9/30: All that remain are the 4 x FFT #4 clones. They are foxtailing a little, but getting so frosty. They've senesced pretty well on their own, but I flushed them with 8 gallons each today anyway...warm tap water with LiquidSoil. I'll harvest them on Sunday I think. 10/3: I gave them a little water early in the day to keep them turgid, and late at night I did a wet trim on all 4 of them and put them in the dark until late tomorrow night. Then, I'll harvest and wash them and this crop will be a done deal.👍 10/5: Early a.m., I cut them down, washed them, and hung them to drip dry. That's a wrap! I'll do harvest reports in another week or so, but early impressions of FFT's 2,4, and 10 are quite good. 👍

BIG BIG apologies to Heather from fast buds & to Growdiaries & anyone who follows. The past few months have been a massive struggle, not just with temperatures & growing weed but on a personal level. My wife has been very poorly & with covid and everything going on, it's put a massive strain on us all!! I've tries to maintain an active presence on Instagram but that's about all I've physically had time for. I've put this update together today, so far into the grow now it almost seems pointless. I lost my original Mimosa due to high temps & high RH. Moving into the attic at that time of year was a mistake. It has cost me a small fortune to keep things alive. I've had to purchase an air con unit, more fans & just more of everything to be honest. My purple punch is almost ready to harvest, any time within the next couple of days, followed shortly by Bruce Banner & Kosher cake. I wont be winning any awards for this Diary & I feel bad as I was supposed to be show casing what 420 Fast buds has to offer & I've failed...miserably. I hope you can make sense of all the pictures I've included....just a mass photo frenzy over the past few weeks. Thanks to everyone & all your comments. Wishing you all the best. One Love ❤️

Another week on the Gorilla, she is forming bud, but real irregular and she seems to not fill out like she is supposed to. The plant is way smaller than her roommates too, in this case thankfully cause this will compensate a little for the loss of total weight she will cause. I had made a video but decided not to put it up, with too much strong language and questions of the integrity of the third-party seed bank in question. Remember that Expert seeds probably cant help this much, except not dealing with third parties messing up their good name. Well enough words for an so far underperforming plant. We did as much magic as we could, I think Im lucky if she yields 30 grams, lowering my total and average gram per watt score so thanks...

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

this week was a lil challenging, had to get out of LST due to the fact that I broke a branch and that just tripped me off and I took off all my ties , apart from that i started giving her bloom products because I noticed a few hairs. I started applying tiresias mist to one of my branches so I can get pollen sacks to produce my own fem seeds, as I plan on crossing my fortune cookies autoflower with my ak48 autoflower and creating a new strain called "DRAKO" AUTOFLOWER well till next update . O.G. Bang Bang !! out.....

