In the first week after switching to a 12/12 light cycle, the plant appears healthy and hasn't shown rapid growth yet, but its green mass is increasing rapidly 🌱. All seems promising for the flowering phase ahead! 😊

Greetings growers,I took the two girls out of the greenhouse because it is getting very hot, they will finish flowering outside. Both are starting to produce beautiful compact flowers that are getting bigger every day. Starting to smell very good around here.😎

The grow went great except for the males in the bunch (buying fem next time). Grew incredibly fast during veg which was hard to keep up with if I didn't manage every day. Very leafy and responded well to LST and topping. Fim didn't seem to give as good of a response as topping did. Had a accidental top of about 2 or 3 nodes and every branch underneath just about exploded. I kept the nutes in check (800ish) included with a 6/2 light cycle during veg. The 2 hour night cycles really gave them a chance to recover so my leaves looked pristine the entire grow. Flower she stretched more than expected but the last time I grew this strain was my first time and in dirt.... with a low budget light. The Buds are dense and compact so unfortunately there's no forearm size nugs after drying. Still curing but the "sample jar" is already A+ potency and doesn't taste horrible. 4 days of flush, 5 days dry hanging after wet cut, still working on cure +2weeks. The pictures don't do the trichomes justice, just covered.

the cut went well, I had left it in the dark for 2 days before, drying for 12 days at 60% humidity! delighted to taste it, it's the best of this run!

Week 8: She just keeps growing!!! I trained this into two main tops and it really decided that it would use all of that space. The smells coming off htis lady have me drooling. It is 2nd most sweet and fruity boquet I have ever smelled.(Cherry Sumo was #1) Really excited for this lady to come down.

2023-09-19 I had to cut them a little earlier, than planned, because of one Plnat in the Room, that hermied. Trichomes were milky/ some were amber. So for me fine. In the end of the Grow, the Plants had structureproblems, Buds went to heavy for the stems, and they needed a corsage. But MSNL mentioned that, i just underestaminated it. Budswise iam very fine, Buds look crumbely but are dense and frosty. UPDATE october, 18th I harvested the Outdoor Plants, that were finalising Indoors( last 4 Weeks. and they were perfect! super structure, solid branches ans stems Buds HUGE dense and crusted with Trichomes 10 of 10 Points

🌱 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.

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.

Me encantó la cepa y su facilidad de cultivo ! Aun que tuve muchos problemas ambientales y climáticos . Me atrasé unas 3 a 5 semanas con estas nenas , pero nos recuperamos bien ! Usamos malla scrog chilena #kanovicultivo , lo mejor que he usado en malla scrog , no se le comparan , su espacio preciso! . Las 4 comenzaron en pequeños vasos , luego de 1 a 2 semanas , trasplanté a macetero de 5.8lts , finalizaron 3 en maceteros textil 19lts y 1 en macetero de 20lts AirPot ! Comencé a brindarle 20hrs de luz / 4 hrs oscuridad , a la 3era semana 19hrs de luz y a la 5ta semana bajé hasta el 18 / 6 . Usé un panel QB de 480w regulables , chips marca Samsung de 3500k , chips epistar UV 660nm iR , el mix completo gracias a mi bro MKleds chile ! Se pasó ! De todas maneras recomiendo una potencia mínima de 600w ( QB LED ) para espacio de 120x .. Usé un bio estimulante chileno , que a mi parecer fue uno de los mejores que he visto y usado ! El grande #trichomemania , te cuento que este producto activa un mecanismo de defensa en la planta (SAR) , haciendo que reaccione y se trate de defender con mayor producción de resina , terpenos y tricomas ! Es increíble ! A los 24hrs tienes resultados , un saludo grande a los hermanos ! El mejor producto 10000000%.... Grande eva seed , buenisima esta cepa , me dí cuenta que si se deja madurar un poco más , su sabor es más frutal candy , exquisita cepa !.... Estamos probando con un papel de blunt organico 100% libre de tabaco marca *jamaican buzz*...al fumarla su efecto es notorio , enseguida viene el efecto psicoactivo y cerebral , se viene a la vista un tanto distorsionado el entorno ...la vision un poco más brillante , y a la vez relajado .. Hoy 18 de agosto estamos probando con un papel de celulosa organico marca lion rolling circus ( foto al final del album ) , quema bastante bien , al parecer ya está casi en su totalidad secado , combustión lenta , buen sabor afrutado citrico con toques candy diesel ...uuff efecto despues de 3 quemadas ya por los cielos , totalmente cerebral y estimulante , un gusto charlar con amigos ! Al manipular su fruto , la planta expele un olor afrutado con limon maduro y skunk , con finales de candy terra , una delicia , muy buena cepa , ahora mientras escribo me siento un tanto "mareado" con esa mitad de blunt ! Buenisinaaa!... ____ La verdad cuando comencé a cortar cada planta era como llenar "infinitamente" el armario donde dejaría secandola , se llenó casi la mitad y un poco más sólo con 1 planta cortada ! Increíble producción , yo estimo unos 90g por planta aprox , ya he consumido un buen peso además ...veremos en estos días que esté por completo su secado ! Esta riquísima , sus efectos fuertísimos ...100% ... ___ Una cosecha buenísima, muy parecido como obtengo resultados en comparación con el sodio , todo bien me gustó la experiencia !.... Además tuve la oportunidad de hacer extracción en seco de su materia vegetal . Obtuvimos entre un 18 a 20% de retorno ! Para mi primera vez , geniaaaal ! Su utilizó prensa de 12 toneladas , de apretó a 80°C por 4 minutos . . . Usen lemon king ! Una delicia .

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest. Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this! Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality! Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia. Peace!

week 5 of MD XXL flowering 😎 2 of the yellowing unhealthy plants are recovering after all, i wonder if they will get as nice as the one which did good from the start but well see. At least i can see some trichome forming on the 2 yellowed plants so with still a couple of weeks left i hope they recover. Not realy much more going on, im getting the hang of giving water, i just wait and lift my pots to feel if they need water or not, they usualy get a watering each 1.5-2 days 👍 Also temperatures around here are alot more bearable now so thats good.

No water for her for the last week and I have pruned the soil earlier today. I will be feeding her pure ph’d water in the next few days as her cup feels almost dry!
