By the looks of things they appear to have between two and three weeks to go from now on no nutrients will be used on them only pH water .they have been growing very big and huge with very big buds hybrid looking flower with an incredible nice aroma. I just wanted to mention a note for my readers and is that the weeks that the breeder give as time for flowering starts not when you flip the plant to 12 12 hours but when the first flowers appear you start counting as Week 1 usually it takes two weeks for them to start flowering I thought it was an interesting note to put out there so when you are buying seeds you take that into consideration. The plant has been truly delightful to grow easy with no issues . Thank you for reading and will continue to update have a happy grow

Alright, week 8! Blueberry, the healthy one, looks just fine! Im looking a lot forward too see this tall plant get done. The sick one, seems like it has some normal growth, but i am just unsure of the outcome of the quality of the buds.. lsd-25 is still looking great and will be harvested in a week or 2. I will probably start flushing this week. Day 54: found some little orange egg-looking things in the buds of one og the lsd plants. I removed it and cross my fingers it will stay away. The lsd’s also show some minor signs of nute burn, and the other one is a bit light green on some leaves. I found plants that acted similar in other diaries, but for now i gave straight water

This week started strong. Some small concerns due to small orange spots appearing on fan leaves which on researching indicates a calcium/magnesium deficiency. Will add a small amount of cal mag to their next feed

alarm!! something went wrong the leaves hang down a lot on the vroder plant. it hardly smells like grass but only like wet hay. the tubers look a little shriveled up in the front ones. I have the feeling that she is already overripe but can't really say because it's my first grow. I urgently need good advice

03/23/25: I’m very pleased with the progression of this grow so far. All five plants are showing consistent and vigorous growth, and each one has maintained the same level of vigor and size relative to the others since sprouting. This consistency is a good early sign of genetic stability and uniform structure, which will help with canopy management as we move further into veg. At this point, each plant is developing its 4th and 5th nodes, which is a key marker in early vegetative growth. Once the 5th node is fully established, I’ll consider topping or training, depending on the growth structure and the phenotype expression of each plant. After removing the humidity domes last week, I noticed that the first set of true leaves—which had been sitting in high humidity—developed browning on the edges. This is a common reaction when leaves are exposed to open air after having retained too much surface moisture. Fortunately, this issue was limited to the oldest leaf set. All new growth has adjusted perfectly to the environment inside the tent, showing healthy development and no further signs of stress. The plants’ deep green color indicates that they are receiving sufficient nitrogen, which is essential during this stage of growth. Additionally, some of the larger fan leaves are beginning to curl slightly inward, which may look concerning at first, but is actually a natural response to airflow. The plants are adjusting to the oscillating fan in the tent—modifying their leaf shape to be more aerodynamic. This airflow helps: • Strengthen stem tissue through gentle mechanical stress • Promote root zone development as the plant adjusts its internal resource allocation • Increase resilience to environmental fluctuations So far, no roots are visible at the bottom of the starter pots, but I expect them to show in the next couple of days. As soon as they do, I’ll transplant each plant into 1-gallon AirPots. AirPots encourage rapid root pruning and horizontal expansion, which leads to more efficient nutrient uptake and a healthier root system. Once the transplant into AirPots is complete, I’ll provide a full update along with new photos showing their root development, new environment, and how they respond post-transplant. Everything is looking on track, and I’m excited to see how each of these phenotypes continues to express themselves over the next phase. 03/25/25: Today I relocated all five plants from the 2x2 seedling tent into their permanent home: the 4x4 AC Infinity grow tent. This is an important environmental shift, so I’m allowing the plants some time to adjust before making any further changes like transplanting. They’re now sitting under the AC Infinity S44 grow light, which is currently set to 20% power. The light is positioned 24 inches (approximately 61 cm) above the canopy. According to my budget PAR meter, the plants are receiving around 350 PPFD, which is a safe and effective intensity for young vegging plants still acclimating to their new space. Although the original plan was to transplant them into 1-gallon AirPots around this time, I’ve decided to delay that by a couple of days. Environmental shifts—like new lighting, airflow patterns, and spatial layout—can stress young plants, so I want to give them time to adjust before introducing transplant stress. This move also gave me a chance to set up the AC Infinity AI+ Controller, which I won in a contest last year (huge thanks to AC Infinity). So far, my first impressions are positive: • Setup was just as smooth as their other controllers. • It’s already doing a great job managing the environment passively. • I haven’t explored all of its automation features yet, but I’m excited to see how much precision it can offer, especially for managing VPD and dialing in climate conditions throughout veg and flower. Once the plants have had time to settle into the new environment, I’ll transplant them into their 1-gallon AirPots and provide a full update with photos.

