58 Days have passed in flower. Cheese left, Gorilla Girl right. The "Just water no pH" experiment has failed me around week 5 of flower. I have not done anything to keep the soil biology alive so thats probably the issue. Its all good though, it was fun while it lasted and definitely worth a try. I have let the soil dry as much as possible and then i watered in a tablespoon molasses per gallon water. pH'd to 6.6. I just need atleast 3-7 more days of flower and hopefuly the buds will mature a little more. I took a snip of the bottom leafs to check for trichomes maturity, those are the weakest of trichomes on the plants. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. 😎

The plant had some issues earlier in the week, but thanks to a fellow grower who helped me to sort it out! The pant is doing fine just that the leaves that turned pale never turned back green… but I still see new pistil formations very often in new sites!! Hope everything goes well.

Week 7 of flower Day 47 Flower Day 72 from seed. ~Week Average~ Temp: 72-82f RH: 35-42% PH: 5.9-6.2 Notes: I gave them one feed of over drive during this week and then just water. I started to look at trichromes and noticed mostly cloudy some amber. So I’ve decided I will do one more feed with flawless finish in two days. Then I will flush until the ladies are to my liking. I am super happy with the trichrome production of the Walter white she sure does put on! The smell is lemony, citrusy, and creamy. Will update ASAP! Happy cultivating!🤙🏽

Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies. Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. I watered with juices again at 850ppm because i felt that they need it. Only DsD drank pure water because of burns. NL stopped also vertical growth, started to fatten her buts. :D Her main cola will be huge.

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!

Starting to bud up ok. Tied the branches to open up the plant & removed quite a few leaves that were being eaten up . I really like the structure of the plant, not to bushy. Ran some Clearex to flush the salts from the Pro-Mix. The terpenes have a nice pepper/spices profile. Started Big bud this week.

The banner is so thick with leaves its insane. Find myself endlessly defoliating her. She isn't as wide as the skittles but she still has a load of potential tops. I'm going to start nutrients again and aim to flip her to flower in a week.

Esta es una genética de un olor muy fuerte y pesado se siente intenso desde la vegetación , es una variedad muy resinosa con unos colores morados hermosos , probando las flores cuando terminó el secado y ahora curando las flores se siente un sabor terroso , al principio no me gusto ya que nunca había probado este , pero después al seguir fumando se siente un sabor final muy agradable. Esta genética se conservará para futuros cruces y experimentar algo nuevo. muy conforme con la producción de cada clon

Die Pflanzen zeigen weiterhin ein sehr vitales Wachstum. • Wuchs: Das Blätterdach ist jetzt vollständig geschlossen, die Pflanzen nutzen den vorhandenen Raum optimal aus. Seitentriebe strecken sich gleichmäßig und sorgen für eine dichte Struktur. • Farbe: Kräftiges, gesundes Grün mit leichtem Glanz – ein Zeichen für stabile Photosynthese und perfekte Nährstoffaufnahme. • Düngung: Steigerung auf Canna Coco A+B je 5 ml/l wird sehr gut vertragen, keine Anzeichen von Überdüngung. • Gesamtzustand: Gesunde, vitale Pflanzen mit ausgeglichener Struktur – bereit für die nächste Phase.

She’s growing and still in her stretch phase the aromas are sweet and skunk from the whole room lol. Cruise control has been activated just keeping both environments dialed in so I can get another perpetual flow started again. I’ve been stressing tf outta my clones lol at first had them in a aero garden then changed em to peat pellets hopefully they survive but hey it would be cool just got to pop another one. Happy Growing Growmies

Smelling as amazing as her sister does, both of my Charlote's angel smell super sweet, she's definitely an angel, full of trichomes just like her sisters, very sweet terps, wish they would have been bigger so I could have applied lst much better but anyways. I'm very happy with this strain and I'm definitely looking forward to grow this strain in future grows as well, just because of the quality of the buds and the amazing terps she produces its worth it. Very happy. I have moved her with all of my last autoflowering plants of the season to finish indoors under LED hortiONE panels. Peace everybody! ✌️💚💎
