I'm using a 2x2x5 spider farmer tent and technically I start germination on 1/17/23 at 9pm and in the picture I'm using Rockwool but also a small pot with fox farm soil to hold it upright

This week the plants reacted very well to being moved outside. They are loving the natural sunlight. We planted a couple of dill weed close to them to attract some beneficial insects.

Feed Started With Tap Water Left Overnight For Chlorine/Chlorides To Evaporate. Next Day. Starting EC of our water is 0.10-0.15. I added 1ML of Regenaroot Per Litre. Then Used Canna Terra Flores Until EC measured 0.7. I then used the mighty bloom enhancer by the ml until my EC measured 1.3 Always Give A Little Sprinkle Of Great White Into The Mix Finally i PH'd the mix to 6.2. Made sure the feed was of adequate temp (21c) and continued to feed. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Straw-Lectric Lemonade-STRNG Seed W9 01/04-10 These strawberry collection gals are growing steady during this early stretch. I gave water only last week to contain the stretch. Based on their growth, I donโ€™t think it helped much. I also turned the lights down to 80%. Other than Cadillac1 all the plants look the same so I tied ribbons to the pots as identifiers for pictures. Kitties lost interest in my leaves, now is play with the pipe cleaners. Iโ€™ll have to tighten them up as I found one on the grow room floor. Strawberry Cadillac -Purple Straw-Trop Cherry-Red Straw-Lectric Lemonade-Yellow. 01/05 Supercrop Last week I indicated I might supercrop Cadillac1 since she is so tall. Well, you will see pics during the process of bending the stem and taping the position. I pinched the stem in my fingertips and rolled it a bit, then bent the stem, (notice the outer casing is not broken) applied tape to the joint to keep the branch from completely bending over. Each side had at least 3 nodes. 1/06 the side nodes on the branches have turned up and made more tops. All gals show the beginning of white hairs identifying they are female. 1/9 Strawberry Cadillac #1 46โ€ #2 37โ€œ Strawberry Trop Cherry #1 24โ€ #2 41โ€ Straw-Lectric Lemonade #1 33โ€ #2 35 A side note: Iโ€™m taking applications for Spring & Summer cabana boy positions when I go to the beach. Strawberry Cadillac has the big fans needed for the job. Important dates 11/9 Germination 11/25 Transplant to 1.5 gal, 12/1 Topped, Pinned and removed 2 large center leaves 12/5 Repositioned pins and removed lowest fan leaves 12/16 Topped 4 tops on each plant except Cadillac1 (first topping) and put manuka honey on the cut. 12/24 Transplant to 5 gal 12/27 Defoliate all 12/28 Flip to 12/12 01/05 Supercrop Cadillac #1 at the joint where I topped her. Stay green, growers love ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ’ซNatrona๐Ÿ’ซ

Very sad looking little friend... Young leaves do look better, but she's gonna stay looking like this because the damage was done! Underwatered and underfed for over a week over new years' plus the tiny metal pot, can't be good for a lil bean just trying to make it in the world. Even the plant of the same cultivar next to it (as you can see in video- but is my housemate's baby so no diary) is still recovering from the same fate. Will spend some time checking out other people's grows of the same bean to see if she's particularly finicky or if we've been particularly neglectful ๐Ÿ˜‚ still fun though!

