I cut Banana Mash Autoflower down today. She got super frosty under the Viparspectra P4000. Was a good grow with a crazy frosty finish. Amazing smell as well. Can't wait to try it. It won't let me upload the video. Says error as usual. Short videos it goes through. Will add the link below. Waiting for it to dry now. Thank you Viparspectra, and Exotic Seeds. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Happy growing🌱🌱🌱🍻 Harvest video link: https://youtu.be/fdDfais2ViA

06/10/2024 Roots roots Rootz!!!! Had to take out a few that weren't moving along!!! 06/14/2024 They going in lfg!!!!

What a happy girl! Have added no nutes yet and letting the soil do the work for now (NFTG4+extra perlite). I have done a second dosing of malted barley that was hand ground and dusted before watering. Seems to enjoy the soil and light so far. Wish I could get temps up reliably but the electric heater had temp swings that were going to cause issues, so she's gonna live in the 68-72 day time and 64 nighttime for now Also! Wanted to include a short video of her dancing in the wind😊

Good week, no issues popping up. Just watered when needed. WCC she is packing on weight, with buds stacked on buds and smells amazing. C4 Very strong girl, nothing has fazed her from the beginning. Beautiful purple plant and the smell is floral. And packing some nice looking buds. Gelato Pretty much the same as C4, very strong, looking amazing and the smell is delicious. Bud sites aplenty. SBP Small bud sites are developing with a few white hairs. More just growing her on as a little experiment really she how she turns out. Not expecting much, but we'll see

Flush with 12L of water PH 6.4 to each plants. Then, wait 15min and add 6L to each plants. Purple color have been started to show!

Plugging along. Nothing but kelp and water.

Début de la 8eme semaines de floraison 😁 elle boit de l'eau depuis 6 jours je pense coupé dans la semaine 😍😍 J'ai hâte !!!

Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North Part 3 — Smoke Review & Final Thoughts And here we are. The final chapter of this frozen journey. Before we begin, we once again want to thank everyone that followed this run from seed to harvest. We know these reports became long, divided into multiple parts across several weeks, but honestly, this is the only way we know how to properly document a cultivation journey while keeping things educational, transparent, emotional, and real. Because growing does not end at harvest. Drying matters. Trimming matters. Curing matters. Storage matters. And finally… the smoke itself matters. So before talking about the final medicine, let’s make a quick resume of how we got here. ⸻ This entire run was grown 12/12 directly from seed. Minimal intervention. Minimal stress. Almost no training at all besides occasional leaf bending and small adjustments to help light penetration naturally. The plants grew directly into the PPFD we provided, shaping themselves beautifully under the environment instead of being forced aggressively into unnatural structures. And honestly… this style of cultivation continues to impress us more and more every single run. Compact plants. Dense flowers. Massive trichome production. Efficient morphology. Beautiful natural structure. We combined both organic and mineral approaches using Plagron nutrients throughout the cycle, allowing the plants to feed aggressively while still maintaining beautiful terpene development and overall flower quality. The girls finished strong. We harvested during lights-off. We dried them whole-plant style for 10 full days at around 18–20°C and roughly 60% humidity. Then came trimming. Then curing. Then preservation. And now… Around two months later… We finally sit down in the frozen north to truly experience what these girls became. ⸻ And honestly? This medicine is beautiful. Animal Mints might carry “Mint” in the name, but in this particular run, none of the phenotypes expressed any noticeable mint profile at all. And that is completely okay. Because what these girls delivered instead was absolutely outstanding. The dominant profile is unmistakably: Pine. Diesel. Strong earthy-herbal tones. But there is also something else happening underneath it all. A strange sweetness. Not candy sweet. Not fruity sweet. Not sugary sweet. It is almost impossible to explain properly. It sits underneath the pine and diesel like a soft background note that lingers quietly behind the heavier aromas. The more time passes during curing, the more this strange sweetness starts appearing between the earthy layers. And honestly, this is exactly why we love curing so much. The plant evolves. ⸻ On inhale, the smoke immediately hits with a strong pine-diesel combination. Dense. Heavy. Rich. The earthy-herbal profile follows immediately afterward, coating the entire mouth and throat with thick lingering flavor that stays there for a very long time after exhaling. And then comes that strange sweetness again. Not fully identifiable. But present. Like the memory of sweetness rather than sweetness itself. The smoke itself is incredibly smooth despite being extremely dense. Heavy clouds. Rich texture. Oily feeling smoke. You can feel the resin content immediately. ⸻ Now let’s talk effects. Because this is where these girls truly define themselves. This is not daytime productivity medicine. Not at all. Could you enjoy it during the afternoon by a lake, pool, beach, or somewhere peaceful? Absolutely. But if you have responsibilities, work, errands, or tasks that require active focus and productivity… This is probably not the medicine you reach for. Because Animal Mints pulls you deeply into relaxation. Body and mind equally. This is not purely physical sedation. And it is not purely cerebral either. It hits both directions simultaneously. Heavy relaxation. Mental slowdown. Comfort. Warmth. Stillness. The type of medicine that makes you melt slowly into your chair while conversations become softer and time starts moving differently. Perfect for: * late afternoons * evenings * nighttime sessions * movies * deep conversations * music * relaxing environments * disconnecting from stress This is beautiful end-of-the-day medicine. And honestly… it performs that role exceptionally well. ⸻ Of course, the classic dry mouth is absolutely present. But honestly, that comes naturally with many powerful resin-heavy cultivars. Hydration becomes part of the ritual itself. And for people uncomfortable with those stronger medicinal effects, this simply may not be the right type of medicine for them. But for anxiety, stress, depression, mental exhaustion, and emotional decompression… These girls genuinely shine. ⸻ Now let’s talk final numbers. Plant A gave us: 127g Plant B gave us: 247.8g Plant C gave us: 287.9g For a final total of: 662.7 grams 127 + 247.8 + 287.9 = 662.7 And honestly… this is an outstanding result for dense, heavily resinous 12/12-from-seed plants grown with this style. Especially because the quality remained consistent across all three plants. Some flowers became slightly denser than others after drying. Some phenotypes stacked a little differently structurally. But terpene-wise? Practically identical. We stored them separately. We cured them separately. We tested them separately. And honestly, in a blind test, we genuinely do not think we could confidently tell Plant A from Plant B or Plant C. That level of terpene consistency between phenotypes is incredibly impressive. ⸻ We also want to mention how beautiful this entire project felt visually and emotionally. From the frozen harvest aesthetics… to the hanging plants… to the trimming sessions with Mr. Baggy beside us… to the cinematic frozen north imagery… everything about this run felt like a complete universe of its own. Even sitting later in the frozen north enjoying this medicine while looking over the endless ice and mountains… That image perfectly captured the feeling of this journey. Cold world. Warm medicine. Legends of the Frozen North. ⸻ Massive thanks to Zamnesia for the genetics. Massive thanks to Plagron for the nutrients and support throughout the run. Because genetics create potential, but nutrition, environment, and cultivation practices shape how that potential finally expresses itself. Huge thanks to GrowDiaries. Huge thanks to the community. The followers. The longtime supporters. The silent readers. The lovers. The skeptics. The haters. The growers sharing knowledge every day. All of you are part of these journeys too. And even though this chapter now closes… The story continues. New genetics. New runs. New experiments. New legends. The frozen north never truly sleeps. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

