Day 3 of flower & these ladies are stretching great! We are having a bit of a calmag Deficiency right now but currently in the process of trying to fix it so hopefully they bounce back! The Gelato OG from seedsman is a monster to only be 42 days old not sure if I just got a good pheno or what happened but compared to the other gelato beside it from the same bag it looks like a completely different plant! Can’t wait to see how the buds turn out! Happy growing friends!✌️🏼🙏🏼 Day 4 of flower - recharge water at 6.5 Day 5 of flower - ladies are really starting to fill out & stretch, can’t wait to see how this run turns out✌️🏼🌱 Day 7 of flower - Not much to say everything is going great so far! Thanks for following & happy growing friends✌️🏼🌱 Day 8 of flower - They are all stretching & growing so much everyday! Couldn’t be happier so far!👍🏼🤙🏼 Day 9 of flower - end of week 7 things seem to be going great so far, fingers crossed we can keep it this way through harvest! Happy growing friends & thanks for watching!✌️🏼🌱

Der Harvest war erfolgreich, alle bis zum maximalen Ende stehen lassen. Alles gleichzeitig zu ernten war ein bisschen unentspannt, da der Indoorgrow gleichzeitig zum trocknen hängt! Dennoch mega glücklich!!! Jetzt beginnt das Aushärten, die meisten Behälter sind zwischen 67-73% bleiben aber noch 1-2Tage offen.☮️

Week 4 - This week, more plants are fertilized to 650 ppm.A survey found that one tree had abnormal leaves.

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.

Buenas noches fumetillas, de nuevo volvemos, y es que estas green ak xL se están poniendo increíbles, son bastante delicadas a los cambios de temperatura y a las variantes en los nutrientes , hay que ser muy estable y cuidar en los cambios climáticos, si se consigue salen unas flores enorme y llenas de tricomas. Ph controlado, temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros correctos, 1 de los 2 ejemplares que quedan recibirá un lavado de raíces pronto, la otra seguiremos abonándola una o 2 semanas más. La próxima semana nos vemos familia.

What can I say rainbow melon for the win absolutely loving life today starting to build her buds beautifully. No spacing is spectacular. Feel like I’m gonna get giant cola all around the plant.🔥💯

The super skunk feminised stands at 62cm tall with bushy growth. The growth this week has ceased with most of her energy being used for bud formation. Her leaves are dulling. Calyxes beginning to swell. Ph remains at 5.9 as she is fed when the her pot is light enough. Overall the super skunk looks good!

Pochi giorni e switcho in fioritura

Hi all. This week has been a busy one with a bit of defol and lst on the 2 big ladies . FFT#8 is still a tiny shade on her cousins in this grow. She is getting better and now showing some vertical growth. Her colour is getting better too. She will hopefully be flower able within a couple of weeks. FFT#9 has raced ahead this week and shows real promise for a big girl finish. Her quad and 5th node fim are putting out some excellent mains. They have a lot of growth on each tip to help form some nice stacked colas. I thinned her out fair bit and have tied her out a little wider too. She is around 2.5 ft wide now and has plenty of space for lateral growth. She will be flowered with the sp250 and the tsl2000 so will have lots of lumens to exploit. FFT#10 is also a great grower and is beginning to look very kush and indica style. She wants to go vertical and keeping her lower is hard with her thick stems. A little thinning out has given a nice airflow around base now. Like her cousin she is around 2.5 ft at this point and looks like she will be another big lady. I am looking forward to the next weeks growth . Be safe

Day 107 The Mars Hydro TS1000 has been at 100% light intensity for 2 days now and the plants seem to be loving the new light. Slowly seeing buds starting to fill in more and more. Day 108 The ladies are both looking wonderful! The bud sites are starting to fill in nicely, the Mars Hydro TS1000 has made a huge difference in progressing flower. Day 110 Updated with some photos of the buds coming along

Been fighting Ph so I went back to using mykochorizae in the reservoir and the Ph is back under control. Also added another 2000 watt light.

Very very sticky i had to change gloves every 2-3 buds!🤓 Delicious smell🤤

Looking little drippy so I water with ph on 6.5 and raise the light about 25cm later I start lst she looks a little def too don’t know if it’s cuz of water or mb a bug issue.

Week 3! Things are moving so fast! I've had a busy week so did not get around to order nutrients. For all my worries, she seems to do just fine without them. I do not want to get over confident though. Gotta get on it! I was tempted to top her or start doing LST since she is growing so well, but decided against it because I want to let her grow naturally. This is my first grow, so best see what happens to a plant in spacebucket conditions without interference. Learn from that and experiment later on. Plus I feel that patience and restraint are key to completing a successful first grow. -On topping autos: I've read that autos should never be topped. This might have been true in the past. From what I've read new strains are more stable and can be topped without problems if the plant is growing well. (3-4 nodes by end of week 2) This allows her to recover before going into flowering. Despite her being only 10cm tall her leafs span nearly 27cm! Auto Tutankhamon is basically AK-47 (stativa) with ruderalis so I was expecting a rather tall plant. On day 16 she started showing her first pistils! 😍

Day 15 Sunny Day 16 Sunny Day 17 Rain Day 18 Cloudy Day 19 Cloudy Day 20 Sunny Day 21 Sunny Week review: Nice mild temperatures with a day of rain. Seedling is looking healthy with no pest issues. 😍

Hallo liebe Grower, leider habe ich die Anbaustrecke der Automatics nicht dokumentiert, da es mein erstes Mal war und einiges schief lief. 🤔🤫 Kurz gesagt: 1 Pflanze wurde fertig, reif und erntbar!🌿💚 Daher möchte ich nun zumindest von dieser berichten. - Genetic: Zamnesia God Feather F1 🌿 - Lucilu Shuttle 6 240W LED 💡 - 7 Liter Kunststoff Topf ? - Plagron Royalmix (Hauptsubstrat) - BioBizz Allmix (Keimerde) - Plagron Alga Bloom - Plagron Sugar Royal - Plagron Green Sensation - Plagron Power Buds Gekeimt wurde im Biobizz Allmix, und nach 3 Tagen erblickte Sie das Licht der Welt. 🌱 2 Wochen später, wurde Sie in Plagron Royalmix umgetopft. 2 Wochen später ging man in die Vorblüte und den Stretch. Der Stretch war enorm... Sie streckte sich von 25cm auf fast 80cm nach oben. 3 x mal Lampe justieren war angesagt! Danach gab's Plagron Organic Linie nach Düngeschem + Power Buds zusätzlich. Sie hat so extrem geblüht .. teilweise über Nacht sichtbare Veränderung in Größe und Menge!💚 Top Pflanze .. hat sehr viele Fehler verziehen ..💚 Am Ende geerntet und direkt nass gestimmt. - 284 gr Nass auf der Waage 😳 - ... gr trocken auf der Waage (sobald trocken) Riecht herrlich zitronig frisch bis jetzt Ernte: 4 h lang geschnitten und dann alles gewogen und in den Trockenschrank gebracht. Es war sehr harzig .. aber eher trocken und nicht wirklich für Fingerhasch geeignet. Alles in allem eine sehr spannende Erfahrung mit dieser Sorte. Let IT grow 🌱 🌿 💚

All girls have been soaked and awaiting soil apart from the strawberry bannana which is a late comer ✌️ let's hope they are okay as I did originally have 2 of each which I had too reset and decided too do small pots instead ✌️🌱💚
