Hi guys Welcome 🙂 This is going to be the last upgrade for this sisters, all MATURE KUSH 🌿 Strain breeding by Microgenetica Seed bank 🏆 Very very fast genetics...fast and resinous 🔥 We are exactly at just day 56° of flowering and the buds are already mature almost at the best Maybe i will leave their another three/four days and then i say them bye 🤔 ✂️ Honestly, at least with what i have see here on GD, mostly of the growers can easily harwest at day 45/49.. Im my opinion its much better be patience and leave the flowers create at the best all the compounds 👌 And definetly a week can change a lot ! But it's right everybody doing whats they want 🤙 Anyway In the end the plants have create a great dense buds ! Not really super smelling like i believed in the beginning.. But maybe appears after a good dry and cure 🤞 So, about that..after i have will cut all four plants, i dry the flowers without cut them off and leaving all the little leafs ! This process approximatly can during about seven to ten days.. Then i will cut off any branches from the plant and im foing to manicuring the flowers on the branches.. After that i will put all the branches with the flowers on, in a brown bag...for a few days ! Then, when i feel that the buds are almost "dry" , but before the "crack" on the branches, im going to cut them off  and i put in a glass jar.. For 24h im going to not open it... After this first day closed, im going to open and closed about three fourth times a day..it depends.. This process usually going for three weeks, and any week im going to decrease the open/closed.. And that's it ! Now, i think the final rewiew will be in a month and few weeks.. Close up and smoke/vape test 😉 And then i will can tell you if its only a fast and oleous strain, or also tasty too.. Thanks for the support all this past weeks 🙏 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Week 6 for Moby Dick, She was moved outdoors at the start of the week, shes been adjusting well besides the fact shes been having issues with aphids 😥 But shes been getting sprayed water every sun rise to keep them under control as well as me going in there & killing them when i can spot them every morning & evenings. Trying to get my hands on some pyrol products to clean her up nicely as well as clean up the outdoor space. But wow look at her size... really looking forward to her coming out with some flowers😍

The preflower stretch has been incomparable to any Soil grow I've seen! These sativas already caught up and don't show any signs of slowing down.

4/29🐼👍 I gave her about 2 L of water yesterday with a little bit of bud factor X I think about 2 mL into that and I don’t think it needed it but I’m trying it with some other plants and I had good results but that also could have been a result of the way I mixed up my regular general hydroponics nutrients which are my favorite. 5/5 🐼👍🔥💫

I guess due to the colder weather, she really starts to express her color and it's so amazing! I can't believe how beautiful this outdoor automatic is and how fast the colors are changing. As you can see from the photo, the buds are getting a bit heavy, so I tied them back in place. You might also see that one of the side branches, which broke during the storm, starts to let their leaves hanging. I moistened the point where the stem broke and see how she will do tomorrow. If it get's more dry, than I'm hanging it in the bathroom (which doesn't get used atm if you're wondering) Anyways I'll trim off the leaves with no trichomes on it and give her the very last week before harvesting on Monday.

