Mango Kush – Week 3 Flower (Week 7 from Seed)
Full bloom mode, white hairs, flower set, and the road ahead
Grower: Dog Doctor
Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2)
Environment: 8×8 Grow Room
Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors
Lighting:
• ThinkGrow Model One
• ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights)
• Future of Grow Black Series 600W
• Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro
⸻
🌸 Week 3 Flower – Welcome to Bloom
This is the week where potential becomes reality. After last week’s transition, the Mango Kush sisters have officially declared themselves in flower mode. Both phenos are pushing pistils everywhere, covering the canopy with bright white hairs—a sign that flower sites are established and stacking is about to begin.
• Pheno #1: Taller, more aggressive stretch, stacking sites fast, almost frame-filling.
• Pheno #2: Slightly more compact, slower to start, but now catching fire—showing dense bud initiation with tighter internodes.
The studio photo session this week captured the exact transformation: the difference between “pre-flower promise” and “flower reality.” From here forward, every day is about bud development, resin production, and stacking density.
⸻
💧 Feeding Update – Bloom Formula Dialed In
The nutrient program continues blending Aptus precision with Plagron bloom support. The girls are thriving on this synergy—lush green leaves, pistil burst, no signs of excess salts.
Water Mix (per liter):
• Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml
• Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml
• Aptus Top Booster – 1 ml
• Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml
• Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml
• Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml
✅ Expect: Increased flower site density, tighter stacking, and early terpene production (Sugar Royal always adds a little magic).
❌ Not yet: Bulk swelling, trichome frost, or strong aromas. That comes in weeks 4–6 flower.
The soil’s built-in slow-release base continues to carry background nutrition, so we’re staying light-handed with the liquids—less is more when roots are healthy.
⸻
🌡️ Environment – Riding the Edge
• Temps: Still spiking up to 34°C at times, but girls are handling it like warriors. AC install is next on the list.
• Humidity: 60–65% (slightly high for flower, but manageable with strong airflow).
• VPD: ~1.9 kPa average.
• Soil Moisture: Watered down to ~19% before rehydration.
At this stage, stable environment = stable flowers. High temps can cause looser buds, so dialing this in soon will maximize density.
⸻
💡 Lighting – Full Bloom Orchestra
All four lights now play in harmony, giving wall-to-wall coverage:
• ThinkGrow Model One: The powerhouse, deep penetration.
• ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2): Filling in under-canopy shadows.
• Future of Grow Black Series 600W: Spectrum balance, mid-canopy support.
• Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro: Evens out PPFD across the whole footprint.
Result: Every bud site, even low ones, has access to usable photons. Expect more uniform flower development, not just “top colas.”
⸻
🧠 TrolMaster – Data, Not Guesswork
The WCS substrate sensors keep feeding real-time EC, moisture, temp, and RH data. It’s more than numbers—it’s decision-making power:
• When to water → guided by substrate moisture, not by “feeling the pot.”
• How much EC is accumulating → avoiding salt stress.
• Canopy climate control → fine-tuning towards ideal flower VPD.
Automation is close. For now, manual love + sensor intelligence keeps the grow dialed.
⸻
🌱 Genetics Spotlight – Mango Kush
Let’s take a moment to thank the plant itself. Mango Kush is a hybrid of Mango × Hindu Kush, known for its tropical-fruit terpenes layered over earthy Kush base notes.
• Expectations in flower:
• Medium stretch (which we’ve already seen).
• Dense, rounded buds with fiery orange pistils.
• Aromas of sweet mango, banana peel, and subtle hashy undertones.
• Flowering time: ~8–10 weeks, depending on pheno.
One reason Mango Kush is so loved is balance—it’s not just about potency, but flavor and experience.
⸻
🔄 Recap So Far – From Seed to Flowering
• Weeks 0–2: Germination → healthy seedlings with Aptus Start Booster.
• Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretching tall, Pheno #2 filling out compact.
• Week 5: Flip to 12/12. Stretch begins, PPFD ramped.
• Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Nutrient transition, bloom boosters, light upgrades.
• Week 7 (Now, Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, white hairs everywhere, feeding program locked.
Two sisters, two phenos, one journey—and now the story really begins.
⸻
🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect (Educational Section)
✅ What to Expect in Weeks 3–5 Flower:
• Flower sites expanding and stacking.
• First hints of terpene expression (light smells when brushing plants).
• Slight increase in daily water consumption.
• Energy focused on bud set, not yet on resin production.
❌ What NOT to Expect Yet:
• Heavy trichome frost.
• Big swelling of calyxes.
• Strong final aromas.
• Final coloration (those come in late flower).
Understanding this prevents false alarms and keeps growers patient. The best results come from not rushing the process.
⸻
🙏 Gratitude
To everyone reading, watching, and learning alongside this grow: thank you. This is more than just cultivation—it’s about community, knowledge, and respect for the plant.
And let’s thank the gear, too: without the lights, sensors, and nutrients, the artistry of cultivation would lack its canvas.
✨ In short: Week 3 flower is where dreams begin to crystallize. The Mango Kush sisters are past the point of no return—now it’s bloom all the way.

