Hi, As pictures show, doing good. I feel the difference in drinking water increasing during this past week. Still very dry conditions at the moment because of the outside wheater. Also temps start to rise until 27.8 when the 2 tents are operatif at the same time, as the little tent outgoing airstream goes to the big tent. About the girls, blue lst has a nice main cola, 2 fists high ( depending on the size of your hands ofcourse 😅😅)21cm. She also holds a few lower, but still nice budformations coming in place. Her sister, whos been lined, shows less of that enermous growth sprint. Still, very pleased with the outcome of my first mainline project so far(50cm). She recoverd from the dry stress of last week, showing of new white pistels in the air. Third lady in the room is sweet moby, she follows because of the later change to 12/12, with a good pace . I havent managed the space and height of this lady as well as the bluedream. None the less, dispite losing 1 arm in the beginning( because of being to brutal), she became a very nice plant of 62cm. See yall next week 🍀🍀🍀

- slowly increasing nutrient doses toward prescripted BioBizz chart quantities, but still, every second and a half watering is pure water :)

First week was running quite well. VPD could be more on point but it's alright. The lights are now at 25% (~66W). I'm just not quite sure if I should just let them grow or if I should LST them. Allegedly King's Juice has a nice natural structure. Oh boy I just had to put an early update in. King's Juice #3 is exploding while #1 is continuing to be the drama queen

New week, new problem. The buds are getting too heavy and the stems can't manage much longer. I'm worried I might get a moisture problem as dense as it is. I'm definitely monitoring the humidity.

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 3 VEG Report 12/12 from seed | Vegetative phase ongoing General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth closes with Animal Mints standing out for exceptional leaf detail, natural structure, and active branching behavior. Both plants are thriving, each expressing itself according to its own timeline, yet sharing the same healthy rhythm seen across the room. This is one of those cultivars where detail becomes the story. ⸻ Growth & Structure • Stage: Vegetative • Flowering signs: None confirmed • Pre-flower: Possible very early indication on one plant (not yet definitive) Plant A — with prior vegetative period • Veg history: ~15 days under 18h light • Node count: ~8 • Size: Significantly larger (as expected) • Branching: Strong and active • Leaf size: Large, dominant, highly detailed On this plant, light leaf bending / leaf tucking has begun. Large fan leaves are gently tucked or repositioned underneath the canopy to: • Improve light penetration • Encourage lower branch development • Balance apical dominance • Promote a more even structure This is not aggressive training — no topping, no tying, no stress. It’s a soft, observational approach, simply guiding leaves out of the way so the plant can express its natural branching potential. ⸻ Plant B — 12/12 from seed • Node count: ~4 • Size: Smaller, as expected • Branching: Surprisingly active for its size • Training: None Even without any intervention, lower branches on this plant are already reaching upward naturally, showing excellent hormonal balance and structural intent. ⸻ Leaf Expression & Detail Animal Mints truly shines in leaf morphology: • Extremely fine serration detail • Subtle curves along each leaf finger • Clean edges, no deformation • Deep, lush green coloration The level of detail is remarkable — almost sculptural — and clearly genetic rather than environmental stress–related. ⸻ Training Status (Clarified) • Leaf bending / tucking: • Applied only on the larger, vegged plant • Gentle, non-stressful • Focused on opening the canopy • No other training performed: • No topping • No LST • No defoliation The goal remains support, not control. ⸻ Veg vs 12/12 Comparison This folder offers a clear and valuable comparison: • The plant that received a veg period is larger and more developed • The plant run 12/12 from seed is smaller, but structurally similar • Both show strong natural branching Notably, the vegged plant is still not flowering, despite already spending three weeks under 12/12. This suggests the plant is still prioritizing structure and energy storage. ⸻ 📸 Photo Documentation This week includes studio-style photos, including images of the plants held close during documentation. One of the photos features the Plagron jacket, included as a natural thank-you for the nutrition program and gear used throughout the grow. ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • VPD: In optimal vegetative range • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Environmental stability remains consistent across the room. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (plant-size dependent) • Plants growing naturally into the light • No stretch, no light stress ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • Watering method: Hand-watered • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Used selectively and intentionally ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Next Week) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Stronger lower branch response on the vegged plant • Possible clearer pre-flower signals • Increased structural definition What not to expect (yet): • Full flowering • Explosive stretch • Need for aggressive training ⸻ Final Thoughts Animal Mints closes Week 3 as expressive, detailed, and naturally structured. Leaf morphology and autonomous branching are already setting the tone, while gentle leaf tucking is helping guide the canopy without disrupting the plant’s rhythm. No forcing. No shortcuts. Just support, observation, and respect for the process.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Beautiful looking seedling, very healthy and developing at a fair pace, let's see what awaits us in this diary!! She's developing super fast each day just like her sisters in this run, let's see how she keeps developing! I only use pure water and watch them grow thanks to the amazing living soil blend that I'm working with called FLO Living soil blend, very recomended to all the organic gardeners out there!! I have Transplanted this big girl after just 17 days since she was planted, she is very well developed and so ai took the decision to transplant her and all her sisters in this run, let's see how she performs! 💚❤️💛👨‍🌾🔝

Happy to finish one cycle and start a new one, that's the good news. The bad news is that I didn't write down any of the clones I took, but I've already seen that most are Bakers, maybe there's a Pure Glitter one, hopefully! The reason for not identifying them is that they were in a place not conducive to rooting because the humidifier broke and on very hot days, an improvised lamp was used. I actually doubted that any would survive, but here we are. I will notify you if I manage to determine if any others are different genetics, but I remember the smell of the veg of this Bakers as if it were yesterday. Transplanted into 7-liter pots and I added 15g of bokashi to each soil level, watering with about 1L in order to leach some microorganisms that I inserted and some beneficial bacteria for roots and prevention of gnat proliferation, Trichoderma Harzianum for roots and Bacillus Turingensis Israelis for mosquito larvae.

Would definitely recommend for an easy grow. Takes forever due to 100% sativa genetics but well worth the grow. Smells just like cannalopes with a hint of cocoa and a strong dank/sour odor. High is fantastic starting and feeling heaviest right behind the eyes/sinuses. Spreads to extremities in a slight relax feeling. The taste and smell of the smoke is extremely smooth and tastes like the sour + cantaloupes. The buds have a lot of shades of green but are predominantly dark covered in crystals. Smell isn’t extremely strong in bag but once buds begin breaking apart it is almost unbearable and resin makes it hard to break apart by hand do grinder is needed.

Week 11 - Lemon Cherry cookies Auto the smell on these enhanced by 60% in the last couple days. This will be the last week of flower I’m going to let the pot dry another day. Then it will sit in 48hrs of darkness before I karate chop them. This has be the hardest decision on when to chop. It’s very unique how both plants look very different The purple one smells exactly like lemon cherry candy while the multi colored one smells like a lemon Cookie. Happy growing good luck everyone !

About 100 tops! Plant is as wide as it is tall. Going to cut clones before I put her into flower. This strain requires very, very little water. It responds to over watering more than any plant I've ever grown.
