They’re getting juicy, just feed some compost tea made from Dr Earth Tomatoes Veg and herb fertilizer and some Molasses. Just seen a Nat so I don’t think I’ll be doing the tea again, I want to prevent bugs as much as I can. I’ll be putting up a sticky trap to catch it I only seen 1 but 1 is enough for me

The girls are growing up and doing well, despite the crazy heat we've been having lately. Cheese and Pineapple have turned into two little monsters! I'm really happy with the result!

LIGHT: Playing around with various heights on the new light. Worried, because Cheecha is not doing well at all. Can't tell if it is nutrient burn, light burn, root rot, or dehydration. WATER: Getting ready for a trip this week, so allowing the soil to dry a few days, then I'll give each plant a good watering with a mild fertilizer mix. TRAINING: The topping looks like it worked well, with noticeable new leaves appearing.

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 2 Veg Legends of the Frozen North ⸻ 🗓️ Growth Stage Vegetative phase — Week 2 This run is part of the Legends of the Frozen North journey, and this week marks an important moment where we clearly see the difference between two growth timelines running in parallel. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Overview This diary documents two distinct expressions of Animal Mints under different approaches: 🔹 Timeline A — Extended Veg Plant • Approximately 15 days of vegetative growth • Already reaching up to the 7th node • Strong, well-defined structure • Broad, healthy leaves with excellent symmetry This plant had time to “understand” the season — it was allowed to build structure calmly and confidently before being asked to perform. ⸻ 🔹 Timeline B — 12/12 From Seed (Diary Focus) • Under third pair of true leaves • About 7 cm tall • Compact, controlled growth • Leaves are rounder, leaning clearly toward the indica / hybrid side • Overall appearance is very similar to how the extended-veg plants looked at the same age, just slightly smaller Despite the size difference, development is perfectly on track. ⸻ 🌱 Why the Size Difference Makes Sense The smaller stature of the 12/12-from-seed plants is expected and fully intentional. These plants are currently: • Prioritizing root development • Building underground infrastructure • Not rushing vertical growth Meanwhile, the extended-veg plant already had time to establish itself above and below the surface. Same genetics. Same environment. Different instructions. This contrast is actually one of the most educational aspects of this run. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf Health & Structure Across both timelines: • Leaf color is healthy and vibrant • No deficiencies or stress signals • Texture is firm, slightly thick • Growth is symmetrical and balanced Animal Mints is showing excellent genetic stability so far. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Conditions remain consistent and stable, matching all other Week 2 reports: • Controlled temperature • Stable humidity • Calm airflow • No major fluctuations The goal remains the same: zero stress, maximum clarity. ⸻ Nutrition Feeding remains: • Light • Clean • Balanced No pushing, no forcing. At this stage, the focus is foundation, not speed. ⸻ 🧠 Grower Notes — Facing the Bear This week symbolizes more than just growth metrics. With Week 2, we officially step face to face with the bear. Animal Mints is not loud yet — but the presence is there. Quiet power. Contained energy. A run that promises to become truly animal with time. This is only the beginning of the Legends of the Frozen North journey — and things are about to get interesting. ⸻ 🔜 Looking Ahead In the coming updates, we’ll be closely watching: • Structural stacking • Side branching behavior • Response to gradual increases in intensity Stay tuned — this one promises to be special.

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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial NEW DISCORD - Official Server Invite Link : https://discord.gg/ksjAkA5T74 P.S.2— Light Intensity & Environment For clarity and reference, current light intensity is being kept in a moderate PPFD range, appropriate for early vegetative growth under 12/12 from seed. At this stage, the goal is not to push top growth, but to support: • Root development • Healthy leaf formation • Stress-free adaptation to the environment PPFD will be gradually increased as the plants establish themselves and signal readiness. Environment remains stable and consistent, allowing the plants to set their rhythm without unnecessary fluctuations. As always, light, environment, and nutrition are adjusted in response to the plant, not the calendar.

