🌱 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.

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.

Que hay familia, nuestras única variedad con predominancia sativa, bastante vigorosa, flores bastante compactas vemos como van formándose y engordando, desprenden un aroma bastante dulce me recuerda al regaliz rojo. Humedad y temperatura controladas dentro de los parámetros.

Final week with all the girls, I found mold in two plants, approx. 1-2 gram I must throw out.

Day one of Early Veg For these Hydroponic systems. . . . The water pump for the aeroponic system was blocked from running. . . We adjusted some materials for the system to work more effectively. . . . Due to the water pump running without a chiller, the water temp was at 33C which is much too high. . . . We set the pump on a timer that will turn on for 15 minutes every hour. . . . We also turned on the AC to cool down the room. . . . Hopefully with all of this, the aeroponic system will be running with little to no problems . .

[Week 2 - Seedling Stage] The seedlings emerge, and we introduce them to gentle light within the minigrow box. Careful watering ensures they receive the right amount of moisture.

A wonderful genetic thank you Dutch Passion❤️‍🔥🤩 The trim was super easy the buds are FAT & FROSTY full of resin & the smell ABSOLUTELY out of this world!

Day 43. One Blackberry is going for the roof. Both late ones are small and have 33 days to flower .... Ridiculous ... That run shouldn't happen. But I have at least 5 okeish plants and hope to push them with Mars SP3000 as extras, plus first wavers will be starting to fall , so more space and light .... Day 44. Two smallest girls should go and are going. I will create second proper grower this year already ! I gave to this guy 5 Alaskan Diesel seeds for this year to try to grow, but only because of time - I can't finish smallest two - so I will give them for my friend as well. One turn out not so bad from those 3 lategoers , so I hope 30 days of flower will be enough for her ... One Strawberry Banana looks like a magazine cover girl ! Day 46. Yesterday I kicked them out and it was frosty night, both went down , some branches froze ... It will be interesting ... Friend said all 5 girls pop out and he has enough, so I had to find quick space for them ... The rest was rearranged in main grow room. Happy Growing !!!

Starting to get some size on them. Hope the little one manages to catch up and won't need a little ramp. Still no preflower signs.

Another week for this SOG of Auto's from our friends fastbuds, at the moment they are doing great, i do notice that some genetics required less food than others (they all got the same amount but some showed signs of N toxicity last weeks) At the moment we noticed the stretch and we needed to put the lamp higher, we are growing with a TS1000 at the moment and things are looking good 😊

from the original grow ive only kept the 2 pineapple express and the 3 grandaddy purples... ive sent one of the grandaddy purples to flower its probably in week 2 right now and i will be making a diary about it. the northern light ive turned into a mother so its no longer a part of this grow diary since its going to be kept in the vegetative state. ill be sending 1 pineapple express and 2 grandaddy purples to flower in the flower tent. as of next week.. i will feed them bud ignitor an begin the process :)

Hier auch werden die sauren zitronigen Noten deutlich.

This auto ghost OG loves her little home. She's doing well. Had some calcium deficiency last week since I ran out of calmag. I was hesitant to use organic calmag, but that was all I could find locally. It is doing the trick though. pH has held stable with no adjustments and the leaf color is looking great. No water change this week since since everyone seems to be happy with the nutrient levels. She popped her first pistils on day 25 so I am hoping she will enter flower soon. Only issue at this point is she is a lot bigger than I ever thought she would get. I will probably have to figure out a way to get them further away from each other. And yes....this plant is 28 days old in a 16 oz cup. At no time have any roots grown out of the cup. Happy growing everyone!

Hi all, Welcome to my🍌💜👊 week update Thank you so much for all support on this bananas journey. Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. 🙏💚❤️💜 Week 14 Jan 15- Jan 21 Flushing and preparation for harvest 😁 on Jan 15 feed girls for the last time with nutrients. It was reduced dose by 60% 5ltr no runoff. Following morning topped up with 6ltr of ph down and only fish shit. Runoffs PH 6.2. Second watering Jan 18 6tr and 7ltr on Jan 21. It was last watering. Week went very well. No white pistils hairs on Athena for a good while and barely few left on Xena. Many buds have different shapes and colours but all of them are equally hard as rocks, sticky and smelling so deliciously. This week trichomes development was just like I wish for. Just milky and amber in play Status on Jan 22. Mostly of buds 20-50% amber. It's just perfect for my needs🤤 On Jan 21 lights were on for the last time and girls will be harvested after 48 or 72h of darkness. Stay tuned for the final week update! Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚👨‍🌾 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

