Brooklyn Mango - Organic Outdoor - GotRS

The weather got rainy and cold so I had to bring her inside where there wasn’t enough light. All of the ladies started to stretch. To stop it yesterday I moved them under a LED light . I will keep them there until they get stronger, meanwhile I’ll try to take advantage of the Sun as well putting them to the sunny spots of my place. They are in a small pot of Plagron Lightmix prepared following Biotabs instructions.

Last week under the lamp. I have prepared the soil in a container of (300 litres more or less )she is going to share with two other ladies. I have used some KNF inputs to have a propre kick off: OHN - Oriental Herbal Nutrients FPJ Nettle - Fermented Plant Juice FAA - Fish Amino Acids LAB - Lactic Acid Bacteria serum And also added some diatomaceous earth against insects and as a silicium source.

Finally they have been transplanted to their final place : a 120 x 80 flower bed built on a pallet. A new adventure begins… I put 5 g of mycotrex in their potting holes. Put the tabs around them (2 biotabs , 3 guerrilla tabs for each) and watered with orgatrex/bactrex mix and finally applied some Oriental Herbal Nutrient solution on the plants. They look great. Starting this journey indoor with a lamp was a good decision, but from now on the Mighty Sun will take care of them. I wish them a glorious life in the Garden of the Rising Sun. Update - 10.05. Even though she suffered a small shock after meeting the real Sun she is going well.

Another week with clouds and a temperature between 12-21 degrees. So it is perfect to strenghten the plants and prepare them for a tougher Juin. If I need to water I’ll use plain water maybe a foliar FAA mix. BM is the tallest for now. Seems a bit smaller then her sisters, but I think it is due to last weeks Sunburn. Thinking on starting supercropping them … Update 13.05 - Foliar FAA - starting LST i broke one leaf off. Poor girl. Then decided not to LST at all.

Another week of massive growth…hopefully. Brooklyn Mango seems a bit more fragile than the others but she is growing well, showing more sativa traces then the others. Update - 21.05 FIM Update - 22.05 Ladies are growing like crazy. Finally I have decided to do SCROG and I have built a frame for the net (160x140) A week of massive growth: it started from 38 cm and went until 55.I am amazed by how perfect they are. It seems that the OHN is really protecting them: no insect bite on the leaves.

Waiting for how many main lines are growing after FIMing. Scrog is prepared, the net is on. I did the intense orgatrex treatment (20 ml in 0.5 litres of water). She really enjoys scrogging I think. She is starting to show her potential.

I am not gonna be around this week, but there is not much to do. A big rain in the beginning of the week and the tabs in the ground give them everything they need. All the ladies are growing beautifully, they are filling up the net very quickly. The FIM’s result is 5 new heads.

After a week of being away it’s hard to train them. Main lines 10-15 centimeters above the net and some stems are too hard to be bent. I don’t know how I will manage to keep their growth under control. Nothing special in terms of nutrition: OHN to protect them and water with FAA to keep the soil alive.

Lot of new branches. She is the easiest to control. Very good plant for scrogging. Extreme heat during this week reaching 36 degrees.

Growing nicely. I have spotted some leaves with marks of an insect so I applied OHN and added some WCA (water soluble calcium). She is the smallest but she is taking up a nice part of the net, so now I let her go to the sky. Let’s see.

Growing nicely. Foliar FPJ and FV

Started with a slight defoliation. I ve cut yellow and yellowish leaves and lottle branches under the canopy.

Very hot days. I have to water every other day. As flowering is going to start in a month or so, I added some FFJ made of unripe pear.

A very (even too) sunny week. They drink a lot. As once during this week they were dry I watered witha bactrex orgatrex FAA mix, and also I added two guerrilla tabs to each girl. Meanwhile I might have spotted some preflowers…a bit too early. I’ve taken all yellow leaves off and cut one branch of Lady Brooklyn Mango.

Going well. I think first preflowers habe just appeared. So from next week she’s officially flowering.

As I spotted some preflowers I consider the flowering began. Some very warm Days are ahead us going nearly until 40 degrees.

After spending 10 days away I came back to a nightmare: lot of fallen leaves marked significantly the general green mass of my ladies and of them had something we first diagnosed as a Fusarium but inveszigating it a bit better it might be hemp borer caterpillars. It would explain the slowing down of the growth and the too many yellowing leaves as well. But it also means that the plants have been infeczed for a few weeks now. I applied Bacillus thuringiensis on the leaves and even injected some into the stems. Now I am just hoping that these once beautiful plants will make it through the harvest and give me some buds.

So she doesn’tlook infected with fusarium. But leaves are yellowing fast. It can be due to the extreme heat. The forest around look already as if it was autumn… Update: After chopping her two sisters, I cut two suspicious branches but I couldn’t spot any fungal activity. I hope she is gonna make it…

Heavy rains this last week. She doesn’t look worse, so I am still hoping she is not infected with fusarium.

Still going on. Buds getting covered by trichomes.

I think she is gonna make it. I still don’t see signs of fusarium. Buds are frosty, but not swollen yet. I would say 2-3 weeks left.

She is getting ready for the harvest. I think this one is the last week. Only rain has been watering her for the last 3 weeks.

Until the end she didn’t show signs of Fusarium sonI dared to cut her. I opened up several branches in order to investigate for the black Fungi I found in her sisters stems. I haven’t found anything, but lot of them damaged severely by caterpillars. Next time I’ll be much more careful with these creatures.
