🌱 Week 1 Update: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco Journey 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! The Mentha de Croco sprouts are officially a week in, and they’re already showing off their unique personality, each one growing at its own pace. They’re rocking some funky vibes and loving life inside the dome! Here’s a full update on their progress, care, and setup for Week 1. Living Environment: The Humidity Dome Setup The seedlings are living in a humidity dome, where we’re keeping the relative humidity (RH) close to 100%. This level of RH mimics a tropical environment, creating the ideal conditions for delicate young plants that need extra hydration support as they begin to develop roots and leaves. Why High Humidity? • Encourages Strong Root Development: At nearly 100% RH, plants focus on root growth while pulling in moisture directly from the air, helping them establish themselves early on. • Protects from Stress: The high humidity reduces transpiration (water loss through leaves), which prevents drying and keeps seedlings hydrated. • Promotes Healthy Leaf Growth: With constant access to moisture, the leaves expand smoothly, giving each plant a strong start in the vegetative phase. Growth Status & Observations 🌱 These little mutants are showing some funky characteristics and growing at their own unique pace—a perfect reminder that no two plants are the same! Each seedling has sprouted its initial set of leaves, and I’m seeing great promise in their vigor and resilience. Key Observations: • Color: The seedlings are a healthy green, with some displaying slight variances in shade—typical of unique genetics like Mentha de Croco. • Structure: Leaves are developing steadily, with short internodes (the space between sets of leaves) that hint at nice, compact growth patterns as they continue. • Energy: Each plant seems to be finding its rhythm, which is a beautiful thing to watch! Some are taking their time, while others are diving right into rapid growth. Nutrients & Supplements 💧 For this first week, I’m keeping it light on nutrients, letting the seedlings draw what they need from the Root Riots and the remaining seed stores. However, I’ve continued using Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster, both at 1ml/L, to support foundational growth. Why These Nutrients? • Aptus Regulator: Adds silicon to fortify cell walls, giving the seedlings extra strength to handle environmental changes. Even under the dome, this helps build resilience. • Aptus Startbooster: Supplies essential microbes and root stimulators, setting up these little ones for explosive root growth once they’re ready to venture outside the dome. Lighting: FOG LED & Environmental Control 💡 I’ve kept the Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED dimmed to around 200 PPFD to avoid overwhelming these tender seedlings with too much light. They’re getting just enough energy to support healthy photosynthesis without stressing them in their early stages. Lighting Benefits at Low Intensity: • Prevents Stretching: With the lower PPFD, plants stay compact and focused on root and leaf development rather than reaching for the light. • Supports Early Photosynthesis: The FOG LED’s balanced spectrum provides all the wavelengths these seedlings need to kick off photosynthesis and grow with vitality. Controlled through the TrolMaster Tent X, the lighting schedule is consistent and stable. With this controller, I can manage humidity, lighting, and temperature settings all from one place, ensuring the environment stays perfect for these little ones. Reflection & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡 Week 1 is about creating a stress-free environment for seedlings to adjust and establish themselves. Here’s a bit of wisdom for anyone embarking on a similar grow: 💧 Humidity & Hydration: High humidity is a seedling’s best friend. Keep your dome or grow area humid for strong, happy plants. 💡 Light Management: Keep lighting low to encourage compact growth and let those roots dig in. Adjust lighting gradually as they grow to avoid any shock. 🌱 Patience with Genetics: Each plant has its own rhythm, especially with unique genetics like these. Let them show you what they’re made of without pushing too fast. Shout Outs & Community Love 💚 Much love to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for the nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED, and TrolMaster for the environmental control. Big shout out to everyone following this journey—it’s always a blast sharing with you all. Let’s keep the positive energy flowing and watch these seedlings turn into something amazing together! Stay tuned for Week 2 updates—more growth, more funk, and more growers’ love!

Day 47 of flower

I messed my days up this is day 5 week 4 Week 5 : 7/15/23

End of week 3, moving into week 4. The ladies got one of their very last defoliation. And definitely need some water and a feeding. So I top dressed with worm castings, Gaia Green's 284 and a touch of 444. Also got some recharge as well! Super simple! Just keeping my temps and humidity dialed in as good as I can and keeping a good feed schedule and water schedule and they're thriving very easy organic grow!

Flowers are developing nicely. These stretches more that I thought they would burn I’m happy because I’m not a fan of short bushy plants. Everything is healthy

Day 68 flower. I stopped using the Ripen on day 65. Since then I've been using Florakleen at 2tsp per gallon and RO water only for flush. Pineapple express is flushing at a faster rate still. I had to brace several colas because of the size so I'm really watching closely for any molding issues. I'm planning to hang her up at day 71ish. Rainbow cake is turning a little purple. It looks like its almost finished and I'm planning to pull around day 71 as well. London mint cake is finishing up nicely. I think she's going to need a little more time flushing so she might get pulled a little later than the other 2. Hope you like my pics and videos!

