Sugar Mango Ryder Out Door

Two free Sugar Mango Ryder seeds from World of Seeds. First one sprouted immediately. The other one was a dud. Had troubles during seedling from my first grow. So, trying to raise seedlings in paper cup so I can transplant easier. Rigged up closet grow box from shoe shelf and book end piece held together with duct tape. Light source is an 18 watts full spectrum LED with aluminium fins. And I put in a timer switch. Soil is 2/3 peat moss with 1/3 pumice.

Really a vigorous plant. Data sheet does not do her justice. Day 10 she had outgrown my tiny seedling station. So, I transplanted against good wisdom. Day 12, she seemed okay with he larger container. So I pinched off her top leaving 3 pairs of leaves. Not feeding her yet because she is a hybrid.

SMR seemed to recover from having her top pitched off and transplanting well. She is so fast and I don’t mind slowing her veg down. Adding foilar fertilizer- spray twice a week. - half strength 21-21-21 fertilizer 1.5 g/liter - full strength Sea weed extract 2 ml / liter

Responded well to foliag fertilizer 21-21-21 and sea weed. Half strength twice this week. 4 fits full manure added with B1 root promoter. I used the left over solution to spray on my Clive plants and burned them to crisp. So, SMR, or this Pheno, is not a fragile babe. At week 4, she is still vegging and giving faint perfume that remind me of Planck. Fantastic growth in my inept hands. Near her is a mildew infested bush. And SMR is healthy and smiling in the 11 hours light balmy stale air. For her, I have only love an nothing else. She is growing taller and more voluptuous than my other tropical sativa auto’s that are seven weeks old. A real Brazilian beauty.

After a month, Sugar Mango Ryder is over a foot tall and healthy though out the growth, pistils started to show but I am still calling this week as veg. Could be “pre-flowing” stage. I took a look at the bottom of the container and saw some root. So, I moved the container down from the pedestal to the ground. So, if she want to extend her roots to compete with the local, she is welcome. Continuing to spray with 21-21-21 foilar/sea weed at half strength x twice a week. Stop feeding with manure and bought bat guano to feed during the next two weeks or so.

Oh gods and all things that are sacred to cannabis - hear my prayer- don’t let me fuck up now. So far, Sugar Mango Ryder is so forgiving but she is so fast. These are likely to be the last three weeks of nutes. At the this week, I added three handful of bat guano. Smelled like a cave. There was a bat carcass that came in the bag. So, this is a genuine bat dung. Also add trichoderma into the soil. Started to spary with a quarter strength 9-19-34 foilar fertilizer with trichoderma. PH is high at 6.8 despite the doses of 0.025% vinegar. (2 liter of 5% vinegar to 20 liter of water). After the dose, pH is down to 6.5 and back to 6.8 by next morning. I have put her container on soil so her roots would have some extra space.

Starting of Week 7 - new flowers are popping out fast. Gave her a spray of adrenaline at week start. Toward the end of the week, buds are getting bigger. Spraying with foliar fertilier at the start of the week: 9-19-34 strength 1.5 g/liter 2% Mg 4 ml/liter 5% Mn 1ml/ptt Calcium Silicate 0.3 gram / liter Adrenaline 1 gram / liter. 10 gram of trichoderma Added to soil at week start - 30 grams of bat guano - 30 grams trichoderma.

Fantastic strain - easy to grow. Resistance to heat, over water, over fed, and weird things that I do to her. This week I started by fondling her and splitted the trunk virtually near the ground. Repaired with rubber band stemmed to be okay after 24 hours. On the other hand. I can’t imagine that she will be ready in 60 days.

Stop adding guano to soil otherwise it’ll be too difficult to flush later. Stop staying mute to be safe. And Buds seemed to be filling out okay. Comparing to other grow journals here, I think it’ll be sometime before she is ripe. Add solution of 250 ppm Calcium Silicate and 40 ppm Magnesium once to soil.

Different challenges as temp is heating up and plants is going through mid flowering stage. Day temperature is around 36 degree C. And leave surface temperature is around 50 degree C midday. Sugar leaves are getting bigger but crystal trichome became oil slick. And a few fan leaves lost colors. There is also less smell. I think terpenes are evaporating away. Intentionally not doing anything but watering everyday for a week.

