2/12 Week 7 Hairs beginning to show up more each day and the growth tips are transforming. Continuing to encourage bushing by defoliating the top canopy every couple of days. Lots of bud sites in their future. Lowering Nitrogen by putting them on all Bloom nuets , prob should have done that weeks ago. 29 inches high no sign of slowing. No problems unless we hit 40 inches. Then I gotta think 😣 Don't see any reason to worry stretch should end in a week to 10 days or less and there are a few things I got up my sleeve. Actually these are the kinds of problems I signed up for and Ive nothing to complain about, this stuff is fun. 😁 Here's hoping for a big arsed harvest! I was asked why I am letting the lower end of the plants get so over grown. The idea is that this will slow down the upward growth and maybe get them to bush more later. When the room exists in the flower tent that will be cleaned up. Hitting them with the kangaroots again one last time in the morning to see if we can get those root balls expanded for bud building. 2/13 Pics Starting to get some height differences(less than 2 inches) between the plants under the LED and those under the HPS so I have changed the HPS out for a MH light to slow down the height gains in the flowering tent. Their nodes could use some shortening. Have other reasons but thats it for this grow. Hung a small 2700K 30 watt LED directly over Aeryn out of the path of the main light to give her just a bit more red spectrum. Not much but something. 2/14 Rearranged the tent to give better access to the photos and allow better hanging of the small LED and give a bit more light from the MH. Runoff tested on all plants and ranged from 550-600 ppm which just leaves us all kinds of room later for more nuets. Heck this is perfect 2/17 Stepping down the nuets slightly 2/19 End week note: Finally see some very slight nitrogen def on Aeryn so nuets back up, found the bottom end of of it. Folding in PK at a low dose Flipped week back to veg, only in flower the last day or so of the week