I grew 3 plants 2 grew well but stalled due to water and lighting at back of a cold tent once this was sorted all grew within there height range which is small and compact with my 6.5 liter pot range 8n biobizz all mix with mycorrhizal added. This is my first ever grow and the genetics wowed me i took a lot of info in about autoflowering plants and the 2 main things that run true are pot size and reduce feed as autoFlowering plants need less due to restricted height although I saw amazing growth in 3rd -6 weeks this if you dial in could increase your yields. The plants had a mild floral berry smell during early stages and kept this smell allways through. Once in bloom they grew vigours and buds oozed resin . There colour are truly amazing I have 2 dark plants that changed colours! And 1 tall lilac plant that too on its amazing colour during late Flowering planted in cold weather these came through sweet looking. Final weight on last plant #2 dry buds in sugar leaf I leave on is 12.6 grams there still 2 lower branches I've tried to seed with her hermI pollen

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur fünften Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Wir nähern uns mit großen Schritten der eigentlich interessanten Phase meines Gartenprojekts. Jetzt mag der ein oder andere sagen, dass die Pflanze im Vergleich zur letzten Woche kaum Fortschritte gemacht hat, und evtl. habt ihr recht. Allerdings möchte ich zu meiner Verteidigung sagen, dass das Setup so für mich sehr neu gewesen ist und ich zwar indoor „gelernt“ habe, ich jedoch die letzten Grows fast vollständig outdoor kultiviert hatte (seitdem es legal ist, selbstverständlich ;)). Außerdem sehe ich die letzten Wochen noch als Anzuchtphase, also alles halb so wild :). Aber genug der Ausreden :), was stand diese Woche an? Da sich der „Auswilderungszeitpunkt“ jetzt wetterbedingt doch noch um eine Woche verschiebt und die kleinen Substrat und Topf geschuldet den ersten Mangel aufweisen, habe ich den kleinen mal ihre erste richtige Düngung verabreicht (Greenhouse-Powderfeeding 1 g/L). Eigentlich sollten sie schon rausgesetzt werden, allerdings traue ich diesem ganzen Warm-/Kalt-Mumpitz nicht.  Da gönne ich den Damen lieber noch eine Woche in ihren künstlich beleuchteten vier Wänden. Ebenso musste ich die Pflanzen untenrum etwas ausdünnen, da die älteren Blätter leider mangelbedingt irreversibel geschädigt waren. Der Tee wird für ca. 24 Stunden mittels einer Aquarienpumpe in Kombination mit Sprudelsteinen belüftet. Je nach Dauer der Belüftung enthält das Endprodukt mehr Mikroorganismen (24 h), bei länger gebrauten Tees enthält dieser weniger Mikroorganismen, dafür mehr gelöste Nährstoffe und Enzyme sowie Aminosäuren, welche als Futter für bereits bestehende Mikroorganismen fungieren. Um das beste Ergebnis zu erzielen, müsste ich mein Setup noch mit einem Heizstab ergänzen, welcher die Wassertemperatur konstant zwischen 20 und 23 Grad hält. Für den Tee benötigen wir: Ca. 15 L Wasser   30 g 1 l Regenwurmhumus Eine handelsübliche Aquarienpumpe + Sprudelstein Melasse (fungiert als Nahrung und begünstigt die Vermehrung der Bakterien). Der Wurmhumus steuert die Mikrorganismen sowie Huminsäure bei, welche das Pflanzenwachstum unterstützen. Ich verwende ausschließlich Regenwasser, da es weder Chlorrückstände aufweist noch einen niedrigen EC‑Wert (ca. 0,05) hat. Wo liegen die benefits? Fördern den Gasaustausch der Pflanze, indem sie dafür sorgen, dass sich die Stomata schneller und weiter öffnen (wenn als Blattspray angewandt). – Beimpfen den Boden mit nützlichen Mikroorganismen (Pilze, Bakterien, Protozoen, Nematoden etc.) und sorgen dafür, dass ein Boden-Nahrungsnetzwerk aufgebaut wird, welches die organischen Stoffe im Boden zersetzt und diese für Pflanzen verfügbar macht. Morgen werden die Kleinen dann mit dem Tee gegossen. Alles, was übrig bleibt, benutze ich dann, um die bis dahin hoffentlich fertig gemischte Erde anzugießen, bevor sie eine Woche in den Endtöpfen fermentiert. Aber dazu wie immer im nächsten Bericht mehr. :) Euch wie immer einen schönen Restsonntag Und wir hören uns nächste Woche. Peace.

