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 💚

Una planta que dude mucho si crecería bien por un pequeño problema con el humificador, pero le sirvió para hacerse fuerte y al final ha sido la ganadora en peso de las 3. Recomiendo cultivarla por la fuerza que me ha demostrado tener ante el problema que tuvo de humedad, y unas temperaturas altas de 32 de máxima. Es además una planta que se ha cultivado muy fácilmente.

First Signs of Bloom! 🌸🚀 We’re now entering Week 5 since sprout, and my Auto Moon Rock by Divine Seeds has officially started her bloom journey! You can clearly see the first pistils emerging alongside vivid, toxic-green new growth. She’s staying compact but clearly packing power—this one has serious promise. Earlier in the run, I applied some gentle LST following a topping—yes, despite Divine Seeds’ recommendation not to top autoflowers like this one. But I trusted my instinct and the plant’s vigor—and she hasn’t disappointed! 💪 She handled the stress like a champ and bounced back with balanced, bushy growth and strong branching. 🌿 This week’s routine included: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 2 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz CalMag – 0.5 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz Bloom – 2 ml/L (new!) 🔸 BioBizz TopMax – 1 ml/L (new!) 🔸 Homebrewed Compost Tea for microbial support 🔸 Effective Microorganisms for root vitality 🔸 Dechlorinated tap water 🔸 pH: 6.4 🔸 EC: 1300 µS/cm I also introduced a DIY CO₂ system (sugar, water, dry yeast)—and it’s bubbling away perfectly! I’m expecting even better growth now, especially as bloom ramps up. Once my CO₂ monitor arrives, I’ll start reporting ppm levels directly. 🌬️📈 📽️ Also up this week: a fresh Growlapse video! Always satisfying to see how much change a few days can bring when you fast-forward. She’s reacting well to every bit of training, nutrients, and environment. I have to say—Divine Seeds has bred a real gem here. Even though I went against the grain with topping, this cultivar showed resilience, structure, and strength. So far, I can highly recommend her to any grower who enjoys working closely with their plants. Let’s see how she stretches in the coming days. I’m expecting great things! 🍃✨

Go! Go!! Go!!! Nice start. Ph7 ec 0.38 temps 23 hr 80%

The bud development on this strain has been great rock hard buds I mean rock hard really nice quality bud heavy the resin production is super high it’s been cold at night for a week 48 as the low it has this girl oozing with resin very pungent smells of Fuel so dank smells like pine fuel citrus and a touch of skunk I’m very happy with the quality of this strain

Fifth week of vegetation started. I've changed the water into the pots. The fan is turned three hours on, one off. Inkbird parameters are unchanged (20° -3° H +2°C). Plants are healthy and started to be bushy. Light power to 100%. D29: changed water and added fresh nutrients: for each 20 liters pot I've added 35ml grow, 20ml micro and 15ml bloom. pH @ 5.7, EC 1.8 I've added 10 ml of pH- to each pot. D31: plants become thirsty, I've refilled each pot with at least 0.5 l of tap water. pH @ 5.7, EC @ 1.5. D32: check, things are going well. D34: check: [email protected] EC 1.5. Added 1l tap water to each pot.

Die buds sind zwar nicht so fest, dafür ist gefühlt die ganze Pflanze ein einziger bud. Ich würde sagen, wir bewegen uns auf den Endspurt zu. Also nochmal alles rausholen was geht.

March, 19th We are starting Into Week 3 of Flower Girls have established very well. Soon i can top them, and go on with alittle defoilation to get them in Shape i like to see They are watered if they need it only Benefical feeding, because the Soilis rich enough I was setting up this Tent new and they got a new Light too. Iam very happy with the Light Its a bright, good quality Quantumboard The corpus is built solid, and has cooling fins, so the Board and the Tent stays quite cool No issues It runs on 60 Percent The Light was released on March, 15th. here are some codes Amazon US: XS1000 10% off: it10mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0y-6 XS1500 5% off: it15mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0yA XS2000 5% off: it20mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0y2Y XS4000 5% off: it40mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0y5k Amazon Canada XS1000 10% off: it10mlarimar https://amzn.to/38udUVe XS1500 5% off: it15mlarimar https://amzn.to/3esVUyr XS2000 5% off: it20mlarimar https://amzn.to/3l5zAfg XS4000 5% off: it40mlarimar https://amzn.to/3l7k5Uj

19/12 Ayer se regaron con solución nutritiva pensando en el ultimo mes de floración y considerando su respectivo tiempo de lavado.

Just waiting to see if she develops any further clearly struggling bull still moving. She has had a 100 ml dose of home made solutions e.c 1.7 I will wait until the pot is dry until I fed her next!

Feliz por como van mis gorilas, todos los días hay cambios y cada semana tengo que aumentar el riego, esta semana utilice en total 18 litros, 4.5 litros para cada planta aproximadamente. En los primeros 6 litros uso: ▪️︎4ml de Connoisseur A y B por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Rhino por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Bud Candy por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Carboload por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de B-52 por litro de agua. Espero 30 minutos y despues aplico otros 6 litros con los siguientes nutrientes: ▪️︎4ml de Connoisseur A y B por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Nirvana por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Big Bud por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Overdrive por litro de agua. ▪️︎2ml de Voodo Juice por litro de agua. No tengo medidor de EC, por lo tanto trato de que las mediciones en ml sean exactos con una jeringa. ☆ 1 día a la semana riego las plantas con 6 litros de agua sin nutrientes y con un PH en 6.0, hasta el momento no han presentado carencias pero tengo la duda si tienen exceso de nitrógeno por el color verde intenso de las hojas.

Day 56 I did a flush at the end of the week with double the cal mag and Epsom. Hopefully I can get this leaf condition turned around. I think flushing will help as the runoff was on the higher side, the main stem is purpling and leaves showing signs of cal mag deficiency. Hopefully I can get this under control before it all goes to shit. I’m just on cruise control, hoping to make it to the end haha. Happy Growing 🌱

Heavy dense buds Smell Strong

Ya en la recta final familia, están apuntito, solo unos días más. Nuestras lemon kush ya recibieron su lavado de raíces , están sin productos ya solo AGUA. Controlamos de todas formas el Ph igual y que no baje por debajo de 6,2. Bestiales estás flores , un olor muy característico con tonalidades cítricas que recuerdan al limón. Todo un clásico en verdad. Estos ejemplares carecen de brazos laterales, son óptimas para un SOG desde semilla, pudiendo llenar 16 plantas en metro cuadrado.

The smell is pretty pungent and skunky. With a citrus smell if you squeeze the stem. Started the flush this week pretty excited for the harvesting. I'm at the 9th week of flowering. And I think 10 should be enough. I wanna thank @TheBudWhisperer for helping me with all my questions

Our girl is doing really nice, the training was successful and now part of her is under ground and she is growing nice. I have increased the water intake a bit more

09 October 2018 - Day 106 Crystal was trimmed and nugs left for a week to fill out. 10 October 2018 - Day 107 pH good 11 October - 2018 - Day 108 Kolas are dense and thick 12 October 2018 - Day 109 Removed from Tent and hung. 13 October 2018 - Day 110 Drying nicely , Humidifier added . 14 October 2018 - Day 111 Further trimmed and added to discs for overall ventilation 15 October 2018 Day 112 Rotating Tiers to make sure we dry evenly
