Mango Kush – Week 2 Flower (Week 6 from Seed) Bloom boosters, high temps, new lights, and a little tribute to nature Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: Full TrolMaster ecosystem (Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors and more) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 2 Flower – Transition Mode The Mango Kush sisters are looking absolutely stunning, even if this week was busier for me and I only managed a few photos. 🌱 Instead, I recorded a video walkthrough so everyone can see the whole room vibe, happy, lush, and full of energy. Both phenos are pushing beautifully into flower: • Pheno #1: Taller, branchy, already stretching into her flower frame. • Pheno #2: Started later, but catching up fast, morphing gracefully into bloom. The morphology shift is very visible this week, especially with the introduction of new bloom-focused nutrients. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – The New Recipe This week we swapped Start Booster → Top Booster and introduced a few Plagron classics to complement the Aptus base: Water Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 1 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml We paused All-in-One Liquid for now, letting the slow-release pellets in the super soil do their work. The idea: less redundancy, more synergy. 💡 Experiment in Progress: I’ve used Plagron successfully in the past, but this is my first time weaving their trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) into an Aptus base. It’s improvisation, yes, but that’s where discoveries are made. Let’s see how the Mango Kush girls respond! ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Riding the Highs • Temps: Sometimes peaking at 34°C (🌬️ AC unit on the way soon!) • Humidity: 60–70% at times • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • Soil Moisture: Watering when down to 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor → feeding me EC, moisture, and root zone data in real time ⚠️ It’s not a “perfect” VPD chart this week, but the Mango Kush girls are handling it like champs. Sometimes stress teaches resilience, and these ladies are showing strength. ⸻ 💡 Lighting the Room The canopy is now supported by a serious multi-light orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Main engine, full spectrum power • ThinkGrow ICL-300 – Inner canopy lights bringing energy to lower branches, helping all bud sites shine • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Supporting spectrum balance • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Newly added, boosting the footprint and canopy penetration Together, this creates an even distribution of photons across the room, minimizing shadow zones and preparing the girls for heavy bloom stacking. ⸻ 🧠 TrolMaster Ecosystem – Grow Room Brain The Tent-X controller, paired with WCS substrate sensors, has become my right hand: • Live feedback on soil moisture, EC, temp, and RH • Smarter watering decisions (no guessing, just data) • Automation ready → The dream of a fully self-regulating grow room is coming closer For now, I still hand-water, but soon automation will take over. Until then, it’s hands-on love every day. ⸻ 🐝 A Tribute to Bees – Nature’s Pollinators While we manage indoor canopies with LEDs and controllers, let’s not forget the simple magic of nature. Outdoors, it’s the bees that keep the cycle of life moving. One photo I’m sharing this week is of a bee pollinating a flower, a reminder that without them, much of our food (and medicine) would vanish. Bees are not just workers; they are guardians of biodiversity. 🌍💛 Let’s honor them in every grow, even indoors, where they cannot reach. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – From Seed to Now • Week 0–2: Germination & seedling stage, Aptus Start Booster for early vigor • Week 3–4: Veg growth, branching in Pheno #1, Pheno #2 catching up • Week 5: Flip to flower, stretch begins, PPFD raised to 766 • Week 6 (Now): Morphology shift, bloom boosters added, lights upgraded, temps testing resilience The Mango Kush girls have evolved beautifully every step of the way , two different phenos, one journey, one story. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next • AC installation → stabilize temps into the sweet 26–28°C range • Closer monitoring of Plagron + Aptus synergy → expect denser flowers • Watch for first true pistils and bud formation in Week 3 Flower • More light power on standby as the canopy fills out ⸻ 📹 This week’s highlight: A video tour of the full room (since fewer photos this time). 📸 A few shots are included to show just how happy the Mango Kush girls are. 🌱 Thank you everyone for reading, learning, and growing along with us!

