Mango sherbert by HSC

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. 🚀🔥🌱

CannaArchive The Mango Sherbert had another great week of vegetative growth.🌱 She recovered very quickly after topping and immediately started developing multiple strong side branches. Compared to the other plants she stayed very compact and bushy, creating a nice structure for the upcoming training.💪 The stem thickened noticeably and the overall growth remained vigorous throughout the week. She has been one of the easiest plants to manage so far and continues to look healthy. Feeding 1 L every ~3 days RO water + CalMag 1× Orgatrex 🌡️ Environment 25°C 60% RH ~450 PPFD Training This week I topped the plant for the first time. She barely slowed down afterwards and quickly started building several strong new shoots. The structure is shaping up nicely and I'm excited to see how she develops over the next few weeks.💚

CannaArchive This week was mainly about recovery and giving the roots more space to develop. 🌿 The Mango Sherbert was transplanted into her final 20L fabric pot, where she now has enough room to establish herself properly before the next stage. The soil was prepared with Dynomyco Mycorrhizae, Startrex, Silicium Flash, and 3 BioTabs. The transplant went well, and throughout the week the plant continued developing several strong side branches while the main stem became noticeably thicker. 💚 She was watered with water and CalMag, together with one feeding of Orgatrex and one application of Green House Feeding Bio Enhancer. The fresh soil and additional root space should now help her recover further and support stronger growth over the coming weeks. 💧 The yellow and uneven coloration was still clearly visible during this week, but this was remaining damage from the previous week rather than a new issue. Despite the older affected leaves, she continued growing and produced several healthy new shoots. 🌱 By the end of the week the structure had opened up nicely, with multiple tops developing at a similar height. The focus now is to let her settle into the final pot and continue replacing the damaged foliage with healthier new growth. 🚀 🌡️ Environment Temperature: 25°C Relative Humidity: 55% Light Schedule: 18/6 PPFD: ~500 💧 Watering Water + CalMag 1× Orgatrex 1× Green House Feeding Bio Enhancer

CannaArchive Week 6 was all about letting Mango Sherbert fully recover after last week's transplant before making the switch to flower. 🌱💚 Instead of adding more stress through training or pruning, I decided to simply let the plant establish itself in the new container and continue building a healthy root system. Looking at her progress throughout the week, it was definitely the right decision. 🙌 Environmental conditions remained stable with temperatures around 25°C, 60% relative humidity, and the light staying at 600 PPFD. 🌡️💧 Under these conditions Mango Sherbert continued producing vigorous new growth while maintaining a compact structure with several strong tops. She was watered with RO water and CalMag throughout the week, alongside one feeding of Orgatrex. 💧🌱 Since the fresh soil still contained plenty of nutrients, there was no need to increase feeding any further. The plant responded well, showing healthy development and noticeably stronger branching by the end of the week. 💪 No training or defoliation was performed during this week. ✂️ The focus was entirely on recovery and allowing the plant to prepare naturally for flowering. As the days passed, Mango Sherbert became bushier and more vigorous, with a sturdy structure that should support an excellent stretch once flowering begins. 🌸🚀 Some of the older fan leaves still display the yellowing caused by the nutrient imbalance from the previous week. 🍃 However, the fresh growth looks significantly healthier and much more vibrant, making it clear that the issue is behind her and that she is recovering well. Overall, this was another very successful recovery week. 🌱💚 Mango Sherbert bounced back nicely after transplanting, developed a strong and balanced structure, and looked fully prepared to enter flowering in Week 7. 🌸 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 25°C 💧 Humidity: 60% 💡 Light: 40% (~600 PPFD) 🌱 Stage: Vegetative Week 6 Water & Nutrients 💧 RO Water + CalMag 🌱 1× Orgatrex Training 🌿 Recovery week after transplant ✂️ No training or defoliation performed

CannaArchive Mango Sherbert has officially entered her first week of flower! 🌸💚 The transition into bloom has been very smooth, and she immediately started her flowering stretch. 📈 Compared to the other plants in the tent, this phenotype has developed a beautiful balance between vertical growth and lateral branching, creating an open canopy with excellent light penetration. ☀️🌿 After being topped during vegetation, she has responded extremely well and is now producing a large number of evenly developing flowering tops. Every day the structure becomes more impressive, and the first white pistils are now visible across the entire plant. 🌼✨ She also received her first Bio PK feeding this week to support the beginning of flower development. 🌱 Unfortunately, the current heatwave made it impossible to lower temperatures any further. The environment remained around 28°C with 60% RH, but Mango Sherbert handled these conditions without any noticeable stress. 💪🌡️ Light intensity has now been increased to approximately 750 PPFD, providing enough energy to support the ongoing stretch while preparing for the upcoming bud-building phase. 💡 At the moment, this phenotype is looking extremely promising. 😍 She combines vigorous growth with a well-balanced structure and a large number of future flowering sites. If she continues developing like this, she has the potential to become one of the strongest performers of the entire run. 🚀🍋 🌱 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 28°C 💧 Humidity: 60% RH 💡 Light intensity: ~750 PPFD 🌸 First Bio PK feeding 📈 Healthy flowering stretch 🌿 Excellent branch development 💚 Strong and vigorous growth I'm really excited to see how she'll stack over the next couple of weeks. 🤞🌸🍋

