Good grown Plant, dense and big buds. And damn the smell is crazy !! It has a really strong kushy smell to it and it has a really nice color also.

This plant was fun the whole way through. I had some issues up front and the plant got super stressed but in the long run she developed one huge bud so that's pretty exciting.

~ 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: 11/5- Well here we go into the second week of flower for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! All three plants are now in flower, with the #2 & #3 ahead by about a week. I have done LST on all three, tying down branches with horticulture wire. I've also done some defoliation on each plant as they got extremely bushy and were getting zero light down into the lower sections of them. All have responded extremely well to the training and are looking great! Tomorrow I will empty and clean the reservoir along with the 'brain bucket' as the water has really gotten funky and has an odor that I don't like. Going forward, I'm going to be doing weekly changes on the reservoir where I'll empty/clean/refill and add fresh nutrients. In between changes I'll just be topping off the reservoir with straight water and only checking the PH. 11/7- Yesterday I emptied, cleaned/disinfected and refilled the reservoir and 'brain bucket' with well water. After filling, I added Plagron's Cocos 'A' and 'B' in equal portions, Green Sensation, Royal Rush and Power Roots. I also added a dose of silica to this batch @ 1.2ml/g. The plants are all doing alright, the #3 does have some spotting beginning on her leaves in in margins, and has never had the darker green of the other two pheno's. 11/9- I'm continuing to adjust the LST wires on all three plants to try and keep as much light penetration down into the centers of the plants which has been working well. I have also removed a shade leaf here and there when necessary. The plants are really doing well in this AirCube system and I'm slowly getting a better handle on its 'in's & out's'. I did also check the ppm's of the return solution to see if there was a wide variance from what was going in, and all was good with only a 50-100ppm difference. 11/11- The spotting on the #3 pheno has cleared up nicely, and she's the tallest of the three plants @ 24". The #1 and #3 plants, although not as tall, have flowers that are getting a beautiful dark purple coloration in them, while the #2 pheno's flowers are pure white, with only a slight hint of purple coloration showing. Tomorrow I will be doing a drain/clean/refill on the AirCube system, along with fresh nutrients, which the girls should really enjoy! There's two weeks of flower behind these girls, with another six to eight to go which will be getting more exciting as the weeks progress... I can't wait!😎 💚 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!💚

08/25/2020 Did some defoiliating more pistils popping out all over.

So happy my gorilla glue have started showing their first signs of floweringlast night. One in the front is filmed ( non intentionally ) The back one was toped once. They are flourishing in their growtechgarden self wicking pots.

Transplanted the cbd cnc. Doing well SD pruned again awaiting another week to see if it recovers

Flushing her out this week- Only drawback this entire grow was she was super nitrogen sensitive. Barely fed in veg and followed the advance nutrients and green gro protocols cut in half— and she got a bit of a nitrogen claw. Other than that, fading nicely. Great structure, decent frost, terps are more earthy/piney now versus runtz (we know that can change) These ladies have massive fan leaves and are shorter in stature- making it an easy grow. Will be harvesting soon. 🏻💚

It's the 4th week! Stilling doing the mainlining, for some reason I found myself training the branches to form a bull horn shape, maybe I'll mount it on the wall after this first grow, lmao. I added more CalMag this week, as now I'm thinking the rust/brown spots and tips are from a Calcium deficiency since I am using distilled water. Time to watch these leaves, and if it continues to rust it might be the VPD. Nov 28th - pH 6.0, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 70f, Humidity 50% Nov 29th - pH 6.3 -> 5.8, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 55% Nov 30th - pH 5.8, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 60% Dec 1st - pH 5.9, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 70% Dec 2nd - pH 5.5 -> 5.9, PPM 840, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 60% Dec 3rd - pH 5.9, PPM 810, 1.6 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 70% Dec 4th - pH 5.7, PPM 790, 1.6 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 70%

Letting them finish out. Just don’t miss a watering

switched my light cycle and excited to see things take off Hoping to keep things under control Only budding 3 of the plants while the other one is still Vegging in another tent. Probably toss it in next week I tie them down constantly LSD is beautiful Green Gelato has grown wild Royal Gorilla is very bushy Hulk Berry has long strong Branches with minimal side branching...That is why I am vegging it longer March 9th Everything is going awesome at the end of week 1 of flowering -All plants are in 4x4 tent -If anyone has any questions let me know