P.S. New Irrigation System – Mars Hydro Foldable Bucket Drip Kit
This week, we also welcomed a new tool into the grow room: the Mars Hydro Drip Irrigation Kit (link here).
👉 Important note: I’m not running it on automation or timers. I will manually control it, plugging it in and off when watering. This way, I get the benefit of precise, even distribution, while keeping full hands-on control.
What it is:
• A bucket-based drip system that distributes water (or nutrient solution) evenly to multiple pots through adjustable drip emitters.
• A way to reduce manual hand-pouring and ensure more consistent soil hydration.
• A tool that can save root systems from “wet/dry pockets” that sometimes happen with hand-watering.
What it is NOT:
• It’s not fully automated irrigation (unless connected to timers or sensors).
• It doesn’t make plant care “hands-free.” You still have to decide when and how much to water.
• It won’t replace observation—plants still speak through their leaves and posture.
What to Expect:
✅ More even watering across pots.
✅ Reduced runoff mess if dialed correctly.
✅ Less physical strain compared to hand-watering each plant.
✅ The chance to experiment with “precision irrigation” in future grows.
What NOT to Expect (yet):
❌ Fully automated feeding schedules.
❌ Perfect calibration out of the box (it takes a few runs to dial flow rate for each pot).
❌ A substitute for plant observation—eyes on the canopy are still the most important tool.
Educational takeaway: Drip systems are bridges between hand-watering and full automation. They give growers consistency without completely removing the grower’s role. For many, this is the sweet spot—technology supporting, not replacing, the human touch.
P.S. #2 – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2: Different Timelines
Another important note this week: the two Mango Kush sisters are not in the exact same stage of flower.
• Pheno #1 – More advanced. She is already in full flower mode, pistils bursting, bud sites defined, white hairs everywhere. This is the classic “week 3 flower look.”
• Pheno #2 – Slower. She is not yet fully in flower. Why? Because she was germinated later and is effectively running a slightly younger internal clock—closer to 11–13 from seed.
👉 With the 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 off), Pheno #2 is taking her time to settle into bloom. This is not a problem, it’s genetics and timing. Each seed is unique, and sometimes phenos stagger into flower.
What this means for the grow:
• Don’t expect both plants to bulk at the same time.
• Pheno #1 may finish earlier.
• Pheno #2 could become the “late bloomer,” giving us a longer harvest window and potentially different terpene expression.
Educational takeaway:
Not all phenotypes follow the same timeline, even under identical conditions. One may stretch earlier, another may flower later. As growers, our role is to adapt and respect the individuality of each plant. 🌱

Frostbanger Plants 1-6
Week 9 May 18– 24
FLOWER 5
Nutrients : 3 gal
GH Micro 20 ml
GH Gro 10 ml
GH Bloom 30ml
CalMag 15 ml
Recharge 10ml
Green sensation 15ml
Power buds 7.5 ml
5/18 PH 6.67, PPM 935, temp 68.5 1 ltr each
5/20 PH 6.67, PPM 1330, temp 68.5 2ltr each
5/23 PH 6.6, PPM 1570, temp 68.5 2ltr each
5/24 pics & vid
Since all 6 gals are getting frosty, I did some trichome pics. The statistics on Frostbanger indicate 50-day flower. Pics show mostly clear and milky.
There are a few with amber trichs and many orange pistils indicating maturation. At least 3 more weeks for maturity on these gals.
I continue manual control of the environment and using 3 circulating fans and the 4” exhaust vent from my 3x3.
I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This creates a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative.
It looks like growth has stopped and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All 6 of them are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. #4, 5 &6 are showing some fade, particularly #4.
Upon opening the tent, a melon smell comes off the buds if I get close, and more stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. They are living up to the new strain’s name. #5 is the frostiest followed by #2. Wow week 3 of flower and that much frost already. Before FastBuds announced the strain name and characteristics, I was disappointed that FBA2502 could be an indica sleepy strain but the universe provides what you need at the time. The new strain profile indicates a whopping 29%THC with mainly sativa uplifting, euphoric, social effects with sweet fruity flavors which I love and enjoy. In addition, I recently bought a dap press and this strain is frosty and resinous. She will be great to press for live rosin.
FBA2502 is FROSTBANGER. Meet Frostbanger Auto, an autoflowering and Indica-leaning hybrid packing a staggeringly high THC content averaging 29%, making this one of the most potent strains on the market. It was created by Fast Buds through crossbreeding Gorilla Glue and Chemdawg, two equally iconic strains. Growers must know that these difficult-to-grow plants will pose specific challenges in terms of environmental control and nutrition, making them best suited for cultivators with some experience under their belt. The flowering cycle is short, averaging only 50 days, and yields are usually around 300g/m². The Frostbanger Auto flavor and aroma are both mouthwatering with a delightful combination of sweet, fruity, and flowery notes. The high is mainly Sativa-driven with uplifting and happiness-inducing effects that lead to euphoria and a general sense of well-being. You might feel sociable and talkative, but too spacey to say something. Following this surge of energy comes a deepening sense of relaxation, leaving you sedated and completely at ease with the world. Due to its potency and these long-lasting effects, medical patients hail Frostbanger Auto for treating chronic pain, stress, and even depression.
Measurements:
#1 15”
#2 20”
#3 17”
#4 30”
#5 31”
#6 24”
P.S I added a no churn ice cream recipe in week 4 of Natronas recipes. It is easy 3 ingredients. I bought Mango puree instead of fresh and reduced that to reduce water content. Try it. 😋

