1st day 5th week of veg.......Bushing out well still got a little space to fill before allowing them to shoot up only a week or 2 away from flipping the reefereshers plant to flower as it will double to triple the length in the flower phase ... had issue with air flow as was only using a circulation fan . So I have installed a carbon filter and black orchid extractor fan and a temperature n humidity sensor so hopefully that helps ..... The 2 autos are coming along great in the tent atleast 3/4 branches off both of them .I've used lst on both of them tieing the tops down and allowing more light penetration to the lower canopy .... The autos are 1x critical x northern lights auto 1x cash crop auto (northern lights x big bud)

We’re officially in the first week of flowering, and the stretch has already started! 🌿 The plant without LST has shot up quickly, growing tall and strong. However, I noticed a few rusty spots on the leaves, which might be a calcium or magnesium deficiency. To help, I’ve slightly increased the CalMag and Bloom nutrients for that plant. 🌱 Other than that, everything seems to be going well, and I’m happy with the overall progress. It’s exciting to see them enter this new phase, and I can’t wait to see how the buds begin to form! 😁✨

~ 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!

I've got the AirCube system dialed in now and the plants have responded beautifully! I've upped the nutrients to 650ppm's and am running the PH at 6.0-6.2 @ 74℉. Tent temperatures are running 73/80℉ during lights off/on, RH is being maintained @ 65%, and co2 levels at 1150-1300ppm's. I upped the output of the HLG 650R to 65% via a TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller, and have it hung 28" above the plants. 10/20- Yesterday, I drained and cleaned the reservoir and 'brain bucket', then refilled the system with 60L of well water to which added the following: 100ml each of Plagron Cocos 'A' & 'B', 30ml of Plagron Power Roots and 45ml of Botanicare CalMag+, and 3 tbsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss amino acids for a final level of 650ppm's. I then checked the ph and adjusted to 6.0 @ 74℉. I have also set the GrowAce AirCube system to 'Auto' mode and have it set for three 15min feedings a day, six hours apart, beginning two hours after 'lights on'. 10/22- All three Strawberry Gorilla's are looking really good now with great color and vigor. They all have their forth leaf set emerging now and their node spacing is fairly tight currently. With the girls doing well, I'm primarily concentrating on maintaining a consistent environment in the 4x4, paying close attention to temperature, RH, co2 levels and VPD. The three times a day feeding schedule with Plagron nutrients ( Cocos A & B, Power Roots) continues @ 650ppm. I am also checking the reservoir before each to monitor and adjust the PH and nutrients when needed. I have noticed that after each feed the reservoir PH climbs 0.9of a point to 7.0, so I have been adding 30ml of Safer Grow PH Down which brings the PH down to 6.1. 10/24- Today I drained, cleaned and flushed the AirCube reservoir and 'brain bucket', then filled it with 70L of 74℉ well water. After filling I added the Plagron nutrients separately and also began adding in Plagron Royal Rush. The feedings of Plagron nutrients continue three times daily, and I'm monitoring the reservoir before each, adjusting the nutrient level to 650-700ppm @ 5.9-6.2 ph. The tent environment has remained dialed in with the VPD averaging 1.40kpa over the last seven days. The Strawberry Gorilla's are responding well to the feeding schedule, and are also tolerating the increased light output which I now have set to 80% along with setting the co2 levels to 1100-1400ppm. There goes another week for these beauties and the upcoming weeks promise to be exciting as these girls really take off! See you there!😎❤️ 💚 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!💚

A day late on the diary update as I was out playing golf in paradise yesterday. Caught a 1 in 100 weather day in Half Moon Bay, CA... sunny 70 degrees and less than 10 mph wind. Almost never happens. Normally the choices are heavy fog or high wind, one or the other. Anyway... cannabis... this Cream & Cheese baby is starting to show signs she's gonna need some structural support going forward. A couple of the lower branches are starting to roll over on themselves due to their weight (relative to their structural capacity). She's spread herself out so wide and her branches are rather slender. A large number of leaves on this girl are turning yellow, compared to the other girls on the patio. Normally I just yank off fan leaves as soon as they turn completely yellow. She's 58" tall now and that's probably about it. The video I threw in here is actually a couple weeks old because it took me that long to put together. Video isn't really my thing.

So we have one in week three of flower and the other is currently still in veg do to vegetables and other #AUTOs started for friends. It’s going to be interesting to say the least having that hydro in flower will be insane, almost need to remove half in clones just to be able to maintain. From what I’ve from her sister the stretch is easily manageable. Cheers to good Budz & Buds

The overdrive worked great. We are grabbing all the weight and letting her fill in her final race to the finish. Waiting for the perfect time to harvest. She has Nice tight and frosty buds. Tricomes are turning to a milky haze. The weight of the multiple colas is causing a little bit of a issue. I've staked a few of the larger plants. Have a flush scheduled for tomorrow. Time to clean out the soil and clear up any residual nutrients.Its her final chance to pack on a little more weight and at the perfect time we will wrap it up.Great growing this far. Thanks for all the comments. Can't wait stoked to finishing up and tasting the fruit of our labor.

