End of the grow cycle finally! This one was a test run, I wanted to see the possibilities using liquid nutrients in an Autopot-like system. Firstly, because I got plenty of the nutrients left from the previous grow. Although it is possible to use this method, it’s way too much work. I had to change the water/feed in the tray all the time while I was facing with ph stability issues. The harvest is now in the drying chamber. I will keep you updated with the end results.

she is slowly getting a complete dark red autumn colouring. it looks really nice. the buds are getting thicker and the smell more intense. but she still has a few weeks to go. luckily no mould or anything like that so far.

🌸 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.

ugh just hate myself right now lol. I feel like it would have done AMAZING had I flipped sooner and SCROG way better. I was timid and had a lot of personal obligations preventing me from staying in the garden as much as I would have liked. Its a grower! and stretches so much in early flower. Stay on top of her but I think she may make some amazing bud based on what I did have drying recently. I wish I didnt mess up the timing but I just couldnt have the second wave be held up by these mistakes and felt it best to let it go

I believe they have finally stopped stretching!! I love this strain🙌🏽🙌🏽. I lst these babies and the still stretched to nearly 5 ft tall. The main cola from CF#3 is only 3 inches away from the light 😱, however it's been about 3 or 4 days and I'm not seeing and signs of bleaching or it turning white. It appears to be normal, so I have not bothered to tie it down. The rest of the colas are about 10 to 15 inches away from the light. Between the 4 plants I'd say there are 30 to 40 different cola heads. They continue to get fatter every day. I have 2 trellis nets up and may have to pull up the top trellis to support the colas as they fatten. I upped the nutes to 1-2-3, gro, micro,Bloom mixed into 3 gallons. They are sucking up water a bit faster as well. I am having to see them every other day.

Veg time=28 days. Flower time=86 days. Wet weight=805g Dry weight=86g 📋 Smoke report This smoke is nice, slight skunk taste with a bit of a sour lemon after taste. Strength wise I'd guess she'd be around the 25% THC mark. 📋Grow stats for GDG 23 #1 Runtz=50g #2 Fat Bastard=86g Total=136g Lights on. 20hrs×7days=140hrs 18hrs×21days=378hrs 12hrs×86days=1032hrs Total hours=1550hrs Light power=159.09Kw Rad power=105.69Kw Extractor=39.93Kw 4 gang=50.91Kw Top fan=21.36Kw Total electricity=376 98KW Electricity cost @£0.25/Kw=£94.25 Average light power a day=1.4Kw Average watt per hour=102w g/watt=(136÷102)=1.33g/w £/g=£0.73/g 📋Final word. Trimed on the 14/6/25. Trimming was quite easy, not to long in trim jail. 86g of solid nugs and 7g of nugs I couldn't be bothered trying to trim, they can go with the trim for hash. I would highly recommend growing this strain. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************

Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich prächtig und füllen nun das Netz fast vollständig aus. Beide Sorten – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – zeigen stabiles, vitales Wachstum und reagieren hervorragend auf das strukturierte Training. 24K Gold streckt sich kraftvoll und nutzt jeden freien Platz unter dem Netz. Ihr Wuchs ist offen und energiegeladen – perfekt geeignet für die ScroG-Technik. Die Triebe wurden mehrmals umgelenkt, wodurch nun ein gleichmäßiges Blätterdach entstanden ist. Gelato 33 wächst kompakter, mit breiten Blättern und dichter Verzweigung. Sie reagiert gut auf das horizontale Führen und bildet viele gleichwertige Triebe. Ihr buschiger Wuchs sorgt dafür, dass sich das Netz schnell und gleichmäßig füllt. Die Tropfbewässerung läuft stabil mit mehreren kurzen Zyklen täglich. Düngung weiterhin bei Canna Coco A + B → 4 ml/l, pH ≈ 5.8, EC ≈ 1.4. Beide Pflanzen nehmen konstant Wasser auf und zeigen keinerlei Mangel- oder Stresssymptome. Klimabedingungen: 🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 60 % 💨 Ständige Luftbewegung für starke Stängel Das ScroG-Gerüst ist nun vollständig installiert, die Triebe werden täglich nachjustiert. Die Fläche ist zu rund 80 % gefüllt – in Kürze erfolgt der Wechsel in die Blütephase. Beide Pflanzen zeigen maximales Potenzial: • 24K Gold: explosiver, aufrechter Wuchs – perfekt für Stretch. • Gelato 33: kompakt, dicht, extrem gleichmäßig im Aufbau. Ein idealer Abschluss der Veg-Phase – das Training hat seine Wirkung voll entfaltet.

Strawberry Banana Reserva Privada DNA Genetics famous seeds and vegetation! Joy from beginning to end, especially their height to heaven. The smell of buds is smelled of dried bananas with a light tone of earthy strawberries and pine. I'm happy! I will give them a week to ripen and gradually harvest. The biggest plants I've had so far. Tribute to the guys from DNA Genetics! Grow Your Own!
