Not much happening when this one just started for fun hehehe.

The girls start rippen now the smell from sky walker og gelato and zkittlz are amazing, i have been cut Nitrogen off the end of week 8 going to week 9 using PK and then I’m going to finish it off with Finale from Vitalink and flush for 4 day with flora kleen

Hello guys, I went on vacation for 2 weeks so i asked a friend of mine to take care of my plants. Well....They are alive😅 but he didn't do any work on them LOL. He didn't even try to spot deficiencies... Neighter did some LST so they are kind of fuckt up for now, The PH rates where oke, like 6-6.2 but the EC rate was like 1 to 1,5 so he might have giving them more water turns then he gave nutes, I'm glad that he didnt overfeed, this little underfeeding didn't harm them alot and at this early flower stage it doesn't mind that much. I didn't want them to stretch that long like this, the stems went thicker so bending will be harder but I will try to. Pictures named Update 1 is how it kind of looked when I came back ( I did some defoliation before making the photos, so it looked way worse before that). If you compare week 12 with week 15, you can see a nice equal cantopy in week 12 and you see it turned to shit in week 15 lol. The Shamans went into flowering stage for like 1,5 week if i gues it right and the Critical Kushes are about to. I will post new pictures when i get all the work done and when they recover a little bit from that, i gues it will be putted online in the weekends. So this is all for now. Update: The way it got handled it demotivated me for this week so i barly did something about it nor did i make new pictures, Sorry guys, I will make them better next week for sure :) Enjoy.

Thought I'd show you guys some root growth. The 3 plants in the video are all gorrila zkittlz.... Non of which look the same or are growing the same way lol. No complaints its just interesting too see such difference characteristics from the same strain. GS#3 The tallest isn't as busy but has huge root growth and strong branches (thinest leaves darkest green) GS#1 The smallest the probability the most symmetrical but shortest in root growth (widest leaves and lightest green leaves) GS#2 The Mid size plant is basically a mix of both all round

Week 9 Day 58 I have started the week, by lowering the Glueberry OG, it was to close to the light. I had some room because i use normally a container under the plants to collect runoff, it is so, i can remove the water easy, so i took it away and placed the plant on the floor. Now i have to collect the runoff everyday by hand. But it is worth the effort because i have so much better light on the canopy yet. Zkittelz is nicely stacking up, big cola i like that. Started again with PK 13/14 Booster Day 62 Actualy it is 2 big cola it seems, behind the big main cola rises an other big one. first i was not so happy with 1 side branch reaching so high, above the main top. But it was stacking up so nice and now it's become sort of a second main cola. Temperatures dropped a little bit, i'm so happy now i have a nice 25 - 27 degree Celsius / 77.0 - 80.6 fahrenheit I am dropping down the feed a little bit at the moment, because run off was a little high EC. i'm only giving PH water with cal/mag at the moment, the cal/mag i am using is not in this list so i cannot add it. for now i'm happy at the end of week 9.

Week has been good. I'm not sure about the ppm and salt around roots, they are a little brown. Wounder if I should flush them and start again with nutrient? And see some of the last picture, it's pretty thigth between the leaf and buds, should I but some of the leaf? Ppm 1400-1600 Temp 22 to 31 Temp in water 20-26 Humidity 50-60%

Yayyy first harvest ever. So happy to finally be at this point in the grow 🌅 (Was the obvious faster one of the two and felt like to time to cut her. I don't know if. Messed up flushing, she didn't fade as much but also had minor Cal mag Def at end of flower. Did manage to flush before harvest but maybe not enough water to wash out. REALLY happy with the result, my first harvest down the hatch : )

