Started flushing this one. Gave her a good 10 gallon flush to start and she will get 5 gallons of RO water per day for 10 days or so. Took a couple early samples.

🌸 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.

This week I've started flush, did a Chem change out and using flawless finish for flush. I'm a little disappointed with the grow due to no adequate light towards the bottom so it looks like I have a lot of popcorn nugs. Next grow I will try mainlining and have multiple stems really lolipopped. Maybe introduce some co² .

Well almost hitting 5th week of Bloom!! Theyre getting frost everyday im very happy with this strain

Flowering nicely, starting to stack a little already. Did a 50% defoliation and removal today. going to remove some more popcorns and climate blockers tommorow. There are allot of tops. I have to train myself on training plants better to dial in how many cola tops i want and get them at the same height. Not a strong smell coming off but when you smeel the fingers , Ooohhh its so smooth ans sweet. This is looking like its going to be a big year for the tent. I am liking the Canna nutes. Delay after delay on dripper setup i am now puttin three more valves in for flushing off flush water reservoir, just waiting for parts and assembly. Home Assistant is fantastic at controlling entire setup! Lets roll with it.

Plants responded well to topping/fimming. They all have 4/6 main stems. Training them to get a bit of a canopy going. Cookies kush is def a keeper. Gonna try clone it. My clone games weak though.

63 days!!!! the girl is growing and maturing fantastically :) of course I would like a bigger room for her, but I grow it in the conditions I have :) the girl drinks 3 liters of water with nutrients biobiiz 6.3ph (I also give advancet nutrients micro) she likes it :) since I have two different species growing in my tent, I don't understand the aroma of the trivia :D their terpenes smell very delicious, I just don't understand which one smells better :D good luck to everyone :).

The harvest is in! 🌿✨ The buds have turned out absolutely stunning – dense, frosty, and bursting with trichomes. The aroma and flavor are something truly special: a delicate blend of cherries with a refreshing hint of mint 🍒🍃. The high is incredibly potent, deeply relaxing, and body-focused – the perfect companion for unwinding in the evening 🌌💤. These cuttings have truly delivered, and despite the challenges along the way, the results are impressive. I harvested them at the perfect moment, with fully milky trichomes, ensuring peak potency and a balanced effect 💎✨. Thanks to everyone who followed this journey – stay tuned for more updates and new adventures. Until then, enjoy the vibes and happy growing! 🌺📸 --- Die Ernte ist da! 🌿✨ Die Buds sind einfach wunderschön geworden – dicht, frostig und voller Trichome. Das Aroma und der Geschmack sind etwas ganz Besonderes: ein leichter Hauch von Kirschen, kombiniert mit einer erfrischenden Minznote 🍒🍃. Das High ist unglaublich stark, tief entspannend und vor allem körperbetont – perfekt, um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen 🌌💤. Diese Stecklinge haben wirklich abgeliefert, und trotz der Herausforderungen unterwegs bin ich mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Ich habe sie genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt geerntet, bei vollständig milchigen Trichomen, um maximale Potenz und eine ausgewogene Wirkung zu gewährleisten 💎✨. Vielen Dank an alle, die diesen Grow begleitet haben – bleibt dran für weitere Updates und neue Abenteuer. Bis dahin, genießt die Vibes und happy growing! 🌺📸

Looking good and smelling better. I have not harvested yet, but I've sampled some flowers after a flash dry in the vape. It definitely does the trick and is firmly on the indica side of the spectrum. Day 67. I decided to early harvest the side colas that formed off the main 4 branches of the 2 plants. It's my first grow so I am interested in comparing an earlier vs later harvest so thought I'd take this opportunity as well as expose some of the lower buds thats were blocked by the dense patch of colas in the middle of the plants.

I don’t why is that. It is supposed to be 8-9 week strain. But it is very slow. At week 7 of flower it is barely in the bulking stage. All 3 also did not grew much vertically. Maybe they didn’t like the high plant count I ve had this run or high humidity in the beginning but the other strains seems to be ok. I have all 3 cloned and maybe will give the best of them another shot.

Finalizamos cultivo de la mano de nuestro amigo de UKHTA Seeds proveniente de Rusia y afianzándose en España con llegadas de nuevas genéticas que los ponen en los tops, sin duda una experiencia única con esta variedad, unos colores espectaculares, aromas a frutas y muy dulces, parecen chucherías, vamos a disfrutarlos💪💪🍇🍓 muchas gracias por esta oportunidad y por poder probar esta variedad que sin duda entra en mis tops💪

Overall it was a great first time grow. The outcome was smaller than expected. This was caused by the heavy under watering, that stunted the growth of the plant. However the 26g of weed that I got from this harvest is amazing! Smoking is very smooth and the sativa effects are great.

These have got so tall!! Some stress from the light as it’s only a small tent can’t get the light up any more I have moved up the fan and the light a little !

Noch immer leicht im wachstum. Obwohl schon seit 2,5 wochen in flow. Neigt sich aber schön langsam dem ende zu und steckt bald ihre ganze kraft in die blütenbildung. Für in der 3ten woche bin ich sehr zufrieden. Ich liebe es wenn sie die ersten 3-4 wochen noch nach spargeln. Für see of green ideal. Die besten und saubersten stecklinge gibts wie immer hier bei ROOTS-FARMS. The best in austria and maybe europe👌🔥💚

🇺🇸 Grow Journal – Week 13 Week thirteen. The plant seems in good shape overall, even though it’s starting to show some light discoloration on a few leaves. I don’t really know what’s causing it. Maybe it’s because the plant is growing and needs more nutrients now. Or maybe there’s some kind of nutrient blockage starting to appear. The substrate has been running for thirteen weeks, so it could be getting a bit loaded. I’m thinking a flush might help — just to give the root system a reset before moving forward. This week I also worked on defoliation and topping. We’re now at sixteen apexes, and I think that’s enough. It’s probably the last topping, because if I wait much longer, the plant is going to get too big and it’ll be harder to manage once she stretches. Aside from that, everything looks fine. However, I did notice a big drop in pH in the reservoir, which is strange. I added Athena Balance, just like always, but the pH keeps going down. I don’t really understand why it’s dropping so much. Other than that, everything’s okay — nothing special to report. The plant looks stable, and we’re getting close to the flowering stage.

Chop Time

The plant rose above the ground on the 24.6., this is Time Lapse ends on the 13th day of vefetation. I started the grow in my old cupboard grow sed up. I opted to upgrade the the Home Box Q80+ in the coming week. As i was using the Pro Mix i dont need to ad any nutrients for about 4 Weeks. Therefore for now I am only monitoring the amount of water i give them. As I decided to give Air Pots a try for this grow, I am intersted to see how much i can water, relative to my previouse grow with a fabric pot.
