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!

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 💚

After arguing in my head for w coupe of days I decided to take the scrog off and give the plants a thorough Tie down to try and beef them up as much as possible . It was a great success in my opinion ,within an week the plants have almost covered twice the area I once had , today I flipped them into 24hr darkness to try usher the flower phase .....12/12 from here baby 😂..

Still no nutrients! What a week! A lot of growth and the leaves get bigger and bigger. I broke the main stem on the top so topped that part because the infection will be bigger than the cut. Just put the leaves a little bit down to give space to the lower flowers.

Made tons of mistakes but next grow will be on point. I want to experiment with some variables that I saw and try new techniques at the same time apply old school techniques. Maybe have a good fusion of both. I wanna get into the 30% range

9/28 Week 11 Look good still bulking Nuets as is till flush when ready 9/30 Trics going well, she is ripening well got no complaints Still looking at next week for flush

Rapid plant growth in the last week.

30.7. - 06.08. Die Blüten werden fetter und riechen sehr lecker. Bis auf Wasser gießen und ein bisschen Ackerschachtelhalm Tee füttern musste ich nicht viel machen.

10/31: I fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, and silica. The taller one is gonna have a really nice fat cola, but the other one split off when I tied her down early on and she's a tri-spire now...a little paler than the big fattie too. 11/4: Fed with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, silica, and humic acid. The big one smells like a candy shop now....delightful!👍

Moin liebe Growgemeinschaft! Die dritte Woche beginnt. Leider musste ich aufgrund von einigen Umständen die kleinen auf Urlaub schicken 😉. In ca zwei Wochen sollten sie aber wieder Zuhause sein denn ist auch etwas mehr Platz für die kleinen da. Soweit entwickeln sie sich normal sind etwas gespargelt aber das ist noch in Ordnung für die Umstände. Gegossen werden sie mit angepasstem Wasser auf PH 6. Werde die Milkyways die Tage in 11l Schuhe stecken, sollte noch nicht so schlimm sein da sie ja noch nicht den topf voll gewurzelt haben.

This girl went beyond the height limit, stretched too far, hitting the top of the tent. I had to do a hst on two buds; I'm not a big fan of high-stress techniques and I've never needed to do this before, so I hope everything goes well and this girl doesn't become a hermaphrodite...🤞

Reduced the N nutes this week Everything looks good

Day 95 the two that were flushing got cut and the last five are still growing strong Day 97 4 more girls getting flushed only two left growing

Even in the version worked with main lining and sent into flowering a little later, Zamnesia's Tangerine Dream remains one of the fastest plants to flower and is surprising because it is the most solid flower of all, it is a boulder, stone, pure marble. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and beautifully to preserve its speed and the classic Christmas tree shape in height. Below in this diary we have the Main lining plant. Description // This plant had a fast flowering like its sister left to go without techniques. The phenotype is practically identical, solid flower, excellent resin production even in the great heat, structure of the super thick ones that drive me crazy. The smell is always that of mandarin while it is peeled perfectly in line with that declared I imagine the magnificent taste. Why? I tasted the hash that remained on my gloves and I was going crazy. For citrus lovers who are a bit tired of the forced lemon scent. Trichomes and maturation // We looked carefully under the 10x microscope (and 10x x 1.6) and noticed a good percentage of milky/clumpy trichomes, still many transparent but also many golden amber. It is mainly sativa, but only 60/40, so guys, if we want to maintain a more sativa effect, we need to harvest with a majority of cloudy/milky trichomes if we want a more indica effect, remembering that THC oxidizes too much, amber is the right color. I use it during the day and therefore I look for a more sativa effect when the plant is sativa. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron range of organic nutrients the whole time, all the recommended additives and the Pro Mix soil, unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage that best suits your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Nutrients are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html I love this strain, I love its mandarin scent and its hard, potent flowers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Zamnesia Short Description // Whether you're new to the fascinating world of cannabis cultivation or an expert, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds will give you great satisfaction both in growing and smoking. Carefully selected from G13, Afghan and Neville's A5 Haze clones, this strain boasts a slight sativa dominance of 60% and offers a relaxing yet uplifting effect. She’s also easy to grow and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growers. As we’ve just seen, Tangerine Dream is a pleasure to grow, but she’s even more enjoyable to smoke. With 25% THC and a pungent blend of exotic terpenes, Tangerine Dream smells incredible, tastes delicious, and delivers a balanced, long-lasting effect. When you open a jar full of these dense, resinous buds, you’ll be hit with a delicious citrus aroma reminiscent of freshly peeled mandarins and grapefruits. With hints of citrus, spice, and incense, each hit is a sensory delight reminiscent of sipping a refreshing juice on a sunny porch. Finally, as the effects kick in, you’ll be treated to a long-lasting, balanced, positive cerebral buzz, followed by a gentle physical relaxation. Perfect for weekends away or social gatherings. Order your Tangerine Dream seeds today and grow this invigorating hybrid.

So far so hairy... 🙏 Hello everyone, another week of flowering, you can already see how the white hair begins to grow beautifully and slowly turn into buds. I think I screwed up the description of which day it is, but when I finally find some time, I will try to verify it for you. All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-20. These girls are much slower to germinate and to start growing than the other 6 girls I started at the same time. One of the germinated seeds split in half, so I had to take a new seed and germinate it. It took 2 days. It was just a smal taproots after germination with this strain as opposed to my Fastbuds cbd. But I hope everything goes well from now and that they live up to their name, Fast Eddy. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08-21. New pics. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-22. Nr1 dident make it and died. Started germinate a new seed to get another Nr1. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-27. Nr 1 is in a small pot in humidity dome and i hope shes going to break the surface soon. Nr 2 is slow but doing fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr2 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls Nr2. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-31. 3 New pics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-01. New pics and a video of the grow room from today.

Week 14 of flower..She is very thirsty, drinking a gallon every 2 to 3 days. Watered and gave tea yesterday . I copied the details above from last week, didn't check this time. Getting very, very close. The purple is really starting to show now, very pretty! Lights out on Saturday March 26th , shooting for 72 this time.

7-16 This thing blows my mind. She smells like overripe pineapple. Frost coming in. Mad stacking. The leaves can be floppy but otherwise look healthy. It’s really hard to take a picture of how huge these colas are coming in. Never thought I could grow big buds like this with my low watt LEDs! 7-19 Fattening up and reeking more with some orange hairs coming in.