Week 8 Flower | GMO × Triangle Mints BX Week 15 overall, and we are in the final stretch. One week out from harvest and the room is telling that story loud and clear. The fade is deep and progressing perfectly — the plants are drawing down everything they have left, channelling it all into the buds in one last push. The purple expression that showed itself last week has deepened across multiple plants, the calyxes are swelling, and the trichome coverage is dense across every site from top to bottom. Watering climbed again to 8L per plant per 24h — the root zone is pulling everything it can get in these final days. pH holding at 6.2, EC stepped further down to 1.2 mS/cm as the fade protocol does its work and the plant takes over. Height unchanged at 110cm, lamp still at 20cm — nothing moves from here. Humidity holding at 50%, day temp 25°C, nights 23°C. Feed stack stripped back to the essentials for the final week: Athena Fade carrying the programme, Canna CalMag Agent 1.1 ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1 ml/l. Nothing else. Clean finish, no interference — let the plant do the rest. The candy gas is relentless at this point. Harvest is next week. The GMO × Triangle Mints BX delivered exactly what was asked of it. Next update Sunday. Stay tuned

El ciclo fué perfectamente desde el principio. Bien es cierto que puse dos plantas y una fué la que tiró realmente bien. Se realizó una poda apical que respondió perfectamente creando dos grandes puntas y con un pequeño LST conseguimos ajustar el resto de ramas a la misma altura para que crecieran uniformemente y la luz les diera de igual manera a todas las puntas. En general me ha gustado mucho cultivar la AK48 DE WEEDSEEDSEXPRESS en primer lugar por la novedad, en segundo por la facilidad de cultivo y por ultimo por los resultados tan maravillosos de esta genetica 👌👏 Repetiré sin duda 😊💪 BUENOS HUMOS 🔥

This week I did LST (low stress testing) on ​​the plants, pulling the branches downwards using bud clips. Some petals on the leaves of one of the plants curled slightly upwards. I'm on alert; I believe it's due to the light being too close. I raised their lamp to about 400 ppfd (light pressure per square inch).

Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North ☃️ Part 1 — The Harvest Begins Before we begin this harvest report properly, we once again want to apologize for dividing this journey into multiple parts. Just like we did with the Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy series, the harvest, drying, trimming, curing, smoke review, and final strain analysis will happen across different weeks and different reports. But honestly… this is the only way we can truly document everything properly. We do not want to simply show the final dry buds and disappear. We want to show the process. The details. The decisions. The mistakes, the observations, the science, the emotions, the beauty, and the philosophy behind the work. Educational growing deserves time and space, and these girls absolutely earned it. So today marks the beginning of the final chapter for our Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North. And what a chapter this is. ⸻ From seed to harvest, these girls proved once again why 12/12 from seed continues to fascinate us so much. The morphology is incredibly efficient. Plants stay relatively compact compared to traditional long-vegetative runs, but what they lose in height, they repay with density, structure, resin production, and flower efficiency. The result? Compact giants. Dense towers of medicine. Heavy branches unable to support themselves anymore. Massive flowers held up by yo-yos because gravity simply started winning the battle. And honestly… this room became absolutely beautiful near the end. The senescence was fully setting in. The fade was impossible to ignore. During daytime photos and nighttime photos alike, the room transformed into a palette of autumn colors: * bright yellows, * faded lime greens, * soft oranges, * reddish and brownish tones, * curled leaves, * dry fans, * exhausted but fulfilled plants reaching the end of their biological cycle. And this is important to explain. A lot of growers panic when they see plants fading late in flower, but in many cases, especially near harvest, this is completely natural senescence. The plant understands its lifecycle is ending. Nutrients stored inside the leaves are being mobilized and redirected. Chlorophyll breaks down. Colors emerge. The plant slowly consumes itself while finishing resin and flower production. To us, this is one of the most beautiful moments in cultivation. Not death. Completion. ⸻ As always, we also harvest in darkness. Once the lights go off for the final night… they do not turn back on again. The plants remain in their night cycle until harvest. We personally prefer this approach because the plant is already in its resting metabolic state. The environment is cooler, calmer, and less stressful, and we avoid “waking the plant back up” only to cut it down shortly after. Before harvest, we also stop watering completely. We allow the substrate and the plant itself to dry naturally during the final stage. This helps reduce excess moisture inside the flowers and assists with the beginning of the drying process after harvest. ⸻ And speaking of flowers… These buds are enormous. Absolutely stacked. Rock solid. Frost-covered. Dense from top to bottom. The yo-yos became mandatory near the end because several branches simply could not support their own weight anymore. Every cola looked like it was carrying the entire weight of winter on its shoulders. Animal Mints truly lived up to its name. Frozen flowers. Heavy resin. Cold-looking trichome coverage everywhere. And despite the density, airflow management remained extremely important during the entire run. Defoliation timing, environmental control, humidity balance, and branch spacing all played a major role in making sure these flowers could mature safely without issues. ⸻ Of course, while removing dead leaves and cleaning the plants before hanging them whole for drying… something magical happened once again. Charas. That beautiful living resin slowly started building up on the fingers. And for those unfamiliar: Charas is one of the oldest forms of hashish production in the world. Traditionally associated with India and regions like Malana, charas is made by gently rubbing living cannabis flowers with the hands until the resin accumulates on the skin, later rolled into small resin balls by hand pressure alone. Unlike dry sift or modern extraction methods, charas is made from living plants. The resin is still alive, fresh, fragrant, warm, and incredibly aromatic. In places like Malana, ancient traditions surrounding charas still survive to this day. Entire generations preserved these techniques for centuries, often connected spiritually to Lord Shiva himself, who in Hindu mythology is deeply associated with cannabis. So every time we feel that resin slowly coating the gloves and fingers while handling living plants, it feels less like waste… and more like participating in something ancient. Something human. Something sacred. ⸻ The girls are now hanging whole. Full plants. Slow drying, exactly the way we prefer. For the first couple of days, humidity stays around 45% to help pull initial excess moisture away safely. After that, the environment stabilizes around: * 60% RH * 18–20°C And now begins one of the most important parts of the journey: patience. Over the next 7–10 days, chlorophyll will continue breaking down slowly, moisture will redistribute through the flowers, aromas will evolve, and the entire profile of the medicine will begin transforming. This is where harvest stops… and curing truly begins. ⸻ But this is far from the end. The next reports will focus deeply on: * drying observations, * trimming, * resin collection, * finger hash, * curing methods, * storage, * aromas, * textures, * smoke reports, * and the final strain review itself. And honestly… we still do not know how many parts this journey will require. Maybe two more. Maybe three. Maybe even four. But these girls deserve every detail. ⸻ As always, thank you to everyone following this journey and helping make these projects possible. Thank you to: * Zamnesia for the genetics, * Plagron for the nutrients and support, * F.O.G. for the lighting, * and everybody supporting this educational approach to cultivation. And of course… thank you to every grower, every reader, every silent observer, and every curious mind still exploring this incredible plant with respect, patience, and love. The Frozen North still has more stories to tell. 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 💚

Abbiamo tagliato a metà 3 piante,farò il raccolto scaglionato,le lascerò ancora per un pò cercando di evitare le cime popcorn,l'odore é fortissimo e la quantità incredibile,fino ad ora la miglior pianta mai fatta,e da tagliare rimane ancora molto....BUON ANNO!!

Can't stress enough how blown away I am by these Lion Claw genetics. They've been vigorous as hell, and have been taking some VERY hot super soil in stride. Up to 29" tall. Exicted to see how much taller these get over the next few weeks, given they are only in 5-gallon pots.

Runtz is almost done ✔️ I will cut her between Sunday and Monday Balance going good let’s see the final result… Colas are pretty nice !

Join us next week to see what the future brings us!

Our Calmag arrived on day 28. All the ladies were immediately cast. On day 30, the plants looked better, but were still lacking. We therefore applied a foliar fertilizer which hopefully helped as an immediate solution.

The stretch finally... finally... stopped, just as I was starting to get worried about her outgrowing her bedroom. Four colas decided to shoot up above the rest of the canopy. I'm not mad about it. She's producing buds with vigor now--fat pistils and, interestingly, purple calyxes (happened with the last one I ran too... passive temp control for the win 🙃). A lot of trichomes popped up overnight too. She may finish sooner than I was expecting, which would be rad. She's grown into a real sphere of doom.
