420Fastbuds-Week 6 What up, fam. Weekly update on the Photoperiod Femenized strains. GorillaMelon,RainbowMelon, LemonManderian,LemonPaya,PapayaSherbet, and some FastFlowering GG4/Sherbet. For just putting them outdoors 3 weeks ago, they've adjusted to the heat like a dream mid 90's and tripled in size. To think there's probably 4 more weeks of veg. These are going to get big. I might have to raise up the greenhouse or make it a convertible. I'm still just feeding well water, probably 2 liters, each straight from the hose daily. All in all Happy Growing.

Soma somando tudo por aqui! Cresceu e está na engorda!sem muito a declarar! Falta uma semana para a cabine de cultivo ser so delas e de mais 2 critical purpler que esta a 2 semanas de flora!aguardando ansioso para apreciar essas somango!

2025-01-01 to 2025-01-07 FINAL WEEK Missouri weather is known to be finicky. It finally took the plunge into the single digit temps for the first time this week (7F). Along with the cold weather came ice and snow, causing a short power outage, though this happened during the "lights-out" period and wouldn't affect these girls at this stage, anyway. I was more concerned about keeping it warm enough for a healthy and mature harvest. Luckily, the temps dropped to 51 at the lowest point - at 4 AM (yes, I was awake and in a panic). At the end of this week, the trichomes said it was time to harvest, showing their amber-hued maturity. The tops of the flowers are darkening and the primary leaves are dying off. 2025-01-01 As the week started, I watered 1.5 gallons each to to the tops (only water and CALMAG). The flush-through produced about 1 inch of drainage, still showing a lot of color from the nutrients. PPM was 1060 in the drainage. 01-04 The bottom trays are dry and I watered again (1 gallon each, water only) to the top of the substrate before drainage filled the trays to about 1 inch. PPM was 644 and the color has faded. 01-07 One last flush of water (0.5 gallons each), leaving trace amounts of drainage in the bottom trays. There is still some color from the nutrients, though very little.

Bubba Kush Mintz Autoflower is growing great. Took to the neem treatment well. I trimmed her up, and she is ready to stretch a bit more I believe. Everything is looking great, she will likely be ready for a solution change in about a week for the bulking stage.

👉 Comienzo la floración: .- Paso a maceta final (14 Lts) .- Aplico Delta9 (primera aplicación en riego). En el siguiente riego añadiré Bactobloom de Agrobacterias. .- Hago una defoliación suave .- Enciendo los Quantum Boards de apoyo para floración, con el espectro Rojo Lejano e Infrarojo, para acelerar el proceso. La intendidad total es de 475w, iré aumentando hasta los 600~700w progresivamente. ⚠️ Observando el tamaño que ha alcanzado plantas en estas 5 semanas, pienso que debería haber iniciado antes la floración. Me temo que van a crecer demasiado para mi armario 😳

Todo normal 👌🍀

They are looking real good. I think I may have gotten some nutrients on one plants leaves and it caused some yellowing and leaf curl, I’m hoping it straightens out.

Day 85 First day of Week 12, day 11 of flower Day 86 Day 12 of flower Watered Plants with 4 gallons of distilled mixed with spring water with 5.3ml/gal of micro, 4.6ml/gal of grow, and 6.0ml/gal of bloom. PH- 6.4@72°F. Plants look good, buds/hairs forming. Really tight node spacing. Day 89 Day 15 of flower, first day of Week 3 of flower Watered with 4 gallons of distilled water with ½tsp/gal of recharge pH-6.6@63°F. Day 91 day 17 of flower Watered with 4 gallons of distilled water with 3ml/gal of "Fish Shit" pH-6.3@70°F. Plant A- 34¼" from the floor, 25¾" from the soil. Plant B- 31¾" from the floor, 22½" from the soil. Plant C- 30¼" from the floor, 21¼" from the soil. Plant D- 34½" from the floor, 25⅜" from the soil.

