This week beacause of the difficulty in controling the water temperatures and tent humidity we had early signs of pythium in the auto flower. So i treated it with one hour of 8ml per liter of H2O2 and changed the reservoir for new nutes and 0.5ml/L of H2O2, instead of great white. Besides that, everything's ok and the other 2 plants are starting to root. If the others start to show signs of root rot as well, ill change the whole grow from great white to H2O2. The Apple&Bazookiez showed signs from the beginning of a mutation. Have one strange looking leaf and 3/4 branch of shoots on the top, without any damaging, fimming or topping. Good week, good grows

Man any strain I grow from @fastbuds has the best all around terps of any auto flowering plant I have grown yet . They have strong genetics and a great customer service as well I've never been let down . To be honest when I popped this seed I knew she was special it cracked and got moving do quick that it was evident she wanted to grow . She was put into a 3 gallon fabric pot with living soil . I used NextGen soil out of Sudbury and the stuff is amazing. This whole grow was organic and the plant was at one point near death . I had over watered and let her go to the point that I wasn't sure she would make it . But she did and outperformed my expectations completely . The buds are long and dense with lots of trichomes . The way I fixed my issue was way less water and a couple top feeds of an organic flowering mix . The strength in this plant to turn around and come back strong like that was super impressive like no slow in growth and no hermies or lack of bud Growth . The newest strains that keep coming out are fire and I'm very happy to be able to try these at all . The next round of autos I do will again be of the fastbuds company . This plant in the end is around days 85 from seed and had it been trained better and more wattage could have been a super monster plant .. cheers and happy growing ..keep their plant going it's medical for so many people. Update smoke report - the plant cured nicely and the buds are hard with decent trichomes ! Not the sticky buds I expected but she was dried a little to long and so it's to be expected 🤣.. but in all honesty it's a great plant for bubble hash and I'm putting it into the hash bag mix for washing can't wait .. again cheers to fastbuds for letting me try their new strains cheers

11/21/2020 Soaked in water 24 hours all seed fell to bottom, put in paper towel over night and 6 out of 10 have sprouted. In this cross I will be looking for powdery mildew immunity first and foremost. ( goal achieved see week 15) Also hope to make cookie cake stretch more and bring a sativa influence. 11/28/2020 One week old today 5 out of 10, 6th sprout had stem rot 60% germination. Now hope for 3 girls at least 🙏

Week 9 : Day 59 : Hey all So week 9 started and some of the lady’s are bulking up , like Westcoast O.G and some of the Strawberry Pie . But the Westcoast O.G in the picture gonna be first one to harvest and also gonna give me some fat dense buds , i can see that clearly 🤤. About the Gelatos I am a bit dissapointed cause all of them 3 are like normal plants with no strong structure or a big yield sign . I hope the taste gonna prove me wrong cause I like this strains , one of my favorites . I also can’t wait to try this Westcoast O.G and Strawberry Pie again , I growed them both on one of my last runs and they turned out pretty good , especially Strawberry Pie 🍓. I hoping for a 25-30 g per plant , but I guess this gonna be a hard one this time. Like my Gorilla Glue the only one Sativa in the tent but also the slowest in growing flower and she’s eaten much lesser than the her indica sisters . But wow she got s crazy fruity smell with full of crystals on her . Cream Cookies she growed so fast in the last week , that she has come close to the other ones . I think this strain is a very fast bloomer , my last one was ready on day 69 from seed to harvest with a good amount of amber . Also a very flavoury strain 🍪 Yesterday I started to feed them Batguano , this should bring some green healthy leafs again and fat smelly buds . My first Chem on the picture is really hungry right now , I started a bit late for her but this should be ok . Updates coming

This weeks been strong switched the nutrients on em! They’ve been getting use to them and starting to stretch!! Been defoliating when I can I’m nervous to do too much! But there’s good air flow in the tent! 🔥 it’s been hot out here in the desert so I might get another bag for co2 read that will help the plants deal with the heat!

420Fastbuds FBT2305 Week 8 What up grow fam. Weekly update on these redheads. They both are almost identical in size, structure, and smell. Really excited to see what will come of these two in the coming weeks. I'll keep up everything the same as the plants seem to be responding excellent to nutes every 3rd feeding. I might do a mild defoliation in the coming week to allow more light to lower flower sites. All in all Happy Growing.

Started flush now. I'm adding Nature Delight Active Sugar Boost as it's been recommended to boost terpene production. No idea if it will work this late into flower but trying anyway as apparently it has no need to be flushed and is fully organic.

Se nos fue un poco de altura pero intentaremos arreglar el error farmers... al final quedo simplemente en podas apicales y de momento ramas muy finas. Iremos comentando el proceso Farmers!🍁

Шишки набухают прямо на глазах, и это меня несомненно радует. На этой неделе случился небольшой форс-мажор, в доме прорвало трубу, резко упало давление подачи воды, и пока "водоканал" устранял проблему, у меня не наполнялся бак обратного осмоса. Пришлось три дня поливать чем попало(отстоянная вода из под крана, покупная). И сразу показатели РРМ поползли вверх, пришлось промыть в конце недели с FloraKleen. А какой водой вы поливаете свои растения? На следующей неделе буду исключать базовое питание - выходим на предфинишную прямую. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Day one of flower for the London Pound Cake and Purple Shah. I moved the Blueberry Muffin into another veg tent for a week or two. They’re early finishers so when I move them back everything should harvest around a similar timeline. Fed them all with an Organic Alf Alfa seed sprout fermentation. The triacantanol in the Alf Alfa makes these things go crazy if you don’t overdo it. Add some coconut water and aloe and youve got yourself organic plant steroids. The growth rate will cause you to have an increased need for ca mg and nutrients which in organics may not be readily available. Top dress or feed ahead of the curve.

🌸 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.

This strain was only topped in early veg and trained a little bit with LST. After 5 weeks of veg i removed the LST cords and just let her go and what a bush she was, very fat dense heads everywhere, bottom buds also rockhard. I used no boosters just organic nutrients from start to finish in pure coco

She is growing bigger and bigger buds are everywhere, did not expect that size and my room size is on his limits with this plant, she would be perfect for heavy LST. Once she will be ready for harvest she will be a beast covered in fat juicy bud shining like diamonds.
