🌸 Mentha de Croco | Week 2 Flower (Week 13 from Seed) Grow Style: Indoor | Medium: Pro-Mix HP | Feed Program: Aptus Holland Clean Program | Genetics: Mentha de Croco by Terpyz Genetics Lighting: FOG LED Black Series | Controller: TrolMaster Photoperiod: 11/13 (Light/Dark) Camera: Sony A6000 capturing all the vibes ⸻ This week marks a major chapter in our Mentha de Croco mutant hunt: the second week of flower — and the official reveal of who’s who in the garden. As expected with regular seeds, we had both males and females, and this was the week we identified them all. From the original 12 beans, 5 revealed themselves as proud ladies while the rest — equally stunning in structure and expression — turned out to be males. 🌿 💚 Let’s talk about regular seeds and plant sex: Regular seeds are unsexed, meaning they can become either male or female. It’s a 50/50 genetic roll of the dice — and with unique mutant genetics like these, identifying sex isn’t always easy early on. Males typically show small pollen sacs, often referred to as “bananas” in their early stage. Females develop pistils, the first hairs of the flowers we’re after. Male plants, while beautiful and structurally fascinating (especially in this mutant project), can compromise a flowering room if left unchecked. Their pollen can fertilize female plants, leading to seeded buds — great if breeding, not great for clean flower. So, we say goodbye, thank them for their beauty, and move forward with the ladies to full bloom. The males? They’ll return to the earth as beautiful compost. 🌱✨ ⸻ This Week’s Feeding Schedule (Aptus Holland Clean Program): • Regulator – Strengthening cell walls and stress resistance • System Clean – Sanitizing the water lines (preventative, even if not in a system) • RO Water Conditioner – Prepping and balancing the base • All-in-One Liquid – Increased dose this week to 1.5 ml/L • Breakout Powder – Boosting early flower development • EC: 1.26 • pH: 6.0 • Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Update: All plants are now under SCROG netting — not because these particular girls needed it, but because they share the space with other cultivars. It’s all about harmony in the garden. The stretch is beginning, and the light intensity has been dialed up to match — PPFD around 800. We’re thrilled to see some early floral development already peeking through. The ladies are loving the new rhythm, and it’s clear they’re ready to shine in this next stage. ⸻ 📸 Captured Moments: This week’s shots include closeups of the male flowers for educational purposes, so the community can see what early male traits look like — especially in complex, mutant-style expressions. All captured with the Sony A6000 under those rich contrasts of dark and light. ⸻ 🙏 Shout Outs & Love: Much love and thanks to the brilliant minds at Terpyz Genetics for the wild beauty of these beans, Aptus Holland for the clean and powerful nutrition, TrolMaster for the precision control, and Future of Grow for the innovation we grow under. And of course — endless gratitude to the Grow Diaries community, the growers, the learners, the lovers and even the haters — it’s all energy, and it all fuels the passion. 💚 📲 Don’t forget to follow the journey on Instagram and YouTube — always sharing the love and the lessons 🌍 Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.

Almost to the finish line for most of these girls.Everytime I get near the tent it just smells so great and wow are they building up some trichomes.The buds are chunky and super dense now and finishing up in the coming days except for one plant that has been lagging along the whole grow.It is smaller with a massive center cola so I’ll let her grow as long as needed. Day 66 placing two of the Papaya cookies in the dark in another tent for 24-48 hours before I cut and hang them.

May, 8th I tried to do different Trainings on the Cookie-Plants the one on the Pictures is growing quite Wild with alot of laterals but atm i let her do the Thing The others have a more strict Growingregime✊ All Girls sit in amended Soilmix, ( EASY BOOST ORGANIC NUTRITION) so only Water and Beneficals for them waiting little before I start Floweringnutes

4/23/25 Beautiful plant. The fade is coming in nicely with purples and oranges. Not doing too much just keeping her happy while we get to the finish line. Top dressed with 1 tsp microbe charge and 2 tsp of bloom

Week 8 of veg she is looking good and green she’s really starting to stretch.

cant be happier with the results tbh!!!

Has a peper smell and taste was amazing

So far so good, Can anyone out there please advise if these are ready now or a few more days... Tis getting warmer now where I am. How hot is too hot for plants? Thanks in advance..

