🌿 Week 7 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌿 Hello, Grow Fam! We’re now into Week 7 of this exciting adventure with my Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco ladies, and what a week it’s been! The theme for this week? Patience and appreciation. These girls continue to grow at their own pace, each one showcasing their unique traits and incredible beauty. Week Recap: Slow and Steady Wins the Race The girls are still on the slower side in terms of growth, but that’s part of their charm. Each leaf is a masterpiece, more intricate and stunning than the last. Their prayer posture remains consistent—a true testament to their health and contentment in their environment. They may be taking their time, but their vitality and uniqueness shine through every step of the way. Environmental Conditions: Keeping Things Balanced This week has been about maintaining a steady environment despite the natural slowdown in growth due to cooler temperatures. • Temps: Daytime 18–20°C, nighttime 14–16°C. It’s a bit chillier than usual, but these resilient ladies are adapting beautifully. • Humidity: Stable at 65%, ensuring the girls remain hydrated and comfortable. • Airflow: Gentle but constant to keep the space fresh and prevent any stagnant air pockets. Feeding Program: Aptus Holland Perfection Feeding remains consistent, and the girls are loving the organic-mineral lineup from Aptus Holland. Here’s what’s in their mix this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – To strengthen cell walls and increase stress resistance. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – For robust development and prevention of deficiencies. • StartBooster: 0.25 ml/L – Enhances early vegetative growth and root systems. The switch to All-in-One Pellets last week has eliminated the need for liquid All-in-One, and the girls seem to be thriving with this natural, slow-release food source. Watering: A Gnat-Free Approach This week, I continued with bottom watering. Filling the trays and letting the soil absorb the water has been a game-changer—not just for healthy root development but also as a part of the war against gnats. Paired with yellow sticky traps, this strategy has kept pests in check while ensuring the roots get all the hydration they need. Growth Observations: Slow but Stunning • Structure: The slow growth might test patience, but the payoff is worth it. The compact, vibrant structure of each plant is breathtaking. • Leaves: Dark green, uniquely shaped, and full of character. Each girl is like an artist’s brushstroke—no two alike. • Praying Posture: Their leaves reach for the skies like they’re soaking up every ounce of light. Still no cloning or flipping to 12/12 yet, as I want them to grow a bit more before making any big moves. Next week, I’ll decide whether to flip them for a brief period to determine sex or wait until cloning is feasible. Photography Spotlight: Capturing the Details This week, I took some time to immortalize their beauty with my Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR cameras. The intricate details of their leaves, captured through different lenses, reveal their individuality. 📸 Photography Tip: • Cameras like my Sony and Nikon bring out fine details you’d never see with a phone camera. The larger sensors, interchangeable lenses, and manual controls allow for stunning clarity and depth. • Macro lenses, in particular, are fantastic for close-ups, like capturing water droplets or vein details in leaves. The difference between these and even the best phone cameras (like the latest iPhone) is night and day when it comes to quality and creative control. Looking Ahead: What’s Next? As we move into Week 8, I’m hoping for an uptick in growth speed, but I’m perfectly content to let these beauties take their time. The journey is just as rewarding as the destination, and these girls are proof of that. Shout Outs & Gratitude A massive thank you to: • Terpyz Genetics for these exceptional mutant seeds. • Aptus Holland for their top-tier nutrient lineup. • Future of Grow (FOG) for lighting that keeps these ladies praying. • Pro-Mix Soil for providing the perfect growing medium. • TrolMaster for environmental controls that make my life so much easier. • Grow Diaries for the platform to share this incredible journey. • And, of course, all of YOU—followers, supporters, and even the haters—for being part of this adventure.

Germinated 10/10 seeds in easy-plugs 1 male, 1 weakling - both discarded - going further with 8 viable plants Looking good 🍌🍊🍍 Can't wait to see them flowers 😎😁

Transplanted at the beginning of the week, it did a lot of good for them 🌱💪

With the new netting up, I switched on the red lights along with the blues to help the plants stretch a bit to reach through the screen. It looks like it is taking effect, so late in the week (Friday) I trimmed some of the lower branches. Last week I FIMmed Zoe and Grace to give River a chance to catch up, and I expected 1 of 2 results: 1) FiMming will encourage growth in the cut plants causing them to grow taler than River, or 2) Things will stabilize and River will be on par with her siblings. But instead, I discovered a 3rd result: River is continuing to grow bigger and thicker each day and is even taller and fuller than her sisters. In addition though, the trimmed plants are developing nice, strong, sizable leaves, and most of the new growth is coming from down below, rather than near the top. Oh, and this week I added a new camera (Wyze) to the time lapses so I can take my pro camera out.