2/2 We are about half way on the 2 biggest, 3 weeks on the SG, and about 6 weeks on the Blue cheese. Damn... You can see how much I lose on the bottom half, but like I said before. It will still be more than I can smoke. And I want to make sure it all gets enough light to ripen and allow plenty of airflow. The only issues in really having is the godberry seems to be premature yellowing, but I still think it's from the light stress early on. She also looks a bit like nute burn. Yeh .. that's probably the fish emulsion I gave it 2 weeks ago when I misread the light stress. Sometimes it's best to stop and think before you do something stupid. I always have at least one plant that goes yellow too soon. Living soil. But I don't think the soil is lacking. I've never dealt with light stress before so it's kinda fucking with my head. But it's all at the top, as you go deeper they get greener. The deep purple stems across 2 different strains was from the light too. I've seen that before but it's been a long time. 2/3 My Blue Cheese is about week 6ish. I lose track temporarily because of how that plant came about. It was started 1 week after the others had already been in the ground. And then she started to flower after only 2 weeks. She popped up on 12/6, the others popped up on 11/30. I can tell by the way she feels she ain't even close. Flowers are nice but there is no density. Theeaves are so frosty they remind me of sage a bit. I did a bit of work on her. Mostly just tied the tops together so she wasn't so sprawled out commandeering an entire 1/4 of the tent. The 2 biggest are really becoming pretty and the ChocoLope is acting like she wants to start showing some color! Trying to keep it cool at night but below 70 and I start having trouble keeping gt VPD up. Strawberry gorilla is plumping up slowly. She didnt start till about 3 weeks ago. So as soon as I move out the Blue Cheese, I'll see if I can give her a bit more light. May have to harvest the BCA in 2 goes. Should have left her tied down, or I should have super cropped that long ass cola bud. If I'm being honest, I just didn't want to hinge that beautiful top. Well .. next time. I plan on growing this beautiful strain a few more times. 2/4 Its always something.. it's a good thing I love growing because if I didn't, this would be a lot of work. So there is some kind of issue with my SIP. The bottom 3" of the pots are getting soggy and the plants are barely drinking for days. The pots are heavy AF so something is a miss. I pulled out the wicks to allow them to dry back a bit. Then I'm going to try to connect them again. So this is where I have to back track and think about what has been different lately... Normally I use frozen water bottles to keep the water under 70° as much as possible. I let it sit at 75 for 2 days and that's when I noticed they stopped drinking and the connection is all sloppy. Could that be it? I recently broke down the reservoir and refilled it... Could that be it? I also moved the wicks out to the widest holes so they touch more of the pot than they did before... That might be it... I am a bit ashamed to admit it but I actually consulted AI about this. It says it could be any of those things, and I need to totally drain the res after the dry back. Something about the air gap is saturated. Well..... I'm gonna dry em back, and treat it like a fresh install. I'll stay on the old holes where I was before. And I'll keep the rezzy cool. 2/5 Ok.. so 24 hours was good for all except the blue cheese. She was still a bit too heavy to reconnect. I'm keeping the wicks out for 48 and the reassess. I tried to keep it exactly how I had it in the beginning. The BCA is close... Closer than I realized. Two, maybe 3 more weeks and she gets the chop.. but this time I'm going to practice a bit more patience. I remember the last time I grew it I told my roommate that it would connect all the way up the cola. It never actually did. It tis time.. you have to look for stem. This plant is literally ALL BUD! I love this strain.. 2/7 Strawberry gorilla at about 3 weeks flower. Startig to fill out. New pics. Blue cheese is almost done. Calyxes getting plump!! Choco lope pheno #1 is starting to take on rally dark sugar leaves. And the God Berry is a bit too. All but the blue cheese are still connected and SIP is not hooked to reservoir. I'm forcing a small reset on the SIP. Hoping to reconnect them all soon. More to come...

De planten groeien goed en snel ik raad deze soorten jullie aan. Wat een plaatjes volg me en like me guerrilla grow van super sativa seed club

Been a good week gonna try up ppm a little...been getting little ph drop and don't have any root issues..... so think they are hungry..also maybe a little magnesium deficiency on back plants so might add a little epsom salt see how that turns out...

Both plants are currently being flushed, B2 will be ready for harvest the next few days and B1 will still flush for another week. The fade in B2 is incredible, truly my best plant I've grown so far.. best structure, best density, best everything. Looking forward to this harvest for sure. Probably will not post another update until my harvest results in a couple of weeks.
