High, FD57 Time passes by! Nine days of flush, five days to harvest...😇 FD58 - last flush.👌 Some growers turn their light off during the last couple of days, thinking that the buds produce more resin. Kinda true. But the trichomes only have a stem and no head. And the head is what I want. So no need for this. 👍 Pics from FD61 were take shortly before the light went on. You want a closer look? Just open the pic in a new tab... 😉 Thanks for your support guys, you rock. 😘 Stay green. 👽

D20 Defoliation

Week 2 of flower baby!! She is still stretching up. I just gave the first feeding of the Bloom recipe from Advanced Nutrients. I waited 2 weeks to start the Bloom because I heard it uses a lot of Nitrogen during the stretch phase. I'm pretty sure there is some truth to that but according to the labels, the Bloom part A & B both have Nitrogen in them also so I'm not sure if it was necessary but I don't think it should do any harm either. 09/11/2025- She is looking beautiful! I'm really happy with how things have turned out, I was a little worried during weeks 4 & 5 after I broke a stem and cut another one 😅 but she has filled out nicely and you can hardly tell she's missing 2 stems. Buds are starting to form. I repositioned the oscillating fan and lowered the trellis by an inch or so. 09/13/2025- She looks very happy! She is a nice lush green and leaves are nice and soft. I'm pretty sure she has stopped growing vertically for the most part, I feel real good about how much headroom I have left. I can't wait for these buds to fatten up and change color 😁

Не, знаю, думаю еще подержать недельки 3 и рубить.

🌸 Week 5 Flower – Frost on the Horizon We’ve reached the midway mark of flower, and the Mango Kush sisters are entering their true production phase. What started as white hairs and clusters is now becoming recognizable bud sites, with calyx swelling, pistils stacking, and resin glands beginning to form. Even though the two phenos are still at slightly different paces, both are showing the strength of Mango × Hindu Kush genetics: dense flower set, uniform branching, and a promise of rich aromas to come. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Adjusting for Signs & Demands This week we observed minor leaf spotting, likely an early sign of calcium/magnesium imbalance. With the canopy pushing hard into bloom, demand for structural nutrients rises. To address this, we adjusted the recipe: Updated Feeding Mix (per liter): • 🌿 Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • 🌿 Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.35 ml (slight increase for leaf support) • 🌿 Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml (reintroduced for balanced NPK support) • 🌿 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • 🌿 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml Why this change? • All-In-One Liquid provides a steady base of NPK to complement the super soil and ensure no hidden deficiencies appear as flowers bulk. • CalMag Boost increased slightly to help counter early spotting and reinforce leaf health. • Sugar Royal & Green Sensation remain to push terpene, resin, and bud density. 🌱 Educational Takeaway: At mid-flower, nutrition must shift slightly from “steering” to supporting. The plant is now a high-demand engine, and small deficiencies show quickly. Adding back a balanced NPK base (All-In-One) ensures pistil and calyx production doesn’t stall. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Riding the Heat The room remains lively but challenging: • 🌡️ Temps: peaking at 31–34°C • 💧 RH: 50–60% • 📊 VPD: ~1.8–2.0 kPa While slightly hotter than ideal, the Mango Kush girls are holding strong thanks to airflow and the resilience provided by biostimulants like Sugar Royal and Regulator. An AC unit is on the way, which will stabilize the climate moving forward. 🌱 Educational Takeaway: High VPD increases water demand, plants drink more, transpire faster, and pull nutrients quicker. This can be beneficial if balanced correctly, but also risky: deficiencies show up faster, and stress can slow bud formation. Monitoring and adjusting is the key. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Mid-Canopy Power Boost Our lighting orchestra is now running at higher intensity to fuel flower bulking: • ThinkGrow Model One – deep penetration into the canopy • 2× ThinkGrow ICL-300 bars – mid-canopy support, ensuring no shadowed sites • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – full-spectrum coverage • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – evening out the footprint PPFD is averaging 750–800 µmol/m²/s, which is perfect for mid-flower. The canopy is even, with bud sites developing from top to bottom. 🌱 Educational Takeaway: Mid-canopy lighting like the ICL-300 prevents “popcorn buds” by ensuring lower sites receive enough light intensity to develop properly. The result: fuller plants, less larf, more usable flower. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics in Action – Mango Kush Week 5 • Pheno #1 – Still ahead, stacking pistils into early bulking buds, beginning to sparkle under macro view. • Pheno #2 – Catching up fast, with strong pistil growth and early calyx development. Though she started later, her structure is filling in beautifully. Both phenos are showing that classic Mango Kush balance: fruit-forward aromas beginning to rise when you brush the flowers, with the Kush backbone promising earthy depth in the final cure. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ Expect this week and next: • Rapid calyx swelling → buds begin “rounding out” • Trichome initiation across sugar leaves • First noticeable sticky texture • Stronger aroma when handling ❌ Not yet: • Full frost coverage (peaks Weeks 6–7) • True terpene explosion (Weeks 7–8) • Final density (Weeks 7–9) 🌱 Educational Takeaway: Week 5 is often where growers get impatient. Resist the urge to overfeed or over-adjust. Buds are setting their foundation now, the bulk and frost come with time. ⸻ 🔄 Recap – The Journey So Far • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established, Aptus Start Booster support • Weeks 3–4 Veg: Rapid branching, transplant into super soil + Aptus Mycor-Mix & Buffer • Week 5 (Flip): 12/12, stretch begins • Flower Weeks 1–2: Power Buds introduced, lighting expanded • Flower Week 3: Flower set established, pistils everywhere • Flower Week 4: Bulking begins, feeding simplified • 🌸 Flower Week 5 (Now): Buds swelling, trichomes emerging, All-In-One Liquid reintroduced, environment monitored closely ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To everyone following along, thank you. Each week is a balance of science, art, and patience, and it means a lot to share this journey together. The Mango Kush sisters are teaching us once again: growth happens in stages, and trust in the process brings the best results. ⸻ 💭 Grower’s Note: “This week felt like the garden finally started to sparkle. The first trichomes are here, pistils are building like fireworks, and even with the heat waves, the girls stand tall. Pheno #1 is racing, Pheno #2 is steady — and together, they remind me that nature never grows in straight lines, only in rhythms.” 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Flushtime... 😃 last week started and I will flush them for 4-5 days. Dont want to change water 2 times a week Trichomes and buds looking good. Next week harvest 👊😋

