~ 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 •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •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: 10/1- Setting up the AirCube system when off without a hitch, with very easy to understand directions. I did have one issue, the Drain Petcock on the 25g reservoir was broken during shipping. After a phone call to GrowAce, they had a replacement one on its way to me which I received in just a couple of days! I did however make one addition to the system. I placed a pair of air-stones, one in the Reservoir and the other in the Distribution Bucket to really oxygenate the water. I started all my seeds by first soaking them in tap water for 12 hours, then transferred them into pre-moistened (6.3ph) peat pellets. I placed the pellets in half Solo cups in the tent with 24hrs of light under which they sprouted within 48 hours. I kept the tent temperatures between 80-84℉, the RH at 65-70% and made sure that the pellets stayed moist, not wet. 10/3- All of the Tropicana Cookies are looking healthy and have good color and vigor! I'll be moving them into their fabric pots which have already been pre-moistened in the next day or two, or as soon as I see roots emerging from the pellet. 10/5- Today I moved all three Tropicana Cookies into the fabric pots, adding some Xtreme Gardening's Mykos into each hole before placing the peat pellets. I have the HLG 650R set to 15% and hung 30" from the seedlings. Tent temperatures are 80-84℉ with RH running 65-70%. 10/7- Well there's the first week on the books for these three little ladies and they're looking fantastic. I'll be giving them their first feed this coming week and they should start to really take off... stay tuned! 😎👍❤️ 💚 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!💚

Erken veg photo bitkimin son haftalarına girerken gübre oranlarımız arttırıp overdrive a başlandı. Sömeklerin daha tatmin edici şişmesini bekliyorum grow boyunca organik gübre biobizz kullanıldı yapraklar izlenerek call mag takviyesi aralarda verildi. Hps ısıgı enselerine indirilip strese sokmadan maximum değerleri almayı hedefliyorum yerim dar oldugundan dolayı topragım 10 lt ;)

🌸 Week 6 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The RollerCoaster Haze ladies continue to impress, towering, branching, and now fully focused on flower production. At this stage, the stretch has slowed down and the energy is clearly moving into bud development. Both phenos are responding exactly as expected: stacking, swelling, and pushing out white pistils everywhere. 📸 Media Update This week we worked mostly with video content, editing clips to show different angles of the canopy, along with a handful of carefully edited photos. I also tested the GoPro inside the tent. While it captures the energy of the grow, the challenge remains: grow lights and reflective walls can be tricky for sensors. It’s part of the experimentation, learning what tools work best for documenting the journey. 🌱 Plant Development • Flowers: Buds are bulking up, calyxes swelling, and pistils standing tall and abundant. • Colas: Long, thick colas are forming, showing that the plants are putting their full effort into bloom. • Health: Leaves remain vibrant and healthy, a great sign that the nutrition plan is balanced. • Size: The girls are still ginormous, filling the tent with their structure and presence. 💧 Feeding & Environment The recipe continues as in Week 5 with the Aptus + Plagron combo, fine-tuned to deliver exactly what they need in mid-flower. The soil’s foundation combined with targeted liquids creates harmony between root uptake and flower demands. • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temps: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 The girls show no stress signs, just steady flower development and consistent stacking. 🔬 Educational Spotlight: What Happens in Week 6 Flower? By Week 6, the plants are deep into reproductive growth. Here’s what to expect and observe: • Bud Bulking: Calyxes swell, flowers add weight, and colas begin to take their final shape. • Pistil Production: White hairs remain abundant, showing active flower growth. Some pistils may begin to slightly darken or curl in certain spot, a natural step in maturation. • Trichome Formation: Resin heads start to appear and multiply, laying the foundation for terpenes and cannabinoids. • Nutrient Focus: Plants now require a steady supply of phosphorus and potassium to fuel flower production, while still needing calcium and magnesium for structural support. This is also a week for observation. Every genetic expresses differently, some push pistils longer, others start swelling earlier, some stretch more, others pack tighter. It’s a reminder that growing is about watching, adapting, and learning from each cycle. 🌟 Looking Ahead • Expect even more bulking in the next two weeks, as the flowers really start to pack density. • Trichome coverage will increase noticeably, and aromas will begin to intensify. • Environmental control becomes crucial — high humidity can risk mold at this stage, so keeping air moving is key. ✨ Reflection Week 6 Flower is where the RollerCoaster Haze girls show their true potential. The canopy is vibrant, the flowers are swelling, and every sign points toward a powerful finish. This is the heart of the ride — and these plants are carrying us higher with every day. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Summary 🌸 • Development: Buds bulking up, calyxes swelling, long colas forming, abundant white pistils. • Health: Vibrant leaves, strong root base, plants remain ginormous and thriving. • Feeding: Aptus + Plagron combo (no All-in-One Liquid), balanced P/K support, steady Ca/Mg. • Environment: • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temp: ~28–29°C • RH: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 • Notes: GoPro testing for photos/videos; documenting challenges with tent lighting. • Focus: Observation of pistil production, trichome development, and bud stacking. • Looking Ahead: Expect flowers to pack on more density and trichomes in the coming weeks. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Esta semana he cometido el error de añadir nutrientes y he sobrefertilizado las plantas. A partir de ahora riego con agua , 1 gota de ph- por cada 15 litros de agua y 0.1 ml de ata clean por cada litro de agua. Esto lo hare durante 2 semanas y quiza solo 1 vez mas abonare. Ademas creo haberme pasado con la cantidad de agua, reduzco el agua a 1/2 litro cada 2 o 3 dias

impressive amount of resin on the sweet and spicy scent cheese x kush !!! You cut !!!

