As you can see at the beginning of the video, the Gorilla Punch was infested with spider mites at the end. I sepereted her directly outside the greenhouse. High time to harvest them before something worse happens… After 67 days in total from seed to harvest she got cut off👨‍🌾 it is dried in a cardboard box in the cellar at about 20 degrees Because of the spider mites there were some rotten buds, maybe 2-3g i have to cut off. It was definetly the smallest plant of them all. The bud rot is caused by the plant herself... nearly every bud was produced directly at the stam buds directly at the stam.

I started germination of 1 Gorilla Zkittlez bean on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plug was just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made hole. Than I sowed my bean into the hole. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the hole in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plug into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see a sprout. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plug planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get this lady situated into her home. Cant wait! Some Background information on my experience with Gorilla Zkittlez. I've grown this variety out twice so far. Once in a 15 gallon container which became a super branchy beast. That yielded a large amount and filled up it's own 4x4 tent with a little training. The second and most recent time was in a 1 gallon SOG grow. She also flourished in a fast flip SOG grow banging off a fat head frosty main cola, with a few satellite buds. Very adaptive strain and seems to flourish in any environment and any size space. Looking forward too my 3rd adventure with Barneys farms masterpiece.

Aug 10: added malted barley and Power Bloom for second time as a top dressing. Aug 13: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you are then using a 730 nm far red light to put them into dark mode. Otherwise you’ll be messing too much with the light cycle and might cause them to hermie. I have no proof but I’m theorizing the red light light might help prevent hermies. Worked last year anyway. Buds look good in flash pics so it’s a nice side benefit of using the red light as a bloom booster. Aug 16: good week for weather and she looks great.

Как и ожидалось, растение резко увеличивается в размерах, надеюсь я всё правильно расчитал. Идея с кольцом мне всё больше нравится, как только растишка войдет в активную стадию цветения — сделаю дефолиацию. 30/03 PH7,0 PPM860 31/03 PH6,9 PPM790 01/04 Дал Delta9 по листу. Откалибровал PH-метр, оказывается я невольно кислил компот, а буфер возвращал показатели до нормального значения. 02/04 PH6,1 PPM858 Сделал дефолиацию. 03/04 PH6,0 PPM940 05/04 PH6,1 PPM744 За прошедшее время в моём гроубоксе появились: 3 маленьких горшочка - проращиваю чили-перцы, 2 больших кирпича - в случае необходимости готов опустить на них горшок, а это плюс 10см высоты. В первый раз в жизни покупал кирпичи.😕 Открываю новую рубрику "а знаете ли вы, что": Green Gelato — Soft Secrets award winner — voted “Best New European Strain for 2019” Grow Champions! 💪 👉Планирую сделать интересный досвет низов по периметру, оставайтесь на связи. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

