🍪🌿 Animal Mints Week 7 From Seed | Week 3 Flower (12/12 From Birth) Yes — these girls have never seen veg lighting. They were born into 12/12. They have no idea what 18/6 even means. And that changes everything about how we read them. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — For Anyone Arriving Now • 12/12 from seed • Hand-watered • Organic + mineral approach • Multi-layer LED system: • Over-canopy • Inner-canopy • Under-canopy (almost fully active) • CO₂: ~909 ppm • PPFD range: ~850–1200 (height dependent) These are not low-intensity plants. The room is tuned for consumption. And not every plant is ready to eat like this. These are. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot • 🌡️ Day temp: ~28°C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.9 • pH: ~6.5 • 💨 CO₂: ~909 ppm Now let’s address the elephant in the room: “28°C in flower? Isn’t that hot?” Only if you misunderstand LED physics. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf VPD — Not Room VPD Under LED lighting: • Minimal infrared radiation • Leaf surface temperature runs 2–4°C below ambient • So while room reads 28°C, leaf surface likely sits 24–26°C With RH at 65%: 👉 Leaf VPD lands right in early–mid flower comfort zone. Signs that confirm it: • No tacoing • No stress curl • No bleaching • No claw • Strong praying • Fast metabolism • Uniform green tone We guide with room readings. But we decide based on leaf behavior. And the leaves are calm. ⸻ 💧 EC 2.9 — Why So High? Because the room demands it. Let’s break it down: • High PPFD (850–1200) • Elevated CO₂ (~900 ppm) • High transpiration window (correct VPD) • Strong stretch phase (week 3 flower from seed) This creates a high-consumption environment. EC isn’t high because we want it high. It’s high because: • They are eating. • They are stretching. • They are metabolically active. If EC were too high, we would see: • Uniform tip burn • Dark clawing • Slowed stretch • Salt stress patterns We are not seeing that. We are seeing appetite. Important note for readers: Not all plants should be fed like this. You must read your room before copying numbers. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Light Haircut, Not Surgery They didn’t desperately need it. But: • The room was being reset • Airflow harmonization matters • Light penetration symmetry matters • Under-canopy exposure matters From the timeline: Before • Healthy canopy • Some interior shading • Early bud sites forming After • Clean lower third • Clear interior airflow • Defined tops • Light pathways opened I didn’t strip. I refined. This is maintenance defoliation — not panic defoliation. ⸻ 🌱 Structural Observations Check the photos: • Internode spacing moderate • Tops stacking evenly • Pistil clusters forming • Stretch still active but controlled • Stems thickening in response to light intensity They are transitioning from architecture phase into production phase. Week 3 from seed-flower timing means: They are slightly developmentally behind traditional veg-then-flip plants. And that’s expected. ⸻ 🔬 Multi-Layer Lighting System — Why It Works We are not just blasting top light. We are: • Feeding tops from above • Feeding sides from inner canopy • Preparing lower bud sites with under-canopy This creates: • Even auxin redistribution • Less apical dominance • More balanced lower bud viability • Reduced larf development later When under-canopy fully activates? We’ll likely see lower sites tighten dramatically. ⸻ 📈 What To Expect Next Week Expect: • Continued vertical stretch (but slowing) • Clear bud site stacking • Increased water uptake • Slight calcium demand increase • Stem lignification Do Not Expect Yet: • Bud swelling • Dense calyx stacking • Heavy resin • Final terp expression We are still in early production. This is foundation week. ⸻ ❤️ Gratitude Section To: • The OGs following since day one • The silent readers learning quietly • The loud critics keeping us sharp • The lovers • The haters • The Grow Diaries community • The platform hosting this experiment • The sponsors supporting the journey • Every single person who clicks, reads, observes, questions This is more than growing. It’s documentation. It’s education. It’s transparency. And it’s respect for the plant. 📡 Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Elle va bien . Rien de trop compliqué avec Gaïa Green et environ 3 l d’eau à tout les 2 3 jours…

Das war die letzte Woche Vegetation. Ich hätte gern noch 1-2 Wochen drangehängt aber mir ist der Veg Dünger ausgegangen wie man sehr stark an phäno #2 sieht. Also ab morgen Blütephase.

Harvest at day 69/107 Buds look dense and heavy. I'll be back in ~10 days with the final stats after drying and trimming

Week 4 of flower Things going okay the cap mag is helping I think not having much de coloration on leafs still bottom watering and top watering in between bottom watering fill ups

Last week I noticed the tips of the leaves were burned, so this week was mostly ph’d water and enzymes. I fed a mild fertilizer called Roots Organic HPK which is 0-4-3. It is made of guano and langbeinite. Everything else is the same as last week.

