🌱 Germination Journey with Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! Today kicks off an exciting adventure with Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco genetics. I’ve got 10 regular seeds ready to sprout, and I’m looking forward to discovering some beautiful female phenotypes—and maybe even a standout male for potential future breeding. It’s been a while since I’ve worked with regular seeds, so I’m thrilled to dive in! Germination Process Overview: Here’s a step-by-step rundown of the germination setup and process, with a special focus on the equipment and nutrients that are helping these seeds thrive right from the start. Step 1: TheCannaKan Germination Pod 🌱 For germination, I rely on TheCannaKan—a device I’ve come to love and trust. It’s designed to create the perfect microclimate for seed germination, and within just 24 hours, the seeds started showing signs of life. By the 32-hour mark, they were all ready to be transferred to the next stage! I can’t recommend this gadget enough for anyone serious about getting strong, early growth from their seeds. • Why TheCannaKan? • Humidity Control: Ensures seeds stay hydrated without oversaturation. • Stable Temperature: Maintains an even temperature around the seeds, so there’s no shock or stalling. • Enhanced Oxygenation: Keeps fresh air circulating, helping prevent mold and ensuring seeds don’t suffocate. Step 2: Transfer to Root Riots & Aptus Holland Supplements 💧 Once the seeds were sprouted, I transferred them into Root Riots, known for their excellent water retention and structure that encourages strong root growth. Root Riots also have a pH-balanced, spongy texture that makes it easy for roots to penetrate, promoting sturdy, healthy root systems. At this stage, I started using Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster at 1ml/L each. Here’s why I chose these products for early growth: • Aptus Regulator (1ml/L): Helps strengthen the plants against environmental stresses by supporting cell wall structure. It’s a fantastic choice for giving young seedlings an early boost in resilience. • Aptus Startbooster (1ml/L): This product provides essential microbes and nutrients that stimulate root growth and early plant vigor. Especially for regular seeds, the early root development makes a noticeable difference in later growth stages. Step 3: Lighting with Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD 💡 For lighting, I’m using a Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED. For the germination stage, I’ve dimmed it to around 200 PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density), which provides just enough light for healthy, strong seedling growth without overwhelming them. • Why Low Intensity? • 200 PPFD ensures that young plants aren’t exposed to too much light, which could cause stress or stunting. This level of intensity is perfect for encouraging healthy development without risking “stretching.” • The FOG LED provides a balanced spectrum tailored to plant growth, setting up these young sprouts for success as they grow. Step 4: Environmental Control with TrolMaster Tent X Controller 📲 For monitoring and control, I’m using the TrolMaster Tent X Controller, which lets me dial in every aspect of the environment to make sure these little ones have the perfect conditions for germination and early growth. • TrolMaster Benefits: • Precision Control: Adjust temperature, humidity, and lighting all in one place. • Notifications: Sends updates in real-time to my device, so I can make adjustments as needed without being physically present. • Consistency: Maintains stable conditions around the clock, reducing stress on seedlings and ensuring they’re thriving. Grow Tips & Reflections: Germination is one of the most crucial stages in a plant’s lifecycle. Starting with strong genetics like Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco, combined with a solid germination setup and the right nutrients, creates the foundation for a successful grow. 💡 Quick Tips for Fellow Growers: • Hydration Balance: Don’t oversaturate! Moisture levels should be high enough for the seeds to sprout but not so wet that they drown. • Light Management: A low PPFD for young seedlings prevents stretch and keeps nodes tight, preparing them for a healthy vegetative phase. • Environment Consistency: Use a reliable controller like the TrolMaster Tent X to manage your settings, and consider monitoring tools for real-time adjustments. Shout Outs to the Community: Big thanks to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED lights, and TrolMaster for the amazing controller. Also, shout out to all of you in the growing community—you make this journey exciting and filled with endless learning. Let’s keep growing and sharing together! That’s it for the germination update! Next up, I’ll be monitoring growth closely to identify strong females (and maybe a standout male for breeding). Stay tuned for updates on our Mutant Mentha de Croco adventure—this is just the beginning!

