First day of week 6! Looks like what transplant shock I was afraid of never materialized so that's a plus. I did however discover 2 things that have been bothering me. The first was random discoloration and spotting on some leaves, I had no idea that it was due to me spilling watering nutrients on the leaves, so I dug a small canal around the main stem of the plant. Now I just pour water evenly around the canal. The second was, why is my plant so small. Most other Blue Dreams I've seen seem to get really tall and stretch upwards. Mines just seems to get bushier. After more and more research, and probably one of the most obvious things to more experienced growers, is that it's not stretching so much because it doesn't need to. So at least my light is on point. I watered regularly today for the first time since transplant, but only used a quarter of a gallon.

~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Strawberry Gorilla Auto by FastBuds ~ Well guy's and gal's here we go again on another exciting Autoflower run together! This time will be different as I will be doing a 'Hydroponic' run utilizing the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System by GrowAce, who were kind enough to sponsor me for this run, so it should be interesting to see what results I get and have some fun along the way! •Let me first tell you about this 6 Pot Ebb/Flow system from GrowAce: "The AirCube system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system! With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone. Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous. Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market. Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!" For my medium and nutrients I decided to also switch things up from my regular Organic runs, going with Plagron Nutrients and Root Royale 70/30 Coco/Perlite. When filling the fabric pots with medium, I first added just under a gallon of horticulture perlite from Nor-Cal as a base layer to ensure good drainage and then filled the remainder with the Root Royale. •Now for one of my favorites, and award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Strawberry Gorilla Auto: I'll be running Strawberry Gorilla Autoflower which is a 55/45 Sativa/Indica Hybrid. "ATTENTION ALL! Due to our continuous efforts in evolving our breeding process, we are proud to confirm that our Strawberry Gorilla Auto has now become one of the most potent autoflowers in the world! Paving the way to our recent success where she ranked on top & brought home the gold at the very first American Autoflower Cup in California. Moreover, she proved that not only modern autoflowers can compete with photoperiods, but they can even beat them in their field. At the most recent edition of the Farmer’s Cup and competing against various photoperiodic strains, Strawberry Gorilla Auto took home the title of 'Highest Combined Terpenes' in the highly sought-after 'Home Grow Hash' category, with an impressive 97.163 mg/g total terpene content! Our exceptional genetic selection's crowning Strawberry Gorilla Auto strain is a spectacular hybrid known for producing yields of up to 600 gr/m2 in 70 days. This is a very manageable grow that can reach heights of up to 150 cm - due to its magnitude we recommend it for more experienced growers, as a huge plant may be a little overwhelming for first-timers. This show stopping sativa heavy hybrid is perfect as an all day smoke, producing a taste bud tingling, pungent berry and diesel terpene-rich flavor combo that leaves you with a grin from ear to ear, a perfect choice for those looking for a day-and-night autoflower!

Here we go! All three Tropicana Cookies are progressing through flower with the #3 still struggling. The #1 and #2 plants are both doing well, and are definitely two different phenotypes. The #1 plant is taller, bushier, with leaves that have long thin 'sativa' like fingers. While the #2 pheno is shorter, flowered faster, and has leaves that have more of a 'indica' structure to them. 12/15- I am continuing to drain/clean/refill the reservoir every 5 days and will be doing that first thing tomorrow after their last feed of the cycle. The #3 plant seems to be getting some better color in her lower sections, but still looks like crap up top. The #1 and #2 plants continue to impress me with their vigor and development. 12/17- Yesterday, I drained/cleaned/refilled the AirCube reservoir with 80L of well water, and then added the usual combination of Plagron nutrients ( Cocos 'A' & 'B', Green Sensation and Royal Rush) giving a total solution strength of 950ppm which I then ph'd to 5.6 @ 68℉. 12/19- Week 6 of flower's history and we're only 2-3 more weeks away from the finish for these lovely ladies from FastBuds! 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚

Well we are in week 7 and this girl is just now starting to fill in on her node sites. She is sucking the pH out of the water. I have been gradually lowering the ppm from around 1100... Right now the ppm is around 750 and the next top up I will be putting it down to 550. She is a 10 weeker so we have probably another 4 weeks to go but I'm around for it.

