As December is near the growth is slower than would like but is still thriving with more stretching happening for the side branches and the mini side branches start to stretch as well one side branch I recently topped is recovering and can see development at a decent rate hoping for some start of pre flowering signs within the week or 2 she’s really been stretching outwards I lollipop some of the weaker underdeveloped branches so can focus more energy on the healthier parts of the plant

Moved them to new tent and added a trellis This week one of flower

some defoliation this week.buds continue to fill throughout this week. slight increase in flowering and growth feeds. good week everyone 🙏💚🌱

🌱: one of 2 seeds made it, probably treated too roughly and too wet, the second one did it, 2 days in the glas of water, 3 days in soil. 💧 : Start with SIP 4l 💡 : Start with ppfd 280 μmol/m²/s 🤔:

I have moved my last automatic ladies of the season indoor cause I didn't want to risk the integrity of the nugs because of the high humidity. I have brought her with all of my plants under my LED panel of HortiONE 190w. 100% organically grown with Biotabs organics, super citric and earthy and kushy smells, very special plant, definitely would love to make a sea of green with 25 blackberry kush in a 1,20. LOVE IT! 👌 💎💚😋

The tree has no problems, but insects and ants have started to appear. IPM has been sprayed for prevention. Wait and see the symptoms.

Wow..week 8. Shouldn't she be flowering by now? She's doing a lot better, her leaves are green again and she's growing. I'm proud of her. added some co2 to the tent, I'm curious to see what happens. Day 60.... I'm bringing back her to life. 😊. Day 63 I believe she's alive with all that green

Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North ☃️ Part 1 — The Harvest Begins Before we begin this harvest report properly, we once again want to apologize for dividing this journey into multiple parts. Just like we did with the Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy series, the harvest, drying, trimming, curing, smoke review, and final strain analysis will happen across different weeks and different reports. But honestly… this is the only way we can truly document everything properly. We do not want to simply show the final dry buds and disappear. We want to show the process. The details. The decisions. The mistakes, the observations, the science, the emotions, the beauty, and the philosophy behind the work. Educational growing deserves time and space, and these girls absolutely earned it. So today marks the beginning of the final chapter for our Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North. And what a chapter this is. ⸻ From seed to harvest, these girls proved once again why 12/12 from seed continues to fascinate us so much. The morphology is incredibly efficient. Plants stay relatively compact compared to traditional long-vegetative runs, but what they lose in height, they repay with density, structure, resin production, and flower efficiency. The result? Compact giants. Dense towers of medicine. Heavy branches unable to support themselves anymore. Massive flowers held up by yo-yos because gravity simply started winning the battle. And honestly… this room became absolutely beautiful near the end. The senescence was fully setting in. The fade was impossible to ignore. During daytime photos and nighttime photos alike, the room transformed into a palette of autumn colors: * bright yellows, * faded lime greens, * soft oranges, * reddish and brownish tones, * curled leaves, * dry fans, * exhausted but fulfilled plants reaching the end of their biological cycle. And this is important to explain. A lot of growers panic when they see plants fading late in flower, but in many cases, especially near harvest, this is completely natural senescence. The plant understands its lifecycle is ending. Nutrients stored inside the leaves are being mobilized and redirected. Chlorophyll breaks down. Colors emerge. The plant slowly consumes itself while finishing resin and flower production. To us, this is one of the most beautiful moments in cultivation. Not death. Completion. ⸻ As always, we also harvest in darkness. Once the lights go off for the final night… they do not turn back on again. The plants remain in their night cycle until harvest. We personally prefer this approach because the plant is already in its resting metabolic state. The environment is cooler, calmer, and less stressful, and we avoid “waking the plant back up” only to cut it down shortly after. Before harvest, we also stop watering completely. We allow the substrate and the plant itself to dry naturally during the final stage. This helps reduce excess moisture inside the flowers and assists with the beginning of the drying process after harvest. ⸻ And speaking of flowers… These buds are enormous. Absolutely stacked. Rock solid. Frost-covered. Dense from top to bottom. The yo-yos became mandatory near the end because several branches simply could not support their own weight anymore. Every cola looked like it was carrying the entire weight of winter on its shoulders. Animal Mints truly lived up to its name. Frozen flowers. Heavy resin. Cold-looking trichome coverage everywhere. And despite the density, airflow management remained extremely important during the entire run. Defoliation timing, environmental control, humidity balance, and branch spacing all played a major role in making sure these flowers could mature safely without issues. ⸻ Of course, while removing dead leaves and cleaning the plants before hanging them whole for drying… something magical happened once again. Charas. That beautiful living resin slowly started building up on the fingers. And for those unfamiliar: Charas is one of the oldest forms of hashish production in the world. Traditionally associated with India and regions like Malana, charas is made by gently rubbing living cannabis flowers with the hands until the resin accumulates on the skin, later rolled into small resin balls by hand pressure alone. Unlike dry sift or modern extraction methods, charas is made from living plants. The resin is still alive, fresh, fragrant, warm, and incredibly aromatic. In places like Malana, ancient traditions surrounding charas still survive to this day. Entire generations preserved these techniques for centuries, often connected spiritually to Lord Shiva himself, who in Hindu mythology is deeply associated with cannabis. So every time we feel that resin slowly coating the gloves and fingers while handling living plants, it feels less like waste… and more like participating in something ancient. Something human. Something sacred. ⸻ The girls are now hanging whole. Full plants. Slow drying, exactly the way we prefer. For the first couple of days, humidity stays around 45% to help pull initial excess moisture away safely. After that, the environment stabilizes around: * 60% RH * 18–20°C And now begins one of the most important parts of the journey: patience. Over the next 7–10 days, chlorophyll will continue breaking down slowly, moisture will redistribute through the flowers, aromas will evolve, and the entire profile of the medicine will begin transforming. This is where harvest stops… and curing truly begins. ⸻ But this is far from the end. The next reports will focus deeply on: * drying observations, * trimming, * resin collection, * finger hash, * curing methods, * storage, * aromas, * textures, * smoke reports, * and the final strain review itself. And honestly… we still do not know how many parts this journey will require. Maybe two more. Maybe three. Maybe even four. But these girls deserve every detail. ⸻ As always, thank you to everyone following this journey and helping make these projects possible. Thank you to: * Zamnesia for the genetics, * Plagron for the nutrients and support, * F.O.G. for the lighting, * and everybody supporting this educational approach to cultivation. And of course… thank you to every grower, every reader, every silent observer, and every curious mind still exploring this incredible plant with respect, patience, and love. The Frozen North still has more stories to tell. 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 💚

Little bit of nutrient burn but nothing to concerning. Multiple medium bud sized sites

day 46, a couple of the plants are showing signs of a deficiency.. i think it might be calcium, but i have no calmag. so i've sprinkled some bonemeal on top of the soil and watered it so it washes through to the soil.. hopefully 😅 ill see how they react tomorrow.. some really nice bud growth going on.. every day i go in i notice swell.😎

Variété parfaite pour les débutants. Les plantes sont très résistantes aux chocs de température et d'humidité. Elles donnent des rendements satisfaisants et un goût agréable. La runtz a une odeur très sucrée, presque comme un gâteau, je n'avais jamais senti une plante avec une odeur pareille, c'est très agréable. Les plants étaient tous petit, 50 centimètres environ, et n'avaient pas beaucoup d'odeur pendant la floraison, c'est parfait si vous voulez être discret. Concernant les effets, on voit bien que c'est une souche 50% sativa 50% indica. Au début les effets sont euphorisants, elle provoque des rires, mais par la suite et donne un bon effet analgésique, parfait pour aller dormir, je n'ai pas trop de flow de pensé avec et c'est très agréable pour se détendre. J'ai obtenu 34g et 45g sachant que j'ai eu pas mal de problèmes.

Eine neue Runde!

Hi everyone, Weed brothers! Welcome to the new Peaky experience that consists in growing in vegetation some photoperiod bean together with other autoflowering for a few weeks before isolating them in another tent under a 12-hour cycle. BEST REGARDS

Hello dear growers and growmies 👊💚 my lemonade haze girls turned into little green bushy trees :) the scent that comes from my closet smells like a candy store 🍬🍭 just delicious 🤤 They get 0.75 l of water 3 times a week and a light dose of fertilizer. The microbe soil life seems to be active, they get a small replenishment of microbes and micro nutrients every 2 weeks. i hope to see first signs of blooms by the end of this week , gotta do a heavy defoliation this or next weekend 🤙😃 thanks to everyone who stopped by I appreciate it very much , stay healthy my friends 🍻💚

🌱Day 36 - Second Week of Flowering 🌱 Hello growing friends! 🌿 Today marks the beginning of the second week of the flowering phase, and I’m very happy with how the buds are developing so far. 🌸✨ Since this is my first grow, I’m truly amazed by how fascinating these plants are. It’s an exciting journey! 🌱🤩 Last week, I struggled with yellow leaves and a calcium & magnesium deficiency. Fortunately, with the help of BioBizz Calmag, things are slowly improving. 🍃💪 Currently, I’ve set the humidity to 45%—according to my research, this is ideal for minimizing the risk of mold. 💧🚫🌿 🌱 Day 42 - Last Day of the Second Flowering Week 🌱 Hello everyone! 🌿 Today marks the last day of the second week of flowering, and I’ve made some updates to my routine. I’ve increased the nutrients to BioBizz Grow (3ml), BioBizz Bloom (2ml), and BioBizz TopMax (1.5ml). The plants are growing well and have recovered from the calcium deficiency. 🍃💪 I’m continuing to add a bit of BioBizz CalMag to prevent any future deficiencies. 🌱✨ This week, I also added some soil to the pots, as the soil level had flattened out quite a bit. I topped up each pot with about 1.5 liters of soil.
