- Week 7 - ----- Day 43 ----- Fed 1150ppm @ 6.4ph 23 Liters. Hard to get above 1200 ppm now. More molasses being used, maximum Koolbloom dry powder as well. Tropicanna Glookies is starting to turn purple. Wedding Cake is fattening up FAST More photos later this afternoon mid light cycle. *Update* Big bulk phase is 100% on right now. Wedding Cake is thicker than a tall can of beer in 4-5 nugs easily. Tropicanna Glookies is sweating out trichomes and getting super sticky while slowly turning purple Great things await for these 2 ladies over the next 20 days. *Update* 2 close up shots of some purpling on the Tropicanna Glookies. ----- Day 44 ----- Here's a video. slow easy day of nothing ----- Day 45 ----- I see a tiny bit of yellowing at edges, nothing serious. I don't have to feed every 2 days now anyways its slowed to 3. I top off the ones near turgor pressure loss levels ( I check my whole hand down side of pot for moisture now) with tap water when needed today. Tomorrow will be feeding ~1000ppm most likely due to using Diamond Nectar chelating nutrients with large amounts of blackstrap molasses when combined and left in the reservoir before use. This seems to drop the detectable ppm even though it retains a high level of nutrient content... with Cal/mag (1-0-0) and KoolBloom Powder which is like a 0-30-40 its wildly powerful. Back right Tropicanna smells like Pineapple Sour Patch Kids without the sour. Its insane. I wish I had smell o' vision for you folks right now. Wedding Cake is like sugary sweet but weed esque... earthy esque type of thing. Not the Tropicanna... Shits fruity like kool-aid. Nugs are getting humongous and its pretty fun to watch it fill in, I had a low level anxiety of it never "Filling" in... but yea it's day 45 and look at Big Bertha... nearly dwarfing my fat ass arm... wild shit. Feel like these ladies have at least another 14~ days on the lower end. Wedding Cake should finish a week after Tropicanna... Trying to grab Wedding Cake "indica" tendencies and max them by going for 40-50% amber, 60-50% cloudy trichomes with under 2% (like literally 1-3 clear per 60X magnifying pic) clear trichomes. Tropicanna only 20% ish amber until clear is only about 20% of trichome and cloudy makes up roughly 60% of total trichome finishing... ----- Day 46 ----- Easy day Fed 1050ppm @ 6.4ph 13 Liters only. I want the root zones to dry out more and quicker, less chance of mold and other root rot issues. Cutting watering/feeding in half now but will be feeding prob twice as much. Buds are fattening FAST and are turning purple. Looks like I got the purple pheno Wedding Cake. Woot. ----- Day 47 ----- Easy day Buds are gettin freaky. Really poppin out now. It's quite awesome to see. **Update** *** HEIGHT CHANGE EXPLAINED! *** Took the Tropicanna's off the pot risers I DIY'd and brought them to the floor. Gives light in between the 2 plants at the side and also helps remove any light burn on the tropicanna, as I have been noticing a very slight tinting of too much light in the central part of the tent. Plants look incredible, tiny bit of tip burn but im not too worried, I'm feeding 1000-1200 ppm at the moment. Speaking of which, fed some tap water, 500ml each, they were dry enough to warrant a turgor pressure loss top up. Feeding tomorrow. Enjoy some lights off shots. ----- Day 48 ----- Fed @ 1150ppm 6.4ph 13L Easy peasy lemon squeezy, here's a new video for you guys n gals. 14~ days to go. ----- Day 49 ----- They're getting super thirsty again. woke up dry. gave 500ml tap water each plant. Will do the same this evening. Tomorrow feeding going to go to 16 Liters instead of 13 Liters. I'm lazy and don't want to water daily. Plants look phenomenal, buds are getting massive. The Wedding Cake on the left is throwing out paintbrushes thick of pistils, it's quite insane. Gonna be a hell of a plant around day 63!!! Day 53 i'll start checkin trichomes and start posting x20-x60 shots.

