~ 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 am continuing the feedings of Plagron nutrients three times daily, and I'm monitoring the reservoir before each, adjusting the nutrient level to 650-700ppm @ 5.9-6.2 ph. The solution temperature is maintaining a steady 73-75℉. As a side note; as the weather gets colder I may install a heat mat, controlled by a thermostat, under the reservoir to ensure proper temp's in it. 10/27- Our weather has warmed up the past couple of days. Because of this I've had to lower the light output to 55% in order to keep the tent temp's below 82℉. The Strawberry Gorilla's are showing zero sign of heat stress so I'm not terribly concerned, especially as the weather will be dramatically cooling off in a day or two. I upped the nutrient ppm level to 800 with the addition of Plagron's Royal Rush 8-0-0 which will continue in their feeding through flower. I'll also be adding Plagron Green Sensation in another 7-10 days which will also continue through flowering. I'm continuing to tuck shade leaves daily on all three girls, and have been gently bending down their side branches as well. 10/29- Today I adjusted the feeding schedule for the Strawberry Gorilla's to six feeds a day. The first feed begins two hours after 'lights on', then every three hours until 'lights off' which the girls should enjoy! I am currently keeping the nutrient level to 800ppm, and have begun to introduce Plagron's Green Sensation @ 2ml/g 10/31- 👻 HAPPY HALLOWEED! 🎃 💚 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!💚

Finally moving the gorilla cookie to the flowering room. Feels like work with this sore rib, but glad to have the transplant done and pray I wake up with it still alive lol. White LSD soon to follow and complete the 4-bucket DWC system…

Prima settimana di fiori

The mites didn’t get this plant quite as bad . I cant wait to cut them down and clean this room out and start fresh!

Growing well.

Merry Christmas growers!!! Been a very good week, had plenty of time with the ladies. Nothing major to report other than these two LED's aren't enough for this size tent I don't think. Will definitely be upgrading for the next grow! Thursday - fed roughly 1.5L with nutrients. Friday - did nothing. Saturday - fed roughly 1.5L with nutrients. Sunday - did nothing. Monday - fed roughly 1.5L with nutrients. Tuesday - did nothing.

Great progress. Accidentally broke one of the lowest branches trying to do lst so I won't be trying that again. My methods are going to be defoliation until preflower which is coming up soon/already started, and then a small Supercrop. The defoliation has triggered some increased speed in growth I've noticed. I still feel like it's short though

Cold cold week, with intermitent rain, and the last feedings, The AK is yellowing and rushing to flower, but, there are still white hairs, and the fattening is not complete, so im flushing until the end (1-2 weeks) Im looking for a narcotic effect so im letting her more time, because no bugs around, the THC layer has increased this week and you can smell the therpenes a little more, really musky-fruty with hints of mango It has reained on the plant last 3 weeks intermitently, but as the buds are not so compact as a Skunk, and the thc layer covering the flowers i find it can survive more, without problems Never expected to have an Indica the 10th of November but, im happy with that fact, she started to grow 7th of August soo a late Afghan Kush ^^ The colours are incredible, thanks Nature and Sedsman for this gift !! One of the most beautiful plants i have ever seen in person.. Good VIbez GD !!!! Thanks for checking, and bros, remember, roll one for the Cold days :D

This girl is on cruise control in her autopot

In a week, I give compost tea, and fermented plant juice once each ^^ Hope you guys have a wonderful day today ^^v *** Please Like, comment & share *** Highly appreciated -----/-----<@

The girls look to be finishing the vegetative growth phase this week and are starting to switch full steam ahead into flower production ☺️☺️ Trichomes are also starting to form now and the smell is getting slightly stronger each day. Not much to be done this week just some defoliation and training to help open up the canopy’s. Peace ✌️

