Hi@all, it is the end of the fifth week, I started some low-stress training to bend the lower branches towards the light. It worked really well. Three days ago, I topped the "head". I hope she's recovering from it in the next days/week. So far, everything seems to be going well and it’s really enjoyable. 😎🌿 My only concern is the 40x40 cm tent – I think it might be a bit tight in there... Greetings ✌️

Still flushing to get ph back, nothing added to water this week. Buds are packing on weight and the smell is getting very sweet. Also, had to add in another support net for the extra weight these girls could start making.

The harvest took 5 hours and is really good. I am drying in racks then in the curing bucket for about a month or so then in the freezer.

June 22: nice weather has finally arrived, and the plant is at the perfect growth stage to take advantage of warm 17 hours of sunlight days. She’s started into the “inch per day” vegetative growth stage which is always fun. She had compost tea yesterday morning and is looking really good right now. Cool spring has likely slowed growth but she’s ready to rock now with the arrival of nice weather. June 22: tied down with SCROG net attached to bag with large clips. Trying to keep the Eight growth tips at the same elevation and exposed to sun. June 24: tie down seems to have worked as there’s now 8 nice colas forming and lots of time to go for 16 before starting flowering in mid-July. June 25: looking good. Watered with some soluble seaweed extract and molasses. June 26: final round of topping to get 16 growth tips. Removed and replaced scrog net but still clipped to edge of bag. Seems fine for now and will readjust as the 16 colas form.

The ladies bud growth is starting to take off! Got Some nute burn but honestly they’ve still been growing just fine. Candyland is undoubtedly the mother of all three! She is budding so beautifully! The smell is starting to get stronger and stronger everyday. cant wait to see these beauties ripe! Until next time Happy growing!

Harvest day!!! Got her chopped and hung last night right on time at day 70. Her buds turned out nice and dense, smell amazing and heavy af. This was a wonderful grow! Managed to pull a good few seeds from the branch i pollenated with zkittles pollen (red tie in vid). There are more still in the bud too! I am looking forward to popping them down the line. I will update the harvest week with the hard numbers when she is dry. Happy growing all!!!

This was my 1st week with my new 2x2. The brand new elufah uap-1500. This light has a much better spec than my spider farmer light did. One of the plants took a little bit of stress from the spec changing but they are bouncing back. By the end of the week I should be ramping the light back up. They are some fastbuds plants so I’m sure they will love extra light.