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S.- Why These Plagron Additives? – A Deep Dive I’ve decided to complement the Aptus base with three Plagron boosters. Each one has its own role in the flowering process, and together they form a very balanced support system for the Mango Kush ladies. 🌸 Power Buds (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Early flowering stimulator • What it does: Power Buds encourages the plant to initiate bud development faster. It shortens the “transition phase” from veg into bloom, helping flowers form sooner and more consistently across the canopy. • Why now: We’re in Week 2 Flower, the exact point where we want to signal the plants: “It’s time to build flowers.” Power Buds sends that hormonal nudge. ⸻ 🍯 Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Enhances resin, aroma, and stress resistance • What it does: Sugar Royal contains amino acids that stimulate the plant to produce more chlorophyll and secondary metabolites. In plain terms: richer terpene profile, stickier resin, stronger smell, deeper taste. • Extra benefit: It also reduces stress from heat or drought, very useful right now since our temps have been spiking up to 34°C. • Why now: As stretch continues, plants need to stay strong and not waste energy on stress. Sugar Royal helps them thrive despite less-than-ideal VPD. ⸻ 💎 Green Sensation (1 ml/L) • Purpose: All-in-one bloom enhancer for the second half of flower • What it does: Green Sensation is a powerful 4-in-1 booster that improves: • Flowering: denser, heavier buds • Resin production: frostier flowers • Nutrient uptake: more efficient feeding • Soil health: stimulates beneficial microbial activity • Why now: Even though it shines brightest in late flower, starting early allows the soil ecosystem and plant metabolism to adapt gradually. By the time we hit peak bloom, the system is fully primed. ⸻ 🌱 How They Work Together • Power Buds → Kickstarts flower sites • Sugar Royal → Enhances resilience + resin quality • Green Sensation → Boosts density and overall flower performance The trio works like a team of specialists: one accelerates the start, one polishes the quality, and one pushes yield potential. Combined with the Aptus base (Regulator for strength, CalMag Boost for structure, Top Booster for bloom push), it’s a balanced, experimental, but very promising recipe. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

DAY 27, most of the plants are flowering, LST works so well. I'm worried because some of them seems to have advance, I don't think the buds should be that big for their age, maybe the heat stress made them flowering faster ? Moreover, some plants have their lower leaves turning yellow, I don't know what it is, give them nutrients once every 2 watering and I'm being very light with the amount of nutrients. Ordered 2 cooltubes, one for each light, it will help to cool down the room, gotta pick them up at the store and use them today. DAY 33, I followed your advices guys and added a bit of each nutrients for their deficiencies, don't know exactly if it was Ca, Mg or N deficiency but I can tell how better they are ! Water pH between 6,2 and 6,5 with 3acid down, hygro 55%. Because of the lower hygro for flowering stage, temp is going higher, I'll try my best to take care of them because another heat wave is coming... Thinking about reducing the light time to 12/12

another resin monster from seedstockers, with a very special scent, full of flavors! grinded it smelled like peppermint, and vaped it has a great sweet creamy taste!

Big shoutout to GD user BeanswithPork for the slick hookup. Love to the growmies @Fast_Buds I will run a guantlet of all your 2020 strains through my glass back to back in one take. Will tell you which ones get me high. Accept my challenge? Send me a hoodie, i will acquire the nugs.

Frosty Frosty Frosty! To be a bunch of bag seeds I am beyond happy so far! Have not had very many problems, they have been great with LST and defoliation!

