Harvest time has come. It is difficult to kill a plant I have been raising so lovingly and with a lot of care as a wonderful living being that she is (and we all are as One). I even stayed up all night once to do a slow full 3x flush of the soil with emergency pH correction and buffering when I finally received the meters and looked at runoff values. It was almost like manually pumping a blood transfusion for a patient overnight. The idea to grow indoors came as a lightning and almost by a random chance. It was, of course, a synchronicity of a high order, because that flash coincided precisely with a rare moment where I had a small window of time to collect seeds of my choice in person and transport them safely and very quickly. And get extremely helpful advice from a moderately experienced grower, who helped me avoid self-taught rookie mistakes and pick an almost perfect setup for my purposes. Many steps I have learned only when it was time to take them, and since there's only so much I can do in a day, I got to some procedures like instrumentally checking salt buildup and substrate pH pretty late. I did monitor her leaves from the get-go, so leaving aside a light nute / photon burn of the tips, I think it went pretty well. Definitely better than I would have imagined! I wanted to do a small sitting meditation beside the plant before cutting her to dry. Wanted to thank the plant for this majestic experience and the healing power of gardening and caring for a plant on top of the medicinal values of cured buds and edibles we made along the way from trimmed fans. Those were unexpectedly strong and pleasantly smoooth. Wanted to tell her that I will miss her and remember her fondly, especially since she is my first full successful grow. The first time is always an unforgettable experience. Wanted to tell her that I do not want to kill her, and it was painful for me to FIM and shape her. A sitting meditation turned into a dynamic meditation when I started removing light gear and feeding system and cleaning the grow space in preparation for drying. Pretty quickly I noticed that I have a very real feeling of experiencing light- to medium-dose mushroom trip. I had vaped some 50/50 hybrid street bud half an hour earlier, but it was a very modest dose — shout out to TinyMight, you guys are amazing! — but no psychedelics. At that moment I felt that I don't need to say anything to the plant, because we are one and she had known my every feeling and intention from the start. And then I realized that what I had considered to be a sombre event, is just a transformation for the plant, it's next manifestation. Having lived as a plant, she will now transform into happy and healing experiences of those who will enjoy her flowers. This plant has supported me and helped me heal deep trauma and depression at least twice in my life over a period of a few months on each occasion. In between those healing periods it was just a get high and enjoy shit because why not kind of thing, and it didn't have any long lasting psychological effect at all, in stark contrast to classical psychedelics (LSD, shrooms, DMT etc). During those non-healing periods I didn't even have an urge to smoke all that often. I could easily not touch the stuff for a couple of months straight. My yearly consumption was in low single digit grams. Sometimes I felt that I did not enjoy the effect at all, it was slightly unpleasant even. Why would I want to blur my crisp perception to a gooey marshmallow state of cannabinoid high and scattered attention? But when it is time to do some inner work — and you cannot miss this feeling if you strive to tune into your inner state — god, is it a POWERFUL plant! I am very happy and humbled to be a conduit for this energy by caring for the plants and raising them. I respect this plant very deeply. --- Split her into thee parts by leaving only a few nodes creating the outer layer of colas on each level and effectively "topping" her a couple of levels above (or below, technically, now that she's upside down) and this creating a new drying layer/level. Tried wet trimming and I think I liked it. Will try to complete it in the next 1-2 days if I decide to go ahead with the idea. --- After drying for 7 days, I stabilized humidity at 60-62% for 4 hours and then chopped off buds (trimmed in batches during the first 3 days of drying), weighed and packed into glass jars for curing. Literally packed, because she yielded over 4 litres of dried trimmed bud (I think it was 4.5l) weighing 267g. WOW. I did not expect that on my first run I will be able to grow so much potent medicine. A lot of it is fluffy, but can be easily pressed denser, if storage or appearance are a concern. In fact, I had to press the buds slightly to make it all fit in two 2-litre jars. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and thank you for your warm wishes! And thank you — the One reading this right now.

