🌿 Woche 23 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Diese Woche stand ganz im Zeichen einer ziemlich radikalen Entscheidung ✂️🌿. Letzten Samstag habe ich beide Pflanzen stark entlaubt und ungefähr die Hälfte der Triebe entfernt. Alle unteren Buds mussten weichen – übrig bleiben nur die Top Buds mit der besten Lichtexposition ☀️🌸. Mein Ziel ist dabei ganz klar: Qualität vor Quantität 💚. Ich möchte die Luftzirkulation verbessern, das Schimmelrisiko im kommenden Herbst reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Geruchsentwicklung aus Rücksicht auf meine Nachbarn möglichst gering halten 🌬️🏡. Bei einem möglichen Erntezeitpunkt Ende Oktober oder Anfang November möchte ich einfach nicht riskieren, am Ende einen Großteil der Buds wegen Schimmel wegwerfen zu müssen 🍂🌧️. Natürlich tut es im Herzen weh, aus solchen majestätischen Pflanzen so viel Biomasse herauszunehmen 😢🌿. Aber am Ende interessiert mich nur das Ergebnis. Lieber weniger, dafür hochwertige und gesunde Buds, als eine riesige Menge, von der später ein großer Teil im Müll landet 🙏🌸. Die linke Pflanze ist mittlerweile ca. 2,18 m, die rechte sogar 2,33 m groß 📏🚀. Durch das starke Auslichten hat sich der Wasserverbrauch erwartungsgemäß ungefähr halbiert 💧. Die linke Pflanze sieht momentan allerdings noch etwas unglücklich aus 😕🌿. Dazu kommt, dass die Sonnenerde langsam deutlich an ihre Grenzen kommt und ich rückblickend wahrscheinlich noch stärker hätte topdressen müssen. Die letzten vier Tage war ich wieder beruflich unterwegs und meine Frau hat das Gießen übernommen 💧❤️. Leider wurde offenbar die gleiche Wassermenge deutlich schneller ausgebracht, wodurch jedes Mal Drain entstanden ist. Ich vermute, dass dadurch teilweise auch Nährstoffe ausgespült wurden und sich das bestehende Defizit dadurch weiter verstärkt hat 🌱💦. Ich versuche jetzt gegenzusteuern. Am Freitag gab es einmal BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom und Heaven nach All-Mix-Schema auf 5 Liter Wasser 🌿. Heute folgt zusätzlich noch Almicanna Flower Komposttee 🍵. Danach heißt es erst einmal beobachten und schauen, ob sich vor allem die linke Pflanze wieder erholt 👀🌱. Die rechte Pflanze steht momentan deutlich besser da und wirkt insgesamt kräftiger 💚. Auch beim Reiben am Stamm ist ihr Geruch mittlerweile deutlich intensiver 👃🌿. Interessanterweise ist dafür die linke Pflanze in der Budentwicklung weiter 🌸. Die beiden Phenos zeigen damit immer deutlicher ihre unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften – und genau das macht den Vergleich so spannend 😍. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken und beobachten 🤞🌱. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die beiden nach diesem massiven Eingriff in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln werden 🍂🌸. 🌿 Week 23 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 This week was all about a rather radical decision ✂️🌿. Last Saturday I heavily defoliated both plants and removed roughly half of the branches. All lower buds were removed as well – I’m keeping only the top buds with the best light exposure ☀️🌸. My goal is very clear: quality over quantity 💚. I want to improve airflow, reduce the risk of mold during the upcoming autumn, and at the same time minimize the amount of smell for the sake of my neighbors 🌬️🏡. With harvest potentially coming in late October or early November, I simply don’t want to risk losing a large part of the crop to mold 🍂🌧️. It honestly hurts a little to remove so much biomass from such majestic plants 😢🌿. But ultimately, I’m only interested in the final result. I’d rather have fewer high-quality, healthy buds than an enormous amount that ends up in the trash because of mold 🙏🌸. The left plant is now approximately 2.18 m, while the right one has reached an incredible 2.33 m 📏🚀. As expected, the heavy defoliation has roughly halved their water consumption 💧. The left plant doesn’t look particularly happy at the moment, though 😕🌿. On top of that, the Sonnenerde is clearly starting to run out of nutrients, and looking back, I probably should have used a heavier top dress. I was away on a work trip for the last four days and my wife took care of the watering 💧❤️. Unfortunately, it seems the same amount of water was applied much faster, resulting in drainage every time. I suspect this may have washed out some nutrients and contributed to the further development of the nutrient deficiency 🌱💦. I’m now trying to correct the situation. On Friday I gave them BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom and Heaven according to the All-Mix schedule in 5 liters of water 🌿. Today they’ll receive another dose of Almicanna Flower Compost Tea 🍵. After that, it’s time to observe and see whether the left plant starts recovering 👀🌱. The right plant is looking significantly better at the moment and appears much stronger overall 💚. The smell is also noticeably more intense when rubbing the stem of this plant 👃🌿. Interestingly, however, the left plant is further ahead in bud development 🌸. The two phenotypes are clearly showing increasingly different characteristics – and that’s what makes this comparison so interesting 😍. Now it’s time to keep my fingers crossed and watch closely 🤞🌱. I’m very curious to see how these two plants respond to such a major intervention over the next few weeks 🍂🌸.

