Week 2 begins, not much to report other than the pro-mix HP hasn't dried out enough to warrant another feeding.

Week 3F begins. Raised the light a bit, will see if it makes a difference with the leaves. Bud sites are popping and looking good for their small size. Thanks for stopping by.

Week 5 begins with a feed and defoliation. This lady looks happy under the FC3000 light, initial impression of this light is that it's good, better than the TSW2000. Thanks for stopping by growfessors

Week 7 begins. Removed a bunch of dying leaves. This lady has struggled with what looks like light stress. Buds have not developed as much as I would like. Hopefully she finishes strong, two more weeks of feeding to go.

Week 8 begins. Mango Merengue has struggled, buds are small and frost is minimal. I continue to be impressed by this light even though this plant has struggled.

Week 9, final feed and removed the dead and dying leaves. Buds are finally getting dense, frosty and sticky. The end is nearing and I'm excited to see the final results. Thanks for stopping by growfessors.

Flushing time for Mango merengue. The end is near, harvest in 5-6 days, woo-hoo! 👽💚🌲 I'm not very impressed with this plant and how it grew under the Mars-Hydro FC3000. This strain struggled a lot, yet still managed to produce some frosty buds.

Week 10. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Harvest time! This plant struggled throughout this grow and I believe it was due to light stress from the FC3000 light being to close to the plant. The buds are smaller than expected but they are covered in trichomes and she's super sticky. Will update in 7 days with dry weight and smoke report. Update - 37 grams dry. Not great buds, small and fluffy, but very sticky. Slight citrus taste. I'll probably wash this bud in my bubble hash making process.

Harvest time for this lady. She struggled the entire grow, mostly due to light stress I believe. Still with stunted growth, the buds are covered in trichomes and they are very sticky. Will update in 7 days with dry weight and smoke report.

@ILoVeThiSpLaNt, I believe what you see here is a combination of light burn/light stress and nutrient burn. Light burn/stress makes it harder to identify nutrient issues.

Hello fellow Gardener! Those leds are really awesome and strong lights... But they seems to be a bit too low near the canopy, they are causing some bleaching on leaves, you should higher up or dimmed those just until leaves regain some greener colours or else you will badly stunt the flowering processes. Leds are not like hps, they give us the false impression that they can be set very close to canopy, but in reality they are as much powerful! Especially when vegging in general with too powerful leds too close will bleach leaves, and the shiny coating will be gone! The chlorophyll production bleached, zapped badly... It is tricky to adjust leds depending on strain for max setting and production I still having issues too... But it is Important to reduce light intensity until chlorophyll production is returned, you can visually see it... Anyway i wish you good luck and a merry harvest! Lovely strain this meringue! 😍🤞