day 43 : start of week 7 . i did some heavy defoliation in 2 rounds (yesterday and today) . i also did some more lst . i tied the secondary branches with some shoe laces :) all is good . i see more and more white pistils on top i think she finally entering flowering stage :D will update soon

It was harvested slowly. First up bud and 3-4 days later down bud harvested. Very nice harvested

Sundae Drive von Zamnesia Sie wurden in einem Glass Wasser erst aufgeweicht und nach 18Std jeweils in einen Becher mit Lightmix in einem Loch versenkt wo sie jetzt in Ruhe keimen können :) Nach knapp 2 Tagen war das erste Köpfchen zu sehen und einen weiteren Tag später haben alle 3 nach oben geschaut. Nur wir haben da eine kleine Sonderbare dabei mit nur einem Keimblatt. Ich denke das ist beim Abwurf der samenschale vielleicht abgerissen oder so, ich weis nicht, ein Rätsel Auf ins Abenteuer, lets Goo happy Growing

Familia que ansias ya sólo una semanita más y a cosechar 😁y veremos que tal a salido el fruto esta semana y la q empieza sólo e Estado regando con agua con el nivel de pH a 6 un abrazo familia y buenos humos paz

Wow, what a week. Finally installed my Inkbird humidity controller and look at the results. Massive difference having the VPD on point at 25°C and 60% RH. A video at the end shows my setup. Did a bit more supercropping this week and more defoliation to keep all tops at the same level, this will make the Scrog setup alot easier. Please like this and comment any questions or thoughts. Peace out guys. Charlie

Hi guys and welcome back to week 12 😉 The plants look pretty good but the smell is even greater! The new dehumidifier does its work and the humidity is much lower now. Before the max was 79%. Now max is 63%. And if you just could smell it!!! You would fall in love immediately 😉 I just let the pictures speak for themselves ^^

WK2F - regular scheduled watering day 2 week 2 of flower in 3x3 tent. Beginning to see first signs of bud(lets) forming on clones. Raining this week, so increased airflow and running humidifier to maintain a 53-55% ROH. LED lighting adjusted to maintain 12" distance during flower stretch. PPFD adjusted PAR to maintain range of 600-900. Scheduled IPM foliar spray. WK6V - regular scheduled watering day 6 week 6 in 2x4 tent. Raining so increased airflow and running humidifier to maintain 55-60% ROH. LED lighting set at 12" height during veg. PPFD adjusted PAR to maintain range of 400-600. Scheduled IPM foliar spray. WK1V - first full watering of Afgooey Autos in one gallons day 1 week 1 in 2x2 veg tent. 12 clones (variety of cuttings) Day 7. Day6 added 1+ cups of water to base of tray to hydrate peat pellets and closed humidity vents 90% shut. Maintain high misty humidity in dome. Clones appear fine, but no sign of rooting. Maintain current environmental conditions thru days 8-9.

Things are still picking up. I've almost got my light at it's maximum height and she keeps pushing taller. Two different phenos from what I popped. One is shorter and is really stacking on bud sights and starting to frost up. The other is trying to push almost a foot taller and seems to be about a week behind the other plant in terms of bud development. Did some defoliation a few days ago and cleaned up lower bud sites that were not going to reach the canopy.

Wet trimmed Frankie completely. I took my time with it and finished it in the evening hours of 3 days. Pictures of the cured buds will follow.

Todo bien solo q el video individual se ha perdido.

Buenas a tod@s... Seguramente ya estamos en la ante última semana... Están espectaculares todos los frutos, tanto de esta variedad como las otras, muy muy pretos como rocas, delicioso aroma y muy grandes, han crecido una exageración en una semana, se nota que comieron bien, no hay queja de mi parte hacia este cultivo, este riego con nutrientes será el último, el próximo ya es de limpieza de raíces y lo de más ya sabemos...😉 En el próximo cultivo se vienen cosas nuevas... Mientras tanto... A disfrutar está última etapa... Siempre se disfruta haciendo esto q nos gusta, con dedicación, esfuerzo y trabajando duro siempre... A seguir creciendo 🧠😎🙌🏻. Buenos humos para tod@s nos vemos la semana q viene... 😎💀🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

Day 64 to 70 On autopilot. I have been light on the nutrients so bumped up the nutes to 810ppm this week. Forbidden Runtz 1 is coming close, the buds are getting THICC and hard. I'm keeping a close eye on the trichomes. It's almost go time. I predict 2-3 more weeks for the rest but I don't know anything Feeding around 750ppm this week. Lightening up on Nutes for FR1 at ~350ppm.

Another quiet week, plants are slowly loosing lower shaded leaves as expected, luckily they aren’t growing any taller anymore. Will be surprised if no foxtails appear as the par is 1300-1400 around some of the taller colas. My lights in total are using 810w, as I have had to dim the light at the front down by 30% a couple weeks ago. DWC really is a breeze during flowering, barely any work to do, kinda miss having a reason to go in there for anything other than observing 😊 Happy growing all ✌️

Nos vamos a cosecha 🙌🏾🙌🏾
