Day 29 - Kicking off the start of week 5 and she’s definitely starting to flower. Will be starting the week 5 foxfarm feeding schedule as soo as she’s dried up. Ready to watch her start taking off and filling in. Have really had no issues or deficiencies so far. Can’t say enough about FastBuds and their genetics. Day 30 - Gave her the first feeding of the week today and added a little bit of molasses to the feed, given to me as a tip, so we’ll see how it does. She’s definitely starting to stretch and love the structure of this one so far. She tends to droop a bit right after watering but perks back up within an hour or so. Day 31 - Held off on giving any water today, still felt like she had enough to get her through another day. Will give her plain pH’d water tomorrow. She’s stretched almost an inch overnight and I think this is one of my best looking grows so far. Will keep my fingers crossed things continue to go and smoothly as they have so far. Day 32 - Gave the girl some fresh pH’d water tonight and she’s still looking healthy. Not much else going on with her right now. Day 33 - Grew an inch overnight but went ahead a raised the tie downs on most of the branches and tied her down a bit more to open her up for more light. Hopefully she responds well. Shall see tomorrow. No feed or water today, letting her dry out a bit more. Day 34 - She’s definitely stretching quite a bit every day, an inch over the last 24 hours. Gave her the second and final feed of the week and will give her just water until the start of week 6. Day 35 - End of week 5 and just took her out to get a few pics and get her measured. She grew another half an inch overnight. She’s definitely one of my best grows so far. She definitely looks bigger, healthier and further along than the green crack was at this point.

I liked growing this strain very much, it was very easy growing and everything worked out nice, I like the structure of this plant the node spaces are not so big and everything filled in nicely when she was flowering. The fastbuds zkittelz has giant huge buds they where one of the biggest buds i grow on auto's. It was a plesure to see em getting bigger and bigger. I found that the plant was very forgiving as in mistakes you make, so i recomend this to every grower out there. They only thing is it takes a little bit longer then they advertise. But then again maybe the company's are giving you the most early time you can harvest if you do everything as perfect as you can. I think you cannot do much more perfect as you have a plant that grow as big as this one. So that being said i think if you let em go for 2 weeks more then in the last 2 weeks the buds are really fattening up and they double in size sometimes. In the end i had some foxtails on my buds, not all of them but still a few, I was thinking about it, and maybe it is because i pushed her a little bit too much in the end with the nutrients, She was not that close to the lights i think. Or maybe it is also a little bit in the strain. I definitely grow this strain again. (no rights to the music in the video)

Weekly update for these girls. They got a defoliated and lollipopped this week. Also went full on into preflower showing pistols and flower sites everywhere. Over all they're growing like champs. Happy Growing

Auto Maxi Gom is growing good. She got her first lst today. She is under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in Xpert Nutrients. The feed chart might be a bit strong for autoflowers. I think I got it better figured out now. Everything is looking really good.

Did a pretty good job on my first grow

My pictures seem to have re organized themselves, just give me a few here and I'll get the full rundown . So this week ( day 21-23) was MAJOR defoliating. What my first step is to start taking the largest fan leaves . My next step is about halfway through the canopy I'll stop and then I'll start working on the very bottom of the plant now at this stage in the game anything that doesn't even have a nice Bud site so a nice white hair sticking bud at the very bottom like shoots I'll just cut them right off. This is the first steps of a main line but I don't complete the actual full main line I probably will try it sometime soon just not this time. So you take off anything that is a small shoot coming off the main stems and then your next step is . STOP. It might be a minute it might be 10 minutes, 20 min , it might be an hour or more ( my tip is don't wait a full day I try and do it within the first 12 hours of starting it) but I always stop just to look at what I've done sometimes if you get going too quickly you can end up doing way too much. Stand to talk to canopy and look what sites are getting hit by light what places are these families beneficial to use for photosynthesis. Anything that is not doing as much good will be taken off and at that point I'll probably do another you know 5-10 minutes of defoliation maybe take one or two more shoots at the bottom to ensure what's left there is a huge fat cola that's going to give you those huge buds . After this you're going to want to do your best to support those stems that are going to hold a lot more weight as if the plant would have been with all the shoots so you're going to want to just make sure that you have staking in place or some sort of support system to keep them from flopping over a breaking them in the future because that's one thing yeah it's great but then it'll get to a point where oh no stuff falling over and then it's just more hassle than it is helpful. I got alot more pictures to follow this week so stay tuned !!!

