Mango Kush – Week 1 Flower (Week 5 from Seed)
Stretch, sibling rivalry, and fine-tuning the environment
Grower: Dog Doctor
Strain: Mango Kush – Pheno #1 & Pheno #2
Light Systems:
• ThinkGrow Model One LED (main canopy)
• ThinkGrow ICL300 (inner canopy lighting)
• Black Series 600W LED (shared space)
Ecosystem: TrolMaster-controlled, partially hand-watered
⸻
🌸 First Week Flower – Stretch Mode Engaged
We’ve flipped the Mango Kush girls into flower, and while there are still no visible pre-flowers yet, the stretch has begun.
• Pheno #1: Already tall and well-structured, pushing into her 8th–9th node with strong lateral branching.
• Pheno #2: Started later, but is rapidly catching up—shorter internodes, lush leaves, and a determination to match her sister in size before flowers set.
📸 Both got a full studio photo session this week—looking flawless and healthy from every angle.
⸻
🌡️ Current Conditions
• Room Temp: 31°C (a bit high, AC incoming)
• Humidity: 50.3%
• VPD: 2.23 kPa
• PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s
• Soil EC: ~2.0
• Soil Temp: 25.6°C
• Watering: Daily (when soil dries to ~25% moisture)
⸻
⚠️ High Temperature Talk – Risks & Rewards
Risks:
• Higher temps speed up transpiration, meaning the plants take in water and nutrients faster, which can cause imbalances if not monitored.
• Combined with high VPD, temps can push plants close to stress thresholds.
Benefits (if managed well):
• Boosted metabolism → faster stretch and branch growth before bud set.
• With CO₂ at ~632 ppm, plants can tolerate slightly warmer temps without losing photosynthetic efficiency.
💡 Plan: An AC unit is on the way to lock temps into the sweet flower range of 26–28°C.
⸻
💧 Why Daily Watering Works Here
In these conditions, the Mango Kush girls are drinking daily. Letting the medium dry to about 25% before rewatering helps:
1. Prevent overwatering – Roots get oxygen between feedings.
2. Keep nutrients stable – Avoiding EC spikes/drops.
3. Match plant demand – Giving them exactly what they’re ready to drink.
Nutrients remain tat Aptus Holland recipe, now for flower, just with slightly increased volume to match their thirst.
⸻
🌱 Sibling Rivalry – Pheno #2’s Big Push
Pheno #2 may have started late, but she’s been stacking nodes and leaves like she’s got something to prove. At this rate, she might hit flower at nearly the same size as her big sister. This will be a fun side-by-side to watch—same genetics, different timelines.
⸻
💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ThinkGrow ICL300
We’ve installed the ICL300, a bar-style LED designed to sit inside the canopy.
Why it matters for Mango Kush:
• Better Lower Buds – More intensity to shaded sites → denser flowers.
• Even Growth – Less height difference between top and bottom buds.
• Efficient Canopy Use – Every branch gets a fair shot at the light.
In multi-strain grows, inner canopy lights help prevent the smaller plants from being overshadowed, literally.
⸻
🔮 What’s Next
• AC arrives → temps stabilize → optimal VPD range.
• Expect pre-flower pistils to appear in the next 7–10 days.
• Watch Pheno #2’s progress—will she match #1 before the stretch is over?
• Continue using ICL300 to fill out the lower canopy for more even bud development.

When I flipped the plants into flower I amended the nutrients to along with it so they could start off strong and they have been since that day (April 11th, 2025)
since then have top dressed the soil on (May 1st, 2025) with some bloom 284, worm castings and mineralized phosphate. So far the plants seem happy and thriving, if you have any questions or comments please let me know!

_____📅 Week 9 | 📅 🌼🌸🌺flower🌼🌸🌺 ______
🔸Our lady is now entering her third week of flowering – and she's doing so with elegance! The buds are slowly developing volume, the white pistils stand proudly and are beginning to appear denser. The trichomes are becoming increasingly visible and already give her that fine, sugar-like shine. The leaves remain narrow and elegant, typical of sativa-dominant genetics. The reddish stems add beautiful accents – everything points to a healthy plant in full bloom. A real dance begins! 💃.
🔸The dehumidifier now maintains a constant relative humidity of 50-60%, which I am very satisfied with. It does make it 2-3 degrees warmer in the tent, but I can live with that.
🔸Now gets big bud from AN, becomes thirstier

Hello everyone, my friends!
Here is a new grow, sponsored by the guys from the RQS company.
Thanks for the seeds and organic fertilizers.
This time I growing just a genius strain that has excited the minds of multiplying cannabis lovers over the past years - Royal Gorilla . Auto version.
Like always I am using coco coir.
For the first two weeks, I add light fertilizers with PPM around 350-400.
I always keep the PH solution in the range of 6.2-6.5
I keep the coconut always moist to prevent salting.
It's really important.
The plant is already about 3 cm. In a few days I will move it in a large pot.

Today marks the 13th week of these girls, it’s been an amazing 1st grow, would highly recommend this strain for first time growers, even the one that had some issues ended up surprising me late flower with new growth, and somehow basically caught up with the strong girl in size, but not density.
I learned a lot about how these plants like to be treated, and I will definitely implement new methods to improve my cultivation!
See you on harvest day!

