new week flower power. noticed some rust spots on the Orange Apricot, so im thinking about maybe giving her some more calmag.. but i did dose her last week.. so in still not sure. but ive been fertilizing both of the plants in the wrong order.: we all learn hehe. been fert, water, water, water, when i should have been water, water, water, fertilizer… but anyhow, so far so good.. our orange apricot have really been growing 😅.. so used some lat clips to hold her down a bit

03.08.21 Moin Growmies hab mir in der letzten Woche Gedanken gemacht zu meinem Vorhaben mit den Tomatenringen und mir ist aufgefallen das die Ladys nicht Grad gleichmäßig wachsen ,das liegt sicherlich daran das ich Depp wieder schlauer sein wollte und ein paar Seitenäste dran gelassen habe sprich beim ersten topping hätte ich alles entfernen sollen bis auf die 2 Triebe von der 3. Nodie und ich hab die 2 nodie mit stehen lassen weil ich dachte ich bin schlauer 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬ich könnte mich selber schlagen für die Dummheit naja Ergebniss des ganzen ist ungleichmäßiges Wachstum somit kann ich die Sache mit den Tomaten Ringen vergessen.......... Hab jetzt aber mein System noch einmal überarbeitet andere Topferhöhung ( 2x alte Bilderrahmen aus Holz auf Paletten Balken geschraubt und mit Hühner Draht bespannt das ganze auf Steine gestellt damit ich ne Wanne darunter stellen kann für abtropfwasser) den Rahmen vom scrogg netzt wieder raus gesammelt und neu bespannt ( Rahmen 90x90 cm aus nem alten Pavillon Gestell zurecht gesägt und mit Zaun bespannt die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Rauten beträgt 6 cm sollte ausreichend Platz für die Triebe sein) habe das ganze gestern auf einer Höhe von 16 cm über dem Topfrand eingebaut mit Kabelbindern an den Zeltstangen befestigt somit hängt es an seiner Position fest und kann nicht von den Pflanzen hoch gedrückt werden wenn sie in die Blüte geht. Also is nun doch wieder ein sqrogg draus geworden aber den Ladys geht es insgesamt gut sie wachsen und gedeihen und wirken insgesamt gesund in den nächsten Wochen werde ich nun die Ladys in das netzt weben und Mal sehen was sie von scrogging Alla Milchschnitte halten. Ach ja die purps aus dem Garten sind anscheinend direkt nach dem umtopfen in den Stretch zur Blüte gegangen war ein bisschen spät dran fürs raus setzten aber lässt sich jetzt nicht ändern Mal sehen was draus wird,vll ja ein Gummibärchen Baum 😏😉 hab den outdoor Ladys gestern nen kleinen Regenschutz gebaut, is nicht der schönste aber er sollte seinen Zweck erfüllen damit der Topf Mal abtrocknen kann das Wetter ist seit fast 14 Tagen hart wechselhaft und der Topf noch nicht 1x richtig trocken gewesen das war's eigendlich was bis heut passiert ist cu Growmies und euch noch viel Erfolg........

Sorprendido gratamente del resultado final tanto de producción como de sabor/efecto.

This week was pretty stable with no major changes. The plants have stopped growing in height and they're developing more and more buds and trichomes. I only have one issue about leaves yellowing maybe there's a low humidity ratio, but I'm not sure because I do not have a measurer for that. Apart from that, I set the fan ventilator to maximum speed to increase stalks' width. I'm really curious how is gonna be in the next weeks the sight when you open the grow box and see (hopefully) bigger and healthier buds :)

