Stoney_Stark Sticky Mango Auto — Week 4 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Late Veg → Early Flower Transition ⸻ Growth Overview By Week 4, a noticeable size difference has developed between the two plants. One plant is nearly double the size of the other, while the smaller plant has entered early flower first, showing visible white pistils. This staggered development is not uncommon in autoflowers and appears to be influenced by early root-zone moisture differences. The larger plant remains in late vegetative growth, while the smaller plant is clearly transitioning into flower. ⸻ Moisture Management & Wicking Adjustments 2/1 Signs of overwatering observed. Pots were placed on stands to remove them from the wicking rope and mat. The absorbent pad was removed from the pot showing more stress, while the healthier plant remained on the mat. After ~11 hours, both plants were returned to their wicking material. 2/2 Plants continued to show signs of excess moisture. Both were again placed on stands to fully disconnect from the wicking ropes. 2/3 Decided to extend dry-back by another 24 hours to allow the root zone to re-oxygenate. These adjustments helped slow water uptake and encouraged healthier root respiration before flower onset. ⸻ Flower Initiation 2/5 First signs of flower observed — white pistil hairs visible. 2/6 Smaller plant clearly showing pistils. Both plants were low-stress trained by tying down branches to open structure and manage height differences. ⸻ Feeding Log — 2/6 • Total volume: 1 gallon (split evenly) • Amount: ½ gallon per plant • PPM: 877 • pH: 5.9 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si — 1 ml • Micro — 5 ml • Grow — 2 ml • Bloom — 4 ml • CaliMagic — 1.5 ml • Floralicious Plus — 1 ml ⸻ Nutrient Strategy & Purpose (Week 4 Transition) Armor Si (Silica) Used to strengthen cell walls and improve stress resistance. Especially important here due to recent moisture stress, training, and the upcoming stretch phase. Micro Provides essential micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper) that support chlorophyll production and enzyme activity. Keeps growth balanced as the plant shifts metabolic focus toward flowering. Grow (Reduced) Nitrogen is still needed, but at a lowered rate. This supports continued leaf function without pushing excess vegetative growth, which can be counterproductive once flowering begins—especially for the smaller plant already showing pistils. Bloom (Increased) Phosphorus and potassium are ramped up to support flower initiation, root signaling, and early bud site development. This helps both plants transition smoothly despite their size difference. CaliMagic Calcium supports cell division and structural growth, while magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production. Critical in coco, especially during stretch and early flower when demand increases. Floralicious Plus Provides organic acids and bioactive compounds that enhance nutrient uptake, improve root efficiency, and help buffer stress from training and environmental adjustments. ⸻ Notes Going Forward With one plant entering flower ahead of the other, feeding will remain balanced but conservative on nitrogen while continuing to support early bloom development. Moisture management will stay a priority to prevent further root stress and ensure a smooth transition into full flower.

Stoney_Stark Week 5 Update — Sticky Mango Auto Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Early Flower (Week 5) ⸻ Growth Overview Both Sticky Mango autos have officially entered flower.

With the extra space now available, this Sticky Mango should continue stacking aggressively over the coming weeks.

Stoney_Stark Sticky Mango Auto — Week 8 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Mid–Late Flower (Week 8) ⸻ Growth Overview The plant is progressing well into the bulk phase of flowering. Buds are stacking nicely and forming dense clusters along the branches. Structure is excellent with tight node spacing, although the buds appear to be developing into a slightly airier / looser structure, which can be typical for some genetics. Some minor discoloration on the upper leaves has started to appear. This may indicate slightly low nitrogen availability as the plant continues heavy bud production. It is currently minor and not causing concern. Overall health remains strong and the plant is continuing to consume nutrients and water aggressively, indicating active metabolism and continued flower development. ⸻ Irrigation & Root Zone Notes • Added an absorbent mat under the fabric pot on 2/28 to improve wicking efficiency. • The plant appears to be drinking heavily from the reservoir. • On 3/6 a 50% runoff top feed was performed to reset the coco medium and prevent salt buildup. ⸻ Light & Environment Plant continues to perform well under current lighting conditions with no signs of light stress.