🌸 Week 6 Flower – The Weight of Beauty The Mango Kush sisters have stepped fully into their bloom rhythm. By this stage, the playful stretch is over — it’s all about bud building, resin production, and flower density. Both phenos are expressing themselves in unique ways, but they share one truth: they’re thriving, heavy, and ready to impress. ⸻ 🌱 The State of the Sisters • Pheno #1 The leader of the pack. Her buds are stacking densely, pistils still vibrant but starting to settle, and trichomes glisten under every angle of light. She’s asking for support now — her flowers are getting heavy and starting to bend the branches. • Pheno #2 She may have started later, but she’s catching up beautifully. Her colas are filling in, and resin production is kicking in strong. She’s a little more delicate, but her structure is holding steady. Educational takeaway: By Week 6, flower weight starts to increase dramatically. Support (stakes, nets, or ties) becomes essential to prevent branches from snapping under the load. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week we continued with the bloom-focused recipe, keeping the balance tight and letting the boosters do their work. We also reintroduced Aptus All-in-One Liquid to provide a stable NPK boost after noticing slight deficiencies earlier. Recipe Highlights: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L → Stress resistance & nutrient flow • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L → Calcium & magnesium support for heavy flowers • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L → Balanced NPK for mid-flower demand • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L → Pushing flower set further • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L → Enhancing aroma, resin, and resilience • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L → Density and trichome support Educational takeaway: Mid-flower is the peak of nutrient demand. The plant is working harder than ever — pushing energy into flower mass and resin production. Balanced feeding here prevents deficiencies while avoiding overfeeding. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Temps: Still running warm at times, peaking above comfort, but airflow and circulation are holding the canopy safe. • Humidity: Fluctuating but managed, keeping VPD in a range where plants can still transpire efficiently. • CO₂: Sitting steady, helping the plants maximize photosynthesis despite the slightly higher heat. Observation: The girls are drinking daily now. With big flowers forming, water demand skyrockets. We water once soil moisture drops around ~20% to keep a steady rhythm. ⸻ 💡 Light Orchestra The Mango Kush beauties continue under their four-light ensemble: • ThinkGrow Model One → canopy penetration • ThinkGrow ICL-300s → filling mid-canopy shadows • Future of Grow Black Series 600W → strong balanced spectrum • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro → evening the footprint The synergy here ensures every bud site, top to bottom, is touched by clean, even light. This is why we’re seeing full, consistent flower formation across the plants. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not) ✅ Expect in Week 6–7: • Buds gaining weight daily • Trichome density increasing fast — the “frosty” look appearing • Aroma starting to thicken noticeably in the grow room • Support systems becoming necessary to hold the branches ❌ Don’t Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (still maturing) • Final color changes (anthocyanins & fade come later) • Harvest cues (pistils and trichomes are still developing) Educational takeaway: Week 6 is “mid-bloom maturity” — the girls are past stretch, fully in flower, but not yet in their finishing stage. It’s a moment of steady building. ⸻ 🌿 Closing Notes The Mango Kush sisters are showing their genetics proudly. The Hindu Kush backbone gives strong structure and resilience, while the Mango side whispers hints of fruitiness when brushing past the canopy. This week, their beauty is in their weight and glow — heavy flowers, sticky resin, and the quiet promise of what’s still to come. ⸻ 💚 Grower’s Reflection “This is the week where you realize the reward is real — the buds are heavy, the resin sparkles, and the plants begin to feel like they’re carrying little treasures. Support them, feed them, and above all, enjoy the process. Week 6 Flower is the calm before the storm of ripening.” ⸻ 👉 Thank you for reading, friends. As always, join us on YouTube & Instagram to follow along with the Mango Kush journey, see the video updates, and catch all the behind-the-scenes content. 📌 P.S. Troubleshooting Leaf Spots – CalMag & Mid-Flower This week we noticed some spotting on leaves, a classic mid-flower signal that calcium and magnesium demand is peaking. Why now? • Bigger buds = higher demand. As flowers bulk up, the plant moves Ca/Mg rapidly into developing cells. • Warm temps increase transpiration. High heat makes the plant drink more, sometimes pulling nutrients unevenly. • Solution: We adjusted by reintroducing Aptus All-in-One Liquid for extra NPK support and kept CalMag Boost steady to buffer deficiencies. 🌱 Educational takeaway: In mid-flower, even healthy plants can show light spotting. The key is to respond early with balanced feeding rather than panic or heavy overdoses. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 7 Preview As we move into Week 7 Flower, here’s what to keep an eye on: ✅ Trichome explosion – expect resin glands to multiply, giving that first real frost on sugar leaves. ✅ Aroma awakening – terpenes will become more noticeable; brushing past the canopy will release fruity, kushy hints. ✅ Bud hardening – calyxes swell and flowers get denser; staking/support becomes more urgent. ❌ Don’t expect maturity yet – pistils will still be white, and trichomes mostly clear/cloudy. Harvest signs come later. Educational takeaway: Week 7 is the “icing phase” — the weight is already there, but the sparkle, smell, and stickiness take center stage. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Since sprouting above ground I've been top watering RO water until the roots hit the water. I also covered the net pots with reflective film to avoid any light leaking into the rdwc system to avoid any issues later on in the grow. Day 5 - Roots are starting to touch the water so I'm expecting the growth rate to pick up soon 😏 Trol master unit is set up and connected to my light at 40% and on a 18/6 lighting schedule. Very handy unit if I must say. Until the next update

Hey guys, I'm in bud heaven right now. Everything is maturing, lots of dense crystal covered buds forming everywhere. The Cinderella 99 is the slowest to flower and is still stretching. Do si dos is in full flower. Beautiful tight resin covered nugs. Going to be a nice early finisher, finishing mid-late September. I am keeping an eye open for mold and mildew. Treating the plants weekly and closely monitoring. The slower flowering plants won't be ready untill mid October. Happy with the results and mother nature so far. Until next week farmers!
