They seem to be settling in well and starting to kick into growth mode. All but 1 of 17 had roots in the water when I brought them over from the Cloner. The 1 holdout is finally dropping roots now and they’re almost in the water. I’ve been using a syringe to wet the bottom of the net pot to encourage downward growth and to keep the emerging tips moist. A bit of root discolouration, but I’m reasonably certain this is just runoff from the Root Riot starter cubes I wrapped around the root crowns. I’ll let them gain a bit more height then too them. I’m thinking I’ll do a clean 4 cola per plant configuration.

Can't wait for each of them to finish out. Giving them hopefully their full amount of water, less with the auto as it was stunted by the 12/12.

WEEK 4: The plants are now in the third week of the growth phase. I topped all three plants on the main stem and cut off the 4 largest top leaves so that the side shoots have more light available. Plant #1 is clearly the smallest and is not as developed as the other two. Since I only want to take two plants into the flowering phase, I tend to sort them out. Plant #2 looks the most vital and has already developed a noticeable smell. Plant #3 still has a strange leaf shape, although I have the impression that this has improved slightly The plants in 6L pots and added 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer). I let the soil develop for 14 days beforehand. Clear mycelia have formed and the soil has a very pleasant forest floor smell. - Light Power: 40% - Soil: BioBizz Light Mix + 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer) - Additives: Dynomyco mycorrhiza granules

🌸 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 is my second growth in a suitcase, I got 30 grams of dry flowers from the first growth, but this growth together with FastBuds is obviously much better than the first one :) although the girl's leaves burn from the light, which is only 10-15 cm from the flowers, but the girl copes with it perfectly :) good luck to everyone.

1-19 Added 2 ml water to the top where planted, sprayed dome. End of the night see a buldge. 1-20 In the am, still no head, 2ml water, keep the top moist. but starting to show more. by afternoon, w have Runtz1. ( As soon as breaks ground, remove RH Dome.) Shortly after we have Runtzs 2. She seems to have pulled a leaf off getting her head out. My other told me to scrap her, but I figured she will be fine. So for the tie break, I called apon @valiotoro . Told him he would be the tie breaker. SHES A KEEPER! 💪 I do not like to give up on any of my girls! 💪 Very excited to get this ball Finally Rolling! Preparing the Rocket ship, Lift Off Soon! Someone said, are you sure? There is some big dawgs in it. Well they better eat their Wheaties EVERY DAY, Fatty is coming! ( Guy Approves this Message 😻) 1-21 250 ml ph 6.0 water. Shes going. Humidifer arrives tomorrow. RH is 30% and temp hovering 70F. Every 2-3 hours I spray the tent walls to help with the RH. Holds between 55-65%. 1-23 Moved to big tent temps everything's normal now. 1-24 Loves her forever home, not pot. Getting 250-260 ppfd. The green mykos is showing on the dirt. All going smooth 💪 Well thats it for week 1. Moves will pick up soon. Again ty Zamnesia, Plagron and The Eternity Grow Cup

Day 29. I adjust the LST to form the canopy. pH at 5.8 Day 30. It's not necessary to adjust anything, just a little the main stem. pH at 5.7. Growing well :D Day 32. I change the water in the tank, I go from the vegetative table to the flowering stage, keeping the same Ec pH to 5.9. I make some small adjustments to the LST and remove a few fan leaves. Day 35. Growth is pretty good. The pH drops about 0.5 by day, the plant drinks about 1 liter a day, (I think this is due to the decrease in pH). First defoliation. In general, the week has been good. Now I have to deal with the daily pH drops I think caused by the water intake of the plant. Possibly one more week of stretching remains, Auto Mandarina is 70% sativa 30% indica, so an Indica dominance would be better for my set up.

Moin moin aus dem hohen Norden Deutschlands........ Den Ladys geht es ganz gut denke ich bin auf jeden Fall zufriedener als bei Meinen anderen grows. Am Montag den 23. 01.23 habe ich die ersten 3 Ladys aus ihren 1Liter Töpfen befreit und sie in ihr endgültiges Zuhause umgetopft (15L Stoff Töpfe) die Erde (Bio bizz) wurde mit 75 gramm startrex gut vermengt und ein pflanz Loch mit 5 gramm mycotrex vorbereitet, pflanze aus dem alten Topf raus in neues Zuhause rein und das ganze dann mit einer Lösung aus 1g/L bactrex und 5m/L orgatrex angegossen (jede Lady bekam 500ml). Am Mittwoch den 25.01.23 habe ich das ganze auch mit der 7 Tage jüngeren Pflanze gemacht damit ich mit den Tabletten von Bio tabs relativ gleich auf bin was den Verbrauch betrifft da ich jetzt 4 Wochen warte und Dann umstelle auf 12/12. Plan von mir ist in der nächsten Woche das erste topping zu vollziehen Dann 14 Tage Erholung noch mal toppen dadurch Hat sie ca 1 1/2 wochen Zeit sich zu erholen und dann geht es in die blüte. bis dahin (also die nächsten 4 Wochen) gibt es jetzt erstmal nur Wasser..... Dann wieder mal eine Lösung aus 5ml/L orgatrex und 1g/L bactrex und ab der 4. Blüte Woche fängt erst das wirkliche Arbeiten an mit dem Dünger (Tee brauen) boha freue ich mich darauf 😁👍 das war es auch für diese Woche...... Edit: die oben gezeigten Angaben zu den Dünger Mitteln Mycotrex= gramm angabe Bactrex= gramm angabe Startrex= gramm angabe Bio tabs = Stückzahl pro topf Orgatrrex= ml/L

🌱 Seguimiento – Última semana de crecimiento (cultivo desde semilla) Estamos en un cultivo con 10 plantas desde semilla: 4 plantas de Humboldt Seeds 6 plantas Permanent Marker – Philosopher Seeds Durante esta última semana de crecimiento hemos aumentado la dosis de fertilizantes siguiendo la tabla de B’cuzz Coco de Atami. Seguimos regando con un pH estable entre 5.9 y 6.0. 💧 Aditivos añadidos al riego Hemos incorporado también: Atazyme, para ayudar a la descomposición de raíces muertas y mejorar la absorción. Coco Booster Uni, para estimular el sistema radicular y el vigor general. Todo de nuestra marca de confianza: Atami. 💡 Ajustes en el cultivo Ajustamos la distancia del LED para optimizar la intensidad lumínica. Comenzamos a realizar un ligero croping en las plantas más altas para igualar el dosel antes de floración. 🌿 Estado de las plantas Las 4 plantas de Humboldt están respondiendo muy bien por ahora. Las Permanent Marker se muestran algo más delicadas. Puede deberse a: Posible bloqueo de calcio/magnesio Diferente sensibilidad al pH O simplemente fenotipos más exigentes Aunque sigamos una tabla, está claro que no todas las plantas comen igual. Incluso la cantidad de luz que recibe cada una puede hacer que unas se estresen y otras no. Reflexión Esto es lo bonito de cultivar desde semilla: cada genética y cada fenotipo siguen su propio patrón de crecimiento. Aquí empieza realmente la observación y la selección. 📸 Próxima actualización: últimos días de crecimiento y preparación para el cambio a floración.
