Mango Juice en DWC 40x40

LeCuack 19/06/21 It has grown quite a bit since it germinated. 2 pairs of leaves already. It was placed with the clay pebbles and set up in the DWC. The pebbles are moistened with water from the tank because the roots still don't touch the water. The bubbler is on to moisten from below even though there are no roots yet.

LeCuack Roots are growing very fast, a new pair of leaves is emerging. Forecast that two months of vegetation will be enough. There will be no more top watering.

LeCuack 24 days. Last week I found signs of root rot. I cut off the infected roots, used hydrogen peroxide in the tank, and then completely changed the water. I also cut off the two lowest yellowing leaves. It has recovered and there are no signs of root rot.

LeCuack 31 days. I applied pruning for the main lining technique two days ago. It's responding well. Also, I added products for the roots, since I saw that other Mango Juice grows have slow root growth.

LeCuack 38 days. No fertilizer was added this week since the EC went up, meaning it consumed more water than nutrients. One of the branches left from the main-lining pruning was cut (I was too rough when bending it), it will branch out again with more pruning.

LeCuack I broke a branch again. Main lining isn't my thing, I'll do a simple scrog with several apical prunings and defoliation. Other than that, the plant is doing very well, with very big and long roots. Gradually increasing the EC.

LeCuack I did an apical cut on the two existing shoots, now there are 4 main nodes. I raised the light a bit because some leaves got burned (too much LED light power haha) but nothing serious. It's growing really big and fast. I might give it another two or three weeks of vegetative. I raised the EC to 0.755 but it dropped, which is good because it takes in more nutrients than water, meaning I can raise the EC a bit more.

LeCuack Color change, turning yellow. I don't know the reason, the pH and EC are fine, I thought it was the light and I raised it. The roots are fine too.

LeCuack It's recovering from the previous nutrient deficiency, my EC was a bit low. Soon it will be defoliated and moved to flowering. It has 8 main nodes, each with its own buds.

LeCuack first week of flowering, growth is still normal. It occupies a large part of the scrog net.

LeCuack Everything is going well. I'm developing pistils in no time.

LeCuack —

LeCuack There are more pistils, I think it has stopped growing due to the flowering stretch. There’s still no characteristic smell of the strain, just plant smell.

LeCuack flowering is proceeding normally. There's still no strong smell. Some lower leaves are dry, normal in flowering

LeCuack Everything is good so far. I hope for more bud growth in the next two weeks.

LeCuack The buds are starting to look fatter. This week I only used half the nutrients to maintain the EC. This variety has a flowering period of 9 to 10 weeks. That would be another 2 to 4 weeks. I think they will fatten up for at least another two weeks. Some leaves have black-brown edges, but it hasn't progressed significantly. It might be a bit of light excess; I don't think it's nutrients, but anyway, I will change the reservoir next week, that should prevent any excess.

LeCuack I'm evaluating whether to cut the main buds or not, they already look quite mature. The smell is more potent, like forest, earthy, it doesn't smell like mango yet (that will probably happen when they cure). Normal yellowing of leaves at the end of flowering.

LeCuack I didn't add any more nutrients this week. Just some water to lower the EC. I cut some main buds to let the lower ones mature, I'll cut the rest in about 5-7 more days.

LeCuack Finally, week 10 of flowering, it's almost time to harvest. Very resilient plant, dense and hard buds.

LeCuack Easy to grow. Strong tips and many dense secondary buds as well. Dense buds overall.
