Hi everyone :-) This week, phenotype 2 and 3 were repotted just like phenotype 1 from the Zamnesia Spring Cup in the other diary 🙏🏻. Otherwise not much has happened this week. I'm curious how the two with Canna Bio will compare to the monster bud mix in the spring cup diary :-). I wish you all a nice weekend, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👏🏻😎

🌿 Woche 20 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Endlich geht es los 🌸🔥! Beide Mentha de Croco haben jetzt mit der Blüte begonnen und ich freue mich unheimlich auf die kommenden Wochen 😍🌱 Die linke Pflanze ist inzwischen etwa 2,07 m, die rechte sogar ca. 2,20 m hoch 📏🚀. Aus den ehemaligen „Wolkenkratzern“ werden jetzt hoffentlich riesige Blütenbüsche 🌲🌸. Im unteren Bereich habe ich hier und da ein paar gelbe Blätter entfernt 🍂. Mit dem Topdress war ich leider ungefähr eine Woche zu spät, sodass die Pflanzen zwischenzeitlich einen leichten Stickstoffmangel gezeigt haben. Bei dieser unglaublichen Pflanzenmasse sind ein paar gelbe Blätter allerdings wirklich kein Drama 😄💚. Letzten Samstag habe ich Almicanna Kickflip leicht in die obere Erdschicht eingearbeitet 🌿. Am nächsten Tag gab es den Almicanna Flower Komposttee, den ich zuvor 48 Stunden gebraut hatte 🍵. Die Nährstofffreisetzung aus dem Topdress erfolgt natürlich zeitverzögert, weshalb die Pflanzen die zusätzlichen Nährstoffe nicht sofort zur Verfügung hatten. Die entfernten Blätter lasse ich im Eimer trocknen 🍂 und werde sie im Laufe der Saison wieder als Mulch für die Pflanzen verwenden. So bleibt die organische Masse im Kreislauf ♻️🌱. Jetzt stehe ich allerdings vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung 🤔: Lasse ich die Pflanzen einfach laufen und genieße den Aufbau riesiger Buds oder entferne ich gleich zu Beginn einen größeren Teil der Blüten 🌸✂️? Der Breeder gibt eine Blütezeit von 11–12 Wochen an. Damit wäre eine Ernte wahrscheinlich erst Ende Oktober bis Anfang November zu erwarten. Und bei einem typischen deutschen Herbst 🍂🌧️ muss man realistisch bleiben: Riesige, kompakte Buds hätten zu dieser Jahreszeit wahrscheinlich ein erhebliches Schimmelrisiko. Daher werde ich vermutlich nicht ganz der Natur ihren freien Lauf lassen können und die Pflanzen im weiteren Verlauf ordentlich auslichten müssen. Sicherheit vor maximaler Bud-Größe 🌧️🍃✂️. Am meisten freue ich mich aber jetzt schon auf den Herbst 🍂❤️. Die farnartigen Blätter dieser Genetik sind einfach wunderschön und wenn sie sich im Herbst noch entsprechend verfärben, wird das wahrscheinlich ein echtes Fest für die Augen 🍁🌿😍. Ich bin gespannt, was die nächsten 11–12 Wochen bringen 🚀🌸! 🌿 Week 20 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 It’s finally happening 🌸🔥! Both Mentha de Croco plants have now started flowering, and I’m incredibly excited for the weeks ahead 😍🌱! The left plant is now around 2.07 m, while the right one has reached approximately 2.20 m 📏🚀. The former “skyscrapers” are now hopefully going to turn into huge flowering plants 🌲🌸. I removed a few yellowing leaves from the lower sections 🍂. I was unfortunately about one week late with the top dress, so the plants showed some mild nitrogen deficiency in the meantime. With this enormous amount of plant biomass, however, a few yellow leaves really aren’t a big deal 😄💚. Last Saturday I lightly worked Almicanna Kickflip into the upper soil layer 🌿. The following day, I gave them Almicanna Flower Compost Tea, which had been brewed for 48 hours 🍵. Since the nutrients from the top dress are released gradually, the additional nutrition wasn’t immediately available to the plants. I’m keeping the removed leaves in a bucket to dry 🍂 and will use them as mulch for the plants later in the season ♻️🌱. Now I have a difficult decision to make 🤔: Do I let the plants run naturally and enjoy watching them build huge buds, or should I remove a significant number of flowers right at the beginning 🌸✂️? The breeder lists a flowering time of 11–12 weeks, which would put harvest somewhere around late October to early November. With a typical German autumn 🍂🌧️, we have to be realistic: enormous, dense buds would carry a very high risk of mold this late in the season. So unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to let nature completely take its course. I’ll most likely have to thin the plants out quite heavily as flowering progresses. Better to sacrifice some bud size than lose everything to mold 🌧️🍃✂️. What I’m looking forward to the most, though, is the autumn show 🍂❤️. The fern-like leaves of this genetics are absolutely beautiful, and if they develop some spectacular autumn colors, I think these plants will become a real feast for the eyes 🍁🌿😍. I can’t wait to see what the next 11–12 weeks bring 🚀🌸!

UPDATE - Thurs 4th March The week has been fine. I am going there today so you may get an update this evening. Iv been posting on TheWeedTube also so I have much more videos explaining what’s going on. Plants are looking great. I got paid today so I bought an online fan to plug into the thermostat and pull fresh air in through a duct from a cooler part of the flat. In summer it won’t be as useful but to be honest I’ll probably just duct tape the sucky end of the duct to a small ac or Friday type thing, iv not really looked into it yet. Even a hillbilly cooking system would be better than nothing. ( filling a bucket up with ice, water and salt and put the end of the duct into that so it sucks in the cold air). We’ll see! Update - Monday 8th March All is well, I just want the buds to start swelling now. I found some awesome supports in Aldi. They are metal rings that the plant weaves through and has spikes that go into the pot rather than a scrog net being fixed in place. Therefore I can still move them and drain the run off.

