Start of week 3 and all plants doubled in size all plants are healthy, been defoliating every couple of days most of the leaf removed are the ones that overlap each other,or blocking bud sites. This week they will go under new gavita 1700e led lights. Should be interesting to see how they grow,and see what all the hype is with led tech.

TRA 10 GIORNI RACCOGLIERO QUESTO SPLENDORE PER ADESSO HO TOLTO I NUTRIENTI E LASCIATO GIUSTO L'ESSENZIALE CON ENZIMI IN MODO POSSA TEMINARE TUTTO QUELLO CHE RIMANE NEL LORO VASO

Had loads of problems with these the same happened with one of my cream cookies which died, I've not been able to figure out what it was but today I started added h2o2 to my solution so fingers crossed next week they will look healthier really dont want to lose these:(

📅 D29 - 12/09 📜 Entering in the 4th week of vegetation, almost ready for preflowering. Today I made a big defolation and tied up the main branches with LST. Focus strongly on res as it has a strange behavior (EC falling and pH static). If tomorrow will be again like this, I will completely change the water and I will set a lower EC. T and H are now under control. ✍️ 1,3 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 9,5 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D30 - 13/09 📜 Today I made a big defolation, cutting all the branches not interesting. Sadly I cut also one of main branch by mistake. Too bad, I'm very upset. Added 1,5 L of water with EC = 1,43 and pH = 5,8. ✍️ 1,29 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D31 - 14/09 📜 I made some LST in order to cover the space of the broken stem and leave more space to the other branches. Today I not feed her, waiting for tomorrowv to add 1,5 L. Lucy is almost ready for SCROG. I think she will start soon, for sure this week. The res EC and pH seems stable now. T and H are under strict control. ✍️ 1,29 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D32 - 15/09 📜 I start ScrOG training today. Tommorow I will change the res as I don't like how pH and EC are moving. pH tester is broken again, I purchase a professional one for a lot of money. I hope this will do his job for long time. ✍️ 1,2 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 8,5 L (added 1 L) 📏 11 cm 📅 D33 - 16/09 📜 Big News: Lucy starts preflowering. A little bit earlier than my tought but I think I can manage, as she looks great right now. I also changed the res, pushing the EC until 1,45 and turned on the flowering lights.The ScroG Net is working fine, I guess. Update: T is really too high (now near 36 °C) as I turn on the bloom lights. I'm trying to fix the problem in a creative way: I put some dry ice just in front of area injector and T lowered a little. H is in between 70% - 85%. ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L (new res) 📏 15 cm 📅 D34 - 17/09 📜 Lucy in ple flowering stage and the buds are starting grow very fast. The ScrOG net works good until now. I've some problem with the Temp, cause it's always around 35 °C that is too much.. I need to keep the H in between 75% - 85% to balance such high Temp but it's quite difficult. The reason of such high T is because I turned on the bloom lights. Also, today I had a strange beahavior of pH that is decreasing. Now I fix it on 5,5 but I've to be prepared to change res again. Made also some defolation. ✍️ 1 EC ♒ 5,6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 15 cm 📅 D35 - 18/09 📜 Last day of fouth week and last of vegetation. Today pH gone again down 5,5. I added 1 L. of water with normal nuts, pH+ and also GHE Pro Bloom, raising both pH and EC. I will change the res on monday, as soon as I will have affordable measuring tools. SCroG seems working very well and Lucy looks healty. ✍️ 1 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 9,5 L 📏 15 cm

Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature. The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍. The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍. Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) . Did them a lot of good. You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 A thank you for this wonderful strain goes out to Herzog https://instagram.com/herzog030?utm_medium=copy_link and the Exotic Seeds team You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros.

