So as you can tell, a branch broke off in training... She has been pretty hard to train as her stems had been getting very thick, very quick.. I have been adding silica, but I do that with all my plants but this girl just gets thick quick... Nothing but dots recharge and some silica.. hope everyone is doing well and happy growing! God bless

Burned tips on clones too... Lot of plain rain water for everyone! Anyway, buds look great : they're long and get fatter. I tried a wet sample in vaporizer yesterday : it tasted bad but it was potent enough to put a smile on my face... 😋 So I removed a few popcorn buds and put them to dry : it's covered with trichromes and it smells good. I'll vaporize this dry sample later, no doubt it'll taste better.

🐻 Animal Mints — Week 1 The Bear Awakens Grow Week: 1 (Seedling Stage) Additional Plant: One established plant (~15 days veg) Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Environment: Same conditions as the rest of the room ⸻ 🌱 Medium & Containers This run includes multiple plants at different stages, all grown under the same environmental conditions: • PRO-MIX soil in fabric bags • Plagron soil in plastic pots One of the Animal Mints plants is approximately 15 days ahead, growing in a plastic pot with Plagron soil. The remaining plants are newly introduced seedlings growing in both PRO-MIX bags and plastic pots. All plants are receiving the same feeding and foliar regimen. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Structure Animal Mints is showing a very distinctive growth pattern, clearly leaning toward the indica / indica-dominant hybrid side. • Broader, rounder leaves • Compact and sturdy structure • Strong lateral presence • Deep, healthy green coloration The more established plant is already on its fifth pair of leaves, showing excellent vigor, balance, and overall health. Growth is confident and stable, with no signs of stress. The younger plants are smaller by comparison, which is expected due to the difference in age, not due to environment, feeding, or genetics. ⸻ 🔍 Important Note (Plant Size Difference) This report includes one Animal Mints plant that is approximately 15 days older than the others. The size difference is intentional and expected, as this plant was germinated earlier and has been receiving the same care and nutrition throughout its vegetative life. All plants: • Share the same environment • Follow the same feeding program • Are growing without issues This setup allows for interesting comparisons later on as the younger plants catch up. ⸻ Vegetative Feeding & Foliar Program All Animal Mints plants — including the older one — are following the standard vegetative recipe used across the room: Root & Base Nutrition (Watering): • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar Application: • Vita Race Applied flexibly once to twice per week, depending on plant response and overall mood of the grow. This is the same recipe the older plant has been receiving during its entire ~15-day vegetative period, which clearly shows in its strong structure and healthy development. ⸻ 🐾 Observations • Strong indica-leaning morphology • Compact internodes and rounded leaves • Excellent response to the vegetative feeding program • No deficiencies or stress signs observed • Both older and younger plants look healthy and vigorous Animal Mints feels calm, heavy, and grounded — very much living up to its name. ⸻ 🚀 What to Expect Next • Younger plants will begin accelerating growth • Structural comparison between early and later starts • Continued strong vegetative development • Potential early training considerations once size equalizes The bear is awake — and it’s growing with intention 🐻🌿 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.

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.

Que hay familia, vamos con la décima y última semana de floración de estas Runtz de Zamnesia y empezamos con riegos intercalados cada 48 horas controlando siempre el Ph, que ahora mismo lo dejamos en 6.5 . Temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros correctos. Seleccioné de las 5 plantas, 3, tienen un buen color, se ven bien sanas, todo normal hasta ahora, han madurado y han producido una tricomada bastante seria, están increíbles, ya entramos en la recta final, aunque no me de tiempo acabarlo para el concurso, acabar acabaremos el diario. Hasta aquí todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Still looking a little green, I would prefer the leaves to be more faded. I'm gonna give it another week and see how she looks then.

Esta semana empezó relativamente bién por lo que hace el tiempo y terminó con lluvias. con 30 dias creo que se empezó a ver a observar algún pistilo por ahí por lo que ya comencé a regar con bloom Os recuerdo que el agua de osmosis me sale a 0,08 Ec y 8 de ph , añadí un poco de cal-mag hasta 0,4 Ec, y con bloom hasta el 1,4 Ec . Para bajar PH ácido cítrico hasta dejarlo por debajo de 7ph. 6,5 áprox.

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

5/26/21 Week 3 of flower. PH 5.96 tds 735. Going to have to figure out how to lower canopy. Plant has grown way more then expected. 5/27/21 PH 5.8 TDS 760. Plant seems to have stopped her stretch thank goodness 😅. Seems to have drank alot of water, reserves depleted by half. She missed her foliar feeding, recharge, and water change yesterday as I was away. She will get all that later this evening. After next Saturday I will discontinue the canopy boost. Look at the size of that stalk! Changed nutrient water PH 6.02 tds 750 recieved recharge and foliar feed. 5/29/21 PH 5.98 TDS 740 Gave last foliar feeding. Gave 2 quarts recharge. Tied branches down. 5/30/21 PH 5.86 TDS 740 Added water to reserves PH 5.96 TDS 780. Plant has drank half. Readjusted some of the ties. Added a third fan for circulation. Trimmed some suckers that I missed. 6/1/21 filled reserves PH 5.98 TDS 780

Well I’ve flipped the light schedule. We’re on 12/12. It’s only been 4 days and they’re definitely getting their stretch on! Let’s see what happens over the next week or so…

17.3.25: So I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I have really overdone the nutrients, I got carried away 😅 To try and rectify the situation, I've cut everything out except Cal-Mag amino acids. I will try to just stick to this with some Biosys, but I'm running out of that now, too. Anyway, with Or Without, I'm sure it'll balance out. Fingers crossed 🤞

Popped 20 seeds and all seemed to be fine. I encountered a problem with one of the pink kush seeds. It seems to be sprouting with a very small root and it released itself from its seed shell in the paper towel. It died I have tasted all the strains except the G 13 Haze. So i hope to get 1 or 2 good plants. Especially from the Pink kush and orange sherbert. 10x Pink Kush, 5x Orange Sherbert, 2x Cookies Kush, 2x G13 Haze and 1x Utopia Haze. Growing in biobizz Coco mix. Using a soil nutrient for the first week or two

I’ll update ya’ll on the smells and tastes after drying and curing! So far both are packed with ice and smell very potent, a little overpowering still, so I want to give it some time before they’re cures and can show their true terpene profile!