CannaArchive Mango Sherbert has quickly become the most vigorous plant in the tent. During the second week of flower she showed the strongest stretch of all three plants, rapidly increasing in height while maintaining excellent overall health. 🌱 Unlike Chicken #2 and Nutter Budder, Mango Sherbert has developed a much more open structure with longer internodal spacing. The stretch is clearly more pronounced, allowing plenty of light to reach the lower flowering sites without requiring heavy defoliation.🌱 One thing that immediately stood out this week was her water consumption. While the other plants only needed watering every 3–4 days, Mango Sherbert consistently emptied her pot within 2 days, with the fabric pot becoming almost feather-light before each watering. Considering she is currently the largest plant in the tent, this increased thirst is completely expected. 💧 She received reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag throughout the week, together with one feeding of BioTabs Orgatrex. Despite the higher water demand, she remained perfectly healthy and continued pushing vigorous new growth every day. The first flower clusters are now forming across every branch, with white pistils appearing rapidly as the stretch continues. Her strong vertical growth suggests she may become one of the tallest plants in the room before the stretch finishes. Only a light cleanup of a few fan leaves was performed to improve airflow while preserving as much foliage as possible. 🌱 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 28°C 💧 Humidity: 60% RH 🌸 Flower Week 2 🌱 1× BioTabs Orgatrex 💧 RO water + CalMag 🚰 Watered every 2 days due to significantly higher water consumption 🌿 Strongest stretch of all plants 🌳 Open structure with longer internodal spacing 🌸 Flower sites forming rapidly across the canopy 🍃 Only light defoliation Mango Sherbert is clearly showing the highest vigor in the tent so far. Her explosive stretch, rapid water uptake, and healthy development suggest she has the potential to become one of the highest-yielding plants of this run if she continues performing like this. 💚

CannaArchive Mango Sherbert continued developing very similarly to the other plants throughout the third week of flower. Despite the ongoing heatwave with temperatures around 28°C and 60% relative humidity, she showed no signs of stress and remained healthy from top to bottom. 🌞 Water consumption stayed relatively low, requiring irrigation only once every three days. During the week she received one feeding of BioTabs Bio PK 5-8 to support flower formation and one application of Bio Enhancer, while every watering consisted of reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag. 💧 The vigorous stretch that dominated the previous week began slowing down noticeably. Vertical growth became less aggressive, allowing the plant to redirect more energy into developing flower sites. Internodal spacing remained excellent, creating a very open structure with strong airflow throughout the canopy. 🌿 Flower development accelerated significantly during the week. Every branch produced larger clusters of bright white pistils, while the main tops became more defined and started stacking evenly. Bud formation looked very consistent across the entire plant, giving Mango Sherbert one of the most uniform structures in the tent. 🌸 Resin production also became much more noticeable this week. The upper sugar leaves developed an increasingly visible coating of trichomes, giving the flowers their first frosty appearance well before the halfway point of flowering. ✨ Leaf colour remained a healthy medium green with no visible nutrient deficiencies or signs of heat stress. The plant maintained excellent vigour throughout the week and continued looking extremely healthy despite the warm conditions. 🍃 Environment Temperature: 28°C 🌡️ Relative humidity: 60% Light intensity: ~800 PPFD ☀️ Watered every 3 days 💧 RO water + CalMag with every irrigation 1× BioTabs Bio PK 5-8 1× Bio Enhancer 🌱 Overall Impression Mango Sherbert delivered another excellent week of flowering. Stretch slowed at the perfect time, allowing the plant to fully transition into flower production while maintaining a very open and balanced structure. Bud stacking is progressing evenly across every branch, trichome production is already becoming impressive, and overall plant health remains outstanding. If she continues developing at this pace, she has all the ingredients to become a heavy-yielding and exceptionally resinous plant by harvest. 💚

