Time lapse 23rd June > Aug 21st 2020. Plenty of screwups - over/under watering+ feeding + pollenated the tent with one hermie, two plants throwing nannas (due to UV) out in the last two weeks and the major heatwave all did not help, This was totally my screw up and for that I still give this strain a solid 8/10. The tastes are nice although my first try of Runtz was in Cali and it is certainly another level over there. Unfortunately I did not get a pheno similar to that I smoked in the US but out of the 5 I did get I really enjoyed one of them which is hard hitting! Apologies for the time-lapse as its not always spot on and often other things took over. Stuff never goes the way you plan it in your head. Upon drying the temps were good and they dried okay. The reason why this is a write off is because one of the plants hermied and caused most of the plants to be pollenated. When I harvested I noticed a few nannas poking out so I'm not sure if I let them run too long, too much stress, underwatering, light intensity, the UV bar or heat stress. Anyways I didn't catch it and I have some well developed seeds. I think it's down to the UV bar causing the nannas but the seeds were ripe (tiger stipe brown) so didn't have enough time to grow and ripen. Seeing as I had deficiencies early on in flower - WK4 - I think it happened then. The PP and runtz all have seeds bar one plant (the nice gassy pheno) and the tent was cleaned with bleach, vacuumed and temps increased to over 100f with a heater after disinfecting. Nevertheless I will grow this again! it's all a learning curve! More bud shots to come when cured. Just over an 1oz per plant is pretty poor imo but again you live and learn from your screw up! Got to be on point with my watering next time! That's why I love hydro!

GLF is doing great and her clones are safe. Im so grateful this one survived. She’s a good specimen. OLP 1 is doing great. I dumped the clone of OLP 2, she’s lovely and bushy but she was the runt of this batch all along and she’s even slower than the rest in flipping over to flower. Can’t wait to harvest her but I have better copies OLP 3 doing great under the old blurple with side lighting from the viparspectras. Gratitude’s clones flowering in cups are beautiful. Pothead’s first clone under 12-12 from rooting is doing great. Cute little sprout. 🌱 Increasing watering frequency and maintaining environment and watching and waiting.

Tremendous growth since day 22. Nutes twice with watering this week. Turned all three lights to 100% on day 22. Noticed stigmas on all four plants on day 30 Had three lights in tent from day 22 to 32: (2) Vivosun VS 1000 and (1) VS 2000. Day 32, noticed a tiny bit of light burn with tiny yellow tips on new growth at the top of two of the four plants, so I removed the larger light on day 32 and will continue with (2) VS 1000 run at 75% for a while. Defoliated 2 or 3 large fan leaves from each plant.

Day 56 : Well 8 full weeks si ce I flipped the lights and this lady looks so ripe now . Her pistils are mostly orange now throughout the plant. I did get a little second burst of pistils befor e the rest browned off and it swelled them very nicely . Her smell is a fruity sweet but there is also another undertone there I just cant grab at. Will hopefully come out in cure a bit more to nail it. She is nice and sticky now too and has some nice clumps of buds to that are solid to squeeze . I plan to loupe her soon to check her trichromes for cloudiness. She has t skipped a beat the whole grow and will be getting another run out soon. Hopefully next update will be harvesting pics !!!. Be safe growmies UPDATE DAY 61:She is done and out . Yay. I had planned and expected an 11 week flowering due to the genetic mix but she had other ideas. She has been a pleasure to try out and grow and will certainly be popping more of the Fruity Gorillas in the near future. She smells very "fresh fruit stall" at the moment and I am looking forward to how she cures up. I will update as soon as she is harvested from the dried stems. I am hoping for a 1p day slower dry but temps here are crazy at the moment and I cant find a cooler space to dry than my grow room yet. Some new pics of her taken out and trimmed. Thanks for coming along for the journey. Results and smoke report soon !

Da die Orange Bud an zwei stellen angefangen hat hab ich beschlossen sie etwas früher zu ernten. Hätte bestimmt noch eine Woche stehen können aber von den Trichomen fand ich es schon in Ordnung.

