Grow Diaries: Week 9 Veg - Mentha de Croco Mutants
Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌱✨ Week 9 is here, and while our mutants are small, they’re undoubtedly mighty in beauty and character! Each plant continues to showcase its uniqueness, with details in the leaves that are nothing short of art. As always, patience is the key, and these beauties are teaching me that every step of this journey is worth it.
The Flip is Coming!
After much thought, I’ve decided to flip the entire room to a 11/13 light cycle. This means it’s time to identify males and let the females show their true potential. Here’s the plan:
• Why Flip Now?
Despite their smaller size, flipping now allows the plants to reveal their sex while keeping the room’s progress synchronized. This way, I can focus on the keepers and remove the males efficiently.
• Revegging the Favorites:
By flipping and selecting now, I’ll be able to reveg any standout females later. For those unfamiliar, revegging is a technique where, after flowering, you revert the plant back to a vegetative state. This method preserves genetics you love and allows you to grow clones or expand the line further.
👉 Benefits of Flipping and Revegging:
• Speeds up the identification process without needing clones first.
• Lets you preserve special traits in the plants.
• Adds flexibility in managing space and time.
Environment & Nutrition
This week, I’ve maintained a steady environment:
• Temps: 22°C with about 66% RH.
• Nutrients: Continuing with the Aptus Holland lineup—Regulator, Start Booster, and CalMag Boost. The All-in-One Pellets are still providing slow-release nutrition, and the plants seem to love it!
Watering from the bottom remains my go-to, helping keep gnats at bay while ensuring even root hydration.
The Photographer’s Eye
Once again, my Sony A6000 has been in action, capturing the stunning intricacies of these mutants. There’s something magical about zooming in on their delicate details, seeing the interplay of light, and appreciating every curve and serration. Pro tip: The right lens can make all the difference, giving you sharp, breathtaking shots.

Semana 3 (1/8/22 - 7/8/22)
Plantulas mostrando un buen enraizamiento.
Se preparo una solucion de Elite 91 Myco Jordan iniciando la semana con:
-PPM : 80
-pH : 5.8
3/7/2022 se transplanto a cubos de lana de roca de 15cm x 15cm.
Los cubos fueron submergidos bajo una solucion de Mills Start R con:
PPM : 100
pH: 5.7
En el transplante se uso Elite 91 Myco Jordan en forma de polvo para cubrir el hueco del cubo y cubrir las raizes de las plantulas para reducir el estres del transplante.

It rained regularly this week and I was away from home a lot. And forgot to keep them dry with the heavy rain sometimes.
So this week they had almost only rain.
I gave them 1 time 0.5L tapwater with nutrients each.
And less nutrients because I'm scared it will have an impact on the taste

hello fellow growers!
it's the last couple weeks of this run and i couldn't be happier with the results, it's been a learning curve that shoots to the sky,
amazing genetics that helps a lot, resistant and sturdy plants with a lot of terps and easy to grow, it's not hard to get to know them and they will tell you what the issues is and quick!
they will let you know if sum wrong!
they don't like PH flux and high EC (a lot of nutes).
i'd say any of the fast buds line is a great starting plant for beginners but you still have the possibility to really cream these babies out and maximize yields n quality. i'm really happy and can't wait until next run!✅❤️
bless!!

05/04/2024, last pruning, rapid flush, EC down to 0.9, Falsh Clean @3ml/L, from now to harvest I will refill the tank with water EC 2 (approx. 3L/Day (target EC should be close to 0.3 at cut, Sunday or Monday).
I stopped the heating control, and set day ligth to 14h and will follow decreasing 1h/day, till 8h light only.
10/04/2024 This is amazing, this year no rush to harvest, we can wait and I have to say it seems to us it's still getting fatter!
My issue now is that the humidity has some pics at 100% at night! What could I do?!?!?
11/04/2024 EC dropped at 0.7 by adding only water, pH was up to 6.7 but back to 6.5.

