June 20, 2022 Watered with 3 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements. This may be the last watering. I checked each cola for amber and cloudy trichomes. There are about 5% of thr trichomes that are amber. There are about 50% that are cloudy. She is getting close. Watering Numbers In PH 6.65 TDS 37.1 EX 52.5 Out PH 6.78 TDS 351 EX 496 June 22, 2022 Watered with 3 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements. She is close. Watering Numbers In PH 6.54 TDS 70.1 EX 98.8 Out PH 6.69 TDS 328 EX 463 June 24, 2022 Watered with 7 gallons RO water with no nutrients or supplements. This completes the flush, as the runoff numbers are great. She will get her 12 hours of sun today and then immediately followed by darkness for 36 hours, then hang whole. Still reading up on finishing techniques so I have time to decide whether or not 36 hours of darkness are beneficial. Watering Numbers In PH 6.57 TDS 54.8 EX 77.2 Out PH 6.94 TDS 108 EX 152.7

I continued to renew the stakes, every 3-5 days and watered when dry. Btw I don't water every day, more like every 2-4 days, when the soil dries out. I started seeing white pistols in this week, so I knew the GC is in preflower. Thats why I fed the GC with 1ml/L of BioBizz Bio-Bloom and 1ml/L of BioBizz Bio-Grow to help with the pk demand. I also broke another note off, but the branch was still slightly attached, so I tried to glue it back on with some scotch tape and it worked out just fine. Incredible how robust this plant is and how much stress it can take for an autoflower

60x60 cm tent in a 1920's peek-in-closet Oversized vent for silence High power DIY LED True SoG 12/12 from seed with 15 plants in 2L pots Watering all plants in bottom tray with 30% of total pot size (10L) WEEK 1 DAY 1 - Germinated in paper towel DAY 3 - Planted into pots + Lights ON at 125w DAY 5 - All plants have broken soil DAY 7 - Slight stretch - Light at 185w WEEK 2 Two of the Iced Out are lagging behind, others are on point - I'm trying to push light and nutes to the max. Extraction fan (AC infinity Cloudline T6) on level 2. DAY 13 - First full watering (10L) with 20 ml Canna Terra Vega DAY 14 - Circulation fan turned on (low) during lights on WEEK 3 Good growth, two Iced Out still lagging DAY 18 - Light at 225w, Extraction fan on level 3 during lights on DAY 20 - 2nd watering, 8L with 30ml Vega + Light at 250w DAY 21 - On point, mostly :) Could've pushed nutes a bit more from the go WEEK 4 DAY 24 - So far this week I'm just kicking back and watching them do their thing. The two lagging Iced Outs are trying to catch up. DAY 26 - Watering 10L with 50 ml Vega (one day too late...) + light on 300w (max) DAY 28 - 4 weeks from popping the seeds, looking good except for the two Iced Outs, one of them is trying to get with the program, the other... Well, some plants are just pricks. WEEK 5 I think this is the week we'll see them take off :) DAY 29 - Plants are starting to show sex, removed 2 Urkle Mints males, the other two are females, the rest are fems so we're down to 13 female plants total with only a single weakling DAY 29 - Watering 8L with 50ml Vega (shouldn't have been later than today!) DAY 33 - plants exploded over the last 4 days and most are stretching and starting to flower DAY 33 - Watering 10L with 60ml Vega (feeding Vega once or twice more then we switch to Flora) DAY 35 - Just cruisin' 😎 WEEK 6 Lots of stretch the past week, flowers are setting in, the laggy Iced Out was culled, 3 plants are a bit behind the others.. DAY 36 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 39 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 42 - Defoliation WEEK 7 DAY 44 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 47 - Switching to flowering nutes - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores WEEK 8 Had to break the stem on the stretchy Sugar Cane to keep it low enough DAY 51 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 54 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores WEEK 9 Starting to chunk and frost up. The 2 Urkle Mints regs are really small and slow but flowering, the slow Iced Out just started flowering and probably won't add up to much by the time the next grow needs to start. Platinum Jelly, Frosted Apricots, and Platinum Terple are looking really good, I knew PJ would kill DAY 57 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 61 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores DAY 61 - Defoliation WEEK 10 DAY 65 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 DAY 69 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 WEEK 11 DAY 72 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 DAY 75 - Watering 10L with 40ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 (Last feeding)

Interesting but so far #5 has the best root development followed by #1 and then #3. This is my very first time cloning and so far i am impressed with the results.

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~ This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end. Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal! FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! 😎👍 Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts. On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4. So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System: Positives: • Well made • Easy to assemble • Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available • Easily expandable Negatives: • Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed • No way to control solution temperature in reservoir • Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days • No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not. • Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants. • Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup. All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!

