Fed/watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, every 3 days. (when the growing medium becomes 95% dry) Gave her a light selective de-leafing, to open up the inner bud-sites to more light. The timelapse shows me why I won't be transplanting like this again. (Slow growth/lost time from constricted root mass)

I've seen a visible decrease in live spider mites. Spraying Captain Jack's Deadbug every 3rd day. 2 treatments so far. I took a sample bud from the very center of the plant to examine with my loupe (still need to order a microscope). From what I can tell, most of the trichomes are cloudy. Drying the sample in a brown paper bag. I still don't know if my leaves are turning yellow due to light stress, nutrient deficiency, or because the plant is close to being finished. I've clipped a bunch of leaves off both from yellowing and because there were a bunch of visible spider mite eggs underneath. There's been a definite decrease in spider mites after 3 treatments, but they're not totally eliminated yet.

The BCM feminised has undergone her last major defoliation. She completely stopped growing as the leaves are continuing to fade and the stem is showing signs of decay. The bracts are swelling up also more pistols are turning a orange red, more try chromes developing as the BCM puts most of it’s energy into flower bud formation her weight has increased. She will receive water and molasses for the final two weeks.

Apple Fritter is growing good. I applied frest lst, and a defoliation. She is growing in a 5 gallon New Level Hydro bucket. Under a Spider Farmer SE5000 at 60 percent power right now. Has a nice root mass, and am looking forward to making a clone if space provides it in future.

10/22: wow… what a mess. I should have defoliated last week. They were incredibly overgrown and now i had to stress the hell out of them to get the tent cleared up for light. Hopefully the stress does not cause any issues. As if the defoliation was bot enough stress on them, my light height has reached its top, and PL1 had two colas starting that were already pressed into the light. And so i removed their tops a node or two down. Im sure this was as good as hitting the plant in the face with a brick. Hope she recovers! If youve been following along, you know i planted these with hopes for the extremely purple pheno. And i believe that if i had it, she would have started showing her colors by now. Looking forward to seeing what these turn into and if they make it without any issues after i kicked them around a bit.

I still have to go thru all the photos but wanted to get the video up for all of them first. If your interested in the pics come back at the end of today and they will be up it just takes a while. Noticing more seeds poppin thru, I hope it's from the moonshine cookies pollen cuz the female turned out bomb and the male wasnt too bad either so they might be decent seeds. Started the flush on the citradellic and the other ones might have got their last feed yesterday. Should be finishing up next week and the week after. These are so frosty but seeded, looking.like they could be chopped next week so I'll start the flush. Need a break from uploads I'll get the citradellic and mandarin done soon

pre-flowering they still seem very loaded with nutrients in fact one has burnt tips so I am watering abundantly with only demineralized water when they drain they start to feed them. I removed all the supports, we wait for the flowers 😂

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.

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 💚

Que pasa familia, volvemos de #GMM20 , y la verdad que entre buenos humos fue un día agradable, ya actualizó esta cepa , crazy cookies de zambezaseeds ya están a punto para cortar, una a tirado al final plátanos y la verdad que no estoy tan contento aun viendo el tamaño. Ph controlado hasta el final, la temperatura al final algo alta pero sin problemas, Humedad correcta. Así que hasta aquí es todo , que paseis un buen finde fumetillas.

Purple Lemonade , Gelato 1&2, LAK 2&3 are all just about done theyll be coming down over the weekend or early next week. T26, Pineapple Express, Mexican Airlines, LAK 1, 6 Shooter Blue Dreamatic and Cream Cookies are all on the flush but will need a few more before chop. This tent reeks up the whole block it's pretty intense skunk in the driveway right now. There will be one more update I'm guessing for most of these before the harvest update. This was the most successful autoflower crop I've had in a long time I think theres some really good quality buds on some of these. I'll put the video up now and as I go thru the pics theyll be uploaded so if your interested come back tmm for the pics. These reek of Lemon skunk all of them. 1 is gunna be a little while longer but the 2nd 2 should come down in the next few days.

im not training these at all im strictly watching them grow and studying how they are naturally. messing with the lights a little, and got some light burn on both plants cause the lights were wayy to close. but all that being said im recalibrated with the lights, added in the blurple light just because i wanted more specrtum. growth has been explosive. i incorporated fish shit into every feeding and watering this week and i love it so far.

Day 52 today Been a rough week , as was extremely hot 30+ in the tent for two days and the big SNS really dried out. I have given it some BAC organic PK boost to help it recover. The other SNS was fine as this did not dry out as much and the blackberry gum, was also fine. This has grown into a decent size plant resin has been developing nicely. The two sns smell quite different one sweet grape, the taller one and one really sour the short one. Cheesy is 10 days behind and is an odd shape. At the first internode site , it put one stem out on one side and two stem out directly opposite. I am happy enough the big greedy sns which is the ripest will get some extra iguana juice and another dose of pk booster this week.
