🌸 Week 7 Flower – Crystals, Aromas & Monster Buds Welcome, friends, to the final pre-harvest chapter for our Mango Kush sisters. Week 7 Flower is where everything comes together: weight, density, aroma, and frost. And let me tell you — these girls are absolute monsters. ⸻ 🌱 The State of the Sisters • Pheno #1 – The trailblazer. Her colas are enormous, dense, and sparkling like snowy peaks under the lights. The macro shots reveal a glittering layer of trichomes, covering buds, sugar leaves, and even little fan leaves near the canopy. She’s showing phenomenal resin production, and her pistils are thick and curling. • Pheno #2 – The younger sister, but catching up fast. Her buds are dense and sticky, the frost is appearing more heavily, and every macro shot reveals the same dazzling crystal coverage. She’s slightly behind Pheno #1 in maturity, but don’t be fooled — she’s a true powerhouse in her own right. The smell in the room is so strong that if it weren’t for the carbon filters, we’d probably be calling the fire department thinking someone baked 100 mango pies at once! 😅 I mean the frost on these buds? Looks like Mother Nature had a snow day in the grow tent — pure white crystals everywhere, like the plants are wearing winter coats in July! ❄️ ⸻ 🔬 Trichome Watch – Macro Details Week 7 is all about trichomes. Here’s what we’re seeing and monitoring: • Clear trichomes: Still present, mainly on the lower bud sites, indicating some time left before peak potency. • Cloudy/milky trichomes: The majority of bud surfaces are now showing full milkiness, a sign of peak THC potential. • Amber trichomes: Small percentages on the tips of pistils — this is the first sign of cannabinol conversion, giving the slightly more sedative effect. 🌱 Educational takeaway: Trichome inspection is the golden key to deciding harvest timing. Macro photography helps us see nuances invisible to the naked eye. We’re aiming for a balance: mostly milky with a touch of amber for that perfect Mango Kush high. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition At this stage, feeding is minimal but precise — we don’t want to push excess nutrients, only support the plant as it finalizes resin and bud density: • Just water lol the rest they can find in soil and else were Educational takeaway: Week 7 feeding is about support, not growth. The girls have all the energy stored; now we just help them transform it into resin, aroma, and density. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Temps: 28–30°C, slightly warmer in the canopy under heavy buds. • Humidity: 50–55% — perfect for trichome development. • CO₂: 620–650 ppm, steady, helping photosynthesis and sugar production. Observation: Trichome production loves a slightly drier mid-to-late flower environment. Too much humidity can reduce resin and promote mold on dense buds. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The lighting orchestra is still performing beautifully: • ThinkGrow Model One → penetrating the canopy • ThinkGrow ICL-300s → mid-canopy perfection • Future of Grow Black Series 600W → full-spectrum balance • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro → evening out footprint Result: every bud site is kissed by light, maximizing sugar leaves and resin density. ⸻ 🔄 Recap – Seed to Here For anyone joining now, here’s the full journey of our Mango Kush sisters: 1. Seed germination: Smooth, fast, with Aptus Start Booster. 2. Vegetative stage: Strong branching, two phenos selected, transplanted into super soil + Aptus Mycor-Mix. 3. Early Flower (Weeks 1–3): Pistils forming, Power Buds introduced, lighting expanded, TrolMaster ecosystem established. 4. Mid Flower (Weeks 4–6): Bulking, simplified nutrition, aroma starting, trichomes appearing, All-in-One Liquid and CalMag adjustments. 5. Week 7: Buds heavy, frost everywhere, aroma exploding, trichomes mostly milky with hints of amber — the final week before harvest. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect ✅ Expect: • Buds heavy and dense, needing support • Aroma extremely potent, filling the tent • Trichomes mostly milky, some amber • Sugar leaves sparkling with frost ❌ Don’t expect yet: • Complete amber conversion (full sedative effect) • Final cured aroma or flavor (only post-harvest) Educational takeaway: Week 7 is the climax of flower maturation. Now is the time to inspect, support, and admire — patience will yield the perfect harvest. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the GrowDiaries community: thank you for joining this journey from seed to near-harvest. The sisters have taught us patience, observation, and joy in every stage. To the gear: TrolMaster, ThinkGrow, Lumatek, Future Of Grow with the Black Series — thank you for letting the plants reach their full potential. 💚 Grower’s Reflection: These girls are monsters, monsters of beauty, resin, and aroma. Every macro shot shows why we love this process. And yes… if it weren’t for the carbon filters, we’d probably be evacuating the neighborhood from sheer Mango Kush smell! 😅 Frosty, dense, magical — week 7 Flower is everything I hoped for. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