Mango Kush – Week 4 Flower (Week 8 from Seed) The bulking begins: pistils, stacking, and balanced nutrition Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors (The ThinkRoulette ecosystem) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Bulking Mode Activated Week 4 is an important checkpoint in any bloom cycle. The Mango Kush sisters are no longer just “in flower”, they are now building flowers. Pistils are everywhere, thick and vibrant, forming the foundation for what will become dense, resin-packed buds. Both phenos are looking strong: • Pheno #1 – More advanced, pistil clusters stacking into early budlets, filling her frame with confidence. • Pheno #2 – A little behind, but catching up fast. She may have taken longer to flip (since she germinated later), but she’s now pushing out strong, healthy white hairs that signal the start of her bulking stage. This week’s studio and improvised studio photos capture this perfectly—the transition from “flower set” to flower building. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Simplifying for Strength This week, we made an important nutritional adjustment: • Removed: Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Aptus Top Booster • Kept: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why this change? At this stage, the super soil’s NPK balance (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) is already strong enough to sustain healthy growth and flower formation. Adding the All-in-One Liquid or Top Booster would risk redundancy, too much nutrient overlap can actually slow the plant down, cause salt build-up, or push her into unnecessary stress. By keeping only the boosters and biostimulants, we are: • Supporting flower stacking and density (Power Buds). • Enhancing terpene and resin production (Sugar Royal). • Adding a multi-function bloom enhancer (Green Sensation, famous for its late-flower results). • Maintaining structure, transport, and stress resistance (Regulator). • Keeping calcium and magnesium in check (CalMag Boost). 🌱 Educational takeaway: Week 4 is about controlled nutrition, not force-feeding. Too much input can overwhelm plants; the art is in balancing what the soil already provides with just enough supplements to guide the plant’s energy toward flowers. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Stability Matters The Mango Kush girls continue to thrive under the TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS ecosystem, giving live readings of: • Soil moisture (watering when ~19–20%) • EC levels (tracking buildup) • Temperature & RH (still peaking high at times, but stable airflow keeps the canopy safe) The ThinkRoulette ecosystem (TrolMaster + lighting synergy) has been running flawlessly, creating a stable and responsive environment. This consistency is what allows the girls to focus their energy on bulking rather than on fighting stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Canopy in Harmony The four-light setup continues to shine as a perfectly balanced orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Deep canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300s – Mid-canopy energy, no sites left behind. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Spectrum balance. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Evening out the footprint. Result: The canopy is even, pistils are popping from top to bottom, and no part of the plant is left in the dark. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Check-In – Mango Kush in Mid-Flower Mango Kush (Mango × Hindu Kush) is famous for her fruity-sweet aroma with earthy Kush undertones. Week 4 is where the genetic potential starts to show: • Bud structure is beginning to define itself—rounded calyx clusters forming the early shape. • Aroma is still light, but brushing against the plants gives faint hints of fruit and spice. • Phenotypic difference: Pheno #1 is flowering earlier and faster, while Pheno #2 lags a week behind. This may result in staggered harvest windows, giving two slightly different expressions of the same strain. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ What to Expect in Week 4–5: • Noticeable bud bulking. • Rapid calyx development, pistil clusters getting denser. • First trichomes appearing under macro view. • Water demand increasing steadily. • Early terpene hints becoming stronger week by week. ❌ What Not to Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (that comes around Week 5–6). • Major resin frosting (Week 5 onward). • Final bud density or color changes (those happen in later bloom). Educational takeaway: Patience is key. Week 4 is about building structure. The “icing” (frost, density, aroma explosion) comes later. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – The Journey • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretched tall, Pheno #2 filled out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12 → stretch begins. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Bloom boosters introduced, lights upgraded. • Week 7 (Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, pistils everywhere, irrigation system added. • Week 8 (Now, Flower Week 4): Bulking stage, pistils thick and abundant, nutrition simplified, environment stable. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the community—thank you for following along, for sharing knowledge, and for keeping the love of cultivation alive. These reports are more than just grow logs, they are learning tools, and together we’re documenting the journey of two Mango Kush sisters from seed to flower. And to the gear, the TrolMaster, the ThinkRoulette ecosystem, and the full lighting orchestra, you make this possible. Technology doesn’t grow the plant, but it empowers the grower to let the plant reach her full potential. ⸻ 📸 This week’s highlight: Studio and improvised studio shots capturing the moment where flower set becomes flower build. ✨ In short: Week 4 Flower is the week of foundations. The pistils are thick, the flowers are forming, and the stage is set for resin and density in the weeks to come. 📲 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. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2 A quick note on the sisters’ timelines: • Pheno #1 remains ahead—already deep in flower, stacking pistils fast and showing more advanced bud formation. • Pheno #2, while it started later, is catching up beautifully. Her pistils are now bursting and forming thick clusters, but she still sits a bit behind her sister. This difference is natural: Pheno #2 germinated later and is effectively running on a slightly younger internal clock. The 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 hours off) means she is easing into flower at her own rhythm. 👉 What this means: Both plants are thriving, but don’t expect them to bulk or finish at the same exact time. This staggered development could actually be a gift—two harvest windows, two terpene expressions, one journey. Educational takeaway: Even seeds from the same strain can flower on different schedules. Rather than forcing uniformity, let each phenotype tell its story. Patience reveals the full genetic spectrum. 🌿 Grower’s Note “This week felt like the real beginning of bloom. The room is alive—white hairs, bulking pistils, and that early whisper of aroma that promises so much more to come. Pheno #1 leads the charge, Pheno #2 follows on her own time, and together they remind me that growing is not about control, but about partnership. The plants teach us patience, and in return, we give them care.”

