🌱 Animal Mints — Week 5 from Seed (12/12) Special Report: Mixed Timelines – Pre-Flower & Flower Quick recap for new readers This run is a 12/12 from seed project, designed to observe structure, resilience, and expression without extended veg. This week is special because two different timelines are happening in the same room, offering a clear comparison of development paths. ⸻ Plant Timelines Overview 🌿 Plant A — “12/12 from Seed” • Timeline: 12/12 from seed • Stage: Entering pre-flower • Training: Light leaf bending & tucking only • Condition: • Extremely lush, deep healthy green • Calm posture, no stress signals • Very balanced structure when viewed from above This plant is transitioning gently and naturally, exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ 🌸 Plant B — Short Veg → Flower • Timeline: ~15 days under 16h light, then flipped • Stage: Early flower, clearly more advanced • Training: No training at all • Structure: • Classic Christmas / pine tree form • Strong apical dominance • Already showing clear calyx formation and bud building Despite no training, the structure is beautiful and symmetrical. From above, both plants resemble a compact bush — a great illustration of how genetics express across timelines. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions (Week 5) This was a tricky environmental week due to cold external conditions: • Outside: ~4°C with ~98% RH • Inside tent: • Temperature: ~21°C • RH: ~58% (stable and acceptable) • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Plant response: Calm, steady, resilient — no signs of stress The plants are handling the cold remarkably well so far. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy • Top lighting: • 100% power • PPFD: 700–850, depending on plant height • Under-canopy lighting: • Being introduced by the end of this week • Starting at 30% power, intentionally low The goal is not intensity yet — just to signal photon availability from below while maintaining strong top-down light. 🙏 Thanks to Lumiflora for the under-canopy lights being tested 🙏 Thanks to Future of Growth for the main fixtures ⸻ 💧 Watering, Nutrition & Philosophy Water source • Rainwater + dehumidifier water mix • This is why Cal-Mag Pro has been added preventively • Not due to deficiency • But to ensure stability during early flower with low-mineral water This is explained intentionally to avoid future issues, not to correct current ones. ⸻ Feeding structure Autopots (6 plants – mineral only) • EC: 2.29 • pH: ~6.0 • Reservoir = mineral only (organic mixes don’t behave well in tanks) Hand-fed plants (including some Autopot plants) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 • Organic + mineral mix • Autopot plants receive top feeding once per week This approach requires more work — but it allows: • Individual plant observation • Weight checks before watering • Natural dry-backs • A deeper connection with each plant’s drinking behavior Dry-outs are intentional and combined with enzyme applications, helping recycle dead root matter into available nutrients and encouraging active root exploration. ⸻ Genetics & General Impression I’m genuinely impressed by Animal Mints genetics: • Consistent structure across timelines • Strong health signals • Calm, resilient behavior under less-than-ideal external conditions Both plants are showing real promise, each in their own way. 🙏 Thanks to Zamnesia 🙏 Thanks to Plagron And thanks to everyone following along — supporters, skeptics, haters, lovers — everyone has a place here. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Clear flower progression on the vegged plant • Pre-flower stacking on the 12/12 plant • Plants responding to under-canopy photons • Increased differentiation between timelines Don’t expect: • Heavy defoliation • Aggressive feeding changes • Forced development This run is about listening, not pushing. ⸻ Final note This week is officially marked as Week 5 Flower in GrowDiaries, but in reality it’s a blend of pre-flower and flower stages — and that’s exactly why this report matters. 👽 New team member Meet Mr. Baggy Our new fluffy alien/beaver/whatever-he-is friend, won through a Grow Diaries contest. Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it 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.

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.

Muy buenas familia justo ahora mismo las acabó de regar y creo que será el último riego con alimentos que le daré los siguientes sólo serán con el pH a medida y asta cochesar según yo ya más o menos le quedan un par de semanas y la verdad q tienen una pinta 🤤🤤🤤ya quiero darles un mordisco 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣e visto las hojas como un poco estresada nose si es por que se me fue la cabeza y tarde un poco en hacer el riego o se me está torciendo en la recta final ustedes como la ven familia espero sus consejos que tengan buena semana familia paz

Harvest Die Reise mit Purple Lemonade Auto von Royal Queen Seeds geht zuende, habe mich dafür entschieden sie heute schon zu legen. Sie hängt in 3 Teilen zum Trocknen 😌 😊 Joa sonst lief es soweit gut, sie ist höher geworden als gedacht, hat gut was dran hängen und bin gespannt, wie viel sie mir wohl auf die Waage bringt, finden wirs heraus 🤭

Going to veg for another week after they settle. May trellis, may not.