The end of the fourth week. Only 2,5 to 3 weeks to go, since this is the FAST version of Gelato 33 by Advanced seeds. Last week temps were better, so that was a lot better to manage. The smell is a different story. We are trying to combat it as we speak with a double filter which my friend still had from a previous grow. The ladies are performing, however, because this is a monstercrop with many budsites, none of them will be very big. We anticipate a lot of cutting come harvest time. The stickieness and smell (cookies, dough, herbs, spices, gingerbread, vanilla) promise a lot to make up for that hopefully!! The middle plant that seemed to go fastest, now looks like to have the hardest time flowering. Her more advanced stage of flowering as a bigger clone, made it harder for her to return to veg, which she never really did. This seems to make her want to rush to the finish, as she is already browning the pistils. Also these buds seem more flakey, popcorny. As if the many flowers and grapelike bundled growth was too much for her. I put the light a little closer, to help her fatten up in the time she is given. I never expected the two 'runts' to outperform the mighty middle clone, but hey seem to fatten up and age much more nicely. So for now, prelimenary tip: make sure all your plants are completely revegged before flowering and consider that faster flowering species might have some ruderalis ancestry that might siderail all your lighting intentions and remains in flower what ever the growers lighting schedule. So with at least two more weeks for the two outer plants, and well see how many for the middle one, we are going to make them as comfortable as possible the final push of this flowering. Thank you for following and see you next week!!

Start of Flower Ppfd avg. 700 Soaked pot until saturated. Started my Flower Foliar Spray right before lights out. I will Spray plants once a week for 4 weeks of Flower. Foliar Spray Recipe per 2L as follows: All Advanced Nutrients Products. 4ml Bud Ignitor 4ml Nirvana 4ml Bud Factor X 10ml B-52 Midweek update. Second round of foliar spray. Ladies loved the first round, went with a second. Ill do this twice a week until I'm through week 4 of Flower. Video is right after I sprayed for the 2nd round at 15 mins before lights out. Don't want all the foliar spray burning the ladies now do we.

Buenas compis Terminando tercera semana de flora Las peques , muestran algo ,debo subir las dosificaciones Para darles algo más de alegría Pero por lo demás ..todo genial

ya se ven las flores, riego cada tres días , y corto las hojas que están caídas solo .último día de la semana 9 ya se aprecian las flores

Week 10 total life Week 5 flowering The stretching stopped and the energy is spent on bud formation. Fertilizer. Plagron Boom 5 ml, power bud 1 ml and green sensation 1 ml Stopped the vita race this week. Happy with the way it's building up it's bud density. leafs and flowers are turning purple and the resin production is great......4 weeks to go...can't wait 😶‍🌫️

Woche 9 Sie wird weiter von innen möglichst Blattfrei gehalten um eine gute Durchlüftung zu gewährleisten. Solange gesamte kommt die Blüte richtig in Gang. Tag 58. Ganz schön durstig die Gute. Heute gab's 4l und trotzdem fast kein Drain. Müssen wohl die Wassermenge erhöhen. Tag 61 Wir haben sie nochmal etwas auseinandergezogen. So breit gezogen, braucht sie das Zelt fast für sich allein. Morgen wird sie sich nach oben gestreckt haben, dann passt es wieder.