Mango Kush – Week 4 Flower (Week 8 from Seed) The bulking begins: pistils, stacking, and balanced nutrition Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors (The ThinkRoulette ecosystem) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Bulking Mode Activated Week 4 is an important checkpoint in any bloom cycle. The Mango Kush sisters are no longer just “in flower”, they are now building flowers. Pistils are everywhere, thick and vibrant, forming the foundation for what will become dense, resin-packed buds. Both phenos are looking strong: • Pheno #1 – More advanced, pistil clusters stacking into early budlets, filling her frame with confidence. • Pheno #2 – A little behind, but catching up fast. She may have taken longer to flip (since she germinated later), but she’s now pushing out strong, healthy white hairs that signal the start of her bulking stage. This week’s studio and improvised studio photos capture this perfectly—the transition from “flower set” to flower building. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Simplifying for Strength This week, we made an important nutritional adjustment: • Removed: Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Aptus Top Booster • Kept: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why this change? At this stage, the super soil’s NPK balance (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) is already strong enough to sustain healthy growth and flower formation. Adding the All-in-One Liquid or Top Booster would risk redundancy, too much nutrient overlap can actually slow the plant down, cause salt build-up, or push her into unnecessary stress. By keeping only the boosters and biostimulants, we are: • Supporting flower stacking and density (Power Buds). • Enhancing terpene and resin production (Sugar Royal). • Adding a multi-function bloom enhancer (Green Sensation, famous for its late-flower results). • Maintaining structure, transport, and stress resistance (Regulator). • Keeping calcium and magnesium in check (CalMag Boost). 🌱 Educational takeaway: Week 4 is about controlled nutrition, not force-feeding. Too much input can overwhelm plants; the art is in balancing what the soil already provides with just enough supplements to guide the plant’s energy toward flowers. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Stability Matters The Mango Kush girls continue to thrive under the TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS ecosystem, giving live readings of: • Soil moisture (watering when ~19–20%) • EC levels (tracking buildup) • Temperature & RH (still peaking high at times, but stable airflow keeps the canopy safe) The ThinkRoulette ecosystem (TrolMaster + lighting synergy) has been running flawlessly, creating a stable and responsive environment. This consistency is what allows the girls to focus their energy on bulking rather than on fighting stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Canopy in Harmony The four-light setup continues to shine as a perfectly balanced orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Deep canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300s – Mid-canopy energy, no sites left behind. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Spectrum balance. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Evening out the footprint. Result: The canopy is even, pistils are popping from top to bottom, and no part of the plant is left in the dark. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Check-In – Mango Kush in Mid-Flower Mango Kush (Mango × Hindu Kush) is famous for her fruity-sweet aroma with earthy Kush undertones. Week 4 is where the genetic potential starts to show: • Bud structure is beginning to define itself—rounded calyx clusters forming the early shape. • Aroma is still light, but brushing against the plants gives faint hints of fruit and spice. • Phenotypic difference: Pheno #1 is flowering earlier and faster, while Pheno #2 lags a week behind. This may result in staggered harvest windows, giving two slightly different expressions of the same strain. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ What to Expect in Week 4–5: • Noticeable bud bulking. • Rapid calyx development, pistil clusters getting denser. • First trichomes appearing under macro view. • Water demand increasing steadily. • Early terpene hints becoming stronger week by week. ❌ What Not to Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (that comes around Week 5–6). • Major resin frosting (Week 5 onward). • Final bud density or color changes (those happen in later bloom). Educational takeaway: Patience is key. Week 4 is about building structure. The “icing” (frost, density, aroma explosion) comes later. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – The Journey • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretched tall, Pheno #2 filled out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12 → stretch begins. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Bloom boosters introduced, lights upgraded. • Week 7 (Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, pistils everywhere, irrigation system added. • Week 8 (Now, Flower Week 4): Bulking stage, pistils thick and abundant, nutrition simplified, environment stable. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the community—thank you for following along, for sharing knowledge, and for keeping the love of cultivation alive. These reports are more than just grow logs, they are learning tools, and together we’re documenting the journey of two Mango Kush sisters from seed to flower. And to the gear, the TrolMaster, the ThinkRoulette ecosystem, and the full lighting orchestra, you make this possible. Technology doesn’t grow the plant, but it empowers the grower to let the plant reach her full potential. ⸻ 📸 This week’s highlight: Studio and improvised studio shots capturing the moment where flower set becomes flower build. ✨ In short: Week 4 Flower is the week of foundations. The pistils are thick, the flowers are forming, and the stage is set for resin and density in the weeks to come. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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. – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2 A quick note on the sisters’ timelines: • Pheno #1 remains ahead—already deep in flower, stacking pistils fast and showing more advanced bud formation. • Pheno #2, while it started later, is catching up beautifully. Her pistils are now bursting and forming thick clusters, but she still sits a bit behind her sister. This difference is natural: Pheno #2 germinated later and is effectively running on a slightly younger internal clock. The 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 hours off) means she is easing into flower at her own rhythm. 👉 What this means: Both plants are thriving, but don’t expect them to bulk or finish at the same exact time. This staggered development could actually be a gift—two harvest windows, two terpene expressions, one journey. Educational takeaway: Even seeds from the same strain can flower on different schedules. Rather than forcing uniformity, let each phenotype tell its story. Patience reveals the full genetic spectrum. 🌿 Grower’s Note “This week felt like the real beginning of bloom. The room is alive—white hairs, bulking pistils, and that early whisper of aroma that promises so much more to come. Pheno #1 leads the charge, Pheno #2 follows on her own time, and together they remind me that growing is not about control, but about partnership. The plants teach us patience, and in return, we give them care.”