D57/F13 - 27/05/23 - Added sunset and sunrise (only red lights for 1,5 hours at the start and 1,5 at the end) D58/F14 - 28/05/23 - I set up my AFD (see picture). I find a way to feed her automaticly when I 'll be out, Every day I start the pump for 30 sec (about) to give her 2 liters of nutes with my AFS (Automatic Feeding System) D59/F15 - 29/05/23 - Automatic feeding D60/F16 - 30/05/23 - Automatic feeding D61/F17 - 31/05/23 - Automatic feeding D62/F18 - 01/06/23 - Automatic feeding D63/F19 - 02/06/23 - I'm back, Nora looks ok, automatic feeding works. A little bit of problem with timelaps framing, but it's ok, I've got all info I need. EC 0.9 and pH 6.5

Shout outs to MiyaguiOkPolilla for the lateral training tip, as you guys can see, we have bent them and hopefully this will double our flower power, lets see what happens growers!

…

Trichomes are looking milky and full. Going to give one more light feeding, and then flush em towards the end of the week. G13 has some calyxes that are growing in top of existing bud... possible this one keeps growing for another week, but seems like Banana is ready to go. Is there any downside to getting one gallon sized Mason jars for curing? I've yet to have a successful dry/cure, so really hoping to dial it in this time with the proper climates.

*Day 5 *Both stretching towards the light, would like to lower it but waiting on another one to finish *#1 is an inch and a half,#2 is 2 inches * Part of the seed shell still stuck on both * Misting with spray bottle and "watering" from bottom

🎊 Week 12 is officially over ! I’m really pleased with the progress she’s finally stepping fully into that Purple Banana expression 🍌🍭 The buds are still packing on size, and every day brings us closer to harvest. I checked the trichomes again and we’re starting to see a nice mix: mostly milky with a few turning amber. Since the last feeding, I’ve been giving her only RO water to avoid oversaturating the soil before the finish. With two more weeks as our target, we’ll push one final week of feeding before the flush 💦🌊 One of my biggest joys as a grower is bringing out the unique characteristics of the strains I pick up as close as possible to what the breeder intended. For me, it’s not all about chasing yield. Genetics vary, and sometimes even in perfect conditions, your plants won’t look like the online photos or hit those top shelf sizes you see everywhere. But here’s the truth: If your environment, feeding/watering routine, and training techniques are on point, you’re almost guaranteed a potent, high-quality plant, regardless of final weight. So don’t stress yourself Focus on mastering your craft, learning your strains, and dialing in your system. With time and consistency, everything clicks and seeing that progress in real time on this grow has been incredibly rewarding. 😊 One last week of feeding for this beautiful monster Let’s finish strong! 🕺🏾👊🏾 Happy growing gang 💚🌱

Hello growers day 49 in the garden with Zkittlez I’m sorry iv missed a few weeks been occupied elsewhere but I’m back and these two lady are doing excellent there budding up nicely around 90 cm in hight so there pretty big for autos but can’t wait to see the end until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

Everything is growing good. I've been doing regular feed of green rush bloom, recharge, & foop sweetner. I have been plucking big fan leaves on top covering other bud sites off. I will do a big defoliation on week 3. I still have a little underneath I could lollipop off. I try not to take much off at one time until wk3. The 2 slapz plants are not stretching much. They are a couple of the shortest plants in the tent. But it's only week 2 of flower. I turned the light on to 75% and it's at 20in from canopy right now. Did a heavy defoliation day 18 of

Saw a big jump in bud size this week.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 8 with our majestic Big Cheese Auto is like stepping into a festive wonderland, and the excitement is reaching its crescendo. A colossal shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting. Our green queen is dancing through her fourth week of flowering, and oh my, what a spectacle! It's like she's transformed into a true monster bush, embracing the Christmas tree structure with open arms. The Autopot system continues to be the backstage pass, allowing her to sip on a nutrient feast with grace. It's like the VIP treatment for a botanical masterpiece. Nutrient Maestros: P-Boost, Topbooster, and now, the latest addition, K-Boost, continue their nutrient symphony. It's like the Three Tenors of the botanical world, creating a harmonious bloom with organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, trace elements, and maturation magic. The anticipation for those colossal, aromatic buds is now heightened by the maturation finesse brought by K-Boost. Ah, the sweet scent of success! The aroma has started to unveil itself, a tantalizing mystery that accompanies the vast trichome production. It's like the plant's way of whispering secrets of the flavors that await. The olfactory journey has begun, and I'm eagerly anticipating the unveiling of this aromatic masterpiece. Our TDS is maintaining its robust 420 , and the pH, a symphony at 6.0. The Autopot and the nutrient trio are now conducting an orchestra of botanical brilliance. It's like a green harmony that resonates through every leaf and bud. Our Christmas tree is getting its final touches. The leaf-bending spectacle continues, creating an even canopy that basks in the natural light. Defoliation is a delicate grooming session, ensuring every bud gets its moment in the spotlight. It's like preparing for the grand finale of this floral extravaganza. A colossal thank you to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the incredible community. Your support is the heartbeat of this flourishing green odyssey. As we step into the next week, the excitement is palpable. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's evolving into a botanical marvel.

Chopping these little ladies was pretty simple because of their size but trimming was a sticky mess I had to clean my shears after every buds because of the amount of resin. I will be growing this strain again with an actual veg so I can see how great it really is and I definitely recommend you try it as well
