First pic is showing off some of the stretch that has occurred. We start “Above the Stakes”this week. -Sun 10th; it looks like the R plant is making a solid effort in its Stretch, which has just begun & is really happening. The L plant is flourishing and nearing the end of its own stretch. There is an image of the pair with 3’ showing on a tape measure as reference. Jan 11 Good things are happening as the circle of branches starts fill in ! ** as a side note, the Uv-B is going back on for 6hrs a cycle (3+3) after some more reading and the recent stretch action from the plant on the R. Nothing wrong with a weeks delay in nature between sisters & UV-B sounds like solid tech. Power is on again ** - Dinner-time after 4 days. - Hole drilled in overhead corner-bracket, to help Centre the Light. - Plants have been rotated a bit, LST (lashing-some-timber lol) re-positioned a bunch of branches/stakes, meshing the two plants together, in the middle. nuf snapshots. details as the week-ends. -Nutrient ratios are Max’d as the volume will continue to climb for 2 more big feeds. -rapid-start & cal/mg have already been dialed back a bit. My watering volume per/24hr now shows my water use in metric. That # is based on the last 2 meals and I’m now looking at 5 days without nutes... 14th, Steady progress all the way round. Moving lights and supports as needed. Reach continues on the Right plant, while the Left continues to look amazing -molasses in next feed (Sat), TDS to be updated 15th -the volume of water my plants have been receiving, has been larger each of the last 4 feedings. Extra time between feeds has been allotted and watering based on Pot weight/dryness is keeping the plants Full and Green. -The next feed will be half the volume of the last one. The goal tomorrow (day 5 since last feed) is to immediately satisfy the plants nutritional needs with a small meal (7 litres/2), but then it’s going to scream for more food. This time I will wait only 2 days and return to the larger volume and a 4-5 day cycle. That’s the plan. Goal was to raise both the volume and demand for more nutrients. (Without creating a swamp) It’s been kind of patchwork getting the numbers-up, and this is the first pause in that steady climb. Both plants seem to be firing in all cylinders. Sun Jan17 - adding Molasses to each feeding from Week 5 on in to harvest. - 2 days since last half-feed. Big feed tonight and 5 day gap next. -Reached my Max H2o volume with solid Nutrition #’s. Plan is to hold levels for week 5/6 and then begin to taper nutes & volume slightly in 7/8 and hold till flush (11) & harvest (12/13) ** this grow is my best effort yet, if anybody sees or feels it’s getting “sideways”... I would love to hear about your opinion/concerns. ** The buds that are forming, actually have some substance to them. Tired of Indoor Popcorn. This grow is hapnin

Week 10! First week of flower! I was eager and may have jumped the plan I had the other day of waiting another week but after some sound advice from a few people that inspired me to flip them to flower and watch them flourish!! Day 1..fed fox farm trio with some added aloe vera, very little..won't add anymore from here on out..I added some peroxide as well!! I opened the tent this evening and they were praying up to the mary Jane gods!! Just what their daddy wants to see!! Let's get this smoke to the heavens for the loved ones!! Aye!!! Thanks again to everyone who inspires me and has helped me along the way! Oh and I ordered a trellis net so it should be set up in the coming days!! I was going to enter the solo cup challenge with the mini Starbucks cup you see but I didn't realize time was ticking and i may end up throwing her away unfortunately as I dont have a tent to put her in with a light set at the right hours or whatever!! She wouldn't survive on 12 12 or would she? Day 2 of flower - I opened the tent this morning and the girls are reaching for the sky even more! I forgot to mention I made some fresh Aloe Vera tea/juice for the last feeding I did before flipping to flower..next run I'm going to try not using aloe vera on one of my plants to see the differences..I feel the aloe vera has helped my girls alot but I'm not too sure!! I made a video on youtube about how I made it!! If you have some time and are interested in making your own... Day 3..I opened the tent and BAM!! These girls know how to make you feel good!! https://youtu.be/ud9Yi-F5HSQ ( one of my high school friends band is called Katastro, Andy Chaves..lead singer, passed away in a tragic car accident this past year and it's been really tough on everyone!! R.I.P Brobro! The link above is a song I listen to, it's helps me through on tough days and sometimes it helps me shed a much needed tear!! I'm here for anyone that is struggling..have a good day!! Day 4 of flower..Half way through the day I made the video above titled day 4 of flower..they are all looking happy but the Watermelon Zkittelz is really taking off!! If you have any advice please send it my way!! Day 5 of flower in the books. Plants look healthy, few minor adjustments next watering for one of the girls..but for the watermelon Zkittelz she's taking off like crazy!! Also I'm doing a SPIDAR FARMER SF1000 NEW YEARS GIVEAWAY (PURCHASED BY ME ) ON MY NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED COME CHECK IT OUT AND GIVE ME A LIKE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!! I FIGURED WHEN I UPGRADE MY LIGHT SET UP WHY NOT GIVE ONE AWAY TO ONE LUCKY WINNER!!

