Hope to get some feedback about nutrition : After 1 plant developed a small brown tip, I started feeding. A total of 116.6 liters of water goes into my system. The feeding schedule says that you should give 4 ml of root juice per liter of water. So: 116.6 x 4 = 466 in total for week 1. So, 466/7 = 66.5 ml per day. Despite this, the differences in root growth per container seem very different. 1 bin was so far behind that I changed them. However, after 1 day a brown mass developed in the roots. The others are still nice and white. Is this already the bereft root rot? I've made some pictures and a video. The first plant in the video was first in the container of the third plant in the video. EC value = 0.6 PH = 6.6 Update 3-5 : After adding more air, problem solved. Need to keep an eye on plant #3. I've put sticks on top of the startblock. 1 stick is plant #1 etc. Plant 3 is behind the rest. Root development also differs from the rest. Instead of a long (about 50 cm) long carrot, they are a few short (10/15 cm). The plant is also significantly smaller than the rest. Can't do much now so, let's hope and see she can catch up.

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Purple Punch F1👈 So we are now moving into week 6 of flower and everything is looking good 👍 Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall 😳 Everything is looking good 👍sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues 😅 So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

Hi Growmies, So let me introduce you this 4 little gorilla gals who survived the first week of their life in the wild. As I mentioned last week, we needed 4 healthy individual to populate the future forest and it’s succeeded. The one who struggled is also starting to catch up to her sisters.🌱 They got a bit lanky as I was way too careful with the light. One needed help because she fell on the pot. So slowly raised the light intensity first to 220 ppfd and at the end of the week we finished at 350. They seem to like it so will leave it for a few days. The sf1000 is running on 55% at the moment.🌞 Watered twice this week. First with 150ml each and 3 days later with 220ml. No macronutrients have been given to them yet.💦 I’m happy how they look 14 days after the start of germination. See you next week!🙌

❄️ ANIMAL MINTS — Legends of the Frozen North Folder 9 — Germination Report (12/12 Schedule) 8×8 Last 2025 Run ⸻ 1. Prologue to the Frozen North Animal Mints enters the grow room like a creature forged in ice — a strain whose legend, power, and resilience echo the spirit of the Frozen North. Under the strict 12/12 light regime of this run, the three seedlings selected for this journey stand as the first cubs of a polar lineage, preparing to carve their story into this frozen saga. A fourth, more mature plant waits beyond the blizzard, hidden from the narrative for now — the Elder of the North — to be revealed later as the story unfolds. ⸻ 2. Seeds of the North — Selection & Identity • Total Seeds Germinated: Several • Selected for the Saga: Three seedlings • The Hidden Elder: One pre-veg plant (≈3 weeks), to appear in Week 1 Veg Every seed showed the strength expected from a creature adapted to cold survival — fast, uniform, and determined. ⸻ 3. Conditions of the Northern Realm To maintain continuity across the 8×8 project, Animal Mints begins its legend under the same strict environmental code: • Light Schedule: 12/12 from Day 0 • Medium: Identical to previous folders for comparative integrity • Humidity: Naturally high in early stages, forming “frost” (condensation) on leaves • Temperature: Stable warmth against the metaphorical cold These conditions create the perfect environment to introduce the Frozen North theme: a harsh cycle demanding strength, discipline, and adaptability. ⸻ 4. Emergence of the Young Bears — Germination Performance The three chosen seedlings pushed through the soil like small white bears rising from beneath snow: • Strong taproots with vigorous direction • Clean, symmetrical cotyledons • Confident posture • No deformities • Unified emergence time The Animal Mints clan begins with perfect early synchronization. ⸻ 5. The Frost Effect — Notes on Condensation & Macro Shots Macro photography captured “glacier droplets” on the tiny leaf surfaces, magnified to look like heavy ice beads. In reality: • The droplets are tiny • Macro magnification exaggerates size • It is natural humidity and leaf transpiration • No stress is present • No pathogens, burn, or imbalance Just the beauty of frost on young life, true to the Frozen North aesthetic. ⸻ 6. Behavior Under the Polar Cycle (12/12) Even from Day 0, the seedlings quickly adapted to the shortened daylight cycle — similar to life in the far north: • Upright, resilient posture • Zero uncontrolled stretch • Steady leaf development • A rhythm of growth shaped by long “nights” These observations contribute to the scientific and mythological study of how a strain can thrive under near-Arctic light conditions. ⸻ 7. The Elder of the North (To Be Introduced Later) For now, the older pre-veg plant remains behind the veil — a creature already forged through harsher early conditions. She will emerge later in: 📌 Week 1 VEG — “Arrival of the Elder” At that moment, her presence will expand the legend: • A seasoned warrior entering the Frozen North • Standing beside the three seedlings • Offering immediate comparison between 12/12-born plants and a more traditional veg-grown specimen This delayed introduction strengthens the narrative arc and enriches the diary’s mythos. ⸻ 8. The Journey Ahead The legend continues with: • Early structural development • Macro photography documentation • Weekly chapter-style reports • The Elder’s arrival • The shaping of the full Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North saga 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.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

this grow has not been good. but its ok. all part of the process. leaves are not as green as i liked. i see leaf edges burned. so most likely just too much nute in soil? i did lost one. but its ok. she didn't do well from the beginning. maybe soil was just too hot and heavy?

Time to Acclimate! Small dose of nutrients & LEDs will go from 50 -75% over the course of the next week. ~~~~~~~~~~ Roots look good, transplanted and ready to explode through veg! Nutrients will be on next week's post - the above is what I use to acclimate.

Mild nitrogen toxicity still in effect from a couple weeks ago, leaves showing a deep green with a bit of waxiness to the shine and tell tale curl under. New growth seems to be growing normally however, so the past couple flushes seem to be helping. Bud development is slow while stem growth is advancing pretty rapidly, relatively so. Just waiting a few more days to start adding GHE micro & bloom nutes with a very minimal (.5 ml) amount of floragro and armor si.

i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry
