That was the most difficult week. It was very cold and rainy, the humidity of the air reached 90% at most, but without sequels, thank God. On day 63, I defoliated and she is strong, fat and definitely smells like cheese.

Oct 20 Starting Well Water 0.9EC or 450PPM (Hard Water) @ 19 Degrees Inputs : EC 2.0. PH 6.4 Temp 19-21 2 Gallons each Runoffs: EC 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3 Goal is to Grow High Brix 12-15% better than the medical grade cannabis to help with a myeloproliferative neoplasm😧 as well as for fun😎. Any tips, working knowledge or suggestions towards this goal is greatly welcomed and would be played forward. Just read that if a plant has a BRIX of 12% or higher that some insects won't lunch on it! Loving this plant😀 Flavonoids and Cannaflavins are phytonutrients and along with carotenoids are responsible for colours. They are anti-mutagenic, anti-cancer, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immuno-protective .. Maybe better than aspirin for inflammation trial is still out😉. Catechins are anti-proliferative, cardio-protective and reduce cholesterol. More medical studies need to be done on this plant😶 Some plants are showing signs of a deficiency. I believe I have locked out calcium. I watered yesterday with 2 Gal each of Dutch Nutrient Diamond which has amino acids, humic and fulvic ,kelp (has b vitamins and amino acids in it). Green Planet Terpinator for the 4% Sulphate of Potash (SOP) or potassium sulfate...I saw a Video with the awesome Dr. Harley Smith and wrote 7 pages of full scape and he mentions to use amino acids to help plants uptake calcium. These products contained them and I had them on hand...hope it helps.

Stretch is done and flowers are piling on now! I treated with lost coast as a preventative. I kept the feed the same but it will be altered end of grow week. Canopy is getting hella full can't wait to watch these colas stack on. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

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 💚

D 68 26/03 Massive defoliation and last feed before flush

Day23 today I increased the power of the light at 600w 🤩 I took the seek gorilla melon out finally haven’t recover 😢 Day 24 I topped the Two gorilla melon and two of the papaya sherbet 🍀✌️ Day27 all good 👌 All guava auto’s enter in flowering stage first pistil are showing 😎

Hola!! pues si no me equivoco llevamos 75 dias desde que se empezaron a germinar y estamos en el segundo dia de la 5º semana de floracion. Son 12 plantas, 9 Mimosa GB y 3 Harlequin CBD de @gbstrains @GbTheGreenBrand @growbarato Os he dejado muchas fotos de todas las plantas para que veais como se van formando todos los cogollitos. En especial he metido varias fotos de una de las Mimosa GB que ha sido la mas baja y a la vez con mas ramas satelites de todas y en una de esas ramas satelites la cola principal esta mutando como veis en las fotos. Dicha cola es mas grande y esta mas alta que la cola ppal. He estado leyendo sobre ese mutacion que se llama "poliploide" y bueno muchas cosas que no entiendo jajajajjj pero bien, es bonita y se fumara :D CORREGIDO XD la poliploidia es cuando le pasa atoda la planta xd, lo mio es fasciacion xd fascinacion es lo que siento :D La pasada 4º semana de floracion, he regado practicamente todos los dias con nutrientes dado que aprecie una carencia de nutrientes en general, ya sabeis hojas claritas incluso con tonos amarillentos. Creo que se esta corrigiendo y muestra de ello es que no ha avanzado ese color amarillo y ademas las plantas estan todas de punta, pidiendo luz con mucha fuerza, resinando y engordando como nunca. Gracias. Bendiciones.

She popped out completely 48hs after being planted so looks like she's developing very quickly,let's see how sher performs. So excited about this strain by the masters of Dutch passion! 💚 🌱 ✌️

budding up nicely now. One pheno looks to be growing different bud formations and is much more frosty. O stupidly didn't take a cut of this in veg so I've taken a flower cut to reveg and try monstercropping.

The smell of this plant is very special, it is very hard to explain what i'm smelling other then i can say it is complex and very delicious. Also she is very sticky at this stage and that is what the glue is about offcourse. The stems are not that stable so buds are a little bit collapsing and i had to take care to bring her out. After putting her back in the tent again, i had to support her a bit with a jojo. Next week i give her a final push and she will soon be ready. Thanks for checking 😋

This week was also uneventful, growth has been slow and I'd say its half my fault with PH issues and over feeding which I'm correcting moving forward; and two unstable genetics. I dont have much info on growth patterns for this strain but its supposed to look a beautiful dark purple so I'm gonna breed a male and female hopefully. I'm also looking forward to the fourth phenos straits, I kind of hope its different just to have fourth completely unique phenos.

Another few days, cut her half, ready end of the week ♥️👍 03/01 trichomes still blanc

Chopped at day 60. They’re sweet and gassy. And sticky as 🍯

Plants have a nice size, big flowers and they are still growing. I'm fully satisfied with this strain. My first grow of Northern Lights Auto. I started with Plagron Green Sensation this week.

This is start of week 5, the girls have been grooving even with a heat wave hitting and a few days of 90 degrees or 32c Thinking this week they will start to turn some what a red purple hue, they have also stopped stretching. Starting to produce lots of trichomes and the smells are starting to come out, atm the middle one smells like Vicks lol, and the left one is smelling gas. Will keep you updated with all the important info growmies until next time ✌️ 09/04/23

Now they are a bit bigger , this is the start of week 2 , now day 19 in real time from germination. I would appreciate any help to maximise the yield. I feed around 500-600 ppm. How much should the drain be ? I have to plants struggling, one had 500 run off , should I give nutes or flush them more ?