Mango Kush – Week 4 Flower (Week 8 from Seed) The bulking begins: pistils, stacking, and balanced nutrition Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors (The ThinkRoulette ecosystem) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Bulking Mode Activated Week 4 is an important checkpoint in any bloom cycle. The Mango Kush sisters are no longer just “in flower”, they are now building flowers. Pistils are everywhere, thick and vibrant, forming the foundation for what will become dense, resin-packed buds. Both phenos are looking strong: • Pheno #1 – More advanced, pistil clusters stacking into early budlets, filling her frame with confidence. • Pheno #2 – A little behind, but catching up fast. She may have taken longer to flip (since she germinated later), but she’s now pushing out strong, healthy white hairs that signal the start of her bulking stage. This week’s studio and improvised studio photos capture this perfectly—the transition from “flower set” to flower building. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Simplifying for Strength This week, we made an important nutritional adjustment: • Removed: Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Aptus Top Booster • Kept: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why this change? At this stage, the super soil’s NPK balance (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) is already strong enough to sustain healthy growth and flower formation. Adding the All-in-One Liquid or Top Booster would risk redundancy, too much nutrient overlap can actually slow the plant down, cause salt build-up, or push her into unnecessary stress. By keeping only the boosters and biostimulants, we are: • Supporting flower stacking and density (Power Buds). • Enhancing terpene and resin production (Sugar Royal). • Adding a multi-function bloom enhancer (Green Sensation, famous for its late-flower results). • Maintaining structure, transport, and stress resistance (Regulator). • Keeping calcium and magnesium in check (CalMag Boost). 🌱 Educational takeaway: Week 4 is about controlled nutrition, not force-feeding. Too much input can overwhelm plants; the art is in balancing what the soil already provides with just enough supplements to guide the plant’s energy toward flowers. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Stability Matters The Mango Kush girls continue to thrive under the TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS ecosystem, giving live readings of: • Soil moisture (watering when ~19–20%) • EC levels (tracking buildup) • Temperature & RH (still peaking high at times, but stable airflow keeps the canopy safe) The ThinkRoulette ecosystem (TrolMaster + lighting synergy) has been running flawlessly, creating a stable and responsive environment. This consistency is what allows the girls to focus their energy on bulking rather than on fighting stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Canopy in Harmony The four-light setup continues to shine as a perfectly balanced orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Deep canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300s – Mid-canopy energy, no sites left behind. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Spectrum balance. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Evening out the footprint. Result: The canopy is even, pistils are popping from top to bottom, and no part of the plant is left in the dark. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Check-In – Mango Kush in Mid-Flower Mango Kush (Mango × Hindu Kush) is famous for her fruity-sweet aroma with earthy Kush undertones. Week 4 is where the genetic potential starts to show: • Bud structure is beginning to define itself—rounded calyx clusters forming the early shape. • Aroma is still light, but brushing against the plants gives faint hints of fruit and spice. • Phenotypic difference: Pheno #1 is flowering earlier and faster, while Pheno #2 lags a week behind. This may result in staggered harvest windows, giving two slightly different expressions of the same strain. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ What to Expect in Week 4–5: • Noticeable bud bulking. • Rapid calyx development, pistil clusters getting denser. • First trichomes appearing under macro view. • Water demand increasing steadily. • Early terpene hints becoming stronger week by week. ❌ What Not to Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (that comes around Week 5–6). • Major resin frosting (Week 5 onward). • Final bud density or color changes (those happen in later bloom). Educational takeaway: Patience is key. Week 4 is about building structure. The “icing” (frost, density, aroma explosion) comes later. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – The Journey • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretched tall, Pheno #2 filled out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12 → stretch begins. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Bloom boosters introduced, lights upgraded. • Week 7 (Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, pistils everywhere, irrigation system added. • Week 8 (Now, Flower Week 4): Bulking stage, pistils thick and abundant, nutrition simplified, environment stable. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the community—thank you for following along, for sharing knowledge, and for keeping the love of cultivation alive. These reports are more than just grow logs, they are learning tools, and together we’re documenting the journey of two Mango Kush sisters from seed to flower. And to the gear, the TrolMaster, the ThinkRoulette ecosystem, and the full lighting orchestra, you make this possible. Technology doesn’t grow the plant, but it empowers the grower to let the plant reach her full potential. ⸻ 📸 This week’s highlight: Studio and improvised studio shots capturing the moment where flower set becomes flower build. ✨ In short: Week 4 Flower is the week of foundations. The pistils are thick, the flowers are forming, and the stage is set for resin and density in the weeks to come. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2 A quick note on the sisters’ timelines: • Pheno #1 remains ahead—already deep in flower, stacking pistils fast and showing more advanced bud formation. • Pheno #2, while it started later, is catching up beautifully. Her pistils are now bursting and forming thick clusters, but she still sits a bit behind her sister. This difference is natural: Pheno #2 germinated later and is effectively running on a slightly younger internal clock. The 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 hours off) means she is easing into flower at her own rhythm. 👉 What this means: Both plants are thriving, but don’t expect them to bulk or finish at the same exact time. This staggered development could actually be a gift—two harvest windows, two terpene expressions, one journey. Educational takeaway: Even seeds from the same strain can flower on different schedules. Rather than forcing uniformity, let each phenotype tell its story. Patience reveals the full genetic spectrum. 🌿 Grower’s Note “This week felt like the real beginning of bloom. The room is alive—white hairs, bulking pistils, and that early whisper of aroma that promises so much more to come. Pheno #1 leads the charge, Pheno #2 follows on her own time, and together they remind me that growing is not about control, but about partnership. The plants teach us patience, and in return, we give them care.”

