Hey All, I skipped last week just because it was just a growth week. Nothing really exciting. However, as you can see from the pictures we have made some serious headway. These girls are now 16 days old and really looking good. Early last week they got a good watering with MykosWP to help with root growth and then they have been feed 2 times (That incudes today) with CalMag and Regeisys. If you want to know more about the Regenisys, I talk about it in the video. They are growing fast, I am sure by the end of next week we will start to go into flowering. They are all very consistent as far as structure except for one that is just a bit bushier. Heavy stalks, dark green leaves, they look just fantastic. They are right at about 6" but their growth is accelerating as they get bigger. I will begin really putting the food to them with my next watering, they are ready to feed. So far everything is going quite smoothly!

This week I'd like to dedicate my growth to beans sister, who would've had a birthday if she was still with us. I day I caught him laughing his ass off for no apparent reason like he lost his damn mind. It turned out he was thinking about this time she was super sun burned and she dropped her ice cream and cried. So we are gonna watch some kids drop their ice cream and cry while listening to her favorite band, Guns n Rose's. (Keep in mind she was 11 years older than beans and tormented him every chance she got. Also she was probably 19 at the time of her incident.)

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 5 from Seed (12/12) Special Report: Mixed Timelines – Pre-Flower & Flower Quick recap for new readers This run is a 12/12 from seed project, designed to observe structure, resilience, and expression without extended veg. This week is special because two different timelines are happening in the same room, offering a clear comparison of development paths. ⸻ Plant Timelines Overview 🌿 Plant A — “12/12 from Seed” • Timeline: 12/12 from seed • Stage: Entering pre-flower • Training: Light leaf bending & tucking only • Condition: • Extremely lush, deep healthy green • Calm posture, no stress signals • Very balanced structure when viewed from above This plant is transitioning gently and naturally, exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ 🌸 Plant B — Short Veg → Flower • Timeline: ~15 days under 16h light, then flipped • Stage: Early flower, clearly more advanced • Training: No training at all • Structure: • Classic Christmas / pine tree form • Strong apical dominance • Already showing clear calyx formation and bud building Despite no training, the structure is beautiful and symmetrical. From above, both plants resemble a compact bush — a great illustration of how genetics express across timelines. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions (Week 5) This was a tricky environmental week due to cold external conditions: • Outside: ~4°C with ~98% RH • Inside tent: • Temperature: ~21°C • RH: ~58% (stable and acceptable) • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Plant response: Calm, steady, resilient — no signs of stress The plants are handling the cold remarkably well so far. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy • Top lighting: • 100% power • PPFD: 700–850, depending on plant height • Under-canopy lighting: • Being introduced by the end of this week • Starting at 30% power, intentionally low The goal is not intensity yet — just to signal photon availability from below while maintaining strong top-down light. 🙏 Thanks to Lumiflora for the under-canopy lights being tested 🙏 Thanks to Future of Growth for the main fixtures ⸻ 💧 Watering, Nutrition & Philosophy Water source • Rainwater + dehumidifier water mix • This is why Cal-Mag Pro has been added preventively • Not due to deficiency • But to ensure stability during early flower with low-mineral water This is explained intentionally to avoid future issues, not to correct current ones. ⸻ Feeding structure Autopots (6 plants – mineral only) • EC: 2.29 • pH: ~6.0 • Reservoir = mineral only (organic mixes don’t behave well in tanks) Hand-fed plants (including some Autopot plants) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 • Organic + mineral mix • Autopot plants receive top feeding once per week This approach requires more work — but it allows: • Individual plant observation • Weight checks before watering • Natural dry-backs • A deeper connection with each plant’s drinking behavior Dry-outs are intentional and combined with enzyme applications, helping recycle dead root matter into available nutrients and encouraging active root exploration. ⸻ Genetics & General Impression I’m genuinely impressed by Animal Mints genetics: • Consistent structure across timelines • Strong health signals • Calm, resilient behavior under less-than-ideal external conditions Both plants are showing real promise, each in their own way. 🙏 Thanks to Zamnesia 🙏 Thanks to Plagron And thanks to everyone following along — supporters, skeptics, haters, lovers — everyone has a place here. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Clear flower progression on the vegged plant • Pre-flower stacking on the 12/12 plant • Plants responding to under-canopy photons • Increased differentiation between timelines Don’t expect: • Heavy defoliation • Aggressive feeding changes • Forced development This run is about listening, not pushing. ⸻ Final note This week is officially marked as Week 5 Flower in GrowDiaries, but in reality it’s a blend of pre-flower and flower stages — and that’s exactly why this report matters. 👽 New team member Meet Mr. Baggy Our new fluffy alien/beaver/whatever-he-is friend, won through a Grow Diaries contest. Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