Hi folks, now it’s almost the end of the fourth week. Three days ago, I had to repot from a 1.5-liter container to an 11-liter fabric pot. Everything went smoothly. I was a bit nervous, but it turned out to be no problem. The roots have spread throughout the entire pot and along the edges, and they looked fresh and healthy. 🌿 She is growing very well in my opinion. Two of the lower leaves are yellow and limp, but the rest are beautifully green and juicy. Happy growing boysNgirls :)

Crystals & Constellations – The Rise of Auto Moon Rock” 💎 Week 3 of bloom, and my Auto Moon Rock by Divine Seeds is absolutely stealing the show. While her Pablo Escobar sister already impressed me, Moon Rock takes it a step further with a terpene profile that’s nothing short of jaw-dropping. Every time I unzip the tent, I’m greeted by an aroma so rich, layered, and intense—it’s like a bouquet of sweet, earthy, and exotic notes wrapped into one. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had a plant give me this kind of olfactory experience before, and we’re only just getting started. 🌿💫 This week I carried out a careful defoliation to open up her structure. By removing large fan leaves and shaded undergrowth, I’ve ensured better airflow and light penetration across the canopy. Now the forming buds are bathed in direct light, and she can push her energy right where it matters most—into swelling flowers and resin production. She bounced back quickly, showing her vigor and ability to handle training like a champion. ✂️🌞 Visually, she’s thriving: lush, deep-green foliage, vibrant pistils stretching out with confidence, and an overall structure that just screams potential. She’s clearly loving the conditions and responding to every bit of care I give her. Here’s the current setup and stats for this week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 2 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz Bloom – 2 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz TopMax – 1 ml/L 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/L 🔸 pH locked at 6.3 🔸 EC steady at 2000 µS 🔸 VPD 1,04-1,3 🔸 Dechlorinated water only 🔸 Homebrewed compost tea & effective microorganism I captured her growth in a brand-new Growlapse video 📹✨. You can literally watch her transform day by day, spreading her branches and filling the space. Even my Auto Candy by Divine Seeds makes a little cameo in the footage, showing off her own vibrant growth—always fun to see them side by side. All in all, I couldn’t be happier with where she’s at. The combination of structure, color, and that one-of-a-kind aroma makes me confident this strain is going to finish in spectacular fashion. One thing’s for sure: Divine Seeds really created a masterpiece with Auto Moon Rock—and I’m beyond excited for what the next weeks of bloom will bring. 🌙💎🔥

Buenas a todos familia, 4 semana ya.Recta final del periodo de crecimiento,conforme cambiemos el foco cambiamos el fotoperiodo a 12/12 . El trasplante fue un éxito, no hubo complicación ninguna. La tierrra que usamos fue PLAGON LIGHT MIX. Todo va sobre ruedas , la condiciones en crecimiento fueron óptimas , las power plant xl, aún que parezca que no, acabarán recuperando, solo les falta ese pequeño estirón y ale.

Today's day 57 and as you can see she's already starting to fade... I'm going to give her some recharge and a couple days I've been weekly top feeding with the terp tea bloom and watering with silica in between nothing has changed it's been the same regimen from beginning to now.. this isn't the biggest plant but I blame that on organics or at least the organics I'm using anyway.. I might do one more run just to use up what I have and then I'm going back to my maxi bloom and growing monsters again.. Zamnesia Seeds is awesome in this watermelon candy smells absolutely amazing.. I highly recommend checking them out Zamnesia Seeds that is as they have awesome genetics awesome loyalty program one of the best websites I've been on hands down and the friendliest people to deal with.. as you can see there's a lot of fade going on a big lack of nitrogen which I'm not used to but I'm guessing with organics this is how it goes.. hope everyone is doing well and I will update throughout the week if need be.. good luck God bless and happy growing ✌️😎 https://www.zamnesia.com/us/

