With the majority of trichomes now turned milky with some turning Amber, i have decided to begin a 10 day flush using nothing but ph balanced water. Doing a shorter than normal flush as the plants with deficiencies don't have much nutes to use up.

Ernte!

2000 ml alle 2 Tage PH-Wert: 6 EC-Wert: 1,6 Temperatur: 22ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit 62% Schädlingsbekämpfung: Nematoden PPFD: 510 µmol/m²/s DLI: 33 Düngemittel: Mineralischer Dünger 3,5-6-6 Besonderheiten: Wurden direkt in die erde gepflanzt in einer Kokos-Quelltabletten. -Tag 71 Heute haben wir sie mit 2000 ml Wasser gegossen, angereichert mit 1,5 ml Calmag, 4 ml Canna PK 13/14, 2 ml 3,5-6-6, 1 ml Plagron Green Sensation, 1ml Plagron Power Buds, sowie 0,32 ml HY-PRO Generator. Der EC-Wert betrug 1,650 mS/cm und der pH-Wert lag bei 5,8 😚 -Tag 73 Heute haben wir sie mit 2000 ml Wasser gegossen, angereichert mit 1,5 ml Calmag, 6 ml Canna PK 13/14, 2 ml HY-PRO Epic Blast sowie 0,32 ml HY-PRO Generator. Der EC-Wert betrug 1.540 mS/cm und der pH-Wert lag bei 6 Ihre Buds werden immer dichter und sie riecht sehr gut 😍 -Tag 75 Heute haben wir bei ihr den pH-Wert kontrolliert, und er liegt bei 6,6. Der EC-Wert lag bei 580. Wir haben ihr Wasser mit einem pH-Wert von 5,7 sowie Mikroorganismen mit Weizensirup gegeben. -Tag 77 Heute haben wir ihr wieder de Runoff Kontrolliert und er ist nach wie vor bei 6,6, wir werden ihr heute wieder Dünger geben. Ihr Buds werden immer Kompakter und sie hat einen Sehr intensiven Geruch bekommen 😍

At this point, I’m wondering if there was something I could have done earlier to avoid the significant height difference between the two plants. Jack Herer turned out compact, while Northern Lights grew taller, with buds more scattered and spaced out. A few weeks ago, I did some lollipopping to remove very low, underdeveloped buds, and also some defoliation to help light reach areas that were shaded. I’ve been really struggling with the Berlin summer. I can’t get the tent temperature below 28°C. Sometimes the humidity outside the tent is higher than I’d like, but since I don’t have a dehumidifier, I usually just leave it as is, especially since it rarely stays above 55% for too long. Just a quick note about the nutrient Vegan Phosphor Boost: I’m following the recommended dosage of 3g per 10L of pot size (not per liter of water). Unfortunately, GrowDiaries only allows nutrient input based on volume per liter of water, so I can’t log it exactly as used.

Week 7 is going smoothly so far. The flooding issue has subsided and the clones seem to be really taking off now. I'm excited to get back from vacation and really see my girls and my reservoir conditions after a 2 week hiatus.

Week 14! I am starting to get really excited about this plant! She is plumping up and producing a lot of trichomes! Smell is very enjoyable. Fruity, sweet and lemony are smells that come to mind. Doing minor defoliation if I see leaves shading buds.

🌿 Woche 4 – Vegetative Phase (27. Oktober – 2. November 2025) Nach drei Wochen stabiler Entwicklung ging es in Woche 4 in die entscheidende Aufbauphase. Die Pflanzen haben sich sichtbar verdichtet, die Kronen geschlossen, und die Spider Farmer SE3000 liefert bei 55 % Leistung (≈ 480 µmol/m²/s) gleichmäßiges Licht über die gesamte Fläche. Am 27. Oktober war dann der große Eingriff fällig: erstes Topping und leichte Entlaubung bei allen sechs Pflanzen. Das Ziel: strukturierter, flacher Wuchs – die Basis für das kommende LST-Training und ein gleichmäßiges Canopy. 🗓️ Chronologie Woche 4 27.10. ✂️ Erstes Topping + Entlaubung Alle 6 Pflanzen getoppt (oberste Nodie entfernt). Je 1–2 untere Blätter/Triebe entfernt. Keine Stresssymptome danach. 28.10. 🌱 Erholungsphase Blätter wieder aufgerichtet, neue Spitzen sichtbar. Kein Gießen. Licht 55 % @ 60 cm Abstand. 29.10. Kontrolle & Beobachtung Erde weiter getrocknet. Wurzeln an Topfböden sichtbar → Umtopf-Zeitpunkt erreicht. 30.–31.10. (geplant) 💡 Klima & Licht (Woche 4) 27.–29.10. 55 % 60 cm 25–26 °C 55–60 % Optimales vegetatives Klima, keine Hitzespitzen. 30.–31.10. 50 % 65 cm 24–25 °C 60–65 % Nach Umtopfen zur Stressminderung. 01.–02.11. 60–65 % 60 cm 25 °C 60 % Wieder Aufbau der Lichtintensität nach Erholung. 🌱 Strain-Layout / Pflanzenstatus Front L/R Cherry Poppers 🍒 Kompakt, kräftig, gleichmäßiger Austrieb nach Topping Bereit für LST ab 5.–6. Nov. Center-L (gelb) Karate Kit 🥋 Etwas gedrungener, dunkles Grün, kräftige Mitte Wuchs leicht langsamer, aber stabil. Center-R (terracotta) Lemon Orange 🍋 Größte Pflanze, sehr vital, breite Blätter Beim Umtopfen leicht tiefer setzen. Back L/R White Gorilla Haze ×2 🦍 Buschig, dichte Struktur, kräftige Stiele Leichte Mg-Symptome → Bittersalzgabe nach Umtopfen. 💧 Gieß- & Nährstoffplan (Übersicht Woche 4 + Vorschau) 24.10. Düngung (vor Woche 4) Orgatrex 2 ml/L 0,9–1,1 L Letztes Vorgießen in 5 L-Töpfen 27.–29.10. — — — Keine Bewässerung, Substrat trocknet für Umtopfen. 30.–31.10. Anwässerung Bactrex 1 g/L 0,8–1 L Nur zur Wurzelaktivierung, kein Orgatrex. 03.–04.11. Erste Nachdüngung Orgatrex 1,8 ml/L + Bittersalz 0,5 g/L (nur WGH) 1 L pH 6,2–6,4, langsames Angießen. 07.–08.11. Nur Wasser — 1–1,2 L Erhaltung der Bodenfeuchte, keine Zugabe. 🧠 Beobachtungen & Pflege Erholungsphase: 1–2 Tage nach Topping leicht verlangsamtes Wachstum, danach starke Triebneubildung. Bodenleben: aktiv, feine Myzelstrukturen sichtbar. Keine Mangelanzeichen: außer leichtem Mg-Bedarf bei White Gorilla Haze. LST: Beginn voraussichtlich 03.–06. November (sobald neue Triebe 4–5 cm lang sind). Entlaubung: keine weitere vor Mitte November. ✅ Fazit – Woche 4 (27. Oktober – 2. November) Diese Woche war der Übergang vom Aufbau zur Strukturphase. Das Topping am 27. Oktober hat den Wuchs geformt und die Basis für das spätere Training gelegt. Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Triebe, gesunde Farbe und aktives Wurzelwachstum. Mit dem Umtopfen zum Wochenende beginnt die letzte große Wachstumsphase der Vegi-Stage. Vitales, harmonisches Wachstum, starker Wurzeltrieb, perfekte Vorbereitung für den „großen Umzug“.