Did a light defol on 1. Gonna let the other just go until day 21 of flower. But yeah, these babies been a little struggle. But they’re drying out from their first real pot soaking feed. Another day or 2 and we’re gonna flip! Let’s gooooo!

Good day to everyone! The plants look great. I switch to flowering this week. ☀️ The light 12/12 ☀️ 🥛 The PH 5.6 🥛 💎 The EC 950ppm 💎 Growing on Rockwool. Watering in and then pumping out every morning. Each plant eat about 1.5L The pre-flowering begun

Well this week has gone a bit pear shaped. I think it is a combination of light stress and the new soil I'm using. Also the soil had fungus gnats. I won't use it again but it was an experiment and I've learnt that soil isn't my substrate of choice! Back to my super coco mix! 😁 I'm going to see if I can pull it through. I've got plants through worse! Wish me luck. I watered twice this week with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6-6.5, containing 1ml of Ecothrive Trace and 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys. I will say that the soil is very difficult for me to judge the moisture level to water accordingly. Have I mentioned it don't like soil? 😒💚😂🍃✌️ Thanks for checking out my diary this week, I'm sorry its not a better update, but wish me luck! I'm going to need it here! 😂💚✌️

Skywalker OGs continues to live up to the name. What started as a compact, promising plants has now turned into one of those runs that quietly earns respect week after week. Dense flowers, heavy frost, strong stacking, and far more weight than expected from her frame. She never needed to be the tallest plant in the room to become one of the most impressive. She simply did what great plants do — stayed consistent, stayed efficient, and let quality build over time. This is what happens when stable genetics meet a stable room. 12/12 from seed. Controlled environment. Steady feedings. Minimal stress. No chasing. No overcorrection. Just rhythm, patience, and letting the plant do what it was built to do. And now we’re entering the final phase. The plant has done the work. From here forward, the goal is not to push harder. The goal is to finish cleaner. That means no more nutritional feeding from this point on. From here until harvest, she receives only water and enzymes. Not because she is lacking. Because she is done building. At this stage, continuing to push nutrients often does more harm than good. Nitrogen is no longer needed in quantity, phosphorus demand slows, and excess minerals in late flower rarely translate into better flowers. More often, they delay senescence, slow the natural finish, and leave the plant focused on processing surplus instead of completing ripening. By removing nutrients now, we stop asking the plant to keep producing and allow it to begin finishing. That shift matters. This is where the plant starts relying on what it has already stored. Mobile nutrients begin moving. Fan leaves begin fading. Internal reserves begin being used. The plant starts consuming itself exactly the way it was designed to at the end of its cycle. That fade is not a problem to correct. It is the signal that the plant has entered the final metabolic stage. And this is exactly where enzymes become useful. From here on, Pure Zym stays in the water for one reason: cleanup. No more feeding the plant directly. Now we feed the medium. Enzymes help break down dead root material, leftover organic residue, and unused matter in the substrate. That keeps the rhizosphere cleaner, keeps the medium biologically active, and helps the plant access what is still available in a softer, more natural way without adding fresh nutritional load. At this point, enzymes are less about “feeding” and more about support. They help the medium stay functional. They help the root zone stay clean. They help the plant finish without unnecessary buildup. Simple in practice, but very useful in late flower. The same logic applies above the canopy. We are also beginning to reduce light intensity slightly for the final stretch. Not dramatically. Not enough to stall development. Just enough to begin easing the plant into the end of its cycle. Less demand. Less stress. Less need to force photosynthetic output when the plant is no longer focused on expansion. This is less about reducing production and more about reducing pressure. In nature, the final weeks do not arrive with increasing intensity. They arrive softer. Shorter days. Lower energy. A slower rhythm. So we mirror that where we can. Slightly lower PPFD. Slightly less metabolic pressure. A gentler finish. The goal now is not to make her grow more. The goal is to help her mature better. That includes the visual changes now beginning to show. Fading is starting. Still early. Still light. Nothing dramatic yet. But it is coming. And that is exactly what we want to see. The green will slowly begin to recede. Stored nutrients will continue to move. Colors will shift. Uptake will slow. Water demand will eventually begin to drop. And the plant will tell us, clearly, when it is ready. Right now they are still drinking well — around 1.4L per day — which tells us they are still actively working, still metabolically engaged, and not yet at the true end. That number should begin tapering in the coming weeks. When it does, the plant is telling us the finish line is close. Until then, we watch. We do not force. We do not rush. We let the plant speak first. Room conditions remain largely unchanged because they have worked, and there is no reason to reinvent what already functions. 26°C day 18°C night 60% RH ~21°C solution ~22°C substrate Strong airflow ~1000 ppm CO₂ Stable, predictable, repeatable. That consistency is part of why this run has gone the way it has. The only real changes now are in the feed itself. EC is down to nearly nothing. TDS sits around 0.2. Only enzymes in solution. And pH is no longer being adjusted. At this stage, with no real nutrient load in the mix, there is very little to correct. The water blend — rainwater and dehumidifier water — lands naturally around 6.8–7.0, and in this final phase that is more than acceptable for what we are asking the plant to do. We are no longer trying to optimize aggressive nutrient uptake. We are simply maintaining hydration, root function, and a clean finish. Different phase. Different goal. Different logic. And she smells exactly like she looks. Strong. Loud. Room-filling. The kind of plant that announces itself before you even touch it. She has entered that stage now — where aroma stops being a trait and starts becoming presence. And honestly, Skywalker OG has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the run. Not because she demanded attention. Because she earned it. Quietly. Consistently. Without drama. Without excess. Just dense, frosted, honest flowers built week after week under stable conditions. Exactly the kind of plants that reminds you why simplicity still wins. Big thanks to Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for keeping the medium and inputs consistent. And GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document the process properly. And to everyone following along — old names, new names, quiet supporters, loud supporters, long-time growers, first-time growers, lovers, lurkers, doubters and believers alike — respect. There’s room for everyone here. See you in the next week. The plant will tell us when. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