The plants are starting to recover from the N excess 2 weeks ago, this delayed a bit the starting of flower from some plants but im sure that the rest of flowering will be ok, i gave only water this week and applied a small amount of guanokalong nutrients as these are slowly absorbed to ensure the plant continues to receive some nutrients until next 2 weeks when we will start to give some extra PK

🌸 Week 7 Flower – Crystals, Aromas & Monster Buds Welcome, friends, to the final pre-harvest chapter for our Mango Kush sisters. Week 7 Flower is where everything comes together: weight, density, aroma, and frost. And let me tell you — these girls are absolute monsters. āø» 🌱 The State of the Sisters • Pheno #1 – The trailblazer. Her colas are enormous, dense, and sparkling like snowy peaks under the lights. The macro shots reveal a glittering layer of trichomes, covering buds, sugar leaves, and even little fan leaves near the canopy. She’s showing phenomenal resin production, and her pistils are thick and curling. • Pheno #2 – The younger sister, but catching up fast. Her buds are dense and sticky, the frost is appearing more heavily, and every macro shot reveals the same dazzling crystal coverage. She’s slightly behind Pheno #1 in maturity, but don’t be fooled — she’s a true powerhouse in her own right. The smell in the room is so strong that if it weren’t for the carbon filters, we’d probably be calling the fire department thinking someone baked 100 mango pies at once! šŸ˜… I mean the frost on these buds? Looks like Mother Nature had a snow day in the grow tent — pure white crystals everywhere, like the plants are wearing winter coats in July! ā„ļø āø» šŸ”¬ Trichome Watch – Macro Details Week 7 is all about trichomes. Here’s what we’re seeing and monitoring: • Clear trichomes: Still present, mainly on the lower bud sites, indicating some time left before peak potency. • Cloudy/milky trichomes: The majority of bud surfaces are now showing full milkiness, a sign of peak THC potential. • Amber trichomes: Small percentages on the tips of pistils — this is the first sign of cannabinol conversion, giving the slightly more sedative effect. 🌱 Educational takeaway: Trichome inspection is the golden key to deciding harvest timing. Macro photography helps us see nuances invisible to the naked eye. We’re aiming for a balance: mostly milky with a touch of amber for that perfect Mango Kush high. āø» šŸ’§ Feeding & Nutrition At this stage, feeding is minimal but precise — we don’t want to push excess nutrients, only support the plant as it finalizes resin and bud density: • Just water lol the rest they can find in soil and else were Educational takeaway: Week 7 feeding is about support, not growth. The girls have all the energy stored; now we just help them transform it into resin, aroma, and density. āø» šŸŒ”ļø Environment • Temps: 28–30°C, slightly warmer in the canopy under heavy buds. • Humidity: 50–55% — perfect for trichome development. • COā‚‚: 620–650 ppm, steady, helping photosynthesis and sugar production. Observation: Trichome production loves a slightly drier mid-to-late flower environment. Too much humidity can reduce resin and promote mold on dense buds. āø» šŸ’” Lighting The lighting orchestra is still performing beautifully: • ThinkGrow Model One → penetrating the canopy • ThinkGrow ICL-300s → mid-canopy perfection • Future of Grow Black Series 600W → full-spectrum balance • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro → evening out footprint Result: every bud site is kissed by light, maximizing sugar leaves and resin density. āø» šŸ”„ Recap – Seed to Here For anyone joining now, here’s the full journey of our Mango Kush sisters: 1. Seed germination: Smooth, fast, with Aptus Start Booster. 2. Vegetative stage: Strong branching, two phenos selected, transplanted into super soil + Aptus Mycor-Mix. 3. Early Flower (Weeks 1–3): Pistils forming, Power Buds introduced, lighting expanded, TrolMaster ecosystem established. 4. Mid Flower (Weeks 4–6): Bulking, simplified nutrition, aroma starting, trichomes appearing, All-in-One Liquid and CalMag adjustments. 5. Week 7: Buds heavy, frost everywhere, aroma exploding, trichomes mostly milky with hints of amber — the final week before harvest. āø» šŸ”® What to Expect āœ… Expect: • Buds heavy and dense, needing support • Aroma extremely potent, filling the tent • Trichomes mostly milky, some amber • Sugar leaves sparkling with frost āŒ Don’t expect yet: • Complete amber conversion (full sedative effect) • Final cured aroma or flavor (only post-harvest) Educational takeaway: Week 7 is the climax of flower maturation. Now is the time to inspect, support, and admire — patience will yield the perfect harvest. āø» šŸ™ Gratitude To the GrowDiaries community: thank you for joining this journey from seed to near-harvest. The sisters have taught us patience, observation, and joy in every stage. To the gear: TrolMaster, ThinkGrow, Lumatek, Future Of Grow with the Black Series — thank you for letting the plants reach their full potential. šŸ’š Grower’s Reflection: These girls are monsters, monsters of beauty, resin, and aroma. Every macro shot shows why we love this process. And yes… if it weren’t for the carbon filters, we’d probably be evacuating the neighborhood from sheer Mango Kush smell! šŸ˜… Frosty, dense, magical — week 7 Flower is everything I hoped for. šŸ“² Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. šŸ’š Growers love to all šŸ’š šŸ“Œ P.S. – About the Timeline A quick note for clarity: Mango Kush #1 and Mango Kush #2 are slightly offset in their flowering timeline — there’s about a week difference in their development. For the purpose of GrowDiaries, this Week 7 Flower report combines both sisters to provide a full picture of the tent and the ongoing bloom. While Mango Kush #1 is slightly ahead, and #2 a bit behind, this report reflects both in their mid-to-late flowering stage. Why combine them now? GrowDiaries updates are sometimes tricky, and combining the sisters allows us to share their progress together, making it easier for readers to follow the story and observe the similarities and differences. 🌱 Rest assured: When harvest comes, we’ll present a complete follow-up report covering harvest, dry, trim, cure, and smoke review — highlighting each sister’s unique traits and final results. Honesty is part of the journey, and transparency helps everyone learn and apprecilove the full picture. šŸ’š Growers love to all šŸ’š

