Week 4 – Vegetative Stage – Mango Kush (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Tent: 8x8 Shared Environment Environment Control: • TrolMaster Ecosystem (Model One LED by ThinkGrow) • Future Of Grow Ecosystem (Black Series 600W) Watering: Hand-fed Nutrient Line: Aptus Holland (unchanged recipe) ⸻ 🌱 Two Paths, One Queen’s Blood This week marks a defining moment in the journey of our two Mango Kush phenotypes—Pheno #1 and Pheno #2—both sharing the same genetics, but taking very different roads toward flower. ⸻ 👑 Mango Kush #1 – The Trailblazer She’s taken the lead and she knows it. Currently at her 8th or 9th node, she’s branching out beautifully, vigor, symmetry, structure. This girl is showing early signs of dominance, with a wide frame and a hunger for light. Her architecture screams “future canopy queen.” 📸 We took her to the photo studio again this week and wow. She’s a natural in front of the lens. Her structure is clean, confident, and glowing under the full-spectrum light. ⸻ 🌱 Mango Kush #2 – The Rising Sister Much younger, but full of potential. Currently pushing her 4th pair of leaves, this one was a late germination and is only about 2.5 weeks old since she popped above soil. Despite her smaller size, there’s something familiar about her. Her leaf shape and structure closely mimic Mango #1 during her early days, tight internodes, round fans, calm posture. Genetics run strong here. We’re keeping her in veg for as long as possible, but next week we’re flipping everything to flower, which means she’ll start blooming early. It’s not ideal, but it’s necessary, as the older girls (Mango #1, the Lava Cake and the rest of the sisters) are growing fast and space must be balanced. ⸻ 💧 Nutrients – No Change, Still Precision We’re keeping the Aptus Holland formula exactly as it is for this week. The girls are loving it, and there’s no sign of deficiency or excess. Here’s what they’re still getting in each liter: • Regulator – 0.15 ml: Structure, resilience, and stress defense • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: Building the skeleton • 💧 All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: A steady and complete base • 🌱 Start Booster – 0.25 ml: For root expansion and early shoot development This balanced, light recipe keeps things clean and focused, supporting both the rapid growth of Mango #1 and the early development of Mango #2. ⸻ 🌡️ Lights, Climate, & Ecosystem Balance Both Mango Kush plants are thriving under dual full-spectrum LEDs: • TrolMaster ecosystem running the ThinkGrow Model One LED • Future of Grow ecosystem running the Black Series 600W Each system is tuned to maintain optimal light intensity for its space and phase. Climate conditions are steady thanks to active airflow, dual controllers, and filtered intake/exhaust setups. 💨 Carbon filters from TrolMaster and Spider Farmer keep the air clean and pure, even though we haven’t reached flower yet, clean air is good air, and early filtering helps prevent environmental noise and pathogens. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect… and What Not To What to expect: • Mango #1 will likely dominate flower structure, showing her potential early • Mango #2 may surprise us with a compact, denser canopy due to earlier light flip • Structural differences will emerge—same genetics, but different timelines = different expressions • Visual comparisons will help us understand Mango Kush’s phenotypic range What not to expect: • Uniform results—they’re the same strain, but on very different developmental clocks • Aggressive training—due to the timeline, we’re letting them grow mostly unmanipulated ⸻ 📣 Final Words – Community & Curiosity We thank you all for reading, growing, and following this journey with us. ✨ Every grow is a conversation between light, root, leaf, and time.

Honestly not much to say about the dry and trim, which is definitely a good thing. 12 days hanging in the tent, and the plants were ready to trim. me & the Mrs. absolutely sailed through it. Stores like a dream, and smokes the same. Not a crazy amount of flavour, but the aroma that it has is lime and cream. And the taste is more earthy and spicy. Loving and savouring every bit of it. Sorry I’m very late with this, but I’ve been busy getting my next plants started! You should see them come up soon, as I’m quite behind in my posting. I’m very happy! 🤟💚

This is her 3rd week now, and I cannot believe how fast she is growing. I am only putting in half the recommended dose of nutrients due to previous issues. I will increase the dose in about a week. This is becoming a real pleasure to grow.

Just used the standard paper towel method, tap root sprouted within 24 hours, I then placed it into the soil then on the 26th she popped out of the ground looking nice and healthy. I breed this strain a few years back with a male OG Kush plant, the seeds were from a mate who had them vac sealed since the early 2000's I crossed it with a female Black domina plant I had and wanted to see how it turned out, I grew it outdoors earlier this year and it turned out beautiful, had an extremely gassy fuel smell with hints of pine and citrus. Keen to see how she's goes indoors. (First times growing indoors btw) wish me luck

Que pasa familia. Noticias buenas y malas, de 3 ejemplares, uno nos salió hermafrodita. Empezó a formar plátanos esta semana y al estar tirándolos en ramas distintas, cortamos por lo sano y ADIÓS. Quedan 2 subimos cantidad de comida, pegaron buen estirón, y las flores están formando sin problema alguno. Dejo muchas imágenes y vídeos de esta semana, y ya deducen ustedes.

It was a good week the buds are already getting more dense. 3 out of 4 pots had some slight stretching issues, the last pot I transplanted had the most even canopy. Probably mixed the wrong ratio of amendments in the beginning . Looking forward to second half of flower!

🌿 Grow-Tagebuch – Woche 3: Wachstum & Strukturaufbau 📅 Zeitraum: KW 43 Phase: Etablierte Vegetation 📍 Setup: Indoor-Growtent mit LED-Beleuchtung, reflektierenden Wänden, aktiver Luftzirkulation, 20+ beschriftete Töpfe 🔍 Überblick der Woche Wachstumsfortschritt: Die Pflanzen befinden sich nun stabil in der vegetativen Phase. Die meisten zeigen 4–6 Blattpaare, einige bereits die ersten Seitentriebe. Pflege & Klima: Temperatur: konstant bei 24 °C Luftfeuchtigkeit: leicht gesenkt auf ~55 % Lichtzyklus: 18/6, LED mit ~300 PPFD Luftzirkulation: Umluftventilator + passiver Luftaustausch Gießverhalten: angepasst auf Bedarf – Pflanzen mit stärkerem Wachstum erhalten punktuell mehr Wasser Nährstoffe: Erste Gabe von mildem Vegi-Dünger (EC ~1.0) wurde gut aufgenommen. Keine Anzeichen von Überdüngung. Einige Pflanzen erhalten zusätzlich CalMag zur Stabilisierung der Zellstruktur. 📚 Lernimpuls der Woche „Vegetation ist nicht nur Wachstum – sie ist Architektur.“ Jetzt entscheidet sich, wie die Pflanze später Licht aufnimmt, wie sie trägt und wie sie mit Stress umgeht. Tipp: Wer früh mit LST beginnt, kann die Haupttriebe gezielt lenken und die Lichtverteilung optimieren. Auch das Entfernen der ersten unteren Blätter kann helfen, Energie effizienter zu lenken.

The smell is wild, overwhelming lemon pez, I want to eat them now. Had some watering issues that will surely stunt one of them ,but she recovered in a day or two very nicely. A little bit of defoliation just to allow light/air to get to each cola as they fill out more. Overcame an issue with watering, and added some automated alerts to warn me if the daily average drink rate drops again.

Had bend her main cola over again!! She was growing into the light. She just keeps spreading out too! Wish I had a bigger tent for her. The buds are starting to fatten a bit. I defoliated her again. Trying to get some better light penetration and air flow.