It seems this little lady is the purple leaved geno type,
And has already started too show her colours,
I really pumped the nutrients this week as you can see,
At the end of this week a stopped giving the plant these addavitves
More roots,
Humic acid,
Growzyime,
Fast bud folar spray,
And big buds,
And have now started too raise the house & Garden A&B soil feed and also there budXL
I also started off early but as a trace amount of there top shooter,
By the end of week I intend on giving them the full recommended of each and only be giving them the house and garden range at full streingh,
I will then wait for the first Amber tricomb then instant flush feeds,
Hopefully I get two weeks from that stage but it is often genetic so as long as I get at least one week and at least 3 feeds of water only then I'm happy

Hello Diary,
It's the end of the first week of vegetation on my little farm. I'm a little late in updating the diary, but I'll try to change that in the future.
Vegetation officially starts when the plants get at least 4 leaves, in the case of White Widow it's the same as with her roommates.
It's the same case for all three plants, 9 days from when I planted the seeds in the ground, or 5 days from when the plants sprouted.
As you can see from the photos, White Widow is making great progress from day one.
Although initially one leaf was trapped by the seed coat, which can be seen in the photos, one is more developed than the other.
You can see a drastic difference every day, I put photos on the 1st day of vegetation and the 7th day of vegetation and the difference is obvious in those seven days.
White Widow - Day 1. - 2.5 cm
White Widow - Day 7. - 6 cm
Conditions on the farm are not ideal.
The summer heat is still unbearable, affecting the temperature in the apartment.
When I add Migro Aray 4 to that, the temperature sometimes reaches 32 degrees.
I don't see for now that it has a bad effect on the plants, but I would like it if the temperature were lower.
The lights are now set at 35 cm from the plants and are dimmed at 40% of their power.
The regime is 18/6 from the first day of vegetation.
Watering is every three days.
I prepare about 4 liters of water, add 1 ml/L Calcium and Magnesium supplement and this week I started adding Bio Grow Fertilizer, a new product from RQS.
After all, I lower the pH to 6.0. and with that amount I water all three plants on the farm.
Here's a quick recap of the week.
25/07/2024 - Day 1.
The official start of the vegetation.
After photographing the plants, I watered them. I still put the seed booster in there, also a new product from the RQS organic fertilizer collection.
28/07/2024 - Day 4.
Watering.
I prepared 4 liters of water again, added Calcium and magnesium supplement, Bio Grow Fertilizer and finally lowered the pH. with Lemon Kick.
31/07/2024 - Day 7.
End of the first week of vegetation. Taking photos and after that I watered all three plants on the farm.
White Widow - Day 7. - 6 cm.
That's all from me for this week, thank you all for your well wishes. See you soon.

06/15: The ladies have started pre-flowering. They’re also growing in size. Annie has a height of 13”, soil to top leaves. She has a diameter of about 22”, which means I probably can’t fit more than three five gallons in my grow tent. I lowered the light to 12” in hopes of keeping her from getting too tall. Gave water in the afternoon. It was a day and a half since last watering. The five-gallon girls took in over 2000mL. I spotted to one worm in Alexis’s runoff and two in Annie’s. None in Aaliyah’s. I did notice that the bugs have no brown/black heads and also have a clitellum, which are characteristics not found in fungus gnat larvae. The plants look great as of now, but I’m going to keep a close eye on them for any changes.
06/18: Gave the ladies another watering. I didn’t see any pests, so I think we’re in the clear. I’ve been sticking to about a day and half between watering with about 1000μS. The salt in the runoff is a little higher than I would like it, but it’s nothing too crazy. Annie has a leaf or two with burnt tips, so I’m going to keep an eye on her. Both Annie and Aaliyah are about 15” high, but Annie has more of a curve on her main stem and is bushier. Her main stem is the same height as the other ones. The LST allowed Aaliyah to get light on her sides, but her main stem quickly grew back up and surpassed the others. Since the plants are going into flowering I want to avoid training them any further and just let them be. I also switched on the red light, but kept them blue. I read somewhere that this will allow the plants to get enough red light to help with the flowering, but still keep them a bit short because of the blue. I have enough space in the tent to allow the plants to double in height, but not much more after that.