Temps at 78-84 f, humidity inside dome around 68-76 depending on temps. Direct planting into coco jiffy plugs, charged with a light seaweed extract. Took 2 days exactly for seed to pop out of plugs. Another day to remove its shell, will start counting as day 1 from here on out. Check out my other diaries for the other strains. 1 gelat.og auto (seedsman) and 2 extreme impact auto (heavyweight seeds)

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... I think whe will flower longer I have got that feeling. Nice strain growing properly. Good job Zamnesia.... Strech should end soon, however she did not strech that much due to training... Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix and ratio above. Let's go ;)

Semana 7 desde su germinado, nacio en indoor y venia hermosa pero ya no quedaba lugar, asiq temprada de exterior activada. La saque muy bruzcamente un dia de viento y frio y la transplante, la pobre sufrio exceso de nutrientes tambien. Pero ya va tomando fuerza despues de un buen lavado con aguita ya vienen hojas nuevas sanas asiq hoy ya le puse clips lst

Both plants have almost stopped growing in heigth now and are in full flowering mode now. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) Plant #1 is 15 cm shorter than plant #2, but a little bushier. Both have grown very well and are strong and healthy. They get more and more flower clusters now and start to fill up all branches. Trichomes start to appear all over...the plants start to get sticky and develop a weak sweet aroma now. Its time to take off the biggest fan leaves now for defoliation, I took a round of pics before and after.

День 29. Чихать хотела растишка на топпинг, она все равно пытается разорвать бокс и горшок. Сегодня поливать не буду, скорее завтра. Субстрат пока сырой, пусть корни ищут влагу и растут. Чувствую через дней 10 буду делать SCROG и к концу 6-ой недели переводить на цвет. Имеем 4 этажа, 8 веток, что в принципе достаточно. Растет так быстро, что мелкие перья у семилистников не успевают развернуться. День 30. Кормление также по плану, 800/5.6. Обрезал 4 лапуха, так как после топинга потянулись вверх нижние этажи, но лопухи мешают и загораживают от света. Скоро начну пригибать ветки. Всего планируется 8 колл - по 2 с каждого этажа. Еще отодвинул от света подальше, горшки стояли на подставке. Как и хотел сделал растишку коренастой, а вот будущие коллы надо вытянуть, чтобы удобно было развести под сеткой. День 31. Уже даже не смотрю на PH и PPM, потому что рука набилась опять на этот гров. Замешивал AD phPerfect Coco по 2.5мл на 2 литра. Чуток снижаю PH/PPM чтобы не было засола. На дренаж не смотрел. Лень. По фото и так видно, как после топпинга даже рванули те листья, которые даже и не собирались расти. Стрельнул третий этаж. Чую нужно начинать загибать. Видимо, уже завтра. День 32. Не смотря на топпинг и дефолиацию растишка за 3 дня даже не то чтобы стрессанула, а увеличилась в объеме раза в 3 точно. При чем складывается впечатление, что она растет ночью, а не днем. Полив новым компотом 5.5/550, выход 5.9/530. Растиха начинает голодать, точнее аппетитно кушает. Завтра буду заряжать под 800. Центральный ствол уже толщиной примерно 5мм. По краям горшка уже видно куча повылезавших корней. Надо будет еще раз покормить микоризой. Пригнул два верхних этажа. Даже не знаю, буду ли делать SCROG или нет. 8 плотных веток мне хватит за глаза на пол года с одного куста, а у меня их два разных сортов. Наверное дождусь пока нижние этажи сравняются с верхними, переведу на цвет в конце 6-ой недели и посмотрим, нужен ли скрог или нет. Уж очень кусты низкие получились в этот раз. День 33. Натянул сетку и будем выравнивать этажи. Как все подрастут и разойдутся по углам - буду переводить на цвет. Полив GHE, PPM/PH - 740/5.5, выход 638/6.3. Говорит что мало жратвы и надо еще. Завтра подниму до 1000 PPM. Надо PH поднять до 6.8 в дренаж. День 34. Обнаружил что серьезно облажался с самого начала грова... Новый TDS метр по умолчанию показывает в μs, а мне надо в PPM. Коэфициент кондуктомера 0.5, то есть у меня компот в два раза меньше насыщенности, чем нужно. То то у меня вечно PPM падает, а PH растет и понять не могу почему так активно жрет, но растет не так как нужно. Судя по моему же дневнику и фоткам, активно росло именно тогда, когда проливал 800-1000μs (400-500 PPM). Пролил теперь уже нормальным компотом Coco Grow A+B PPM/PH 740/5.7, выход с дренажа 483/6.3. Жесть какой низкий PPM. Надо будет понаблюдать.
