Mango Kush Germination Report – A New Beginning
Genetics: Mango Kush – Zamnesia Seeds
Method: Cannakan Germination (https://cannakan.com)
Nutrients: Aptus Holland – Regulator & Startbooster
Medium: Soil
Series: “From Seed to Soul – The Germination Chronicles” (Coming soon on YouTube!)
Hey everyone!
I’m excited to be back and sharing a brand-new grow journey with all of you. We’re starting something really special this time—not just another grow, but an entire series documenting every step, every seed, every little miracle.
We’ll be focusing on multiple strains, with full transparency and deep explanations about methods, nutrients, tools, and decisions. And yes, this series will be coming soon to YouTube, so make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any of the magic!
Now let’s talk about our guest of honor: Mango Kush by Zamnesia Seeds.
Germination Details
We used the Cannakan system for germination, super simple and effective. Just added plain water with a touch of something special (more on that below), labeled the laminate with the strain name, and let the process begin.
I originally started with three Mango Kush seeds. Unfortunately, I messed up two of them (it happens!), but one came through beautifully. Later, I popped another one and she quickly joined the party bringing us back to two, as planned.
Timeline
0–48h: Seeds showed signs of cracking, early indicators of life.
48h: Transferred to soil as soon as the taproots emerged.
under 24h after soil: They broke through the surface like champs.
Very smooth overall, no issues, just a calm, clean start.
Nutrient Insight – Why Aptus?
For this germination, I added a gentle mix of:
Aptus Regulator: Helps the plant manage stress and improves nutrient uptake, even at this early stage.
Aptus Startbooster: A light organic stimulator that helps root development and early vigor.
Even though many people germinate in just plain water, I find that a tiny dash of these two products gives a subtle but noticeable edge during the early days. Healthier roots, stronger starts.
A New Series Begins
This grow is the launchpad for a brand-new video series I’m developing. We’ll explore every stage, from germination to harvest with behind-the-scenes insights, in-depth nutrient breakdowns, genetic reviews, and personal stories from the garden.
It’s going to be something very special, different from anything I’ve shared before.
So come hang out on YouTube, drop a comment, and help build a community around this project.
Thanks for being here. This is just the beginning. Mango Kush is kicking things off, and many more will follow. Let’s grow something beautiful together.
With love, light, and leafy dreams,
Your grow partner

6/24 this may be the last week. The screen recordings are of both plants (purple octane and rs11) they're both close. I also went back and did some math and the last week of veg, should've been first week of flower. I may let her go for 10 weeks. We will see how she looks throughout this week(trichs)
6/25 looking super close. All cloudy besides maybe 10%
6/29 will get in there with a microscope again. just waiting on her to ripen. can't tell if she's done, or at rhat point where she looks so good that she's done but then that last week the plant explodes. well see and yall will definitely hear about it.

Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles 🌱
What a week it’s been in the garden! We finally transplanted the Papaya Zoap into its final Autopot, and let me tell you, this plant is something special. Though her roots weren’t quite where I wanted them to be yet, the move was needed to help her catch up with the rest of the crew. She’s already looking fantastic in her new home, and I have no doubt she’s about to explode with growth in the coming days. Sometimes, you just have to trust the process, and I’m feeling like this is one of those moments. It’s almost as if the room itself is taking on a life of its own. 🌿
In fact, I’m starting to believe that what we’re building here is something greater than ourselves—there’s this energy in the room, a feeling of everything coming together perfectly. I can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds!
Dialing in the VPD with TrolMaster’s Tech
Now, let’s talk VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and how I’ve been keeping everything in check with the Tend-X and the incredible (DSH-2U) Humidity Station. VPD is crucial to plant health—it’s all about finding that perfect balance between humidity and temperature to optimize transpiration and nutrient uptake. The (DSH-2U) Humidity Station, connected directly to my humidifier, has been an absolute game-changer in this regard. With its real-time data and automation, it allows me to monitor and adjust the RH with pinpoint accuracy.
Simple yet brilliant, the (DSH-2U) Humidity Station is keeping my room at the sweet spot I need. Whether I’m tweaking the settings from my phone while I’m out and about or just fine-tuning things while relaxing at home, this machine does it all. It’s like having an extra pair of hands in the grow room—and when you’re managing something as complex as VPD, that’s invaluable!
And yes, the TM+ Pro App—let’s not forget how awesome it is. I’m adjusting my grow room from the couch, the car, or even the bathroom 😜. I’ve said it before, but this app is making growing easier than ever.
Feeding the Girls: The Perfect Blend 🌱
We’ve upped the game by adding CaMg-Boost at 0.25 ml/L to the feeding schedule. Along with the 1 ml/L of the all-in-one liquid, this brings the TDS up to 320 ppm, with a pH of 5.99 and solution temperature of 24.8°C. In the soil, readings are around 415 ppm, with temperatures hovering around 25°C The plants are absolutely thriving, and I can already see the difference this new feed is making.
I can’t help but have a bit of fun with this process—it feels like I’m spoiling them with the best of the best. And they’re rewarding me with beautiful growth and vibrant green color. You know how it is, with the right care and attention, these plants are truly becoming a masterpiece in the making. 🌱
Shoutouts 💚
Big shoutout to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the phenomenal gear that’s making this grow smoother than ever. Also, massive thanks to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrition, and of course, to the community here on GrowDiaries—you guys keep the energy alive! 🌱
Last but definitely not least, shoutout to all the seed banks supporting this journey. You’ve been a huge part of this process, and I couldn’t do it without you!
Remember, for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and updates in real time, head over to my Instagram and YouTube channels @DogDoctorOfficial. We’ve got tons of epic content lined up, and you won’t want to miss it!
P.S.
Let’s talk about the new Model One LED Bars—these beauties are not only powerful but super efficient. I’ve been able to dim them down, save on electricity costs, and still maintain an incredible PAR and spectrum. It’s all about fine-tuning the balance of power and performance, and these lights make it easy to get the best results while being eco-friendly. Whether you’re running them full throttle or dialing it back, you’re still getting optimal growth conditions for your plants. That’s the kind of innovation that takes your grow to the next level. 💡
Growers Love to all 🌿💚