Smell of the plant is amazing. Smells like red Berries. Buds got huge and medium dense. I only harvested the 3 main buds as they are developed the most. The rest of the plant can stay for one more week. I Also removed some dead leaves.

📆 Semana 7 La Grease Monkey está en modo bestia esta semana. Los cogollos han seguido engordando con fuerza y cada vez se ven más densos y cubiertos de resina. Las flores principales ya empiezan a tener ese aspecto compacto y brillante que promete potencia, mientras que las hojas cercanas están totalmente salpicadas de tricomas, como si las hubieran rociado con azúcar glas. La alimentación sigue basada en XpertNutrients, sin cambios drásticos. Solo he ajustado mínimamente las proporciones para no frenar el ritmo que lleva. El riego sigue afinado al detalle: lo justo para mantener activa la microbiota del sustrato y evitar saturaciones. Los Adlite continúan haciendo un trabajo brutal. La penetración lumínica está ayudando a que incluso los cogollos de las zonas medias e inferiores mantengan una buena densidad. Todo el dosel está funcionando como una unidad, lo que se traduce en una floración muy equilibrada. Las condiciones ambientales siguen bajo control: 22-25 °C de temperatura, y humedad en torno al 55%. Estoy reforzando la ventilación para prevenir cualquier susto ahora que los cogollos empiezan a cerrarse más. El aroma se está volviendo todavía más intenso: una mezcla cremosa, dulce y con ese fondo diésel que le da el toque agresivo típico de esta genética. Los tricomas siguen lechosos en su mayoría, con alguna señal de maduración incipiente, pero aún no es momento de pensar en tijeras. Crecimiento firme, flores con presencia y resina a punta pala… ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Day 45 - Found the GC's main branch broken this morning. My error was tying it down too much. Never had plants so big so I'm still learning the best way to LST them in order to fit them in my closet. Takin the broke with philosophy: I never topped a plant, so I'm curious to see how she will develop from now and how much she will yield. Keep growing and learning every day 🙏🏼💪🏼🌱 Day 48 - Ladies are stretching much more every day, going to be two big girls 😋😋😋

Day 57. Think returning to good pH finally works, they are damaged a lot, but all first wave and few in this managed to escape almost without harm. Funky colours plants are most pickiest and that was proven again ... I always screw up with them ;))) Last heavy feed of Biobizz and only water. Max 3 weeks till chop and it doesn't matter if some won't be ready. My time to leave has come ... One Strawberry is making my heart sing, I knew SB will be special. I highly recommend her without even smoking ... Added few more photos to prove it. It's a big can and I am tall men, so this cola is NUTS ;) 9 week plant, I will chop her this Tuesday I think .... I have now 1400W in the grow room. Mars Hydro SP150 and SP3000 are in the game too. Hope it will rush girls a bit 😉😉😉😉😉😉 Those two totally frozen, white stem , almost dead girls - RECOVERED !!! Weed is insanely resilient plant. I know that it will be 5-10 g max, but still ... All branches white from frost, I saw such colours only when bud rot was eating them, those btw most probably doomed here too ... Happy Growing !!!

This week was ok nice short internode space and quite a little bushy plant .it's a shame about the little holes by the bugs I'm gonna try covering the soil with tin foil to stop them from coming out this is why I normally growing coco. I'm just feeding it some silica and root expander at the moment because the PPM in the soil is quite high but instead of flushing it which could over water the plants immediately I'm just going to let the plant eat it. it has showed no sign of burning or toxicity I've been mixing up soil for free years mainly for the outdoor flowers I thought I would give it a try in the soil but the PPM is hi not massively amount it's just about a thousand ppm but other than that all things are well . Thank you for looking at my diary and will be updating every week

Flowering! Return of the gnat issue this week. I am adding more gnat traps and adding a fan to point at the soil to dry it out. Lower leaves occasionally turn yellow and die off. About 5 a day. Still feeding RAW BLOOM at about 1.5tsps per gallon.

All in all every strain is doing great! Blueberry is the closes to finishing followed by chemdawg and lastly the Somango I just flipped little over a week ago so still have a little while to go with her! Blueberry has a pungent and fresh berries/citrus aroma going on while the chemdawg has the infamous og odor no doubt og is related to it haha. Thanks for checking it out!

