Week 11 all of the girls are doing very good. I have no insect damage which is great especially when growing outside with the wilderness so close to me the runts layer cake is right under 8 feet. The apple fritter is also nearing 8 feet. The Dusty dose 33 is a little over 7 feet tall the sherbet cream cake is a little over 6 feet tall.

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

Hi All, I think I must have missed a week, don't know how I did that but I switched on the 16th OCT and this should have been the fifth week of flowering. Anyways I will change that over the weekend. Weekly update: *What's happening in the garden. So starting the fifth week of flowering and the buds are starting to bulk up. I still think the canopy is too dense but I am going to pretty much leave it and see how it plays out. Maybe I will thin out one large colla and see if that's going to grow a lot better but I don't know how meaningful this will be going forward. *On-going problems 1. Top canopy leaves still showing red stems. (I am almost to a point where I think this might be genetics) 2. Sweating problem - I've tried to lower temps, thin out canopy and dimming light. So I've done all that with limited success UNTIL I moved two dehumidifier into the room and lowered the RH in tent from low 70's to low 60's and I directed the top fan directly at the canopy rather than blowing slightly above the canopy. That seemed to help the plant sweat without leaves pointing up and tacoing. 3. Brown goo in reservoir - I am seeing some brown goo started to grow again but less than before. So I am going to increase the cannazym, hydro guard and PH at 5.5. *Neat trick to slightly increase your grow tent area. Since this is a monster mother plant in a 2x4 tent. I've been having trouble keeping her in check especially on the perimeter of the canopy so I actually added a input fan to decrease humidity and increase air flow and also created a positive atmosphere in the tent so the tent basically increased 10- to 15% in volume especially in the middle of the tent where my canopy is at so this gives her more room to bulk up the buds.

Muy buenas mi gentee Por aquí otra semana más con estas increíbles plantas #sherbetz de @artgenetix que vienen con una forma muy top. Color y aroma muy marcado. Ya hemos empezado con los azúcares e hidratos de carbono para ayudar la floración. Riegos con fertis solo una vez por semana, el resto de riegos con solo agua regulada. Veremos cómo siguen la semana que viene.

Day 15: I removed both branches, in the second node position on the trunk, and LST'd her down in the direction of the removed-downward-node. Also, I noticed the lime green discoloration on the lower leaves which means a beginning of a nitrogen deficiency. I lightly top dressed her pot the first week because it's the first time I grow using these dry amendments. I top dressed her again yesterday and watered her today. It will take a week for the nutrients to break down so I think I will be brewing a terp tea grow to treat the deficiency while the dry ingredients break down. Day 18: continued to lst her down. I top dressed the soil with 3 tsp of nitro bat guano, 2 tsp of terp tea grow, and 2 tsp of uprising bloom. Day 20: She started showing sex so I'll be only lst'ing from now on.

Buenas, las plantas ya pasaron la fase de pre-floración, justo a los 21 días le hice la última defoliación. He intentado dejarle solo un par de nudos o tres, por arriba, estilo lollipopping, está técnica de poda agresiva, está mas vista en América, no tanto por aquí, por España. Estaremos atento a ver como le va esta poda a este cultivo🙌 Le aumenté la base de fertilizante, ya que en esta fase, la planta necesita más alimento, para cambiar su metabolismo, para florecer en óptimas condiciones. Ahora comienza el engorde de la flor, espero veros de nuevo la semana que viene por aquí😊 Un saludo y buenos humos!

Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 3 Veg Phase Ayy, what it do fam? Zuppler back on the check-in with that week 3 veg report, live from the capital. Yo, these girls ain’t playin’ no more – they really startin’ to stack up, lookin' thick in the canopy like they preppin' for somethin’ big. We still runnin’ that Advanced Nutrients like clockwork, straight through that RO water, keepin’ it pure as a Miami night breeze. The nodes are gettin’ tight, leaves spreadin’ out nice and wide, takin’ all that light. I hit ‘em with a little scrog, just a lil’ bend here and there, makin’ sure that light hit every corner of the canopy. You already know I’m tryin’ to maximize that potential. Stems got that thick structure, and no signs of nute burn or nothin’. We’re talkin’ flawless execution, fam. At this point, it’s just watchin’ ‘em fill out, keepin’ the environment dialed in and lettin’ ‘em do their thing. We’re settin’ the stage for a strong finish when we flip ‘em to flower. Zuppler out, stay blessed.

