These guys seem to have some stunted growth from being in that shitty rock wool dish setup I had but they are making up for it now that they are in the air pots. I transplanted them into sunshine #4 because my other plants have had problems with N tox in coco loco, the only other soil mix I have...probably wonโ€™t ever be using fox farm soil again. Too expensive for what it is and itโ€™s a pain in the ass dealing with nute probs. Day 8: into the new grow tent tomorrow Day 10: My Timber Grow Lights 480/500W QB came in! This thing is so sleek. I got it in 3000k which is a tiny bit orange/yellow because I plan on spending most of my time in flower with autos. But I find it works just as well for veg too, hard to notice any slower growth or anything. Since Iโ€™m in veg I might add my 2000w blurple to the mix to keep the girls happy

Stresskiller โœŒ๏ธ Everything went fairly well with this one. I mostly left her alone because I wanted to see how she would grow without much intervention. I still had to remove some leaves, though, because she produced a lot of them. In that run, I had three plants in the tent and one of them stretched a lot. Because of that, I could not set the light optimally for the Stresskiller, which is why the buds turned out quite airy. Even so, the smell was really nice. This was the first time I truly noticed the difference between living soil and bottled nutrients. The difference was huge. She had a very fruity aroma, almost like holding a very sweet lemon in front of you. The effects were also quite good. It was more of a daytime strain with a light high that still allowed me to get things done. It was muscle relaxing but not really suitable for sleep, since the high leaned more toward the sativa side.๐ŸŒฑ

BIGFRUITS!! ๐Ÿ˜ I love the tasty terps with this one!! https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Thanks also of course @Anesia_Seeds, for the beautiful genetics!! ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’œ ________________________________________________________ Strain Information: Foster Foster is a balanced hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and itโ€™s the result of crossing a particularly THC-rich Emperor Cookies Dough with our highly potent Sleepy Joe. The combination of these two exceptionally strong parents has resulted in a premium strain that delivers a fine balanced aroma and an insane high. Fosterโ€™s high is deceptively slow at first and creeps up, but after a few minutes her outsized potency unfolds with dizzying energy and euphoria. The mind is suddenly full of motivation and a feeling of lightness spreads. At the same time, the body is flooded with tingling, warm effects and greatly relaxed. The strain clears your mind for new ideas and concepts, lets you dream and makes you feel really happy. Due to her high potency and measured THC levels of up to 35%, she will delight and challenge those with a high tolerance with ease, while certainly beaming away novices for several hours. Because of this, she is not recommended for beginners and you should not underestimate this fragrant beauty. Growing Foster Foster is a resilient and vigorous strain that produces excellent results indoors, outdoors and in the greenhouse. She tips the scales in yields of up to 550g/mยฒ or 1000g per plant, grows quickly and forms many strong side branches with large heavy buds. Towards the end of the flowering period, the buds are covered in a thick layer of glistening resin and emit an intense sweet, fresh and floral scent. She is perfect for growing in a SCROG or SOG and has a very favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, making manicuring easy. Her terpene profile is complex, offering an aroma and flavor reminiscent of coffee, caramel, freshly baked cookies, and vanilla. Itโ€™s a seductive treat that shouldnโ€™t fool you with her mind-blowing potency. She is among the strongest strains on the market and has enough THC to blow your head off. Therapeutic effects Due to its complex terpene and cannabinoid profile, it has a similar wide range of uses in the therapeutic field as in the recreational field. It helps to reduce stress, has a mood-enhancing effect and is extremely helpful for pain and inflammation. https://anesiaseeds.com/product/foster/ ________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75โ‚ฌ) โœจ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cmยณ/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cmยณ/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 ๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜

Vegetative Week 4 โ€“ Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This fourth week of vegetative growth confirms a pattern that has unfortunately been present since the beginning of this run. The plant is technically growing, but visually she looks unhealthy, weak, and stressed. Overall structure, leaf quality, and general vigor are clearly not where they should be at this stage. Nutrient solution has been kept within a reasonable range, with pH maintained between 5.8 and 6.2 and EC around 1.1โ€“1.2. Despite this, there is no clear positive response from the plant. At this point, it is difficult to identify a single root cause. It could be related to nutrition balance, substrate preparation, environmental parameters, lighting, or simply a combination of multiple small issues accumulating since the start. The humidity dome has now been fully removed. Given the plantโ€™s current condition, maintaining excessive humidity no longer seems beneficial. The approach is now to simplify, stabilize, and observe. This run is clearly delayed, and expectations for a quick recovery are low. That said, the focus remains on learning from these early-stage difficulties and improving future starts, especially substrate preparation and initial environmental control. For now, the plant will continue to be fed consistently, without overreacting or introducing drastic changes. Observation and patience remain the priority. See you next week, and take care.

Day 65 Update: Watered both plants with almost a gallon until runoff. Plant #2's water was dosed with Terpinator at 25ml/gal. 11 days left of flushing on Plant #1. This will be Plant #2's last nutrient watering, as she will start the flushing process next watering. Also added two yoyo hangers and two stakes to Plant #2 as her branches are getting heavy (not complaining ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ) Day 68 Update: Starting flush on Plant #2 today. Plant #1 has 8 days left of flushing. Watered both plants with almost a gallon of pH balanced water until runoff.