WEEK 3 FLOWERING = 28/4/2023 (DAY 15 FLO) ---> 4/5/2023 (DAY 21 FLO) [DAY 64 - 15° FLO] - 28/4/2023 ⚡ - TS1000: 40 cm distance / 100% dimmer = 150 watt; ⌛ - 12/12 light cycle; 🌡️ - 27° C - 50% RH during light / 23° C - 58% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.9 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 🍔 - For the third week of 12/12 I decided to decrease N a little and increase P and K: Micro 2ml/l, Grow 1.8 ml/l, Bloom 2 ml/l; 💧 - Solution in DWC is getting warmer: 22° C; 🥅 - I'm using the second SCROG net to even out the canopy. I bent the topmost branches and spread the branches further towards the sides of the box. The branches are still flexible enough to bend without issues; 🌱 - No marks on leaves, the plant has a nice green color. There are at least 30 flowering sites popping out of the second SCROG net. As already said, it's my first time with photoperiod and I don't know what to expect in terms of stretch, I'll try to manage it as best I can. ↕️ 43cm; 🔜 - Bought and mounted my new 3x3 tent. Next time I'll use that with my 2 TS1000! [DAY 65 - 16° FLO] - 29/4/2023 🌡️ - 27° C - 55% RH during light / 23° C - 55% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 💧 - Keeping an eye on the PH and EC values ​​I noticed that in this 50 liter configuration the EC is very stable while the PH slowly drops day after day. I manage it don't using PH down when I top up. In this way I bring the PH levels to 6.1 and need to correct it after 3 or 4 days; 🌱 - Look at the day 65, done? Now go to last week and look at day 60. In 5 days the plant has filled the box again, amazing! 🌸 - Pre-flowers are forming, between tomorrow and the day after the flowering sites will be full of white pistils. [DAY 66 - 17° FLO] - 30/4/2023 🌡️ - 26.5° C - 60% RH during light / 22.5° C - 57% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC; ✂️ - Removed about 20 big fan leaves; 🌸 - Flowering sites are filling up with pistils. [DAY 67 - 18° FLO] - 1/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 64% RH during light / 21.5° C - 60% RH during night; 📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 🌸 - Pistils everywhere! [DAY 68 - 19° FLO] - 2/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 0.4 in DWC; 💧 - Flush for 24 hours, tomorrow she'll get full flower blend; 🌱 - Plant got 6 cm in the last 48 hours. [DAY 69 - 20° FLO] - 3/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.4 in DWC; 🍔 - After 20 days, DWC change: 40 LT flower blend. Silic (1ml/l) + CalMag (1ml/l) + Micro (2ml/l) + Grow (1ml/l) + Bloom (3ml/l) + Fulvic (1ml/l) + Atazyme (3ml/l). Added about 100ml Ph down Flower by Canna, to be honest I don't think it's very effective, I had to use a lot to lower the PH and I hope it's stable. Only plus side: is just phosphoric acid and is very useful in this phase! 💧 - Not a single dead root at the bottom of the DWC, I hope the old roots are at least rotting away. On the bright side, they're not causing any problems; 🌱 - Plant looks pretty fine, perhaps there is some slight light burn. I'll check tomorrow and, if necessary, raise the lamp by a few centimetres. The branches are still quite flexible but I have no more space to bend them 😅 [DAY 70 - 21° FLO] - 4/5/2023 🌡️ - 27° C - 60% RH during light / 22° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.4 in DWC; 🌱 - Week 3 flowering is done. Big change this week! I don't know if I'm talking bullsh*t, but since the switch I have noticed an important change in the leaves, they seem much thinner and longer, typical of Sativa dominant plants, and I like it!