Day 15:Gave water & nutrients (2 L each). For the looks they do very well - dark green. Fanleaves build little sunroofs over a good amount of new shoots from the nodes😊. Planns for this week: will keep the soil moist and spongy and wait for the first roots to come out the bags. Till there i'll keep my alternating rhythm of clear water/nutrient solution. As soon as the pots are fully rootet through, i'll start feeding with a little drain, so i can observe wether my soil gets too salty or not. Further i'll keep bending the tops, in order to give more light to the younger shoots. As soon as the stems start making diameter, i'll prepare my scrog-net. Day 16: everything fine so far - nothing to do.....let them ladies do they thang...... Day 17: 1.5 liters of water each (pH 6.2) 1st root made it throug the bottom-edge of the pot💪!!! strong white and meaty😁. stems get stronger now, plants show dark green colour. 1(!) tipp shows a tiny little tipp-burn. i will keep watering 'till the ladies loose a little of that dark green..... just to avoid overfeeding. Day 18: 1.25 liters of water each (pH 6.2) Everything fine so far…….. still dark green an vital. Soil is soaked (i had first little drops coming out the bottom after watering this morning) Thoughts: More LST? Less LST? These fanleaves are really huge and make real sunroofs right above the new shoots. I don't see any way to get the shoots into the 'sun' but bending those fanleaves away.....but honestly..... nope! Since the lights are running at 60% (~600 ppfd) already, i rather give the littleones a soft start. They'll make it through the roof one day. My real 'concern' is the height. Yet the stem doesn't really push upwards..... if these ladies stay short, it'll take plenty of time to create a scrog 😕. Wonder wether it could help, if i let them grow straight up for a while and bend them again later. Any suggestions? Day 19: plant 3 really pops out some roots...😁; elsewise everything fine...... Day 20: Poured out some 1.5 l of water to each an had a decent amount of drain…… pH 6.1 EC 2.4 - 3.4 (average 2.9)🤡😵‍💫! Since the ladies don‘t show any tipp-burn, i will keep watering with drain (daily from now on) instead of flushing them - no panic here 😎. i guess it was just some accumulations from feeding without drain. Stems get stronger…… slow but steadily……. They still don‘t make much hight, though they produce mass. No worries yet:-) What's next? Will keep watering with drain and have an eye on EC. As soon as it gets below 1.4/1.5 i'll start feedin nutrients again. In case the ladies start getting brighter, i'll start feeding just underneath the EC, measured at last. Day 21: Drain EC still rising!!! (top 3.7/avg. 3.0)..... still not panicking - i observed very few leafs, rolling up their teeth...... but there are some. No tipp-burn at all. 1 liter poured out, would produce about 0.4 liters of drain - i guess there is still a lot of root-growth happening. Main colas and shoots are developing fine. Still dark green. Lifted the lights a bit - since the ladies took a little hight😁. Thoughts: According to the producer, my soil has an EC of about 1.2. Factoring the amount and concentration of nutrient-solution fed, i can only etsimate, there are some accumuations, residue or whatever, washing out from top to bottom. Though i'll have to check for signs of overfeeding...... and do a little flush ........only if REALLY necessary😤! In an ideal world, the ladies would demad more nutrients with any bit of growth, so i would just have to feed them water, another 2 or 3 days and everything was just perfect😁😁😁 UPCOMING: Week 4 😶

Getting close to the finish line.. Advanced nutrients #1 medal

Holaa horses 🐴 Nice stretch for last week. Auto Kabul just hit 47 DLI marker 🤝 drinking and eating pre flower nutrients. Last week i was thinking how to raise it and now i have to start think how to lower it 😅 Becoming Monster. Andy's project suffering a bit. Going to move it away from boombox so auto kabul gets more space. It was nice first dripfeed test grow. 16.6 Looks pretty good at the moment. watered 2L with 1.4ec. Andy moved away. With High Hopes 🍀

This week started out well. After topping both sides started growing pretty quickly. Later on in the week I decided to see how flexible the new branches were, they seemed pretty flexible so I wanted to start fixing them down, but not too low. Sadly one of the branches snapped off. I quickly tried to reattach it, but it got loose and died off. New plan, I left the second node intact to fill up some possibly empty spaces, but now they will have to serve as the right side of the manifold. Part of the timelapse is a bit weird as the camera kept sliding out of position because of the wire pulling it down, but that should be fixed now.

Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

Welcome to week4!🤠 Fixed her discoloured leafs, it was due to frequent watering🌊 She entered vegetative stage only after 3 1/2 weeks of growing, so very impresive!😯 And I'm using a humiditor to keep the air at 60%😋 See you very soon!🤠❤️

Hi Gromie's everything going awesome in the flowering tent, open the tent & its like hitting a wall of smell hard at high speed!!! Harvested the Orange sherbet clone at the front of the tent at week 8 day 56. Considering all that she had been through early on she produced some really nice sized frosty & dense & very sticky buds. The other 2 are getting close as well.

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 1 Flower | Every Phenotype Tells Its Own Story The beauty of running multiple phenotypes from the same genetic line is seeing how each plant writes its own story. While her sister has already embraced the flowering stretch with a tall, elegant frame, Pheno B has chosen a different path. She has remained compact, sturdy, and methodical, investing her energy into building a strong structure before fully committing to flower. Although both plants germinated together, share the same environment, receive exactly the same feeding schedule, and have been trained using the same techniques, nature reminds us that every seed carries its own personality. This slight delay isn’t a disadvantage—it’s simply another expression of the genetics, and one that I’m excited to follow over the coming weeks. As always, this grow continues under my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. Instead of giving the plants an extended vegetative period, they are flowered from the very beginning, allowing each phenotype to naturally reveal how efficiently it can grow, stretch, and produce within a shorter lifecycle. It’s an amazing way to discover unique expressions while making excellent use of indoor space. ⸻ 🌱 Environment Since both Amnesia Haze phenotypes share the same flowering room, Pheno B has enjoyed exactly the same stable environmental conditions throughout the week. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 31.1°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 72% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21.6°C ? Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: ~639 ppm Maintaining stable environmental conditions is one of the biggest factors behind healthy plant development. Rather than constantly chasing numbers, I prefer creating consistency. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, proper humidity and good airflow allow the plants to focus entirely on growth instead of adapting to environmental swings. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Management Just like her sister, Pheno B continues receiving only gentle Low Stress Training together with regular leaf tucking. No heavy defoliation has been necessary. Instead, large fan leaves are simply repositioned whenever needed to expose developing flowering sites underneath. This approach improves light penetration and airflow while allowing the plant to keep nearly all of her solar panels working at full capacity. Because she’s naturally shorter and more compact, her canopy already has excellent structure. The goal now is simply encouraging every future cola to receive as much light as possible while allowing her to complete her stretch naturally. Sometimes the best training is knowing when not to over-train. ⸻ 🌾 Feeding Program This week represents that interesting transition where the plant isn’t fully vegetating anymore, but hasn’t completely entered flower either. For that reason I’m currently combining both vegetative and flowering nutrients, allowing the plant to transition smoothly without experiencing unnecessary stress. Current feeding: • Plagron Terra Grow — supporting continued structural growth during stretch. • Plagron Terra Bloom — gradually introducing the phosphorus and potassium needed for flower initiation. • Plagron Power Roots — encouraging continuous root expansion while the plant transitions. • Plagron Sugar Royal — supporting terpene and flavour production from the very beginning. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient availability by breaking down old root material. • Plagron Power Buds — stimulating the natural transition into flowering and encouraging additional flower site formation. This balanced approach ensures the plant still receives enough nitrogen to fuel stretch while slowly shifting nutritional priorities toward flower production. ⸻ 🌿 Phenotype Spotlight Pheno B is quickly becoming the “compact powerhouse” of the pair. Standing at approximately 55 cm, she’s significantly shorter than her sister but carries noticeably tighter internodal spacing and a much denser canopy. Every branch feels sturdy, every node is closely stacked, and the overall structure suggests she may eventually produce a very compact field of dense flowers. Flower initiation is just beginning. Fresh white pistils are appearing across every growing tip, and the stretch is only starting to gain momentum. Rather than racing upward, she’s carefully building each level before moving on to the next. One thing that immediately stands out is how balanced her architecture already is. Even with very minimal intervention, multiple future flowering sites are receiving excellent exposure, and her natural symmetry should make canopy management straightforward over the coming weeks. Sometimes slower simply means stronger. If this structure carries through to harvest, she has every opportunity to become one of those incredibly satisfying plants that stays manageable in size while producing remarkably dense, resin-rich colas. