🌿 Woche 22 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Die beiden Mentha de Croco entwickeln sich weiterhin prächtig 😍🌿. Die linke Pflanze ist mittlerweile ca. 2,14 m, die rechte sogar etwa 2,30 m hoch 📏🚀. Der Stretch der Haupttriebe ist über die letzten drei Wochen insgesamt eher gering ausgefallen, dafür haben die Seitentriebe ordentlich an Höhe zugelegt 🌱📈. Besonders die rechte Pflanze hat lange Seitentriebe entwickelt und wird dadurch immer buschiger 🌲. Die linke Pflanze ist in der Blütenentwicklung deutlich weiter, während die rechte ihren Schwerpunkt bisher eher auf das Wachstum der Seitentriebe gelegt hat 🌸. Diese Woche war das Wetter wieder typisch für den beginnenden deutschen Herbst 🍂🌧️. Es war kühl und regnerisch und an einigen Tagen gab es zusätzlich kräftige Windböen 🌬️. Ohne die Befestigung an der Regenrinne wären die beiden Riesen mit Sicherheit wieder umgefallen 💨. Bei über zwei Metern Höhe ist die Kombination aus Wind und der säulenartigen, schweren Pflanzenmasse einfach nicht zu unterschätzen 😅🌿. Besonders schön entwickelt sich das Bodenleben in den kleinen 30-Liter-Töpfen 🌱. Wenn man den Mulch etwas anhebt, findet man jede Menge Würmer und unterschiedlichstes Kleinstleben – genau so wünsche ich mir mein Living Soil 💚. Vor zwei Tagen habe ich noch einmal etwas Almicanna Kickflip als Topdress nachgelegt. Die Ladies sind mittlerweile ziemlich hungrig, was bei dieser enormen Pflanzenmasse und dem begrenzten Topfvolumen aber auch nicht wirklich überraschend ist 😄🍃. Ohne die regelmäßige Versorgung mit Komposttee, Fermenten und Topdress wären die Pflanzen meiner Meinung nach deutlich kleiner geblieben 💪🌱. Da die Blüten jetzt zunehmend an Masse gewinnen, werde ich nächste Woche an einigen Stellen etwas auslichten, um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und dem Schimmelrisiko im kommenden Herbst entgegenzuwirken ✂️🌬️. Gerade bei diesen riesigen Pflanzen möchte ich lieber rechtzeitig etwas vorbeugen, bevor das feuchte Herbstwetter richtig zuschlägt 🌧️🍂. Ich bin jedenfalls unglaublich gespannt, wie sich die beiden Phenos in den nächsten Wochen weiter auseinanderentwickeln werden 😍🌸. 🌿 Week 22 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 The two Mentha de Croco plants continue to develop beautifully 😍🌿. The left plant is now approximately 2.14 m, while the right one has reached around 2.30 m 📏🚀. The stretch of the main branches has been relatively limited over the past three weeks, but the side branches have really taken off vertically 🌱📈. This is especially noticeable on the right plant, which has developed some long side branches and has become much bushier 🌲. The left plant is clearly further ahead in flower development, while the right pheno has focused much more on developing its massive side branches so far 🌸. This week brought typical early German autumn weather 🍂🌧️. Temperatures were cooler, there was plenty of rain, and we also had some strong wind gusts on certain days 🌬️. Without the plants being secured to the rain gutter, these two giants would almost certainly have tipped over again 💨. At over two meters tall, the combination of wind and their heavy, upright structure is definitely something to take seriously 😅🌿. The soil biology in these relatively small 30-liter pots is looking fantastic 🌱. Whenever I lift the mulch, I can see plenty of worms and all kinds of tiny soil organisms underneath – exactly what I want to see in my Living Soil 💚. Two days ago, I added another Almicanna Kickflip top dress. The ladies are getting pretty hungry now, which isn’t particularly surprising considering the enormous amount of biomass they’re supporting in such limited pot volume 😄🍃. Without regular feeding with compost tea, ferments and top dress, I believe these plants would have ended up significantly smaller 💪🌱. With the flowers now starting to gain more mass, I’ll have to do some selective thinning next week to improve airflow and reduce the risk of mold as autumn progresses ✂️🌬️. With plants this large, I’d rather take some preventative action before the wet autumn weather really sets in 🌧️🍂. I’m incredibly curious to see how these two phenotypes will continue to diverge over the coming weeks 😍🌸.