Hope you guys had an alright week, the rain and floodings here in Europe has wreaked havoc on my outdoor garden, however this diary isn't about my Chamelauciums, its about that sticky green stuff. and boy this lady has started her stretch! I think I might have made the right call flipping her when I did because I can tell she's going to stretch big. Made adjustments to a couple of things this week; my bucket needed more oxygen, so I got a bigger pump and I have fixed my temperature issue by Literally just aiming an air-conditioner at the back of my tent, where my air pump is and as a result, now my water remains a chill 18 degrees! I also need to start keeping my tent closed, even though I absolutely love watching my plants during the day, some critters have made their way inside, eating at the leaves, for now in veg I don't really mind all that much, but I don't want any creepy crawlies when flowers start forming, those are mine and mine alone, not sharing those with any grasshoppers! I recommend keeping a go pro or something in your tent, its quite fun to observe grow, like how the leaves droop 20 minutes before lights out, and start praying upwards before light comes on, these plants really do get into a sleep like rhythm. doing a diary in general just adds a whole lot to the hobby, whether you do a private catalogue, or public, try it! Thanks for stopping by, I suspect we'll see the first signs of flowering next week, I've never grown this Strain, but I can see a few pre flower pistils forming as I'm typing this. Enjoy your week, as always stay safe and keep growing.

debido a quemaduras que encontre en las plantas el dia 14/06, dia 29 desde germinacion, debi regar con cal max, ya que creo que hay falta de calcio - magnesio. aplique 1.2 ml por litro de agua. no creo que sea exceso de ferti ya que todos riegos se han preparado con la dosis minima que indica. se sigue regando con 0.4 L cada 48hrs una tecnica que he hecho es ir acomodando o doblando las hojas hacia abajo dando prioridad a los bracitos de cada planta. Dia 30: riego de agua 600 ml de agua Dia 32: todas las plantas en floracion Aplicamos solo tek groow ya que las manchas en las plantas se debian a falta de azúfre lo concluimos con un grupo de amigos todos growers y un agrónomo. Por que queremos continuar con la tabla de grotek nutrients y el domingo dia 34 aplicar blossom blaster

Flowering Purple Push Pops (grew 2023 outside) and Black Cherry Gelato (love to smoke it, first time growing) Clones- from my clone guy- 4 Purple Push Pops and 2 Black Cherry Gelato 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, GH 3-part+ flourolicious, calimagic, SI, chelated iron, and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension Garage grow SoCal This week I kept up the tucking and defoliating with the objective of stretching out the scrog and having at least one bud site per grid. I also upgraded to an oscillating fan which I hung to free up grow space. We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I bumped my VPD up to account for leaf temp. The autopots are working. They just increased their (self feeding) appetite - up from .3 gallon a day to .8 gallons a day. This weeks accomplishments: Dehumidifier venting tuning Filled each scrog grid with at least one cola Stabilize temp, humidity and VPD. Stretched trellis with pvc frame Better oscillating fans for top and bottom airflow This week to-do By Monday evening, I have to install two more autopots - I’m still hand feeding the gelatos. I’m going on vaca, so we’ll see how this turns out. Long term issues Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing pest and mold issues My fiancé is getting jealous of all the attention to my grow! I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies.

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of flowering. The first pictures are of the tent opening in the morning. And I put it back each night. That allows me to go into flowering when I want. One more week of veg to go, before I turn it over to flowering. And it will be around August 7th to August 15 when I'll harvest. The plants have filled out their space now. and most are growing over the edges of the table. I plan to get growing tips going up this week. with a big prune/trim about 3 days before I switch. I like to let the plants heal for 3 or 4 days before going into flowering. To get over the shock I caused by trimming them up. Then they can go into flowering easier and turn over faster if they don't have to heal first. The smell when I open the tent is like slightly metallic, a bit sour ish, like some good Afghani hashish smells. Each plant got an extra minute of nutrient solution in the morning this week with no leaking out the bottom this week. And they will get another minute in a couple of weeks. That will make 4 minutes a day of food, and I feel with my fingers, when they feel dry around the edges they get a gallon or 2 of rainwater. They look healthy. No signs of bugs or pest. When I was opening the tent a few days ago I saw a ladybug, just sitting under one of the lights, getting warm 😉 and helping. My friend Jerry, who you've seen in other diaries, gave me lots of bamboo, some 7 feet long, to make a sort of netting to hold up the buds rather than tie them to the tent pole roof. OK. Stuff to do. See ya later. Chuck.

Week 14 and my babies are almost completely done. Hopefully I can pull them at the end of this week. Their colors are really showing now. Buds are getting pretty chubby. Happy and healthy…

Day 22: Started on LST today. For the first time ever I removed 1or 2 of the big fan leaves before bending the plant over. These leaves would have become trapped under the plant so i would be removing them later anyway so I thought it would be easier to do so beforehand. I also removed the first pair of nodes after the cotyledon. To reduce the risk slowing down or stunting growth I done this bit of defoliation under a very dim light, half way through the 6 hour lights out night schedule when all the plants hormones would have been returned to the roots.. Day23: Continued with more LST pinning down branches. Day 24: Small bit more LST toady and also moved plant from the veg space with CFL’s to the main grow space in under the LED lights. There’s a good few pistils starting to show. Day 25: Watered with light dose of nutrients (1m G). Took around 3 litres. Day 27: Removed the biggest low down fan leaf. Day 28: Removed one more big fan leaf but in the process accidentally removed a branch also. Mr.Nelson was pretty pissed. But you know what they say “What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger”. Han suggested I don’t use that phrase with Mr.Nelson.

Jan 13th ordered a Dehumidifier today should be here Monday need to get the humidity down for flower I can only get it down to 57% so Hopefully it will work One of the amnesia haze plants have some type of deficiency not sure have brown spots on leaves Got humidity some decent control but I’m sure amnesia haze 1 is dealing with PH issues the PH meter is cheap and I’m sure it’s been off a bit so I’m going to look for new one this week
