Blütewoche 1 – Start | Crimson Clay Clone 🌸 Blütewoche eins beginnt – und der Wechsel ist klar sichtbar. Die Pflanze reagiert sofort auf den Photoperiodenwechsel: Die ersten Stretch-Bewegungen setzen ein, neue Spitzen drücken nach oben und die Struktur richtet sich langsam auf die kommende Blütenphase aus. Dieser Run basiert auf einer ursprünglich gereveggten Mutterpflanze, die aus einem feminisierten Seed von Wizard Trees selektiert wurde. Nachdem der Phänotyp im ersten Run identifiziert wurde, wurde die Pflanze erfolgreich revegged und anschließend als Mutter weitergeführt. Die Vegetationsphase dauerte etwa 2,5 Monate. Während dieser Zeit wurden mehrere neue Mutterpflanzen und Klone gesichert, um die Genetik langfristig zu stabilisieren und zukünftige Runs vorzubereiten. Erst nachdem die nächsten Backups gesichert waren, wurde die ursprüngliche reveggte Mutter schließlich in die Blüte geschickt. Man merkt dieser Pflanze die lange Vegetationsphase deutlich an: Kräftige Verzweigungen, stabile Hauptstämme und viel gespeicherte Energie im gesamten Aufbau. IPM & Pflanzenpflege Während der gesamten Vegetationsphase wurde konsequent nach dem Athena Plan gearbeitet. Stack und IPM wurden regelmäßig zwei bis drei Mal pro Woche angewendet. Aufgrund eines früheren Kontakts mit Spinnmilben wurde das Präventionsprogramm bewusst konsequent gefahren und die Dosierung zwischen minimaler und maximaler Empfehlung gehalten, um stabile Bedingungen zu gewährleisten. Die Pflanze hat sich dementsprechend sehr sichtbar entwickelt – dichtes Blattwerk, kräftige Struktur und eine stabile Gesamtvitalität. Natürlich wurde während der Vegetationsphase die Grow-Formel statt Bloom verwendet. Aktuelles Schema zum Start der Blüte • tägliche morgendliche Bewässerung mit der Standard-Nährlösung • Stack + IPM alle drei Tage • dieses Programm wird voraussichtlich bis maximal Ende Blütewoche drei weitergeführt Gerade während der Stretch-Phase ist das Ziel, die Pflanze weiterhin stabil zu halten, Stress zu minimieren und gleichzeitig ein konsequentes präventives Schädlingsmanagement aufrechtzuerhalten. Gesamtbild – Start Blüte Die Pflanze startet massiv in die Blüte. Kräftiges Blattgrün. Saubere Blattspannung. Stabile Struktur mit viel gespeicherter Energie aus der langen Veg-Phase. Die Grundlage ist gelegt. Jetzt beginnt die Phase, in der Stretch, Budsite-Bildung und genetischer Ausdruck der Crimson Clay Genetik sichtbar werden. Blütewoche 1 hat begonnen. EN – Flower Week 1 | Start Flower week one begins – and the transition is immediately visible. The plant reacts quickly to the photoperiod change: early stretch movement starts, new tops push upward, and the structure begins shifting toward full flowering mode. This run originates from an originally revegged mother plant, selected from a feminized Wizard Trees seed. After identifying the phenotype during the first run, the plant was successfully revegged and maintained as a mother to preserve the genetics. The vegetative phase lasted roughly 2.5 months. During this time several backup mothers and clones were taken, securing the genetic line and preparing for future runs. Only after those backups were established was the original revegged mother moved into the flowering cycle. The extended vegetative phase is clearly visible in the plant’s structure: strong branching, thick main stems and significant stored energy throughout the canopy. IPM & Plant Care Throughout the entire vegetative stage the plant followed the Athena schedule. Stack and IPM were applied two to three times per week. Because of a previous encounter with spider mites, the preventative program was maintained carefully, keeping the dosage between the recommended minimum and maximum range. The plant responded extremely well, developing dense foliage, strong structure and overall healthy vigor. Naturally, during vegetative growth the Grow formula was used instead of Bloom. Current schedule at the start of flower • daily morning irrigation with the standard nutrient solution • Stack + IPM every three days • this program will likely continue until the end of flower week three at most The goal during the stretch phase is to keep the plant stable, minimize stress and maintain consistent preventative pest management. Overall impression – Start of Flower The plant enters flowering with strong momentum. Healthy deep green color. Good leaf tension. Stable structural framework with energy built during the long veg phase. The foundation is set. Now the phase begins where stretch, bud site formation and the full genetic expression of the Crimson Clay phenotype start to appear. Flower week 1 has begun.

Well today the Purp kush has yellow leaves at the very bottom two 🍃 going to ask whether or not I can pin in down to either too much or too little of something… light water or nutes!! Unfortunately I’m not to sure yet about these three being I have a new light plus any light is new to me…lol and I didn’t use a soil that has any nutrients(Ocean forest)+(unknown medium) I was desperate so made the choice!!! Almost done with Veg going into flower!! I have my second purp kush plant is 2 weeks behind this plant.. But let’s see I’ve topped her and used lst and I’ve also used stakes to position the girl where she can receive the most light on her leaves!! Thoughts??

