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. And we’re sharing it all.
⸻
With light, love, and the rhythm of two sisters in sync but not the same,

FBT2402 had a ph issue, and I got some spots on the leaves. I did not have her solution strong enough, and it jumped up on me. It's fixed now, and stable. Beside that she is starting to stack her colas. Hopefully I get a few ounces from her.

Hello Growmies,
Week 16 unfolds with a sense of closure and accomplishment as we approach the final stages of this remarkable journey.
Throughout the week, the plants have undergone a meticulous flushing process with RO water, purging the last remnants of nutrients from the soil. This intentional cleansing is met with a positive response from our plant, as she gracefully transitions into the closing chapter of her life cycle. The effects of the flushing are vividly apparent as she starts to reveal her autumn colors. A captivating mix of purple and sandy brownish hues is painting her buds, creating a visual symphony that signifies the culmination of her growth.
In assessing her readiness for harvest, the trichomes provide valuable insights. The presence of approximately 10-15% amber trichomes suggests that we are nearing the optimal moment. However, a few scattered white hairs indicate the possibility of a slightly early harvest—perhaps by a mere couple of days. As we witness the plant's response to the flushing process and the emergence of autumn colors, it's a poignant moment to reflect on the entire journey. The care, attention, and shared experiences have converged into this final phase of growth.
In the coming days, we'll carefully monitor the trichomes and continue to observe any changes in her appearance. The anticipation for harvest is palpable, and every detail is scrutinized to ensure a perfect culmination.
I want to express gratitude to each of you who have joined me in this journey—your observations, enthusiasm, and shared joy have made this grow truly special.
Stay tuned for the next entry, where we'll delve into the harvesting process and celebrate the fruits of our collective labor.

❤️💡🌱😽💨
Everyone was up-potted 2 days ago and showing a little new growth since then. They're all very healthy looking, one has some slight yellowing which should disappear soon with our change but all plants are extremely small for their size.. we've been letting these dry out completely between watering so I'm convinced there's a genetic component to this. We've had a few other strains start extra slow for us in the past and one in particular that started slow and then took off like wildfire around week 5 so I'm not too concerned ..they're each using 3gal square (plastic) pots willed with fresh Promix-HP..they're getting a little bit of Big Bloom with smaller amounts of Grow Big with every other watering now and this has corrected the odd hue we noticed around wk3.. The Mars SP-3000 is about 2.5 away, it sounds far but despite the distance, node spacing is always really tight in that tent all through veg
We're hoping for some explosive growth this week now that everyone is officially settled, we're still on the fence as to how we'll train these but odds are we'll do our typical 4 way LST after topping and keep under their skirts bare..
..there no telling how long we'll veg these as size is always our determining factor but when the time comes, we plan to flower in this tent as well.. not too much else to report, its been an effortless week.. thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!!
👊😺

8/17
We've gotten some fast growth in the last few days.. we figured they were just late to the party.. we topped all plants at the 3rd node yesterday and we'll eventually pull each plant 4 ways..apparently the "weird hue" is genetic, they all have a unique purple undertones..neat strain for sure.. we dropped the SP-3000 a few inches and they're praying to it almost around the clock..we're debating on building a 4x2 PVC scrog table for these girls if we find the time.. thanks for dropping by Growmies! Much love!❤️

Was really worried the whole time through out my grow as I am a Newbie and this was my first grow. Thanks for all the help provided by users on growndiaries. Much appreciated.
Had great result from my solo cup. 12.6 grams of dried bud. Time for curing and let that smell build up. Fingers crossed will taste better but smells amazing. Zesty smell when crushed.
More confident for my next grow.
Hopefully will be more fun and relaxing growing.

*apologies for lack of media in first week*
Welcome to first week of Fastbuds Cheery Cola Auto, growing along side Fastbuds Gorilla Cookies, so good it has its own grow diary on here! So be sure to check it out!
Started off by doing some surgery as the husk was still attached to the stem. By day 7 it it looking slightly hungry, so gave it it's first dose of a low strength batch of nutrients. See next week how she likes it!

Stretch coming on nicely.
The SSS is flowering earliest and fastest, 1 Sour D seems to have more genes from the "GPP", but the other is super sativa looking...
Hoping its close too the Karmabx3 Sour D genetics!
The Strawberry Cola Sherb, is clearly feeling great in the air pot! but in all honesty... ima bottom feeder so it just turns out a lil awkward hand feeding.

Okay had to start 2 purple strains one of them being LSD-25 and the other Blackberry in the second journal. I still have 2 open air pots filled to the brim with fox farm ocean forest, froggy frog, and coco choir in approximately a 2:1:1 ratio. I'm still anticipating the unreleased strains from fastbuds fingers crossed. I placed both these girls taproot down right before the Eclipse.
Day 1 above ground: August 23rd.
I like to stretch them early to allow for more room for watering since I like to bush them out. Stretching them early allows for a long strong stem and hopefully sets the precedent for future growth rate. Stretched them out s littlllllle too much haha forgot my light was in 50%. No harm no fail. I'll take better pics when they take off.

New update for week 12, concluding week 8 of flowering:
Hi(gh) Folks! Thanks everyone for your input on my second grow question. I’m going for HighTV’s answer, the SOG with 9x4 main buds. Very nice to get everyone’s input on this, appreciate it!
So another week done! They got their last nutrients Tuesday and on Thursday the 5 early ladies from Hempire got their first round of plain acidulated water. I flushed them a bit on Friday and Saturday to. Now they can dry out for a couple of days. I will flush them for the upcoming week and let them dry out before harvest next weekend. Im counting on them to swell up even further during this week.
As for the rest of the 4 plants from Hempire, 4 from Royal Queen Seeds and 3 from Hy-Seeds, I will treat them as if this is another week 8, and they will get another dose of Flowering nutrients and PK. Then next week I will start to flush them also. I will have 2 full weeks to flush and let them dry out until my planned harvest on Saturday 5 January. I’m not even sure that will be early enough for the 4 RQS’s since they look like they have even more bud-growing to do, before they can start swelling! I will keep an eye on that.
The 5 tall ladies, 2 from Hempire and 3 from Hy-Seeds show the nice thick Kushy buds i’m craving for, can’t wait to see the becoming nice and heavy! On the photos you see the slight diverence between the pheno’s, the left 2 plants grew the popcorn-buds on a stem, and the right ones have nice thick popcornbuds against the stem’s. The other to remaining Hempire plants also show these, apart from the early ladies offcourse. The early birds show a little stretching buds and nice purple colours.
So next week will see the early ladies harvested, I hope?
Look out for my next update and don’t forget to like!
Thanks and see you!

Everything is still alive thankfully and smells fuckin tremendous. The pictures were taken on day 49 or 50. I'll probly start flushing some of them over the next week the citradellic are lookin close. They kinda all look close even tho I expected some 70 dayers with the mostly sativa crosses but I gotta get in there and check the trichs.
Got all the pics I have up, I realized I didnt have any full plant pics of 2, and minimal of 3 so next feed I'll try to get some and next week I'll make sure I get alot of good ones. I feel like I should start the flush soon this strain seems to finish very quick theres already a good amount of amber trichs at day 50.

Hallo zusammen 🤙.
Sie wächst sehr schön und riecht richtig lecker nach Käse oder so etwas in der Richtung stinkt.
