CannaArchive The Mango Sherbert run started as part of a 4 seed germination batch, but unfortunately only a single Mango Sherbert seed successfully emerged above the soil. The remaining seeds either failed to sprout or did not survive the very early stages, making this lone survivor feel special right from the beginning. 💚
The seed was started directly in a lightly pre-moistened coco, wormhumus, perlite and vermiculite mix. Humidity was kept high using domes while temperatures remained around 23°C during the first days. Lighting from the Spider Farmer SE5000 was intentionally kept soft at roughly 150 PPFD to create a gentle environment for the seedlings. 💧
After emerging, the Mango Sherbert quickly established itself and already showed slightly more stretch and vertical growth compared to the other seedlings in the tent. Despite the rough overall germination rate, the surviving plant developed healthy coloration, stable structure and vigorous early growth. ☀️
Watering during this phase stayed very light with mostly controlled spraying instead of full watering cycles to avoid overly wet conditions around the young roots. The seedling handled the environment very well and continued gaining strength each day. 🌿
Looking back, it is pretty impressive how the only successful seed from the entire batch eventually turned into one of the most vigorous and fastest growing plants of the run. ✨

CannaArchive After being the only successful seedling out of the original Mango Sherbert batch, the plant entered week 1 with surprisingly vigorous and healthy growth. From the beginning she showed a more vertical structure with slightly larger internodal spacing and faster upward growth compared to the other young plants in the tent. 💚
The first true leaves developed cleanly and symmetrically while the stem continued strengthening throughout the week. Even with the noticeable stretch, the plant still maintained a healthy and stable structure overall. Leaf color stayed a bright healthy green with no visible nutrient issues, deformities or burn signs. 🌿
Environmental conditions remained stable around 25°C with elevated humidity to support early root development. The Spider Farmer SE5000 was kept high above the canopy at softer intensity levels while gentle airflow helped strengthen the young stem. The coco, perlite, vermiculite and wormhumus mix stayed airy and well oxygenated without becoming overly wet. 💧
Watering remained very controlled during this stage using reverse osmosis water together with CalMag Extra. The surface of the medium was intentionally kept on the drier side while the plant continued showing steady daily progress and increasingly active growth. ☀️
By the end of week 1 the Mango Sherbert already looked far more vigorous than expected considering the rough germination phase and started showing the aggressive growth behavior that would continue later into vegetation. ✨

CannaArchive During week 2 the Mango Sherbert slowly started gaining momentum and developed much more confidently compared to the previous stage. 🌱✨ The plant built a stronger structure throughout the week while continuing to push healthy new growth and larger leaves every day.
A slight stretch was still noticeable, giving the plant a taller structure early on, but the stem strengthened nicely and overall growth remained healthy and stable. The leaf color stayed vibrant and the new growth developed cleanly without major issues. 🌿☀️
Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week with controlled watering and a steady environment to support root development in the small container. The coco-based medium continued drying back evenly while the plant responded well to the watering routine using RO water together with CalMag Extra. 💧?
By the end of week 2 the Mango Sherbert looked much more established and vigorous overall. Root development appeared healthy and the plant was preparing well for the upcoming transplant during the following week. 🚀🔥

CannaArchive Week 3 was a major step forward for the Mango Sherbert as she was transplanted into a 6L fabric pot and continued building on the momentum from the previous weeks. 🌱
Before transplant, the root system had developed very well and showed healthy white roots throughout the root ball. The plant handled the move into the larger container without any major setbacks and quickly resumed active growth afterwards. 💚
Throughout the week, the Mango Sherbert continued displaying her characteristic vigorous growth pattern. She remained the taller and more vertically growing plant, producing larger leaves and noticeable new growth every day. While internodal spacing was slightly wider than some of the other plants, the overall structure remained healthy and well balanced. 🌿
The new medium consisted of BioBizz Light Mix, coco, perlite, worm castings, Startrex, Silicium Flash and BioTabs, providing a rich and biologically active environment for further root expansion. The plant responded very positively to the fresh substrate and quickly established itself in the larger container. 🌱
Environmental conditions remained stable around 25.5°C with approximately 60% relative humidity. Watering was carried out using reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag, while one application of Green House Feeding Bio Enhancer was added to support microbial life and root development. 💧
This week also marked the introduction of the Spider Farmer infrared bars. The IR schedule was configured to simulate sunrise and sunset conditions and became part of the overall lighting strategy moving forward. ☀️
By the end of Week 3, the Mango Sherbert had settled into the 6L pot beautifully and was showing strong vegetative growth, healthy leaf development and excellent vigor. The plant finished the week looking established, healthy and ready for the next stage of development. 🚀🔥🌱