Hey, green warriors and cannabis connoisseurs! 🌱✨ We’re now into week 2 of the flowering stage in our Runtz Battle, and the excitement is building! Our plants are thriving, and the first signs of budding are beginning to show. Let’s dive into the progress and take a closer look at how these beauties are developing.
Week 2 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟
As we move further into the flowering phase, here’s what’s been happening:
• Bud Formation Begins 🌸:
• The Runtz plants are now focusing their energy on flower production. Tiny buds are starting to form at the nodes, and you can already see the potential for a bountiful harvest. The plants are strong and healthy, with dense, vibrant foliage.
• F1 Compactness Continues 🌟:
• The F1 strain remains the most compact of the group, showcasing tight internodal spacing. This compact structure is ideal for maximizing yield and creating dense, resinous buds.
Environmental and Nutrient Update 🌡️💧
We’re maintaining our focus on providing the optimal environment and nutrients to support strong flowering:
• Watering and Nutrients 💧:
• The Autopots are doing their job, keeping the plants consistently hydrated with a TDS of 400 and pH of 6.2. This balance is crucial for nutrient uptake and overall plant health as they develop their flowers.
• We’re continuing with Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The rich, living soil is supplying most of the nutrients, allowing the plants to flourish with minimal additional inputs. This organic approach is part of our test run to see just how effective the soil’s biolife and nutrient mix can be throughout the entire growth cycle.
• Environmental Conditions 🌡️:
• Temperature: Room temperature is stable at 30.3°C, with a cool water temp of 18°C, keeping the roots happy and healthy.
• Humidity: With an RH of 51%, we’re in the perfect range to avoid mold and mildew while still encouraging robust bud growth.
Lighting and Growth 🌟💡
Our lighting setup continues to play a crucial role in the plants’ development:
• Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro 💡:
• The Lumatek Zeus is delivering intense, full-spectrum light, which is essential for strong bud development. The even light distribution is helping to ensure that all parts of the plants receive the energy they need to produce thick, resinous buds.
• TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller 🌡️:
• The TrolMaster system continues to manage the growing environment with precision, ensuring that the plants are kept within the ideal temperature, humidity, and light parameters. This control is vital as we move deeper into the flowering phase, where consistency is key to maximizing yield and quality.
Looking Ahead 🌟🌿
As we head further into flowering, the excitement continues to build. The Runtz plants are thriving, showing early promise for a beautiful and bountiful harvest. With the environmental conditions and nutrient strategy finely tuned, we’re on track for a successful flowering period.
Stay tuned for more updates as these buds continue to develop and the Runtz Battle heats up! Here’s to another week of growth, discovery, and green magic. 🌟💚