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect Pheno B to fully commit to flowering as the stretch accelerates and the first true bud sites begin to stack along every branch. Training will remain minimal, with continued leaf tucking and occasional adjustments to maintain an open canopy. Feeding will continue following this gradual transition toward a full flowering program while carefully monitoring her response as nutrient demand increases. Her sister may have taken the lead in flowering, but Pheno B is quietly building something very promising. Sometimes the plants that start slower end up delivering the biggest surprises. ⸻ Thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make projects like this possible, and to Plagron for keeping these ladies thriving with an outstanding nutrient line throughout every stage of growth. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following along, sharing your knowledge, offering encouragement, and making this hobby even more enjoyable. Every comment, question, and bit of support motivates me to keep documenting the journey one week at a time. Until next week, growers love and … Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Week two, girls seem to be OK still, although I have little clue as to how big they should be! May 11th (day 9 since planting sprouted seeds into final pots), I think they are doing OK? Pictures are from May 11th. No nutes given although I did add 0.5ml to 1 litre water, in a sprayer, but have restrained myself from using it yet!! Watering has been using bottled spring water which I leave (5ltr bottles) in the grow tent so it's the same temp as air and substrate. I've pretty much let them dry out between watering. Raised light height a little as I have a small amount of curl on the leaf ends. I also made the fan a little less direct. I feel like I know this has to be light or fan related as the girls are not root-bound and all other parameters are fine. I could well be wrong of course, but I'm determined to learn what the girls want by changing the obvious parameters first before worrying about the big stuff. It's a very mild curl anyhow so I believe it'll be heat/light and fan related. Size-wise, the three are between 75 and 90mm tall and span in 95 to 110mm. If anyone has any thoughts I would love to hear/read them! May 12th I was really pleased to see the progress when I checked on them this morning. I have added a picture. The difference between yesterday and today is pretty clear. Things seem to be OK(?) but what do I know; this is my first grow following reading and learning a little. I've been spraying the leaves before lights out. Is this a good thing? I am aiming to LST the girls so, could anyone recommend when? How many nodes, how tall etc... It would really help me feel confident in the training. May 13th. Pretty amazed at how they're doing. Not that I particularly have anything to compare to experience-wise as these are my first grow. They're kinda praying a little so, doing some reading up on here, I have decided to raise the lights to 20" from 18". Maybe I should go higher? I'll see. Anyhow, temps went up over night as I had closed my grow room window so when I checked this morning they were sitting in 28.6C and 41% humidity. Now more stable at 25C and 47%. One thing I had not realised was how mercurial the temp and humidity would be and how quickly it changes so I need to be more mindful of this. I have added .5ml Biobizz Bio-Grow per 1ltr bottled spring water, although I am still using water only at this time, but in the next couple of days (start of week 3) I will start adding low dose nutes and then foliage spraying them just before lights out and see what that brings. I can always back it off I guess. It's all a bit of educated guesswork, currently, whilst I find my feet with this! May 14th. Decided to hold back on the nutes; Biobizz schedule is seemingly for cuttings and not seedlings so I think I've avoided a potential issue there, given that the Biobizz All-mix soilds have enough nutes to carry the seedlings through almost to flowering of the autos. So, I will remain on giving just bottled spring water until day 21, so, another 1.5 weeks. Then I think I'll add grow and bloom together at the suggested rates. I have some foliar spray mixed up with grow at 0.5ml/L which I think I will use for misting just before lights-out. No picture today... but I will post pics tomorrow instead. May 15th, day 13. Pictures uploaded. The girls are getting really broad, but height only 110mm. Should I raise my lights which are at 19" above top of canopy. They're certainly growing and seem healthy! Still watering (every two days, allowing for an almost dry substrate using the finger/knuckle test in the soil. May 16th, day 14. Started LST with bendy pipe cleaners. Honestly, it was nerve-wracking. I placed anchors at the base and did a simple bend to between 55 and 70 degrees across them. Only thing is, some of the canopy/lower leaves are almost touching the substrate so, should I trim them? I couldn't get up to the top to pull down either and had to go lower, as the plants are very young and squat, seemingly, so not a lot of spacing so I did what I could, anchoring under whatever was free in terms of space. Tomorrow - week 3 of veg starts!