***Update*** have switched 2 of 3 to 5 gals will do the other one as soon as I get more coco..looking to veg maybe another 2 weeks then going to flip. Recently acquired LED light for my veg room so have 250w hps n 300w LED..ladies seem to be loving it.

She's doing great, recover well on each training. Struggling with tent rotation lol, so She's still in the veg tent, one week left in flower tent for current crop but I want change my lights on/off time so waiting on flower tent to be free.. Training has kept her relatively small though. She topped herself 2 times after I topped her once. Only wanted 6tops currently have 8.. no complaints just worried about maintaining image through flower.. Happy growing everyone

Day 9 above soil: Well they survived their 1st week above the soil and are looking fairly happy among the other girls in this Fast Buds fun grow. I have a clear front runner with #3 of the girls being the most developed and certainly the largest of the entire crop.. All factors bed sides medium are the same within the room and the environment is the best control I have had for any of my previous grows so there shouldn't be any "better position" or best of the nutes situation here either. Genetics obviously plays a big role but her speed is above what I expected and even faster than her sisters. They have had their 1st coco feed today and have been given a few waters throughout the week with the biosys tea. I have no real concerns on these triplets and see them growing nicely at the moment. The slight pale issue is not bad on these three so let's see what they can do when they get that organic gold into their stems.

Retiro las primeras hojas que salieron que se quedaban sin fuerza/luz abajo y se estaban pochando. Avanza lo que parecía sequedad, ahora tiene mas pinta de hongo (mildiu). Corto las 4 hojas afectadas. Amanece reforzada y sin rastro del hongo. Apliqué la solución para curarla a pesar de ver mejoría. Parece que crece bien pero sigue desarrollando una especie de manchas al final de las hojas grandes

End of week 7, no issues to report. She’s shown no deficiencies throughout, hopefully that continues. There is definitely a smell coming from the tent, but the strawberry banana is the over powering smell I’m getting, so it’s hard to tell how much odour she’s giving off. She has randomly grown one very large branch, in a matter of days the one branch has become the tallest in the tent, being an inch taller than s/b. The buds are starting to join, how much of an harvest I will get I genuinely have no clue. I’ve never grown autos, and she’s been so small throughout. This entire grow has been a learning curve, and I started with that mindset. I’ve had a few lessons, but I’m still ready to grow more autos once these ladies have finished. Or maybe sooner if I get time to set my new grow tent up. I hope you are all having a great grow week 🌱💚

Fastbuds Guava

nice strain with a rich terpene profile! sweet, gelato like, hard hitting smoke! sadly my phenos had no banana taste but still very nice

Flowering described earlier than I expected, more than 1 week after the vegetation phase would be bigger and more beautiful, has an effect with pleasant sensations and euphoric as the sativa dominant is accustomed to the aroma of lemon and citrus.

Endspurt!! TICHOME CHECK! Laut der Sorte sollten die Pflanzen nach etwa 60 Tagen mit der Blütephase durch sein – bei mir wäre dieser Zeitpunkt inzwischen erreicht. Ich habe mir allerdings die Trichome genauer angeschaut und würde den Pflanzen noch ungefähr eine Woche geben, da bisher noch nicht viele bernsteinfarbene Trichome zu sehen sind. Ansonsten gieße ich aktuell alle zwei Tage etwa 2 Liter Wasser. Mehr mache ich im Moment eigentlich nicht. 😊 Aktuelle Werte: VPD: 1.4 Humidity: 50% Temp: 33°C DLI: 50 1055 PAR

Der Haupttrieb hat sich immer seltsamer entwickelt, beim „untersuchen“ ist er mir dann abgebrochen 🤯😱 Aber zum Glück hat die Lady eh schon umgestellt und wächst seit ca. 5 Tagen wie wenn sie getoppt worden wäre. Dad wird wieder ein spannender Grow

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.”

Week 9.5 been really busy ,I added the light bar under the canopy to help with light penetration as well as a few rounds of defoliation ...they have been very thirsty recently so I've upped the amount of food .

Wow oh wow 🤩 to start I’ll say I’ve been very careful watching the feeds timing them almost perfectly! Also was a struggling week with humidity! Lucky I have my tricks to keep it down (no dehumidifier) 😊 I use air control 😉 (in the house) air control in the tent is perfect or next to perfect anyway! The aromas are continuously getting stronger and I am in for a treat! This time is my best time! It just shows! But every next time is my best time as I only get better at this!

Growing this gelato 41 bx feminized along with some autos so it’s gonna veg for a while. May take some cutting eventually. I havnt seen any grows on this yet.

I kept tucking those branches pretty hard and mad a decent canopy. Though I may have over done It and now my forest is pretty bush. Day 10 of flower, Im gonna defoliate and maybe lollipop a bit in the next few days and then add next layer of trellis to use as support. Started adding Canna Boost. Other than that, I fixed my calmag issue by switching to tap water, but Im not feeding nutrients at full strength since I have pretty hard tap water.

All is developing nicely, introduced cannazym and boost to the mix. Finally I have access to a better camera which you will see on the later pics. The cuttings I took seem to survive for now, with some outrooting their cubes already.