The stretch of this strain is impressive (×3 / ×4) 💪

Week 8 Veg Report: Mentha de Croco Mutants 🌱✨ Welcome to another exciting update in the Mentha de Croco mutant run! As always, these beauties continue to surprise and captivate with their unique growth patterns and stunning individuality. Let’s dig into the details of this week! 🌟 Growth & Development This week marks a turning point for the girls! While their slow but steady growth continues, I decided to top a few of them. Why? Topping not only encourages bushier growth but also allows the untopped plants to catch up, creating a more balanced canopy moving forward. Each one is still showcasing those jaw-dropping unique traits that make this run feel like a gallery of natural art. The Mentha de Croco mutants truly live up to their name, with each leaf telling its own story—some broad and serrated, others narrow and elongated, all equally breathtaking. Watching them evolve week by week is a lesson in patience and appreciation for the beauty of diversity in nature. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Good news on the environmental front! The room’s temperature has stabilized to a more comfortable range, with daytime temps at 22°C and RH steady at around 66%. These are near-ideal conditions for vegetative growth, helping the girls to stay happy and stress-free. The stable climate contributes to the vibrant health and vigor they display—always praying to the lights like the champions they are! 💧 Feeding & Nutritional Care Nutritionally, we continue with the tried-and-true regimen: • Aptus Regulator 🌟 • CalMag Boost • Start Booster I’ve completely transitioned to using the All-in-One Pellets, which are doing a fantastic job of delivering slow-release organic nutrition directly in the soil. The decision to stop liquid feedings with the All-in-One Liquid was the right move, and it’s clear the girls are loving the steady supply of essential nutrients right at their roots. Additionally, I’ve been sticking to bottom-watering. Filling the trays and allowing the soil to wick up moisture not only ensures the roots get what they need but also keeps pesky gnats at bay—especially when paired with yellow sticky traps. This method has made a noticeable difference in keeping the grow area clean and pest-free! 🛠️ Cultivation Techniques: To Clone or Flip? The big question of cloning or flipping still hangs in the air. I’m taking my time to observe and assess their progress. Each plant is so unique that I want to give them the space and time to reveal their full potential before deciding. Let’s touch on the two potential strategies for next steps: 1. Flipping to 12/12 for a Short Period: This would allow me to determine sex quickly, but it can stress the plants slightly. 2. Cloning: Creating clones and flipping them instead is a great way to preserve the integrity of the main plants while identifying males and females without disrupting their growth cycle. Both approaches have their merits, and I’m leaning toward cloning once they’re big enough to snip without harm. 📸 Photography Corner: Highlighting Details This week, I brought out the cameras again—my trusty Nikon and Sony with interchangeable lenses—because, let’s face it, phone cameras just don’t do justice to the intricate beauty of these plants. Whether it’s the textures of the leaves or the play of light on the water droplets, having the right lens makes all the difference. For close-ups, I used a macro lens, which allowed me to capture every vein and serration on those incredible mutant leaves. For a wider perspective, I switched to a standard lens to showcase their overall growth. These tools help me highlight the artistry in each plant and share it with the world. 🙌 Shoutouts & Gratitude A heartfelt thank you to the amazing brands and communities that make this journey possible: • Terpyz Mutant Genetics 🌱 – For these one-of-a-kind mutants that redefine what’s possible in cultivation. • Aptus Holland 💧 – For providing the cleanest organic-mineral nutrition line that keeps the girls thriving. • Pro Mix – For the top-notch soil that’s the perfect foundation for this grow. • Future of Grow (FOG) 💡 – For the incredible Black Series lighting that ensures every photon counts. • Trol Master – best controls in the market, and i have all the data to back it up . • Grow Diaries 📖 – For giving us growers a platform to document and share our journey. • The Community 🌍 – To everyone who follows, supports, and engages—haters and lovers alike.

Flower stretch and bud sites are setting. Lots of tops from the lst. Fingers crossed.

Day 64. Girls took defoliation like champs and they are overstretched Champs !!! Girls slow down with drinking, thinking today will be first watering after training session, but its normal, i have full shoping bag of leaves ... This week Feed, water and hopefully one more water. Let's see flowers forming everywhere !! Day 67. Girls got Great White and its Jungles, think I will be doing at least second wave of defoliation. Girls are stretched with tops, highest 3-4 nods covering loads of flowers under secondary crown, need to get light there !!! 3 huge plants at the back - Blue Dreams, they are MONSTERS !! 3 lowest in the middle - Runtz, super compact and super stacked ! 4 infront - Kalini Asias, still no pink colours yet ... Day 69. Got some funky box from a friend. He grew Barneys Farm - Jack Ripper and its lovely weed, some lemony aftertaste, really strong i would say ! But !!! Zamnesia will be better ;))))) They are pure JOY !!! Happy Growing !

We are in flower ! Trainwreck is doing great, the defoliation delivered the shape I wanted like always, simple training but can change the plant shape a lot. The flower stretch went super well, I think she will stretch a bit more but should be almost done. I cleaned the lower branches completely to avoid any problems down below, better airflow and less risk for Pm etc. Still not using any nutrients, all living soil from Sonnenerde.

Update - 4th July 2021 Just still flushing away. The colours that are coming out are crazy. I have edited some pics but not videos and the videos dont really pick up the colour. Its strange that it started completely green and then went darker and darker until it reached purple buds covered in trichomes. I am planning on harvesting both this plant and the purple punch today or tomorrow depending on when i can be bothered lol Tbh, its not hard because i dry trim so it's just a case of plucking off the fan leaves and hanging it in different branches.

Ok so this week went very smoothly, these girls have had their first taste of LST and it went well this week but let me tell you I'm writing this 1 week behind and last 3 days lst wasn't as easy as it should be..... Anyway back to this week. They have had their first taste of nutrients and they loved it ... here's to hoping they carry on being so easy although due to my spoiler you know this isn't the case.... Thanks for stopping by people stay safe and happy growing...

No problems this week. I only switched the places in the Tend because one of my purple chems became a little bit too big.

Did a lot of defoliation, there were just too many leaves. Set up an auto watering system which is in manual mode right now Plant is very happy! Trichomes starting to form

Almost done now! gonna have to do a proper endgame photoshoot next week! shes pretty but my solo grow is completely kicking its ass... but thats just genetics!

Start of week 6! Week 5 went well, the girls are all very sticky and smell incredible! The super lemon haze continues to need extra feeding, she's a hungry lady! Both blueberry plants are packing on a lot of weight as the branches are bending and twisting, I tried them up to give them extra support.

She’s is recovering very well. Her root system is showing new white roots so seams she’s liking the higher TDC levels.

So far only minor PH problems after messing up a good feeding rhythm by flushing during flower transition, apart from that it’s been straight forwards! Absolutely can’t wait now! Very excited and she is SUPER super fragrant! Very sweet, notes reminds of that smell when you walk into a bakery, fresh baked sweet goods!!! She started to throw her sugar during week 2! right at the start! I am in for a treat with this one!