When you get to a certain point in the flowering, the real magic begins, so far beautiful yes but when the flowers form I would stay there speechless admiring them for the whole time enchanted. ---- General conditions in the Growbox - We are talking about our autoflowering @zam.nesia which are all in great shape and are now showing their differences. The F1 Hybrids are flying, they are ahead of everyone else, if you want to realize how much the F1s work look at my photos in the growbox. Look, test and then talk, I never talk before trying. I get an idea based on what people say, especially when I hear the old school know-it-alls a bit hippy talk badly about a new thing I think: "this new thing is worth trying, it must be the bomb", and in fact... ---- Plant - Even if they are not as fast as an F1 our Black Orchids are big, beautiful and frighteningly hungry. Incredibly they are drinking like in summer, after all the temperatures are still high we expect a drop for the weekend and they should remain low just right for the end of flowering as we like, the foliage, and all the resin processes. Big beautiful, important defoliation at the bottom for both. I pray to the lord that at least one turns black. I am not catholic and nothing of this stuff but I pray for mother nature yes. Anyway a super harvest of about 50-70 grams per plant is expected, maybe a little less one of the two however excellent judging by the size and branching of the ladies. and I would say not bad. ---- Fertilization program - As for the fertilization program we have arrived at the moment of starting with the Green Sensation, Plagron would recommend the 4th week but these autoflowering accelerate and I start at the third. The Power Roots has reached the last week. ---- https://plagron.com/it - Power Roots - 1ml/l - Alga Bloom - 3 ml/l - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1ml/l - Power Buds - 1 ml/l - Green Sensation - 1 ml/l --- The dehumidifier now runs between 50% and 55% --- The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zam nesia.io/it/11457-pla gron-easy-pack-natural.html // Strain Description // It is said that the orchid symbolizes love, refinement and beauty. Well, we can confirm that the Black Orchid Automatic contains all these attributes and many more. This autoflowering variety has a lot to offer: a particular but very pleasant aromatic profile, and a relaxing and carefree high. Furthermore, this plant is very productive when grown in optimal conditions. - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/9493-zamnesia-seeds-black-orchid-automatic.html - Soil and Fertilizers entirely organic --- https://plagron.com/en buy on www.zamnesia.io - Growbox and air sistem --- https://www.secretjardin.com/ - Light — P2000 - https://www.viparspectra.com - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and music from www.radionula.com - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io

Continued growth, feeding every 3 days as soil dries out. Nice growth spurts noted and apical dominance broken via LST as limbs/new growth reach skyward. Minor fan leaf removal to permit light saturation and airflow to lower areas. Feeding 1/2 gallon per plant about every 3 days.

So now is the 16th day. This week the weather was rather bad!! Alfa boost has gone all out and couped a little too much N. but she is still young and will cope with it... in my opinion a bit behind but the weather should finally get better and become more consistent. the rain has now quite saturated the soil so that I had to cover the pot with foil to avoid overwatering. I ask for sun and a little dung... roots in the small pot had arrived at the bottom, are OK not lush but healthy and bemyzelt... hope she accelerates the next few days otherwise the bucket was a bit too big. will see.

4/20 smoke looks promising 4 weeks of flowering(switch off light) if ykyk what i mean....gonna finish out this diary with this set an the ones that got breed and start another one with the fresh set of cutting(already rooted) along with the rest to come ft their mom

Hey everyone :-). This will only be a short initial update 👍. Today the seed was placed between two fruit cloths and placed in a dark place. I suspect the seed will be ready to be planted in the next 3-5 days :-). The diary starts next week with the planting of the seed :-). I'm really looking forward to the start and until then I wish you all the best 👍. Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀🙏🏻 You can buy this Strain at : https://originalsensible.com/original-sensible-seeds-zkittlez~20503 Type: Zkittlez ☝️🏼 Genetics: Afghan Kush Indica x Grandaddy Purple x Grapefruit hybrid 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

15/12 - 21/12: just waiting for the bulk. I've decided to stop adjusting the pH of my tap water and let the soil do the rest, maybe it was counter productive. Now we wait ⏳

-Day 96 since sprouting - Week 9 of flower - Leaves are starting to change at the top - Seeing a few ambers - Watered 1 gallon of tap water today, no nutes - Any day now hopefully

Everything is going great :-) You can see every day how they continue to explode :-) Although we are still at the beginning of the vegi phase, the roots grow out on the first drain hose. I carefully pushed it back up into the system :-) As fast as it all goes, I think I'll switch to bloom next week. I wish you all a nice grow 😎

Ya estamos listos para el corte

Die Nachzüglerinnen kommen super in die blüte, trotz 16h Helligkeit ! Beide Sorten eigenen sich super für große und sehr große Gefäße! Wuchsverhalten und Struktur gefallen mir extrem gut. Widerstandsfähig gegenüber Schnecken und Thripse! Hatten bis jetzt überhaupt keine Mängel, bin geflasht vom Dünger und selbst angemixter erde. 🍀🐝

1 down 1 To go 497g wet ;)))))

After nutrition lockout for about more than a week,8 and a half hours without oxygen because the fan stopped working at night so I notice it in the morning,EVERY PLANT IS STILL ALIVE,I give her a good flush and she is looking much better and much fatter
