem as outras plantas sofreram mais, a C99xBB#1 perdeu totalmente o cheiro, e nasceram novos pistilos diminuindo a densidade das flores.

Started the week out with a mini flush and nutrient change. Fed the clones that are in the coco coir and they are thickening up well and producing solid buds. This might become an every grow thing, its looking like it will produce a good amount of bud for being a 12/12 clone.

5 days before the pictures i started overdrive and dropped the floranova to 1ml

Permanent Marker weed strain possesses the genetics for high anthocyanin production, which is responsible for its signature deep purple. While the genes are present, the expression of these colors is often enhanced by "thermal stress" (lower temperatures) during the final three weeks of flowering, which triggers the production of these pigments. 👋 Raising the Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio in the growing medium to avoid over-immobilizing nitrogen, on the flip side, being careful not to trigger early autophagy. Moderate, controlled increases in sugar support the energetic demands of flowering and act as a signal trigger, but excess sugar is more likely to inhibit flowering or damage the plant. Balance, like everything else. Visually, when the chloryphyll green gets darker, it is a subtle indicator that the concentration of nitrogen is increasing / more is being stored than is being used. I noticed when you push very high intensity lighting, it slowly fades the green as the plant degrades chloryphyll faster than it can be replenished. When the green of the leaf continually gets darker, it is an indication that the concentration levels of nitrogen are increasing, and I dont want to increase light intensity. Turn down the nitrogen faucet. C:N ratio dictates the rate at which nitrification occurs, if at all. The Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio acts as a critical biological "on/off switch" (or regulator) for nitrogen turnover by determining whether microbes immobilize (consume/tie up) or mineralize (release) nitrogen during the breakdown of organic matter. This ratio regulates microbial activity by defining the balance between available energy (carbon) and building materials (nitrogen). The C:N ratio in a medium acts as a critical regulator of nitrification, effectively functioning as an "on/off" switch for the dominance of either autotrophic nitrifying bacteria or heterotrophic bacteria. The shade of green in chlorophyll is subtly linked to the enzyme Rubisco through a co-evolutionary, functional relationship designed to optimize photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light for energy, reflecting green light, a process that ensures the "light-dependent" reactions provide the correct, controlled amount of energy (ATP and NADPH) needed by Rubisco to perform its "light-independent" carbon fixation. Because Rubisco is a relatively inefficient and slow enzyme—often considered the bottleneck of photosynthesis—chlorophyll and the overall structure of the leaf have evolved to manage energy distribution to prevent overwhelming the Calvin cycle. While chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light, it is not perfectly efficient, and leaves appear green because some green light is reflected or transmitted. This reflection allows light to penetrate deeper into the leaf, preventing the surface chloroplasts from becoming overloaded and enabling a more efficient distribution of energy to the high volume of Rubisco located throughout the leaf's mesophyll. The rate of chlorophyll-driven electron transport (light reactions) is matched to the potential rate of carbon fixation (Rubisco activity). If Rubisco were faster, leaves might be darker; however, the "shade of green" represents a balance that prevents chlorophyll from producing more energy than the inefficient Rubisco can process. The green color itself is a byproduct of a photosynthetic system tailored to feed a slow, yet crucial, enzyme (Rubisco) just enough energy to maximize carbon assimilation without inducing excessive oxidative stress or inefficiency. The shade of green in leaves is directly linked to the concentration of chlorophyll, which is in turn strongly correlated with the amount of Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) and, consequently, the rate of carbon fixation. Darker green leaves generally indicate a higher concentration of both chlorophyll and Rubisco, signifying greater capacity for photosynthesis. Increase output or reduce input. Subtle tells. While an excess of nitrogen (specifically ammonium) can cause an imbalance, nitrification—the microbial conversion of ammonia to nitrate—is highly sensitive to a variety of environmental, chemical, and physical factors. Because it depends on specific, slow-growing bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) and archaea, anything that stresses these organisms can disrupt the process.

Finaly some more sunshine &she is looking delicious 😛making my mouth water when I smell her 😋Sweet Girl 😍 Lots of work in the rest of my garden but not with this girl ☺️ Sweet &Easy

Day 14 time for transplantation 🤗 first time with auto, but F1 should be resistant💪

Booming and blooming. One pheno is about 25" tall, and the other is over 3' tall. Not a ton of odor yet, but I continue to be very impressed by the growth rate of these Pride of the Lion genetics. Sprayed CannControl on Wednesday as a preventive measure. Aphids are strong in the brussels sprouts right now.

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!