got my dehumidifier delivered, set it up today, I'll see if it works.

Week 6 – Day 44 (BT20) RedPure#4 is holding steady at 40 cm – vertical growth has stopped, but the buds are visibly swelling 🍇 Her purple fade is getting stronger 💜 and the aroma is becoming more noticeable and pleasant 👃 She’s currently on 50% of the feeding schedule, which results in EC 0.9. ⚠️ With Advanced Nutrients, I let the solution rest for 20 minutes before measuring – otherwise the EC reading is inaccurate. Before resting: EC 1.7 → After resting: EC 0.9 This happens because A+B nutrients bind slowly at low dosages. 💡 I also remeasured the Fluxshield LED, which lights RedPure exclusively. It seems to have lost some intensity over time, so I increased the dimmer by one step to match the original PPFD levels. All in all, she's developing nicely and stays compact – true to her autoflower nature 🌿

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 22/11/2019 - Pot feels light and dry gave her 1,5l PH 6.2 water with 0.75ml-Grow, 0.75ml-Max, 1.5ml-Bloom, 2.25ml-Heaven and 2.25ml-Acti vera from Biobizz, noticed almost no runoff this time. 27/11/2019 - Pot feels light and dry gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 water, noticed a lot of burned tips no nuts this time I guess? some runoff appeared.

Week 6 of flower for the Fastbuds banana purple punch and gorilla cookies. The gorilla cookies has a real strong hazy smell to it and the banana purple punch has a real fruity smell to it. The strawberry banana from Fastbuds is flowering nicely a couple weeks behind.

Day 47 or so I haven’t measured her so the height can’t be right she’s huge! And getting so heavy. Took some photos of her in the dark while I pretreated the tent for mites or any other fuckers who like to ruin the day. Just in case. Since I recycled soil it couldn’t hurt. She’s beautiful I’m so excited for her to be finished.

Stretching and Pistel everywhere Changed reservoirs Saturday , did a tiny ‘branch amendment ‘ It’s a Fukien jungle in there !

In this week, not a lot has changed. The lady is ripening and starts thickening it's buds. The weather has been bit colder, not a single day above 30°C. She is still packed with enough nutrients. No need to add more , since I can't see any signs of deficiency. Maybe I will add some low level K next week and some calmag, just to be sure.

