they are hanging in there. Middle of week 13 now. Heat is still a complicating factor. Up to 37 °C every day and the tent is in a room under the roof. 30° in the tent during the day.
Here is Black Mango #3. I am far behind her nutrient requirements and have started careful fertilisation a bit too late after I felt that a very small boost caused #2 to throw some bananas. Luckily only for a very short period and it has completely stopped doing so now. So now #3 is yellowing her lower leafs faster than I can catch up.
2 Black Mango advancing and filling in. 95 days after first pistils
32 degrees C in the tent during the day for the last weeks. Relief coming in a few days. #3 has yellowing leafs. I'm not sure if I should feed her more at this stage or if it is normal ageing.
Wow! Is incredible how they developed in the last 8 days! I'm very proud of you. Maybe you can (very carefully like a net surgery) remove some more of those mono leaves that they was caused by the Reveg, but at this point I don't feel I can interfer with the process as you certainly can feel what is better to do there. Feeding at this stage? Maybe you give them a diluted smoothie of organic bananas and coconut water (fermented of course)
In particular coconut water is a powerful natural plant growth regulator (PGR) and bio-stimulant packed with phytohormones like cytokinins (such as zeatin), auxins (such as IAA), and gibberellins that drive cell division, shoot growth, and root development.
Many organic and "living soil" growers use it as a secret weapon during the flowering stage.
Unlike synthetic PGRs—which can ruin flower quality, eliminate aromas, and create health hazards—coconut water is a 100% safe, natural bio-stimulant that boosts yields while enhancing terpene and trichome production.
Cytokinins Trigger Cell Division: The natural zeatin (cytokinin) in coconut water signals the plant to aggressively divide cells. When applied during early-to-mid bloom, it accelerates the expansion of floral clusters, leading to bulkier, multi-faceted bud sites.
Potassium Powerhouse: Cannabis demands massive amounts of potassium (K) during peak flowering to transport sugars and build density. Coconut water is naturally rich in clean, highly bioavailable potassium.
Natural Chelated Micronutrients: It contains a broad spectrum of minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. The amino acids act as natural chelators, helping the plant instantly absorb vital micronutrients like calcium and magnesium.
Microbe Energy: The natural sugars (glucose and fructose) feed the beneficial microbes in your soil. These microbes ramp up activity, breaking down organic matter and delivering an influx of nutrients right when the flowers need them most.
To safely stack flower mass without overfeeding, follow this blueprint:
The Dose: Mix 15ml of raw coconut water per 1 Liter of water (approx. 1 tablespoon per Liter, or 3-4 tablespoons per gallon).
The Timing: Use this solution once a week starting from the Transition Phase (the first week you switch to a 12/12 light cycle) through Week 5 or 6 of flowering.
When to Stop: Stop using coconut water roughly 2 weeks before harvest.
Also
Use RAW, Unsweetened Water: Use fresh coconuts or 100% pure, organic, pasteurization-free coconut water. Never use brands with added sugars, preservatives, or artificial flavorings.
Dilute Very well: Because coconut water contains natural sugars, using it straight or over-concentrated will attract ants, cause root-zone mold, or lock out nutrients. Stick strictly to the 15ml/L ratio.
Watch Your pH: Coconut water is naturally acidic and can lower the pH of your water. Always check and adjust your final mix to 6.2–6.5 for soil or 5.8–6.0 for coco/hydro before feeding.
