Sticky Mango Auto — Week 4 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Late Veg → Early Flower Transition ⸻ Growth Overview By Week 4, a noticeable size difference has developed between the two plants. One plant is nearly double the size of the other, while the smaller plant has entered early flower first, showing visible white pistils. This staggered development is not uncommon in autoflowers and appears to be influenced by early root-zone moisture differences. The larger plant remains in late vegetative growth, while the smaller plant is clearly transitioning into flower. ⸻ Moisture Management & Wicking Adjustments 2/1 Signs of overwatering observed. Pots were placed on stands to remove them from the wicking rope and mat. The absorbent pad was removed from the pot showing more stress, while the healthier plant remained on the mat. After ~11 hours, both plants were returned to their wicking material. 2/2 Plants continued to show signs of excess moisture. Both were again placed on stands to fully disconnect from the wicking ropes. 2/3 Decided to extend dry-back by another 24 hours to allow the root zone to re-oxygenate. These adjustments helped slow water uptake and encouraged healthier root respiration before flower onset. ⸻ Flower Initiation 2/5 First signs of flower observed — white pistil hairs visible. 2/6 Smaller plant clearly showing pistils. Both plants were low-stress trained by tying down branches to open structure and manage height differences. ⸻ Feeding Log — 2/6 • Total volume: 1 gallon (split evenly) • Amount: ½ gallon per plant • PPM: 877 • pH: 5.9 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si — 1 ml • Micro — 5 ml • Grow — 2 ml • Bloom — 4 ml • CaliMagic — 1.5 ml • Floralicious Plus — 1 ml ⸻ Nutrient Strategy & Purpose (Week 4 Transition) Armor Si (Silica) Used to strengthen cell walls and improve stress resistance. Especially important here due to recent moisture stress, training, and the upcoming stretch phase. Micro Provides essential micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper) that support chlorophyll production and enzyme activity. Keeps growth balanced as the plant shifts metabolic focus toward flowering. Grow (Reduced) Nitrogen is still needed, but at a lowered rate. This supports continued leaf function without pushing excess vegetative growth, which can be counterproductive once flowering begins—especially for the smaller plant already showing pistils. Bloom (Increased) Phosphorus and potassium are ramped up to support flower initiation, root signaling, and early bud site development. This helps both plants transition smoothly despite their size difference. CaliMagic Calcium supports cell division and structural growth, while magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production. Critical in coco, especially during stretch and early flower when demand increases. Floralicious Plus Provides organic acids and bioactive compounds that enhance nutrient uptake, improve root efficiency, and help buffer stress from training and environmental adjustments. ⸻ Notes Going Forward With one plant entering flower ahead of the other, feeding will remain balanced but conservative on nitrogen while continuing to support early bloom development. Moisture management will stay a priority to prevent further root stress and ensure a smooth transition into full flower.

Just got a new 600w mh/hps light for now it’s in my current setup with my 250 n it’s dimmed to 50%, only reason I mention is b/c the plants seem to be loving it!! They’re 12 days old from seed, still just ph’d water for them! So far so good :P

Very pleased with this grow so far, I often mess up photo periods one way or another but think im getting somewhere now. I am growing in a mixture of soil and coco with plenty of perlite and it seems to working out better than just in soil , I have also added a few worms not sure if their still allive but will find out later. The pistols are still white so hopefully they will turn amber soon. I have one more seed left of this strain so I am hopeful it will be nice. I am looking forward to seeing it chopped soon to make way for my wedding cake which will probably have to share the tent later with another auto

6/19/2024 These are going to be My next run. Excited Transplanted into 1 gal and added (too) much myko powder. 6/23 she completely drooped and is showing signs of stress or shock. 6/25bent her in half. She was starting to harden off(up?) But I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with her yet. I knew I was going to train or top or something. She wouldn't become much more than a single cola and a handful of buds(I assume). Either way I can shape her up as we go. 🙈🙉🙊 6/24/24 applied veg nutes. Terp tea grow 711. A single tsp or 5 ml per gallon of substrate. I need to remember to add uprising foundation as well

What a week !!! This was an absolute pleasure to grow , I don't deal with alot of sativa dominant grows, so having something get this much height on one week was pretty cool to see !! This one is about 6 days from going into flower, she REALLY liked to be plucked !!! Not very often do plants take so well from losing their large fan leaves like this one did !!