Mango Kush – Week 2 Flower (Week 6 from Seed) Bloom boosters, high temps, new lights, and a little tribute to nature Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: Full TrolMaster ecosystem (Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors and more) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 2 Flower – Transition Mode The Mango Kush sisters are looking absolutely stunning, even if this week was busier for me and I only managed a few photos. 🌱 Instead, I recorded a video walkthrough so everyone can see the whole room vibe, happy, lush, and full of energy. Both phenos are pushing beautifully into flower: • Pheno #1: Taller, branchy, already stretching into her flower frame. • Pheno #2: Started later, but catching up fast, morphing gracefully into bloom. The morphology shift is very visible this week, especially with the introduction of new bloom-focused nutrients. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – The New Recipe This week we swapped Start Booster → Top Booster and introduced a few Plagron classics to complement the Aptus base: 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 We paused All-in-One Liquid for now, letting the slow-release pellets in the super soil do their work. The idea: less redundancy, more synergy. 💡 Experiment in Progress: I’ve used Plagron successfully in the past, but this is my first time weaving their trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) into an Aptus base. It’s improvisation, yes, but that’s where discoveries are made. Let’s see how the Mango Kush girls respond! ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Riding the Highs • Temps: Sometimes peaking at 34°C (🌬️ AC unit on the way soon!) • Humidity: 60–70% at times • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • Soil Moisture: Watering when down to 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor → feeding me EC, moisture, and root zone data in real time ⚠️ It’s not a “perfect” VPD chart this week, but the Mango Kush girls are handling it like champs. Sometimes stress teaches resilience, and these ladies are showing strength. ⸻ 💡 Lighting the Room The canopy is now supported by a serious multi-light orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Main engine, full spectrum power • ThinkGrow ICL-300 – Inner canopy lights bringing energy to lower branches, helping all bud sites shine • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Supporting spectrum balance • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Newly added, boosting the footprint and canopy penetration Together, this creates an even distribution of photons across the room, minimizing shadow zones and preparing the girls for heavy bloom stacking. ⸻ 🧠 TrolMaster Ecosystem – Grow Room Brain The Tent-X controller, paired with WCS substrate sensors, has become my right hand: • Live feedback on soil moisture, EC, temp, and RH • Smarter watering decisions (no guessing, just data) • Automation ready → The dream of a fully self-regulating grow room is coming closer For now, I still hand-water, but soon automation will take over. Until then, it’s hands-on love every day. ⸻ 🐝 A Tribute to Bees – Nature’s Pollinators While we manage indoor canopies with LEDs and controllers, let’s not forget the simple magic of nature. Outdoors, it’s the bees that keep the cycle of life moving. One photo I’m sharing this week is of a bee pollinating a flower, a reminder that without them, much of our food (and medicine) would vanish. Bees are not just workers; they are guardians of biodiversity. 🌍💛 Let’s honor them in every grow, even indoors, where they cannot reach. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – From Seed to Now • Week 0–2: Germination & seedling stage, Aptus Start Booster for early vigor • Week 3–4: Veg growth, branching in Pheno #1, Pheno #2 catching up • Week 5: Flip to flower, stretch begins, PPFD raised to 766 • Week 6 (Now): Morphology shift, bloom boosters added, lights upgraded, temps testing resilience The Mango Kush girls have evolved beautifully every step of the way , two different phenos, one journey, one story. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next • AC installation → stabilize temps into the sweet 26–28°C range • Closer monitoring of Plagron + Aptus synergy → expect denser flowers • Watch for first true pistils and bud formation in Week 3 Flower • More light power on standby as the canopy fills out ⸻ 📹 This week’s highlight: A video tour of the full room (since fewer photos this time). 📸 A few shots are included to show just how happy the Mango Kush girls are. 🌱 Thank you everyone for reading, learning, and growing along with us!

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.- Why These Plagron Additives? – A Deep Dive I’ve decided to complement the Aptus base with three Plagron boosters. Each one has its own role in the flowering process, and together they form a very balanced support system for the Mango Kush ladies. 🌸 Power Buds (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Early flowering stimulator • What it does: Power Buds encourages the plant to initiate bud development faster. It shortens the “transition phase” from veg into bloom, helping flowers form sooner and more consistently across the canopy. • Why now: We’re in Week 2 Flower, the exact point where we want to signal the plants: “It’s time to build flowers.” Power Buds sends that hormonal nudge. ⸻ 🍯 Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Enhances resin, aroma, and stress resistance • What it does: Sugar Royal contains amino acids that stimulate the plant to produce more chlorophyll and secondary metabolites. In plain terms: richer terpene profile, stickier resin, stronger smell, deeper taste. • Extra benefit: It also reduces stress from heat or drought, very useful right now since our temps have been spiking up to 34°C. • Why now: As stretch continues, plants need to stay strong and not waste energy on stress. Sugar Royal helps them thrive despite less-than-ideal VPD. ⸻ 💎 Green Sensation (1 ml/L) • Purpose: All-in-one bloom enhancer for the second half of flower • What it does: Green Sensation is a powerful 4-in-1 booster that improves: • Flowering: denser, heavier buds • Resin production: frostier flowers • Nutrient uptake: more efficient feeding • Soil health: stimulates beneficial microbial activity • Why now: Even though it shines brightest in late flower, starting early allows the soil ecosystem and plant metabolism to adapt gradually. By the time we hit peak bloom, the system is fully primed. ⸻ 🌱 How They Work Together • Power Buds → Kickstarts flower sites • Sugar Royal → Enhances resilience + resin quality • Green Sensation → Boosts density and overall flower performance The trio works like a team of specialists: one accelerates the start, one polishes the quality, and one pushes yield potential. Combined with the Aptus base (Regulator for strength, CalMag Boost for structure, Top Booster for bloom push), it’s a balanced, experimental, but very promising recipe. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Gorilla cookies and cherry cola are both hitting flower hard! The smells are pungent,the buds are sticky and the stems are strong! We’re getting nice fat buds on cherry already and gorilla isn’t too far behind her. They’ve taken very well to the feedings they’ve been given and all training done to them. So far I’m loving both of these strains 🔥🔥