๐ŸŒธ Week 6 Flower โ€“ The Weight of Beauty The Mango Kush sisters have stepped fully into their bloom rhythm. By this stage, the playful stretch is over โ€” itโ€™s all about bud building, resin production, and flower density. Both phenos are expressing themselves in unique ways, but they share one truth: theyโ€™re thriving, heavy, and ready to impress. โธป ๐ŸŒฑ The State of the Sisters โ€ข 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. Sheโ€™s asking for support now โ€” her flowers are getting heavy and starting to bend the branches. โ€ข Pheno #2 She may have started later, but sheโ€™s catching up beautifully. Her colas are filling in, and resin production is kicking in strong. Sheโ€™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. โธป ๐Ÿ’ง 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: โ€ข Aptus Regulator โ€“ 0.15 ml/L โ†’ Stress resistance & nutrient flow โ€ข Aptus CalMag Boost โ€“ 0.25 ml/L โ†’ Calcium & magnesium support for heavy flowers โ€ข Aptus All-in-One Liquid โ€“ 1 ml/L โ†’ Balanced NPK for mid-flower demand โ€ข Plagron Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L โ†’ Pushing flower set further โ€ข Plagron Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โ†’ Enhancing aroma, resin, and resilience โ€ข Plagron Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L โ†’ Density and trichome support Educational takeaway: Mid-flower is the peak of nutrient demand. The plant is working harder than ever โ€” pushing energy into flower mass and resin production. Balanced feeding here prevents deficiencies while avoiding overfeeding. โธป ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment Update โ€ข Temps: Still running warm at times, peaking above comfort, but airflow and circulation are holding the canopy safe. โ€ข Humidity: Fluctuating but managed, keeping VPD in a range where plants can still transpire efficiently. โ€ข COโ‚‚: 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. โธป ๐Ÿ’ก Light Orchestra The Mango Kush beauties continue under their four-light ensemble: โ€ข ThinkGrow Model One โ†’ canopy penetration โ€ข ThinkGrow ICL-300s โ†’ filling mid-canopy shadows โ€ข Future of Grow Black Series 600W โ†’ strong balanced spectrum โ€ข Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro โ†’ evening the footprint The synergy here ensures every bud site, top to bottom, is touched by clean, even light. This is why weโ€™re seeing full, consistent flower formation across the plants. โธป ๐Ÿ”ฎ What to Expect (and What Not) โœ… Expect in Week 6โ€“7: โ€ข Buds gaining weight daily โ€ข Trichome density increasing fast โ€” the โ€œfrostyโ€ look appearing โ€ข Aroma starting to thicken noticeably in the grow room โ€ข Support systems becoming necessary to hold the branches โŒ Donโ€™t Expect Yet: โ€ข Full aroma profile (still maturing) โ€ข Final color changes (anthocyanins & fade come later) โ€ข Harvest cues (pistils and trichomes are still developing) Educational takeaway: Week 6 is โ€œmid-bloom maturityโ€ โ€” the girls are past stretch, fully in flower, but not yet in their finishing stage. Itโ€™s a moment of steady building. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ 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 โ€” heavy flowers, sticky resin, and the quiet promise of whatโ€™s still to come. โธป ๐Ÿ’š Growerโ€™s Reflection โ€œThis is the week where you realize the reward is real โ€” the buds are heavy, the resin sparkles, and the plants begin to feel like theyโ€™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.โ€ โธป ๐Ÿ‘‰ 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. ๐Ÿ“Œ P.S. Troubleshooting Leaf Spots โ€“ 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? โ€ข Bigger buds = higher demand. As flowers bulk up, the plant moves Ca/Mg rapidly into developing cells. โ€ข Warm temps increase transpiration. High heat makes the plant drink more, sometimes pulling nutrients unevenly. โ€ข Solution: We adjusted by reintroducing Aptus All-in-One Liquid for extra NPK support and kept CalMag Boost steady to buffer deficiencies. ๐ŸŒฑ 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. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead โ€“ Week 7 Preview As we move into Week 7 Flower, hereโ€™s what to keep an eye on: โœ… Trichome explosion โ€“ expect resin glands to multiply, giving that first real frost on sugar leaves. โœ… Aroma awakening โ€“ terpenes will become more noticeable; brushing past the canopy will release fruity, kushy hints. โœ… Bud hardening โ€“ calyxes swell and flowers get denser; staking/support becomes more urgent. โŒ Donโ€™t expect maturity yet โ€“ pistils will still be white, and trichomes mostly clear/cloudy. Harvest signs come later. Educational takeaway: Week 7 is the โ€œicing phaseโ€ โ€” the weight is already there, but the sparkle, smell, and stickiness take center stage. ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Smooth few days after the defoliations. They seem to be happy. Malted Milk can be very temperamental but I have been catching on to her ways. Still wary with my feedings tho. Want to give all these different nutes and unknown what the results will be? Installed ac units in each room to ensure good temperatures and RH outside the tents. Hoping for another good week!

This week the photoperiods showed clear progress in vegetative growth, with bigger leaves spreading out and new nodes stacking in nicely. Their color has stayed healthy and consistent, confirming theyโ€™re settling well into their 1-gallon pots. On August 26, beneficial nematodes were applied during a watering to boost pest prevention and protect the soil long-term. Humidity and temperature have been monitored closely, with minor adjustments made to keep the VPD in a safe range. By midweek, the canopy began to fill out more evenly, and the plants are looking strong and balanced. Overall, Week 3 has been about steady development, root expansion, and keeping the environment stable. Theyโ€™re now building a solid foundation for future training and shaping as veg continues.
