This week the Bruce Banner girls really started to show weight. The buds are getting heavy enough that I had to give some support, especially to #1 and #3. Branches were starting to lean outward, so I created a support ring with string to keep everything stable 💪🌿 Bruce Banner #1 She’s still the biggest plant but also the one recovering from a past deficiency. The reddish leaves are still visible, but she’s pushing forward with bud production. Her smell this week: chemical + lemon 🍋⚗️ Trichomes are clear to milky. Bruce Banner #2 This one surprised me the most… She already shows multiple amber trichomes on the main cola 😳🔥 Most trichomes are milky and she looks like she’s maturing way faster than expected. Her smell is a mix of earthy, chemical and lemon. Bruce Banner #3 She’s catching up quickly and has buds almost as developed as #2. Trichome maturity is nearly the same: mostly milky with the first ambers starting. Her aroma is more fruity, lemony and sweet 🍓🍋🍭 All three plants look very healthy overall. Just heavy buds and strong terp development this week. Environment & Light Temp: 24°C RH: 50% Light: increased from 70% → 80% Watering RO + CalMag only Honestly, these girls smell insane right now. With the amount of amber already showing on #2 and #3, I’m expecting both to be ready within about two more weeks, but I’m watching them daily to be sure 👀🔥

Highlighted a few breaks that I wasnt able to repai and a few that I was. I was a bit rough learning LST

2nd week since starting in the ground.

I think there’s been some sort of salt build up / nutrient lock. The lower leaves have been turning a lighter green and some even yellow on SL plants. Most stems are red. Seems like it’s a pH problem. I flushed them with 4-5 litres of water to reduce the nutrient concentration in the roots. Going to introduce molasses in next feeding!

