Will update here with smoke and dryed report the drying is nearly done and about time for a cure , she smells great

Chopped one before vacation and off to dry while I'm in Ireland and the UK, leaving the other one to keep going and chopped on return.

🌿 Woche 18 – Mentha de Croco 🇩🇪 Die beiden Mentha de Croco entwickeln sich weiterhin hervorragend! 💚 Die linke Pflanze ist inzwischen 194 cm, die rechte beeindruckende 209 cm hoch – und damit deutlich über der 2-Meter-Marke 📏🌱. Da wir diese Woche teilweise kräftige Sturmböen hatten 🌬️🌩️, habe ich beide Pflanzen mit Bastseilen an der fest installierten Regenrinne gesichert. Jede Pflanze ist jetzt an drei verschiedenen Punkten befestigt und sollte damit auch stärkeren Winden problemlos standhalten 💪. Ganz spurlos ist das Wetter allerdings nicht vorbeigegangen. Einige Äste sind durch die Sturmböen abgebrochen, wodurch die Ästhetik der Pflanzen leider etwas gelitten hat. Trotzdem sehen beide weiterhin kerngesund und vital aus – keine Schädlinge, keine Krankheiten und kräftig dunkelgrünes Laub 💚🌿. Heute bekommen die Pflanzen zum ersten Mal mein selbst hergestelltes Bananen-Ferment 🍌. Ich möchte sie damit langsam auf den bevorstehenden Blütebeginn vorbereiten. Nach meiner Einschätzung wird die Blüte etwa Mitte August so richtig Fahrt aufnehmen 🌸. Besonders gespannt bin ich darauf, ob es trotz des begrenzten 30-Liter-Topfvolumens noch zu einem nennenswerten Stretch kommen wird. Ehrlich gesagt bin ich mit der aktuellen Höhe bereits mehr als zufrieden 😄. Für die rechte Pflanze brauche ich inzwischen fast schon eine Leiter, um sie vollständig aufs Foto zu bekommen ?📸 🌿 Week 18 – Mentha de Croco 🇬🇧 Both Mentha de Croco plants continue to perform exceptionally well 💚! The left plant has now reached 194 cm, while the right one stands at an impressive 209 cm, comfortably exceeding the 2-meter mark 📏🌱 This week brought several days of strong wind and heavy gusts 🌬️🌩️, so I secured both plants to the permanently installed rain gutter using natural bast twine. Each plant is now tied at three different points, giving them much better stability against future storms 💪. Unfortunately, the storm wasn’t completely harmless. A few branches snapped in the strong winds, so the plants have lost a little of their perfect appearance. Even so, both remain healthy, vigorous, and full of life with no signs of pests or disease 💚🌿. Today they will receive my homemade banana ferment 🍌 for the first time to help prepare them for the upcoming flowering phase. I expect flowering to really begin around mid-August, and I’m excited to see how much stretch they’ll still produce. The biggest question now is whether the relatively small 30-liter pots will limit the flowering stretch significantly. To be honest, I’m already more than happy with their size 😄. The right plant is now so tall that I almost need a ladder just to take a proper photo ?📸

Pretty slow week, using about 1 gallon of water for all three every other day, I think are a little behind but they look good !

Zum Anfang dieser Woche war ich 3 Tage nicht zuhause. Ich habe die Pflanze vorher nochmal gegossen und anschließend die Lampe vorbereitend etwas höher gehangen. Als ich nach den drei Tagen wieder gekommen bin, hat die Pflanze einen Riesen Sprung gemacht. Leider sind einige Triebe zu nah ans Licht gewachsen und haben ein paar Hitze/Licht Schäden davongetragen. Alles in allem ist der Schaden meiner Meinung nach aber nur optischer Natur. Ansonsten wächst die Pflanze unglaublich schnell, ich versuche stetig die Seitentriebe rauszuholen, damit ein ebenmäßiges Pflanzendach entsteht. Bisher habe ich nur mit Wasser gegossen. Ich denke, wenn die ersten richtigen Blütezeichen einsetzen, werde ich düngen. Die Lampe ist weiterhin auf 60% gedimmt. Ich frage mich, wann ich anfangen sollte ein paar Blätter zu entfernen.

Day 56 ladies are really starting to get some massive buds, tent smells amazing! I can’t wait to see what this harvest looks like😍😍 Thanks for following & make sure to check back for daily updates friends! Happy growing✌️🏼🌱

Gonna give her a day or two more. Flushed the first few days with Winter Frost and Rubyful#$%. Loving the way its turning out

Week 4 flower - Day 27 of flowering - Day 83 of life Lemon cherry pie is a medium size plant(at least mine 😅) lots of buds sides and they are getting frosty. Not as big as I wish but they are getting tasty and smelly. Let’s go

Blue Mammoth is 3 months old today and was harvested today. 440 grams wet (untrimmed and still on the branches). Going to try drying with the leaves on, then doing a dry trim this time. She smells sweet and fruity. I'll post the harvest info after she has dried and cured.