Update of Goofiez 2 !! It’s incredible this strain is so strong and fast grow !! Stay tu ed

Mango Kush – Week 3 Flower (Week 7 from Seed) Full bloom mode, white hairs, flower set, and the road ahead Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – Welcome to Bloom This is the week where potential becomes reality. After last week’s transition, the Mango Kush sisters have officially declared themselves in flower mode. Both phenos are pushing pistils everywhere, covering the canopy with bright white hairs—a sign that flower sites are established and stacking is about to begin. • Pheno #1: Taller, more aggressive stretch, stacking sites fast, almost frame-filling. • Pheno #2: Slightly more compact, slower to start, but now catching fire—showing dense bud initiation with tighter internodes. The studio photo session this week captured the exact transformation: the difference between “pre-flower promise” and “flower reality.” From here forward, every day is about bud development, resin production, and stacking density. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Bloom Formula Dialed In The nutrient program continues blending Aptus precision with Plagron bloom support. The girls are thriving on this synergy—lush green leaves, pistil burst, no signs of excess salts. Water Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 1 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml ✅ Expect: Increased flower site density, tighter stacking, and early terpene production (Sugar Royal always adds a little magic). ❌ Not yet: Bulk swelling, trichome frost, or strong aromas. That comes in weeks 4–6 flower. The soil’s built-in slow-release base continues to carry background nutrition, so we’re staying light-handed with the liquids—less is more when roots are healthy. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Riding the Edge • Temps: Still spiking up to 34°C at times, but girls are handling it like warriors. AC install is next on the list. • Humidity: 60–65% (slightly high for flower, but manageable with strong airflow). • VPD: ~1.9 kPa average. • Soil Moisture: Watered down to ~19% before rehydration. At this stage, stable environment = stable flowers. High temps can cause looser buds, so dialing this in soon will maximize density. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Full Bloom Orchestra All four lights now play in harmony, giving wall-to-wall coverage: • ThinkGrow Model One: The powerhouse, deep penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2): Filling in under-canopy shadows. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W: Spectrum balance, mid-canopy support. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro: Evens out PPFD across the whole footprint. Result: Every bud site, even low ones, has access to usable photons. Expect more uniform flower development, not just “top colas.” ⸻ 🧠 TrolMaster – Data, Not Guesswork The WCS substrate sensors keep feeding real-time EC, moisture, temp, and RH data. It’s more than numbers—it’s decision-making power: • When to water → guided by substrate moisture, not by “feeling the pot.” • How much EC is accumulating → avoiding salt stress. • Canopy climate control → fine-tuning towards ideal flower VPD. Automation is close. For now, manual love + sensor intelligence keeps the grow dialed. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Spotlight – Mango Kush Let’s take a moment to thank the plant itself. Mango Kush is a hybrid of Mango × Hindu Kush, known for its tropical-fruit terpenes layered over earthy Kush base notes. • Expectations in flower: • Medium stretch (which we’ve already seen). • Dense, rounded buds with fiery orange pistils. • Aromas of sweet mango, banana peel, and subtle hashy undertones. • Flowering time: ~8–10 weeks, depending on pheno. One reason Mango Kush is so loved is balance—it’s not just about potency, but flavor and experience. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – From Seed to Flowering • Weeks 0–2: Germination → healthy seedlings with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretching tall, Pheno #2 filling out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12. Stretch begins, PPFD ramped. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Nutrient transition, bloom boosters, light upgrades. • Week 7 (Now, Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, white hairs everywhere, feeding program locked. Two sisters, two phenos, one journey—and now the story really begins. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect (Educational Section) ✅ What to Expect in Weeks 3–5 Flower: • Flower sites expanding and stacking. • First hints of terpene expression (light smells when brushing plants). • Slight increase in daily water consumption. • Energy focused on bud set, not yet on resin production. ❌ What NOT to Expect Yet: • Heavy trichome frost. • Big swelling of calyxes. • Strong final aromas. • Final coloration (those come in late flower). Understanding this prevents false alarms and keeps growers patient. The best results come from not rushing the process. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To everyone reading, watching, and learning alongside this grow: thank you. This is more than just cultivation—it’s about community, knowledge, and respect for the plant. And let’s thank the gear, too: without the lights, sensors, and nutrients, the artistry of cultivation would lack its canvas. ✨ In short: Week 3 flower is where dreams begin to crystallize. The Mango Kush sisters are past the point of no return—now it’s bloom all the way. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. New Irrigation System – Mars Hydro Foldable Bucket Drip Kit This week, we also welcomed a new tool into the grow room: the Mars Hydro Drip Irrigation Kit (link here). 👉 Important note: I’m not running it on automation or timers. I will manually control it, plugging it in and off when watering. This way, I get the benefit of precise, even distribution, while keeping full hands-on control. What it is: • A bucket-based drip system that distributes water (or nutrient solution) evenly to multiple pots through adjustable drip emitters. • A way to reduce manual hand-pouring and ensure more consistent soil hydration. • A tool that can save root systems from “wet/dry pockets” that sometimes happen with hand-watering. What it is NOT: • It’s not fully automated irrigation (unless connected to timers or sensors). • It doesn’t make plant care “hands-free.” You still have to decide when and how much to water. • It won’t replace observation—plants still speak through their leaves and posture. What to Expect: ✅ More even watering across pots. ✅ Reduced runoff mess if dialed correctly. ✅ Less physical strain compared to hand-watering each plant. ✅ The chance to experiment with “precision irrigation” in future grows. What NOT to Expect (yet): ❌ Fully automated feeding schedules. ❌ Perfect calibration out of the box (it takes a few runs to dial flow rate for each pot). ❌ A substitute for plant observation—eyes on the canopy are still the most important tool. Educational takeaway: Drip systems are bridges between hand-watering and full automation. They give growers consistency without completely removing the grower’s role. For many, this is the sweet spot—technology supporting, not replacing, the human touch. P.S. #2 – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2: Different Timelines Another important note this week: the two Mango Kush sisters are not in the exact same stage of flower. • Pheno #1 – More advanced. She is already in full flower mode, pistils bursting, bud sites defined, white hairs everywhere. This is the classic “week 3 flower look.” • Pheno #2 – Slower. She is not yet fully in flower. Why? Because she was germinated later and is effectively running a slightly younger internal clock—closer to 11–13 from seed. 👉 With the 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 off), Pheno #2 is taking her time to settle into bloom. This is not a problem, it’s genetics and timing. Each seed is unique, and sometimes phenos stagger into flower. What this means for the grow: • Don’t expect both plants to bulk at the same time. • Pheno #1 may finish earlier. • Pheno #2 could become the “late bloomer,” giving us a longer harvest window and potentially different terpene expression. Educational takeaway: Not all phenotypes follow the same timeline, even under identical conditions. One may stretch earlier, another may flower later. As growers, our role is to adapt and respect the individuality of each plant. 🌱 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Alright guys, I'm back First I thought she wasn't going to make it but then she started developing even better so we've got her already blooming guys! We started adding floranova bloom but we keep adding floranova grow for the veggie stage, we will increase bloom nutes soon We continue applying LST plus some watering every so often to keep her moist and wet but never super wet just chill Depending on your lights wattage you could need more or less water you will have to figure it out yourself but for me is 600ml per 24 hrs morning and night time usually I keep the very well hydrated and they have been showing off for good!!!