So we have one in week three of flower and the other is currently still in veg do to vegetables and other #AUTOs started for friends. It’s going to be interesting to say the least having that hydro in flower will be insane, almost need to remove half in clones just to be able to maintain. From what I’ve from her sister the stretch is easily manageable. Cheers to good Budz & Buds

Week 2, first grow ever. Not to moist anymore :)

okok i wanted to sog and ended up putting in a net....... i just cant leave it be sorry i also lollipopped them heavy! They do look great i must say! very happy

A great replacement strain from Barney's. If you can't find the old exodus UK cheese which is almost impossible these days, this variant gives you everything you want. Definitely keeping this strain since its such an easy plant to grow. I have two more phenos to test with a full diary already begun! Thanks Everyone! First diary done 🎉 SM

Bending Into Bloom 🌿✨ She’s hitting her stride! This week was all about upward growth, and wow—she took full advantage of the sunny weather. Her structure is really starting to shine, with wide, open leaves and rich green tones. No stress, no pests, just a plant loving life. 🌞 Before any training or topping, I let her focus on building strength and vertical energy. And it shows—those leaves are soaking up the rays like solar panels, and the internodal spacing looks ideal so far. 👌 Here’s what fueled her this week: 🔸 Fed with BioBizz Grow, CalMag and Alg-a-Mic for balanced nutrition 🔸 Two days later, a fresh brew of compost tea for microbial diversity 🔸 Two days after that, Effective Microorganisms added to enrich the soil life 🔸 Silica spray every 3 days to keep those leaves resilient and shiny 🔸 Watered to slight runoff with pH adjusted to 6.58 and EC at a steady 1200 µS/cm The soil is alive, she’s thriving, and the overall vibe feels dialed in. No signs of deficiencies or stress—just solid, healthy growth. If she keeps this pace, next week will be the perfect time to start shaping her future. Can’t wait to see what happens when the real training begins! 💪✨ Stay tuned!

Unten rum etwas beschnitten erste Woche mit 12h verlief gut soweit. Ab der mitte der Woche 5 hat sich def Wasseverbrauch deutlich erhöht auf 3 Liter pro Tag...Transpiration jetzt hoch...Luftbefeuchter raus Tag nach Aufdrehen auf 100% (SF2000) haben sich die Zackenspitzen der Bläter verdächtig nach oben gerichtet...pro hänger entfernt und die Drahtseile direkt mittels Karabiner an der oberen Stange aufgehängt...Lampe auf 90% zurückgedreht...jetzt sind die Spitzen wieder gut...im weiteren Verlauf noch mehr Änderungen

Weekly update for these gorgeous girls. They've definitely started taking off and doubled in size over the past week. I started feeding nutes at 5ml/gal of Athena Calmag,Grow A & Grow B. Ppfd still at 350-400 at the canopy level and watered 250-500ml daily. All in all Happy Growing

8/9/25 took clones for the next generation. Will be uploading a video on to youtube showing my whole process with honey and vermiculite. Starting to clean up the under carriage and getting her prepped for flower. I let her beg for too long and she's showing signs of being too big for her pot

