Compared to her sister, this Pineapple Express auto flowered very early! I LST'd her while I could, and defoliated what was necessary. She turned out great! Although the yield for this phenotype is at my lower limit for acceptable. I'm happy that I'm growing a second one, that vegged out longer, making for a much larger Pineapple Express!

Week 5 purple showing , 2 slight differences in the structures on each plant . Had both these phenotypes before

Questa settimana è andato tutto a puttane... Mi dispiace un sacco per l altra pianta .. gli ho dato il famoso tea di compost! È davvero eccezionale secondo me! Ora darò solo acqua fino alla 7 o 8 settimana e poi penso di integrare con un il bio pk 5 8 .. alla prossima settimana! E che l entità della cannabis me la mandi buona!! Buon 420 a tutti ragazzi!

❄️ ANIMAL MINTS — Legends of the Frozen North Folder 9 — Germination Report (12/12 Schedule) 8×8 Last 2025 Run ⸻ 1. Prologue to the Frozen North Animal Mints enters the grow room like a creature forged in ice — a strain whose legend, power, and resilience echo the spirit of the Frozen North. Under the strict 12/12 light regime of this run, the three seedlings selected for this journey stand as the first cubs of a polar lineage, preparing to carve their story into this frozen saga. A fourth, more mature plant waits beyond the blizzard, hidden from the narrative for now — the Elder of the North — to be revealed later as the story unfolds. ⸻ 2. Seeds of the North — Selection & Identity • Total Seeds Germinated: Several • Selected for the Saga: Three seedlings • The Hidden Elder: One pre-veg plant (≈3 weeks), to appear in Week 1 Veg Every seed showed the strength expected from a creature adapted to cold survival — fast, uniform, and determined. ⸻ 3. Conditions of the Northern Realm To maintain continuity across the 8×8 project, Animal Mints begins its legend under the same strict environmental code: • Light Schedule: 12/12 from Day 0 • Medium: Identical to previous folders for comparative integrity • Humidity: Naturally high in early stages, forming “frost” (condensation) on leaves • Temperature: Stable warmth against the metaphorical cold These conditions create the perfect environment to introduce the Frozen North theme: a harsh cycle demanding strength, discipline, and adaptability. ⸻ 4. Emergence of the Young Bears — Germination Performance The three chosen seedlings pushed through the soil like small white bears rising from beneath snow: • Strong taproots with vigorous direction • Clean, symmetrical cotyledons • Confident posture • No deformities • Unified emergence time The Animal Mints clan begins with perfect early synchronization. ⸻ 5. The Frost Effect — Notes on Condensation & Macro Shots Macro photography captured “glacier droplets” on the tiny leaf surfaces, magnified to look like heavy ice beads. In reality: • The droplets are tiny • Macro magnification exaggerates size • It is natural humidity and leaf transpiration • No stress is present • No pathogens, burn, or imbalance Just the beauty of frost on young life, true to the Frozen North aesthetic. ⸻ 6. Behavior Under the Polar Cycle (12/12) Even from Day 0, the seedlings quickly adapted to the shortened daylight cycle — similar to life in the far north: • Upright, resilient posture • Zero uncontrolled stretch • Steady leaf development • A rhythm of growth shaped by long “nights” These observations contribute to the scientific and mythological study of how a strain can thrive under near-Arctic light conditions. ⸻ 7. The Elder of the North (To Be Introduced Later) For now, the older pre-veg plant remains behind the veil — a creature already forged through harsher early conditions. She will emerge later in: 📌 Week 1 VEG — “Arrival of the Elder” At that moment, her presence will expand the legend: • A seasoned warrior entering the Frozen North • Standing beside the three seedlings • Offering immediate comparison between 12/12-born plants and a more traditional veg-grown specimen This delayed introduction strengthens the narrative arc and enriches the diary’s mythos. ⸻ 8. The Journey Ahead The legend continues with: • Early structural development • Macro photography documentation • Weekly chapter-style reports • The Elder’s arrival • The shaping of the full Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North saga 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.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Everything seems to be going great for them to all be random bag seeds! Temp is staying a little higher than I would like trying to figure out some ways to cool it down may just order some new lights!

Day 65 Update: Watered both plants with almost a gallon until runoff. Plant #2's water was dosed with Terpinator at 25ml/gal. 11 days left of flushing on Plant #1. This will be Plant #2's last nutrient watering, as she will start the flushing process next watering. Also added two yoyo hangers and two stakes to Plant #2 as her branches are getting heavy (not complaining 🤷‍♂️) Day 68 Update: Starting flush on Plant #2 today. Plant #1 has 8 days left of flushing. Watered both plants with almost a gallon of pH balanced water until runoff.

Plant 2 harvest. No weights,will post next week with smoke report. Stunning plant,she went 7 days longer than plant 1 and the buds are rock hard compared and smells like ribeana 😋loveliness. Last few straggler plants to finish before just using Garden of Green and Expert seed genetics 😉. Happy growing 🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍁 🍁🍁🍁 Light-Voost VST 120 veg 🍁🍁🍁 Voost VST 240 flowering https://voost.com/ Code- TightNugs 🍁🍁🍁 Breeder-White label purple bud auto.

Ztrawberriez autoflower is growing great in her perlite tub. She just shot her first pistils. I did some lst and defoliation on her today. Getting her ready for the stretching to come. She looks very healthy, and is grow strong.

Not much to do this week. Plants are doing great ! Since a few weeks the leaves have small spots. They are not insects, not spider mites. But I don't know what it is. Started to add BioFinale PK 0.5ml/500ml water/24l pot

Día 1 y todas germinaron súper rápido 3 días Día 5 desde puesta en sustrato Ya todas están arriba Estoy solo pulverizando el sustrato Temperatura 23c humedad 75%

Day 93 - Fattened up good, getting really heavy....posted pic of test bud.... vid of the led uv globe i got on ebay... works awesome.... highly recommend...... 😎 maybe 1 more week.... they smell delicious, not very strong smell.... just normal water in bottom drip tray, dutch master one gold ....next week, flush em and next sunday pull em..... idk.... Day 95 - had a good look at both girls and worked out a harvest plan...... i've started flushing/watering on the smaller one, and sunday (day 100) will be her last. i'll leave the larger one (she's still quiet white) for another week and re evaluate her fate next week. Day 97 - 4 vids .... looks good 😎 getting a 1600x Camera Endoscope USB Digital Microscope from ebay, see if it will help with harvest........ 😎

The reward for patience is patience itself! It has been a crazy adventure, to see i've come this far is incredible. It wouldn't be possible without this amazing community, you all helped me along this path and i am grateful! Special thanks to @Seedler for all of the knowledge and experience that has been shared with me along these months.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ As planed I lowered the base nutrient to 2ml, and took a break from Cal Mag, to release the N a bit, green is on point now. Tomorrow will catch up with the Cal Mag schedule as usual. Time for some overdrive, for the rest all good, girls are developing well and buds are getting bigger, no issues. Smelling delicious! Hope I had some Terpinator to give a go... ------GG. AK47 COMMENT------ AK47 is developing slower, but with more branches.

I love Mephisto and have anything to say.. 🐽♥️🐽🤝

Let the flushing begin! Week 8 went well, this girl packed on the last of her weight and density. She's showing more red hairs and she's got a 60/40 mix of clear/cloudy trichomes.