DE: In der siebten Blütewoche drehen beide Last Dance-Phänotypen noch einmal richtig auf – alles wirkt reifer, intensiver und massiver als zuvor. Die Struktur verdichtet sich spürbar, die Knospen schwellen weiter an, werden fester und schimmern immer stärker im Trichom-Überzug. Die Pflanzen wirken, als hätten sie genau jetzt ihren finalen Gang eingelegt. Phänotyp 1 – Der „Black Magic Funker“ Dieser Phäno zeigt jetzt eine derbe Reifephase: Die Farben vertiefen sich in ein dunkles Waldgrün bis purpurne Schatten, die besonders an den Sugar Leaves sichtbar werden. Die Buds wirken schwer und kompakt, jeder einzelne Kelch scheint sich maximal aufgebläht zu haben. Der Harzfilm ist mittlerweile so dick, dass selbst die Blattkanten weiß überzogen wirken. Aromatisch hat der Funk jetzt ein neues Niveau erreicht: Schwere, gassige Noten treffen auf dunkelbeerige Würze. Beim leichten Reiben der Buds steigt dir direkt dieser „Black-Magic-Punch“ in die Nase – schwer, tief, fast schon betäubend. Genau diese Phase entscheidet oft, ob ein Cut später eine *Elite-Vibrationsnote* bekommt – und dieser Phäno hat diese Energie ganz klar. Phänotyp 2 – Der „Zangria Dream“ Der fruchtigere Phäno geht jetzt optisch und aromatisch voll im Zangria-Spektrum auf. Die Buds glänzen mit deutlich sichtbaren Lilatönen, teilweise sogar leicht pinken Akzenten zwischen den Kelchen. Das Gesamtbild wirkt ästhetisch, süß und absolut fotogen. Aroma-Update in Woche 7: Die Süße wird dicker, saftiger, konzentrierter. Was vorher ein frischer Beerenton war, erinnert jetzt eher an eine Mischung aus Trauben-Limonade, Kirschsirup und reifem Tropenfrucht-Funk. Die Intensität steigt deutlich – schon beim Öffnen des Zelts kommt dir eine süß-fruchtige Wolke entgegen. Gesamteindruck Blütewoche 7: Die Pflanzen stehen unter voller Last. Die Buds sind geschwollen, schwer und kleben aneinander wie Harzbomben. Die Farben intensivieren sich, die Trichome werden milchiger und beginnen leicht amberfleckig zu werden – ein Hinweis, dass die Finishing-Phase eingeläutet ist. Beide Phänotypen zeigen jetzt kristallklar ihre Richtung: Phäno 1: tief, funky, gassig, schwer – brutal potent. Phäno 2: süß, fruchtig, saftig – komplex und extrem angenehm. Woche 7 ist die Phase, in der du merkst: Das hier sind keine normalen Seeds – das sind echte Showcase-Phänotypen. EN Week seven marks a full power surge for both Last Dance phenotypes – everything becomes denser, louder, heavier. The buds swell visibly, resin production is immense, and the plants look like they're entering their final, most expressive stretch. Phenotype 1 – The “Black Magic Funker” The colors deepen into dark green with shadowy purples. The nugs are rock-solid, swollen, and completely coated in frost. The aroma intensifies massively: heavy gas, dark berries, deep spicy funk. It’s that unmistakable “Black-Magic punch” that hits you the moment you touch it. Phenotype 2 – The “Zangria Dream This one shows bright lilac tones and pinkish accents between the calyxes. The sweetness thickens and becomes syrupy – grape soda, cherry nectar, tropical candy funk. Opening the tent releases an unmistakably fruity cloud. Overall Week seven brings explosive swelling, richer colors, milky trichomes, and a terpene expression that makes both phenos feel like true elite candidates.

