So this week it was time for the girls to get a hair cut. (Defoliation) Took all bottom leaves and lower stems off. At the end of this week it time to put them in 24hr of darkness then for the flip to flower stage 🙌 Throughout my veg stage I have had no problems or deficiencies With the plant at this moment in time green house feed is working wonders, they may have converted me to there range of feed but only time will tell. 9L per plant of water with enhancer 27G

Day 108 of cycle, day 60 of flowering Looking close at the trichomes I believe it could handle few days more to get more amber but I am satisfied with what I am seeing ✨ Harvesting day finished

Die zweite Reihe Photos hat richtig aufgeholt und ist fast so hoch wie die 2wochen älteren , aber noch nicht so verzweigt. Habe ja die beiden Haupttriebe nach außen gebogen, dadurch sprießen jetzt die Seitentriebe stark.die Special Queen Auto sind alle fleißig am blühen.es sind komische phenos geworden. Zwei sind sehr klein geblieben und werden nur wenig abwerfen. Da ich einen 4.run außerhalb der Doku habe, wo auch noch 6autos wachsen, ist es mir egal 🙂. Es läuft. Deas wichtigste sind die Photos und die machen,was sie sollen.. bis nächste Woche ✌️

📆 Semana 7 La Swag MDC sigue sorprendiendo con su personalidad fuera de lo común. Los cogollos han pegado un buen salto esta semana: más densos, más definidos y con una cobertura de tricomas que empieza a ser seria. Pero lo que realmente la distingue sigue siendo su morpho swag, esas hojas anómalas que ahora también brillan con resina, aportando una estética muy particular al conjunto. El plan nutricional con XpertNutrients se mantiene, ajustado con precisión para evitar excesos. La planta sigue respondiendo sin quejarse, asimilando bien y mostrando una evolución saludable. Los riegos están afinados al detalle, permitiendo una buena oxigenación del sustrato y evitando encharcamientos innecesarios. La luz de los Adlite continúa haciendo un trabajo excelente. Gracias a su estructura abierta, esta Swag está recibiendo luz incluso en las zonas más profundas, lo que se traduce en un desarrollo parejo y en cogollos internos que no se quedan atrás. El clima del cultivo sigue estable: temperaturas entre 22 y 25 °C, con humedad controlada cerca del 55%. El flujo de aire es constante, y no hay rastro de hongos ni otros problemas derivados del ambiente. En lo aromático, se empieza a notar una mezcla cada vez más interesante: una base frutal con notas herbales que se va volviendo más compleja con cada día. Los tricomas ya cubren la mayoría de las superficies y siguen mayormente lechosos, sin señales claras de madurez total aún. Una planta muy curiosa, distinta en todos los sentidos. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

she is almost ready ... she has 141 days in the outdoor ... I think she will cut it at the end of the month when she has 100 days just of flowering ... she has already started 10% amber in her ... with a typical smell of .a indica ... mint ... to earthy wood ... under a little temperature and a little cloudy ... but patience.and there is little left ... if I would cultivate it again it is obvious that if .. She will be very generous in her buds ... and she continues to feed herself organically ... and these are her results ... I am happy

Started last 2 days to add a little of Fish Mix (1/2 or the recommendation in the BioBizz Feeding Schedule), I plan to stop with the Root Juice from now on and only continue with Fish Mix and Bio Heaven for the time being. The 2 bottom leaves, they are showing some signs/spots on the leaves (Last Two Pictures). All the others (and newer ones) looks healthy and no sign of these spots. I think it was just light burn on the wet leaves (keeping an eye on it anyway) Using Photone APP, the PPFD is around 250-300 now. It was around 150-200 in the previous weeks. Additional Information: I'm Using Airpots. 2 Static Fans 1 150mm Exhaust Fan Water PH is around 7, but being organic nutrients I shouldn't be so worried. Update on Seed #2: Never grew (break the surface), so I'm giving up on it (its still in the tent, but zero hopes). So this is just a 1 plant Diary from now on.

