The time has come! This is the part that makes me nervous! Got some decent sized nugs. So I really hope I don't run into mold. Shooting for a 10 day dry, seems to have worked for me so far. I don't wait for the branches to snap, but just right before. They tend to dry up a little more while trimming and by the time they make it into the jar it's good to go. Next update in 2 weeks.

~ 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!💚

A lb from 2 plants in 69 days from sprout. You literally CANNOT beat that. Not to mention the 9g of kief I got just from my trim box. This stuff smokes like a dream, burns slow and tastes pine on the inhale, citrus/lemon on the exhale. Mephisto you guys prove time and time again why you are the elite.

New Tent, Started with Mr Canucks GRO medium, and planted directly in 5 gallon pots with a light watering center and plastic cap to hold the humidity. Currently 2 of 4 have broken the soil in 4 days now it’s time to keep the medium moist. The weather is chiller right now. I adjust my grow tent temp to 78. It feels the tent is dialed in for the othe 3 to germinate. When checking the seeds I realized I put them to deep. So I knuckle depth to see if there is success. The soil was cold so hopefully increasing the temp provides better results.

Начинаю растить новый сорт моим собственным методом. Я его называю корона, хотя больше подходит название Multiple Symmetric Lollipopping. Это что-то среднее между Main Lining, Low Stress Training и SoG. Суть заключается в том, что мы делаем Topping выше 4-го этажа и затем все 8 основных веток разводим по сторонам. Четыре нижние ветки по диагонали, четыре верхние крест-накрест. В итоге получается эдакий равномерный круг веток, растущих на одной высоте, так как мы легко можем контролировать высоту каждой ветки. Принципиально можно и 10 и 12 веток делать, но мне хватает 8. Желательно иметь широкий горшок, чтобы было куда разводить ветки. Надеюсь когда-нибудь появится новый метод MSL с моим авторством. Итак, взял две семечки, а победитель по росту переедет в большой горшок. Гроубокс у меня самодельный. Две лампы HLG 100, но по факту обе работают по 50ватт. Встроено два фильтра и два канальных вентилятора. Один работает постоянно, второй включается автоматически при превышении верхнего порога температуры. Дверки на защелках, проклеены уплотнителем чтобы не пробивался свет и запах. Внутррение габариты от лампы ШДВ - 67х48х68 сантиметров. Помещается два куста, но я предпочитаю растить только 1. Как проращиваю семена? 1. Они всегда хранятся в холодильнике. При попадании в теплую и влажную среду семена получают сигнал к росту и быстрее всего прорастают, буквально за 14-16 часов. 2. Берем нужные семена и кладем в теплую воду (18-22 градуса Цельсия) на 3-4 часа. Это нужно, чтобы скорлупа размягчилась, а семечко согрелось и получила достаточно влаги. 3. Слегка маникюрными щипчиками расщепляем скорлупу. Делается специально, чтобы как можно раньше корешок начал получать воздух. Чем быстрее раскрывается скорлупа, тем быстрее начинает прорастать корень и уменьшается риск загнивания. 4. Садим в таблетку или сразу в готовый субстрат. Обычно я сажу сразу в готовый субстрат, но в этот раз решил попробовать в торфяной таблетке, чтобы выбрать победителя по активности роста. Как я готовлю кокосовый субстрат? 1. Я никогда не использую старый субстрат. Во-первых, я применяю микоризу и множество других грибков и бактерий, которые для маленьких ростков будут слишком концентрированными и могут навредить. Во-вторых, в старом кокосе очень много старых корней, которые обязательно будут гнить. С одной стороны это хорошо, но по факту это приводит к загниванию субстрата и образованию плесени. 2. Беру половину брикета, развожу в воде, промываю в проточной воде (попеременно горячей и холодной) пока не вымоется вся морская соль и затем размешиваю с вермикулитом и перлитом. 