Mango Kush – Week 1 Flower (Week 5 from Seed) Stretch, sibling rivalry, and fine-tuning the environment Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush – Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Light Systems: • ThinkGrow Model One LED (main canopy) • ThinkGrow ICL300 (inner canopy lighting) • Black Series 600W LED (shared space) Ecosystem: TrolMaster-controlled, partially hand-watered ⸻ 🌸 First Week Flower – Stretch Mode Engaged We’ve flipped the Mango Kush girls into flower, and while there are still no visible pre-flowers yet, the stretch has begun. • Pheno #1: Already tall and well-structured, pushing into her 8th–9th node with strong lateral branching. • Pheno #2: Started later, but is rapidly catching up—shorter internodes, lush leaves, and a determination to match her sister in size before flowers set. 📸 Both got a full studio photo session this week—looking flawless and healthy from every angle. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C (a bit high, AC incoming) • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C • Watering: Daily (when soil dries to ~25% moisture) ⸻ ⚠️ High Temperature Talk – Risks & Rewards Risks: • Higher temps speed up transpiration, meaning the plants take in water and nutrients faster, which can cause imbalances if not monitored. • Combined with high VPD, temps can push plants close to stress thresholds. Benefits (if managed well): • Boosted metabolism → faster stretch and branch growth before bud set. • With CO₂ at ~632 ppm, plants can tolerate slightly warmer temps without losing photosynthetic efficiency. 💡 Plan: An AC unit is on the way to lock temps into the sweet flower range of 26–28°C. ⸻ 💧 Why Daily Watering Works Here In these conditions, the Mango Kush girls are drinking daily. Letting the medium dry to about 25% before rewatering helps: 1. Prevent overwatering – Roots get oxygen between feedings. 2. Keep nutrients stable – Avoiding EC spikes/drops. 3. Match plant demand – Giving them exactly what they’re ready to drink. Nutrients remain tat Aptus Holland recipe, now for flower, just with slightly increased volume to match their thirst. ⸻ 🌱 Sibling Rivalry – Pheno #2’s Big Push Pheno #2 may have started late, but she’s been stacking nodes and leaves like she’s got something to prove. At this rate, she might hit flower at nearly the same size as her big sister. This will be a fun side-by-side to watch—same genetics, different timelines. ⸻ 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ThinkGrow ICL300 We’ve installed the ICL300, a bar-style LED designed to sit inside the canopy. Why it matters for Mango Kush: • Better Lower Buds – More intensity to shaded sites → denser flowers. • Even Growth – Less height difference between top and bottom buds. • Efficient Canopy Use – Every branch gets a fair shot at the light. In multi-strain grows, inner canopy lights help prevent the smaller plants from being overshadowed, literally. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next • AC arrives → temps stabilize → optimal VPD range. • Expect pre-flower pistils to appear in the next 7–10 days. • Watch Pheno #2’s progress—will she match #1 before the stretch is over? • Continue using ICL300 to fill out the lower canopy for more even bud development. ⸻ 📣 Thank you for following the Mango Kush journey!

Tues pm: raised light 4” and turned up to 80%. PPFD 750 center to 350 on the edges. Used to trash bag from mulch cover. Wed: yesterday trimming up BB#1 I took 6 cuttings. Tnite I put them in CloneX; then into Root Riot cubes. Under a 15W 24hrs light cycle. Maybe I’ll have roots on a few in 10 days. Fri: Refill Earthbox 2.5G, raised light to 22in from canopy and 100% power.

. The end of a nice run😊 The three big sisters dried for 8 days as colas and then 2 days as buds on a drying net. They ended up at 139g, 127g and 145g dry respectively; added to the 83g and 64g from the little sisters, that makes a total harvest of 558g. My best one so far! Adding the lights was clearly the decisive factor. I'm finally satisfied with my setup. Aside from the small ball of finger hash, I put the trim in the freezer; as soon as my Banana finishes its run, I’ll mix it with the WW for a nice bubble hash. EDIT : I took 85 g from my White Widow and 25 g from my Banana Purple Punch, frozen along with about fifty grams of leaves. The result for this third bubble hash run: 12.85 g, i.e. 8% of the material used. The first time I reached 3.0%, the second time 7.1% ; with this 8.0% I’m making progress, but I haven’t reached the 10% goal yet... I’ll keep working on it 😉 Thanks to all of you for following this diary ! 👋

New week, new fun. Runtz is simply a brilliant genetic. I wish many other strains, like the Zamnesia Blueberry Auto, would behave the same way as Runtz does as an automatic. The smell drives you crazy. Runtz has a wilder scent, but unlike its companions, it is now beginning to develop a new fruity-sweet aroma. I noticed this for the first time today. As you can see in the pictures, the strain makes a great impression and grows excellently without much worry. However, one thing to note: Runtz takes significantly more time. Almost as if it knows that good results require patience. A very good genetic—I'm almost tempted to grow it outdoors to see how it develops there. I can't say much about the taste yet, but for anyone who knows Runtz, I can only recommend this strain from Zamnesia. Green Sensation from Plagron is doing its job. It seems to be doing the plants a lot of good. This makes growing in the Grow Cup really fun. I hope I'll get the chance from 💙💙💙Zamnesia💙💙💙 to participate in more events like this.

Week 11 Update (Week 6 Flower) The trichome production on this Bruce Banner #3 is incredible. ❄️ Big thanks to @Hanfgarten – this selected cut of the Dark Horse classic is outstanding. It's extremely resinous, healthy, and stacking up perfectly. Check out the macros to see the frost! #DarkHorseGenetics #BruceBanner3 #Hanfgarten #Plagron #ViparSpectra