7/13 It's maine-ing out. Overcast and misting. I guess it rained last night but not much. Today is my watering day although I think they could've made it until tomorrow. These drastic temp changes makes it hard to get a STEADY routine in place. I watered everything in the 20's a gallon the 10's 1/2 gallon. The 10th planet in the front was still heavy so I didn't water it. I'll keep an eye on it. Temps are much milder. I noticed a few more septoria leaves on the 10th planet which I promptly defoliated. This pheno is flowering. I could've put this week as flowering as several plants have started. I also saw ONE leaf on my chem dog that had septoria on it. ONE f-ing leaf! I was planning on treating this early anyway so I mixed one gallon of plant doctor 3 tsp gallon/gallon which was the recommendation. I'll monitor this plant and continue treating it the next two weeks. I may do foliar too but the mixture is different. It's a systemic so I don't think that matters as much. Considering getting mulch to protect from spores on the soil. My plants look GORGEOUS. I Hate to use such a nice plant as a guennie pig but I'm not going to sit here and watch it progress. I'm lucky it's really not that bad and that it's on a reveg. There's so many leaves that I would be forced to prune anyway. I'm seeing two MAYBE three leaves a morning but I want to get this under control. Last year u let a plant with septoria go and it finished but went to extracts. I've got a pretty good feeling about this plant doctor. I've used it before with good results. Only time will tell though.🤞 EDIT: WENT OVER AT ABOUT 1PM. ITS 2 NOW AND BLUE SKIES AND SUNNY. IM SUPER GLAD I WATERED AND EVEN MORE SO THAT I APPLIED THE PLANT DOCTOR HOW I DID. THE GIRLS ALL LOOKED AMAZING. THE TENTH PLANET I TREATED WITH PLANT DOCTOR LOOKS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IT. I FOUND ON LEAVE DEEP ON THE INTERIOR WITJ A SMALL SPOT BUT ITS SOMETHING IM SURE I MISSED THIS MORNING. IF THIS WORKS THIS GOOD ILL BE APPLYING IT TO EVERYTHING EVEN IF ITS JUST PREVENTATIVE. 7/14 Rained last night andcwas still sprinkling when I went over. Amazingly the 10th planet that I treated with the plant doctorcmix had ZERO visible signs of septoria. I did find one leaf on Mt chem dog and two on my mk ultra with the big leaves. It could've been calcium deficiency but I really doubt it because I think I saw THAT as well. I'm going to wait a day or two and if there are still no negative results and the plant is still looking good I'm going to treat AT LEAST the two others that MAY be infected. It's a systemic and can be used proactively and supposably breaks down into p and k after stimulating immune response. I'll monitor a little longer but as it stands I think I'm going to treat the other two just in case. I also need to start feeding. I've watered a lot more than I normally do so obviously the soil won't last as long. This has been some tricky weather but I'm happy with how things are progressing. I probably should've changed this to the first week of flower as several plants are popping pistols everywhere. EDIT: WENT OVER AROUND NOON AND MIXED UP TEO GALLONS OF PLANT DOCTOR PLANNING TO TREAT THE TWO PLANTS BESIDE THE 10TH PLANET. EVERYTHING LOOKED SO PERFECT AND TOMORROW IS MY WATER DAY SO I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF AND APPLY IT WHEN IT NEEDS WATER ANYWAY. I DID NOTICE THAT PLANTS SEEM TO BE FLOWERING MORE AGGREWWIVELY THAN BEFORE. THINGS ARE GETTING INTERESTING. 7/15 It was water day. The girls looked great this morning. I watered everything at least a gallon and 1.5 for the thirstier plants. I treated my big fan leaf mk ultra and my chem dog #4 with the same Plant Doctor mix as i did tge 10th planet beside it. I havent seen ANY septoria on that plant since application and it looks better than ever. I watered them with a half gallon of phed water before doing a soul drench with the gallon of Plant Doctor @ 3tsp/gal. I'm not seeing much septoria but plants are starting flower and I want to nip it in the bud. This product can be used preventatively and I went by the guidelines for medical marijuana. It was 70 earlier this morning. I'll update as I go forward. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AT 3 AS THE TENPS WERE PIST 90 AND HAD BEEN ALL DAY. I POSTED A SHORT VIDEO BUT EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GREAT. THE PLANT DOCTOR SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED SUBSTANTIALLY. DIDNT FIND ONE SEPTORIA LEAF. STILL IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO WORK FULLY BUT IM GLAD I DIDNT CHICKEN OUT AND I APPLIED THE RIGHT AMOUNT. IM GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS BUT I MIGHT JUST TREAT EVERYTHING PREVENTATIVELY WHICH IS JUST HALF A TSP A GALLON I THINK. IT DEF TRIGGERS A RESPONSE IN THE PLANT. I LOVE IT WHEN SHIT JUST WORKS OYT AND YOU END UP PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. NEXT WATERING ILL PROBABLY DO NUTES. IM DEBATING WHETBER TO TRELLUS OR JUST USE STAKES AND STRINGS ACROSS THE CAGE AS NEEDED. OH WELL. OVER 90 IS TO MUCH FOR ME TO BE OUTSIDE FOR TOO LONG. 7/16 Plant Doctor is doimg its job. I saw a couple septoria leaves on chem dog but it was interior amd I could've missed it. It takes a little bit to get going. I think I'm going to treat the rest of the garden with at least the preventative dose of 1tsp per gallon. I'll wait and see if this keeps it from popping back up. It almost got to 100 yesterday. It was 80 early this morning. I mixed up two gallons of water and gave the thistiest/lightest a half gallon. I'm hoping that will hold everything over until tomorrow which is water day. I'll have to check but I think it might be time to feed too. I def should make sure to treat tjis septoria before focusing on nutes. It says you can mix it with nutes but I'm leary of doing so. I'd rather apply them at seperate times. I'll watch the garden and of I NEED to water I will. I'm hoping what I did will be enough. EDIT: WENT OVER AROUND ONE. IT WAS 93° WITH SUPER HIGH HUMIDITY. IM GLAD I SPLIT THAT TWO GALLONS WITH THOSE FOUR PLANTS THATS FOR SURE! THEY'D PROBABLY BE DROOPED IF I DIDNT. EVERYTHING WAD PRAYING TO THE SUN GODS. WELL, EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE MK ULTRA IN THE 30 AND THE 10TH PLANET. THEY ARENT DROOPING THEY JUST LOOK NORMAL. THEY ARENT "PRAYING" LIKE THE OTHERS. THEY ARE DEFINATELY A LITTLE LIGHT AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR WATERING. AND THEIR FEEDING. THATS FOR SURE. I WAS SUPER HAPPY WITH WHAT I SAW GOING OVER AND THE GIRLS WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD OUT UNTIL THE MORNING. ONE IN SPECIAL KUSH (WHICH GROW AMAZING AND LARGE HERE) IS IN A 10 AND I EVEN GAVE IT A LITTLE WATER THIS MORNING BUT ITS DROOPY. I COULD STILL FEEL A LITTLE BIT OF MOUSTURE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LIGHT. IT CAN WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING WITH THE REST. IF IT WAS DROOPING BAD I WOULDA WATERED IT. I DONT GET WHY IM HAVING PROBLEMS FINISHING PLANTS IN 10GAL SMART POTS. YEARS AGO I COULD FINISH SOMETHING IN A 5GAL BUCKET! BUT NOW ITS LIKE THE PLANTS I GROW GET FAR TO BIG TO FINISH FLOWERING ON THESE TINY BAGS. ILL MONITER. HOPFULLY IT WILL BE FINE. IF I HAVE TO I SUPPOSE I COULD CUT THE BOTTOM OFF AND PUT THEM IN THE GROUND OR MORE SUBSTRATE BUT THATS NOT SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO. I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU THESE GIRLS TURN OUT.

