A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth. It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did. The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow. I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet. On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

Okay so I'm trying something new, since I've gone away from a switch to water for the last week flush I harvested the tops and best smalls and packed the cannatrol full. I'm giving the under growth a bit more time to rippen before I harvest that for the the freezer. If this turns out to be a bad idea I'll not do it again in the future. The last long video is what's left in the tent right now. Let me know if any of you have experience doing this. Updated with a bunch of pictured of dried and cured. Ended up with 186g of beautiful flower. 72g of untrimmed smalls I'll make into RSO, I have a lot of back and nerve pain and RSO hands down the only thing that brings me actual relive, I'm late to the party on this one but I set a side part of the grow for it now. I let the under canopy and shorter tops go another 10 days feed at half strength and I'm glad I did, it ripened up nicely and definitely got a lot of color. I forgot to get pictures of that harvest but I will when I pull it from the freezer to wash. My test jar of this washed at 4+% (the last picture). Last update will be results of that wash. Last update on this one, I added a couple hash/rosin pics at the end. She washed from plant to rosin at 4.03% the terps are musky skunk, sweet pastries, and fresh Linen. I'd definitely grow this one again.

Día 29, estoy ya un poco alucinado, es día 29 y no paran de crecer...he cambiado el agua he Intento subir un poco el ppm al agua, y me da excesos... Así que decido dejarlo bajo a 300ppm y creo que lo voy a dejar así hasta el final... Llevan enzimas de limpieza que descomponen el abono así que dejaré que se auto alimenten porque van super bien ... Haber si pasan hambre.. pero no lo veo claro...en fin no me quiero pasar en el engorde meterle mucho abono y están super verdes bonitas, y florecen a lo bestia así que dejaré que se consuman un poco el abono de las hojas... Día 36 veo que empiezan a tener carencia de magnesio y calcio, he añadido no sé, una locura de magnesio y calcio, también melaza, ácidos fulvicos y humicos y pk bastante.. lo fui subiendo de 150ppm a 400ppm y vi que se lo comían rápido y subían las hojas , al fondo vi que se empezaban a quemar las hojas y algunos pelos por falta de magnesio y calcio así, que me volví loco... De 400 ppm a 800ppm va cargada a tope... espero ahora no causar ningún exceso ... Mañana miraré como reaccionan a la bomba que les he metido van a tope al máximo, si veo que tienen exceso ,no habrá otro remedio que bajar ppm quitando y metiendo agua limpia, y si veo que van bien en las dejo... En teoría voy bajo de ppm tendría que ir a 1200ppm como mínimo, para la semana que voy y más si le añado co2... Pero bueno iré con 800ppm si veo que va bien lo dejo si veo que piden más le añadiré , de momento mañana investigaré... 😅😅 Día 37 por mucho que ayer les metí, más magnesio encimas ácidos fulvicos etc... No he visto ningún cambio... Así que he vuelto a indagar en el tema.... Y creo que más bien tienen carencia aparte del magnesio y calcio, tenían carencia de posforo y potasio, así que como no, me he vuelto loco echándole pk.... Tenía una ppm de 450 se lo subí a 800 y empezaron a subir las hojas, estaban como apagadas ... Total que me vine arriba y les he metido casi 1400 de ppm de sopetón... Así que mañana una de dos, o están quemadas por exceso , ( que no me extrañaría...) o están las hojas buscando la luz y engordando como locas.... Bueno como dije al principio del diario aprendo del error acierto... Y bueno ya se que en la 3 semanas de floración piden ya magnesio calcio y pk , el calcio magnesio que tenía , tenía nitrógeno y me dio exceso por eso estaban un poco con garra... Está vez he comprado calmag de biobizz que es orgánico y no contiene nitrógeno o eso e entendido... Pero si tiene será orgánico... En fin espero que en las k1 tizane no tener muchos problemas de nutrición he comprado un pack biobizz todo orgánico ....

🌿 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 😍🌸.

Mon 06/12/22 - defoliated majorly again, hopefully for the last time this time haha, looking good though! Heavy nug production begins! Tuesday - uploaded video 24 hours after defoliation all plants look amazing!

Definitely grow again, everyone fell in love with this plant in our small grow tent. The density of the calyxes was insane. The branches could barely hold the flowers up. The flower was purple to the core, didn't start green, it started to flower purple from the start. I didn't mess with the temperature during flower. Hot and dry climate here, 75 to 80 feirenheight average in our tent. 85 to 100 outside. Had 3 strains going, this one Pineapple Runtz Auto from Ethos, Tropicana Cookies Auto from FastBuds, and Rainbow Kush Auto from Blimburn seeds which was the freebie pack from NASC.

Nothing but good news here. I have faith in the ladies!

4/3 to 4/9 Veg Days 7 to 13 Week 1 Not much to talk about here. They took to the soil as expected with no issues. One plant's 6 day advantage is really showing here tho. Think I will have to dub that one as "P1" simply because of the timing of root start. Feed this week was 1.5cup & 2.5cups of 6.4ph RO (no nutes) with 4 days between and 4 days after the last feed. Both feeds produced a little runoff, so I know I got the water through well enough. Feed plan next week will increase the amounts to 2.5cup & 3cups of RO and introduce my Veg Mix concentrate. Same feed intervals of about 4 days between feeds. I still want to see the water run through, so if I need to use more than 2.5 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefuly spreading the roots out while doing it. Video - simple growth video since there's nothing to really do this week but watch them grow.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

I'm going to probably have to check with the tape measure for next week shes still stretching! Its definetly the most massive auto and I am looking forward to doing the same strain with low stress straining fully indoors. Some trichomes and definetly a very strong diesel undertone for aroma. Last night the low was 59 degrees in the greenhouse I believe one of the warmest nights we have had this summer. 4 days ago it was 34 outside for a low and I assume around 40 or 45 in the greenhouse. I have been feeding heavy with warm worm casting tea that I brew up 5 gallons at a time and i use 3 cups of castings. Check back next week to see how big this bud gets! And remember it's always 4:20 somewhere

Sanlight EVO 3-60 at 80% Day 22: did nothing today 👌🏻 Day 23: looking good and watered again🌊. Watered with rain water, 1 ml/l Cal Mag, and 1 ml/l Green Sensation. Transplanted into a bigger Pot👌🏻 Day 25: looking good and watered again. Watered with rain water and 1ml/l Powerzyme, 1 ml/l Hesi Boost, 1 ml/l Cal Mag, 1 ml/l Bloom Complex and 1 ml/l Green Sensation. EC at 1.0 and a pH of 6.4.

The flowers are very swollen, very nice t

It took some time to take off but after week 3 she's just began to explode with many branches, 107 d in total from seed. Very very sticky pungent minty smell. I love it.

Easy grow. Trim was not too bad. I had many laffy buds in the bottom. Next time I need to lilipop more.

Will be catching up on all my grows... this finished in stages. It is interesting watching these two different phenotypes.

So this plant was a slow grower from the beginning. Just grew one big chunky bud. Good trichome development and fantastic tropical terps. This is a nice smoker, just not a looker as a plant

Week 8 of flowering: This week, only water and a little Ata Clean for rinsing. The buds are finishing swelling and starting to take on a beautiful orange/copper color. The sweet-citrus aroma is already intense, and harvest is approaching.

Sweet Bourbon Kush is growing great in her little potter. She is starting to get into her bulking stage. Everything has been going good for her. I am really curious to see the final result. I have been increasing her feed as she is taking it great. She got some selective defoliation and some additional pruning where needed.