3. Заливаю полученный субстрат на 15-20 минут удобрением Cal-Mag (1000 PPM), чтобы субстрат набрал катионов кальция и магния, иначе первую неделю полива кокос будет забирать эти вещества из полива, а растение будет голодать. Если измерить PPM воды после внесения Cal-Mag и через 20 минут, то увидите, что PPM упадет до 600-700 единиц. Это кокос вобрал в себя соли. 4. Заливаю удобрением, в случае трех-компонентного Grow-Micro-Bloom в соотношении 3-2-1, PPM 1000. Также оставляю на 15-20 минут. Нужно это затем, чтобы кокос теперь равномерно вобрал в себя другие катионы (железо, цинк, медь, калий, ну и азотистые соединения, как то мочевина и аммоний). То есть мы целенаправленно вымываем излишки кальция и магния. 5. Затем, уже поливаем нашим удобрением с PPM 600-700 чтобы чуток снизить концентрацию. 6. В этот готовый буферизированный субстрат потом и попадет пророщенное семечко. Как я поливаю? В течение первых трех недель я поливаю через день. И не важно, высох субстрат или не высох. Кокосовый субстрат это позволяет. Далее приходится поливать каждый день, потому что развитая корневая система осушивает весь субстрат за сутки под чистую. Никогда не поливаю чистой водой - это только нарушает PH внутри субстрата и приводит к стрессу растения. Если нужно промыть субстрат, то готовится несколько поливов с нужным удобрением. Вспомните про то как после промывки падает PPM. Вот тоже самое происходит и при поливе чистой водой: питательные элементы вымываются с кокоса и когда вы начинаете "кормить" растение, оно голодает, потому что кокос все отбирает, чтобы делиться "потом", когда "насытится". PH на веге всегда около 5.6-5.8, на цветении 5.8-6.1. PPM стараюсь держать на уровне 700. На цветении 1200-1400. Если вы дочитали до этого момента и увидели страшную цифру в 700 PPM, то на самом деле ничего страшного в этом нет. Если вы возьмете обычную землю, разведете водой и померяете PPM, то он там будет куда более высокие показатели. На самом деле растение способно жить даже при PPM в 5000 единиц. Поливать растение с PPM 300 - это слишком бедная смесь. Как правило, все руководства ориентируются на земляной грунт, а производители страхуются и дают заниженные нормы, чтобы покупатели случайно не сожгли свои растения. Но если если у вас есть PH и TDS измерительные приборы, то вы смело можете щедро кормить свое растение, а оно вам ответит буйным ростом и плотными шишками. Всегда руководствуюсь золотым правилом проверки дренажа: PPM растет PH падает: у растения несварение и что-то оно не может усвоить. PPM падает PH растет: растение голодает, либо нарушен ионно-катионный баланс. PPM стоит PH растет: все идет хорошо. В каждом случае нужно понимать что было сделано ранее и корректировать действия. Итак: 19.01.2021, в 12:00 замочил семечки в воде 19.01.2021, в 16:00 расколол аккуратно семечки и посадил в торфяную таблетку 19.01.2021, в 23:00 уже одна семка начала вылезать из торфа, хотя утапливал. И это всего лишь прошло 7 часов. Чувствую кандидат на пересадку уже показал себя. 20.01.2021, в 16:00 эта же семечка уже отрастила корешок и полностью показалась из торфа. 21.01.2021, в 10:00 выскочило из торфа и готова расправить листики. Вторая семечка пока сохраняет молчание. 21.01.2021, в 17:00 росток вот вот начнет разрывать скорлупку чтобы выпустить первые семядоли. Перенес в гроубокс под лампу. 23.01.2021, в 10:00 умер... так и не увидев свет. А вот её младшая сестра неожиданно вылеза из торфа и вытянулась за ночь на 2 сантиметра, пока были отключены лампы. Пришлось ей вручную снимать скорлупу. 23.01.2021, в 15:00 младшая сестра уже показала хвостик корня с другой стороны торфяной таблетки. Завтра надо будет пересаживать уже в нормальный горшок 24.02.2021, в 14:00 девочка переехала в новый дом. Первые листики стали размером с семядолями. Поздравления принимаются, мы проросли.

