Friends, as some of you may not know, “2nd time around Candy Auto” is named 2nd time because my puppies ate the first plant. I am so glad I grew another @Divine Seed Candy Auto because she is getting fat and smelling up my backyard. According to @DivineSeed Candy Auto my plant should have thick side buds as well AND it does. I tried to capture a few side pictures of my buds so you could see them. I am quite impressed with this plant. I am in the 5th week of flowering, which equates to 35 days. According to @DivineSeeds, Auto Candy needs 60 days minimum of flower time. As usual, I clipped off a bud so I could get some close up pics of her. I smelled the bud and just like @Divine Seeds boasts, it has a flowery/sweet smell. Miss Candy Auto is truly a beautiful scent. In addition, she is extremely sticky to the touch. Take a look at the close up pictures I took with my Max-see magnifier!! It is just about time to start flushing her. Stay tuned to next week to see how 2nd Time Around Candy Auto is doing! As always, Be Happy!! Comments and Likes are appreciated!! Susquihanna

8/2: Everybody is potted up in a 3 gallon pot now. I sprayed them all with Boom Boom Spray one day, and foliar fed with kelp and Superthive all week. They got their first real feeding with TPS One and seemed to like it. I also gave them a little molasses.

Added KMPS once a day to the Reservoir to reach ~450 mV ORP. Added Yara Kristalon Blue and Calcinit 1:1, no ml values, used the fertilizer to reach stated EC values. PH correction with Phosphoric Acid. Some roots are showing but hard to see on pictures due to my bad endoscopic camera. Noticed that the plant is spinning, kinda funny :) PPFD 300, DLI 19 Values are average of the day.

Week 9 – Day 65 Flower Day 35 🔄 Looking back: One of those weeks where everything just runs smoothly… 😎 The BioBizz pH+ is finally making a difference: 📈 Drain pH is now increasing by 0.1 to 0.2 points – a noticeable improvement compared to Canna pH+. Other than that – just the usual routine: water, observe, and enjoy the view 🙌 🌿 Plant status – Mimosa Evo 📏 Holding steady at 104 cm, stretch is definitely over 🌼 Bud development is progressing steadily – no issues at all ✅ Still the most reliable performer in the tent – strong, stable, and stress-free!

1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258 1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow. 1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!! I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system: Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil PH DOWN= 30mil Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance. 1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0 1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today. 1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!! 1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

Beginning of week... The flushing has begun! I flushed with 1L of just pH'd filtered water.. Then flushed with 1L of distilled water.. Not pH'd.. Havent used FloraKleen yet, wanting to get the TDS down as much as possible, then using the FloraKleen to remove the leftover nutrients and whatnot.. Next day... Flushed with FloraKleen in distilled water pH'd to 6.3.. Runoff is now reading 50 PPM 6.3 pH.. She is doing great.. Can't wait to see what this strain is all about! Mid week.. Man, this plant smells so amazing! I can't wait to taste this girl! I've just been giving her refrigerated distilled water daily.. I'm gonna start using JUST rainwater pH'd to 6.2 - 6.3 once this gallon of distilled is used up lol.. So far, I've gotten the runoff TDS down to 30 PPM.. Perfection! Can only get better (...or stay the same.. That's fine too lol) from now till harvest.. I may do the 48 hours of darkness.. But that's next week.. Love this strain so much! End of week.. I don't think this strain is a colorful one.. Which is fine.. Quality is still there for sure! The smell is awesome! Milky/cloudy trichomes.. She should be ready for harvest in another 7 - 8 days! I can't wait to taste this girl! Just plain, low TDS, pH'd water till then. On to the (last) next week!...

Bud development going strong this week, seeing lots of sugar leaves and new bud sites forming each day. Hoping to see the buds stack a little more soon. All seven plants are in flower now, this purple trainwreck plant being the furthest along. She should have another 4-6 weeks left before her chop.

As you can see from the third picture on day 29 she is looking a little ugly and unkept. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or something I need to take action on. Advice would be great. So day 30 rolling around. Decided I had to try LST again. She felt more receptive to being bent over today as well. I mainly had to attempt it for space reasons. With the current covid panic all the markets where I buy my buckets from are closed and I can't procure a new one to increase my height for probably a couple of weeks at this rate so LST was my only option. She seems to have taken well to it and I will upload a finished picture of her shortly. Day 32, watered and fed her. 500ml of water plus .3ml each of fox farm trio. Hoping to see her perk up a bit. Concerned about the large brown spot on one of her leaves which made me think she was having a deficiency? Probably a bit early to worry about buds fattening up also but I am worried they are looking a bit airy at the moment on the non main cola sites. I'm not sure if my LST was effective at tricking her into trying to have more than one top cola? Day 33. No noticeable gains today, at least to my eyes. I can spot a little nute burn perhaps but hopefully nothing too serious. Looks like a cola that isn't the original top is starting to fill out just as much, if not more, than the original top though. Hoping they all catch up at a similar pace to each other and reduce the pop corn nug potential! Day 35. She has shown a few more bud sites since last post. I am worried that she is going to produce a fair bit of larf/popcorn bud and wanted to know how to get rid of that? I am not confident to remove any growth without knowing for sure it has a beneficial impact on the overall health of the plant and the final results. Any advise is appreciated. She also seemed a bit thirsty to me. The leaves were feeling a bit thin and dry so I gave her 1L of water with .7ml each of fox farm trio. Hopefully she responds well. I will check her in an hour or so to see if the leaves are starting to point back up - fingers crossed.

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.

420 Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 4 Hello fellow growmie's this week has been awesome for growth. I would say the two girls probably grown 6in in the past week and recovered very well from the mild defoliation I did a week prior. I still only feed just 2 liters of well water daily and they both show no signs of any nute deficiencies. It still has been super hot with Temps in the high 90's but over all keeping plenty of air movement seems to be working good. All in all Happy Growing.