They were good phenos. Very similar and nice buds. Super dense and dripping in resin. Lovely aromatic smell have been developed and was a great addition to my VERY LARGE crop this time. Both phenos grew great. P1 was just under 10 weeks. Pheno 2 was just touching into wk 7. Amazing smells from both. Dense buds. Big yields. Really happy to have ran this strain. Very fruity, exceptional quality & taste. Averaged about 70-90 grams for Pheno1 & Pheno 2. (Both plants cured 2 + months now. Really happy with my MSNL strains I ran this crop. Will be looking to add more in a few weeks for round 2 of my planned amount. Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & XPERT NUTRIENTS. AMAZING DUO. Appreciate all who stop by. I thank you and look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by. DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS 20% OFF CODE:

Mango Kush – Week 1 Flower (Week 5 from Seed) Stretch, sibling rivalry, and fine-tuning the environment Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush – Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Light Systems: • ThinkGrow Model One LED (main canopy) • ThinkGrow ICL300 (inner canopy lighting) • Black Series 600W LED (shared space) Ecosystem: TrolMaster-controlled, partially hand-watered ⸻ 🌸 First Week Flower – Stretch Mode Engaged We’ve flipped the Mango Kush girls into flower, and while there are still no visible pre-flowers yet, the stretch has begun. • Pheno #1: Already tall and well-structured, pushing into her 8th–9th node with strong lateral branching. • Pheno #2: Started later, but is rapidly catching up—shorter internodes, lush leaves, and a determination to match her sister in size before flowers set. 📸 Both got a full studio photo session this week—looking flawless and healthy from every angle. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C (a bit high, AC incoming) • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C • Watering: Daily (when soil dries to ~25% moisture) ⸻ ⚠️ High Temperature Talk – Risks & Rewards Risks: • Higher temps speed up transpiration, meaning the plants take in water and nutrients faster, which can cause imbalances if not monitored. • Combined with high VPD, temps can push plants close to stress thresholds. Benefits (if managed well): • Boosted metabolism → faster stretch and branch growth before bud set. • With CO₂ at ~632 ppm, plants can tolerate slightly warmer temps without losing photosynthetic efficiency. 💡 Plan: An AC unit is on the way to lock temps into the sweet flower range of 26–28°C. ⸻ 💧 Why Daily Watering Works Here In these conditions, the Mango Kush girls are drinking daily. Letting the medium dry to about 25% before rewatering helps: 1. Prevent overwatering – Roots get oxygen between feedings. 2. Keep nutrients stable – Avoiding EC spikes/drops. 3. Match plant demand – Giving them exactly what they’re ready to drink. Nutrients remain tat Aptus Holland recipe, now for flower, just with slightly increased volume to match their thirst. ⸻ 🌱 Sibling Rivalry – Pheno #2’s Big Push Pheno #2 may have started late, but she’s been stacking nodes and leaves like she’s got something to prove. At this rate, she might hit flower at nearly the same size as her big sister. This will be a fun side-by-side to watch—same genetics, different timelines. ⸻ 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ThinkGrow ICL300 We’ve installed the ICL300, a bar-style LED designed to sit inside the canopy. Why it matters for Mango Kush: • Better Lower Buds – More intensity to shaded sites → denser flowers. • Even Growth – Less height difference between top and bottom buds. • Efficient Canopy Use – Every branch gets a fair shot at the light. In multi-strain grows, inner canopy lights help prevent the smaller plants from being overshadowed, literally. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next • AC arrives → temps stabilize → optimal VPD range. • Expect pre-flower pistils to appear in the next 7–10 days. • Watch Pheno #2’s progress—will she match #1 before the stretch is over? • Continue using ICL300 to fill out the lower canopy for more even bud development. ⸻ 📣 Thank you for following the Mango Kush journey!

So this was quite the productive week..! They grew enough after the topping for em to bend over. First step to ScrOG has been done and I'm quite happy with the results 💚 Next step is the screen of course! Then let them full it and switch em Just a reminder.. I'm growin 4 plants in a 120*120 so a little patience would be required if you, like myself, would like to fill that space up ❤️💛💚 One day I'll fill it with just one plant 😆😆

Started putting on all of its weight in last 2 weeks. Dense triangular shaped buds. At Least 1-2 more weeks I think. I did a final light defoliation to expose the buds that weren't getting much light. Try to fatten up what I can before chopping. Happy with how it's come so far.. one more week before I begin flushing.

Can’t wait to try some of these flowers very happy with my first Scrog attempt beautiful deep purple buds. The next run of the do-si-dos auto will be 100% organic as i have the ingredients for living super soil, top dressing and compost tea on there way… so excited Juan has produced a few new white pistils but not to many so I have given her a last supper of my compost tea. We are in the final week or so Noticed today that Juan wasn’t actually touching the scrog anymore so removed it and got a few beauty shots 🤣👌