Week 7 Update I really love these Autos! They smell amazing 😍. So I think the purple pheno is have is a banana purple punch, it looks very much like one. You guys can let me know what you think. My Groilla Cookies is growing nicely, I can see she's fattening up. My other 2 to the back are starting to fatten up as well. They are about a week and some days behind. They started to flower late so I'm looking forward to seeing them fatten up. The Purple pheno will probably be the first to harvest. She's showing some fast growth compared to the others. See yall next week! Don't for get to use my code STLVDXW for an extra 15% off your next order at fast buds #fastbuds

20/01/2025 Seedlings have definitely grown in size! Bottom watered again today. Mixed 3L solution of Calmag, Growell Plus 8:8:8, Seaweed extract (2ml / 1ml / 1ml) and watered 1L per pot. Solution was sucked dry from tray relatively fast, guess the roots are growing. 21/01/2025 Measured PPFD / DLI today and found that my existing light had a relatively low ppfd value output. Reading 50 plus PPFD / 4.5 DLI at 24 inch height 75% power, generating insane amounts of heat if the grow tent is closed. Thing is the max ppfd is about 150 at 24 inches. Can't bring down the lights more without potentially causing light burn due to the high DLI low ppfd ratio. Fortunately I have the tent in a temperature controlled room so I had to leave the tent open to ensure there was good airflow cooling down the excess heat without causing too much of a temp shift. Managed to bring up the humidity by adding a larger humidifier maintaining 60 to 70 % range. Did myself a favour and ordered the vivosun aerolight a200se to go along with the rest of the vivosun kit. Hoping it arrives by week 3! Besides this, seedlings look healthy, did some foliar feeding with homemade wood vinegar (5ml to 1L) after lights out. 22/01/2025 I almost killed my plants with light lol. Turns out my existing light was putting up alright dishing out 1200 pfd from 24 inches at max. I noticed some skewed reading when I was tilting my phone screen so decided to take off the screen protector and damn.. ppfd was at 800 ppfd! It was the screen protector not the lights 😆 Since there were no signs of yellowing or wilting I decided to keep it at 400 ppfd. Bottom watered with 1L each of (2ml CalMag / 1ml Growell Plus 8:8:8 / 1ml Seaweed to 3L phed to 5.9) had about 100 ml excess after waiting for 10 mins so I drained out the excess. 23/01/2025 Fortunately my blunder with the lights didn't cost me too much. Plants still looking healthy, 3rd set of true leaves opening up.

Her aroma it's just super cheesy,I love the autoflowers from this seedbank they have amazing and original aromas and flavors,she's not gonna ve very productive however I love how she smell it's gonna be a pleasure to taste.

2 março - 8 março -------------------------------- 3 março: primeiro dia de lst 4 março - foram alimentadas com 1l de água Alimentação cheese #2: RJ - 1.5ml; bioheaven - 0.5ml; calmag 0.3ml; acti-vera 0.5ml 8 março cheese #1 e #2 feeding: Biogrow 1 ml; bio heaven 2ml; acti-vera 2ml pH 6.3

Ajusted the fertilizer ratios to meet more optimal solution.

4 Seedlings in 10cm pots each holding approx half a litre of BioBizz light mix soil for a few weeks before potting up into their final pots in BioBizz all mix soil... Planning first lot of Nutes this week so they don’t go hungry, using BioBizz Grow, planning to dilute down to 25% less than the recommended dose for the first week. Second lot of Nutes gone in 1st Sep still @ 25% of recommended dose..