GANJA THERE EVERYWHERE. STEAM. SOME LEAVES(heavy you can see there where she eats aphids. NO JOKE.(@sugarleaves) First trichomes surrounded it. Than one day later you see them stuck in some trichoms. Than Abracadabra NO JOKE after a few days and nights only some darker trichomes left there. By the time they go brighter again as the others, but bigger). Sticky smell girl. Mjam HALLEJUULIA 13 FINGERS A LEAF! Ganjaloveriamtobringsomedelicious GELATO41FASTfromSEEDSTOCKERStomyworld. Im satisfied :) Day 54 of flower. Anything going well. Did a little pre chop. 3 buds like( with milky trichoms) because of room problems. They hang dark inside the tent. And switched my blue light off. Now only white and red. For faster ripening 20.09.,growing growing growing. 21.09 trichomes re ready. Milky most but ready. 8 weeks of flower, and they're ready. GOOD WORK SEEDSTOCKERS But i will give her1or 2 more weeks. Because this strain is so OUTSTANDING.. She DESERVES a little more time because of some inaccuracies from me...................... And i really want this indica Punch. For this is better to become some amber trichoms... And weight.. 😛 💪 DAY 58 OF FLOWER. She is ok. Ripening. But the aphids. NOW ITS TIME TO GO TO WAR ☣️ ☣️ BIO LOGICAL WEAPON ☣️ ☣️ BASIL WATER B weapon for aphids. Day 59 of flowwring: in progres. And found the first trichoms going amber.!!!!!!! YES.!!!!! Day 61.

So entering week 7 after a suspiciously long week 6. Well I guess I am synced now. This week is already the second time I applied the Phosphor Boost that comes with my 5 in 1 fert. The growth is magnificent. After week 6 started somewhat troublesome because them plants were still on recovery they quickly filled out the entire scrog net in its width and are scratching full height as well. I’m very satisfied with my training results although I’m still defoliating too much and sometimes the wrong leaves. Need to focus on keeping more strong leaves and picking out the useless ones better. The Phosphor Boost btw is 3 grams per plant per week, spilled evenly over the soil.

13.11.24 BT# 18 Servus Leute ✌️🙂 Die Strawberry Cola Sherbet macht sich gut habe sie heute mal wieder ein bißchen entlaubt und etwas Lollipoping angewendet somit ist unter rum was die Luft Zirkulation angeht alles Tipi topi. Sie hat gestern PH angeglichenes Wasser bekommen , beim nächsten Mal gibt es wieder was mit Zusätze 🙂. Aber so bin ich ganz zufrieden mit der Gentik von Sweetseeds was heut zu Tage sehr schwer ist da es so viele angeglich gute Breeder gibt. Aber dem ist definitiv nicht so deswegen lege ich euch Sweetseeds zu Herzen da seit ihr definitiv gut aufgehoben. Bleibt alle fit und Gesund habt ein schönen Tag and Stay High ✌️👌 Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🍀😋 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 13.11.24 BT# 18 Hi guys ✌️🙂 The Strawberry Cola Sherbet is doing well, I defoliated it a bit today and applied some lollipopping so everything is tipi topi underneath as far as air circulation is concerned. Yesterday she got PH adjusted water, next time there will be something with additives 🙂. But I'm quite happy with the genetics of Sweetseeds, which is very difficult these days as there are so many apparently good breeders. But that's definitely not the case, so I recommend Sweetseeds to you, you're definitely in good hands. Stay fit and healthy, have a great day and stay high ✌️👌 May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 🍀😋.

Bewässerung: 500 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Fünften Woche pH-Wert: 6 EC-Wert: 1,8 mS/cm Temperatur: 26ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 55% Schädlingsbekämpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekämpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :), aber zur Sicherheit haben wir wieder ein paar Raubmilben an die Pflanzen gehenkt. PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s DLI: 38 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Sie bekommt CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention. Ab Tag 8 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Mineralischen NPK Dünger (NPK 10-4-7) zu Gießen . Besonderheiten: Sie ist nun seit einer Woche im Großen Zelt und macht sich ganz gut. -Tag 33 Heute haben wir sie Stark entlaubt und wieder nach unten gebunden. sie haben eine Portion Dünger bekommen und wird in den nächsten tagen weiter Trainiert. -Tagg 35 Heute wieder Entlaubt und Gegossen mit Dünger, Sie wächst sehr schnell und erholt sich rasch vom entlauben. Sie wurde heute auch in einen der Größeren Töpfe umgepflanzt und muss sich nun ein paar Tage erholen.