Week 5 Day 1 No issues after topping and transplant. Looks happy and growing. Need to start dehumidifier as temperatures start to creep up In here and humidity hitting higher and higher 🤘 Week 5 Day 6 Every day getting more and more bushy. One more week and she’s going into second tent and starting flower 🌹 😍

Day 92. Watering with fertilizers. Day 93. Watering with clean water. Day 94. Watering with fertilizers. Day 95. Watering with clean water. Day 96. Watering with fertilizers. Day 97. Watering with clean water. Day 98. Watering with fertilizers.

Temps got to 88 degrees as the highest. Night time temps ranged from 70-75 degrees. Leaves show small nutrient burn but nothing major. Still green. Bottom leaves are somewhat yellowing. Light defoliation at the beginning of week 3

Did a lil experiment and clip the top of each was looking to see a increase veg

Week 7 – Substrate Saturation & Major Recovery Flush This week was noticeably tougher than the previous ones. After showing strong development for several days, the plant suddenly slowed down and displayed clear signs of stress: halted growth, reduced leaf vigor, and poor nutrient absorption. A quick diagnosis revealed the cause: an excessively high EC in the substrate, leading to a severe root lockout. ⚠️ Despite the difficult situation, the corrective intervention was heavy, precise, and absolutely necessary. ⸻ 🌧️ Major Blockage – Excessive EC in the Root Zone The symptoms matched a classic salt buildup: • stalled vertical and lateral growth • leaves showing tension and mild droop • delayed response to watering • slightly uneven color The conclusion was straightforward: 👉 The root zone was overloaded with mineral salts, preventing the plant from taking up nutrients and even basic moisture. Without a fast and well-executed flush, things could have worsened quickly. ⸻ 💧 Intensive Flush — 18 Liters at pH 6.2 (No Nutrients) To restore balance, you performed a deep, controlled flush: • 18 liters of water • pH calibrated to 6.2 • no nutrients added This reset allowed you to: ✔️ remove a significant portion of the salt buildup ✔️ rehydrate and oxygenate the substrate ✔️ restore proper root metabolism ✔️ rebalance the soil’s pH The final readings after the flush were excellent: • Runoff PPM brought down to 900 • Substrate pH stabilized at 6.5 These values are completely safe and give the plant a clean base to recover from the lockout. ⸻ 🔄 Plant Response — Still Weak, but Improving Although the plant hasn’t fully bounced back yet: • leaf posture is slowly improving • color is becoming more uniform • the root zone is breathing again • growth should restart within the next 48–72 hours A slight delay after such a heavy flush is normal and expected. The priority now is letting the plant recover at its own pace. ⸻ Nutrients — Mandatory Pause After such a deep reset: • no nutrients were given • the substrate must stabilize before feeding resumes • the plant needs time to re-open nutrient pathways Overfeeding too early could recreate the same EC issue. Patience is key. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Structure Despite the setback: • the structure remains solid • the LST framework is still intact • environmental conditions stayed stable • no pests or diseases are present The problem was strictly chemical (EC-related), not environmental. ⸻ 🌸 Next Step — Wait for Clear Signs of Recovery Before training, shaping, or switching to 12/12: 👉 wait for visible new growth and fully opened leaves. Once you see fresh, healthy movement, you can gently reintroduce nutrients at reduced strength. Only then should you consider whether to extend veg or plan the flowering transition. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Difficult Week, But a Clean Save Week 7 brought a serious challenge: a heavy nutrient lockout caused by excessive EC. However, your response was fast, precise, and completely on point. The 18 L flush at pH 6.2 successfully: • cleared the excess salts • stabilized the substrate • restored a safe pH of 6.5 • brought the EC back to manageable levels The plant is now on the path to recovery, and the worst has been avoided. Next week should show clear progress.

👇 This week: --- Watered again but this week i started using alga bloom instead of grow + Calmag PPFD at canopy height approximately 450-600, VPD ~1.1 - 1.3 Last defo before flower + lollipopping Running autopot reservoir with PH 5.5 (Cleaning once a week) Feeding autopots inside the tray with 1L plagron alga 5ml/L + additives (once a week) Testing Orange Creampop #2 on HLVd because she is much smaller than her sisters --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

This diary will be solely too showcase as I go along also too help me keep track here and there when needed. Not all will be correct or down too perfection but is still a journey you can join along with 🌱 Gifted these great beans from across the water and glad to finally see them pop through the soil 💚

She is gorgeous. Rub a stem or lightly touch a bud and your left with a deep berry smell with a backing of the earthy kush. Hope to see the flowers put on some real mass soon

I don't think she is in full flower yet but well on her way. She has taken all the lst and defoliation I throw at her. I added a silica additive since I want this lady to have superman stems to take my torture. Day 32 - She is really drinking a lot right now. I had to water earlier than expected and will also increase the amount I am giving.

Day 82. Harvest time. Wonderful plant. Hope to have nice harvest of her. Will be updated after drying Happy Growing !!!

Cada dos días las riego, 2 veces con los nutrientes después de activarlos 24 horas con una bomba de aire para acuario pequeña y una vez solo con agua con ph de 6.0

I fed her for the first time this week. The soil was depleted of nutrients as u can see shes on the bright green/yellow side and a tiny calcium deficiency. I poured 5 liters with good nutrients trough the soil/perlite mix shes in and now in 4 days she will get her colour back

Its going Crazy in the tent! The Banana Train is in full thrive. It smells and the development of buds is amazing.