09 May 2021 Today starts the 15th week of my grow, and the 6th week of flower. Just over a month till the scheduled harvest, and today the nutrient amounts change according to my feeding chart. So today feeding went like this: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. Today we aren’t using any of the FloraGro, and won’t be for the rest of the grow. I chilled the water again, but not as long this time and the temperature of the solution was 56.3 degrees F. I thought it odd that the website doesn’t allow for entries lower than 50 degrees in that block, but oh well. The initial pH was 5.89, and I added pH UP 2.5ml which adjusted the pH to 6.53. The runoff pH was 5.63. Lower than I want, but still within range for a healthy plant. Temperature in the tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was at 53%. The plant looks great, and is maturing quite nicely. 11 May 2021 Today was a busy day! My DarkStar Kush is doing very well! The smell is starting to get stronger and the buds are fattening up as well. I’ve noticed some mild nutrient burn on some of my leaf tips, but nothing terrible. I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure that they don’t get worse. I haven’t really made any adjustments to the nutrients lately with the exception of increasing the FloraBloom by 2.5ml’s, and stopped using the FloraGro in accordance with my feed chart. Feeding today went as follows: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom at 15ml. The initial pH was 5.85, so I added 3ml of pH UP to increase the pH to 6.52. The runoff pH was 5.65. I finally received my TDS meter today, so the TDS reading was 1070 ppm. My feed chart says that the ppm range in looking for is 1050-1400 ppm, so 1070 puts me in that range. I chilled the water again today, and it was 46 degrees F. The temperature in the grow tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. So far so good, and I’m starting two new diaries today for some clones I was gifted by Buddabud, so check them out. 13 May 2021 Just when I thought I was on cruise control with my baby here, she throws me a slow curve. The question is; will I hit it, or miss it? The light nutrient burn that I noticed in my last entry on the 11th has gotten just a small tad worse, but nothing terrible. I believe it’s not from the feeding, but the build up of nutrients in the soil. I finally got my TDS monitor as I noted the other day, so I tested the ppm in the runoff and it was over 4000. Then, as I was shaking the excess water off the end, the end cap for the battery came off and the whole monitor plunged back into the water completely submerging for a moment before I could get a hand free to grab it. It’s been sitting in a bowl of rice since yesterday. I just hope it dries out and keeps working. I need to see what the TDS of the soil at this stage is supposed to be and then either keep going and damn the burn, or maybe feed with pH’ed plain water for a feeding or two and then see how it reacts. I’m still deciding, but will research first before making my decision. For today I kept to the feed chart. I gave the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 5.92, so I added 2.5ml of pH UP which raised the pH to 6.47. That is what I fed the plant. The TDS reading of the feed solution was 1036 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.63. Tent temperature was 79 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. I have just about 4 weeks left in this grow till the scheduled harvest. 15 May 2021 Today is the last day of the 6th week of flower, and I’m going to try and arrest my mild nutrient burn on my baby. I’ve decided to just give water and CALiMAGic today properly pH’ed to see if it does anything to improve the situation. I wanted to have a significant amount of runoff today so I fed 1.5 gallons of water with 7.5ml of CALiMAGic. The initial pH was 7.60, but adding the pH DOWN is much different than adding pH UP! I initially added just 0.5ml to the gallon of water which lowered the pH from 7.60 to 4.9. I was like, “DAMN!” 😳 so I had to pour it all out and start over again. I learned through research never to mix pH UP and DOWN in the same solution. If it’s wrong, you need to start over;!so I did. After 3 tries and lots of wasted CALiMAGic, I finally got it right by only adding 5 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to get it to 6.64. The TDS meter dried out and still works, so the TDS going in was only 403ppm. Like I said, I wanted a lot of runoff to try and clear out some of the nutrient buildup in the soil. The runoff pH was 5.58, and runoff TDS was 3803 ppm. Daytime temp was high today at 86 degrees F, and humidity was 31%. She looks good. She smells good. I hope she stays good! A few weeks left till harvest!

Lady runtz has started to form buds. I'm more than happy with the growth so far. Meanwhile I'm having problems with the height. I'll probably have to remove the fan and charcoal filter from the tent to make more room at the top.

Six weeks ago I flipped the light to 12/12 and I got to say it’s pretty fast growing. Trichomes looking good. Harvest get closer and closer. 4 of 5 plants are colouring pretty hard. Nice bud to leaf ratio and overall nice appearance. This week I started to lower the temps for terpene preservation. Smell is quite skunky and a little bit fruity.

3 seeds from barneys farm : zkittlez Og auto. Diary : Day 1: I dug a pit and cleaned my dirt with metal grid and a wheelbarrow & Installed the greenhouse. Day 2 : I rotated my dirt and added universal soil. 4 x 70l to area of 6m2 . I also planted seeds in universal soil without sprouting first. Day 3 : I gave water and checked for sprouts. Bought moist meter and dripping hose. Installed those and making the greenhouse more moisty now. Putted seeds in small sprout basket for now. Feeling : Verry happy for my first time. Lots to learn.. . Excited
