Flowering day 22 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) Another great week that is over. They all develop exactly as it should be 💚. Since the last leaf and substrate application against tripse, I finally haven't seen any of the little biters 👍. Watering was done twice this week with 1.3 l each time (see table above for nutrients). The lowest shoots were removed so that the energy is not wasted in the lower part :-) . Otherwise, as always, everything was cleaned and checked. Fresh osmosis water was filled with stale tap water in a 100 L tank for the coming week 👍. Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : Clearwater Seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

So far another one of Fastbuds finest growing perfect not having any problems or issues. Sorry haven't updated lately guys been super busy with work and hadn't got a chance but I'm back at it and will be so stay tuned. This girl I had to switch over to 12/12 (cause I'm growing her in a tent with photoperiods that needed to switch) gonna see how she does with the shorter days but so far she seems to be responding well to it(next run will be all autos with 20/4 so as to compare this strains performance with the different lighting schedules).

Die Blüten werden schön schwer und bunt. Das Wetter stellt sie auf die Probe und fordert Opfer.

3 more weeks to go.

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.

Agora sim uma floração robusta de botões por todo o caule , de acordo com o fenótipos esperado da Tropicana acho que esta começando inclusive a pegar umas cores.

This lady tends to stay small, but the she has quite a explosive veg time. She will not grow tall but she will produce many side branches that will continue side branches. There for the plants can be very leafy, and will produce unnecessary shadow that will block the canopy. Due to blocking of the canopy after the 5 first CM high chance useless pop corn bud will develop. So with this strain it is very important to train her wel and make sure the light can penetrate the lower branches aswel, if you want to have enjoyable sweet dense buds all of the plant and branches. Have a good grow!

This is more of an equipment gathering project-first grow so I want to keep it simple and budget friendly, I ordered autos for my first grow but Oregon Elite Seeds sent a free gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds. Super psyched for my first grow! Day1. Soaked seeds for 4 hours in bottled water, used paper towel method with 100% sprouts within 18 hours inside dark tent at 80 degrees (heater and air purifier) and 40% humidity. Hoping to plant directly into prepared soil (6.9 ph currently) in 24 hours. Day 2. Planted Critical OG Kush and Blackberry Autos 1/4 directly into 8 gallon cloth pots (these are the wrong pots-they are wax lined but the pandemic made getting the aeration pots unavailable-I may have to transfer later). Very lightly watered. i prepared my soil mix and had it acclamated to the grow room. I opened the air vents at each end of the grow room and set heat to 78, placed a bowl of water for humidity and started oscillating fan for airflow. Planted Gorilla Girl in a tupperware dish till i can get something more suitable. I really need another light but shipping just isn't working out. Day 4: 1 OG Critical was culled do to lack of progress. Gorilla Girl hs been repotted and looks fine. The Blackberry are much leggier than the others at this point. I'm watering just enough to get to the roots with bottled spring water. Day5 : the girls just woke up-posted pics. 1 light and 6 plants is not ideal. I'm not sure if I should put the strain that is naturally shorter under the light directly or focus on the tall ones getting enough light to not stretch. Comments appreciated. Day 6: Ligthts off after a 20 hour on cycle. I was concerned that my light insn't adequate spacially. I dropped it down to 15 inches above the seedling and got it tropical in the tent. I also used a 6500k 15 watt shop light for added light color and they enjoyed it, except for 1 had a bit of yellow. I will post photos when they wake up to see how they look after this light/heat/water boost for 20 hours. My Gorilla Girl is the only one that isn't above 2 inches. That one was planted deeper (1 inch instead of1/4th like the others. I did have some "seed helmets" so next time I will go a little over 1/4 inch deep. Qweeby's roots grew like a wad instead of down. I've had to readjust her placement twice because the roots act like they want to be on the surface. I'm excited to see them in 4 hours. I may cull one and start a different seed. The Blackberry Kush is stretchy which seems nice for a new grower like me. I am trying to limit the stretch so they match the Critical OG height but they are hearty toddlers. Day 7: Added a 3000w LED off ebay. I didn't account for the rise in heat but it only got up to 84. Raised it from 18" to 20" and got more air flowing through. One plant has a little yellowing from the inside of the main leaves (inside to out) but it's barely there so I'm going to check PH meter and easy watering since yesterday I did water more then I have thus far-so it could be a little root lock from too much water.

Hi guys, as you can see I did two small defoliation. Today (day 34) I transplanted the plants into 7 liter pots. They come up very well.

Week 26 11.10.2024

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 27/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale). 01/01/2020 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,25ml of Grow, 0,75ml Bloom and 0.5ml Max, and 2ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, mesured about 280PPM (500 scale).

Tag 54: Trotz heller Blätter sehen die Blüten ganz gut aus, und entwickeln langsam Geruch.

Week 6 flower and the girls seem to have recovered from last week’s neglect and light intensity, but I’m sure the end result will be affected. The leaves also got a bit beat up. Watered in the final top dressing and did another round of selective defoliation. Moved the tops around a bit to open up the lower bud sites.

Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP... I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. ☮️ Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 😲. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't. My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping 🤣 Process/ Environment changes since last week: - To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F). - I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range - I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat. - I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible - My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants - I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE. The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more. The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered ☮️ Thank you Fastbuds

4 meses en crecimiento, sigo aumentando las dosis de fertilizantes ya que la planta en este punto demanda mucho fertilizante, es un poco mas complicado de domar. Ya no tiene tanto ese color amarillo en las puntitas, quedo resuelto la carencia del nitrógeno.

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! 21-day defoliation has come.. These pictures were taken on day 20 of flower. So these ladies can get quite bushy with those big indica fan leaves. So a much need defoliation was done. I'm loving the CC2 structure but not so much CC1 & CC3, training with those two got out of hand, had to make so weird ass bends! Distribution is all off with CC1 & 3.. I'll se what I can do moving the colas around to even out the light penetration. The split on both look pretty dope tho and CC3 has that little half loop. I'm thinking about trying a canna bonsai next spring with an autoflower jus because of that half loop. 😂 That sweet sweet cream caramel aroma is getting more and more noticeable. 😍 😍 Trichomes are coming in nicely as well. Pretty happy with the results as always with this strain. Height is different on all three so 77cm is an estimate between the three.. I'm sure buds with start filling in this week after the defoliation done. Only going to be watering with bloom nutrients for the next two weeks then I'll start adding an organic PK booster to the mix. Have a great day! One love!

Day 1 ....mostly LST to straighten the mains stems...I normally miss this tight window.. it reduces the risk of the stems breaking later.. Will top again this week. End up with 4 main nodes.