*****Week 14 growth – March 6 to 12, 2021 – Week 5 flower ****** These girls are certainly different from one another. Pheno 1 has a more bushy appearance and Pheno 2 is lighter in color and more bud swelling at the tops. Expect to see some nice colors come out in #2😃 In the end......it’s about the smoke😂👍🔥 Bud Fusion being introduced this week. Into the last phase of feeding during flower now. Nitrogen is continued to be reduced as its late flower. Keeping up the feeding ppm this week as we are getting to the end. May be pushing them a little more than I should but finding out how they react for next run. Still continuing to play with the light intensity and seeing how the girls react to my environment conditions when pushed harder. Could have backed off and stayed with 100, 300, 600, 900 PAR levels at the different stages but I have trying to go a little higher in the late stages and going over 1,000 PAR. Little more detail….. Mar 6/21, Day 29 - Dry out day - Changed light cycle to 11/13 today to help with light intensity and reducing DLI. - Light power reduced to 425 watts Mar 7/21, Day 30 - Keeping up the feeding but reducing nitrogen. - feeding with micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 1, B Storm – 2, S Storm – 2.5, Bud Fusion 0.15gr/l, Terp – 1.5, Jet Fuel – 0.5, Rezin 1 - 1150ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 8/21, Day 31 - Watering with 2L feed from yesterday and 16L plain water - Over shot the pH - 400ppm and 5.9pH Mar 9/21, Day 32 - Feeding again with Grow – 0.5, Micro – 1, Bloom – 1.5, Carbs – 1, Magnifical – 1 - Didn’t add many of the supplements - 875ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 10/21, Day 33 - Middle of the week and just giving some enzymes today - Enzymes – 1.5ml - 300ppm and 6.1pH - 4L Mar 11/21, Day 34 - Microbes again today - Tap water with Jet Fuel – 1ml, Terpinator – 2ml, Nature’s Candy – 1.5ml, Rezin – 1ml, Ultimate B+ - 0.5ml, Recharge – 1tsp/gal - 800ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 12/21, Day 35 - Dry out day - Been feed a couple of times this week so work with ¾ strength next week.

This week I let the plants rest a bit from last week's lst and topping. They have responded very well I am going to train them a little more until the whole tent is full. This week I am going to lower the lamp a bit and give some more nutrition to the plants within a week or two I will switch them to flowering period.

2018-11-19 Flowering in full swing. Pulling slows down. In the morning, on the day of the compote replacement, my PPM-meter broke down. Therefore, the new solution was kneaded by eye. Tomorrow a new device will arrive and I will clarify what I have mixed there. 2018-11-24 Buds swell, there is time to figure out how to do time lapse video.

Week 3 well under way! This week started off with some LST on Day 13/14, and some "HST" sprinkled in for good measure (removed the node pointing down after training). i also removed one Fan leave that would overshadow the lower outwards-trained node on every plant. So far, they've been responding well, though i also must add im not really overdoing it with the LST, i'm mainly just looking to get 2 main branches instead of one. Still learning! Watered on 24/02 with 1L of PH 5.8 water, 2.5 ml/l grow, 4 ml/l rootjuice. seeing some minimal signs of what i would diagnose as nuteburn on some of the newer shoots on some plants. so ill keep the dosage right where it is, only fading out rootjuice over the next 1-2-3 waterings, depending on how i feel lol 01/03 Watered with 1 L, 5ml/L grow, 4 ml/L rootjuice, 1.6 EC, 5.9PH 02/03 Scrogged

Love the smell to the touch on this girl smells so fruity and sweet at the moment and has so many bud sites like her sister north thunderfuck only 2 I’m doing with rqs organic nutrients and boosters! I tend to have to feed them less especially this one what’s potted in an 11L rqs fabric pot! Letting these 2 flower for 56 days and then flush! Ppms again are only in the booster feed cannot tell you what they’re getting from the soil added feed but it’s doing wanders!

Yeah Lance is definetly recovering. Fascinating how this stunned him, and he and Frank are now so far apart, but same strain, same soil, same everything. Mr. Pipi will see how Lance turns out. I´m still hoping for good and quick recovery. First Pistils showed up on all the plants on Day 23. So in the next one or two Weeks Mr. Pipi expects the Flower to start. Endspurt Sportsfreunde. So as we can see in the Video Pedro is the tallest, and his overall structure is Mr. Pipis favorite, for now. Not so bushy as the Bloody Skunks but we´ll have to see what the Stretch says. The opportunity was given to tie Pedro´s main stem down. So Mr. Pipis canope stays around the same level. Initally I wanted to not manipulate them, but that´s what Mr. Pipi loves in growing. You watch´em and if you bond enough with your plants, you´ll know what to do. be in a symbiosis. But dont use Pipi on your plants.

On day 70 they both went down. The trichomes showed the were ready. The last week I kept the girls in the shade a bit during the day. We´ve had temperatures close to 40 degrees C. I didn´t want to expose them to too much heat.

Week 8 Looking absolutely huge😂 They’re so tall and wide . Lots of healthy green leaves and strong roots. I was worrying a lot about sex issues as when I did my research I found out they’re quite common to hermaphrodite. Was really worrying but all calyx’s have female signs (so far🙏🏻) so pray for me brothers&sisters.

Doing some light defoliation to remove dying fan leaves and to expose the basement bud sites. I started the week with one last light feeding, and then I'm going with only water from here on out. Fingers crossed all goes well. 😎🌵