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 💚

Day 15. Girls are flying !!! Think on day 18 i will do heavy defoliation, maybe Middle girl will have to be treated differently, she is a bit behind by flower development. Still see one or two bugs, but today i should get ladybugs from friends shed, they always nest there, but you never know .... Worst case - this wednesday i will get 200 LadyBug larvas, they should do a deal !!! Plus, new adventure on horizon .... FastBuds send me theirs surprise package !!! I know i said never again autos indoors, but this house is just too good not to give a try ! Huge thanks !!! I really will try my best to show beauty of theirs strains !!! So Future is planed, now just finish those wonderfull Kushes !!! As you see, my anti-fim'ing worked well on Tallest Kush, other girls managed to save main cola as main, Tallest have it as well, but it shrinked to smallest size and stayed lower than main canopy. Main stretch is going to the end and after training i will lift Smallest Kush to Middle's level. Day 15. Update, got like 50 ladybugs. 10 went to this tent, others will go to big one. Still waiting for larvae postage. Day 16. Heavy training done now : defoliation, lolitoping, watering straight after.... Tallest Kush - 14 tops, amazing, cleared her really high, but it will be 3-4 ounces plant easy, i see structure already, after my version of fim'ing she made 3 tops, where center one shrink to side branch size. Very good structure - thats my target for future grows. Middle Kush - a bit delayed in flower, but very bushy. After failed attempt of anti-fim'ing all side branches had triple shoots, needed to repeat action most probably ... Anyway - she will be dofoliated in 4-5 days i think. Smallest Kush - Midget warrior ;))) She will have hardest nugs from all 3, let's see what size colas she will make, branches shortest, but fatest of all 3. Day 17. Girls are on absolute max power, looks happy as f@ck and that makes my heart sing !!! ;))) Day 20. Gave Silica acid with watering. Looks like this tent is free from thrips, girls always prays and drink quick, so its all good in the neighbourhood ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Beginning of week.. Wow.. Just... Wow lol.. That's all I can say. Amazing scent.. Gorgeous colors.. Very happy and healthy girl. Besides very minor spotting on some lower leaves.. Which I am assuming was from Calcium def.. She is looking great! I'm not sure what this is all about, but damnnear all my plants have this clawing on leaves that are not exposed to the light.. Looks like wind burn.. Looks like nitrogen toxicity.. But I know for a fact that its neither.. Fans are not even really blowing on the plant itself.. And other leaves would also be clawing if it were nitrogen toxicity.. I'm assuming it's just from not enough light exposure.. But not an issue.. She is happy and loving life! At this point I am stopping silica.. Just too many conflicting articles about it not doing any good in flower.. And even causing the smoke to be harsh and the bud hard to break up.. Which does make alot of sense.. I only like to use silica in veg anyways.. And for the stretch.. It just makes more sense to me.. Mid week.. Adjustments need to be made.. The very top of each cola is getting a little bit of clawing.. I'm thinking it may be time to cut back on some Micro.. Maybe even the Floralicious Plus, since they both have so much Nitrogen in them.. She's getting plenty of CalMag, and the other trace elements in the Micro shouldn't be that much of an issue.. Still gonna use the Micro.. Just cut it down from 1mL/L to .5mL/L. Maybe the clawing is just how these plants tend to grow?? I'm not sure.. I see alot of the clawing on her small side branches.. Always have on other grows too.. But maybe I've always been giving them too much Nitrogen in bloom.. Just seems more like a 'not getting light' kinda thing.. But now that it's on the top of the colas.. I'm thinking its a Nitrogen thing.. Anyways.. Such a gorgeous plant! Gorgeous colors.. Amazing smell.. Just... WOW! Lol Next day.. Ok I'm thinking the clawing is getting a little worse.. That's after I fed her using .75mL/L of Micro and about 10 drops of Floralicious Plus.. Both containing a bit of nitrogen.. I'm going to have to completely cut out the Floralicious Plus and just .5mL/L of the Micro.. I hope that doesn't cause any different issues.. It shouldn't.. And I'm going to bump up the Kushie Kush bloom booster a little.. Still not full strength but getting closer.. I hope this doesn't affect my final yeild and/or taste! I will literally cry if the taste is fucked up at all... 😢 lol.. Nah.. As strong as it is now.. I think that would be impossible! I got my new tent in yesterday.. Haven't set it up yet tho.. Gotta get everything ready to switch over soon.. It's still a 2×2.. But instead of 48" tall it's 55" tall.. Which would be a little better for taller plants (not by much.. But still better lol).. Anyways.. No more Floralicious Plus and only about half of the Micro doses (lol) that I intended to use in the first place.. She really doesn't like Nitrogen in flower.. Which is understandable.. But I've never had a plant this sensitive to it before.. Good learning experience for sure! End of week.. So I bought a Brita filter because my tap water is pretty shitty.. 240 PPM - 260 PPM.. I've only ran about a gallon through it and its barely bring it down to 190 PPM - 200 PPM.. I mean.. I also didnt use the actual Brita filter yet.. Just the Wal-Mart brand.. It sucks obviously.. When I run the actual Brita filter in my drinking pitcher.. It can bring the tap water down to about 160 PPM!!! Compared to the Wal-Mart filter.. That is fucking incredible! I'm thinking when I run a couple more gallons thru, it will hopefully bring it down a bit more.. I don't need it to be 0 PPM.. just not 260 PPM.. That's fucking insane! Our water sucks out here.. The plants dont seem to mind very much, but after using the filtered water, instead of the nutrient water being 1150 PPM its barely 980 PPM - 1000 PPM.. NOTot a huge change.. But I think it will help. For harvest, I'll use the FloraKleen once along with distilled water.. Still got a few weeks before thinking about that.. But I always flush with my tap water and can't ever get the PPM below 400 PPM or so... Now about the plant lol... Yeah, it's gotta be nitrogen toxicity with the clawing leaves.. Again, I've went down on the Micro since it has so much nitrogen.. And also cut out the Floralicious Plus.. Sometimes I'll add a couple drops.. But it really makes me nervous lol.. I DO NOT want to hurt the yeild or taste of this girlie! But she is doing good.. Just as a test, I added a little bit of some feminized pollen to a very small nug on the bottom.. Its photoperiod pollen.. But this should create a "fast version" according to Sweet Seeds.. But she is doing good.. Smelling amazing.. Gorgeous colors!!.. Anyways... On to the next week!!!...

This grow was stressful and very informative. I learned alot about what the plants want/need. Love having grow diaries to keep track of everything in such detail. I will definitely grow more Humboldt Apple Blossom in the future so I can see what the strain can really do.

Another easy week. I'm heading into autumn so I'm having some temp and humidity fluctuations. Nothing too crazy. Hash plant and Zed black are cruising to the finish. Some hash plants will finish over the next couple days. The Zed blacks are looking like they need 1.5 weeks. Hash plant smelling like diesel, spicy hash, tennis balls Zed black smelling like rotten fruit and lemons. I got about 3 keepers I want to use for breeding. Along with the two rainbow belts it's a nice stock to work with. The males are revenged. I will be transplanting into larger pots and flipping to flower while I reveg the selected flowers after harvest

Die dümmsten Bauern haben die dicksten Kartoffeln. Die dicksten Buds hab ich nicht, aber dafür viele 😄 129gr Buds und 22gr Popcorn. Bin auf das curing gespannt, der Geruch ist jetzt schon verlockend. Die Wirkung brauch nen Moment, ist dann erst kopflastig und kommt so nach 30 Minuten entspannt body-lastig.
