All good! My DWC experiment worked out better than expected! My soil grows are great!!!

Gran experiencia como siempre Contento con el resultado y con ganas de seguir probando y experimentando en este gran mundo. Cultivo facil de inicio pero que a finales por culpa de una plaga que no supe tratar a tiempo y sus consecuentes caos en esas dos semanas ... Fueron en la 4 y en la 5 semana , y desde ahí , pàrecio que cause unas carencias que ya se lastraron hasta el final del cultivo ... Aun así , en mojado pudimos sacar , nada mas que 530 gramos , y que ya luego en seco antes de pasarlas a los botes el peso total fue de unos 190 gramos de flor seca y ya lista para ir curando..

Things are going well. Very good root growth. The two new main stems have grown enough to be tied down for Low Stress Training. I don't think I'll top again. I want to see how fast I can get a good canopy with DWC, and see if Manifold-style training can get me a similar shape to the Mainline I did last year where I lost a ton of time from topping 4 times and doing a bunch of pruning to maintain a certain shape. I set the lights to 18/6 to encourage some rest and regrowth, and frankly to save myself a bit of light and noise at night. The reservoir is still full so I'm going to leave it this week and change out the water next week. The leaves are looking a bit stressed so I raised the light and moved the fan back a bit. I have a window fan pulling air out while there's no smell but I think I'll need to switch that to intake, turn on the exhaust and replace the jet with an oscillating fan. There is a fan on the cool tube for my light as well. I think I need to hang something heavier on the front to dampen the sound. All the fans are getting loud for my small apartment. Lol I topped it again the next day. I have wires tying down all the main branches. I think it's worthwhile to spend the time in veg making a good canopy. I'm following the instructions for Nebula's Manifold technique but I haven't done any pruning yet except for the topping itself. I have a vision of what I want taking form. June 16 I checked the pH and it was 6.5 so I brought it down to 5.5. I'm going to change out the water and nutes tomorrow. It needs a top-up so I'll just change out the whole thing tomorrow. I'm leaving out a bucket of water overnight for the chlorine to evaporate.

I have 2 seeds. One rooted in the water and places in the bucket with soil. The soil is rescued but I added some amendments. The other seed I placed in a Rockwell cube but just started to root.

Babies are growing soooo fast. Very happy about this strain! Can't wait for a tasting session... 😉

The Pineapple Express is growing very well, it was in the critical moment, the first "topping" took a minimum but it performed very well and the new brunches are ready together with some beautiful solar panel leaves.

This will be my last 'grow' pic for this plant as I plan to harvest within the next few days. I just fed her for the last time (I think) and will let her dry out for a couple days and then time to chop. I'm really happy with this one! Buds are a decent size, tight, sticky and smelly! Love it!

14/09/2021 Hello everyone, welcome to the third week of life of the so dreamed Dark Phoenix of Green House Seeds Co. I'm very surprised with the development of one of the plants, it grew a lot in the last week getting an excellent performance in my opinion. I would like to know your opinion. Leave comments please. Speaking of cultivation I keep keeping the temperature around 25°C to 26°C I raised the EC value to 1.0 ms.

Day 78 - Starting week 12 and she’s still chugging along and filling in and fattening up nicely. She’ll need some water and nutes in the next day or so. Day 79 - Still moving along nicely. Did a little defoliating today and will do a heavier one in another week or so. She probably is down to a couple weeks left, some of the pistils are starting to shrivel a bit but overall, still alive and well. Still have a couple days before she’s ready for some water. Day 80 - She’s looking good and fat and hell. She’s starting to get pretty damn heavy so looking at a pretty decent harvest. She wasn’t quite ready for water but should be ready tomorrow. Day 81 - Nothing new to speak of today, she was getting dry but not quite ready for some water but will definitely be giving her a feeding tomorrow. Pistils are slowly starting to shrivel up and turn reddish brown so starting to count the days down to chop. I’m thinking about 2 more weeks or so. Day 82 - The girl was majorly droopy today and was definitely ready for some water. I gave her a gallon of water with her last feeding of bloom nutes. I’ll flush her with some sledgehammer when she’s dried up again and just give her water until it’s time to harvest. Day 84 - She’s getting close to getting the chop. Leaves are starting to fade and pistils are starting to shrivel up. Still has quite a bit of white pistils but she’s on the downside, 2 weeks top left. Will be giving her a flush tomorrow and let her go till the end.