Week #18 Gelato-K By Kannabia Week #18 Mar 8th-15th Week #7 Flower This week she is packing on weight buds a swelling trichomes are still mostly clear. Thank you for stopping by!! Stay Growing!!

A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. This week was very relaxing, i add only PH+ (again ;), Calmag and PowerZyme. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now cannabis smell is overpowering in my grow room I can finally write something about Spider Farmers 6-Inch Inline Fan with Smart Controller and Carbon Filter :) As my grow room gets really stinky at times i always invest in a top shelf carbon filter almost twice the size of the one provided by Spider Farmer, to my shock Spider Farmer carbon filter absorbs the smells wonderfully well. No smell leaks and that just when the fan is running at 5 out of 10 levels of output. The smart controller is something completely new to me, and had a lot of fun experimenting with it during the veg and early flower, when the smell began i needed it to run full time at level 4 or 5 to rid the fragnance. All in all the whole combo is a great deal. If you are not as keen on technology the set without the controller is awesome on it's own. But to have some extra options open, the controller at the device throws at you a ton of settings you can use to optemiase you grow enviornment. The SE 7000 is hanged at 28 cm. over the canopy and runs at 550W. This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer. You can easily obtain all the great grow equipment we use at: spider-farmer.com A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting me with the newest technological advancements in horticulture. Thanks to them what i do here is possible. Thank you SeedsMafia for giving me the opportunity to try out your stock. seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html Plagron did send us their Contest package for the Power Buds competition . Thank you for your visit, please leave a like and hope to see you beck here in about a week.

Flush week

First week of flower lots of notes to come stay tuned !!! So first week of flower notes will have to make up for my lack of content . I was on the covid train so I was pretty sick this week ( no excuse but it is what it is ) Minimal stretching so far this week she did very well with plucking and taking a majority of leaves off with great ease !!! Big fan leaves strong structure it's gonna make for so massive spudz down the road !! They are now in the Autopot system so I'm excited to see how that works out !!!!

Day 57 Day 7 Flower 28/06/24 Friday Feed today pH 6.0 -5L No run off. Day 59 Day 9 Flower 30/06/24 Sunday Water + calmag today pH 6.0 - 3L Noticed her starting to throw her pistils out now 😍 . Day 60 Day 10 Flower 01/06/24 Monday Water only today 3L Picture update. I'll get better ones once I can take her out later 🙌💚 Day 61 Day 11 Flower 02/07/24 Tuesday Feed today Full 5L pH 6.0 Run off 5-10%. Looking droopy again today, noticed she was quite dry this time, so fed a large amount and will check again in 12 hours the moisture levels. She' seems to be getting super thirsty 🤯. Bud sites now forming. A nice berry/wood aroma ATM. Picture update 😍 Day 63 Day 13 Flower 04/07/24 Thursday (end of week) Water today with DynoMoCo 1tbsp- 5L. Gave 3L Will update more photos and videos next week during flush 🙌💚 Terrible pictures this week, I haven't had much free time, next week I'll do a photo shoot of her 😍👌

Raised up the nutrient level . Dealing with colder temps at the moment.Added a 75w cfl to keep temps up. Noticed the lower leaves are starting to lighten up. I fed them and will watch to see if they bounce back. I will up pot during this week for sure.The young ones looked very sad the last couple of days so I up potted. Once the transplant shock is over for them I will lower my ph from 6 to 5.5. and see if that helps with the yellowing of the leaf edges. I have been watering once a day with the nutes at 5.5 ph after transplant. I ordered a humidifier so I can keep that under better control as it stays way to low for my liking at the moment. The plants look happier 2 days after transplant. I do see signs of some deficiency on older growth.

Planing to move in dwc under fluence light food by Front Row Ag. Let's see how she does.

Great finish to a fantastic run with this cultivar! terps were citrusy gas and sweet earthy. the smoke is thick and smooth with a earthy sweet and a little gas flavor. very nice. made some gassy smelling dry ice sift hashish. Never throw away your trim!!! it's the ultimate bonus to any harvest. this was a combined White Truffle and Trop Cherry Gas hashish. Finished up with 12 ounces of flower and 36 gr hashish

Day 65 : officially 1st day of flush . Changed the reservoir with fresh water and 1.2g/5 gallons of Yucca extract and 5ml/gallon of Cleanex from Botanicare . Day 68- I did some defoliate. Few more days until harvest.