I think I started flushing to early, back to feeding for 2 more weeks then I will flush, I goofed on the flowering time I did not take into consideration the veg time for 4 weeks so my harvest is more like a month out I see some yellowing in the lower leaves these nugs need to put on some weight so back to feeding. I scrapped the SCROG and the Blue Dream. Some new pics and some new time-lapse. A small tribute to one of the greatest Drummers in the world. RIP Neil Peart. they are starting to smell a little stronger. I hope I did not mess these up gave them a diluted feeding today 1/11/20 and soaked the whole pot till run off, PH was 6.1 PPM was 1780 lets see what happens this week. Trichomes are looking milky and a few amber, I want to see next week if it puts on any more weight, Got a good comment on my question regarding early feeding and stunting the growth Thanks GD Community. I will try not to RUSH these ladies and give them a little more time. 🙏

Welcome to my Peyote Gorilla by Seedsman. Doing this as traditional with soil as I can. Ezymes, power roots are in full affect. As they should be with good nutrition uptake. ROYAL MIX will start these Alling girls. They've been through a rough transplsnt. I've 20+ strains at dif stages in a 1m2 tent. Lots of young fems I can hold of. But, with my autos. They need to be in their final pots and not stressed to late. As 1 has, (unknown it could be Highcloudz or alien I'll know more when she's further ahead. Swiss Dream Rose CBD is in pre flower and another is CBDV from Kannabia. Peyote Gorilla has been living life under a plant, she needs her own. So, she'll be put into her own 11L pot until the end of her veg cycle. When been flipped, she'll be put into an 18L pot. Alga Grow will be used, when I uppot her. I'll add the 6 L of Bat Guano soil for pre flower. In the next 10 days or so. I'll introduce some Alga Grow. As it takes 7-+4 days for organic nutrients to release their full potential it takes time. Pure zym will be key in w quicking this process. Fish Force will be as will other stuff. She's gonna build a good root zone. I added 3grams of dolomite lime into the soil. Takes a few weeks to release cal naturally. Looking forward to trying this she's small, but been through a lot. And she has her own space. Now I just gotta dial in her DLI. Thanks to my sponsors Spider-Farmer & Mars-Hydro. Also to seedsman for holding the competition that allowed me have this strain.. This seed has been in cold storage for a year. Let's hope the slowness doesn't stick. She was been covered. So, light, and good nutrition and I'm hoping her to grow big fast and big. Most likely, she'll be topped. I don't know how much time I'll put into her. That all depends on the speed and what this pheno has in growth potential

What a great week it’s been!today is day 65 from seed!! One of the Forbiddin Runtz got it’s last feeding on Friday and will get flushed for 2 weeks and will be ready for dry and cure! The rest will still remain getting same dose of nutes the rest of this week and most likely into the next! This batch felt like it went so quick ! Hope you all enjoy an watch out for next week !

Would definitely recommend for an easy grow. Takes forever due to 100% sativa genetics but well worth the grow. Smells just like cannalopes with a hint of cocoa and a strong dank/sour odor. High is fantastic starting and feeling heaviest right behind the eyes/sinuses. Spreads to extremities in a slight relax feeling. The taste and smell of the smoke is extremely smooth and tastes like the sour + cantaloupes. The buds have a lot of shades of green but are predominantly dark covered in crystals. Smell isn’t extremely strong in bag but once buds begin breaking apart it is almost unbearable and resin makes it hard to break apart by hand do grinder is needed.

Hey farmers, loads of growth this week, still no signs of flower, which is good! My plant is getting quite big, I'm considering lollipopping her, I might take off some lower growth once I see signs of flower, just to make sure I have nice firm buds and not a bush of larfy buds, I know the general rule of thumb with Autoflowers is to not cut anything off, we'll see how it goes. There was a heatwave in europe, as a result this plant got a little hot, and I had to supplement ice and insulate the bucket. She made it through 40 degree weather just fine, however. Later In this weeks timelapse my camera fell down, when picking it up i noticed the lens was covered in trichomes from my last grow, I cleaned it so next weeks timelapse should be less blurry, lol.