🌸 Week 8 Flower – The Trichome Symphony Begins 🌸 Eternity Grow Cup This week… it’s all about the frost. ❄️ We are diving deep into the universe of trichomes, those magical crystal-like structures that define potency, aroma, and visual beauty. Each pheno this week is presented with its own dedicated video — so everyone can witness the uniqueness and evolution of these genetics firsthand. The photos? Focused close and true on the trichomes and their stalks, the very essence of the plant’s protective and expressive language. 💎 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are tiny resin glands that cover the surface of cannabis flowers and sugar leaves. They’re responsible for producing and storing cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids — the compounds that create the plant’s effects, scents, and flavors. They act as the plant’s natural defense — from UV rays, pests, and environmental stress — and in return, they gift us with beauty, medicine, and art. Why So Many Trichomes Here? This room has turned into a crystal forest thanks to a harmonious mix of tech, care, and nature: 🔹 Spectrum Tunings: Using the TrolMaster system, we’ve dialed in a spectrum rich in reds, far-reds, and UV at precise times to stimulate trichome production. The plants are responding in full. 🔹 Lighting: The under-canopy power of the ICL 300s, combined with the canopy-level intensity of the Model 1s, is creating full-spectrum saturation from top to bottom. Buds are stacked, frosty, and glowing from every angle. 🔹 Nutrition Synergy: The tag-team of Aptus Holland and Plagron has been flawless. The clean base, balanced micro and macro elements, and biostimulants have driven these girls into full expression mode. You can see the nutrition working in every crystal. 🌿 Where Are We Now? We’re likely one week to ten days from harvest, but of course we’ll follow the plants’ signals. They’re still swelling and building — it’s the final stretch, and they’re sprinting. Nerdy Note: Trichomes can be bulbous, capitate-sessile, or capitate-stalked — and in this run, the capitate-stalked ones are standing tall and loaded. Expect a full cannabinoid and terpene profile when it’s time for analysis.( bro talk not lab hihihihi) 🌟 Let’s take a moment to recognize that we’re witnessing the peak of this cycle. This is living art, frozen in time by a camera lens but alive in scent and energy. This Week’s Feeding Program To support this explosive trichome production in Week 8 Flower, we’re feeding with precision and purpose. Every drop counts now, and here’s the clean, efficient mix we’re running: • Aptus Holland – Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • Aptus Holland – System Clean: 0.25 ml/L • Aptus Holland – RO Water Condition: 0.8 ml/L • Aptus Holland – All-In-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L • Plagron – Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • pH set at 6.2 💧 We’re keeping it clean, clear, and consistent. No extra PK boosters or unnecessary additives. Just smart nutrition, tuned spectrum, and stable conditions to let the plants express themselves naturally. The synergy between Aptus Holland’s Clean Program and Plagron’s Green Sensation is clearly showing in every frosty bud. This week, we’ve fine-tuned the spectrum to push the plants into full resin-production mode. I’ve reduced the white light intensity to 40% while keeping the reds and UVs running at 100%. This shift focuses energy on the wavelengths that directly stimulate secondary metabolite production—especially trichomes. Red light enhances flower development and density, while UV exposure encourages plants to produce protective compounds, like cannabinoids and terpenes, as a natural defense. This balance between lower photosynthetic pressure and high-spectrum stimulation is helping the girls finish strong, frosty, and full of character. 🙏 Massive thanks to all sponsors, followers, friends, and growers in the community. To the ones competing, to the ones just watching — THANK YOU. This is almost the end of the road, and every diary, every plant, every effort deserves respect. 💬 Don’t forget to follow the full 4K experience on YouTube, and for behind-the-scenes action and updates, join us on Instagram.

The end is near, these plants are producing some heavy nugs! I had to start tieing the branches so they don't break under there own weight! I'm loving it, if you have to have a problem! This isn't such a bad one to have. Lol

11/29 Start week 4 still solidly in veg Tighten training daily . Still on same feed of 800ppm Water filter be in Monday-ish and so I can drop the tap water TDS so to raise the nuet level. 12/1 Continuing to get hang of coco, the runoff in particular will be worked on. Happy with it 12/2 Seeing the first signs of flower so beginning the intro of bloom nuets. dropped the CT A&B Grow to 9ml/gal adding 1 ml/gal Bloom A&B. Will increase the bloom over the next week to full. 12/5 Into the flowering tent still on half grow half bloom nuets 800ppm for a while. Changed feeding to once per day 1 qt(liter) with @ one cup runoff each (25%) New camera learning how to use it

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell witch plants are more sensitive than others.

So this beautiful OG kush has been finally Transplanted into her definitive 25L pot for this season, I've prepared the pot with the complete line of biotabs, I've added 25G of startrex for every 5L of soil, then I sprinkled a couple of grams of mycotrex on tje planting hole and after the Transplant was successfully completed I added 5 biotabs slow release fertilizer (one for every 5L of soil) and then just watered the plant immediately with 1g per liter of orgatrex and 1g per liter of bactrex, let's see how this beautiful OG kush pheno #1 develops!! Can't wait!