Bueno familia ya finalizamos con el proyecto de las Zkittalicious, son una cepa bestial.
La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 50% humedad y 23 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado.
En resumen la cepa es muy fácil de cultivar, la única pega igual
El tiempo de floración, pienso que es muy rápida los tricomas ya estaban hechos y se me hecho el tiempo encima.
Por lo demás de miedo os la recomiendo.
Gracias a Agrobeta y Mars hydro , sin ellos este proyecto no sería igual 🙏.

***************** Week 3 of Growth From Seed, April 25 to May 1, 2020 - Days 15 to 21 from germination **********************
*
Started the head scratching more this week and wondering what is going on with the slower growth she has experienced the last 4 days or so. She is looking good and not dark....environment is good.....what the heck is the pH so high when been given feed well inline and below 6.0......why runoff numbers in low 7's so early in the run?? A number of heavy feedings this week so that I can read the runoff numbers for her. Going to keep staying the course with feeding but lower the pH because she is still progressing and its still pretty early in the run........not much veg time for an auto though so I need to get this figured out pretty soon.
Gave her some Epsom salts this week as well as I have been battling Magnesium deficiency the last run or two. Always just used CalMag but I don't think the girls always want as much Calcium as they are given this way though. Fed at a rate of 1tsp/gal in a two litre feed early on in the week.
Little more Detail...........
Apr 25/20, Day 15
- 500ml feed - VitaThrive and Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml
- 700ppm and 6.0pH
- small feed of base nute to try and perk her up.
- noticed the lower leaves are droopy while the upper leaves are perky still.
- Still working on dialing the light for these girls as they are happier at 30" away from canopy.
Apr 26/20 - Day 16
- 500ml feed - AN Sensi Cal @ 1.5ml, Sensyzime @ 2ml, Epsom Salt @ 1tsp/gal
- 700ppm and 6.0pH
- The Epsom Salt alone shot the ppm to 500
- Only have the veg switch on for the UnitFarm light.
- feeling some of the other girls are showing some magnesium deficiency with the yellowing perimeter of the leaves.
Apr 27/20 - Day 17
- dry out day
- Cut slits in the bottom of the bag today to let more water out, more quickly when feeding.
- Wondering if the root zone is staying too wet and therefore causing some stunted growth.
- She has been falling a sleep too early in the day so either too much light or getting root bound?
Apr 28/20 - Day 18
- needing some runoff numbers to see what the hell is going on
- fed 3L - Piranha @ 1ml, VooDoo @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml
- going in was 575ppm and 5.3pH
- runoff numbers were 1450ppm and 6.9pH
- WTF......bring it down......next feed at only 500ppm and 5.0pH to lower her??
- leaf colour is perfect. Stems are a little immature yet, but side branching is coming out stronger.
Apr 29/20 - Day 19
- 8L feed - Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 325ppm and 5.0pH
- runoff after the watering was 500ppm and 7.0pH
- WTF.....expected it to be more in the 6.5pH range and not that high still?
- KK looked worse off, still droopy, after this than the other girls did. Lack of oxygen in root zone with so much water? Its coco though shouldn't be for too long.
Apr 30/20 - Day 20
- dry out day
- KK likes it a little dryer in her medium.....she perked up more today and looking a lot better.
- She has had more vertical growth the last day and she is spacing out some of her nodes.
- Her stem is thicker and she is getting stronger.
- Still a week behind though in my opinion and they should have been this size a week ago.
Apr 31/20 - Day 21
- dry out day
- she has done very well the last two days and going to keep riding that wave, didn't water today.
- She has certainly gotten taller and wider.......getting her back on track?
That will wrap up this puzzling week........pH is not staying low after being brought down......shoots back up over 7 in only 24 hours idea. Working on it Growmies. Have a great week and thanks for checking out the girls🙏👌

This plant will be grown again for sure. From start to finish there wasn’t a single issue and she performed well under my Optic LED and LST. Can’t wait to grow this again.