Patagonia

Beginning of week 3 of flowering and plants are slowing there stretch down. I decided to let them come up into the second screen about a foot above the first screen. Second screen holes are twice as big as the first layer screen and is primarily to support the colas later in flowering. I stripped all the growth below the first screen so the plants won’t waste there energy on these lower beaches with no light under the canopy. I will be removing a few of the larger guard leaves later in the week on the top of the canopy to let light in to the lower shouts ready to come up, but not until after the plants recovers for a day or 2 from the bottom stripping. Smell is starting to ramp up, can really notice it strong when you open the tent now.

Die Blüten wachsen. Der PH Wert und ppm sind konstant. Den EC Wert kriege ich leider nicht unter 2,5. Die Pflanze scheint sich trotzdem wohl zu fühlen. ----------------------------- The flowers are growing. The PH value and ppm are constant. Unfortunately, I can't get the EC value below 2.5, but the plant still seems to be doing well.

Ciao ragazzi!!! Eccoci e finita la seconda settimana di fioritura le piante hanno smesso di fare lo stretching e hanno iniziato a formare i fiori. come si vede nel video ho fatto la tecnica chiamata lollipop,ovvero defogliato ed eliminato tutto ciò che non si era ben formato o che non avrebbe preso abbastanza luce. A livello di fertilizzante ho dato per 1.5 L di acqua 1.5ml di enzimi 2 ml di top bloom ringrazio per la collaborazione viparspectra adesso è parecchio che utilizzo la loro lampada e devo dire che vedo i risultati. Ottima lampada led nel mio caso sto utilizzando Viparspectra XS2000 in uno spazio di coltura 100x100x200 this well-known brand offers different solutions look at the official website https://viparspectra.eu/ or Search for it on Amazon: Amazon US: https://amzn.to/30xSTVq Amazon Canada: https://amzn.to/38udUVe Viparspectra UE: bit.ly/ViparspectraUE Viparspectra USA: bit.ly/ViparspectraUS continuate a seguirmi 💪 lasciate un like 👍 maryjane23😛

I had to add some support for the back left plant. I can technically Harvest and now but I'm waiting for a little more Amber on 3 plants. Its like 60/40 milky clear. Im thinking a week or so on 3 plants. But im horrible at guessing when they will be ready to harvest lol until I just scope and see lol.

It's a nice change of pace to have these warmer temperatures, even if it's not quite spring yet. Low 40s during the day is a lot more comfortable than what we've been dealing with lately. Hopefully, this is a sign that spring's around the corner. My gas tax plant is the star of the tent – it's looking healthier than ever! The leaves are a perfect shade of green, and those buds are going to be absolutely massive. You're gonna be one proud plant owner when it's ready.

Purple Lemonade from fast buds comming in nice on week 1 of veg she is missing one of her first leaves so looks a little funny but growing more every day under this fold 6 from medic grow

this is a very easy one to grow with an enormous bag appeal true her all cycle, a must in any garden, her trichomes production is out of these world, as are them grams on them fruits, a true must for us all to grow

