~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Tropicana Cookies 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 the outstanding, award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Tropicana Cookies Auto: I'll be running Tropicana Cookies Autoflower which is a 60/40 Indica/Sativa Hybrid. "Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500 gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110 cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. You can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrus and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more."* *References: GrowAce.com, 2fast4buds.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: • AC Infinity 4x4 tent •AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Exhaust Fan w/ Controller 67 •HLG 650R w/UVA Bar *** For some reason GD does NOT have a listing for the USA version of the 650R so I selected the closest match to it. •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •DL Wholesale Root Royale Coco Lite 70/30 coco/perlite •TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller for light •AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller fed by a 50# tank •16" Hurricane oscillating fan and 8" floor fan •Tent cooling via filtered outside air delivered by AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan •BlueLab instruments: PH Pen and Truncheon Nutrient Meter ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 11/26- My oh my! Week 5 of flower's here and these ladies are looking sexy as hell!🔥🤪 11/28- All three Tropicana Cookies are getting to the point that it's time to begin flushing them. My dilemma is that, with six pots in the closed loop system and three of them occupied by a different strain that is 10+ days behind the Tropicana Cookies, I can't run straight water through the system to flush without negatively affecting the other strain that is right in the middle of flower. My solution that I've come up with is to pull the Tropicana Cookies from the AirCubes and put them on drip trays so that I can flush them without affecting the flowering of the three plants from the other strain. *Note to self: When starting a run with this system, MAKE SURE ALL six plants break ground together! Also growing a single strain would be way better than mixing strains with this system as you can only give one strength of nutrients regardless of what each particular plant needs for optimum growth. 11/30- Today was the LAST day that these ladies have to sit in the AirCubes. This evening, right after 'lights on', I pulled all three plants from the AirCubes and placed them on plastic drip trays that hold a little over 2L. When I pulled them the first thing I noticed (besides the odor) was the amount of roots that were growing outside of the fabric pot (I thought they were supposed to 'air prune' the roots) and the copious brown slime coating the inside of the bucket and the bottom of the fabric pot...smh. So, from here on out I'll be manually flushing all three with 2L each of straight well water that has a 150ppm base, to which I add 1/64th teaspoon of NPK Yucca Extract, then I ph it to 6.0 @ 68℉. After flushing, I wait around 15min, then I use a wet vac to remove the runoff from the drip tray. 12/2- I'm continuing to flush all three at an interval of 3 times daily with 2L of water and they all are doing fantastic! The #3 is starting to fade, and the pistils on both the #1 and #2 are turning color from snow white to a darker tan or red, and I anticipate their fade to begin sometime soon. Well Fam, there's five weeks of flower on the books and these ladies are just about ready to finish up! See you next week for what could be the finish for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! 😎🙏💖 💚 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!💚

This strain is performing like crazy. My god, she just wants to go and go and go. See the difference with the previous week, it's going crazy in this tent. I had some space to fill because one of her roommates turned out male. More about this in my Xtra Kush diary. But fill up they did, I turned her around, for the change of scenery, but also to let the longer side branches fill up the space in the scrog. And did she. With all these bud sites, the rapid growth of flowers, this strain is having a good time. Very happy with how my soil recipe is performing (see the yellow image in earlier pages), none of the crazy stories of going hermie when stressed. Just some T. L. C. and this strain outperforms anything I have recently grown. But this SP-3000 is just a beast of a light and we owe much of this success to @MarsHydroLED, who was so kind to let us try their light. Check www.mars-hydro.com for the Black Friday deals! What I did to prevent this strain from going hermie: - No defoliation. Will start a little after the third week of flowering. - Little extra flower feed in the waterings, no amendments yet, I have no yellowing at all. - As little stress as possible - Reassuring them in their gender, be proud of your female qualities, no need to go all masculine on us. See you next week, thanks for checking in again!!

She survived a couple of very warm days 🔥(32°C). She also started to get burned tips on the bigger fan leaves and the lower leaves started to die so I used some more nutes. Seems to be solved now. Watered with 2l(nutes), 1,5l(no nutes) and 2l(nutes). She is starting to smell very loud 🤤, because flowering has started. Hoping she stretches a bit more tho🙏

Continua a crescere e di piegarla non se ne parla,visto che non ho più spazio ...pessima scelta fare due ceppi in un box 60x60cm. Comunque cresce super forte e bene ! Ci sono parecchie piccole gemme alla stessa altezza mentre le 2 apicali primeggiano sulla chioma. Alla prossima settimana speriamo esploda con dei super fiori !

Blackberry Moonrocks is building some nuggets! They are looking extremely frosty! Starting to show some purple hues which is very pretty. Here's what I did this week. I used Ecothrive dry amendments to replnish the soil. I did the top dressing on 12.9.25. It consisted of the following amendments; 💚 1/2 TBSP Bloom 💚 1/2 TBSP Life Cycle 💚 1/2 TBSP Diatomaceous Earth I watered the top dress in with 3.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 2ml Trace 💜 2ml Flourish PH: 6. 5 PPM: 335 16.9.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; 💜 2ml Trace 💜 2ml Flourish PH: 6.4 PPM: 558 I'm keeping her hydrated. The lighting could certainly be better, but it is what it is. The plants just were totally different sizes, so this next run, plants are planted around the same time due to this issue. The newest run I am implementing is a SOG again, as that worked best. The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank you for stopping by this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️😊🧡

I hope these seeds are worth it! Just started today on 10/30- 24 hours in water then 3-6 days in paper towel! I had to trade a half a pack of Exotic Genetix with my brother in law to score these seeds just to enter the contest!!! 🤪😆

V38, riego, defoliación y Lollipop. Las plantas ya han alcanzado 30cm en promedio, por lo que se cambió la luz a 12/12, también se empezó a usar el líquido estimulante de floración, ya no debería hacerse ninguna defoliación importante hasta la tercera semana de floración. Por ahora se encuentra en pre-flora, a esperar signos de floración dentro de una semana más o menos.

These girls are LOOOOONGG! The stretch has been like no other I have ever seen! 2 of the plants are well over 2 ft. tall, one of which was already super cropped at the beginning of flower because it had a few mains a little higher than the rest on it. The other 2 aren't too far off though, they're right there with them. I've been out of space in my closet horizontally for about the last week or so, and was quickly running out of vertical space as well so I upgraded spaces to a new AC Infinity tent, 3' x 3' x 6', ANDDDDDD come to find out I'm rapidly approaching the ceiling of that already on day 1 in the tent! We're almost at 3 full weeks flowering (since light flip) so I'm hoping like hell this stretch is over or about there because if not, it's going to be a super long 6-7 weeks, smh 😳. And sorry for the booboo quality video, my phone was being weird today.. Enjoy the update me maties 🏴‍☠️

unfortunatly the weather changed and temperature outside dropped down to 12 degrees celsius. It had a big impact on my plants. One plant after another wilted and i tossed 28 of them. The substrate is also to wet and maybe it was to often recycled. Only 42 plants left and only some really look healthy like they should. I have to start again with new seeds to fill may table. I am so angry about the wasted time.

It's been a wonderful journey, I'm very happy about this lady's performance, she has produced a high quality harvest, low quantity but I didn't maximice the space as good as I should, but definitely a wonderful genetic to grow, the flowrs are super sticky, full of trichomes and the smell is just the clasic amnesia smell you expect.