Day 53: In this last week I moved all the plants again and removed the leaves and branches for the last time. Twenty or twenty-five days at the most for the first harvest, and I can already draw up a final report on the genetics of this strain. On eight plants of Gorilla four showed a predominance indica with a large central cola and less ramifications. Two plants are much more bushy have a sativa predominance with longer buds and have branched out a lot. For the last two unfortunately has dominated the photoperiodic genetics and their flowering is considerably late, so as to be overcome by the two cheeses that are in bloom more advanced. However, the pistils have popped up and started to bloom, so the autoflowering genetic part is present. I am a patient grower anyway, so I will wait for them to complete their cycle even if I have to wait about three months. In these days I have added to my secret garden four other varieties: 1 Purple Glam Kush and 1 Sweet Tooth Auto by Bulk Seeds, 1 Critical Rapid by Barney's Farm and 1 Northern Lights x Blueberry by i49 Seeds. New dedicated journals on arrival 😉

Mango Kush – Week 1 Flower (Week 5 from Seed) Stretch, sibling rivalry, and fine-tuning the environment Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush – Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Light Systems: • ThinkGrow Model One LED (main canopy) • ThinkGrow ICL300 (inner canopy lighting) • Black Series 600W LED (shared space) Ecosystem: TrolMaster-controlled, partially hand-watered ⸻ 🌸 First Week Flower – Stretch Mode Engaged We’ve flipped the Mango Kush girls into flower, and while there are still no visible pre-flowers yet, the stretch has begun. • Pheno #1: Already tall and well-structured, pushing into her 8th–9th node with strong lateral branching. • Pheno #2: Started later, but is rapidly catching up—shorter internodes, lush leaves, and a determination to match her sister in size before flowers set. 📸 Both got a full studio photo session this week—looking flawless and healthy from every angle. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C (a bit high, AC incoming) • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C • Watering: Daily (when soil dries to ~25% moisture) ⸻ ⚠️ High Temperature Talk – Risks & Rewards Risks: • Higher temps speed up transpiration, meaning the plants take in water and nutrients faster, which can cause imbalances if not monitored. • Combined with high VPD, temps can push plants close to stress thresholds. Benefits (if managed well): • Boosted metabolism → faster stretch and branch growth before bud set. • With CO₂ at ~632 ppm, plants can tolerate slightly warmer temps without losing photosynthetic efficiency. 💡 Plan: An AC unit is on the way to lock temps into the sweet flower range of 26–28°C. ⸻ 💧 Why Daily Watering Works Here In these conditions, the Mango Kush girls are drinking daily. Letting the medium dry to about 25% before rewatering helps: 1. Prevent overwatering – Roots get oxygen between feedings. 2. Keep nutrients stable – Avoiding EC spikes/drops. 3. Match plant demand – Giving them exactly what they’re ready to drink. Nutrients remain tat Aptus Holland recipe, now for flower, just with slightly increased volume to match their thirst. ⸻ 🌱 Sibling Rivalry – Pheno #2’s Big Push Pheno #2 may have started late, but she’s been stacking nodes and leaves like she’s got something to prove. At this rate, she might hit flower at nearly the same size as her big sister. This will be a fun side-by-side to watch—same genetics, different timelines. ⸻ 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ThinkGrow ICL300 We’ve installed the ICL300, a bar-style LED designed to sit inside the canopy. Why it matters for Mango Kush: • Better Lower Buds – More intensity to shaded sites → denser flowers. • Even Growth – Less height difference between top and bottom buds. • Efficient Canopy Use – Every branch gets a fair shot at the light. In multi-strain grows, inner canopy lights help prevent the smaller plants from being overshadowed, literally. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next • AC arrives → temps stabilize → optimal VPD range. • Expect pre-flower pistils to appear in the next 7–10 days. • Watch Pheno #2’s progress—will she match #1 before the stretch is over? • Continue using ICL300 to fill out the lower canopy for more even bud development. ⸻ 📣 Thank you for following the Mango Kush journey!