UPDATE: Day 1 of week 14- Thursday 19th Nov!!!! Woop woop! We’re getting close, my magnifying lense arrived and I’ve got my first real good look at the trichomes.. All looking fairly cloudy with about 10-15% ambers coming through. So as we’re super close now I’ve now started flushing. Not doing a run off as have been using Biobizz soil & Nutes. First flush is done and girls are looking happy. One lady seems to have really heavy colas as she’s struggling to stand up straight. So I’ve staked her to keep her more upright. Think she may bring the best yield of all four girls as it stands so far. Final couple of weeks now, I can’t believe I’ve made it this far and really can’t wait to try my first home grown bud🍃 UPDATE: Day 2 of week 14 - Friday 20th Nov: Had to water them early as the girls were very dry after their first flush.. I on average water them every 48 hrs, but they were ready after 36. Already noticing some slight discolouration on the leaves 🍁... Glad I didn’t jump the gun and chop them this week after seeing some amber trichomes.. A bit more LST as they had stretched a little. I’m short on lamp to plant distance but noticed what looked like a little leaf burn on one of the tallest nugs. So did what I could to bring the height of them down just a little 👌 UPDATE: Day 4 of week 14 - Sun 22nd Nov: As soon as the lights went on today, more water seemed required at around 36hrs since the last flush. The girls seem to be loving it! Buds do seem to be fattening up a little more each day and I think one girl is slight more ahead than the others as she has mostly orange pistils compared to the other three.. Still need to see more amber trichomes on all four ladies before they’re ready! UPDATE: Day 5 of week 14 - Monday 23rd Nov: Small amount of LST to keep the girls as even as poss.. Defo seeing some discolouration in the fan leaves now.. All but one of the four girls have nearly completely orange pistils now which are folding back in to the buds. But Trichomes need to be a little more amber before they’re ready.. The fourth lady however is slightly behind with less orange pistils, some white ones still to turn orange and trichomes are still a mix of milky and clear on the lower buds. When I topped this one it didn’t work as well as the others so she has one really massive cola and all the others are much smaller in comparison to the other three plants.. I think we’ve got a week to 10 days left roughly till harvest. UPDATE: Day 6 of week 14 - Tuesday 24th Nov: Another water flush again today.. All seems well, lower small buds still need a few more amber trichomes I think.. But gonna post a question on here to make sure.. Don’t wanna get this wrong. Sooooooo close now and I’ll be seeing 🤩🤩🤩

There's something i want to correct and remark this week. About the question i asked some weeks ago on growers help, about the plant with decoloring problems (Photos 7 & 13), where i've choose the defoliation answer as the correct one. Watching the plant today, I would say that it can be an excess of co2 in the roots caused by a co2 tablet that I used during the first days of growth. You can notice how the part of the plant in the back does not present de decoloration it have in the front. Also remarking what i've told last week, i must say the SCROG is not a true SCROG, as some colas begin below others, and also colas are of different heights among all plants. Anyway i'm very happy on how everything is going. And insisting again, I have very very few experience growing cannabis, this is my 3rd grow, 2nd indoor, and first time with photo-period at indoors, and of course is the first time too i'm trying to apply growing technics on a serious way. I really don't know if i'm doing things right or wrong. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 13/04/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients -(Sensizym, bloom stimulator, bloom nutrition & amino complex) @ PH6.4 & 1.3 E.C. 17/04/19 - 1.250 ml with Silica Power, Pro Active, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition, Sensizym & 5 drops of Amino Complex @ PH6.5 & 1.3 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Siento no tener vídeos timelapse esta semana, he esclavizado la cámara en el armario de 60x60 para grabar la primera semana de crecimiento con otras plantas que tengo en el. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Hay una cosa que quiero corregir y remarcar esta semana. En sobre la pregunta que realicé hace unas semanas sobre la planta que tenía una decoloración (Fotos 7 y 13), en la que escogí la respuesta de la variegación. Viendo la planta a día de hoy, yo diría que es un exceso de CO2 en las raíces causado por una pastilla de CO2 que usé durante los primeros días de crecimiento. Al fijarse bien se ve como la parte trasera de la planta no presenta las decoloraciones y sin embargo la frontal si. Para tener una idea más o menos certera del tamaño de las partes de las plantas, tened en cuenta que la red está fija a 24 cm de la parte superior de la tierra de los tiestos. También remarcando lo que dije durante la última semana, he de decir que el SCROG no es un SCROG real, ya que las colas no empiezan desde la misma altura ni son de la misma altura, ni las plantas son de la misma altura. Pero yo estoy muy contento con como va la cosa, vuelvo a insistir que es mi primera vez con foto-dependientes indoor, mi segundo armario indoor y el tercer cultivo de mi vida, y por supuesto la primera vez que aplico o intento aplicar las técnicas de cultivo. Lo estoy intentando realizar bien y de manera eficaz, pero realmente no se si lo estoy haciendo bien o mal, yo simplemente me lio y veo como responden las plantas. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 13/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Sensizym, bloom stimulator, bloom nutrition & amino complex) @ PH6.4 & 1.3 E.C. 17/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Silica Power, Pro Active, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition, Sensizym & 5 gotas de Amino Complex @ PH6.5 & 1.3 E.C.