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 01/03/19 || To/Hasta: 07/03/19 From day/Desde día: 8 || To day/Hasta día: 14 You can find the Gorillas Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: Timelaspe video covering 5 days, from Monday 4th night to Sunday 9th afternoon/night. One second Blackouts on video represents night times. I'm sorry for the dancing of colours specially first days, i will try to do it better next time. The background song is from the old awesome album "Deep Forest" of Deep Forest "Sweel Lullably" song (I think i'm going to use this song for almost all timelapse plant growing videos). -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I'm sorry about the delay updating this week, i traveled to Venice at the end of this week and that's why it's late and i have very few or non photos of the next week. I wish the almost 5 days timelapse video can cover the lack of images for the next week. As you can see the Moneys are growing very equitative, the one that looked small last week is now of the same size as the other one. among the 4 plants shown in the group photos, only one has some kind of problem, and is not a Money maker :). As soon as i could perform a man-lining on any of the moneys i will. LST STRUCTURE: To prevent breaking or making holes in the pot i designed this LST structure in blender and I printed it in 3D. They fit perfectly in the 8l RootPoch pots, so at time i didn't fixed them to the pots. If i see any of the plants lifting the structure i will just add weigh over it. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 06/03/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients and 1 CO2 tablet over the soil @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (I'm going to travel to Venice till Sunday so i watered well) *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: Vídeo TimeLapse que cubre 5 días, desde el lunes 4 por la noche hasta el domingo 9 por la tarde/noche. Los negros de 1 segundo que aparecen en el vídeo indican las noches. Siento mucho las variaciones de color entre los días, especialmente los primeros, la siguente vez intentare tener mejor color y más estable. La canción que suena de fondo es de un album antiguo maravilloso llamado "Deep Forest" de Deep Forest, la canción es "Sweet Lullably" y creo que la voy a usar en todos los timelapses de cultivo). -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Siento el retraso en el update de esta semana, me pilló el fin de la semana con un viaje que he hecho a Venecia y por esta razón llega tarde esta semana y de la siguiente tengo pocas fotos, espero cubrirlo bien con el vídeo timelapse que he hecho de casi 6 días Como se puede apreciar, las Moneys están creciendo equitativamente, la que parecía pequeña la semana pasada, se ha puesto a la par con la otra. De entre las 4 plantas que aparecen en las fotos de grupo, sólo una tiene algún tipo de problema, y no es una de las Money. Tan pronto como pueda man-lining en una de las Moneys se lo haré, creo que va a ser en semana 4. ESTRUCTURA LST: Para no agujerear los tiestos he diseñado esta estructura para LST con blender y la he impreso en 3D. Se ajusta a la perfección a los RootPoch de 8 Litros pro lo que de momento no la he fijado al tieso ni suelo mediante nada, si veo que alguna de las plantas la levanta, simplemente pondré peso sobre la estructura. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 06/03/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales y una pastilla de CO2 sobre la tierra @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (Como voy a viajar unos días he regado bien)

d43 - 9.26 - Recovering quite nicely. Was able do just about all the training and trimming I want to before I switch to flower around the end of week 8. My Fast White Widows are definitely more ground hugging, while the Black Sugars are reachers, but still manageable. They have all been trained to best fit the recovery of each individual plant, so my canopy definitely isn't going to be even 😅Nonetheless, grateful they have been resilient little buggers and happy for the chance to take them flower, regardless of whether I'll have the picture perfect tent. 🙏 D47 - 9.30 - I lied. I had to train a little more. One BS cola was really outgrowing the rest, and the opposite side of plant had taken for damage from bug treatment two weeks ago so i HST'd it back and spread the other. Still planning to flower them in 7-14 days!

d103 Han crecido modo bestia, la melon gum le tendré que aplicar un poco mas de LST, no cabe dentro, probablemente le csmbie el sitio por la Mimosa Evo, que no es tan grande, esto tiene muy buena pinta, LSD tiene las ramas de la parte trasera bastante más pequeñas que la parte delantera, pero esta bien grandota. d106 se les han hecho un poco de LST para que no crezcan hacia arriba y hagan más desarrollo lateral.