~ 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: 10/29- Here we go into the fifth week from seed for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies and the #2 and #3 are just starting to flower! The #1 is just starting to show signs of pre-flower, so she'll not be very far behind the other two. Today I adjusted the feeding schedule for the Tropicana Cookies 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. I'm curious as to how much, if any, stretch these girls will have... I guess time will tell. 10/31- 👻HAPPY HALLOWEED! 🎃 11/2- The Tropicana Cookies are all looking really good now. The #2 and #3 are beginning to flower, the #1 should be showing any day now. The #2 is still a bit paler than the others, but I have noticed a steady improvement in her color. I have also used some horticulture wire to do some LST on #2 and #3 to spread out their numerous side branches exposing them to more light. Our weather has finally cooled off now allowing me to keep better control over the tent temperatures. I now have the HLG 650R turned up to 100%, and hung 28" above canopy. The Tropicana Cookies remain on six 15min feeds a day, and I have adjusted the nutrient level to 900ppm @ 74℉, while maintaining a ph range of 5.9-6.4. 11/4- Well there's five weeks of growth, and one week of flower for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! They are really digging the GrowAce AirCube system, and I must say so am I! I'm getting used to the routine now of checking the reservoir, cleaning/refilling, and maintaining the environmental s which is showing in the condition of the plants. Hopefully, things will continue on this track and the end results will be epic! 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!💚

Next week, defoliación!!!

Beauty

Here we are in week six of flower and not a lot has happen this week other than the usual watering and letting her do her thing. Only trouble this week was updating GoPro had to try a few times. Other than that we got some rain in my home town and collected about 60 gallons that I'm going to use to finish the rest of the grow. Also, got my new AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 4-Inch. I was really hoping this two plants would finish before the year ended, however, it looks like they got others plans. See you guys next week.

We are through week 7 an an entering week 8 .. the smell is definitely stronger amazing an earthy smell I would say buds at thick af.. I also have different strain in tent zkittlez an dayum i can taste the rainbow!!! I stopped feeding nutrients a started flushing with unchlorinated water phd at 6.0.. checking trichromes still clear… guessing within 2 weeks we will chop once she is ready ready!!! The process is long but it is beautiful!!!!

What went well or wrong ? 😎

Hi 😊✌️💚 The FatMonkeyAuto is in the final stages of waiting for 20% brown trichomes and then it's harvest time. I can only recommend the FatMonkeyAuto. It has good growth and is better for outdoor use or tents over 2m high. Because in a 180cm tent you quickly reach the limits. It smells spicy and fruity and the buds are nice and compact. Thank you for your time 😊👍 For more just follow and like 💚 Thanks

The biggest of all girls its looking fire and starting to pumps those buds nicely now very happy with this one

Outcome was alright since i had a mite infestation for so long, still happy of what i got out of the plants! will update on dry weight and taste etc. Also that was the first time in grew with “decent” equipment, since i don’t have alot of money to spend i got these quantum boards off alibaba & i’m pretty impressed off what they are able to do!

Not a great selection. Low yield. Hopefully it will taste and smoke great as it looks.

Coming throw - we put a few in a 20liter - going for a few tiers. Tent has opened up some space from harvesting this week so should see the remainders beef up some more. Weird that I have flies in this tent. Harmless but I think the sweet aroma maybe have something g to do with it - or coffee grinds -