Hopefully they are all females...I love the progress I am seeing with them thus far. I started feeding them some fish fertiliser which they respond to very well.

Welcome guys We are at the final conclusion with this famous strain, the STRAWBERRY COUGH 🍓🍓🗣️ After more than two months of treatment I was able to test it in the best conditions But first I quickly pick up on what I did after the cut 👇 The whole plant is placed in a cupboard upside down, with the leaves still attached.. After about seven / ten days, when the leaves were pretty dry, the flowers crunchy, but before the branches break cleanly ... I cleaned all the buds thoroughly, I cut them off the branches and put them back inside of a brown bag..for about a day / two Later I placed everything in a classic glass jar For 24h I left it closed ⏳ Later I started opening it several times a day More or less, after about three weeks, I usually close the jar permanently and wait a few more weeks to start using the flowers 🔥 Back to the strain 👇 The inflorescences are slightly airy in Sativa style, but very thick and with a good amount of trichomes Aroma is delicate but present, as is the flavor.. It is a type of weed that can appeal to more or less everyone 👌 The high is also very pleasant, a soft sativa that keeps the mind quite clear and one feels motivated.. The test was done by smoking it (no tobacco), and the taste is good if everything is done correctly, but I find many more "strawberry" notes using vaporizers In all cases it is a genetics that I can recommend to everyone 💯 For more info on the cycle, I refer you to the past weeks, where I tried to report everything that happened, in the best possible way. Thanks to @supersiberia for the seeds 👍👍 And like as always thanks to @growdiaries for this virtual dream garden 🙏 Good crops to all 😎 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

She got to big for the 2x2x4 so I had to move it to a bigger 2x4x5 that has a new never before used 320w kingbright so this whole grow is evolving as it goes I had no clue that hydro and 200w in veg would make the plant this big. Temps are much easier to control now in the bigger setup. the 7 gallon res. is loseing about 1 gal a day I top it off and check PH/EC once a day it almost never needs adjusting so that is really nice.

Nearing the end. Defoliated and pulled apart the mass of buds that had all grown into a single main cola. I didn't notice but there were multiple buds all cramed together, blocking out light to the inside. After pulling them apart and carefully tying them down I have been able to increase the airflow, trichome, and overall size while also decreasing the excess nitrogen that had built up in those cramped bud sites. Did all this about 5 days ago and ahe is getting even better. Just a few days left. Also, I cut off a little piece yesterday just cause I'm so desperate. Lol. Next update will be harvest!

Hi all, Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 Week 12 Jan 1 - Jan 7 I am so happy seeing how my girls are developing. All it's going great. 2 waterings of 8ltr on 03/01 no runoff and second on 06/01 9.5ltr! Runoffs PH at 6.2. Purchased larger dehumidifier and installed on 03/01 instantly humidity decreaseed from 55-59 to 50-55 on avg. and at night from 62-69 to 54-60. Light from 01/01 on max power output 110 watts. Nutes slightly adjusted. Buds on both girls gaining size, weight. Trichomes on Athena mostly milky and clear with only very few ambers. Xena mostly 50/50 clear and milky, They are smelling gorgeously, not sure if I should smoke or eat them first. Next week will still feed with nutes and keep an eye on trichomes development but it seems that girls are not in a hurry at all. That's okay me neither 😁 Stay tuned for next week entry very soon! Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

The plants have stopped stretching. The Ph value keeps falling so I add PH + every time I pour and water with a PH value of 8 xD. I'm thinking about buying a small 100 watt LED panel. The light distribution is very uneven

Ending the veg phase healthy and strong! Wow the garden is thriving! Started the week with a compost tea brew and wow growth exploded with vigor! By the end of the week, both Heady OG and TKO have filled in the scrog netting and the canopy is more than ready for the two-week stretch! Also slightly increased VPD levels. As for the veg tent, been on auto-pilot. Basic super-cropping and topping to keep the canopy low and even. The Heady OG and TKO clones are still rooting in the propagation dome and plan on check for roots next week. Anyways, the 12/12 flip begins tomorrow! Maximum warp Ensign! Engage!