She is loaded right now very heavy and potent yielding plant oh yeah thanks 420 fastbuds I will be getting more of your seeds you rock Guys im so happy I boughy fastbuds seeds It was great to see this second seed pop an amazing grapefruit we did fiming and she eneded up with many colas and many flowers plus super frosty and smelly Also turned purple all buds which to us was a surprise and did not expect that Since last grapefruit was different than this Thanks a lot for all your support Imagine if we had a full spectrum light I think we would be growing trees Honestly we have more than we expected COMING from an Indoor thats nearly located in a tropical climate of 30/33 degrees most of the year and with that said raising temps very hot sometimes very humid thats close to the equator So we have to use A/C all times and maintain humidity levels by spraying all walls to keep it around 45/60% while ac is on remember droping temps so we have to make it as comfortable as possible and that its not easy in this side of the world OR either you need a lot of money which I dont have yet to build a super setup and a separate ROOM with all of that temp and great humidity lvls so yeah we do what we can with our budget We live somwhere where things are pretty much fckd up but it is what it is Hey at least we are safe because it is illegal lol so yeah brothers we have hard times And still with all risk we here doing our best Showing all support Showing im greatful TO find a space like this where We all can share like and Comment And help each other grow better everyday Blessings to you all Keep EM buds coming Happy growing

Not hyped on the weight but some quality buds! It's my fault they stayed small anyways due to my grow room isn't great Did 12h of darkness and a full 3 weeks flush