2 Semana de crecimiento, hay bastante diferencia en el tamaño con alguna ZEPA similar en recipiente de 7L, menos capacidad más tamaño, sin embargo color amarillento el cual demuestra un desajuste, creo que es exceso de fertilización y/o riego. Por ello estoy sin regar 3 días viendo el peso de las macetas, a veces regamos demasiado olvidándonos de que la plata todavía no desarrollo suficientes raíces como para absorber tal magnitud. Parece que van recuperando su verde intenso, sinonimo de Salud & Bienestar

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Runtz de ZamnesiaSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante cultivarla, no es a mi parecer complicada cultivarla y merece la pena si eres cultivador con o sin experiencia que busque sabores exóticos de genéticas calis Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí es todo

Had concerns over damping off towards start of the week as seedlings tall leggy and leaning over, reduced light height to 8 inches and increased power to 60%. Last time I grew autos the light was a lot lower and whilst good yield nice smoke they were very bushy and short and stocky so experimenting a little with light height this time to increase spacing between nodes, 20 inches was way too far, being careful though as lights 450w, brill light spider farmer but gotta watch power a bit. The drop in light height and introduction of small fan making the plants wobble slightly has dramatically improved their strength and thankfully no damping off. Extraction fan on permanently set to 1 or two so low settings, nice air flow. Also sealed a couple light leaks so plants are getting their restorative darkness for 6 hours a day and overall touch wood looking fit and healthy. Pleased with the amount of growth after two weeks. Very light touch with nutes and watering at mo, .4 litre daily with root juice and bio heaven promote healthy organic soil. Fingers crossed so far so good. Happy growing all. :)

Día 73 desde su nacimiento y ya se ha dejado de abonar hace un par de días para obtener resultados más limpios de residuos. El progreso está a la vista, flores muy densas que estaban doblando todas las ramas de esta planta por lo que tuve que agarrarla para ayudarlas a soportar el peso. El nivel de tricomas es impresionante y desprende una fragancia dulce bastante agradables por toda la casa. BUENOS HUMOS! 👽

Ehi ragazzi come va tutto bene? A me benone! Cosa posso dire, questa settimana ho raccolto la purple ed ora sta seccando, invece questa ragazza ha un odore speziato davvero intenso, appena mi avvicino e la sfioro l odore mi rimane impregnato e tutti in casa sanno che sono andato a prendermi cura delle mie bambine! Sembra che i fiori si stiano ingrossando abbastanza bene, sono proprio distribuite come delle pigne su un albero, il loro peso sta iniziando a farla piegare a destra e sinistra, per ora ho solo tentato di legare la cima principale in modo che nn si ribalti del tutto..😼 Ha davvero delle cime dense e mi aspetto grandi cose da questa nuova genetica premiata della Fastbuds, che sforna come sempre dei prodotti impressionanti!! 🤩 Devo ricordare che tutto questo non sarebbe possibile se non avessi una luce davvero pazzesca della Mars hydro che come sempre è grazie a lei che le ragazze danno il meglio di loro! Andate e compratela subito ve la consiglio caldamente ma perché davvero da dei risultati impressionanti, basta vedere i miei ultimi diari la differenza con quelli precedenti si nota! Grazie di tutto e buon 420 a tutti! Spero che i miei contenuti vi piacciano e continuate a seguirmi! 😼🙏😆🌱🌿🌲😻😻

So the start of flower is here 😌. I'm giving her a little worm casting, some cal-mag and a hint of PK booster. The cal-mag has N in it, so I'm hitting all my bases. I may put up a net to help rangle the multiple tops I have going. I'm going to give her a good defoliation at the end of the week jut expose those covered sites. Happy with the nutrients so far from Aurora Innovation : Soul line; players pack. No deficancys or issues as of yet and she is looking healthy

I don’t think I ever had white powdery mildew and I was just noid of every little dust particle that came around. All good. I’m now battling high temps as we don’t have central air and it’s mid 90s outside. Most likely about to buy an ac unit. LST seemed to go ok but we shall see. Overall very pleased w my results so far. Cheers