Mango Kush – Week 4 Flower (Week 8 from Seed) The bulking begins: pistils, stacking, and balanced nutrition Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors (The ThinkRoulette ecosystem) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Bulking Mode Activated Week 4 is an important checkpoint in any bloom cycle. The Mango Kush sisters are no longer just “in flower”, they are now building flowers. Pistils are everywhere, thick and vibrant, forming the foundation for what will become dense, resin-packed buds. Both phenos are looking strong: • Pheno #1 – More advanced, pistil clusters stacking into early budlets, filling her frame with confidence. • Pheno #2 – A little behind, but catching up fast. She may have taken longer to flip (since she germinated later), but she’s now pushing out strong, healthy white hairs that signal the start of her bulking stage. This week’s studio and improvised studio photos capture this perfectly—the transition from “flower set” to flower building. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Simplifying for Strength This week, we made an important nutritional adjustment: • Removed: Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Aptus Top Booster • Kept: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why this change? At this stage, the super soil’s NPK balance (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) is already strong enough to sustain healthy growth and flower formation. Adding the All-in-One Liquid or Top Booster would risk redundancy, too much nutrient overlap can actually slow the plant down, cause salt build-up, or push her into unnecessary stress. By keeping only the boosters and biostimulants, we are: • Supporting flower stacking and density (Power Buds). • Enhancing terpene and resin production (Sugar Royal). • Adding a multi-function bloom enhancer (Green Sensation, famous for its late-flower results). • Maintaining structure, transport, and stress resistance (Regulator). • Keeping calcium and magnesium in check (CalMag Boost). 🌱 Educational takeaway: Week 4 is about controlled nutrition, not force-feeding. Too much input can overwhelm plants; the art is in balancing what the soil already provides with just enough supplements to guide the plant’s energy toward flowers. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Stability Matters The Mango Kush girls continue to thrive under the TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS ecosystem, giving live readings of: • Soil moisture (watering when ~19–20%) • EC levels (tracking buildup) • Temperature & RH (still peaking high at times, but stable airflow keeps the canopy safe) The ThinkRoulette ecosystem (TrolMaster + lighting synergy) has been running flawlessly, creating a stable and responsive environment. This consistency is what allows the girls to focus their energy on bulking rather than on fighting stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Canopy in Harmony The four-light setup continues to shine as a perfectly balanced orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Deep canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300s – Mid-canopy energy, no sites left behind. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Spectrum balance. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Evening out the footprint. Result: The canopy is even, pistils are popping from top to bottom, and no part of the plant is left in the dark. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Check-In – Mango Kush in Mid-Flower Mango Kush (Mango × Hindu Kush) is famous for her fruity-sweet aroma with earthy Kush undertones. Week 4 is where the genetic potential starts to show: • Bud structure is beginning to define itself—rounded calyx clusters forming the early shape. • Aroma is still light, but brushing against the plants gives faint hints of fruit and spice. • Phenotypic difference: Pheno #1 is flowering earlier and faster, while Pheno #2 lags a week behind. This may result in staggered harvest windows, giving two slightly different expressions of the same strain. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ What to Expect in Week 4–5: • Noticeable bud bulking. • Rapid calyx development, pistil clusters getting denser. • First trichomes appearing under macro view. • Water demand increasing steadily. • Early terpene hints becoming stronger week by week. ❌ What Not to Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (that comes around Week 5–6). • Major resin frosting (Week 5 onward). • Final bud density or color changes (those happen in later bloom). Educational takeaway: Patience is key. Week 4 is about building structure. The “icing” (frost, density, aroma explosion) comes later. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – The Journey • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretched tall, Pheno #2 filled out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12 → stretch begins. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Bloom boosters introduced, lights upgraded. • Week 7 (Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, pistils everywhere, irrigation system added. • Week 8 (Now, Flower Week 4): Bulking stage, pistils thick and abundant, nutrition simplified, environment stable. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the community—thank you for following along, for sharing knowledge, and for keeping the love of cultivation alive. These reports are more than just grow logs, they are learning tools, and together we’re documenting the journey of two Mango Kush sisters from seed to flower. And to the gear, the TrolMaster, the ThinkRoulette ecosystem, and the full lighting orchestra, you make this possible. Technology doesn’t grow the plant, but it empowers the grower to let the plant reach her full potential. ⸻ 📸 This week’s highlight: Studio and improvised studio shots capturing the moment where flower set becomes flower build. ✨ In short: Week 4 Flower is the week of foundations. The pistils are thick, the flowers are forming, and the stage is set for resin and density in the weeks to come. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2 A quick note on the sisters’ timelines: • Pheno #1 remains ahead—already deep in flower, stacking pistils fast and showing more advanced bud formation. • Pheno #2, while it started later, is catching up beautifully. Her pistils are now bursting and forming thick clusters, but she still sits a bit behind her sister. This difference is natural: Pheno #2 germinated later and is effectively running on a slightly younger internal clock. The 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 hours off) means she is easing into flower at her own rhythm. 👉 What this means: Both plants are thriving, but don’t expect them to bulk or finish at the same exact time. This staggered development could actually be a gift—two harvest windows, two terpene expressions, one journey. Educational takeaway: Even seeds from the same strain can flower on different schedules. Rather than forcing uniformity, let each phenotype tell its story. Patience reveals the full genetic spectrum. 🌿 Grower’s Note “This week felt like the real beginning of bloom. The room is alive—white hairs, bulking pistils, and that early whisper of aroma that promises so much more to come. Pheno #1 leads the charge, Pheno #2 follows on her own time, and together they remind me that growing is not about control, but about partnership. The plants teach us patience, and in return, we give them care.”

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Kicking off week 5. Did some extra work on the LST. Making sure the light penetrates all bud sites. I now understand that my initial goals are too far from what I actually will harvest..mainly due the PH issue we faced on week 4. Let's see how it goes.

