Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week really threw me a curveball! I had a major equipment failure. On Wednesday (day 24 of flower) I went to check on the flower room about 3 hours after my lights should have turned on and noticed my S44 Ionboard was not powered on. I quickly began to asses the situation and determined that my actual driver on the light fixture was broken and there was no power running to the light. The light was also my main power source for my controller 69 pro, so it went off as well and was unable to let me know the light was powered off via the app. When I noticed this I called a grow-bro of mine, and asked if I could borrow his Viparspectra Par 700 he had, he purchased the AC Infinity Evo 10 Ionframes and had that light sitting around! Shout out to @Mr. Wowie for the quick save. With his help, I was able to get a light back over my plants within 4 hours. Not ideal but better than it could have been! The next day I was able to purchase and install a used HLG 550 locally. This light is even meaner than my old ionboard! Boasting 480 watts of power from the MeanWell drivers, Samsung LM301H diodes, it was repaired and has an import heat sink, however it doesn't seem to get too hot. It's very similar to my old light and the plants seem to be doing fine, with no signs of herming or extreme stress. This week I noticed both Phenos flowers are really beginning to swell up. By the end of flower I'm sure these nugs will be almost soda can sized. The number 1 Pheno is still purple as can be and has clearly not ceased it's anthocyanin production. The number 2 Pheno caught my eye, or more my nose this week it's giving off an awesome terp profile. It has a bit fruitier of a smell than the #1, sort of like a good peach strain, super lemon haze or good strawberry Pheno. Where it's really in your face. The #1 Pheno is total candy, sweet. Huge diversity in these 2 phenos! Very cool to see. I installed a new Dehumidifier this week to keep up with the humid spring. I purchased an Air Plus 50 pint on sale on Amazon. This dehumidifier works very well and has been doing a wonderful job at managing humidity levels in the flower room. I gave the last feeding of build a flower and tm-7 this week and will be watering with only water and Fish Sh!t from this point unless the plants tell me otherwise. Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The clones did not have as interesting of a week, however they have began shooting more branches out and are developing the stereotypical thick Raspberry Ripple stalk, we've come to know and love these last 5 months. They seem to be on a good growth pace to run a perpetual cycle with. I feel they'll be pretty well ready for flower by the time I harvest the original plants. I still plan to keep a mother of each Pheno. Then begin my next Pheno hunt of Whiteberry by Paradise seeds. That pretty much wraps this week's entry up! Until next week, Happy Growing!- Starfish

Ich habe wirklich Probleme mit ihrer Größe.Ich probiere heute sie mit einem scrog Netz etwas kleiner zu bekommen.Ich habe sie nun doch runtergebunden und supergecropt,da beim Versuch das Netz zwischen 2 Hockern zu spannen einer auf eine pflanze gefallen ist und ein trieb beschädigt wurde.Ansonsten bekommen sie weil sie jetzt so breit sind an manchen stellen wenig licht ab.Sie sollten sich aber wieder etwas aufrichten.

Everything is going good with Quebec blast. The roots have just cleared the basket. So hopefully good growth from here out. I am using a Spider Farmer SE5000.

Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North Part 2 — Drying, Trimming & Preserving the Harvest Before we begin, once again, we want to apologize for dividing this harvest into multiple reports. We know it can feel like a long journey to follow week after week, but honestly, this is the only way we can properly document everything in the level of detail that these plants deserve. Harvesting, drying, trimming, curing, resin collection, storage methods, smoke reviews… all of these stages are part of the final medicine. And instead of rushing through it in one giant post, we prefer to slow down and share every step in the most educational and transparent way possible. So welcome back to the frozen north. This is Part 2. ⸻ Ten days later, the room had completely changed. The giant living plants we harvested in the previous report had now transformed into hanging medicine. Slowly drying in darkness, at around 18–20°C and roughly 60% humidity, allowing the moisture to leave the flowers gradually instead of forcing them dry too quickly. For the first couple of days, humidity was brought slightly lower to help remove excess external moisture, but after that, conditions stabilized again for the slow dry we love so much. And then came that moment every grower knows. That little click. That beautiful snap in the branches that tells you the plant is finally ready. Not too wet. Not too dry. Just right. And honestly… after seeing these girls hanging there for days, fully intact, massive branches swinging slowly in the dark, it was finally time to begin the next ritual. Trimming day. ⸻ Gloves on. Scissors ready. Trim bin prepared. Medicine beside us. Mr. Baggy supervising operations as always. One branch at a time, we carefully broke the plants down by hand, slowly removing each flower from the stems before shaping every nug individually. No rush. No machine trimming. No shortcuts. Just patience, resin, and respect for the plant. And these Animal Mints girls absolutely covered everything in trichomes. The moment trimming started, the gloves became sticky almost immediately. Thick resin building layer after layer until eventually it rolled naturally into small dark hash balls directly from the fingers and gloves themselves. This is one of those little moments we genuinely love about harvest season. That sticky resin coating the gloves is essentially concentrated trichome resin — cannabinoids, terpenes, waxes, oils, and all the aromatic compounds that make the plant what it is. With a little warmth from the hands and gentle pressure, it naturally rolls together into traditional finger hash. Simple. Ancient. Beautiful. And of course… we also continued our little Moroccan-style “drums” with the trim. By gently agitating the dried trim across the screens, we collected an absolutely beautiful amount of dry sift. Bright golden-yellow resin, soft and sandy, full of aroma and life. No exact scale numbers this time — this was more about enjoying the process than chasing statistics — but the quality spoke for itself immediately. Honestly, this type of hash is one of our favorite ways to enjoy the plant. A little inside a joint, slowly melting together with the flower, enhancing both flavor and depth without overpowering the experience. Pure magic. ⸻ Now let’s talk numbers. And honestly… these girls performed beautifully. Plant A gave us: 127g Plant B gave us: 247.8g Plant C gave us: 287.9g For dense, compact, heavily resinous flowers grown 12/12 from seed, this is an outstanding result in our eyes. Especially considering the morphology of these plants. This style of growing continues to impress us more and more every single run. The plants remain relatively compact vertically, but the flower production becomes incredibly efficient. Tight node spacing. Massive bud stacking. Heavy trichome production. Strong support structure. Dense flowers without absurd plant height. The frozen north delivered once again. And standing there in the studio holding entire branches in both hands… honestly, it was impossible not to smile. Happy grower moment. ⸻ Once trimming was complete, the next mission began: Preserving the terpenes. Because harvest means nothing if the cure is bad. So this time we decided to test multiple storage methods side by side. Some flowers went into traditional glass jars — still one of our absolute favorite methods for long-term curing. Stable, simple, reliable, and something we continue to trust deeply. Some flowers went into vacuum-style Zamnesia metal containers, where air can be partially removed while maintaining stable conditions inside. Others went into vacuum plastic containers with pressure-sealed lids. And finally, part of the harvest also went into Grove Bags, since the yield was simply too large not to use multiple preservation systems. Inside several containers we also added 62% humidity control packs. These packs are not “magic terpene creators” or anything like that — they simply help stabilize relative humidity inside the container, preventing flowers from becoming either too dry or too moist during curing. The flowers themselves were already dried correctly before storage. That part is important. Humidity packs are not there to fix bad drying. They are there to help maintain stability afterward. And honestly, one of the most exciting things now will be revisiting these exact same flowers months later to compare how each storage method affected aroma, texture, smoothness, and terpene expression over time. Because curing is alive. Medicine changes. Terpenes evolve. And that journey is part of the magic too. ⸻ One thing we also want to mention is how much easier trimming became with the curved point Zamnesia scissors. It might sound like a tiny detail, but those curved tips genuinely help reach deep into dense flowers without damaging structure, allowing cleaner trimming while preserving the natural shape of the buds. Small tools. Big difference. ⸻ By the end of this session, trays were full, jars were packed, hash was collected, gloves were destroyed by resin, and the studio smelled absolutely unreal. pine, diesel and earthy. Animal Mints is looking amazing. And honestly… looking at those giant trimmed branches in the studio lights, it was one of those moments where you simply stop for a second and appreciate the entire journey from seed to harvest. Because this is more than growing plants. This is preservation of flavor. Preservation of resin. Preservation of time, patience, and intention. ⸻ But we are still not done. Not even close. The next report will be the final chapter of this frozen journey: the smoke review, terpene breakdown, curing evolution, flavor analysis, effects, and our complete final thoughts on Animal Mints from seed to harvest. And trust us… This girl still has a lot to say. ⸻ Huge thanks once again to everyone following this journey: Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron,FOG Lighting, the gear sponsors, the community, GrowDiaries, the growers supporting from day one, the silent followers, the commenters, the critics, the legends, the OGs… And of course, thank you to everyone taking the time to read these reports week after week.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Soon.