So this is a Tropicana cookies FF from 420fastbuds that I had laying around for months and I remember the last one was chunky chunky.. so I know this one will be slapping hard.. the perk on her is serious like if she wants to touch the light lmao but yeah I have been doing dry backs with her this past week and she's been loving it.. I can tell that her roots are looking for that water and growing.. my plan is to put her to flower on the 1st this week and have her done in 55 days.. if I do then berlin will try her as well .. lets grow!!!! Thanks for watching guys.. check out my Instagram.. only_dabs4200 Thanks alot 420fastbuds!!! Keep up the solid work

Buenas a tod@s... Bueno otra semanita más de estas hermosas nenas, ya más grandes y empezando a desarrollar sus frutos, la verdad q están creciendo muy bien, sin problemas, aunq hay veces q la temperatura este un poco alta las voy controlando y van muy bien, este cultivo yo creo q promete para bien... Me gusta ver buenos resultados cada vez q empiezo un cultivo nuevo, super contento y las niñas tanbm... 🙌🏻🙏🏻💀😎💪🏻 Buenos humos para tod@s...🔥🔥💨💨 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

this strain responds well to training and indoor grow spaces, seems robust and resistant enough to be worth a try outdoors as well. this freebie was a great experience, and was the largest plant in my grow by a notable margin. cheers

Flipped ‘em to flower about a week ago. So far to my untrained eyes they’re looking great. I’m watering ever three days and feeding once every other watering. Mixture of fox farms nutrients (disregard amounts in stats above) at like 25-40 percent of full strength. Ppm was 700 and ppfd is 700-800 according to Photone. Disregard the little fella in the solo cup. I never transplanted it and just kept it in there. Now I’m just keeping it as a bonus plant plus to learn leaf symptoms, etc. I’m really excited to guide these through the home stretch! They’re already way bigger than my last, and first, harvest.

Shes doing excellent forming up them flowers nicely now !! I will be starting this week on the flowering regiment of nutrients to make this plant go into overdrive !!! Let the show begin !! A special thanks goes out to everyone who stops into the diaries , you guys are kick ass !! -Happy Growing!

Despite of wet, bad, cold/nasty weather...Beelzebub s flowers are getting more demonic everyday!👹👌 @-}}-}}} Happy growing 4 all✊ **KISS! growingtechnique: keepItSimple, Stupid!

In den letzten Tagen hatte sie nur Wasser (pH 6,5, EC 200). Seit drei Tagen nun gar nichts mehr. Komplette Dunkelheit, kein Co2 Nur die Ventilatoren laufen und die Abluft. Samstag wird geerntet.

These week we see a big bud evolution, they're strong and healthy, i can not wait to tryout more strains from SweetseedS. The p.p.m is also a little more higher than the last week because we add 2 ml. Of biobizz biobloom on our weekly feeding and all ready for the 3 week of flowers

Day 42 - Ladies are growing beautifully & starting to smell extremely strong! The Gorilla Girl is short but very bushy, I think she will have some massive buds but we will see! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Mother: to the older sets that are in pot Gonna transplant dem new mother by the end of the week or next week...jus letting LST do it thing since I already started it New cutting first visible root in 8 day off of water only gonna hit them with a rooting mixture before end of week