Dam the smell coming off the tropicanna cookies is bomb a very tangerine 🍊 smell.. The banana runtz is more fruit yet skunk overtone ... Both are growing great besides one issue I moved my light down 4 inches over the two and got some slight burning on a few leaves so moved up again.. They both have been given minimal nutes and a microbial mass additive since before flowering .. The next three weeks will be awsome as the buds spread and build size ..

So Leute nach dem toppen wuchsen 3/4 normal weiter eine wirkt leicht geschockt. Wächst aber langsam weiter. Die Paya Cookies ist immer noch leicht blass. Denke das die eine gefräßige ist , versuche sie mit einer sonder Behandlung zu boosten mal schauen wie sie reagiert

Greetings, fellow green enthusiasts! Week 3 unfolds like a crescendo in the cultivation symphony, and my Blackberry Auto is not merely growing – she's flourishing into a botanical masterpiece. Join me in this chapter of lush greenery, where every leaf tells a story of meticulous care and bountiful growth. A monumental shift occurred this week as I sensed the roots had embraced their space, and with that confidence, the AutoPot Aquavalve was turned on. It's a momentous occasion; from now on, my Blackberry Auto dictates her own hydration destiny. The Aquavalve ensures a precise, gravity-fed watering system, allowing the plant to drink at her leisure. It's a botanical utopia where hydration meets autonomy. As a gesture of extra love, I treated my thriving Blackberry Auto to a Nutrispray shower. While not a necessity, it's my way of pampering her with a nutrient-rich mist – a spa day for the botanical queen. Every droplet whispers, "You're cherished, and your journey is celebrated." The dance of low-stress training persists, a ballet where leaves are gently coaxed into the perfect formation. Blackberry Auto, the prima donna of this green theater, responds with unparalleled elegance. Each bend not only shapes her structure but also encourages a bushier, more productive plant. It's a dialogue of symbiosis, where I guide her growth, and she graciously accepts the choreography. Blackberry Auto's aesthetic prowess is on full display – her color is a vibrant tapestry, and her structure an architectural marvel. It's not merely a prediction; it's a prophecy of a beautiful, robust plant reaching towards the zenith of its potential. Each leaf is a stroke of nature's brush, creating a masterpiece before our very eyes. As I share this journey, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the creators of the genetics – thank you, Fast Buds, for gifting us Blackberry Auto. To my sponsors who make this journey possible, your support is the fertilizer for this green endeavor. A tip of the hat to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to document and share the magic. And to the community, your camaraderie adds depth to this horticultural narrative. Together, we cultivate not just plants but a shared passion for the botanical world. Stay tuned, green comrades, for the forthcoming chapters of Blackberry Auto's odyssey. The journey continues, and each leaf unfurls a new verse in the poetic saga of cultivation. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

WEEK 20 Soooo, we’re pretty much at the end now. I harvested the plants on the last day of this week, and I was thrilled. During the final week, I mostly watered with plain water, except for a bit of Green Sensation that I added. I let my CO₂ level drop to 600 ppm and also dialed back the light a bit—down to around 700 to 800 PPFD. Unfortunately, it was still quite warm here this week, so I didn’t manage to lower the temperature any further. It’s definitely worth doing, especially in the last few weeks. But in my opinion, turning off the climate unit isn’t really worth it, so I kept running things pretty hot. The plants didn’t seem to mind the temperature much in my case. I had consistently high temperatures throughout the flowering phase, but I’ve been supplementing CO₂ from a gas bottle, which significantly increases their tolerance to heat. Overall, the buds really got another nice boost over these last few days. I think you could let them go even longer if that suits your taste. But I’m excited to harvest now. 🙂🙂🙂