Week 9, 3-9 October 2025 3-9 Oct - Observed and let the plant grow. Buds continue to develop and swell as it grows toward maturity. The smell continues to intensify as well. A lot of trichomes have developed and the hairs are just starting to turn brown. Because of the plants smaller size, I don’t have to do a weekly reservoir change, it’s more like every 10 days. She just doesn’t consume as much as a larger plant would. - 2 Oct changed nutrient solution - 2 Oct updated feeding schedule - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 2.1 at 72 degrees F - Light power at 75%, DLI 45 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Runtz auto is found well. She is shifting gears into flowering and showing her first pistils. She is looking good and she should start stretching very soon. Thank you Plagron, Medic Grow, and Zamnesia. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Fungus gnats blew up, so I had to surround the whole place with traps. Looks like I’ve thinned the population out for now, but I’ll be picking those little bastards out of the buds later — they stick like they’re welded on ) Runoff pH is way too high, so I decided to bring it down by feeding with a lower pH solution. Temporarily running 5.2 instead of 5.8. What can I say… this grow keeps throwing more and more experience at me, barely keeping up with processing it all. The more you learn, the more opens up)) Hope this won’t go on forever and the perfect grow is somewhere around the corner ) The smell has started to shift — moving more and more into gas and chem territory. I’m getting more convinced that all these berry/fruity strains should be chopped around the end of week 6, day 42–45, but this time I’m gonna hold her for about 9 weeks and see what’s left. The color has really started turning purple now, with the top buds darkening first. From next week I’ll start bringing her into autumn mode — I think by harvest she’ll be almost fully purple.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Tropicana Cookies Fast Flowering, de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, las flores son bien compactas , y van repletas de resina, tienen tonos rosados por dentro muy bonitos, y tiene un aroma súper dulce aunque engañar engaña porque saber sabe más tropical y cítrica. Es muy sencilla de cultivar, es de ciclo bastante corto aunque también si le dais una semana más no pasa nada agradecer se agradece al final.

Last week of life, she is yellowing the leaves rippening faster than the week before, and Bad weather is here, during the middle of this week, so it rained hard dirung a couple of days, high RH and even more bugs are trying to eat the plant.... Aphids, flies, ants... They attract each other so what a jungle hahaha Im giving the plant a H202 bath to get rid of that bugs, they are really annoying hahaha damn fuckers, but they know whats a good therpene profile hahaha, really, if you could smell this plant would intstantly know that is a piece of cake for the bugs :) Hairs are like 90-100% orange Buds are covered by a nice layer of resin and THC ^^ Im happy, as my second auto, ended like an homogeneous bush, all buds at the same level, but now i think i should had removed more lower leaves to increase airflow... Take care boyzzz and girlzzz, and remember, smoke at least one joint a day if its possible hahaha :D

Im Laufe der Blüte hatten wir bei Nr.1 schon die kleineren Buds von unten entfernt (ungefähr 3/5 der Pflanze), damit die letzte Kraft hier auch wirklich nur in die Mainbuds geht. Bei Pheno Nr.2 welcher noch ein paar Tage stehen bleiben durfte haben wir es nicht gemacht um einen Vergleich zu haben, wie es sich auf die Mainbuds auswirkt. Jedoch wird der Vergleich etwas hinken, da Pheno1 Foxtails gebildet hat und somit eine komplett andere Blütenstruktur aufweist als Pheno 2. Tag 73 und die erste der beiden Blumen wurde geköpft. Ein paar Tage hätte man sie aber noch stehen lassen können. Unser Wunschziel welches bei 5-10 % Bernsteinfarben liegt werden wir aber erreichen, da die Trichome noch etwas nachreifen. Im Laufe der Blüte hatten wir bei ihr schon die kleineren Buds von unten entfernt, damit die letzte Kraft hier auch wirklich nur in die Mainbuds geht. Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Tag 75 Erntetag von Blume Nr2. Farben und Geruch von diesem Pheno gefallen uns extrem gut. Wir nehmen außerdem diesem Run jedenfalls mit, dass kräftiges lollipoppen zu ordentlichen Mainbuds führt. Da wir Pheno Nr 2 aufgrund von Platzmangel im Canatrol, an der Luft aufhängen müssen bleibt abzuwarten in wie weit der Ertrag sich hier unterscheidet, da wir ganze Äste und nicht nur "Mainbuds" geernetet und gewogen haben.