Due to last week BCN leaf change to lighter color, brown and some leaf tip got the burn. So i decision to feed organic Bat guano juice instead of Flower Fuel and Myco+ For Pineapple still small and slow growing rate, And look like just only Bud is growing only. This plant i change to feed Bat guano only same as BCN also. Due to yellow leaf issue, I check soil PH by cheap soil PH meter and found soil PH around 5.5 Looking seem to be problem of ph locked. Before end of this week i decision to fill dolomite around 3 tbs per pot. Hope it will help my plant from nutrient lock and help my plant better on the late of flowering stage. Need see result in near future.

Extremely easy to grow. Heavy feeder. Great Yield. Definitely recommended

been quite busy, due to my birthday and a new semester, which resulted in my Orange Apricot grew too close to the light and i mistakingly turned ny lights to 100% for a few days which ended up in light burn, so i had to re-adjust my setup and raised the lights.. also threw some netting on the orange apricot glue and some lst clips in an effort to hold them down abit.. still havent got the time to remove the burned leafs, but everything else looks perfect. ive also raised the Sweet cheese closer to the light.

She's starting to get hungry xP #BioBizz / Grow

went yo town again and lollipopped some more

This little lady grew a little bigger than the others. The smell! I've been working to finish my dry room. I'll have 3 rooms dedicated to my medicinal gardens once all is said and done.

The result:63 DAYS FROM SEED TO HARVEST

Another good week with average sunny days with solarstrength 750-850w/M2 Strong winds but this plant stands as a tree. I cleaned the big pot. Removed some additional plants, the focus is now to bring the girls home. Two plants are in their last week's, the plant in front is 2/3 weeks behind but flowers are swelling now. This is still the first batch of the season but it takes her time. Buds are swelling and heavy crystallized. The smell is ripe fruit and earthy skunk. A warm and imposante aroma. Almost done😅

Very strong week. Stopped Rhizotonic. Began LST. After feeding the gelato just pH water the paleness subsided and more colour came back to the plant. Gelato starting to grow bushy, strong growth from both plants.

🧡 ACAPULCO GOLD 🧡 This is becoming a very interesting pheno! She has developed 3 tops, and growing really well, nice and healthy, and is looking so far 👌 I have a full tent, so I'm considering letting the plants in this grow, grow up as I've got plenty of head space but very little horizontal space. This one is a Sativa, and so I am preparing for a tall plant. This was what I did this week: 23.6.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 and containing no nutrients. PH: 6.6 PPM: 307 26.6.25 I gave 2l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with no nutrients; PPM: 333 PH: 6.4 27.6.25: I top dressed the plant today, I watered yesterday. Top dress: ♡ 2 cups Worm Castings ♡ 1 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 1/2 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP Cinnamon 29.6.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0-6.2 and containing the following nutrients per 5 litres; ♡ 1 Tsp Cal-Mag by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.0-6.2 PPM: 1300 Thanks for checking out my diary 💚✌️🍃😊🌱