Bud rot! I saw one or two spot with brown buds and picked it out to inspect. It was bud rot. So I had to cut off about half the growth height. Little yield is better than no yield. Tried to salvage some bud without rot. I am quickly drying these salvaged buds so mold do not spread. Even when they are not ready, I'll get the taste of my first grow. So ironic to think that I was worrying about harvesting period and what o do with fox tail buds. Lesson learned - don't spray during flower. And trichome does not come off the hand so easily. My hands will have nice smell all day. Do use gloves when trim. Current status: remaining bud trichome are a little cloudy but mostly clear. The bottom buds are young. Pray that with chopped off top, mould doe not spread.

Bud rot kind of settle the question when to harvest. After decapitation, there seemed to be no new rot. I am waiting for lower buds to mature a little more. But if i see any sign of more rot, I'll harvest. From salvaged bud, I soaked in water for two days. Air dried for another three days. My location was on a balcony. I put buds on a strainer and then place the strainer inside a card board box during the day. At night, I took the strainer out. I now have about 2 grams of dark ugly fluffy buds. I tossed out buds with visible sign of rot. The sample buds are in a bottle. I am waiting for my roll paper for the first test smoke of my grow. This is the furthest that I have gone with my grow, So, the journey with Sugar Mango Ryder continues a little longer.

Banana, asin Kevin and Bob from the Minions, showed up on the plant. Yeah, conditions called for hermie. Heat, pruning, bugs, rot all stressed the plant. With all other things that had happened, lady boy dongs should only add to my grow experience. After I pinched of these banana's, they spilled yellow pixie dust which will likely to pollinate everything else. So, first reaction is to contain the damage by spraying the soil with water. And on inspection, there was one more bud rot spot on one lower branch. And trichome looks okay enough. Could have more amber, but it is good enough. Most important, I had fantastic time with the test buds. So, decision was to chop chop. On the test buds, I called my son for his bong. This is one topic that got him to my house very quickly. It was a small bong and the bowl contains about a fifth of a gram. Like 0.20 gram per bowl. With water cure, the smoke was very smooth. There was not a lot of test nor smell. So smooth it was like breathing through a thick fog rather than smoking weed. There was some mild cough but less than usual. And we were fine with not having test nor smell. Well aware that indica takes some time to take effect so we waited. Well, both of us have things to do later, so we decided to clean up after only one bowl. But we could not. Neither father nor son could get up. Our asses were stuck on the floor. And some stars did came out in the middle of the day. We are sitting there smiling and waited for happy half an hour before we could get up and went to sleep for another hour. I read on some review that this is good for walking and readying - musta have been made by some real stoner with high tolerance. For me, this is when relaxation is called for. It's making sure that there is nothing to be done for a couple of hours before lighting up. If we were to take a few bowls, i don’t think we can move. Additional benefit, my son had a bad fall with swollen angle and scrapes. He had been limping for a week. After one bowl of SMR, pain went away while the stone lasted. And swelling came down the next morning. Growing in the tropical outdoor was not easy. But the stone is great. No sativa bag weeds can compare. My next report will be harvest report after tallying up dry weight (water curing).

The stone was so strong. Has to be careful on which occasion to smoking SMR. It can totally incapacitated smoker with one small bowl. There were leaves and buds on trims. After drying, there was small amount of trichome on trims. So, I put these trims in a vodka bottle. I I did try the trim infused vodka. It does not supposed to have stoning effect without decarboxylation but it did get me a stone. I took one drink before I worked out in the gym. After 30 minutes of running, suddenly I was lazy. A little later, I got in to my weight routine. And I became Master Rochi in Dragon ball. Pumping iron with no pain. I knew it wast SMR doing this and stop myself from lifting too hard. With infused vodka, the stone was mild but lasted 4 hours. Infusing trims made vodka tasted a bit like alcoholic tea. I do like the taste but this is not a party drink. People will get drunk and fall asleep all over. I like water curing. It is fast. Little smell during drying. Leaves almost came off by themselves after three days in warm water. So trimming is simplified. The product has very little smell and aroma. Weight is reduced as there is less vegetable matters. Not for commercial grower. Great for space saving. Also burned really clean. I decarboxylate with 4 minutes in the microwave follows by 120 degree C for 20 minutes in air fryer. So I have the med that is ready and can be either smoke or infused into edible0
