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.

Farbenpracht. Meine 2te DNA Erfahrung. Und ich bin begeistert.

F1 for this mad dog, will turn to flowering in a couple of days. This plant is growing super strong and fast, biggest of the bunch, I'm trying to keep her from stretching, want to flowr them short and bushy. Hopefully they go through flowering just fine.

Good morning, day 48 of flower and this will probably be the last update until I chop them. Getting boring for me so I’m sure it’s getting boring for you all! The girls just got plain water 2x last week- no need for anything else at this point as the fade has become quite serious. The smell has really increased along with the size and density of the buds, sometimes I get a candy shop smell and other times I get a tropical fruit scent! Trichs are roughly 50/50 clear and cloudy so I’ll just be checking once a day until I get a tad of amber! Thanks for reading

All is going well so far in this grow. She seems to be avoiding the sohum and keeping her roots in the happy frog. Wish I had added perlite to the sohum first to make watering easier. Using a spray bottle to moisten the soil first seems to help with watering.

Día 75 y último de vida para esta hermosa nena. Me encuentro disfrutando de la manicura y hermosa cosecha que estoy obteniendo con esta planta, mi casa está impregnada por una fragancia dulce con toques tangie. Ahora cortaré por ramas y colgaré en la carpa de cultivo donde se secará por aproximadamente 10 días con humedad y temperatura controlada. Esperaré a curar y probar bien todos esos terps para poder dar un buen informe de cosecha pero hasta ahora todo se ve muy bien! Buenos Humos 👽

Gorilla Zkittles is looking the strongest and biggest so far but all 7 seem pretty healthy. Best smells coming from the Purple Strawberry Sherbert, wow something else🤤🤤🤤 the temperatures are dropping and nighttime’s are soon gonna be to cold in my little room. Possibly another timed heater to go in there to come on as the lights fade. Humidity almost under control i think I should be able to keep the tent at or around 50% fingers crossed, but that’s another few pence on electricity😕.

Another week of epic growth: the Haze sisters put on 20cm, and their myriad buds grew considerably, though I worry that I have allowed far too many buds to form - each plant has several dozen, which I suspect may stunt their growth?

Eccoci qui... Questa varietà mi lascia a bocca aperta è gigante!!! Sono rimasto molto colpito da come pur avendola messa giù da seme sia avanti in fioritura come i cloni con 53 giorni alle spalle!!!!! Sono curioso di questa bellezza, e come in tutti i diari SI INIZIA CON I VIDEO. Grazie a @KhalifaGenetics per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Semaine 2 - Phase Végétative : Journal de Culture pour la Dognabis Cup (Concours DogDoctor)Strain : Jealousy Diesel Auto (OctoGenetica) Système de culture : Super Soil (mélange enrichi, Aptus adapté) Nutrition : Aptus (programme organique pour Super Soil, EC naturelle ~1.8-2.0 mS/cm) Éclairage : 1000W full spectrum, contrôlé par Trolmaster Tent X (augmentation progressive de 10 PPFD par semaine) Contrôle environnemental : Total via Trolmaster (climat, lumière, CO2, VPD) Objectif global : Développer une base solide pour une autoflo robuste, maximiser les têtes en tenant compte du rythme rapide de l'auto. Salut la team DogDoctor et la communauté Dognabis Cup ! Voici le journal de ma semaine 2 en végé pour ma Jealousy Diesel Auto d’OctoGenetica. Cette auto pousse déjà comme une dingue – typique des genetics rapides – avec des tiges qui se renforcent et des feuilles qui s’élargissent bien. Le Super Soil avec Aptus donne une explosion de vert, et malgré un pH encore un peu capricieux en début de semaine, tout s’est stabilisé. Objectif : construire une structure dense avant que l’auto ne bascule en flo d’elle-même (prévu vers semaine 4-5). État des PlantesLes Jealousy Diesel Auto sont en mode turbo : hauteur moyenne 10-12 cm, avec 3-4 nœuds visibles. Les racines explorent bien le Super Soil, et la couleur feuille est un vert profond grâce à l’apport naturel des nutriments. Pas de LST/FIM cette semaine – je laisse l’auto s’exprimer naturellement pour l’instant, mais je surveille pour un éventuel topping léger si un dom domine trop. L’humidité du sol (moyenne 90%) est parfaite, avec un drainage au top via les billes d’argile en surface. Pas de signes de sur-arrosage ou carences – l’EC naturelle du Super Soil (1.9 mS/cm) suit bien la demande. Environnement et ContrôlesTrolmaster tient tout en main : température stable autour de 24°C (cible), humidité à 70% (idéal pour végé), CO2 maintenu à 900 PPM pour booster la croissance. VPD à ~0.9 kPa, parfait pour éviter le stress hydrique. Lumière augmentée de 10 PPFD (passée à ~669 PPFD moyen), et les graphs montrent une belle régularité. Pour l’arrosage : cycles manuels adaptés au Super Soil (1-2 arrosages/jour, ~500 mL par plante), avec pH ajusté à 6.1 après des débuts instables (5.9-6.3). Température de la zone racinaire à 17.8°C, bien ventilée.

Ajustements manuels avec Aptus pH Down, stabilisé à 6.1 fin semaine. Arrosage : Réduit légèrement les volumes (de 600 à 500 mL) pour éviter l’excès d’humidité – sol reste à 90% de mousture, parfait. Croissance auto : Pas d’intervention lourde (LST/FIM) pour l’instant – l’auto pousse vite, je surveille pour un topping si besoin semaine prochaine. Objectifs Semaine 3Augmenter lumière : +10 PPFD (cible ~679 PPFD). Maintenir EC naturelle (~2.0 mS/cm) et pH (6.0-6.2). Tester un léger LST si un dom prend le dessus, sans stresser l’auto. Suivi VPD

Also a fastbuds purple lemonade in a 11 litre pot (30grams)a a original cheese in a 2 litre pot(experimenting)which is not ready yet. Strawberry pie.....wow so impressed with the yield but also the looks are amazing and smells like strawberries... who’d of thought it lol. Recommend to everybody will defo grow again. Fastbuds are killing the auto game!👊🏻

So I'm Upset That She Didn't End Up Being A Mutant! ABC AND STEALTH FIGHTER COMBINED AND IT DECIDED TO GO WITH MORE STABLE GENES 😆 Don't Worry Some Mutants Did Pop In Other Parts Of My Garden I'll Make A Journal Soon! For Now We Will Just Pray This Is A Girl! She Due For Her Topping Today! She Exploded Once She Had Some Roots And I Blacked Out The Glass With Painters Tape! So We Flip Very Very Soon! One More Week! This May Not Look Like Much, But Considering Her Constraints, It's A LOT! TERRA POWER!

D-77 : Girls are going well and they are beautyful but, they are growing alot less than expected. They are 30cm behind they should be. I hope it is because of all the effort I made on the mainlining process at the beginning....