Hello Growmies, As we navigate through week 9, the crescendo of the Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids’ flowering odyssey is near. Nestled within the verdant grove alongside the Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding strains, our Watermelon Candy troupe is displaying the telltale signs of impending harvest. The plants exude a melody of sweetness, with trichomes glistening like morning dew under the subdued glow of the IR lights, revealing a spectacular array of colors not typically seen in the standard lighting spectrum. Despite the compact nature of the buds, which is a result of the 12/12 light cycle they've been flourishing under, the density of these floral clusters cannot be overstated—like tiny, aromatic asteroids. Plant #1 continues its reign with a prolific bud structure that's nothing short of mesmeric. Plants #2 and #3 exhibit a bounty of floral nodes, each one a testament to the bounteous yields that are just a fortnight away. Their canopies spread wide, a testament to the cultivar's vigorous growth habit and the attentive care they’ve received. Though the buds might not break records in size, their solidity is remarkable—a testament to the precise environmental controls maintained by our trusty TrolMaster. The buds are rock-solid, heavy with resin, and brimming with the promise of potent effects and delectable flavors. Our nutritional regimen remains unchanged, delivering the essential elements for these final, crucial stages of bloom. The meticulous oversight of our automated systems ensures that our Watermelon Candy Hybrids are relishing in their peak conditions, as we nudge them gently toward full maturation. With a harvest on the horizon, the anticipation is palpable. These final days are a mixture of excitement and the bittersweet acknowledgment that this chapter is closing. Soon, we’ll be able to savor the fruits of our labor, a sweet reward for the weeks of dedication and camaraderie in our grow community. Until then, we'll continue to marvel at the transformation, watching as each plant fulfills its genetic destiny, soon to provide joy and relief in its final form. Stay lifted, Salokin

Had some family time last week and unfortunately caught covid with all the symptoms. I've been bed bound since Monday and today I'm starting to feel slighty better. Not asking for sympathy 🤣 but this explains why some of my girls have switched on me... Looks like all 3 Frosted Biscotti have gone into reveg. Obviously have a light leak but think I've sorted it now. The mystery is just well under feed as I've run out of Bloom and big Buds and its also gone into reveg. The other coco ones haven't gone into reveg and almost look done. Biscotti Mintz and Bahama Bussdown look 🔥 well impressed. The mutant Biscotti Mintz (soil) has come along nicely and looks amazing. I don't get why that hasn't revegged as its surrounded buy the others that have. The 2 at the back, (Bahama Bussdown) ones taken a slight knock and revegged and the other one has just got to heavy and collapsed. Again looks near enough done so now need to think of a plan of action for curing as tent will be occupied for at least another month. So I think that's it with the problems 🤣 .. Apologies again for not getting back to anyones dairys over the last 2weeks. I'm going to spend the weekend catching up with you all and sorting out the tent as long as I'm covid clear. My partner has been doing so much for my son and I I couldn't ask her to maintain the tent aswell. She did give them a water but no nutrients 🙈 half effort still wins my heart ❤️ Discount codes in bio for Mars hydro

At day 77 from seed, 31 days since the switch to 12-12, I hope she is done stretching because my light is as high as I can make it and as close as I want the plant. This girl is one stretchy beast. She is starting to smell a little more but still not strongly. I'm excited to watch her fill out. I will do very little defoliation from here on. She looks happy to me so far even though it looks like she has filled my tent out.

Flower day 21 Today I returned from vacation after 7 days. My first look was in the water tank, and it was indeed empty. Hopefully, I looked into the tent, and luckily, the ladies all looked healthy. The 40 liters had probably only recently been emptied. The ladies have grown more than I expected. Some even grew a few centimeters up to the lamp, and so I was forced to supercrop the longest shoots. I also lolipopt the plants properly.

Day 16: what is happening to my girl? Anyone knows?🤔 Day 17: Flushed them through with my solution mix to stabilize the ph in coco Installed my net today. I don’t really need it yet but it looks nice 😆🥦 Started with lst today Day 19: started to defoliate today, not much just 2/3 leaves each plant! Day 20: hey guys! Shit is about to go down!!!! Finally some work with the girls… I hate the early fragile days. As you guys can see I topped my girls, but hahaha I just noticed that I accidentally FIMed one plant😂 I love training my plants as much as possible. I will let them recover some days before I defoliat again. I defoliate all the way to week 1 in flower.

Not really much to say this week all 10 are growing fine with no problems at all I Will keep removing the larger fan leaves as I go along, I do this in order to try and get as much light to the bottom branches as I can before I switch them to 12/12. This will hopefully keep the canopy as even as it can be without having to do to much training or topping. Day 34 - Looking abit skinny and after the defoliation, but had to remove the middle growth and large fan leaves to get light to them bottom branches and new growth tips. I’m aiming to keep them small and bushy