For the purpose of GrowDiaries, this Week 7 Flower report combines both sisters to provide a full picture of the tent and the ongoing bloom. While Mango Kush #1 is slightly ahead, and #2 a bit behind, this report reflects both in their mid-to-late flowering stage. Why combine them now? GrowDiaries updates are sometimes tricky, and combining the sisters allows us to share their progress together, making it easier for readers to follow the story and observe the similarities and differences. 🌱 Rest assured: When harvest comes, we’ll present a complete follow-up report covering harvest, dry, trim, cure, and smoke review — highlighting each sister’s unique traits and final results. Honesty is part of the journey, and transparency helps everyone learn and apprecilove the full picture. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Anesia Seeds, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Settimana devastante!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

2020-06-21 DAY 1 of flower! New week, new nutrient schedule, I kept the PPMs high and changed the ratio. I've tried to keep the 2nd plant on the same nutrient schedule but I had to dilute it within 24 hours because PPM was rising. It seems to have stabilized now. Starting EC = 2.0/1.8 and ppm= 930/880 and pH = 6.0. Added a new dehumidifier but it's totally raising the tent temperature almost 4 degrees F!!! I am in the process of setting up my recirculating system so I can take soon put the reservoir/dehumidifer outside in the same closet, just gotta take out the mini fridge. 2020-06-23 The girls are drinking like crazy! They are drinking much faster than normal so I am topping up with 1.1 mL/L calimagic instead as they still have a ton of food! pH still sinks from 6.0 to 5.5 over the course of 4 days or so but that seems normal for my setup. Threw up a video so you can get more perspective! I now have 3 different dehumidifiers running. There's a small 500 mL one inside the tent which raises temp about 2 degrees F at all times. I have a compressor dehumidifier outside the closet pulling in litres of water a day. I also have a big AC unit with a dehumidifier function that is draining into a 5 gallon pail. I am pulling GALLONS of water out of the air in this room and i've had to close the door to maintain it. Sorry, roommate! No AC unit for you. I had to do some SUPER CROPPING and bend some of the main stems down on plant 01. It was growing way too quickly in the last 2 weeks. I'm hoping the change in nutrients will promote flowering instead of such rapid height!! 2020-06-27 I keep having to super crop, the plant is so damn resilient, it fixes itself in 1-2 days!! What the hell!! I have reduced the feed going forward for next week. 1000 ppm was too high, I ended up having to top up with fresh water + calimagic almost every single day because it was drinking far too quickly. I will lower to 800 ppm for next week but maintain the same ratio. Root system is looking ROBUST on both plants!

This week went really great! Plants are looking super healthy today at day 22 from seed!! Today they got a dose of just pure water phd at 6.5 ! Temperature an humidity has been staying pretty stable everyday, staying around 70-75 degrees and 58-61 % humidity!! Can’t wait to see what these girls do this week ! Hope you all enjoy , an had a great safe weekend! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨If there’s any questions, please ask me 🙏🏻

Beginning to grow which has made me happy seems to be growing steady! Ph level of 50 air temperature 24/26

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

This lady has gone through many changes this week.. Firstly I tightened the scrog net and she was stripped of her fan leaves and the lower future bud sites have reacted well to the light. She has grown immensely in the last 2 weeks and I have now stopped tucking her under the net. She is starting to shoot out her Pistils and beginning to form tricomes on her leaves. Exited too see what she does this coming week!!!! =D

Our Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia is a strong piece because? I come from an area where mandarins reign supreme, when I was a kid the peels ended up covering the numbers of the first rudimentary bingo games. We all have a clear smell of mandarin in our nose and olfactory memory and we distinguish it from other citrus fruits, at least lemon. I had a Jet Fuel that was strong with mandarin and my friends all went crazy for example, "you can feel the peel" they tell me. It's like this guys when a strain is good ok it has to be strong, but the terpene profile reigns supreme. It has to smell, remind you of something, have an olfactory configuration is essential in today's cannabis and those citrus ones are the most recognizable but the nuances between the citrus ones are pure love. Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the indicated techniques and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. In this diary we find it left to grow straight, we did a bit of LST on the lower branches but slowly we eliminated them. This week we are emphasizing the fact that when you grow the plant like this, but it is valid in general, you should send into bloom only the part of the plant that actually sees a sufficient amount of light that you must learn to evaluate. Everything that is below should be cleaned simply because it will weaken the production above. Better not to waste energy on the plant to produce weak branches and wake flowers Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to compare. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We start bloom time now fertilize with: 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l Power Buds - 4 ml/l Alga Bloom We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent mycorrhizae from RQS flowing in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrize-easy-roots.html Taste this strain a little bit, it's a cross of legendary strains ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Short Description Zamnesia // When legendary genetics are crossed, something exceptional can only be born.

