Mentha De Croco | Week 16 from Seed – Week 5 of Flower Welcome to the wild side of the garden, where structure meets soul and every leaf has a story to tell. We’re deep in flower now, and our Mentha De Croco mutants are showing us what it truly means to be one-of-a-kind. Each girl in this tent is a canvas — some broad and expressive, others tight and intricate, and all of them thriving under the rhythm of precision care and the flow of intention. Feeding This Week | Aptus Holland Clean Program (Mineral Line): This week, we bring power and push, dialing in both structure and development with a nutrient stack designed for the mid-flower leap. Here’s what’s going into the mix and why: Regulator 0.15 ml/L Sets the tone for the mix. It improves nutrient uptake, strengthens cell walls, and enhances resistance to stress. Always added first for best results. System Clean 0.25 ml/L Sterile and safe. Keeps the root zone clean and oxygen-rich, no room for pathogens, only healthy, vigorous growth. RO Water Conditioner 0.8 ml/L Balances and stabilizes RO water by buffering it and making minerals more bioavailable. All-in-One Liquid 2 ml/L The backbone of the feed. Full-spectrum minerals in perfect balance, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, P & K, all instantly plant-available. Breakout Powder Low-dose booster for bloom phase We reintroduce Breakout Powder this week to gently push the flower sites into their next stage of development, not overloading, just guiding with finesse. This formulation boosts phosphate and potassium uptake, critical for stacking flowers while keeping internodes tight. Reservoir Stats: pH: 6.23 EC: 1.58 Water Temp: 18.8°C Environment & Vibe: They’re under the Future of Grow LED lights, bathing in full-spectrum glory, all managed and finely balanced by the reliable Trolmaster system. It’s a controlled jungle in here — beauty meets data. Plant Notes: Each plant continues to grow as its own universe. The flower formations are odd, beautiful, twisting, and stacking in ways that only mutants can. This is where form meets fascination — a pure expression of what cannabis genetics can be when you let go of expectations and allow nature to do her freaky, flawless thing. Shoutouts & Infinite Gratitude: To @terpyz_genetics for blessing us with this bouquet of mutant magic To @aptus_holland, the clean science behind the healthiest roots and biggest smiles To @trolmaster , for mastering the environment with ease To @futureofgrow, the light at the center of this visual storm To the Grow Diaries platform, the community, the silent readers, the loud learners, the lovers, the haters, we’re all growing together 🙌 Let’s never forget: Beauty isn’t uniform.

Start of week 6 of flower for Kalini Asia Gave her another defoliation just stuff that was covering bud sights. Still getting fed everyday with bottom feeding, this week i did banana peel water with extra cal-mag added too. Going back to water only after she gets another feed of Bio Enhancer.

Last week in vegitation,in the last few weeks had a bit of work to do with the Dank Berry to give a shape to this plant as she is a very fast growing plant. Nutrients Plagron Light Marshydro ts 3000 450w

Day 34 this lady is running, I can see flowers getting bigger every day, smell started really really soon this time so I already had to add the Carbon Filter. I’d like to close the cycle in less then 80 days. It would be great First flowering fertilisation Ph 6.2 Ppm 631 Day 37 - 9 of flower 🌸 Started blooming fertilisation, I’m keep Giving all-in one from aptus, i think I lm substitute with super pk and I stop all in one. Ph 6.2 Ppm 731 As I’m growing an solito in a 9.2 lt pots with all mix nutrients I’m slowing down with all in one and just giving base feedings, I ll decide later if I should give super-pk for the next weeks Day 40, tomorrow will be feeding days. Sge’s going really well, resin is already showing up on flowers that are several as and colorfull, smell is already there 🤤 Tomorrow update with feedings parameters. Day 41 feeding day Aptus regulator 0,15ml/1 lt Aptus all in one 1,25ml/1lt Aptus Topbooster 0,3 ml Aptus enzym + 0,5 ml Calmag 0,3 ml /L Ph 6,18 Ppm 756 Let’s see

------GENERAL COMMENT------ All good, had a flawless week with the girls. Experiencing a lot of issues with the LED though, because of the high humidity in the tent when the lights are out, have to manage that some how... Basically the led matrix fails and blinks till the humidity lower, with this i loose around 1 hr of light a day till it starts all leds... A strange thing to experience! Forgot to start with the flowering booster, so this week missed Big Bud, but still i gave frequently some Bud Ignitor at least. Next watering Bud ignitor and voodoo juice goes out, Big Bud and Velo Kelp come in to play. ------SM.BB COMMENT------ She did not branch a lot out, so i can count with around 10 branches roughly. Maybe that was due to over removal of the lower growth. Lets see what happens next and how do those will develop.

contentísimo con esos buds

I chopped them after 63 flowering days hang them upside down for two weeks, trim them hand trimming then after that cured them inside jar glass 58 humidity and 20 Celsius, after curing this is what the most head banger strain from all of them it’s definitely indica dominant with very unique taste and long lasting high, I would grow it again definitely!

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 33 since time change to 12/12. Hi everyone 😃. The lady continues to develop very nicely :-). The buds get thicker and look tastier 😅. This week it was poured 2 times with 1.2 l each time. The tent was cleaned and everything checked for functionality.

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

Welp, These took a Bit longer than my Cream Cookies and still didn't fill out quite like I thought they would.. But they are still a very beautiful strain and a joy to have grown. They smell stronger and way more lovely than the cream cookies thou just a beautiful aroma I'd really like to grow these again Indoors where I can control them easier. (Sadly they dried into wispy nothings and we turned them all into bubble hash) #3 took the hit of some aphids and ended up in a frozen hash pile in our fridge along with two cream cookies from the run. It's frozen weight combined was 203g. *will update with dry*

Some huge colas on two of them. I need to run them again. This strain is a true champion. Yield, looks, resin, terps everything on point. I don’t really mind that she needs some extra time. 9 weeks minimum. 29.09 Cleared runoff. Full tanks ec 1.6 ph 6.2 Removed one top bud of vf2 and g3 due to botrytis. But addition of particulate filters and uvc lamp seems to have helped a lot. It’s been very humid this time around. Even now in the late stage of flower it’s high 60%

Yesterday (day 32), I watered 500ml each of FNG at 4.5ml/g ph’d to 6.5. As you can see they needed it. Today (Day 33), the girls were ready for more water. Before watering, I amended the topsoil with roughly 1/2C of worm castings each to help the soil microbiology. After, I gave them 1L each of plain water ph’d to 6.5. I then did a heavy defoliation, exposing the undergrowth to more light; allowing it to catch up to the other taller growth. I estimate it’ll be another 7-10 days before transplanting to a larger 3gal pot.

Its showing the potential they got

Nice dank fruity smelling nugs. perfect stacking. very heavy. highly recommended for novice growers but not new growers.

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Que pasa familia, venimos de nuevo ,actualizamos otra semana de floración y es que nuestras crazy cookies están cogiendo un tamaño colosal, todavía escupen flores, seguiremos abonando con advanced nutrients con el ph regulado correctamente, bajamos algo más la humedad prefiero que a esta altura ya no supere el 40%. Hemos hecho una limpia de hojas bajeras y la luz ya asoma por todas las partes de la planta. Ya hasta la semana que viene suficiente, un saludo para todos los fumetillas.