Loving how they smell, nice colas and a huge crystals forming, next time will make sure to get more seeds, the banana blaze is huge and really different from previous grow, certainly is is a light issue glad I got my grow lights

Another slow start to the week after transplanting from coco to DWC. The plant showed little signs of growth and just seemed to be in 'limbo' for afew days. She then picked up the pace and has been sprouting new hairy roots and new foliage up top each day! LST continues to keep her low and wide with alot of new growth now accumulating from the main stem that is exposed. Will be looking to up the nutes over the following week to encourage her back to regular feeding dosages.

Day 1 week 2 Day 2 week 2 Day 3 week 2

Plants look healthy, except for a few older leaves, which appear to have some issues. Added big bud this week, lots of bud sights on each plant.

Growth is amazing! Starting to smell of skunky pepper. Drinking about 2 gallons per day, sugars are everywhere. Nice and tight bug development.

Anche questa Ayahuasca purple sta venendo su bene... La piccola talea che ho messo in terra a fianco alla pianta,ha attaccato al primo colpo senza fare nulla di speciale. (Senza radicante ne altro,)😋😂💪✌️.... Da questa settimana ha iniziato a fare un profumo delizioso...i fiori li sento già belli duri,compatti...non ho più trovato nessun nannars,ne fiori maschi completi...bene bene piantine mie belle..seguite così e datemi una buona terapia...🕉️ Om namah shivaya

Mango Kush – Week 3 Flower (Week 7 from Seed) Full bloom mode, white hairs, flower set, and the road ahead Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – Welcome to Bloom This is the week where potential becomes reality. After last week’s transition, the Mango Kush sisters have officially declared themselves in flower mode. Both phenos are pushing pistils everywhere, covering the canopy with bright white hairs—a sign that flower sites are established and stacking is about to begin. • Pheno #1: Taller, more aggressive stretch, stacking sites fast, almost frame-filling. • Pheno #2: Slightly more compact, slower to start, but now catching fire—showing dense bud initiation with tighter internodes. The studio photo session this week captured the exact transformation: the difference between “pre-flower promise” and “flower reality.” From here forward, every day is about bud development, resin production, and stacking density. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Bloom Formula Dialed In The nutrient program continues blending Aptus precision with Plagron bloom support. The girls are thriving on this synergy—lush green leaves, pistil burst, no signs of excess salts. 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 ✅ Expect: Increased flower site density, tighter stacking, and early terpene production (Sugar Royal always adds a little magic). ❌ Not yet: Bulk swelling, trichome frost, or strong aromas. That comes in weeks 4–6 flower. The soil’s built-in slow-release base continues to carry background nutrition, so we’re staying light-handed with the liquids—less is more when roots are healthy. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Riding the Edge • Temps: Still spiking up to 34°C at times, but girls are handling it like warriors. AC install is next on the list. • Humidity: 60–65% (slightly high for flower, but manageable with strong airflow). • VPD: ~1.9 kPa average. • Soil Moisture: Watered down to ~19% before rehydration. At this stage, stable environment = stable flowers. High temps can cause looser buds, so dialing this in soon will maximize density. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Full Bloom Orchestra All four lights now play in harmony, giving wall-to-wall coverage: • ThinkGrow Model One: The powerhouse, deep penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2): Filling in under-canopy shadows. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W: Spectrum balance, mid-canopy support. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro: Evens out PPFD across the whole footprint. Result: Every bud site, even low ones, has access to usable photons. Expect more uniform flower development, not just “top colas.” ⸻ 🧠 TrolMaster – Data, Not Guesswork The WCS substrate sensors keep feeding real-time EC, moisture, temp, and RH data. It’s more than numbers—it’s decision-making power: • When to water → guided by substrate moisture, not by “feeling the pot.” • How much EC is accumulating → avoiding salt stress. • Canopy climate control → fine-tuning towards ideal flower VPD. Automation is close. For now, manual love + sensor intelligence keeps the grow dialed. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Spotlight – Mango Kush Let’s take a moment to thank the plant itself. Mango Kush is a hybrid of Mango × Hindu Kush, known for its tropical-fruit terpenes layered over earthy Kush base notes. • Expectations in flower: • Medium stretch (which we’ve already seen). • Dense, rounded buds with fiery orange pistils. • Aromas of sweet mango, banana peel, and subtle hashy undertones. • Flowering time: ~8–10 weeks, depending on pheno. One reason Mango Kush is so loved is balance—it’s not just about potency, but flavor and experience. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – From Seed to Flowering • Weeks 0–2: Germination → healthy seedlings with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretching tall, Pheno #2 filling out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12. Stretch begins, PPFD ramped. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Nutrient transition, bloom boosters, light upgrades. • Week 7 (Now, Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, white hairs everywhere, feeding program locked. Two sisters, two phenos, one journey—and now the story really begins. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect (Educational Section) ✅ What to Expect in Weeks 3–5 Flower: • Flower sites expanding and stacking. • First hints of terpene expression (light smells when brushing plants). • Slight increase in daily water consumption. • Energy focused on bud set, not yet on resin production. ❌ What NOT to Expect Yet: • Heavy trichome frost. • Big swelling of calyxes. • Strong final aromas. • Final coloration (those come in late flower). Understanding this prevents false alarms and keeps growers patient. The best results come from not rushing the process. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To everyone reading, watching, and learning alongside this grow: thank you. This is more than just cultivation—it’s about community, knowledge, and respect for the plant. And let’s thank the gear, too: without the lights, sensors, and nutrients, the artistry of cultivation would lack its canvas. ✨ In short: Week 3 flower is where dreams begin to crystallize.