Fade coming in nicely after 7 days of flush, 1 more week and these girls will be for the chop. Just took more cuttings from the mother ready for the next grow. I love Shining Silver Haze! 😋

Buds fattening up🤟I think in about 3-4 for more weeks will be harvest time 🔥

Well it's all gone to shit. Water temps can't be controlled with lights turned up..so turned the 1000w dimluxs off and now running just 4x 400w hps..had to stay in veg..given the roots and good wash and bath in alien rot x solution. Filter on circulation pump blocked with the gunge that's come off the roots..cleaned and refitted. 2 weeks before bigger chiller arrives. Keeping temps below 19c with lights turned down. Fingers crossed the roots recover nicely..

Starting my flush on this little beauty this week. #boom, I trimmed a few leafs around the stem area in the video I posted, check out the self LST on this girl so dam happy with this little project ✌️🌱✌️

@Barneys Runtz auto 2 topped Twice. Second topping after first node on second and third colas 20 days from seeding Awaiting transplantation and cloning)

This week I’m introducing my plant stands. It is a carousel design. They are lightweight, independent and can be put on/removed during growth with little effort or at the time of setup. I’ve had this idea for years, tried to find anything similar to it on line without success. I designed and assembled it about 2 years ago. It’s very versatile, can be modified for various uses and sizes, allows you 360 degrees access to you plant by rotation, brings you the ability to grow in a sea of green environment. Netting can be any size you desire and rotates with the plant. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Please take a look at my video this week that explains more. **The one on the plant now is actually designed for a 5 gallon bucket, I’ve simply modified it to work on this 2 gal bucket temporarily. This week she continues to outperform expectations and needed bracing because the weight of the flowers tipped her over. This was expected and remedied and all branches have now been spaced apart to allow bright lighting to penetrate deep into the plant. This is needed to mature out the lower buds. In another week I will cut back some more of the bigger leafs to allow even more light to get through. She continues to focus her energy on bud and trichome development (girth). The nutrient schedule has been updated as she is headed toward a late bloom cycle. Her smell is intensifying weekly. Maintain light power at 100% and PH at 6.24 I would highly recommend doing your own research on the blooming cycle. The change in nutrients is still controversial, but there is new and relevant studies that show of the main 3 NPK - K potassium was thought to boost flower production, the fact is this need on the plant remains relatively unchanged from vegetation through transition up to ripening. I continue to increase K in my schedule, but have started cutting back over this past year - up to 1/3 - without any noticeable difference. I have more that lends credibility to this theory I’ll explain next week. The case of bigger bud doesn’t mean anything special unless genetics and growth are in synergy. A quick note: I use General Hydroponics for nutrients and not this other one that is being listed, Terra Aquatica. I have no control over this update within Grow Diaries.

This week went pretty well for my sour diesel auto. She Finally stopped growing vertically at about 48 inches to the top of the highest cola. We did have a serious heatwave and high humidity I been dealing with as well, but so far so good. The only thing I changed this week with nutrients is I raised my ec value to 1.6, at the advice of another grower, and the sour diesel took it like the piglet that she is. I am still on an 18/6 light cycle,which I plan to stay with the entire grow, and still feeding Maxibloom, calmag, and koolbloom. I am seeing some bright orange colored spots on the top leaves, but I am hoping it is just a little light bleaching. I have no experience with this as I have NEVER grown anything indoors before other than vegetable seedlings. I just wanted to say thank you to this community for all the advice, tips and encouragement along the way, very much appreciated all, and Blaze On!

Flush flush Bigger buds buds Let’s prepare harvest :) Did the full cycle from the advanced nutrients feeding chart , know I flush and prepare the harvest , planing a late harvest for more cbn and relaxing high - and little bit other terps Today 16.02.2025 - blooming starts at 20.12.2024 - D59

7/7 These girls are 28 days old, roots appearing at bottom of 3 gal bag, time to transplant to 7 gal bags

week intel: we getting close to end of ripening , this week i raised drought , Nitrogen and E.C stress by feeding them 2 times per week and raised e.c to 3 to cause real stress that will help increase terpenes production stresses : Nitrogen deficiency Stress by removing the fertilizers that has N in them Drought stress via removing one meal in week high E.C stress around 1.7 and the other feeding day 3.0 , 2 times a week feeding: no more Nitrogen i feed them 2 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a medium e.c stress. day 3 : no more feeding this day day 5 : i feed them very high dose of Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster around 1500 ppm - 3 e.c to cause high e.c stress guide of the week : be patient in the last weeks, never hurry for harvest because its the time of ripening in last 2 weeks you should let plants to do their work last weeks of ripening is the time to break the limits we should cause 3 stresses as i said above Nitrogen stress , Drought Stress , E.C Stress