22.08.: Die Blütewoche 3 beginnt. Ich bin noch bis Ende der Woche im Urlaub, sodass ich vom Anfang der Woche leider kein Material hab. Sobald ich wieder zuhause bin, werde ich ein aktuelles Update geben. Ich bin schon sehr gespannt, wie sie sich entwickelt haben, aber fest steht die G41 ist nen ordentliches Gerät geworden. Das Nächste Update kommt dann entweder am 25. oder am 26. Höhe Pflanze: PBB = 100cm G41 = 140cm Abstand zur Lampe: PBB = 66cm G41 = 26cm 27.08.: Wo soll ich nur anfangen?! In der Zeit, in der ich abwesend war hat sich die G41 so weit gestretcht, dass sie teilweise bis an die Lampe ran bzw. sogar schon vorbei gewachsen ist. Da das natürlich sehr schlecht für die Qualität der Blüten ist, wenn die Lampe zu nah an der Pflanze ist, musste ich sie bändigen und etwas Platz zwischen Lampe und Pflanze schaffen. Dafür habe ich ein 3. Netz installiert, welches jetzt als Stütze für die Triebe dient. Da ich auf gar keinen Fall zu diesem Zeitpunkt nochmal toppen wollte, blieb nur die Möglichkeit ein Supercropping oder auch Abknicken der Trieb durchzuführen. Dabei habe ich die Triebe kurz über dem Netz abgeknickt und dann auf dem Netz abgelegt. Dadurch werden natürlich untere Triebe verdeckt, aber das muss ich wohl in Kauf nehmen. Außerdem habe ich noch bei beiden Pflanzen einiges an Blättern und Triebe, die zu weit unten hängen geblieben sind, weggenommen, damit mehr Licht nach unten gelangt. Die PBB hat sich seit dem in der Höhe nur wenig verändert, aber ist dafür schon wesentlich weiter, was die Blütenbildung angeht. Man kann schon einige Trichome auf den Blättern erkennen und es kommen auch schon ein paar erste Terpene. Die Lampe habe ich von ca. 40% auf ca 70% hochgeregelt, damit bei der PBB auch noch ein paar Photonen ankommen. Abschließend gab es dann noch ein kleines Extra für die G41 in Form einer Handwässerung mit etwas Acti-Vera von BioBizz und hydrolysiertem Kelp, beides nach Augenmaß. Die Höhe der G41 anzugeben macht natürlich dementsprechend nicht mehr viel Sinn.

Dank plant alert 🚨 this one is something special!!! The plant stacked pretty well and smells great. It’s a smell I have never smelt b4. The plant is very dank. It finished up really fast only 7 weeks

April 23 Fading leaves and turning purple. I'm making sure to do my due diligence in removing all dead leaves between the buds as they die, so that I'm not having dead leaves stuck in the bud as it dries. Trichomes aren't quite where I want them yet. The ones nearest the light are orange, but not much orange is anywhere else.

Wuick update really , the ladies are looking great and filling out well. Had alot of stretching but expected a good bit since I did minimal training on either. Some tucking and defoliation aswell. See how she's looking come 2024!! Best wishes to u all for a safe and fruitful new year !

Weather had been crazy good the last days. Plants are growing like crazy. Used a little Boom Boom Spray of Biotabs on the plants and now they look all nicely green again. Plant 2 and 3 where looking a bit light green before. Also going to give them some Orgatrex and Bactrex solution this week. Like the biotabs manual says in week 5. Growth: Plant 1: 12cm --> 21cm in 7 days (1.3 cm a day) Plant 2: 11cm --> 23cm in 7 days (1.7 cm a day) Plant 3: 10cm --> 20cm in 7 days (1.4 cm a day) Weather: MON 8/26 33°/ 17° actual temperatures TUE 8/27 33°/ 19° A thunderstorm in spots WED 8/28 28°/ 17° A strong thunderstorm THU 8/29 24°/ 12° Partly sunny; not as warm FRI 8/30 23°/ 12° Clouds and sun; pleasant SAT 8/31 28°/ 14° Clouds and sun; very warm SUN 9/1 20°/ 10° Clouds and sun; cooler

Everything is looking great just small buds on the Orion, quick one. nd royal dwarf is just getting started. But they look and smell fantastic. Northern lights is stacking up! Runtz too. Will be harvesting Orion in about a week

Not much has changed this week..all 3 clones doing ok..back one is struggling a little think it had little nutrient deficiency..think from cloning hopefully it will green up..

21.07.2025 Defoliation, Lollypopping, and LST/HST. 25.07.2025 The strechy pheno on the right side has some problems. I think I've overwaterd her a little. But she is already the looser in this grow. Even though she is the most mature yet. The short pheno in the middle is doing alright. But the pheno on the left side is a real beaty. And she smells so much more than the other two!