9/8 -Checked the trichomes on Cream Cookies to my surprise she's almost ready! She was at 5% Clear, 90% Cloudy, 5% Amber. Started flushing this week. Already beginning to see leaves yellow which is exactly what I'm looking for. -Buds are really filling out and the plant is absolutely resin packed. Comparable to a photoperiod. Very happy with these genetics -Hoping to yield tripple digits! 9/14 -Cream Cookies Harvested today and began to hang dry! Haven't got any weights yet as I think wet weight is irrelevant. Will update final numbers in around 1 week when flowers are dried properly and begin curing! Very Amazing smell. Notes of pineapple, citrus, and a sweet smell. Very pleasant smell. Extremely potent as well.

I’ve been experimenting with solar powered lights for an extended vegetative period…so far she looks extremely healthy…I Defoliated the lower branches and moulded her also.

03/24/2021 Been a slow transition week, starting to see pistils but not flowering been on 12-12 just under a week so expecting to see some flowers soon, gave some 4-10-3 with IBA so hopefully she is putting out extra roots before she starts to flower, I know my cuttings root better under 12-12 so fingers crossed. Hoping root & grow does the good job.

11/25/2022: starting to see some changes in the lower leaf coloring of the Orange Bubblegum which is a bit surprising since this one started flowering last. Not sure what it is yet. The pot was pretty light, so it could be a watering issue, or maybe nitrogen, based on the lower leaf yellowing. Hit all the plants with a double dose of BuildABloom, some Yah-Whey Thrive, coconut powder, and ThermX-70, so we'll see how she reacts. Could also be lockout from the crazy microbe tea. I'll have to wait and see. The other two plants look great. I also appear to be winning the fungas gnat battle. The Strawberry Gushers still has a population, bit the other to plants have little to no gnats at this point. Included mosquito bits, and neem cake in today's watering as well, so hopefully that will finish them off. Getting down to the final few weeks for the Strawberry Gushers, but the Orange Bubblegum, and Newberry still have another month to go. 11/30/2022: plants are all still healthy. The yellowing of the few lower leaves of the Orange Bubblegum has not spread, so I think the extra dose of BuildABloom did the trick. Also, the neem seed tea caused the ph of the water to drop to around 5, and I didn't bring the ph up the first few roundsnof this, so that could have caused some lock out. My last watering and todays i made sure the ph was at 6.8, so that may have helped as well. I know the organic soil should be a ph buffer, but I still feel the need to ph my water. Today's watering was 1 liter for each plant which included the ThermX-70, coconut powder, and Fish Shit. I also scoped the plants for the first time, and I'm seeing about ver few amber on mainly the leaves. The rest of the plants are about 70% cloudy and 30% clear, so we still have some time, which is right in line with what I expected. 12/1/2022: the fungas gnat war continues. I seem to keeping the population under control, but there are still too many for my liking. I've taken a new tactic and added some beneficial nematodes. Hoping this will wipe them out. I know I just watered yesterday, but couldn't wait, so I gave each plant about 3/4 liter of nematode and ThermX-70 water, ph was 6.9. Still seeing some yellowing on the Orange Bubblegum but only on the lowest leaves which receive the least light. The Strawberry Gushers is definitely beginning to fade, and all 3 are swelling. 12/3/2022: watered each plant with 1.3 liters, at a 6.7 ph, with coconut powder, ThermX-70, and BuildABloom. The Strawberry Gushers and Orange Bubblegum are fading. The Newberry still looks good, except for the one branch with the early fade. Buds look great and all three continue to swell. Still a few fungas gnats flying around, but the population is way down. Plan to water with the nematodes again next watering. Also, started turning the light down slightly. Started with a 50 ppfd reduction. Avg. VPD:1.5 PPFD: 650 DLI: 42

Wow these genetics are awesome the plant has grown so much in the last week after i put her into the bigger pot. The growth took off fast after I topped her and started to spread her out with the LST training . Been feeding her hard and I'm looking forward to how this next week is going to go lots of growth .. Thanks for checking in and cheers canna family ..