11/30: I fed them today and supercropped the taller one a little bit. Just trying to encourage her lowers to compete for apical dominance. I raised the lights another few inches 12/1: I raised the lights about a foot because of a couple of taller plants, so these girls and most of the others are on a platform so as to be within 15 inches of the lights. Their platforms are some of the shortest, and I think they're about to catch up with the others.šŸ‘ 12/2: Busy with life...didn't do much. Very cold days, so the high temp in the closet was 72f todayšŸ‘ˆ 12/4: Switched to 13/11....afraid of it taking too long to flower and ending up with a bunch of pain in the ass 5-footers..

🌱 Semana 3 desde germinación – Ajustes clave. Entramos en la semana 3 desde germinación y esta semana hemos hecho varios cambios importantes para empezar a empujar el crecimiento. šŸ”¹ Riego y fertilización. Esta semana hemos aumentado la cantidad de fertilizantes, subiendo la EC del riego hasta 0.8. AdemĆ”s, hemos cambiado la estrategia de riego: Riegos mĆ”s cortos y continuos Objetivo: subir la EC del suelo, que estaba bastante baja šŸ“‰ EC suelo inicio semana: 0.5 šŸ“ˆ EC suelo final semana 3: 1.2 Este control ha sido posible gracias al sensor 3-en-1 del kit GGS AC5 de Spider Farmer, que nos estĆ” facilitando muchĆ­simo el ajuste fino del cultivo. šŸ”¹ Próximos riegos. A partir de ahora, en los siguientes riegos aƱadiremos Atazyme de Atami a la tabla, para mejorar la actividad radicular y ayudar a asimilar mejor los nutrientes. šŸ”¹ Iluminación y clima. Hemos subido la potencia del LED Spider Farmer SF2000 301H EVO al 75%, lo que ha provocado Un ligero aumento de la temperatura ambiente Mejor intensidad lumĆ­nica para esta fase de crecimiento Por ahora las plantas estĆ”n respondiendo bien a los cambios, con un verde sano y crecimiento constante. Seguimos ajustando poco a poco, sin prisas pero sin pausas šŸ’ŖšŸŒæ