This girl took very well to LST and defoliating. Didn’t notice any sort of stunting from the defoliating, she chugged on as if nothing happened to her.

15-01-2022: These pictures are made about 2 minutes after lights went on. So still hanging a bit. They look a bit hungry I think so I added some fresh water with Ata Awa Max A/B. Why? What's wrong with Hy-Pro? Nothing, I got lazy and this was literally within reach of my hands. Will see what happens. 19-01-2022: They seem to like the higher EC. Buds are swelling pretty fast now. Since the RH is pretty low I don't expect that to be a problem. Still about 3-4 weeks left so pretty curious about the results :)

Gracias al equipo de Kannabia Seed y XpertNutrients, sin ellos esta magia no seria posible. 🍁💐 Runtz (Auto): Si esta cepa se ha ganado su popularidad a pulso, esta versión autofloreciente es digna heredera de sus atributos. No es de extrañar que nuestros criadores hayan acertado con su programa de reproducción, al combinar dos de las cepas más fascinantes de la actualidad: Zkittlez y Gelato. planta resistente y robusta, de cuerpo esbelto y fuerte ramificación lateral, que se puede cultivar prácticamente en cualquier entorno; pero prefiere los veranos largos y cálidos, tal y como quiere la madre naturaleza, donde bañada por el sol se eleva hasta los 120 cm. para producir unos rendimientos muy gratificantes de 100-150 gramos por planta. En interior, y tras solo 70 días desde la semilla, también recompensará con cosechas abundantes de hasta 500 gr./m² Inmediatamente después de encontrarte con ella, lo primero que notarás es su aroma descaradamente afrutado, con un toque tropical cortado con reminiscencias terrosas y amaderadas, que se entremezclan de forma agradable para ofrecer un combo que hace salivar las papilas gustativas. Ofrece un sabor confitado, refrescante y similar a sumergirse en una piscina de frutas cítricas y flores de fragancia intensa. Al inhalar, obtienes la bondad de la dulzura; al exhalar, el humo se convierte en suave y cremoso, dejando suficiente profundidad en cada bocanada para satisfacer a aquellos que buscan los matices más complejos. ⛽ XpertNutrients: es una empresa especializada en la producción y comercialización de fertilizantes líquidos 🍶y sustratos🐛, que garantizan los mejores resultados y cosechas de la más alta calidad.