๐ŸŒธ Week 7 Flower โ€“ 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 โ€” these girls are absolute monsters. โธป ๐ŸŒฑ The State of the Sisters โ€ข Pheno #1 โ€“ 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. Sheโ€™s showing phenomenal resin production, and her pistils are thick and curling. โ€ข Pheno #2 โ€“ 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. Sheโ€™s slightly behind Pheno #1 in maturity, but donโ€™t be fooled โ€” sheโ€™s a true powerhouse in her own right. The smell in the room is so strong that if it werenโ€™t for the carbon filters, weโ€™d probably be calling the fire department thinking someone baked 100 mango pies at once! ๐Ÿ˜… I mean the frost on these buds? Looks like Mother Nature had a snow day in the grow tent โ€” pure white crystals everywhere, like the plants are wearing winter coats in July! โ„๏ธ โธป ๐Ÿ”ฌ Trichome Watch โ€“ Macro Details Week 7 is all about trichomes. Hereโ€™s what weโ€™re seeing and monitoring: โ€ข Clear trichomes: Still present, mainly on the lower bud sites, indicating some time left before peak potency. โ€ข Cloudy/milky trichomes: The majority of bud surfaces are now showing full milkiness, a sign of peak THC potential. โ€ข Amber trichomes: Small percentages on the tips of pistils โ€” this is the first sign of cannabinol conversion, giving the slightly more sedative effect. ๐ŸŒฑ Educational takeaway: Trichome inspection is the golden key to deciding harvest timing. Macro photography helps us see nuances invisible to the naked eye. Weโ€™re aiming for a balance: mostly milky with a touch of amber for that perfect Mango Kush high. โธป ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding & Nutrition At this stage, feeding is minimal but precise โ€” we donโ€™t want to push excess nutrients, only support the plant as it finalizes resin and bud density: โ€ข 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. โธป ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment โ€ข Temps: 28โ€“30ยฐC, slightly warmer in the canopy under heavy buds. โ€ข Humidity: 50โ€“55% โ€” perfect for trichome development. โ€ข COโ‚‚: 620โ€“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. โธป ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting The lighting orchestra is still performing beautifully: โ€ข ThinkGrow Model One โ†’ penetrating the canopy โ€ข ThinkGrow ICL-300s โ†’ mid-canopy perfection โ€ข Future of Grow Black Series 600W โ†’ full-spectrum balance โ€ข Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro โ†’ evening out footprint Result: every bud site is kissed by light, maximizing sugar leaves and resin density. โธป ๐Ÿ”„ Recap โ€“ Seed to Here For anyone joining now, hereโ€™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 1โ€“3): Pistils forming, Power Buds introduced, lighting expanded, TrolMaster ecosystem established. 4. Mid Flower (Weeks 4โ€“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 โ€” the final week before harvest. โธป ๐Ÿ”ฎ What to Expect โœ… Expect: โ€ข Buds heavy and dense, needing support โ€ข Aroma extremely potent, filling the tent โ€ข Trichomes mostly milky, some amber โ€ข Sugar leaves sparkling with frost โŒ Donโ€™t expect yet: โ€ข Complete amber conversion (full sedative effect) โ€ข 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 โ€” patience will yield the perfect harvest. โธป ๐Ÿ™ 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 โ€” thank you for letting the plants reach their full potential. ๐Ÿ’š Growerโ€™s Reflection: These girls are monsters, monsters of beauty, resin, and aroma. Every macro shot shows why we love this process. And yesโ€ฆ if it werenโ€™t for the carbon filters, weโ€™d probably be evacuating the neighborhood from sheer Mango Kush smell! ๐Ÿ˜… Frosty, dense, magical โ€” week 7 Flower is everything I hoped for. ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Trust me, you wonโ€™t want to miss the next steps, letโ€™s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Letโ€™s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. ๐Ÿ’š Growers love to all ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ“Œ P.S. โ€“ About the Timeline A quick note for clarity: Mango Kush #1 and Mango Kush #2 are slightly offset in their flowering timeline โ€” thereโ€™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. ๐ŸŒฑ Rest assured: When harvest comes, weโ€™ll present a complete follow-up report covering harvest, dry, trim, cure, and smoke review โ€” highlighting each sisterโ€™s unique traits and final results. Honesty is part of the journey, and transparency helps everyone learn and apprecilove the full picture. ๐Ÿ’š Growers love to all ๐Ÿ’š

the girl went to the tent on the 69th, they predict very bad weather, which would probably cause her to rot, I will try to finish the growth in the tent, she has 14 days left and will be cut, I am going on vacation, so I am forced to do it a little earlier... In general, the girl is very it's healthy, it barely fit in the tent, so a fair amount of leaves were stuck to the edges of the tent, I've never seen anything like it, that people carry from nature to the tent - and not from it to nature :D it will be interesting to see how it all ends :) good luck:)

This plant has recovered from nutrient deficiency and is growing great. Doing lst everyday and plant is responding great. This is going to be a big girl. Still no signs of flower. The other NL from growers choice I grew took forever to flower also. Monday update - did a little defoliation. Looks a little thin. Should get fuller in a few days

Day 56. She has begun to swell. She has gotten a sweet skunky smell now. I may have had my Blurpie too close as the cola has started to foxtail. I kept the light at about 16 inches from the plant so I don't know if it is the combination of lights, or if she was gonna foxtail to begin with. Her branches are starting to sag, and I may have to stake a couple before it's through. I accidently cracked a branch when I was trying to pull two colas away from each other. I used surgical tape, and honey to repair it. The branch just pulled away from the stalk, and maybe separated a third of the way around the branch. She seems to have healed, and the branch hasn't shown any signs of trouble. If I had to guess, she may go 12 weeks, but she might be closer to 10. I got no idea yet... Happy farming!

Monday 16/06/2025, start of week 5. The stretch is underway and has been for a few days, happy with how she looks health-wise currently although I've made some mistakes along the way that she has had to recover from. i made one final tuck under the net on day 29 (17/06/2025) although it's not a proper scrog by any stretch of the imagination, it's helped keep the canopy level so the side branching could catch up, and I'm letting her go now, hoping she stretches a good 20-30cm but we will see. Day 30, fed at 1.2ec, was probably 12 hours late on the watering as she did not look happy at all, bounced straight back though once fed. Day 31, not much to report, a lighter shade on the newest growth but to be expected at this stage, I've pinched a few of the lower fan leaves over the last few days. Day 32 backed the lights off slightly as the leaves were looking a little light stressed. Day 34, fed with calmag and water only at 0.4 ec, forgot to ph it down but hopefully it won't matter too much in soil, she's had a good stretch over the last day or 2.