The girls are starting the stretch. Did alot of defoliation, and lst. Got net put up and canopy evened out. The trop pop is on day 35 and other 2 are on day 31. Got my light set at around 650ppfd withba DLI around 40

Tag 40: Ich habe die Pflanze entlaubt und ein Netz zum scroggen eingebaut. Jetzt wird es spannend wie die Pflanze das alles wegsteckt.

08/13/2019 Another rainy day. Recovering from topping and,fimming. Looking good for start of flower, soon. 08/18/2019 Did a little training.

Esta semana creció muy bien, la maceta que había buscado de forma provisoria anduvo muy bien ya la próxima semana voy a buscar la maceta definitiva para floración y arrancaré con un poco más de luz para poder dar un poco más de flores con un poco más de resina muy buena la cepa fuel og de Ripper seed, la verdad que supera mis expectativas día a día muy buen crecimiento muy buen olor excelente resistencia al estrés y buena tolerancia los calores y a las cambio de temperatura.

Tag 98: Nachdem die Shogun etwas "geschlafen" und eher ab statt aufgebaut hat, ist sie doch seit ein paar Tagen wieder in den Gang gekommen und die Blüten sind schön weitergewachsen. Tag 102: Es scheint ein Kühler August zu werden, das ist ganz Wunderbar für meine Pflanzen 😍 jetzt in der Endphase.

Parece que ha terminado de estirar. Practico una defoliación intensa para airear los futuros cogollos y dejar mas espacio en el cuarto de cultivo. Agrupo de nuevo las macetas en su lugar optimo para asi rellenar por completo la carpa @marshydro. Me quedé algo corto de nutrientes pero estoy muy contento con los resultados, cada vez le voy encontrando mas su punto optimo. Siempre es mejor quedarse corto que pasarse.

Day 9 I had no choice but to defoliate, the canopy was getting way to dense and humidity was hard to control even with my 30 pin dehumidifier. Hopefully will not affect to much. Probably I will do another defoliation on day 21. TDS stays at 550PPM this week and CO2 at 1200PPM.

Super wie sie sich macht jetzt! Die 1. Blätter sahen am Anfang sehr gestresst aus. Aber jetzt hat sie sich gut erholt und eingefunden!

Let’s go!!! Today is day 52 from seed , and we are officially in bloom stage😍!!! Not much of a change for this bloom schedule, everything will stay the same but instead of 3 tsps of grow and 1 tsp of bloom , we just turn that around to 3tsp of Bloom and 1 tsp of veg an we are good to go!!! Now we get to watch em stack up over the next few weeks Let’s grow lol ladies let’s grow!!! Hope you all enjoy and have an amazing productive day as well as the week. Peace, love, an positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻if there’s any questions please ask , more then happy to help anyone out!!!!

Muy satisfecho con el resultado de mi primer cultivo SCROG espero afinar detalles y mejorar el uso de la malla en el próximo 🙌🏾

Start of week 4 Fed w nutrients 7/11/25 Watered 7/13 Fed with nutrients 7/16

So we are still letting her go as she keeps packing on weight and still a lot of clear trichome heads .. I trimmed the branch that broke off over a week ago and she looks fire, i will say there is not any amber on the branch that broke off.But that's just gonna make for a heady buzz .. i should have used more silica in hindsight, but I've also let this one go longer because I'd rather harvest a week late than a week early. That is a lesson I learned over the last few years... Not only that, but she's packing on weight everyday.. I'm thinking another week maybe.. I will say this the 8th i have curing right now.Looks and smells so good.. i think I'm going to start curing. In a jar and burping because these terp lock bags have been hit and miss with me... i'm no longer working because I got hurt at work and now have four bulging discs, two of which are pressed against the nerve that shoot down my right leg to where my knee is numbingly.. I'm thinking maybe grabbing a couple C vaults.. Anybody have any suggestions iddefinitely appreciate it.. And as always, God bless and happy, growing 🙏