Entlauben und Lollipoppen Es ist wieder eine Woche vergangen. Die LCC hat sich nun bei 110cm eingefunden und angefangen die Buds schwellen zu lassen. Der Top wirkt leicht mutiert. Der Zucker nimmt deutlich zu, sowie der Geruch. Das hieß nun für mich, da es Zeit technisch auch dran war, zu Entlauben und Lollipoppen. Da unten rum sehr wenig hängt, war es eine schnelle Geschichte. Oben rum sind einige Fächerblätter der Schere zum Opfer gefallen. Licht ist also genug vorhanden, für die unteren Etagen. Das restliche Gesamtbild der Blätter, lässt aber zu wünschen übrig… Farbtechnisch sind in an den Buds, ganz zarte Pinktöne wahrzunehmen – ob sie noch ein saftiges Lila bekommt? Das Kirsch-Zitronen Aroma, so spritzig und Mund wässrig machend, wird von einem erdigen, Keks artigen Ton eingeholt… Es haut einen aus den Socken. Der Gesamtgeruch ist noch „Schwach“, aber beim entfernen der unteren Popcorn Buds wurde deutlich, das es bald vorbei ist mit „Geruchsarm“ Die PH ist fleißig am Stretchen. Ich kann noch etwas derigieren und so gut die Fläche ausfüllen. Sie hat leichte Anzeichen, dass ich es etwas zu gut gemeint habe...aber sonst ist alles saftig. Einige Triebe haben sich doch abgehoben von der Gesamtfläche und bilden mehrere Hauptcolas. Die PH wird nächste Woche entlaubt und gelollipoppt. Dort ist dann einiges wegzunehmen. Momentan hat sie ca. 35cm an Höhe, wenn man die höchste Top nimmt. Ansonsten spielt sich viel auf 25 cm Höhe ab. Ich bin gespannt wie sie nächste Woche aussieht. Sie hat mittlerweile auch eine hauch feine Zuckerschicht bekommen. Und wenn ich sie sanft berühre, kann man das leise „öffnen einer Flasche Sprite“ hören. Farbtechnisch macht sie aber ihrem Namen noch keine Ehre – egal! Die BPP ist auch durch mit ihrem Stretch. Sie baut richtig Masse auf an den Buds und daher wird auch hier die Tage gelollipoppt und entlaubt. Hier ist auch etwas Arbeit von Nöten. Das Gesamtbild ist Top. Die Buds bekommen ein kräftiges Lila. Der Zucker ist sehr deutlich erkennbar und nimmt zu. Der Geruch wenn man die Popcorn Buds berührt ist unbeschreiblich. Süß, fruchtig irgendwie, wie ein blumiges Gummibärchen. Die gute hat eine Größe von ca. 60cm. Nur die LCC bekommt etwas mehr, außer der Reihe. Ansonsten bleibt alles Nähstoffmäßig so wie vorher. 3ml CalMg/L und 1ml/PK13/14/L – Es wird alle 2 Tage gegossen, 1 mal die Woche gefüttert. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit habe ich nun bei 45-55% je nach Ecke – passt. Nun steht etwas Arbeit an zum Weihnachtsfest – dafür bekomme ich hoffentlich dicke Geschenke im neuen Jahr! Also bis zur nächsten Woche und ein Fröhliches Fest!

Small but going... Nr III keeps going and plant II close to flowering, guess she gaining for now

Flower day 31 - Having a little trouble with the temperature getting higher than I would like because my dehumidifier puts off some heat while it’s running so it’s been a constant struggle to keep the environment in this tent stable! Definitely will not have so many plants next run lol, but all in all the ladies are growing great & I can’t wait to see how they turn out! Thanks for following friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Flower day 33 - Fed half the plants today with PH at 6.4 to try and keep the humidity down some I’ll water the other half tomorrow!

She's looking very healthy, beautiful color on the leafs, completely stunning after I got rid of the fungus gnats she's growing ultra fast, let's see what happens with this beautiful princess of mine! 😍👀💚

Staggered start to the 3 autos but that's only for breeding purposes. I plan on using sts spray to reverse the first one so I gave it a two week + 2 day head start. Full tutorial of the germination process is viewable on the video posted here and my youtube channel, link is on my profile if you care to watch it there, I found the loading screen for the video rather tedious on here.. Happy growing!

Okay, now they are really growing fast. I need to flip to flower!

This week i started to fertilize with the combo tablet Bloom booster with 1g per liter. The plant is really healthy and i have no complaint and the smell Is absurd.