Been researching more on compost teas and with about week before the flip to flower, think it’s time to brew up some compost tea! --- Using the TeaLab brewing rig to bubble and mix the stew! --- Going to attempt to brew a fungal dominant tea using a modified compost tea recipe from Dr. Elaine Ingham. --- Unlike most compost teas, her recipe lacks molasses and sugars which promotes a more fungal dominant brew instead of anaerobic bacterial microbes. --- Okay let's start brewing! --- Assembled and installed the TeaLab brewing rig into a 5-gallon bucket and secured the unit using a garden support wire. --- Have a few empty buckets under the main brew bucket for insulation. Not really needed (pretty warm in the lung room), but why not. --- If the pump ever fails, to prevent flood-backs, made sure to place the unit above the water level and resting above the brew bucket. - [10:37]: Filled the 5-gallon bucket with 1-gallon of RO water. --- Plugging the pump in to start the bubbling! --- Have to say that the unit is a bit louder than anticipated, but wow the bubbles are quite vigorous and could not achieve the same level of aeration with air-stones. - [10:46]: Time to pre-condition the water! --- Since I'm using RO water, both chlorine and chloramine shouldn't be an issue. But to neutralize any remaining chlorine and chloramine, going to brew with humic acid for a bit. ------ Added 1/32tsp of Big 6 Micronutrients [+ Humic Acid] ------ Added 1/2tsp of Pure Protein Dry [Fish Hydrolysate Aminos] --------- [ BREWED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ] - [10:57]: Okay!

Heady OG is filling in the tent beautifully! --- Wow TKO is completely filled with tops and she needs to be flipped to flower! She is going to be a beast in a week! Going to be an epic flower cycle! --- Time to tuck and pluck! - [18:58]: Tucked the top growth under the scrog netting. --- Defoliated more of the larger fan leaves. --- Cleaned the bottom for both girls. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- Now both ladies have clean legs! --- Wow TKO’s main stalk is thick! Really wish I started her in a 30-gallon. Oh well. A 20-gallon should still be more than enough soil. I think. --- Anyways! - [19:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 49% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 48% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:26]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. --- All WittFlow units are also connected. Although 2 units are getting low. - [19:42]: Okay time to feed the compost tea! --- The compost tea has been brewing for about 8hrs. --- Before feeding the tea, ------ Added 1/8tsp of: --------- Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --------- Recharge --------- Lotus Cal/Mag ------ Added 1tsp of Horticultural Coconut --------- [ BREWED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ] - [19:57]: Okay! Tea is ready! Let’s go! --- Unhooked and removed the compost bag before squeezing the water out (best I could). - [20:15]: Emptied the compost into a plastic bin. --- Top-dressed the compost onto the top of both the 20-gallon and 30-gallon pot in the 4x4 tent. - [20:28]: Time to feed! --- Poured 6 cups straight through a plastic coffee filter and into a pump sprayer. - [20:55]: Misted the 20-gallon pot’s straw mulch. --- Sprayed the straw evenly. --- Repeated this process for the 30-gallon pot. --- Also swapped out the yellow sticky traps. --- The remaining solution (~2 cups) was poured into a pitcher and used on the house plants. --- Wow using a coffee filter has completely eliminated the clogging issue I was getting with the popcorn tea (almost bought a new pump). Will be using the filter from now on for all future teas. - [21:00]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! Vegging mamas are looking both flat healthy! --- Swapped out the yellow sticky traps. Pots are looking great and no signs of flooding! - [21:07]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Growth looks green! --- Heady is droopy but leaves look healthy. --- TKO is looking perky, but does have signs of yellowing. Not too worried because this can be a sign of rooting. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. --- Opened another vent. Now both side vents are open. - [21:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Wow what a day! Since this was my first compost tea brew, hoping I didn’t frack anything up. --- Anyways, Onwards Ensign!