Still some minimal LST. Lots of tops. One plant super purple in color. Other plant still green and no purple at all. Huge difference in the plants though. One is lighter in color, taller, and slimmer. The other is dark green, shorter, and fatter. Both doing amazing. Added 2 new plants in the tent this week. All are loving life!

week 9 was a good week I watch my pollen sacks grow into beautiful pods cant wait to use it plant doing pretty good health and strong

This run didnt went the way I expected, loosing half tent yield because that freack plant (46 gr) frostiest and densest the the big one though, well thats life Overall very happy with bud quality

Week 2 is going well. I hoped for more stretch but they still have time. I'll do a good defole within the next week and remove anything taking from prime nuggets 🤣

Start of week 4, the blueberries had major bud growth during week 3 and they filled in nicely. There are a few signs of deficiency in the larger fan leaves, but overall I'm very happy with how the blueberries are growing. The Super Lemon Haze is showing signs of deficiencies, she's also hungrier than the blueberries, she got an extra 2 liters of nutes at 1/4 mute strength, the last two weeks. She may require full strength nutes in the extra feeding, to help with the deficiencies. Still, bud site development is coming along nicely on the SLH.

Amazon jungle 💁‍♂️

Buds are becoming big. Decreased nutrients. Will flush next week. Can't wait to dry and taste...

Es hat sich viel getan. Das Wetter war gut. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und die Temperaturen sind teilweise extrem (40 Grad / 25 %Luftfeuchtigkeit). Die Pflanzen stört es soweit nicht. Die Auto Orange hat den Anfang gemacht. Mittlerweile (Tag 36) zeigen alle ihre Vorblüte. Die Auto Orange sind beide um die 60 cm. Die Lemon Kix sind alle sehr groß geworden. Da kratzen 2 an die 90 cm. Sie fangen auch an zu riechen. Der Wasserbedarf steigt auch. Giessen muss ich alle zwei Tage. Batboost bekommen sie bei jedem mal. Bloom wird bei jedem 2 Mal gegeben. Ein gewisses LST habe ich durchgeführt. Die Pflanzenbieger kann ich höchstens 2 Tage dran lassen. Sind sie länger dran brechen mir die Triebe am Bieger. Wahrscheinlich wäre das runter binden und am Topf befestigen die beste Option.

These ladies are doing amazing things and swelling up day by day. Smells so sweet 🌿💚

DAY 34 of flower🌸🌼 TALL PHENO BEST PHENO BY FAR

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 We'll got progress going! Pictures taken on day 42 of flower. The smell is something that i'm loving. Although one smells stonger and sweeter than the other, they both are smelling great. I had my doubts about the nugs not being big or hard but it seems like the green sensation is doing it's job. There's been a good progress since i've started using Green Sensation. Glad to see that. In flower I feed with only water and 2ml/L of enzymes. Once about 10 days. Resin prodcution has gone up, buds are denser and a bit bigger. Which is good given that most of the pistils are still white and they fatten up more when they rippen. As long as things keep a stable progress, i think i'm good.

End of Week 3 of Flower, lots of buds showing, trichomes developing, stretching for the light. Layed of the Flora Gro and micro this watering. Added a drop per gallon of Superthrive. Light defoliation as well to open up inner bud sights.

During this first week of vegetative growth, the seedling has slightly stretched more than expected, but this is not a problem since when I transfer it into the larger pot, I will bury the stem. 🌱 I haven't started giving nutrients yet because, as already mentioned, the substrate I use has them for the first few weeks, in fact the leaves seem to me to be a nice bright green. ✔️ I proceeded to mount a small fan on the side of the tent to create recirculation of air and make the stems of the seedlings take some strength. 💨 For now the main tent is occupied by the flowering phase of other plants so for the first few weeks I will leave the seedlings in the closet with smallest led light. 💡 (link below) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B08P2G1VQW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&th=1

Getting there... cant wait for Spring Walls are up and painted, floor is laid, electrical all done, exhaust outlets mounted. Ive started to install the trim - I decided to put a grey stain instead of boring paint on the floor trim boards. Looks really solid against the dark bamboo floors. I used two gallons and two coats of flat pure white paint for walls and ceiling. Should give me a reflectivity somewhere around 80%. Some may ask why not opt for mylar? I just dont like the look. I dont care too much for reflectivity, as I will be well above the required watts/sqft with the light setup I will be using. I mounted an electrical receptacle in the ceiling, I thought it may come in handy for cord management. Im going to mount the 3 x meanwell drivers outside of the grow room and run some extra long cables to them. This is to keep heat out of the room, any little bit helps. Will be running a 8inch fan with about 750 CFM in order to properly vent the room. Intake will be a door vent and the negative pressure the fan provides. Odor is not too much of a concern, but may as well add a carbon filter. Tables to be built this week after trim is installed Week 1 Spend - $2080 Week 2 Spend - $350 (mostly on hardware store visits) Total so far - $2430