🌸 Week 6 Flower – The Weight of Beauty The Mango Kush sisters have stepped fully into their bloom rhythm. By this stage, the playful stretch is over — it’s all about bud building, resin production, and flower density. Both phenos are expressing themselves in unique ways, but they share one truth: they’re thriving, heavy, and ready to impress. ⸻ 🌱 The State of the Sisters • Pheno #1 The leader of the pack. Her buds are stacking densely, pistils still vibrant but starting to settle, and trichomes glisten under every angle of light. She’s asking for support now — her flowers are getting heavy and starting to bend the branches. • Pheno #2 She may have started later, but she’s catching up beautifully. Her colas are filling in, and resin production is kicking in strong. She’s a little more delicate, but her structure is holding steady. Educational takeaway: By Week 6, flower weight starts to increase dramatically. Support (stakes, nets, or ties) becomes essential to prevent branches from snapping under the load. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week we continued with the bloom-focused recipe, keeping the balance tight and letting the boosters do their work. We also reintroduced Aptus All-in-One Liquid to provide a stable NPK boost after noticing slight deficiencies earlier. Recipe Highlights: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L → Stress resistance & nutrient flow • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L → Calcium & magnesium support for heavy flowers • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L → Balanced NPK for mid-flower demand • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L → Pushing flower set further • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L → Enhancing aroma, resin, and resilience • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L → Density and trichome support Educational takeaway: Mid-flower is the peak of nutrient demand. The plant is working harder than ever — pushing energy into flower mass and resin production. Balanced feeding here prevents deficiencies while avoiding overfeeding. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Temps: Still running warm at times, peaking above comfort, but airflow and circulation are holding the canopy safe. • Humidity: Fluctuating but managed, keeping VPD in a range where plants can still transpire efficiently. • CO₂: Sitting steady, helping the plants maximize photosynthesis despite the slightly higher heat. Observation: The girls are drinking daily now. With big flowers forming, water demand skyrockets. We water once soil moisture drops around ~20% to keep a steady rhythm. ⸻ 💡 Light Orchestra The Mango Kush beauties continue under their four-light ensemble: • ThinkGrow Model One → canopy penetration • ThinkGrow ICL-300s → filling mid-canopy shadows • Future of Grow Black Series 600W → strong balanced spectrum • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro → evening the footprint The synergy here ensures every bud site, top to bottom, is touched by clean, even light. This is why we’re seeing full, consistent flower formation across the plants. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not) ✅ Expect in Week 6–7: • Buds gaining weight daily • Trichome density increasing fast — the “frosty” look appearing • Aroma starting to thicken noticeably in the grow room • Support systems becoming necessary to hold the branches ❌ Don’t Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (still maturing) • Final color changes (anthocyanins & fade come later) • Harvest cues (pistils and trichomes are still developing) Educational takeaway: Week 6 is “mid-bloom maturity” — the girls are past stretch, fully in flower, but not yet in their finishing stage. It’s a moment of steady building. ⸻ 🌿 Closing Notes The Mango Kush sisters are showing their genetics proudly. The Hindu Kush backbone gives strong structure and resilience, while the Mango side whispers hints of fruitiness when brushing past the canopy. This week, their beauty is in their weight and glow — heavy flowers, sticky resin, and the quiet promise of what’s still to come. ⸻ 💚 Grower’s Reflection “This is the week where you realize the reward is real — the buds are heavy, the resin sparkles, and the plants begin to feel like they’re carrying little treasures. Support them, feed them, and above all, enjoy the process. Week 6 Flower is the calm before the storm of ripening.” ⸻ 👉 Thank you for reading, friends. As always, join us on YouTube & Instagram to follow along with the Mango Kush journey, see the video updates, and catch all the behind-the-scenes content. 📌 P.S. Troubleshooting Leaf Spots – CalMag & Mid-Flower This week we noticed some spotting on leaves, a classic mid-flower signal that calcium and magnesium demand is peaking. Why now? • Bigger buds = higher demand. As flowers bulk up, the plant moves Ca/Mg rapidly into developing cells. • Warm temps increase transpiration. High heat makes the plant drink more, sometimes pulling nutrients unevenly. • Solution: We adjusted by reintroducing Aptus All-in-One Liquid for extra NPK support and kept CalMag Boost steady to buffer deficiencies. 🌱 Educational takeaway: In mid-flower, even healthy plants can show light spotting. The key is to respond early with balanced feeding rather than panic or heavy overdoses. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 7 Preview As we move into Week 7 Flower, here’s what to keep an eye on: ✅ Trichome explosion – expect resin glands to multiply, giving that first real frost on sugar leaves. ✅ Aroma awakening – terpenes will become more noticeable; brushing past the canopy will release fruity, kushy hints. ✅ Bud hardening – calyxes swell and flowers get denser; staking/support becomes more urgent. ❌ Don’t expect maturity yet – pistils will still be white, and trichomes mostly clear/cloudy. Harvest signs come later. Educational takeaway: Week 7 is the “icing phase” — the weight is already there, but the sparkle, smell, and stickiness take center stage. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

