Day 49 - lookin good..... been bending her, trimmin abit, messin with the water solution..... ph and ppm have been all over the place..... lol she's been transitioning from grow to flower, and once she settles into night mode, the solution and growing should stabilize...... the new fan is cool... tents working properly now, neg pressure, drawing in air behind the floor fan, blown around the bottom, and cpu extractor fan pushing the air out the top of the tent, straight into the filter..... really nice way to run a little tent, low airflow........ keeps the impurities out of the buds..... the stalks have all tuffened up since trimmin, and pretty strong now.... should hold the full weight that's about to occur all over the place...... i've simplified the nutrients, they were gettin alittle confusing, so started doin nuets differently, .... so, just making my own nuet solutions, nothing fancy just base amount of normal elements .... should be a pretty good christmas ...... Day 51 - pics/vids... 👍😎

Tent has been modified for cooler temps. Temp is now around 75* with lights on. Lights 100% on and slightly lowered now they can handle it with lil to no heat. Molasses added to every feed along with Biologics. Plants may need one last feeding as leaves are starting to barely droop. Might leave alone if the plants are okay and start to get ready for their flush in a couple weeks. Maybe a tablespoon of fertilizer won’t hurt and go extra hard when it’s time to flush. Overall happy grow! Gnats have infested the tent so tents been sprayed with neen oil when lights are off and tent is officially sealed and closed for good.

day 9: the roots start to come out of the netpot slowly (see picture) the water level is 1 inch under the netpot, the bubbles make the roots wet. nothinh much to do here just waiting for water change. the ph has gone up to 6.0 maybe because of the rockwool touching the water when the water level was higher. in the next days i expect the roots to go in the water day 11 (december 15) roots com trough net and i did water change with double strength (507ppm) calmag to around 200 and 100ppm of each three part bottle

Changed my light cycle to 20/4, need to add a heater for when the lights are off as I've noticed the temperature drops really quickly and moving my intake tubing into a warm room wasn't cutting it. I defoliated some leafs that were obstructing light which seems to help as they have certainly bushed out.. Starting to each get there own distinct smells and looks. I've started to add 2 tea spoons of epsom salt and green tea to my feed which the plants seem to like, time will only tell I suppose and this is a learning journey for me so why not try different organic methods 💚 Really excited to see how these turn out and smoke something I know exactly what's been put into it 😍

The Afghani x Mac1 auto from DNA recovered well from the training and is in full bloom. Bud sites are looking great. Had an issue with humidity this week and the leaves started looking rough. She got a dose of Recharge this week and drinks about 8-12oz of water throughout each day. All in all she's trucking right along. Very happy with how smooth this solo cup grow is going.

🌱 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.

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. 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.

Some of the leaves starting to yellow slightly but as it’s coming to the end I think I will let it ride out might give a little pk booster but that’s about it

Moin an alle diese Woche habe ich die Damen auf 12/12 gestellt alles läuft soweit nach Plan die einzige Dame die mir sorgen macht ist die Dame vorne rechts sie wächst sehr sehr dicht bewaldet hat wohl etwas mehr indica gene abbekommen was jetzt nicht wirklich ein problem ist allen Pflanzen geht es soweit gut. Ich bin mit der Umstellung auf 12/12 um 1 Tag verrutscht eigendlich ist immer Ende der Woche für mich am Donnerstag somit also Freitag Umstellung auf 12/12 habe ich auch gemacht schalter auf blüte gestellt und vergessen die Zeitschaltuhr um zu stellen das viel mir dann abends auf als die Lampe noch lief obwohl sie hätte aus sein sollen somit habe ich sie den Tag noch 18/6 gehabt und bin erst am samstag 12/12 gefahren somit verschiebt sich das ende der jeweiligen woche auf Freitags, (ich bin halt zu stoned unterwegs zur zeit, was heißt zur zeit! eigendlich immer 😂😂) am anfang dieser woche gab es 20ml/L orgatrex und 1g/L bactrex, davon aber nur 500ml der lösung an die Basis für die lösung verwende ich destilliertes wasser damit die Bakterien schonend dem Medium zugeführt werden, beim normalen giessen ohne Nährstoffe verwende ich abgestandenes Leitungswasser was einen Ph von ca 7,8 aufweist was ich mit Ph down von GBN(Green Buzz Nutrients) runter regel auf einen Wert von 6,5 was super funktioniert bis jetzt! das Boden leben scheint äußerst gesund zu sein, die Pflanzen wachsen gut und robust, weisen ein sattes Grün auf und haben bis jetzt keinerlei Schädlings Spuren, Mängel oder Überschüsse an Nahrung. Bei meiner Lampe bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher habe sie jetzt zur blüte auf 75% der Leistung laufen da ich Schiss habe das wenn ich auf 100% fahre meine Damen sicher licht brand bekommen werden also muss ich abschätzen 75% und mit der Lampe nach und nach ran gehen oder 100% und bei ca 60 bis 70 cm bleiben ich Weiss nicht genau was ich machen soll oder eher gesagt was besser kommt....... Naja das wars für die woche.!

Been away for 2 weeks working away. The first test for the autopots. Well what can I say. This grow is insane . I have 8 plants all are over 160cm. The 3 sweet seeds plants are over 240cm... It's insane. Supercropped the biggest but just chunking up. I'm out of height for lights now so I'm kinda stuffed in a good way. This is not the worse issue to have. I can't get individual pics of plants as there is no room in this jungle. The cheat code is Biotabs and Autopots. Just leave them alone and prepare to be amazed These have only ever had untreated tap water. And I'm talking Lolndon tap water so not the best. But the biotabs just seem to make it all good No sign of salt build up and no sign of any deficiency. I will give I feed of biopk in the coming week as a top feed but that will be that until harvest. Unless something happens if course..🤪

Overall, been busy and haven't done much in the room. Just watching the growth, think we should be at the end of stretch, maybe one or two days to go. F7 has really been reaching up. Also recived my Jack's Nutrients today. Will finish out this grow with Mills Nutrients and will give Jack's a go on next run. Pretty excited to compare.

☘️12/04 - Empieza su décima semana en etapa de floración. ☘️Ya comencé con su lavado de raíz, le agregue 25L de agua y 6ml en total de Top Wash. ☘️Yo creo que un lavado más igual al que realice y ya esta lista, se notaba bastante limpia el agua. ☘️La humedad que estoy teniendo en el indor es máximo de 55% y 22 grados de temperatura. ☘️La planta en total ya tiene 109 días en total desde la germinacion hasta ahora. ☘️La planta estaba largando demasiado olor a weed y tuve que comprar un filtro de carbón ya que el olor era muy invasivo, hasta el momento funciona de forma perfecta. ☘️En estos dias subiré más imágenes de como viene.

Today is day 10 of flower, and this girl is stretchin as she should... this grow has been flawless from the second I dropped the seed in the medium.. Great vigor all she wants to do is grow .. i love Maxibloom...Zamnesia Seeds is 2 for 2 i think.. The watermelon candy turned out to be a banger, and this Sundae Driver 🍨 is looking like she's gonna be the same. She has a smell coming from her already, and there's not even a bract in site.. Thank you to everybody stopping by given a like in saying hi, I hope and pray everybody's doing well. And as always thank you to Zamnesia Seeds for sponsoring this grow.. definitely check them out.. God bless everybody and happy growing ✌️https://www.zamnesia.com/us/35-cannabis-seeds/368-zamnesia-seeds
