So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

Last week for the 8 , on Feb 1st will be flipping them into bloom 12/12. I think I did well flatten em out like a table. If one tall than the other I’ll try my best to tuck em & if too many buds site to the side or nodes then Ima let em be…. Prolly have to get a 2 nd net trellis…

End of week 7. Great week. Big plants. Smell is so strong, diesel and incredibly powerful turpentine. Really fast Strain to grown. Flushing started, should be a big harvest when done. Thanks everyone, I show my grows on YouTube also, Crystal Garden

Went away for a week and missed ideal harvest. Unfortunately, the harvest seems to have been fried to a crisp. Last time I share the responsibility. :(

🌸 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.

As you can see, these girls are looking good they are growing and you may see more than you know of. I got one from a buddy who said he did not know what he was doing after about a month and a half so I said give her here I’ll take her.

Hi Growmies, I continuously scrog and defoliate her until the screen is filled (what shouldn’t take too long anymore). She is taking very well too the scrogging not getting stunned from all the bending and massaging. I think that’ll be her last week of veg. So as of next week I will flip her and initiate the preflower nutes, including Rezin and the boost accelerator from canna. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesia‘s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

Los Riegos con abono son alternados, ay semanas que riego 4 días y otras de 3 días, Los riegos con bnzym y prosilicate los realizo a parte del resto de abonos, en esos días que alterno. The irrigations with fertilizer are alternating, ay weeks that I irrigate 4 days and others of 3 days, the irrigations with bnzym and prosilicate I realize them to part of the rest of installments, in those days that alternate.

Hung them to dry today, very happy to say I have found 3 very very good keeper phenos which doesn’t surprise me as I have grown many seeds of this before. The pictures and video tell more than words can say. I have named my favourite pheno ‘john wayne’ as I have a convoy swagger about my walk every time I look at her😂 I lost this pheno a few months ago and so relieved to have her back plus two other great phenos. Barneys absolutely provides some real fire genetics and I have been a fan since blue cheese and pineapple chunk were released many years ago.

Que pasa familia, hemos vuelto para actualizar las skunk que ya tenemos cosechadas. Que gran genética, y muy típica entre fumadores de hierba, un crecimiento más indico pero floración lenta bastante lenta, en teoría se supone que es Sativa, 17% thc en la tas con un tamaño medio pequeño pero flores mi compactas y dulces, un cultivo ni fácil ni difícil, sin más, bastante neutral para los cambios climáticos algo sensible con el aspecto alimentación. La recomendaría en verdad, sobre todo para aquellos amantes del dulce. Nos vemos en próximos proyectos fumetillas

7th week is here. They are good looking girls! Some weeks left to be finished ! Water 100 ml 2x a day per plant. Fertilization on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with the same amount of water. Light schedule 20/4 with 600 W and ventilation goes on when the lamp works. Day 52: All good, some yellow leaves can be seen at the bottom of the biggest plant it matures quicker than the others I think it started using the energy out of the lower leaves to produce more buds. I will remove it later. Day 55: I couldn't come yesterday so my friend did water them. I am here now in the morning ing. Flowers developing nicely among the stamps. The bigges one start getting yellow it matures quicker than the other ones. Day 56: I removed unwanted yellow and dead leaves and also tied the plant from different angles to get more light. They look good now, they are spread. Plants are really nice and the flowers keep coming! Now it is gonna be better air flowing and the light also reach deeper parts at the bottom and all over the plants!

Chopped on day 77; and dried for 7 days. Plant 1: 34.8 grams dry Plant 2: 40.8 grams dry Total dry weight: 75.6 grams (2.70 Ounces) The plant is super frosty and smells very sweet. It's now in a grove bag and curing. Can't wait to do a smoke report in about a month. Hope you enjoy two song variations I made with a slideshow of the grow
