Salokin GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 9 Veg | Outdoor Transition
She’s out. After 9 weeks of veg in the tent, the GMO × Triangle Mints BX mother officially made her outdoor debut this week.
Found her a wind-protected spot with maximum sun exposure throughout the day — still gets enough air movement to breathe and strengthen the stems, just no more of the harsh gusts we usually have to deal with. Should be a solid trade-off between stress reduction and canopy development going forward.
She’s sitting in a 38L bottomless airpot, slightly sunk into the ground. The idea is to give her a contained top-feed zone while letting the roots eventually push down into the native soil beneath — essentially an unlimited root run as the season progresses.
Nutrient-wise keeping it simple for veg: had 2L of Plagron Alga Grow sitting around so she’ll be running that through late June / early July. Got her Mykos at transplant and will supplement with Aptus Regulator from time to time. Once she flips I’ll transition her onto flower nutes.
Not setting the bar too high given our summers, but if she performs the way the genetics suggest she should, 300–500g dry for hash production would be a great result.

Salokin GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 10 Veg | First LST, Pushing Through Cold Snap
She’s still out there doing her thing. Week 10 of veg and despite a rough stretch — cold days, nights dropping well below 10°C at times, and plenty of rain — she’s been drinking when conditions allowed, with a feed managed on the drier days.
Did some light LST this week to open up the canopy and she’s taken to it well. Tops are spreading nicely and light penetration into the lower structure has improved noticeably. Considering the temperatures she’s been dealing with, she’s looking solid.
Worth noting — the smell is already quite intense for a plant still in veg. A promising sign of what’s to come once she hits flower.
Still on Plagron Alga Grow exclusively. No reason to change what’s working.
The forecast for the coming week is a decent step up — temperatures pushing towards 27°C by Thursday, though Tuesday is looking wet with around 15mm of rain expected. After that it should ease off. Winds staying light throughout, which suits her spot well. If that warmth holds she should put on some serious growth heading into week 11.

Salokin .GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 11 Veg | Holding Steady Through the Cold
Another week in and she’s still holding her own. Temperatures stayed cold throughout — nights dropping well below 10°C again — but she hasn’t shown any signs of stress. Drinking steadily, looking healthy, no complaints.
The canopy continues to fill out nicely from last week’s LST. Structure is building exactly the way you’d want it ahead of the stretch.
Still on Plagron Alga Grow exclusively for nutrients. On the biology side, she got Super Microbes RootX at transplant — mycorrhiza, Trichoderma and 13 Bacillus strains straight into the root zone from day one. BoostX is running on a two-week interval on top of that, covering a broader microbial spectrum including Lactobacillus, Rhodopseudomonas palustris and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both highly recommended for outdoor runs — compatible with mineral and organic feeds and the root development speaks for itself.
The smell remains notably intense for a plant still in veg — a good indicator of what the resin production is going to look like once she hits flower.
This coming week is finally looking like a turning point — temperatures pushing up to 27°C, winds staying light. If she responds the way she should to that warmth after weeks of cold, week 12 could look very different.

Salokin GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 12 Veg | Growth Surge, CalMag Issue Spotted and Corrected
She’s responded to the warmer weather exactly as expected. Up to 110cm this week, canopy has spread wide and the branch structure from the earlier LST is really starting to pay off — plenty of well-spaced tops developing underneath.
Not all good news though. Mid-canopy leaves started showing interveinal yellowing — classic CalMag deficiency symptoms, traced back to pH drift affecting uptake rather than an actual shortage in the feed. Switched over to CANNA Aqua Vega with added CalMag Agent and dialled in the pH more carefully. Seems to have arrested the issue, at least from what’s visible so far.
She’s now running the same feed schedule as the indoor plants — two feeds with full nutrients, one feed plain water. Nutrients: CANNA Aqua Vega 4ml/l, Canna CalMag Agent 1.1ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. LST ongoing.
The forecast ahead is looking like the best stretch of the season so far — temperatures potentially hitting 30°C next week, nights staying mild, winds light. If she stays healthy she should put on serious mass over the coming weeks.

Salokin GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 13 Veg | Recovery, Defoliation, Pushing On
She’s bounced back well. The CalMag correction from last week has done its job — foliage is looking dark green and healthy across the canopy, no progression of the deficiency symptoms. Good to see the recovery was as quick as the diagnosis.
Did a defoliation this week to open up airflow and light penetration through the increasingly dense canopy. At 115cm and still in veg she’s building a serious frame — the LST continues to keep the tops even and spread wide.
Feed schedule unchanged: two feeds with CANNA Aqua Vega 4ml/l, CalMag Agent 1.1ml/l and Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l, one feed plain water. pH locked at 6.2, EC at 1.5 mS/cm, 3L per feed.
The coming week looks warm but unsettled — temperatures staying around 24–25°C with a chance of showers and possibly some thunderstorm activity later in the week. The warmth is welcome, the shelter of her spot will do its job if things get rough.