This auto ghost of is at day 21 and she has been growing like crazy since she broke the surface. She has the potential to be a real work of art if I can keep her happy. I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp per gallon and started them on a little armor si so they can build some strong branches. Still running them on 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation. They are going to stay under the blurple lights for a few more weeks until I can get them in the big room under the quantum boards. I'm hoping they will flower around 4 weeks but my autos seem to enjoy staying in veg so we will see what happens.

Hello:) Man, these plants are really taking their time:( The front 2 plants are ready, I could‘ve cut them even a week ago and the back two still look the same as last week in terms of trichomes. It looks like I need to wait at least a few more days for them.. I also cut the two buds which I thought had some mold, luckily there was nothing… I‘m still thinking about an early harvest though… don‘t want to risk all 4 plants… RH is under control again, my dehumidifier was just broken:)

Girls are packing on weight, the bushy girl WW1 (the only red 1)is definitely behind the rest in terms of flowering, kinda shitty as it’s the only one showing significant stress from the cold nights. Found some powdery mildew on 2/4 girls. Mixed up 10ml Apple cider vinegar with 1 quart of water and gave the infected leaves a spray, over sprayed on the buds hopefully that’s fine. PM seemed to instantly disappear, I will continue to monitor. It’s definitely from the drastic temp changes, 3 at night and 25 during the day. The midget has some flowers now, no nutes, no trimming and it’s a dense bush. Showing no signs of stress or PM. Maybe she will live well into the cold and produce some harvestable bud, we’ll see! Fall is around the corner!

At this point she was drinking more then 4L a day and due to the root mass that was about all i could fit in the res at the time so I had to mock up a external res and convert the system to RDWC K.I.S.S.

Wir sind kurz vor dem Ziel. Ich denke in einer Woche ist es soweit, dann wird die Pflanze aus dem Zelt gehen . Und ein schönes Video für den Contest gemacht . Solange wünsche ich viel Spaß mit den kleinen Video und den Bilder heute. Die Pflanze erfüllt zu 100prozent meinen Vorstellungen, da in Deutschland nur maximal 50g/Monat erlaubt sind . Arbeite ich mit einer 3er Rotation, so das monatlich eine Hinzukommt. Mein Ertrag sollte im Bereich von 30-40g liegen. Und hier scheint es genau darauf hinauslaufen. Der Blumat und die Biotabs performen genau wie erhofft, ruhiger , ordentlicher Grow, fast schon zu langweilig . Komplett Problemlos. Es wäre sicher möglich, mehr rausholen . Mit Erhöhung und Zugabe von sonstigen Dünger. Aber wie oben beschrieben, ist mir dieses Ergebnis am liebsten . Freue mich auf nächste Woche. Wir sehen uns . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are almost at the finish line. I think it will be ready in a week, then the plant will come out of the tent and a nice video for the contest will be made. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the short video and the pictures today. The plant meets my expectations 100%, as in Germany only a maximum of 50g per month is allowed. I am working with a three-stage rotation so that one is added monthly. My yield should be in the range of 30-40g. And here it seems to be exactly that. The Blumat and the Biotabs are performing exactly as hoped, a quiet, orderly grow, almost boring. Completely trouble-free. It would certainly be possible to get more out of it by increasing and adding other fertilizers. But as described above, this result is my favorite. Looking forward to next week. See you.