New Irrigation System – Mars Hydro Foldable Bucket Drip Kit This week, we also welcomed a new tool into the grow room: the Mars Hydro Drip Irrigation Kit (link here). 👉 Important note: I’m not running it on automation or timers. I will manually control it, plugging it in and off when watering. This way, I get the benefit of precise, even distribution, while keeping full hands-on control. What it is: • A bucket-based drip system that distributes water (or nutrient solution) evenly to multiple pots through adjustable drip emitters. • A way to reduce manual hand-pouring and ensure more consistent soil hydration. • A tool that can save root systems from “wet/dry pockets” that sometimes happen with hand-watering. What it is NOT: • It’s not fully automated irrigation (unless connected to timers or sensors). • It doesn’t make plant care “hands-free.” You still have to decide when and how much to water. • It won’t replace observation—plants still speak through their leaves and posture. What to Expect: ✅ More even watering across pots. ✅ Reduced runoff mess if dialed correctly. ✅ Less physical strain compared to hand-watering each plant. ✅ The chance to experiment with “precision irrigation” in future grows. What NOT to Expect (yet): ❌ Fully automated feeding schedules. ❌ Perfect calibration out of the box (it takes a few runs to dial flow rate for each pot). ❌ A substitute for plant observation—eyes on the canopy are still the most important tool. Educational takeaway: Drip systems are bridges between hand-watering and full automation. They give growers consistency without completely removing the grower’s role. For many, this is the sweet spot—technology supporting, not replacing, the human touch. P.S. #2 – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2: Different Timelines Another important note this week: the two Mango Kush sisters are not in the exact same stage of flower. • Pheno #1 – More advanced. She is already in full flower mode, pistils bursting, bud sites defined, white hairs everywhere. This is the classic “week 3 flower look.” • Pheno #2 – Slower. She is not yet fully in flower. Why? Because she was germinated later and is effectively running a slightly younger internal clock—closer to 11–13 from seed. 👉 With the 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 off), Pheno #2 is taking her time to settle into bloom. This is not a problem, it’s genetics and timing. Each seed is unique, and sometimes phenos stagger into flower. What this means for the grow: • Don’t expect both plants to bulk at the same time. • Pheno #1 may finish earlier. • Pheno #2 could become the “late bloomer,” giving us a longer harvest window and potentially different terpene expression. Educational takeaway: Not all phenotypes follow the same timeline, even under identical conditions. One may stretch earlier, another may flower later. As growers, our role is to adapt and respect the individuality of each plant. 🌱 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Buds are glistening now with an incredibly strong smell inside the tent. My rhino carbon filter manages to sort that thought :). 1 nanner developed on 1 bud site but as I'm so close to harvest, I'm not worried. Plants have had their final nute feed and next will be plain water for a few days Will be starting 4 x new autoflower grow next week
