She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

The little ones are developing well, unfortunately there are a few minor nutrient problems in the direction of Calmag with the Morello Cherries and also slight signs of this with the TerpyZ Punch. I counteracted this with a foliar spray. The pH value of the hydrosystem has unfortunately dropped a little to 5.5, which I have equalised with ph up from Plagron. The plants are currently getting light between 800-900 ppfd and as soon as the stretch starts, l'll increase this to 1000 ppfd. Both ladies are slowly starting to smell.

Mainlining is progressing nicely. The main stem was topped at the 3rd node, and each main branch was topped again at the 3rd node to build a clean and symmetrical manifold. I always wait until the branches have 5 nodes before topping, to make sure the plant is strong enough to handle the stress. This week I performed a selective defoliation and some light LST, only to guide the branches and keep everything level. I’m still deciding between 8 or 12 main colas, depending on how the plant continues to respond. In the video you can clearly see the before and after of defoliation and training 🌱💪

Starting to finish up. Beautiful looking this time. Looks really aggressiv and smells just the same. The sour is too stretchy for my liking tho and takes too long time to finish

Welcome, plant enthusiasts and accidental garden comedians, to the whimsical tale of Week 9 in my botanical circus! This week was a leafy spectacular, with more drama than a soap opera and more twists than a contortionist at a leafy circus. First in the spotlight is the topping extravaganza – imagine my plants auditioning for a leafy talent show, and voila! One of the ladies went above and beyond, not with one or two, but three tops! It's like my garden is hosting its own version of "America's Got Leafs," and the contestants are aiming for a standing ovation from the tiny plant audience. Now, onto the nutrient boost – it's like my plants discovered a secret stash of leafy steroids. They're devouring those nutrients like they stumbled upon an all-you-can-eat salad bar. If my garden had a Yelp page, it would probably say, "Five stars for the gourmet buffet – would photosynthesize again!" But with great growth comes great thirst, or so my diva plants declare. I can practically hear them demanding water with the urgency of a plant water-seeking missile. "Hydrate us, human! We're not just thirsty; we're in a botanical drought crisis!" And now, the grand revelation – last week's leafy fashion faux pas was all thanks to a faulty pH pen. The plants probably threw a mini leaf party when I introduced the new pH pen, complete with tiny leaf confetti. They're like, "Finally, accurate pH readings – no more plant tie-dye nightmares!" In a twist of fate, I had to embark on a plant-less journey for a few days. So, like a responsible plant parent on a comedy tour, I decided to water a bit earlier and a bit more before my departure. And lo and behold, the plants loved it! It's like they threw me a farewell bash, chanting "Water, water, party, party!" in their own leafy language. The early topping and Leafy Synchronized Training (LST) maneuvers have clearly paid off. My plants are now strutting their stuff like runway models in a botanical fashion show. I picture them doing the leafy version of the cha-cha. So, Week 9 has been a laugh-out-loud masterpiece – from topping triumphs to nutrient raves, from hydration demands to pH pen dramas. As I return to my green kingdom, I can't help but feel like a plant ringmaster who has navigated the garden circus with flair. Stay tuned for the next episode of "The Green Carnival" – where every leaf has its own act, and every week is a new leafy adventure under the big, green tent! 🌿🎪🌟

I cut of some of the bigger leaves off as they we're creating a lot of darkness inside the plant.

With the water I was going from 50/100ml slow to the 400/500,so I'm changing time to time my water until they are big enough and then I only feed 1/1,5L water,That's how it goes every time I'm growing the water cycle

I didn't get to this until midweek. Humidity was higher than I like and soil moisture was low. Rotated this plant 90 degrees clockwise to ensure even light. Added 36 oz of water on top of what the drippers are delivering. Drippers were also moved 90 degrees to ensure even soil moisture. Humidity was lowered to 45%. Starting flush this week. Began with pH'ed water only in the dripper. Will be adding water only with no nutrients for the rest of the week. Pistils are about 50% brown and the trichomes are getting cloudy. Buds are looking good. This plant still has about a week until harvest. By the end of the week the buds are filled out. The pistils have mostly turned brown. The trichomes are clear, milky, AND amber... in the same view. Many shots are both clear and amber. I want a more active high so this plant is coming down next week. I think it is ready. It is very confusing seeing so many clear and amber trichomes on the same bud.

The plant again doubled in size. Not sure if it’s the light, but the plant is growing super bushy. I have already started removing some of the inner shoots, to focus the energy into building some length. The roots are developing phenomenally and she seems to be overall quite happy. Once she is a bit taller, I will probably top her to make sure that I can fill the SCR.O.G. Properly. Light intensity is currently set to somewhere around 80% veg only.

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, Dog Doctor 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

day 44 - The growth process continues unabated. I am waiting for the desired size. 8 days after flowering it didn't grow as much as I thought it would, so we went back to the growing season. 👽 day 49 - I decided not to cut the leaves anymore after much defoliation. It easily tolerates strong stress easy to grow.