Week 02 Introduction
This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully...
[START OF WEEK 02]
Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger!
--- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs.
--- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water
--- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8
--- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton.
- [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now.
--- Even the new leaves are really yellow.
--- Decided to add more base nutes.
--- Added 4ml of Sensi A
--- Added 4ml of Sensi B
--- Now at about
--- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM.
--- PH was at 6,
--- Also raised the water level a bit more.
--- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue.
--- Please live!
Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow.
--- Decided to do a reservoir change.
--- 4.5gal of distilled water
--- 8ml of Sensi Grow A
--- 8ml of Sensi Grow B
--- 8ml of Voodoo Juice
--- 4ml of B-52
--- 4ml of CaliMagic
--- 4ml of Hydroguard
--- 4 drops of Superthrive
--- PH'd down to 5.8
--- Solution strength: 302 PPM
--- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm).
--- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice?
--- I hope she gets better soon!
- [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow.
--- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear.
--- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon.
--- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton.
--- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM.
--- Added 8ml more of Sensi A
--- Added 8ml more of Sensi B
--- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water.
--- PPMs went up to 411.
--- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay.
--- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1.
Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: Looks like more root growth!
--- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky.
--- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8.
--- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs
--- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot.
- [2200]: Root is getting longer!
--- Slime is returning. Not sure why.
--- Solution strength: 357 PPMs
--- PH: 6.1
--- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime.
--- Added 16ml of Sensizym
--- Added 5ml of Hydroguard
--- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice
--- New solution strength: 430 PPMs
--- New PH: 6.1
--- Top fed for a minute.
--- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime.
--- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl!
Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011
-----------------------------------
- [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now!
--- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured!
--- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients.
--- Added 8ml of Sensi A
--- Added 8ml of Sensi B
--- Added 4ml of B-52
--- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs.
--- PH was at 6.1
--- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels.
- [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime!
--- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria.
--- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs.
--- PH was at 6.2
--- Added 8ml of Bud Candy
--- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs.
--- PH also went up to 6.3
--- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth.
--- Top fed for a minute.
--- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow.
Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012
-----------------------------------
- [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime.
--- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity.
--- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs
--- PH was at 6.3
--- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536.
--- PH was still at 6.3
--- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute.
- [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though.
--- Solution strength: 514 PPMs
--- PH: 6.5
--- Added PH down.
--- New solution strength: 518 PPMs
--- New PH: 5.2
--- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low.
--- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton.
Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow.
--- Solution strength: 514 PPMs
--- PH: 5.6
--- Top fed for a minute.
--- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then.
- [2145]: Looking pretty much the same.
--- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected.
--- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good.
--- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything.
--- Lowered the water level to below the net pot.
--- Then top fed for a minute.
Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014
-----------------------------------
- [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY!
--- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean.
--- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful.
--- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket.
--- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot.
--- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo.
--- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength).
--- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form.
--- Then I ran the water pump.
- [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines.
--- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution.
--- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak.
- [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton.
- [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system.
--- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot.
--- Ran system again to sterilize even more.
- [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse.
--- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again.
--- Did this a few more times over about an hour.
- [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water.
--- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A
--- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B
--- Added 12ml of B-52
--- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice
--- Added 16ml Sensizym
--- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs
--- PH was at 5.6
--- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up.
--- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients.
--- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute.
--- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better!

Progress is there. One of them is not doing so well but is starting to show a little bit of life. We’ll see where she is by the end of the week.

Hey everyone :-).
The last plants were also placed in the bloom chamber kammer.
Everyone has made great progress this week 🙏🏻.
There is not much to say about this week, I think videos and pictures say more like words 🙈😎.
I wish you all a good start into the week :-) Stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍

She's well structured so far & I'm okay with that.
We're in no rush, this isn't a rat race.
I'm just letting her do her.

Harvest day 61
since time switch
to 12 / 12 h
Hey guys :-)
Finally it's time 💚
The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room.
You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and 55-62% humidity.
After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62.
After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-).
After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures.
Let's get to the plant 💚.
First of all I would like to compliment Ganja Farmer for the great genetics.
Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste.
The growth was great from start to finish.
She had no problems at all and also had no problems with animals : 1:.
I'm amazed at the great smell the beautiful buds give off😀.
Of course I cut cuttings and if the taste is as good as the smell it will be grown again ☺️.
A final report comes with the Smoke Report.
Until then, I would like to say thank you to the whole ganja farmer team and wish you all the best fun with the diary 💚🙏🏻
Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻

day 14 added 1/2tbsp magnesium sulfate in 5gal water along with regular flower water amendments. 1gal of water per day average, bridal and thunder can take more water. Ph 6.8 today
day 15 I will defoliate in a few days :) day 15 video, you see some stem action
day 16 video
day 17 I added (4x20w daisy-chained)80w of poop purple ancient leds Keep adding soluble PK, organic booster etc. I see the stacks relax on defoliation for a few days, maybe tomorrow morning (skip day21) I feel like I will be able to chop week 6-7 as my last grow, push hard fast-continue everything is great, soon bridal and thunder will require 1gal water per day. I would like to see even more mass. I'm extremely happy, starting to see frost
day18. BIG UPDATE many short vids of final defoliation(ahead of "day 21"). Wild amendments appeared! Any recommendations for a lawnmower? Bridalparty stretched over an inch overnight, led touch diode burn on 1 spot. Raised lights slightly, Added new amendments into water. Bridal wants to drink more than 1gal per day, So I will be using almost 5gal-ish water per day not denying the plant needs-watering. I am very happy! defoliation took about 4h today.