HARVEST DAY!!!....
What a beautiful plant.. I can't wait to give her a taste.. Was expecting to push her another week.. But a closer look showed that there were alot of amber already.. Kinda hard to see them against the purple calyxes along with with the Mars Hydro TS 1000 on as well.. But she should be perfect! Oh I cant wait!!! Will be updating with the drying and curing as I go!!! So happy!!! 😭😭😭
Drying - Day 4...
Ok so humidifier is definately not needed this time lol.. For a couple days the room and box were at 70% so I took the water and filter out of the humidifier and just running it as a fan to help move the air around the small room its drying in.. The box also has a very small and weak computer fan which is just pulling the air out SLOWLY but SURELY.. Now the humidity inside the box has been reading 66% constantly for the last 2 days! This will be my first harvest that doesnt dry in 3 - 5 days without a humidifer! Maybe cuz I watered that morning?? Idk.. But this is much better.. Hoping for at least a 7 day dry.. 10 or 12 would be nice.. But I doubt that very much lol.. Anyways.. Will still be updating as I go!!!
Drying - Day 5...
So I went ahead and trimmed all the smaller nugs and colas.. Leaving the 3 biggest colas (back of the box) to trim in the morning tomorrow. I wish I would have lollipopped some.. Alot of larfy, leafy nugs.. But still gonna smoke that shit! Lol.. Took about 2.5 hours to trim what I did today.. Keeping the trim (duh) to make some bubble hash.. Or maybe just gather the keif and press it.. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.. Either way it's gonna be some epic shit! The smell is still so amazing! You could probably fuck up the drying and curing and still smell the citus! Lol.. But I will still keep updating as I go!
Drying - Day 7..
I went ahead and put some smaller nugs into a jar to see what they were reading.. Still way too high.. In about 8 hours it was reading 84% RH so they still got at least a couple more days drying.
Drying - Day 8...
Ok so I was feeling the nugs I already trimmed and jarred.. They feel pretty crispy. So I'm jarring them again today. I have trimmed up 2 more of the bigger colas but I can feel that they still have some moisture.. So later today I'm going to finish trimming up the last one (which is gonna be awful lol it has alot of smaller branches that are gonna be very tedious) but that one is gonna have to be left out to dry a little longer than the rest. As of now, I have 3 jars filled.. I may even need to buy another jar.. I really wish I had some big mouth mason jars so I can buy those lids for curing! Those things look legit asf!
Later that night...
So I have now finished trimming.. The jars that I had already filled were reading 62% RH on the dot.. I like to have it at 65% - 68% RH to have some room to get it down to 62% after a week or two.. But this shouldnt be any issue.. Will add 62% packs when the jars get below 60%.. But since they are already at 62%.. I dont want to burp very often at all.. 62% RH is where I like my bids at. I have a sandwich bag FULL of trim.. That is gonna make some amazing bubble hash! Very airy bud.. But this strain is very beautiful.. Smells great.. Just the airy buds.. Will definately grow again.. Will update with a taste test in 15 - 30 days.. Would rather get the cure done before I taste her.

😺 We decided to flower these a little earlier than we originally intended to make room for some new strains...I will never mainline a plant this wide again indoors lol, it seemed cool at the time but as you can see it just takes up more space 😑 👎🏻
...we gave them their first shot of bloom nutrients yesterday (we typically do this 1 week before flower but things came up and we learned we'll need the tent available)...the calcium def spots seemed to have cleared up naturally on the mainline, the other plants are fairly uniform in color (not too dark anymore), and lower growth has been removed...all systems go for flower! 💪😺, I'm hoping for a significant flowering stretch, the new growth after the last mainline topping is approx. 6inches, if this stretches to 12-14inches it should build 8 really good sized colas per side.. thanks for reading! We'll update midweek..happy growing everyone!!

🐱 be careful what you wish for folks..we asked for stretch and we got it..too much in fact, the node spacing isn't good, far too wide with this strain..we lowered both lights in the tent to get this to stop and turned up the fans to really beat on these for a few days..hopefully this will strengthen them, I really would hate to have to steak these later...

The ladies have grown really tall. All the plants are still in the stretch and are doing really well. I have added another layer of compost and a layer of grass clippings for mulch. I will sort them out with some fresh food this weekend as the first leaves are starting to turn a bit yellow. Bud development is good and the ladies are dealing with the colder temperatures well. The weather is supposed to get warmer again. I think they will get another boost soon and will enjoy a fresh feeding. Happy growing.

Die Babys starten in die 9. Lebenswoche.
Ich habe nochmal einiges entlaubt um möglichst allen Budds Licht zu gewähren.
Die sind echt sehr Dicht, Steinhart und wahrscheinlich brauchen die Babys noch gute 2-3 Wochen 🙏🏽
Bin echt gespannt, der Geruch der Terpene ist auch soweit Top aber nicht mehr das was es früher einmal war, jetzt hat es den typischen Runtz Geruch, süß und fruchtig, früher hatte barmend Farm Cali Runtz und die Terpene waren eher Pinie 🌲
Bin trotzdem zuversichtlich auf Fette und Qualitativ hochwertige Ernte 😍

Day 50 flowering. Despite my punishment with the calmag she is doing well considering. I dont doubt she could have been a hell of a lot bigger and would have been a big yield. She is covered in buds that her branches cant keep up now. she looks a little of a tangle with the way I have to support her now and any handling of her leaves my fingets tacky as hell. I did find a little budrot to deal with too which is a concern for the harvesting time now. Hard to keep the rh down with the uk weather at present and a dehumidifier is on my list now.
All in all another week for her will give me some lovely sweet smoke when she is done. Trichs are still showing quite a few clear so she is good to go on

1/10 Week 10
Both are in flush and from the looks of the tricones these are the most potent plants we have grown to date.
Drinking has really slowed down but keeping the un-PH one gallon daily flush since tap water is cheap.
Annie doing very well under the LED lamp, TS-1000 plenty large enough for one plant in flower. This is encouraging for plans to replace the HID with either a TS-2000 or TS-3000(preferred) this spring before the summer heat.
Just a few more days....😎
