Day 44: Starting to see some preflower signs and man guys this girl is stunning.. Everything is growing perfect 👌 😌. Leaves and color are beautiful and she takes feedings like a beast. I'm really impressed so far 👏. It is almost 19 inches tall now and I'm thinking shes got another foot to go lol. Will keep everyone posted and thanks to everyone that checks out and likes my grows please comment with your input as I always like constructive criticism.

I am so proud of her, with the high humidity and extra rainfall she pushed through. I noticed her swell continued in the last week so it’s safe to say she is in good shape.

Hello Diary. It has completed its sixth week of flowering, a total of 9 weeks since Purple Punch sprouted. As you can see in the photos, the plants look beautiful, the flowers are large and hard, full of trichomes. I believe the yield will be better than I had hoped. The smell is very intense. I would also say that Purple Punch is quite resistant, along with them, as you know on "Farm", there is also one plant Watermelon Auto that has suffered a lot due to over-feeding, which cannot be said for Purple Punch. The treatment they receive is the same. Watering is every three days, I regulate or lower the p.H of water to values ​​between 6.1 and 6.5. And I do that with every preparation of water for irrigation. I stopped adding any additives the previous week so they get clean water. Let’s take a look at the review of the week. 26/03/2021 - Day 59. Watering. p.H. water I regulated to 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 32% humidity. 29/03/2021 - Day 62. Watering. p.H - 6.3 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 36% humidity. 30/03/2021 - Day 63. Photography. This time I didn't photograph them on a black background, I didn't want to stress them too much, I'll take detailed photos for the end anyway. That’s it for this week, without much excitement, I’m patiently waiting for the harvest. See you soon.

Yellowing of WW#2 is worrying me, looks to be a nutrient issue maybe? I raised the light above WW#2 by 4 inches in case its light burn as well. Other than that and the nute burn on The other plants things seem well. End of week update: things are looking great, I think whatever happened to WW2 is reducing its ability to form buds? Not sure. It’s looking okay, hoping they’re going to fill out well! Definitely need to grow the widow XXL again, it’s a shame I had another plant fall on WW2 and damage it, likely contributes to the yellowing and such. WW1 still has no amber trichomes, waiting for this entire week to end before I even think about harvesting. I am eager to harvest so I can get more light to lower buds on the other plants. I had to tie up 1/3 NL2 main colas. It was so heavy it was beginning to split the bottom stalk, there was no damage really just maybe 1/20th of the stalk was peeling from the weight. I tied him up to the light and everything seems well. I figured I wouldn’t run into that problem, but don’t underestimate how much weight buds can pack on!

Empezamos la segunda semana. Ayer día 5 de Febrero se realizo un trasplante de las 9 plantas con mejor aspecto a tiestos de 6-7 L que tenia por casa que he decidido aprovechar. Son las 9 que quedan en el armario y con las que trabajare, de las 13 con las que empecé. En cuanto a la iluminación la semana pasada la acabamos con 50W, para esta semana en adelante y durante todo el crecimiento la dejaremos en 100W. Ciclos de 18 horas de luz y 6 horas apagado. Pocos riegos de momento solo con Rhizotonic ñ, 0,5 ml por litro. Empezaremos a añadir Plagron Alga Grow durante esta semana y pulverizaremos con Plagron Vita Race. Las 4 plantas restantes han ido a exterior veremos como responden. Disfruten y buenos humos. Gracias por leer. Tupskywalker

I start flunshing now after the last dose of organic additives wich boost sugar and protein storages in the buds to create new tissues and enhance flavour an odour.

Lost medipak#2. Just suddenly kicked the bucket. Oh well. Such is life! It might have been a fungus issue...The other 2 medipak are cruising. The 4 indigo childs are looking really nice. Very excited to see what they look like in 3 weeks

21.09.21.банана празднует 3х недельный юбилей, немного растянул сегодня. Опрыскиваю ежедневно динамексом и через полив корневой стим рутфармс. В принципе все по плану. Всё хорошо, а вам как кажется? 24.09.21. Полет в нормальном режиме, банана приземистая, плотная и яркая. Листья начали пахнуть, запах необычный. Гну, прыскаю, поливаю по графику. Ещё пару недель веги и на цвет😁до встречи, друзья 25.09.21 плановая тренировка LST прошла успешно, банану все нравиться, как и другим обитателям. Вчера давал слегка пониженным ррм компота, водой не поливаю вообще. PS. ДОРОГИЕ ДРУЗЬЯ, было бы вам интересно и полезно видео процесса моего LST? Пишите в комментариях! Всем, Растафарай!

🌸 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.

First day of this week I did some big lollipopping and defoliation and also some watering with tap water only . They’re both looking good for me so far and the smell is like normal classic weed on the ssh and a light citrus smell on the orange bud .i won’t do much more this week but watering . Next watering on day 5.

START OF WEEK 6 Day 35 —I AM NOT SPONSORED BY ANY OF THE PRODUCTS USED IN THIS DIARY— ⭐️Nutrients Used This Week⭐️ Front Row AG Part A 4.2g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.8g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme. 4g per gallon Front Row AG SI .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Triologic 1ml per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon The room is running smooth this week. Pretty much set it and forget it. Tuck some leaves back under the net every night and refill the water reservoir every couple of days is all my duties right now. This Super Lemon Haze is incredible. Every single node on every plant was topped at the start of the week. It must have been 100 nodes I topped. 2 days later the net went down. I’m hoping to get one amazing pheno, so clones were taken from all plants in a hope for the lemon holy grail. HOLY TRINITY = SHARP LEMON SMELL/ROCK HARD CRYSTALLY BUDS/ SUPER LEMON TASTE These nutrients are superb! No burning of the leaves and they completely dissolve in water. I actually spoke to Front Row over the phone about mixing instructions. Polite and well knowledgeable group of guys to say the least. Got my EC issues figured out and all is well. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!
