📆 Semana 8 La Mentha de Croco se acerca a su punto clave de maduración, afinando cada detalle antes del cierre. Los cogollos siguen compactándose y ganando peso, cubriéndose con una capa de resina más gruesa y brillante. Los pistilos continúan anaranjándose y los cálices empiezan a hincharse, señal de que la planta está entrando en su fase más madura. El aroma se intensifica aún más: dulce, fresco y con ese toque mentolado que ahora destaca al mínimo roce. La estructura sigue limpia y aireada, sin humedad acumulada, y los riegos se ajustan al milímetro para mantener el equilibrio justo antes del lavado. 🌸 Última semana de engorde real: terpenos, resina y maduración afinándose para un final perfecto. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Only 3 out of 8 turned out to be females. 5 male ones were culled a week ago. 💀 Today I transplanted them to final - 26L - fabric pots and moved into flowering 4x4 ft tent under Mars Hydro FC 4800 (466W). They get around 650 μmol/m²/s for now - will crank it up in a few days. I used Canna Terra Professional substrate - as always. After they get accustomed to new pots I'll flip them to flower - in about a week. 👌

Day 10F-17F (Day 10F) Everything is looking on point. I’m going to soak in a gallon of lite compost tea diluted to 400ppms on each plant except for #5. I’m still a little worried I won’t make it through the stretch but at the same time I fear N toxicity just as much. I will give one more lite tea before the end of stretch, most likely at the end of this week. (Day 12F) Ladies responded nicely to the tea except for BBB#1. It just isn’t looking as vigorous as it was last week. It’s the only one without an air hose so I guess it couldn’t hurt to grab one. The air hose does without a doubt prevent overwatering in soil and I’m surprised I don’t see more people using it. It’s cheap, effective and gives me similar results to growing in pure coco. I’m going to give one more light foliar spray of 3ml of calmag, 3ml of kelp and 2.5ml of insect frass. (Day 14) Got the air hose hooked up to all 5 plants now. I hate that I’ve been forced to defoliate so much in early flower and it is definitely reducing bud size. Last round my bbb’s had pistil clumps twice the size at this time and they were dealing with severe deficiencies. I’m hoping it’s just genetics or the fact they are larger plants. (Day 15) I’m starting to see signs of N toxicity on the some of the new growth and overall growth on all plants except #1 has slowed. It was most likely caused by the foliar spray/tea combo. No more feeding anything for the next 12 days at least. Luckily it’s still pretty early in flower but I know that N tox can hit really hard after the stretch stops. I would be pretty upset if I vegged for 80 days only to get severe N tox in mid flower. Since it’s not breaking down in the soil, I should be fine. I’m going to defoliate some more of the large bottom fan leaves as they hold large reserves of extra nutes I don’t need. Hopefully these small defoliations aren’t stressing them at all. Next round I plan to do a big strip one week before flower, at transplant and a second big strip on day 21. (Day 17) I think I was over-worrying about the seriousness of the N tox. I’ve seen it hit very hard in mid flower and can’t be too careful. It’s almost always caused by water soluble nitrogen so I’ll try to stay away from that unless I absolutely need it. My case does not look to alarming just yet. I noticed the stunting on #3 right after that last tea so I am going to stop giving the last liter of compost tea because of how unbalanced and separated at the bottom it is. It sure helped out the other 4 plants that didn’t get the granulars from the bottom of the bucket. I‘m planning to give a bloom tea around day 26 and a final top dress a few days later. #1 has now out stretched everything else in the tent. I honestly was not expecting that. If #3 didn’t get stunted this whole week I think it would be the taller/heavier plant.

Another great week! The Z-Up is producing increasingly dense buds and is already so frosty, I love it. One more week of big buds, then it's slowly coming to an end. It smells so strongly of lemon, it's incredible what amazing flavors this phenotype is developing.

Entre la semana pasada y esta pasaron muchas cosas.. Tuve un problema con acaros que me termino costando algunas plantas jovenes, a las cuales sustitui por unos clones

My wicking system managed to make it through the week. I was gone, but was showing signs of underwater Ing as soon as I returned from vacation. After inspection, it appears the roots suffocated the medium from the wicking chords which stopped the uptake of water at a substantial enough speed for the plant. I have been top watering since keeping the medium moist And the plants have responded well. Light intensity and nutrients have been ramped so far the plants have responded very well. I will continue to push them on the upper end of safe limits for nutrients and light through to the end of the grow to try to maximize yield. Forbidden Runtz has a garlic type smell, possibly mixed with some BO/armpit. Papaya Cookies is very mild in smell even though it appears more mature so far. Hopefully both continue to thrive under the current conditions.

Day 85. Girl lost fight to bud rot .... Happy Growing !

Deep Forest had a ph bottom out a few days ago. She was flushed and corrected. She has started to give off a good citrus aroma. She is starting to put some weight on. Everything should be good now.

Die Blüten entwickeln sich ohne Probleme

Aug 15: Godfather OG is maturing nicely with a nice 16 cola manifold and nice thick buds starting to fill in. I thought this one might not like the climate here (cool nights) but she is doing great. Here at 53 N latitude the sunlight, particularly UV light, drops quickly after mid-August. i use UV lights from AC Infinity on days with no chance of rain. Seems to help and is easy to setup and teardown daily. These are indoor lights so they need extra attention if you’re ignoring their lawyer warnings and are using them outdoors. 😎

Day 50 - Starting week 8 today and she’s looking beautiful. She definitely not as big as I was expecting but she’s really starting to fatten up, looking and smelling amazing. Can’t wait for these last couple weeks for her to finish and chop her. Day 51 - All is looking good and hoping by the end of week 10 she’ll be ready or close to ready for chopping. Starting to get milky trichomes but still quite a few clear. The next couple weeks are gonna be fun to watch her fatten up more. Day 52 - She definitely looking good and getting a lot of milky trichs but there’s still a bit of time before she’s ready to chop, at least that’s what I’m thinking. Might do a split harvest if she calls for it but hoping she’ll be ready by week 10 or 11 at the latest. Just need her to fatten up a bit in the middle. Day 53 - Gave her a feeding of water today and continuing to watch her fatten each day. She’s starting to get really frosty and smelly and I’m loving it! Excited for the last few weeks. Day 54 - All is looking good still and it’s like this girl is almost turning into one big giant frosty bud and couldn’t be happier with how easy she’s been to grow so far. Right now she’s almost 100% milky trichs and looks like she still has a little more time to go still. I’m going for a little more couch lock so need those ambers to start showing up. Day 55 - All is looking good still, just watching her fatten up everyday. Day 56 - Last day of week 8 and she’s smelling sooo sweet and getting frostier everyday. Thinking about just giving her pH’d water from here on out. I’m guessing another week or two and she should be finishing up but just gonna continue watching trichs. Waiting for them to start turning amber. Still a few clear in there but not many, mostly all cloudy now.

Very satisfying very Sticky as heck. Smells already only few wk into flower.. She is going to be very strong.. Love it

Plants are maturing this week but are yet to put on more weight.. .However they are good size already! One bud on my Banana Krumble is mutated and I am not sure what it is?
