Really coming along nice trying to get established in case I am called away for work or anything else over summer ideally these ladies will continue getting fed as long is there given clean balance water I’m going to hit em heavy with seabird guano at flower, probably crank up the molasses on that end, really just properly letting water sit oxygenated mixing and letting solutions hit microbial levels that put the real work in, I’m hitting with a nute I’m making myself 3 times a week at point all water is being carbon filter dechlorinated the aerated then to casting or mycorrhizae brews that I rotate my mycorrhizae brew is Bigfoot water soluble and dechlorinated water except I do more then recommended ok on the each time. Results are stunning my cover are dense earthy and rich bio smells tons of spiders and other good predators a large toad made a home in the clover also he must be chowing cause he’s healthy. I will be making a drive and coming back with a bunch of nutes I’m picking up out of state as well as some Carolina mantis cocoon I’m staying up on pest this year. I’m steady rotating neem bt since birth I’m not fucking around this time. Crank up concentration slowly but hitting light preventative pest spraying at least twice per week as it get warmer I’m gonna be in a constant panic about the stupid moths. Plants drink a lot of water already and technically my outdoor season has not begun for most around me till Mother’s Day. I’m already 11 weeks deep. Cages are rough on leaves but I’m not to worried about the ladies are Strong a week of cages they Wii all be locked hugging there cage in place. Something in particular that’s rather stunning is the leaf quality health of all strains, it’s def what I’m doing with the soil. it appears that microbiological forces at work influences aspects of the plants of which results I’d yet to receive. The greenness and the crisp leaf sound when the leaf’s brush against something. Getting REALLY Excited about things! near perfect start. My big healthy wendigo not the cripple is def a top perform when I comes to sheer mass that is because that plant is super definitely tallest sitting at about 2ft. They are topping and splitting real well, black phoenix v2 isn’t performing to my expectations so far, though it’s new branches that coming in will be game changer come solstice. So we are now over month and a half left of healthy veg and flower stretch on these, all things willing I’m betting three these size ration looking for. (12ft or bust) Hoku seems to be great seeds for people trying to do outdoor for quantity. Mind you I have yet to see the flower this is mere speculation from what I’m witnessing of its veg time. The gluey c99 though.. that plants a straight beauty. Short but kicking perfectly shaped little sativa shaped hybrid leafs this plant took to topping perf one the best veg ladies I’ve ever had In this garden so far. Not the tallest but a stunner none the less. The snow jokez are really going for the gain lane too both are topped real well but one particular was my earliest successful top I was able to establish clean two cola fresh off the rip. Perfect fork Excited if these end up becoming trees all these stems and tops are gonna be bursting out the seams. Really want to find something cool to make our massive outdoor cannabis stem knots into one of days if anyone seen any thing cool holler fs. So I did not anticipate the plants flowering so quickly and will be monitoring the situation in the case I need to remove small flowers with a nice top on everything going two weeks or so into may. Got small bud sites developing on every plant.

🌱 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.

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.

Tag 70. Unglaublich wie schnell die ist. Ab jetzt nur noch Wasser bis zur Ernte, die Farben sagen alles 👍 Luftfeuchtigkeit konnte ich tagsüber noch etwas senken, Temperatur lässt sich gut einstellen, Vorbereitungen für die Ernte sind getroffen. 🥦❤️

Was a kinda busy week kinda lapse on #1 got a bite of spider mite prob from a near by tree...also breed a branch will see how successful that was #2 is jus doing her thing can't complain no issus

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

Runoff ph is a bit high this time. Don’t know why. Around 6.8. Average ph going in is 6.0. Also the big fan leaves on ice cream cakes are kind of strange shaped. Will see how they are going to look later.

She grew 7cm higher this week. Got a bit bushier too.

Vegetation Alonggggg ;P

Day 69 - Very glad I decided to leave these because all the buds are still fattening up on both these ladies and both smell amazing & are super frosty! Extremely impressed with all 3 strains so far can’t wait to get some more Doctors Choice genetics🔥🔥 Thanks for following & happy growing friends!

Started the flush 4 days ago. The main cola on this beast is the size of a 2 litre soda bottle. If I don't get 150g+ of this plant I'll be amazed.

Moin, Die 4. Blütewoche ist ab heute offiziell vorbei. Die Blütenbildung ist im vollen Gange und die kleinen aber sehr kompakten Buds stacken sich langsam aber sicher immer mehr. Die Terpenen gehen klar in Richtung pures Candy, gefühlt ändert sich da trotzdem jeden Tag die Nuancen im Terpenprofil. Nach dem Lolipopping bleibt die Struktur weiter offen, viele neue Blätter wurden nicht gebildet wodurch eine weitere entlaubung in den kommenden Wochen eher unwahrscheinlich ist. Vorallem will ich die Pflanze auch nicht weiter stressen, da sie wohl zum Zwittern neigen und generell schwer zu kultivieren sein soll. Bisher kann ich das nicht bestätigen, kein einziger Mangel, keine Anzeichen von größeren Stress und auch sonst läuft es wirklich gut. Trotzdem sehe ich genug Gründe warum der Ertrag am Ende vermutlich nicht allzu viel sein wird. Eine offene Struktur, kleine Blätter, dünne Stämme etc. Für die großen Erträge grow ich diesen Strain und generell auch nicht, Terps überalles! Hey, As of today, the fourth week of flowering is officially over. Flowering is in full swing, and the small but very compact buds are slowly but surely piling up more and more. The terpenes are clearly leaning toward pure candy, though it feels like the nuances in the terpene profile are still changing every day. After lollipopping, the structure remains open; not many new leaves have formed, making further defoliation in the coming weeks rather unlikely. Above all, I don’t want to stress the plant any further, as it’s said to be prone to feminization and generally difficult to cultivate. So far, I can’t confirm that, not a single deficiency, no signs of major stress, and everything else is going really well. Still, I see enough reasons why the yield probably won’t be all that great in the end: an open structure, small leaves, thin stems, etc. I’m not growing this strain or any strain, terpenes are what matter most!

Noticed some slight yellowing and the white blemishes on a couple of the older plant's leaves were getting bigger. I believed the white blemishes were do to a cal-mag deficiency and added that to my feed. Also was using 1/4 nute strength and now bumped up to full to counter the yellowing. Started LST this week too.

Sin duda para los amantes del terpeno anaranjado es una clarisima ganadora, es pura mandarina, citrico, refrescante, imagino una extraccion con esta genetica tiene que ser increible.

1 sour livers is smelling sweet and lemony other 1 smelling like a zesty liver🤔. Cant quite put my finger on the aroma coming from the northern hog but shes possibly in the best condition she ever has been.

Está semana as cores estão mais vivas e o cheiro está forte ualll Red Hot com cheiro floral bastante tricômas, a sweet zkitllez cheiro de frutas tropicais intenso e doce adoro sweet seeds está de parabéns lol

Well I definitely got my nighttime temps down and got some color and trich production going on this girl and the blueberry as well as the orange sherbet. I absolutely cannot wait to smoke this beast. The colas are massive and I've gone to the Overdrive in prep for the coming flush. Cruise control engaged...