Just water

🌿 Woche 26 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Die Entwicklung der Buds schreitet momentan wirklich hervorragend voran 🌸💚. Besonders bei der linken Pflanze sieht man inzwischen jeden Tag deutliche Fortschritte. Die Buds beginnen bereits wunderschön in der Sonne zu glitzern und die ersten Trichome machen richtig Lust auf das Endergebnis ✨☀️. Auch der Geruch beim Reiben an den Zuckerblättern wird immer spannender 👃🌿. Ich würde das aktuelle Aroma als zitronig, minzig, leicht lösemittelhaltig und mit einer feinen Beerennote beschreiben 🍋🍃. Eine wirklich interessante Kombination, die sich hoffentlich in den kommenden Wochen noch weiter entwickelt. Der Breeder erwähnt, dass es bei diesem Cultivar seltene Blaubeer-Phenos geben soll, deren Buds allerdings Unterstützung benötigen 🌸. Ich könnte mir durchaus vorstellen, dass sich die linke Pflanze in diese Richtung entwickelt. Natürlich ist es dafür noch viel zu früh, um das sicher zu sagen, aber die Kombination aus Aroma und ihrer bisherigen Entwicklung macht mich definitiv neugierig 👀. Von allen drei Pflanzen in meinem aktuellen Grow riecht die linke Mentha de Croco momentan tatsächlich am besten 😍. Ich bin deshalb besonders gespannt, wie sich ihr Aroma bis zur Ernte noch verändert. Die rechte Pflanze ist im Vergleich momentan etwas unspektakulärer 🌿. Dafür scheint ihre Struktur etwas unkomplizierter zu sein, sodass ich mir bei ihr wahrscheinlich etwas weniger Sorgen um die Unterstützung der Buds machen muss 🌸. Bei der linken Pflanze werde ich das Gewicht der Buds definitiv weiter im Auge behalten. Beim Wasserverbrauch liege ich momentan bei ungefähr 2,5–4 Litern pro Pflanze und Tag 💧. Das hängt inzwischen stark davon ab, wie warm es tagsüber wird. Diese Woche soll es noch einmal etwas wärmer werden ☀️🌡️ – für die weitere Blütenentwicklung dürfte das durchaus hilfreich sein. Langsam steigt bei mir wirklich die Vorfreude auf das Endergebnis 😍🌸. Gerade die linke Pflanze macht mich mit ihrem Aroma und dem zunehmenden Trichombesatz richtig neugierig. Jetzt heißt es weiter beobachten, das Wetter genießen und hoffen, dass die Pflanzen ihre Buds noch ordentlich weiter aufbauen 🤞🌿. 🌿 Week 26 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 The bud development is progressing really well at the moment 🌸💚. Especially on the left plant, I can see noticeable changes almost every day. The buds are already sparkling beautifully in the sunlight, and seeing the first serious layer of trichomes is making me really excited about the final result ✨☀️. The aroma when rubbing the sugar leaves is becoming more and more interesting as well 👃🌿. At the moment, I would describe it as lemony, minty, slightly solvent-like, with a subtle berry note 🍋🍃. It’s a really fascinating combination and I hope the terpene profile continues to develop over the next few weeks. The breeder mentions that this cultivar can occasionally produce rare blueberry phenotypes, although those buds apparently need some additional support 🌸. I could definitely imagine the left plant moving in that direction. Of course, it’s still far too early to say that for sure, but the combination of its aroma and overall development definitely has me curious 👀. Out of all three plants in my current grow, the left Mentha de Croco actually smells the best at the moment 😍. I’m therefore especially interested to see how her aroma develops by harvest. The right plant is a little less spectacular for now 🌿. However, its structure seems somewhat easier to manage, so I’m expecting slightly fewer concerns about supporting the buds 🌸. I’ll definitely keep a close eye on the weight of the buds on the left plant. Water consumption is currently around 2.5–4 litres per plant per day 💧. It varies quite a bit depending on daytime temperatures. It’s supposed to get a little warmer again this week ☀️🌡️, which should hopefully help with further bud development. I’m getting more and more excited about the final result 😍🌸. The left plant in particular has me really curious with her aroma and increasing trichome coverage. For now, it’s all about watching the plants develop, enjoying the warmer weather and hoping they continue to stack up those beautiful buds 🤞🌿.

Week three of flower is here and the pistils are popping out all over the place now. The final tuck was done on day 14, two days ago. From here I am just letting them grow out, the second net is just to support the colas as they develop and pack on weight. Day 16 of flower: Photographed and took a video. More updates to come later in the week. If you are on X, please follow me @Unorthadoxdude
