These ladies are starting to take off. Seeing them stretching for the light is exactly what I was shooting for with the new Sanlights. I started hand watering giving them just calmag and Ph'd water. These next few weeks are going to be interesting to see how the veg cycle goes.

9-27 I have lost track of days...we are in our 13th week...weird weather we are having...week of fall week of summer...I did a defoil last week...she is done with her training...heavy bloom nutes...this girl has bud sites every were...ive taken so many off her lower legs...ive done what I can for her its time to let her go I believe...she is going the distance and if any one has any tips or pointers on how to deal with frost or if I even need to worry would be greatly appreciated...other than that I crawled in her cage/cell and snapped random shots...its a tight fit in there above her she has plenty of room to rise though I'm ready to see what the time I put into training does and such she hasn't been topped...I wish I would have known not to take 5 COMPLETE LOWER branches when I cloned her and just took some tall shoots she woulda been a MONSTER...she is still a beast though and I'm glad that she's my girl...THANKS BOMB SEEDS...this plant is like a gift and I appreciate it!!!!

Looking good, not really a lot to add. Keeping the feeding regular, temps are doing okay. She’s looking great buds are really starting to show and trichome production is picking up. Realised humidity was set to 60% last week so she’s had 10 days on 50% now and I think it’s helping produce trichomes as well. Imma keep removing big fan leaves but other than that letting her do her thing Thanks for having a look x Update few days later: Just defoliated a bunch, should’ve actually done this about a week sooner but was too hesitant because I did a big defoliation before flipping. She’s looking much better now though and a lot more bud sites are getting direct light(first 3 photos/video)

Finalmente il gran giorno! Due piante su quattro sono ancora a terra, leggermente più indietro rispetto alle altre due, le toglierò in settimana date che hanno ancora i tricomi trasparenti in gran parte. Le due più mature le ho tolte, sono belle pesanti e molto pelose e cremose, i tricomi erano al 50% lattiginosi e qualcuno ambrato, una decina di giorni/due settimane e peso tutto, vedremo, le impressioni sono buone 💪🏼🍀

Day 85. Just before lights photo's for better true colour understanding, Bio Grow and AlgaMic is out, after finishing this cycle CalMag and Silica out too. Hope its not too early, but girls are really healthy, time to pump up the flowers not leaves :) Day 86. Girls just flying, very happy with Gorillas and Control Garden looks really funky, they stand under no direct light on them... and still flowers looks amazing. Got my new mobile, had to try out :) Next week very busy at work, no updates I think. Day 89. So again i made mistake, while watering them last time accidently left heater on, they overdried , plus temps where at +33c ... Bunny Gorilla looks bad, Gorilla Max got biggest pistil damage, half went brown. Thinking i took nitrogen too early out, but we shall see. On other hand all Control Garden took it well even Cookies with theirs waxy leaves stood thurst nice as such stress can be ... Planing to do defoliation next week, but if Gorillas started to eat themselves already will leave them as it is. Future will show .. Happy Growing !!!

The buds are fattening up, getting there… Some colours appeared, the pistils are turning pink and the sugar leaves got a slight orange-ish tint on the edges. The smell gets stronger, but nothing unpleasant at all. I will change the watering schedule to 4L in every 3 days

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 6 From Seed (≈ Week 2 Flower / Pre-Flower Phase) Quick Recap for New Readers This run includes multiple Animal Mints plants, all treated similarly, but we’re mainly cataloging two reference plants to clearly show how timing affects structure and development: • Plant A → 12/12 from seed • Plant B → ~15 days under 16/8 veg, then flipped to flower Same genetics, same room, same feeding — different timelines. That’s the whole experiment. ⸻ Plant A vs Plant B — Why Two Plants? • Plant A (12/12 from seed) • More compact • Slower early structure • Responds very well to gentle leaf bending and light training • Still stretching and stacking nicely • Plant B (short veg period) • Bigger frame • More developed branching • Further along in flower at the same “seed age” • Took light cleanup / lollipopping better This small veg window made a huge difference in structure and flower progression, and that’s exactly why we’re documenting both. ⸻ ✂️ Canopy Work (No Heavy Defoliation) This week we did selective leaf removal, not a true defoliation: • Opened airflow and light paths • Removed shaded or blocking leaves • Light lollipopping on Plant B only • Plant A kept mostly intact, just leaf bending and spacing Goal wasn’t stress — it was space, airflow, and efficiency. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day Temp: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on height & position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm (now stabilizing around 909 ppm) As outside temps stayed cooler, the room naturally became its own heat source: • Increased plant mass • Higher light intensity • Under-canopy lighting added No forced heaters. No extremes. Just letting the system balance itself. 🌬️ Airflow • Vortex extraction • Multiple cross-flow fans • Constant gentle movement No leaf chaos — just steady motion. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks a clear transition phase. • EC: ~2.4 • pH: 6.5 (transitioning down — all feeds now 6.0+) Why Higher pH Right Now? As plants move into flower, nutrient demand shifts: • Better Ca / Mg uptake • Stronger phosphorus & potassium availability • Root activity increases Slightly higher pH at this stage supports structural growth and flower formation, especially under higher light and CO₂. Nutrient Transition • Terra Grow → Flowering nutrients • Supporting the hormonal shift from stretch → stack • Small signs of possible cal-mag demand observed — already being addressed, nothing severe ⸻ 🌿 Growth Observations • Both plants look healthy and vigorous • Plant B is clearly ahead in flower development • Plant A continues to stretch and respond beautifully to training • Leaf color overall is excellent • Bud sites stacking cleanly At this point: • All plants are in pre-flower / early flower • We’re counting this as Week 2 flower in the life cycle ⸻ 📸 Studio Session Plants were brought into the studio to: • document structure clearly • show node spacing and canopy differences • create a clean visual timeline Photos reflect real structure, not “posed perfection”. ⸻ ❤️ Final Words Big thanks to: • the geneticists • the sponsors • the platform • the OGs • the newcomers • the critics • the lovers • even the haters Everyone has a place here. We share wins, mistakes, and lessons openly so we can all grow better together. Criticism is welcome — it’s how progress happens.

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 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.

Die Blüten werden langsam. Bei dem vielen Regen und der Kälte in Deutschland geht es natürlich weniger schnell, als man sich das wünscht. Aber ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Damen sind tough. Das Wetter (und auch ich) waren definitiv nicht zimperlich mit ihnen ...
