This week went well too... I was expecting even more volume so far, but I'm still satisfied... I think the overdrive next week will fix it... smell-wise, I have to say it smells very fruity and sweet... I hope it continues like this.

new grow started by @polasekplants 😁 This time there are blue dream, girl scout cookies, forbidden fruit, and white kush seeds started in a peat moss soil with about 60% already pop. Mars hydro tsw2000 is set at 25% power and at 36in above the seedings.

Woche 3 | Tag 16 Diese Woche machen die Gorilla Cookies richtig Spaß. Alle Pflanzen sehen gesund, zufrieden und stabil aus – genau so, wie man sie in diesem Stadium sehen will. 🌿 Eindruck auf den ersten Blick Sattes Grün, schöne Blattspannung, nichts hängt, nichts wirkt überfordert. Die Pflanzen stehen da wie: „Passt alles, lass uns einfach wachsen.“ Kein Stress sichtbar, keine komischen Flecken, keine Drama-Blätter. 📐 Wachstum & Aufbau Der Wuchs ist kompakt, nicht gestreckt, nicht gedrungen. Die Internodien sind angenehm kurz und die Seitentriebe melden sich langsam zu Wort. Der Haupttrieb führt zwar noch, aber nicht dominant – perfekt, um jetzt einzugreifen. Ganz ehrlich: Besser kann das Timing für LST kaum sein. Die Stiele sind noch weich, die Pflanze stark genug und mental 😄 absolut bereit. 🍃 Blätter Große, gesunde Fächerblätter – richtige Solarpanels. Die Blätter machen gerade exakt das, was sie sollen: Energie sammeln. 🌡️ Stress-Check Kein Über- oder Unterdüngungs-Gefühl Kein Hitze- oder Lichtstress Keine Verletzungen Die Pflanzen wirken ruhig und selbstbewusst. Genau das willst du bei einer Autoflower. 🧠 Autoflower-Gefühl Für Tag 16 sind sie voll im Soll, vielleicht sogar leicht drüber. Nicht wegen Größe, sondern wegen Struktur – und die entscheidet später über den Ertrag. Man merkt: 👉 Gute Bedingungen 👉 Sauberer Gießrhythmus 👉 Kein unnötiges Rumgefummel

🌱 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.

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.

I still believe that Banana Kush #2 and Zkittlez are stunted, I wanted to remove those two but i think i will just let them grow out for the experience. I'm really banking on Banana Kush #1 to bring home the bacon.

Had to rearrange everything and start using the 5 x 5 tent for all the flowering. Put the 11 Timber Grow Vero cobbs in the tent. Had to customize the frame to fit it in. Customize is code work for cut up. Did not change the cobb spacing at all, just made the overall frame slightly smaller. They fit good. The tent is bright. Had to install a 6" fan to the tent to get all the air moving and keep temperature reasonable. It's slightly higher, I will work on ways to lovering it. The OGKZ is bulking up and leaves are continue to turn darker all over the plant. A very pretty sight. The smell is stronger and buds are very frosty. Looks like the are getting heavy, might have to watch if they need. The hairs just started to turn orange, this plant may finish us sooner than thought. Cheers.

Hey here we go again.. in the pics I explained how to clean the lava rocks but to make it easier I will put them here. LAVA ROCK CLEANING. 1... fill sink with hot water and about a half bottle of hydrogen peroxide . 2 ...dump rocks into sink 3....shake out rocks from roots...I suggest you do this in another sink then add lava rock to other sink..it keeps from adding to many roots to water sink. 4....skim off all roots from top of water...now while the lava rocks sit in the water..clean the buckets. 5...take fitting from buckets and add to a cup filled with hydrogen peroxide let sit 6...clean buckets with hot water and hydrogen peroxide....dry bucket 7...take fittings out of cup clean off and clean inside fittings..then wash off and put back into buckets. 8... use a colander and add lava rock to it and run hot water over the lava rock as you move them around...then add warm..then cold water this will help make the roots brittle and easy to remove...shake off all water. 9...put rocks back into buckets 10 ...set room back up with all new lines... Enjoy your grow, good luck, have fun Smoke a fatty..see you next week Help out a fellow grower.

Week 9 flower is coming to an end and the Sour Diesel still has about a week to go. I could chop it down now with no complaints I think, the heads are mostly cloudy, no amber, but I’d like these foxtail like growths to fill out, if possible, now that they popped out. Think I had the light intensity to high and far along into flower and that’s why the GG#4 had a few nanners pop late, just displayed the stress in different ways, but what the hell do I know lol 😂. Flowers seem hard and dense but look a little weird with foxtails and the tips are stretched strangely and can see a bit of the centre stalk on a few lower and further from the light. The foxtail growth is also happening lower down as well which makes me think genetics, I dunno? Stripped most the large leaves that I could easily get at and just watering still letting the soil stay a bit on the dryer side, but consistent. Steadily lowering the humidity the best I can and manage, but it’s a bit difficult as I took down the humidifier to clean and get ready for harvest and got the dehumidifier going, but got another cold snap coming through and it’s dry outside and the house heat is running, don’t have a clean filter for the humidifier now, trying to get it right, right to the end, but Mother Nature is making my unnatural grow difficult lol. Thanks for the view and long read if you made it to the end! Keep calm and grow on!

última semana de abono, uno de Bud y agua para ir lavando. Tal como están de prietos los cogollos entiendo que la Botritys estará por ahí esperando el momento para atacar y no quiero darle ese placer. Como puede observarse salió una bién moradita. Me gusta la diversidad de colores, sabores, matices etc pero no me deja claro cual seria el fenotípo que más se asemeja a la MambaNegra xd. Ni tampoco su producción. Tendré que hacer una media de una serie de fenotipos diferentes.

Finally back to the garden after 4 weeks away. They were really in need of love by the time I got back to take care of the garden. BIG NEWS! Now running a California Lightworks Solarxtreme 500 as my main light. Will add a second SX500 light into the room once I start flower. Hit the LST on the again and just making sure they are getting fed and lots of love. Will have to push back my starting flower by another few weeks. See how the recover