Aplico una dosis de nutrientes y agua hasta el corte

Note : jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Day 29: + PPFD 550 * 20h = DLI 39.6 + Flaschenwasser mit Canna-Boost 1.5Liter Die war komplett Trocken ... kaum zu glauben lol Day 30: Sie alles recht normal aus . Es entfaltet sich noch . Day 31: + Flaschenwasse 2L EC 0.26 PH 7.3 + + mit Dünger EC 0.7 PH 5.7 + Drain 0.25L mit EC 0.9 PH 6.8 Fazit : ich übe noch mit dem Dünger und dem "zuviel" an Urgesteinsmehl :)) Day 32: Das Wetter ist eine Katastrophe . Draussen ist es 21°C mit 90%rH . Hier drinnen sind es im Zelt 26°C und 67%. Im GrowRoom ,also praktisch meine 1 Zimmer Wohnung mit 2x2m Niesche hat so 25.5°C und 60%rH. Luftentfeuchter läuft , sonst geht hier gar nichts, aber der produziert Abwärme . Will ich nun kalte Luft von draussen wirds hier mit 77%rH geantwortet aber die Temperaturen gehen runter :)) Lass ich es bleiben und entfeuchte , ich habe eine undichte Hütte was die Luftfeuchtigkeit betrifft , dann steigt die Wärme wieder . ES IST EIN TEUFELSKREIS :)) Aber wie gut das ich weiss das auch die ganzen CSC's und auch die Profis ihre liebe mühe haben die Temp und Luftfeuchtigkeit zu regeln . Und nein , ich werde mir keine Klimanalage einauen die beides regeln kann. Ich wollte nicht ewig viel Geld für das Gras ausgeben :)) Also liebe Brüder und Schwester des gepflegten Ganja komsumes und Produzenten , wir sitzen alle im selben Boot . Und jeder versucht der beste Kaptain zu werden :)) P.S. ich weiss, ein neues Bott wäre gut :) Aber dadurch ändert sich nicht das Meer :)) Day 33 : Das Spiderfarmer Zelt 70x70x140x200cm ist fertig und Einsatzbereit . Meine kleinen Zwerge ziehen um . Im großen Zelt läßt sich die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur besser regeln. Klingt komisch , ist es auch :)) Aber Ihr müsst auch nicht in denkbar schlechtester Bausubstanz leben und gärtnern :)) Day 34 : + Flaschenwasse 2L EC 0.26 PH 7.3 + + mit Dünger (Terra Vega 3.8ml/l , Rhizotonic 2.0ml/l , Boost 2.0ml/l , CannaZym 2.5ml/l ) = EC 0.7 PH 6.5 + + Final PH 6.1 Nach einigen Problemen mit der Abluft und der Umluft und die Luftfeuchtigkeit , versuchen die Zwerge sich jetzt im neuem Zelt zu aklimatisieren . Ich drück die Daumen . Day 35: Die Düngung war genau richtig . Meine Luftfeuchtigkeit geht auch . Temperaturen sind etwas hoch . Aber Sie entfaltet sich . Videos gibts heute Nacht. P.S. Da ich mal wieder zu schusselig bin eine Zeitschaltuhr und das Sanlight DIM System richtig zu nutzen , haben wir ein paar Lichtaussetzer gehabt , somit sind nicht an allen Tagen 20h Licht . In der nächsten Woche kommen 18h * PPFD 750 + 1h sonnenaufgang und + sonnenuntergang wird zu DLI 46.29 was etwas über das Limit von 45.00 geht . Schauen wir was passieren wird :))

Que pasa familia, vamos con la décima y última semana de floración de estas Green Gelato feminizadas de RoyalQueenSeeds. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 50% de potencia. La flor ya maduró y a tricomado bien, de las 3 solo 2 merecen la pena 1 salió tan , que ir aprovecharé pa hacer dry. Agradecer Agrobeta por el envío del kit gold series en cuestión, unos maestros 🙏 - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

I harvest her today and got 396,39g wet flower! I am super happy with my first grow! The LST and topping was a wonderful combination. I couldn't weight all together, because I didn't have a big enough bowl to fit all. Update: I got 88,02g weed after drying. Update: After trimming I got 61,39g left. With the 26,63g Trim i am going to make ice Hash.

Week 6 of flower

11.08.2024 sorry have loosing lot of photo as the timelaps cam sd card get corrupted.😒 from the 12 initial cut 8 have been keep, 2 didnt make it an the 2 other have been discard.

Weight on the first two Charlottes Angels are 33g and 25g. Grown about ten of these seeds and can't seem to get a decent yield with them. Day 102 Malana Bomb harvested. Weight on her is 72grams. Happy with that. I was thinking around 2ozs. Really tight buds liked the extra wattage I was giving at around 200watts Day 105 Orange Bud harvested weight is 48grams. Was expecting more but still some nice buds Just feeding the last 2 plants overdrive, bud candy and drip Clean at 550EC

Things are moving forward. My ladies seem to be doing well. “Josefine” is slowing down a bit, but still looks healthy. I took a few more chopsticks to help against the wind. But I can remove that now.

34 days. Looks like is doing fine…defoliation, a little bit of food, but mainly water. what do you think?