Dia de la cosecha (63) para Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto Una mezcla de emociones entre la alegría de cosechar estos grandes cogollos y la "tristeza" de que ya no formará parte de mi jardín Una increíble pieza genética desarrollada por @fastbuds_official , ejemplo de como el cutting-edge development de las Autoflower modernas nos puede dar una planta lista para ser cosechada en menos de 60 días (recogida a 63 días por el gusto personal de los tricomas más ámbar) con un perfil terpénico impresionante. Ella ha desarrollado cogollos duros como piedras y con un olor que se mueve entre bol de frutas, cerezas en su punto justo de maduración y un toque de leche cremosa. Una cepa que todo el mundo debería cultivar alguna vez en su vida, y que sigue elevando a @fastbuds_official al olimpo de los breeders modernos de autoflorecientes. Gracias por esta oportunidad de cultivarla FastBuds! 💦Nutrients by Aptus Holland - www.aptus-holland.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

🌿 week 7 Update: Frost & Fire! ❄️🔥 We are officially moving into the "sweet spot" of the flowering phase! The tent is starting to smell incredible, and the girls are putting in some serious work. If you look closely at those bud sites, the trichome production is kicking into high gear, giving everything that beautiful, frosty shimmer we’ve been waiting for. The Feeding Strategy This week, I’m leaning heavily into the bloom boosters to ensure these colas have everything they need to swell up. Here is the current cocktail: Bio-Bloom (BioBizz): 2 ml/L – Keeping those base flowering nutrients steady. Top-Max (BioBizz): 1 ml/L – Stimulating cell division and increasing sugar production. PK 13-14 (Plagron): 2 ml/L – The "heavy hitter" for this stage to add some serious density. 📈 Progress Report The Stretch: It looks like the vertical stretch has finally stabilized, and the plants are now focusing 100% of their energy on bud development. Canopy Check: I’ve been performing some light defoliation to make sure light is reaching the lower bud sites. Airflow is key right now to prevent any moisture buildup in those thickening clusters. Flower Development: The pistils are still mostly white and reaching out, meaning we still have plenty of swelling left to do. Grower’s Note: Keep an eye on the leaf tips! With the addition of the PK 13-14, I'm watching closely for any signs of nutrient burn, but so far, the girls are drinking it up like champs. 📸 What’s Next? The plan for the coming days is to maintain a steady environment and keep the pH dialed in. I’ll be watching the buds get thicker and stickier by the hour.

• I've added 3 X 4mL of MGB. My babe starts her day 21 with 495 PPM solution on. PH reads as 5.6 ( August 23 ) • I've added 16 mL Voodoo Juice. Total concentration is 1.5 mL/L (August 23) • I've added 3 X 10 mL of MGB. She will start the day with 680 PPM (August 24) pH reads as 5.5 • I've added 3 X 3 mL of MGB. She will start the day with 710 PPM (August 30) pH reads as 5.5 I've topped off 2 liters so far. and adjusted the pH twice.

Things are taking shape. VPD in check, girls are just praying and loving their home. A constant 78 with lights on and a small drop at night. Top feeding twice daily for 90 seconds per feed. This is enough time for the hempy hole to overflow. These girls were topped a few days ago and recovering nicely. A few weeks of veg and this room is going in to flower! And thats when the fun begins Follow my son Budxless on his first grow

Aug 1: strong start to the week- it’s been hot and sunny lately and this will be our third and final day at 30 C. Lemon Cream Kush looks great and is flowering now after two full weeks of force flowering (12h of darkness). Aug 4: added another loose Scrog net layer to hold it together but to also allow separation of the colas to expose them to sunlight. Aug 5: plants in this wagon are getting too big to move easily into garage. Will stop forcing and switch back to 15.5 h of daylight in yard. Still using far red light at dusk as a bloom booster.
