They are developing well and the smelling started to be a bit strong with gas terpenes from both strains.
I'll keep following the EC and their development to ensure they won't have any blocker.

3 day later the soil got dry, what it seems the watering cadence based on the pot size. They are going very well.
After talk with some friends and reviewing the plant status, I decided to keep follow the nutrient schedule and keep looking at them.
Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola 1 stopped stretching and should started the bulking phase, that's why the smelling is so strong.
On Strawberry Cola 1, I just remove some leafs that were covering the other branches. I, literally, removed 5 leafs.
Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg.

On Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, that was nothing receiving light and probably consuming plant's energy. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy.

As Strawberry Cola 2 is one week later than the others. So, it seems going to finish the stretching bloom phase.
As Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, also some ones in the middle, that wasn't receiving light and ambushing the middle overlapping the middle nodes. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy.

The defoliation on them also was done to improve the air circulation because my tent increased 1,5-2,0C. degrees with the season changing. Hopefully it can help to reduce a bit.
As the previous EC on them were between 5.1 and 6.1, it means that they are ok, consuming the nutrients and not blocked by high EC. Happy news!!

3 day later the soil got dry and they are going very well.
I'm keeping the strategy this week in order to levelling the EC on them. Seen they sucked a bit their development and some burns started to show on the leaf points, I decided to flush them a bit to correct the EC and continue the nutrients schedule correct.
I flushed them with 6L of RO water with PH corrected, each one. They reduced the EC to 2.0~3.4 and I added another schedule nutrients solution.
All water schedule below is after the flush.
Mango Cream
I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK.

I also did some defoliation on Strawberry Cola 2 to improve that light penetration and air circulation.

They definitely are in the bulk phase. The smell is crazy.
My flush strategy was successful and they are eating like a monster now and without any bad signals. Happy with the correction results.
I also increased the watering volume.
Mango Cream
I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse.

I did a slightly defoliation on the bottom leafs to improve air circulation.
This week is working in progress and should be update asap due the plants development.
Cheers!🍁🔥