CannaArchive The heat wave finally came to an end this week, allowing the flowering environment to return to much more favorable conditions. Temperatures stabilized around 25°C with a 55% relative humidity, giving the Mango Sherbert ideal conditions to continue building flowers without heat stress. 🌿 Just like the other plants in the tent, the Mango Sherbert received a selective defoliation to improve airflow and expose lower bud sites to more direct light. The canopy became much more open afterwards, and the plant showed no negative reaction to the leaf removal. Instead, flower development continued uninterrupted throughout the week. ✂️🍃 Feeding remained simple and consistent. The plants received one watering with BioTabs Orgatrex, while all remaining irrigations consisted of reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag. Leaf color stayed healthy and vibrant with no visible signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses. 💧 Compared to the Nutter Budder, this phenotype is noticeably more compact. The internodal spacing remains much shorter, allowing the flowers to stack closely together along every branch. The main colas are already beginning to take shape and look considerably fuller than they did just one week ago. 🌸 One of the most impressive traits at this stage is the early resin production. The sugar leaves are already heavily coated in trichomes, giving the flowers a frosty appearance despite still being in the first half of bloom. Resin coverage appears to increase daily, making this one of the standout plants in the tent. ✨ With environmental conditions returning to normal after the heat wave, flower development accelerated noticeably. White pistils continue emerging across every bud site, while the calyxes slowly begin swelling as the plant transitions into the bulking phase. The overall structure looks balanced, with strong branching and excellent light distribution after defoliation. 🌱 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% 🚿 RO water + CalMag 🌱 1× BioTabs Orgatrex ✂️ Selective defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration ☀️ Heat wave ended, allowing optimal flowering conditions Overall Impression The Mango Sherbert continues to impress with its compact structure and excellent flower formation. While the Nutter Budder focused on vertical stretch, the Mango Sherbert has invested much more energy into stacking dense flower sites along each branch. Buds are already becoming noticeably thicker, and the exceptionally early trichome production suggests this cultivar has excellent resin potential. With the environment back under control, the plant now appears ready to enter the main bulking stage and is shaping up to be one of the strongest performers of the run. ❄️

CannaArchive Week 5 was another strong week for Mango Sherbert. She is clearly putting a lot of energy into flower production now, and the buds are starting to gain noticeably more volume along the main branches. Some of the larger tops are developing into long, stacked colas, while plenty of secondary flowers are filling out further down the canopy. 🌿 Resin production is also progressing nicely. The sugar leaves around the flowers are becoming increasingly covered in trichomes, and there are still plenty of fresh white pistils coming through. Looking at the flower structure, there should still be quite a bit of swelling ahead over the coming weeks. ❄️ The aroma is becoming one of the most interesting parts of this plant. Right now she smells very tropical and sweet, but there is also a slightly tart/herbal note underneath that keeps the profile from being purely sugary. 🍬 So far it’s a really interesting combination, and I’m curious how much it will change once the flowers move deeper into maturation. She is also noticeably thirsty and currently needs water around every two days. 🌡️ Temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~55% 💡 Light: 900–1100 PPFD 🚿 Watering: Around every 2 days 💧 Water: RO water + CalMag 🌱 Green House Bio PK: 1x this week 🌿 Green House BioEnhancer: 1x this week UV is now part of the lighting schedule as well. Exposure is being increased by 15 minutes every three days until reaching a maximum of 60 minutes per day. No additional training was done during Week 5. At this stage the structure is established and the focus is simply on letting the flowers continue to develop. Overall, Mango Sherbert is making very nice progress. The combination of her tall, open structure, increasingly chunky colas and developing resin coverage is starting to show what this plant can potentially deliver. ❄️ The tropical-sweet aroma with that slightly tart edge is probably what has me most curious right now. Let’s see how much the buds can swell and where those terpenes go over the next few weeks. 🌱🔥

CannaArchive Week 6 was another pretty relaxed week for the Mango Sherbert.🌴 She continues to develop without any real issues and remains one of the thirstier plants in the tent. She received Orgatrex once this week, while everything else continued as usual. The environment remained stable at around 25°C and 50% RH, and there were no major issues or changes throughout the week. 🌡️ Temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~50% 🚿 Watering: Around every 2 days 💧 Water: RO water + CalMag 🌿 Orgatrex: 1x this week Visually, I’m pretty happy with how her flowers are developing. The buds continue to gain size along the branches and the main colas are becoming increasingly defined. There are still plenty of fresh white pistils present, so she clearly has more swelling and development ahead of her. 🌿 The aroma is becoming one of the most interesting characteristics of this plant. She has developed a very sweet, fruity and tropical profile, but underneath that sweetness there is also a slightly bitter/tart note that gives the whole aroma a little more depth. 🍍 The resin production is progressing nicely as well. The flowers and surrounding sugar leaves are becoming increasingly covered in trichomes, and the frost is becoming more noticeable with every week. ❄️ Structurally she remains quite tall and open, with plenty of space between the individual branches and flower sites. At this stage there is nothing left to train or change, she can simply concentrate on continuing to build and mature her flowers. Overall, Mango Sherbert continues to develop very nicely. The flowers still have plenty of room to swell, resin production is moving in the right direction, and her terpene profile is becoming increasingly distinctive. 🌿❄️ The combination of sweet, fruity and tropical aromas with that slightly bitter/tart edge is easily the most interesting aspect of this plant right now. I’m really curious to see how much that profile changes and intensifies as she moves through the final weeks of flowering. 🔥