Welcome to my Animsl Mints Diary sponsored by MSNL and Spider-Farmer with their 2023 Seed release and Spider-Farmers new upgraded 2023 SE5000.
Veg Days 16-25 Days 22-35 Weeks 4&5
Growth was good. Really happy and healthy. Everything was flying along. Then, sadly. All my plants were hit with 2 low Ezyme & Terpinator 4.5ph feeds that screwed up a lot of my girls. These had a rough time of it but she pulls through. For the most part it's over here. Sprayed entire crop with Vita Race. It'll help with any ill affects from the growth aspect as some grows progress. I could of hard flushed. But, that would of solved the issue, only to start a whole new one that would have suppressed growth. Have been on the slow fix approach with adjusted ph of anything given into the 6.4-6.7 range. Foliar spray as given as they are. I only applied Vita Race twice as the problem has only been an issue the plant 10 days or so. From now on, everything will be PH'ed growing in co2, there really is no room for mistakes. Imbalances or any crucial nutrient like mag if that's thrown off, the whole plant(s) seedlings have suffered. There is rapid growth. I've had flips after 4 days into veg. But, things need to be FLAWLESS.
Pult Alga Grow as Recommended by the maker. Will be kept on stuff listed above.
Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARMER for the chance to try these new lights and strains. I highly appreciate it. And also to all who stop by to view, like &/r comment. Thanks. Look forward to seen your work.

The girls started to pre-flower on the 6th of June. They all have a slight smell when you rub the leaves. Kosher cake, Strawberry banana and the Forbidden runtz have a sweet smell to them. The Forbidden runtz reminds me of the smell of skywalker OG which is totally LUSH..!! The blackberry has more of an deep earthy smell with a slight bit of fruitiness. Super excited for the next few weeks with these ladies. Happy toking my peeps 😁

Starting the week defoliating the babies, hopefully, they'll get more light penetration and recover in the pre-flowering phase, I think two more weeks until flowering stage.

Another slow week. I increased light schedule to 13/11. I’m going to slowly lower the time of light until by the time harvest day comes it’ll have a longer dark period. I’m also going to stop feeding the bottle nutrients my soil is moist still so I gotta wait. I’m predicting a couple ounces this grow.

Day 17
Both girls have been progressing nicely. Nice growth. Removed a male tentmate today. Pots are roughly half weight, may need water tomorrow or the day after.
Day 18
Gave then both a neem oil top drench. Switched light schedule to take advantage of cooler night temps and lower electric use cost. Just gotta make sure I can prevent light leaks. (12p to 6p)
Day 19
Gave both girls a light top fill of CocoLoco to reduce stretch. Great growth this past week.

Defoliated this week, reveg growth is very noticeable. I cut off most of the single, double and triple bladed leaves. I moved my tent divider and shelf back in so I can grow seedlings/clones in a smal chamber if I want to. I added a small LED into the corner under the shelf where this plant is now to help the two plants that got stuck in the shadow.
I will thin out stems eventually. My plan is to take clones off this plant and because of this I may leave most of the bushy growth on so I can take multiple cuts.
If you watch the video- fair warning... my inline fan is noisy. It has started making a grinding noise and it is not pleasant to listen to 🤷♀️🏼

❤️💡🌱😽💨 This strain has been on our shortlist for a while now..I'm sooo glad its time lol!! We're having some heat issues with 4 tents so we'll only be running 2 until mid-late fall..The SP-3000 performs FAR better than any other light we currently have so we didn't want to short these plants by growing them in any other tent...this should make for an AMAZING grow...4 P.G.C seeds were placed in a glass of water moments ago, they'll find their way to a paper towel sometime tomorrow and we'll update our germination results about Tuesday...thanks for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!!

Shes blowing up and is really throwing the trichomes! I'm super happy with the odor and shes very vigorous. She seems to be taking a little longer then her friend strawbwery gorilla. I expect to see her swell!!!! My apologies that I was late this week will double up on Thursday for you guys as these photos I took last Wednesday to put things into perspective. Check back next week to see just how fast she grows. Don't forget its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

Day 85: The left plant is developing much slower, and I think it is caused by light stress. The right plant needs more light than the left one, so I have lowered the left plant. I don't understand why this grow as been so slow. They had problems through out there grow, but they are growing fine in size, and the left plant has much less noticeable problems. It might have something to do with the big pot size maybe?