All mothers are vegging beautifully! --- Trained and super-cropped the top growth. Dropped the canopy down about 4-5 inches. --- Pots also look great and gnat free! - [22:48]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clone growth is looking healthy for the most part! --- Heady OG is still completely green, but looks really droopy. --- TKO is looking nice and healthy! She started to relocate nutrients from the lower (yellowing) leaves for rooting and top growth. Pretty sure she’s ready to be transplanted. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [20:55]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Plan to check the clones tomorrow for roots!

Time to check for roots! --- Both Heady OG and TKO have no signs of rooting quite yet. --- Going to let them continue to root in the dome and will check back in a few more days. - [16:25]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking great my girls! --- Heady OG is continuing to spread out to the left and she is almost there! --- TKO is raging! She keeps perking up and am running out of room in the back area of the tent! - [17:22]: Trained and tucked the top growth. --- Made sure to keep TKO’s growth to the back two quadrants. --- Nice! This canopy is going to be full soon! Hyped for flower! Let’s go! --- An advantage of scrogging, is once the plants reach the netting, both the heights and PPFD readings remain unchanged from week to week! ------ All phenos were still around 361 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 23.39 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle (at ~326.5W). ------ All phenos were still about 21.5" tall. ------ All phenos were still about 31" away from the grow light. - [17:25]: Removed the plant support wire which was used to train Heady OG. --- Now that she is fully being pancaked by the netting, the plant wire is unnecessary. - [17:27]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 50% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 48% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 46% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 43% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [17:32]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking beautiful in the veg garden! All mamas are looking perky beginning to stretch upwards again! --- All pots look great and no gnats! - [17:34]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clone growth looks pretty good, but Heady OG still looks stressed (but leaves are still green). --- TKO is yellowing but looks perky! --- Sort of worried about Heady OG not rooting. --- Decided to foliar feed some Clonex Solution. - [17:40]: Filled a measuring cup with a cup of RO water. ------ Added 1mL of Clonex Clone Solution --- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a spray bottle. --- Misted the solution onto the top growth of both plants. --- Also closed all vents on the propagation dome. - [17:47]: Misted the top growth for all mother plants in the tent. --- These ladies are permanently in veg, the added nitrogen foliar should help with growth. - [20:00]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [20:06]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

~ 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'm continuing with running the AirCube reservoir for 5-6 days between drain/refill, only topping off with well water and checking.adjusting the PH. The beginning nutrient strength is 800ppm, and over the course of the 5-6 days it has only been dropping approx. 150ppm's. The #3 plant has some issues with leaf tips 'clawing' and leaves 'taco-ing'. Unfortunately, with this system you're giving all the plants the same thing. If a plant in the run requires less/more nutrients, or prefers less frequent feeds/watering you're shit out of luck. That being said, the #3 looks crappy but it is what it is and we'll see how she deals with her issues. The #2 plant continues to be the stand out of the three and she's on a mission, getting frostier by the day! 11/24- Yesterday I raised the HLG 650R to it's maximum height available putting it approx. 30" above canopy. In addition, I reduced the power to 80% to see if it had any effect on the #3 plants condition. I'll give it 2-3 days to see if there is any change in her appearance, at which point I'll decide what to do with the light output. The #2 pheno is getting super frosty and is looking like a champ! The #1 plant is just starting to get her 'frost engine' going and I'm hoping she'll follow in the #2's footsteps! 11/26- Tomorrow I will once again be draining, cleaning and refilling the AirCube Reservoir with 80L of well water. After filling, I'll be adding Plagron nutrients to a 800 ppm solution strength, then will adjust the ph to 5.6-5.8 @70-71℉ . 11/28- There goes three weeks of flower for the Strawberry Gorilla's and I wish they looked better, but it is what it is. I still have hope for the #2 and possibly the #1 but anything can happen so we'll have to wait and see how these girls turn out... fingers crossed!😎🤞 💚 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!💚