🌸 Week 5 Flower – Frost on the Horizon We’ve reached the midway mark of flower, and the Mango Kush sisters are entering their true production phase. What started as white hairs and clusters is now becoming recognizable bud sites, with calyx swelling, pistils stacking, and resin glands beginning to form. Even though the two phenos are still at slightly different paces, both are showing the strength of Mango × Hindu Kush genetics: dense flower set, uniform branching, and a promise of rich aromas to come. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Adjusting for Signs & Demands This week we observed minor leaf spotting, likely an early sign of calcium/magnesium imbalance. With the canopy pushing hard into bloom, demand for structural nutrients rises. To address this, we adjusted the recipe: Updated Feeding Mix (per liter): • 🌿 Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • 🌿 Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.35 ml (slight increase for leaf support) • 🌿 Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml (reintroduced for balanced NPK support) • 🌿 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • 🌿 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml Why this change? • All-In-One Liquid provides a steady base of NPK to complement the super soil and ensure no hidden deficiencies appear as flowers bulk. • CalMag Boost increased slightly to help counter early spotting and reinforce leaf health. • Sugar Royal & Green Sensation remain to push terpene, resin, and bud density. 🌱 Educational Takeaway: At mid-flower, nutrition must shift slightly from “steering” to supporting. The plant is now a high-demand engine, and small deficiencies show quickly. Adding back a balanced NPK base (All-In-One) ensures pistil and calyx production doesn’t stall. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Riding the Heat The room remains lively but challenging: • 🌡️ Temps: peaking at 31–34°C • 💧 RH: 50–60% • 📊 VPD: ~1.8–2.0 kPa While slightly hotter than ideal, the Mango Kush girls are holding strong thanks to airflow and the resilience provided by biostimulants like Sugar Royal and Regulator. An AC unit is on the way, which will stabilize the climate moving forward. 🌱 Educational Takeaway: High VPD increases water demand, plants drink more, transpire faster, and pull nutrients quicker. This can be beneficial if balanced correctly, but also risky: deficiencies show up faster, and stress can slow bud formation. Monitoring and adjusting is the key. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Mid-Canopy Power Boost Our lighting orchestra is now running at higher intensity to fuel flower bulking: • ThinkGrow Model One – deep penetration into the canopy • 2× ThinkGrow ICL-300 bars – mid-canopy support, ensuring no shadowed sites • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – full-spectrum coverage • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – evening out the footprint PPFD is averaging 750–800 µmol/m²/s, which is perfect for mid-flower. The canopy is even, with bud sites developing from top to bottom. 🌱 Educational Takeaway: Mid-canopy lighting like the ICL-300 prevents “popcorn buds” by ensuring lower sites receive enough light intensity to develop properly. The result: fuller plants, less larf, more usable flower. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics in Action – Mango Kush Week 5 • Pheno #1 – Still ahead, stacking pistils into early bulking buds, beginning to sparkle under macro view. • Pheno #2 – Catching up fast, with strong pistil growth and early calyx development. Though she started later, her structure is filling in beautifully. Both phenos are showing that classic Mango Kush balance: fruit-forward aromas beginning to rise when you brush the flowers, with the Kush backbone promising earthy depth in the final cure. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ Expect this week and next: • Rapid calyx swelling → buds begin “rounding out” • Trichome initiation across sugar leaves • First noticeable sticky texture • Stronger aroma when handling ❌ Not yet: • Full frost coverage (peaks Weeks 6–7) • True terpene explosion (Weeks 7–8) • Final density (Weeks 7–9) 🌱 Educational Takeaway: Week 5 is often where growers get impatient. Resist the urge to overfeed or over-adjust. Buds are setting their foundation now, the bulk and frost come with time. ⸻ 🔄 Recap – The Journey So Far • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established, Aptus Start Booster support • Weeks 3–4 Veg: Rapid branching, transplant into super soil + Aptus Mycor-Mix & Buffer • Week 5 (Flip): 12/12, stretch begins • Flower Weeks 1–2: Power Buds introduced, lighting expanded • Flower Week 3: Flower set established, pistils everywhere • Flower Week 4: Bulking begins, feeding simplified • 🌸 Flower Week 5 (Now): Buds swelling, trichomes emerging, All-In-One Liquid reintroduced, environment monitored closely ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To everyone following along, thank you. Each week is a balance of science, art, and patience, and it means a lot to share this journey together. The Mango Kush sisters are teaching us once again: growth happens in stages, and trust in the process brings the best results. ⸻ 💭 Grower’s Note: “This week felt like the garden finally started to sparkle. The first trichomes are here, pistils are building like fireworks, and even with the heat waves, the girls stand tall. Pheno #1 is racing, Pheno #2 is steady — and together, they remind me that nature never grows in straight lines, only in rhythms.” 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