She’s stalled and started fading, not sure if she’s just taking nutrients from the leaves to build buds or if she’s getting close to finish. Trichomes are all clear so I’m gonna test the soil and then decide what to do from there. Either way, she’s beautiful and she smells amazing! Like a tropical cheese skunk.

Day 65. Girls are okish, calmag mini def is still after me, now even Gorillas show off some reddish leaves stems, hope they just cant keep up with speed and amount... In flowering its bad to have unhealthy plants, so CalMag today and full bloom tommorrow eve. Girls started to drink really fast. Control garden is my joy now, Outside Cookie is a pity tho.... We shall see.... In plans to raise lights back to 60 cm from canopy, girls stretched a bit, need to adjust and i just cant wait couple more weeks till first round of defoliation :))) hope to do it on day 18 of flower latest.. Canopy is too packed, need better air and light. Thinking to get heavy artillery out, epsom salt dresing :)) thats my last hope to fight that reddish-violet and make it green again. It takes two weeks to kick inn, but works always for me... Day 66. Girls are happy, hungry and in full blast. Control garden has such healthy green its hard to describe... Cookies on other hand streched as f@%k, will have to lolitop them really high, so no proper grow and small harvest, taste is the only thing that can save them... Worthless for now.... All girls streched like 5 cm in one day, they loved CalMag. Lights been raised like 7 cm. Lets see... Day 68. Changed plans a bit, girls got silica acid with plain water and they loved it! They are happy campers and grow really fast, now only to have patience till defoliation. Girls are super packed, will have to care about them 2x more than avarage, thinking to plug in conditioner, but its still coldish weather outside, so hope to last two more weeks without that beast, no tv or orher aplaincies while this beast runs :)))) Day 68, evening. First time checked my girls after light switch to flower and i am lost, will they make it? Canopy height is like 30-35 cm, they had small lolitopings on lower levels during vegetation ( see week 8 first video just mute it, they where striped like this on week 5 as well) in video its even hard to see, but its jungles!!!! Have one fresh air fan, double fan set with carbon out, inside two standing fans and powerful conditioner, will i make it with only defoliation or should i clear them hard aswell? Never growed such low and dence plants before. Please advice or show diary to read. Plus a 30 days old Incredible Bulk, almost no feed, no germination or transplanting, straight to soil and no direct light above. Hope you will see this same strain grower :) Peace.

Flush Week !! More yellowing and colder tempereatures... Feeding is 1 irrigation plain water, and the next with 2-3 ml Top Candy, giving the plant the Carbohydrates it needs, but no more nutrients this week. Eating way less water than before. Aprox 1 week until harvest, and the end of the next week probably is going to be sunny. So not much more to say fellas, sooo as usual, Take care and Good VIbes !!!

La cosecha de ambas plantas ha sido un éxito, 2 semillas en 1 maceta de 11L y con riegos no regulares de fertilizantes. El proceso de secado fue de 14 días. Salvo 2 bajeros que se hicieron 1 semana más tarde debido a la penetración de la luz. El proceso de curado continua, salvo un bajero qué se ha probado para notar ese intenso sabor terroso y olores dulces y qué llenan al abrir el bote de cristal. The harvest of both plants was a success, with two seeds in an 11L pot and irregular watering with fertilizer. The drying process took 14 days. Except for 2 lower ones that were made 1 week later due to light penetration. The curing process continues, except for a sample that has been tasted to note that intense earthy flavor and sweet smells that fill when the glass jar is opened.

La bambina anche se rimasta un po bassa per la mia potatura un po troppo aggressiva ma sta esplodendo in 40 cm di cime . Manca ancora alcune settimane alla raccolta speriamo che si compattino ed ingrassino il piu possibile.Per ora procede tutto ok sta bene e speriamo in un brl regalo dopo queste feste.