Hallo zusammen 🍀👀, Der Flush ist gestartet und es sieht wunderbar aus! Bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit der Größe der Pflanzen und auch mit dem Aussehen. Finde, das Training zu Beginn hat sich ausgezahlt und bin natürlich gespannt wie viel dabei rauskommt :D. Auch dem Dünger kann ich ein großes Lob aussprechen - im Vergleich zu Biobizz hat sich AN auf jeden Fall durchgesetzt. Natürlich hab ich auch im Vergleich zu den letzten Durchgängen eine stärkere Lampe benutzt, was das Ergebnis deutlich beeinflusst. In den Nahaufnahmen sind schon deutlich orangene/braune Trichomköpfe erkennbar, weshalb ich nächste Woche auch ernten werde. Ich danke bis hierhin allen, die mir folgen und mich Supporten. Würde mich riesig über ein Like freuen und folgt mir gerne für weitere Diaries in der Zukunft. Ich lerne auch immer wieder gerne dazu und merke, dass ich mein Können von Diary zu Diary steigere. Nächste Woche kommt wie gesagt ein Report zur Ernte und in den kommenden Wochen dann ein Smoke Review. Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende, lasst es krachen und stay high 🍀😎 LG Wulle

Buenas a tod@s... Empezamos con la primer semana de flora, se las ve muy bien de momento, crecen fuertes y uniformes, algunas hojas marcan exceso, pero v atodo bien... Esperomos sacar buena cosecha en lo q respecta a calidad y cantidad, q ver q sale, de momento q crezcan fuertes y sanas... Un saludos y buenos humos... 💪🏻🏻😎

Looks absolutely gorgeous, again I'm dealing with some fungus gnats and that's why it's full of yelllow sticky traps everywhere guys haha, the smell is now starting to be very noticeable It's pretty sweet and at the same time kind of spicy and herbal, let's see how this lady keeps developing her beautiful flowrs, stay tuned guys!! 👨‍🌾🔝

gained 10" in the last 7 days. 19" in the last 2 weeks. doing extremely light stress training. just enough to get the light evenly to the leaves. there are multiple colas coming up together. hoping for a decent amount from these plants. im doing a light defoliation each week. changed the way the lights hang in the 3rd tent to give more room to grow and light covers more of the plant now

Awesome grow more to come from rocbuds I’m gonna post more here and stay off IG

Looking good lowering temps to keep my terps from burning off remember once you smell it their gone forever lol! I did run through a few little problems you can see rip burn and some stretching one was a experiment and one was my own fault. As of right know tho I’m very happy for this harvest!

Used dragon force now for 2 feedings then start flushing ! There almost there

11 weeks completed! The plants seem healthy and doing their thing. I will be harvesting this week. There is definitely some amber in the trichomes. I gave them a tiny feed mid week since they had seemed to be a little stalled out (first feed in 1.5 weeks). I watered them last night. I'll check the trichomes when I but them to bed in 2 days and see if that is when I'll leave them in the dark for 48 hours and then harvest. If they are still not ready then... I'll water again when I wake them up and then I'll check them 2-3 days after that! Either way, I cannot see this not happening in the next 4-5 days!! Looking forward to harvest!! Plans are already underway for my next grow. Probably going with Seedsman's Strawberry Auto Cheesecake.

Light schedule is changed and she's ready to go

14th week, no more fertilization. I will give to this beautiful girl 2 more weeks, so I started flushing. Nothing changes except the fertilization stops. It receives the same amount of water 200 ml 2x a day. Leaves are getting yellow and the buds thicker. Strong, good smell, beautifully coated with THC and all looks good🤪Can't wait to taste this strain! ❤️ Wednesday: Last day of the 14th weeek She is beautiful, no comment it can be seen in the pictures and videos. Minimum 2 more weeks needed to be ready. May be 3. Tomorrow starts week 15. Her height is 43 cm in the end of the week.