Once again had no issues had very good growth on all my plants, mother plant seems to use about 12/15l of water every 4 days just have to keep on top of that. Topping I did couple of weeks ago went a bit side ways as some plants seem to have 3 nodes at the top some how, Think is will be the last week in veg going to change light times next week to start flower, What would people’s views be on defoliation on the before flower should I do it now while there in veg or when I change the light cycle

11/30 Starting the week a day early have things to do tomorrow. Fed @6.5PH 1 gal w/ 15ml Bio-Bloom 5ml Bio-Grow 5ml Fish Sh!t The new bud explosion after the Recharge encouraged us to feed heavier than we would, seems to be working. Either way this is the week. Giving her a couple more days she what she can do. 12/3 Harvest day tomorrow and her great adventure ends

Flowering day 25 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) . The ladies are developing more and more beautiful and fat week after week 😊. The tent fills up perfectly 👌. I removed the bottom shoots to allow the energy to flow to the top buds. This week it was watered 3 times with 1.3 l each (nutrients see table above) Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.

Start of week 6!! One more week until flip All pits have been brought back up to ph range in the 6s

Hello! For this setup i´ll use Optic 1 XL in a 80cmx80cm tent, (indoor grow), with temperature, humidity and air flow controled... Have heard great things about Real Cookies and now it´s time to grow it! Have successfully germinated 2 seeds out of 2 using the easy start kit from RQS, 100 % rate! (made a DIY box and used the wireless router to keep it warm) Notice this seeds have sprouted in less than 48h it´s a personal record to me! I´m using Janeco light mix and prepared the soil with the the easy boost organic nutrition before reporting the seedlings... It´s time to turn on the lights and let the mother nature do the magic!

This cycle was all along a great pleasure. The plants developed MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED, the result under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED lamps from SANlight is FANTASTIC. I have NEVER harvested more from plants of the same strain under HPS and the quality of the bud (trichomes, taste aroma) is MUCH BETTER when grown under LED, my decision is definitely made, I will continue to solemnly grow with LED-lights in the future. I harvested 2250 gram of Shiva Skunk and 3009 gram of Serious Kush, that a total amount of 5259 gram. In relation to the 3000 Watts (incl. dimmed part!) power of the LED-lights thats an AMAZING 1,753 gram per Watt.

Cantaloupe haze needed a good flush brought runoff from 2000 ppm to 1100ppm will continue to monitor.

The Apple Cup hermied this week along with the Baker's Dozen. Fortunately Tropicanna Poison is flowering so fast that it seems to be unbothered by the hermies next to it. The hermied plants will be stunted as more energy will be focused on developing pollen/seeds. Also I'll have to chop them down early before any seeds begin to solidify within the buds. It's ideal to immediately remove any hermies as soon as pollen sacs are spotted. Unfortunately I only have my small closet space so I decided to leave them and observe the growth of hermies.

So she is growing a lot but not in height so I'm not taking the topping / defoliation this week yet. I'm guessing they are going to grow slowly so I'm extending the bloom phase until I'm happy with the height. I had to add some taps to control the flow on my irrigation system. It looks even cooler now.

Everything was good they recovered well from training. Cranked the power up to 60 percent and raised the light.

Day 36 of flower
