~ 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: 10/8- Here we go into Week One of veg for these girls. Unfortunately, all three are yellowing, showing signs of deficiency already. I'll continue to monitor them for any changes. I think the cause was they were in their peat pellets getting straight water, then when transplanted into their 5g pots which were pre-moistened with straight well water that was ph'd to 6.2 but had zero nutrients. They have now received one feeding and will get another in 2-3 days which I hope will help to bring their color back. 10/10- All three Tropicana Cookies are still not where I'd like them to be. I'll give them another feed tomorrow and see if that helps. They are so small and young at this point that I don't want to feed more often until I know that their roots are developed a bit more. 10/12- Today I fed the girls with a 10min. fill cycle, during which I monitored the moisture level of the medium via a soil hydrometer, then drained the system. 10/14- There goes the first week for the Tropicana Cookies and honestly, it could have been better. With this being my first attempt at 'Hydro' I fully expected to have a few hiccups along the way and this is just one of those that I will learn from and move forward! See you next week fam! ❤️❤️❤️ 💚 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!💚

Stronger and stronger everyday, looks like this girl went into flower last night, so exciting ✌️🌱✌️

This week the external reservoir was filled with early flowering nutrient mix. More info to come soon

Update coming.

11/10 - comenzó su cuarta semana de floracion. Su evolución fue muy notoria, de un dia para el otro se desarrolló mucho. No tuve problemas en ninguna etapa, hasta el momento se encuentra perfecta. Los cocos son muy resinosos y grandes.

A planta se esgostou os nutrientes do solo e foi aplicada apos a 5 semana floração fertlizante bioo grow BiooBizz e Top Candý da top Crop a planta esta exalando um cheiro muito doce, veremos...💫💨💨💨

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.

Week 5 for the Critical and Sour Ds and Week 4 for the Lemon Pie, Blackberry and Gorilla Zkittlez. Fed 2 tbl of Coast of Maine, Stonington Plant Food at the beginning of Week 5 and end of 4 for the younger plants.

Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing! Stay Lifted Salokin

i'm this i'm must defoliation early because pest

I have moved the pots 💚

Plain RO water

Tag 15: 🌱: Anscheinend hat mir die kleine Dame das gestrige Topping nicht zu übel genommen. Ich würde sogar behaupten, sie hat mittlerweile den Schock überwunden und das Wachstum wieder aufgenommen. Außerdem hat sie sich selbst bereits so gedreht, dass der Platz im Topf / in der Box gut ausgenutzt werden kann. 💧: Da die Erde um die Pflanze herum noch etwas feucht ist, wird erst morgen wieder gegossen. 💡: Die Beleuchtung bleibt zunächst unverändert (ca. 45cm Abstand, DLI ~16) 🤔: Die hellen Stellen auf den Fächerblättern machen mir etwas Sorgen. Vielleicht ein Stickstoffmangel? Morgen gibt es vermutlich etwas mehr vom Bio Grow und dann wird die Sache weiter beobachtet. Tag 16: 🌱: Keine besonderen Auffälligkeiten. 💧: Heute war die Erde trocken, daher gab es 1 Liter Nährstofflösung. 💡: DLI wurde auf 18 erhöht. Tag 17: 🌱: Keine besonderen Auffälligkeiten. Die Triebe entwickeln sich gut, ich denke am Wochenende kann ich mit dem LST beginnen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung bleibt zunächst unverändert (ca. 45cm Abstand, DLI ~18) 🤔: Die hellen Stellen scheinen sich auch auf den neuen Fächerblättern auszubilden, trotz extra Dosis Bio Grow und AlgaMic...wird weiter aufmerksam beobachtet. Tag 18: 🌱: Heute wurde vorsichtig mit dem LST begonnen und die 2 oberen Haupttriebe wurden etwas nach unten gezwungen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde etwas hochgeregelt, auf einen DLI von ca. 20 (ca. 45cm Abstand). 🤔: So langsam machen mir die hellen Stellen immer mehr Sorgen. Die extra Dosis Bio Grow scheint daran nichts verändert zu haben und auch die kleine Dosis AlgAMic scheint nichts zu bewirken. Nach etwas weiterer Nachforschung denke ich, es könnte vielleicht auch ein Magnesiummangel sein. Laut Versorger hat das Leitungswasser: Calcium=89,6mg/l | Magnesium=6,2mg/l. Vermutlich fahre ich morgen mal in den Baumarkt und kaufe Bittersalz... Tag 19: 🌱: LST der 2 oberen Haupttriebe etwas angepasst. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. Trotzdem gab es für die kleine ein wenig Wasser aus der Spühflasche (ph-Wert 6,4) mit etwas Bittersalz (ca. 0,25g/l) 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 20: 🌱: LST der 2 oberen Haupttriebe etwas angepasst und mit dem LST der unteren Triebe begonnen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. Zusätzlich gab es jedoch ein paar Sprühstöße mit dem Bittersalzwasser. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 21: 🌱: Heute wurde mal wieder die Schere angesetzt. Zum Opfer fielen ihr die untersten, ersten Blattpaare am Stamm (1- bzw. 3-fingrig), 1-2 nach innen wachsende Blätter die die Triebe verschatteten, sowie die ersten Nebentriebe der unteren 2 Nebenarme. Zusätzlich wurde das LST nachjustiert. Ansonsten sehen die neueren Blätter aus, als würde sie gut auf das Bittersalz im Wasser reagieren. 💧: Erde ist noch feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert.