Saturday 16-11-24 , Flowering day # 53 week 8. Harvest day! Cut branches off plants & hung the 2 front plants off the light. Put scrog net back in with a large flyscreen laying on top, & spread branches from the back plant over it. This allows complete air flow around the buds. Running a single oscillating fan beneath pointing to the bottom. Temperature is around 24°C & RH is 55%

🌱 Week 3: Mutant Magic—The Veggie Vibes Begin! 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! We’re officially cruising into Week 3 of veg with these Mentha de Croco mutants from @TerpyzGenetics, and WOW, they are stealing the show with their funky, unique traits. The diversity in their growth patterns, leaf shapes, and overall structure has me in awe every single day. It’s like watching a gallery of nature’s art come to life! 🌿✨ This week, I’m excited to share something extra special—a photo showcase capturing the magic up close, featuring some incredible macro shots of water drops and reflections. Plus, I’ve included a behind-the-scenes video to show you how these shots came to life, proving it’s all-natural and no digital effects! 🌟📸 Tent Life: Keeping It Steady This week’s conditions remain rock-solid, giving these beauties the stable environment they need to thrive: • Temperature: Holding steady to ensure smooth growth. • Humidity: Keeping it nice and high to encourage lush, healthy foliage. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED is still set at 200 PPFD, which is perfect for building strong, compact plants with tight node spacing. Consistency is the name of the game here, and it’s paying off beautifully. 🌟 Nutrition: Feeding the Funky Mutants 🌿 The feeding schedule this week continues with the amazing Aptus Holland organic-mineral lineup. Here’s the mix that’s keeping these plants healthy, happy, and thriving: • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): This is my go-to for fortifying cell walls and helping plants handle any environmental stress. It’s like a shield of armor for them! • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Calcium and magnesium are crucial for strong stems and vibrant, green growth—an absolute must for mutants showing off their unique structures. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): The backbone of the nutrition program, delivering a balanced diet of essential nutrients for steady, healthy development. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Packed with root-stimulating microbes and nutrients, this ensures the root systems stay strong and can support the impressive foliage growth above. Why I Love Aptus Holland: This organic-mineral line perfectly blends nature and science. It’s clean, efficient, and gives the plants exactly what they need without overloading or causing buildup. The results? Happy, resilient plants that thrive from root to tip. 🌱✨ Growth Highlights: The Funk Unfolds! 🌿 Each plant is starting to show off its unique traits, and I couldn’t be more excited. Mutant genetics like these are a grower’s dream, bringing surprises and individuality with every leaf that unfolds. I’m noticing: • Leaf Diversity: Wide blades, funky asymmetry, and new textures emerging. • Steady Growth: Compact, strong plants with great structure—perfect for setting up the next stages of training and growth. This week, I also took some time to capture the magic of these plants through photography. Using my trusty Sony and Nikon cameras, I snapped some macro shots featuring stunning water drops with beautiful reflections. These photos really showcase the intricate beauty of nature that’s so easy to overlook. 📸 Behind the Scenes: To top it off, I’ve included a video showing how these photos came to life. No tricks, no effects—just a little patience, the right light, and the magic of macro photography. It’s my way of sharing not just the plants’ journey but also the creativity and wonder that comes with it. 🌟 Grower Reflections & Tips 💡 💚 Observation is Key: Take time to really “read” your plants. Each one is unique, and mutants often need a little extra attention to their quirks. 🌱 Embrace Creativity: Whether it’s training techniques, feeding strategies, or photography, let your passion shine through—it’s all part of the journey. 💧 Steady Feeds, Happy Plants: The balance of Aptus Holland nutrients is keeping these plants perfectly happy without overfeeding. Light but consistent wins the race in these early stages! Shoutouts & Grower’s Love 💚 A big thank you to: • @Terpyz Genetics for these incredible, unique seeds. • @Aptus Holland for the nutrition line that keeps these mutants thriving. • @Future of Grow for the perfect lighting setup. • @Trolmaster for the best controls in the market. • @Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey with the grow fam. • And YOU—the amazing community that makes this all worthwhile. Whether you’re a follower, a fellow grower, or just stopping by, your energy means the world! Let’s keep celebrating these mutants and spreading positivity. Until next week… let’s grow, let’s grow, let’s grow! 🌱✨ Genetics - Mentha De Croco https://terpyz.eu/products/menta-de-croco-fern-type?_pos=1&_sid=e9237cbcb&_ss=r DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes @ terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.