Salokin GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 14 Veg | Summer Mode, Drinking Hard
She’s in full summer mode now. 125cm and still pushing, the canopy has spread into a wide, dense structure that’s starting to look exactly like what you’d want going into the back half of veg. The LST work from the earlier weeks is paying dividends — even canopy, multiple well-developed tops, good light penetration throughout.
Water consumption has jumped noticeably this week, up to 5L per feed from 3L previously. She’s clearly found her root zone and is pulling hard in the warmer conditions. A good sign heading toward the solstice.
Nutrients unchanged: CANNA Aqua Vega 4ml/l, CalMag Agent 1.1ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. pH holding steady at 6.2, EC at 1.5 mS/cm.
We’re sitting at around 16.5 hours of daylight right now with the solstice still two weeks away — she’ll stay comfortably in veg for several more weeks before the shortening days eventually push her toward transition. Plenty of time left to build the frame she needs.
The coming week looks warm but with some unsettled spells — mixed sun and cloud with a chance of showers. Winds staying manageable. Anything that brings some natural watering is welcome at this consumption rate.

@Salokin, 🤔
Könntest zusätzlich eine Heizmatte mit Thermostat, alternativ auch Infrarot an die Töpfe knallen, damit die in den kalten Nächten nicht auskühlen..✌️
@Borberad, an sich keine schlechte Idee, Krieg da blos leider kaum Strom hin. da sie aber schon so alt ist hoffe ich mal das sie das auch so schafft. 🤞
@Tower84, Danke dir, fingers crossed, sie kriegt auf jedenfall ordentlich Sonne, wenn sie welche kriegt 🤪. werde mir wohl ein billo bauhaus gewächshaus für den Herbst holen müssen, aber das ist ein Problem für später..
@birdmountain meine Mütter kommen alle paar Monate normaler Weise auf den Kompost, aus Platzmangel, gibt aber schon wieder ne deutlich kleinere Version und da im nächsten run andere genetiken mal wieder dran sind, habe ich da wieder etwas Zeit bis ich sie brauchen werde.
Nächster run wird Star Pebbles x Orange Zkittlez, Rainbow Soap von LIT (der Louda Cut) und ne Blue Zlime
(Grounded genetics) von roots farm. Letzten beiden sind eher Tests um zu sehen wie sie bei mir performen (da ich da schon gewisse Ansprüche an yield und terpene Profil stelle)
@birdmountain waren mal Regs von Surfr Seeds, ist aber auch ein cut den ich schon ein paar mal angebaut habe (kenne die meisten pflanzen die ich hier habe mittlerweile sehr gut) deswegen werden die neuen auch immer erstmal einzeln getestet. Wenn die laufen stehen das nächste mal 6 davon im Zelt. LIT wirds aber glaub ich werden, wenn ich mir die Struktur im VEG so anschaue..
@Tower84, hast schon recht, teile meine Pflanzen bloß immer so ungern mit all den Viechern.
Aber das warme Wetter gefällt ihr auf jeden Fall besser als die temps über die Eisheiligen 🙃
@Salokin, Outdoor ist wie Achterbahn fahren, ein auf- und ab der Gefühle. Man hat nur bedingt die Kontrolle und ist abhängig vom Wetter. Kann gut laufen, kann aber auch in die Hose gehen. Aber indoor unter dem Dach gebe ich mir dieses Jahr nicht mehr, die Temperatur und der RLF stresst mich zu sehr.
@Tower84, ohne Split ging’s bei mir im Sommer garnicht. Licht ist bei mir eh immer nur nachts an, fängt aber gerade schon wieder a das ich bei mir im Zelt wenn Licht aus ist die gleiche Temperatur habe wie nachts mit Klima und Licht an ….
@Kushycat, die Hoffnung stirbt zu letzt 😉sie war ein bissel unglücklich über den ignorierten ph, habe ich jetzt aber korrigiert und sie scheint wieder etwas glücklicher …vegge jetzt die unten noch ein bissel drinnen vor und dann kommt jeweils die stärkste in die Nachbarschaft der großen…
@Salokin,Nice! Ich mag die Erde auch so gerne, die ist supi. Hast du mal die Organic-Variante davon getestet? Leider gibt es hier nur die wie auf dem Bild bei dir, und 70 Liter Erde bestellen finde ich irgendwie strange 😄 Ich mein, der arme Postbote und sein Rücken.
Nimmst du jedes Mal frische Erde oder machst du die Wurzeln raus und verwendest sie nochmal? Die anderen Pflanzen machst du dann drinnen weiter?
@Kushycat ich hole die immer im Bauhaus und da gibt’s leider nur diese auf dem Foto , ist von der Preisleistung her unschlagbar, außerdem passt ein Sack immer genau in einen 60l Topf. Ich verwende sie im Garten in der Regel weiter, aber ungern im Zelt, da ich so schon häufig genug mit Viehzeug zu kämpfen habe.
@Kushycat, ich auch, ist schon viel Monde her das ich Outdoor experimentiere….für ein paar 25 gr plakas sollte es aber definitiv reichen, sollte so durchkommen 🙃
@birdmountain, Normaler weise fliegen die Mamas alle par monate auf den kompost bei mir, da sie mir sonst yu groß für mein 1.2 x 1.2 Zelt werde, ich mittlerweile ein par habe, aber diesmal dachte, stell ich mal eine raus zum hash machen.
