~ 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!

The #2 plant continues to be ahead of the other two, and is really frosting up nicely. The #2 and #3 plants look pretty crappy, and after examining some other plants in the tent I've got a good idea of the issue. The fabric pots that the plants are in are supposed to 'air prune' the roots, preventing them from growing outside of the pot, and instead growing a large mass inside of the pot. I pulled one of the pots from its bucket and it was disgusting, with rotting clumps of roots in the bottom of the bucket along with some nasty looking brown slime. The fabric pot also had roots growing out of it, along with that brown slime across the bottom of the pot...ugh! 12/1- Tomorrow I'll be doing another drain/clean/fill of the reservoir, after which I'll add Plagron Cocos 'A' & 'B' along with Green Sensation and Royal Rush. After adding the nutrients I'll ph the solution to 5.6-5.8 @ 70℉. 12/3- Yesterday I did the drain/fill and continue to have the Plagron nutrient level at 800ppm. The #3 plant continues to struggle, but nevertheless is flowering away and actually has pretty decent trichome production, which I wonder if the stress she's experiencing has an affect on either positively or negatively. 12/5- There is four weeks of flowering for the Strawberry Gorilla's. Although they sure could look a whole lot better, they for sure could look way worse. Hopefully, they'll start to look a bit better in the upcoming weeks... 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!💚

Good finish by cookies elephant trunk. I’m going to take on the elements and finish these outside. I’m going to fill tents out as dry tents Dr. Zymes as preventative and active pest control. No BT just 👁️ balled those worms

2024/05/12 : nothing special to do this week, but there is yellowing too early... No more height gain, stretch is over. I set DLI to 36~45 and let LED at 20 cm from the tallest cola. RH still about 65% despite deshumidificator... biggest problem (for me) with Autopot system. I hope it will be OK. 2024/05/14 : I saw burned tips, that and the yellowing made me quick flush blueberry with 20 L of rain water at ambient temperature, pH=6.0. I thought I would avoid yellowing this time... 😅 I guess last shot of PK was a bit too much : I'll go for half of it for the next one. As plant was out of its grow space, I checked it and removed a few dead leaves, nothing more to notice. It was not easy to remove and reset plant without breaking anything!

- Plants are all looking very nice at this stage. - Flowering is well under way and the buds are developing nicely throughout this week. - Have not started LSTing 5th seed and it is growing very well - Last week of the MH Light. Switch to HPS for flowering stage

🌺 Week 1 Flower – Full Speed Into Bloom Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 006 The shift has begun, and our BlueBerry girls didn’t wait for permission. By the end of the week, they were already showing pistils popping and bud sites forming, not just the promise of flowers, but flowers beginning to shape up already. We’re still in what some would call pre-flower, but let’s be honest: These girls are on the move. ⸻ 🌱 Structure, Height & Symmetry Both girls are clocking in around 57 cm, with near-mirror symmetry in structure and development. Their growth is tight, lush, and beautifully balanced, like they were clones of each other. 📣 Shout out to Zamnesia This is what great genetics look like. Stability, vigor, and uniformity that shows their heritage proudly. ⸻ 🌍 Genetic Roots – A Quick Nod to the Legend We touched on it before, but it’s worth a reminder, BlueBerry is more than a name. It’s a landrace-influenced legend, blending Thai, Afghan, and Purple heritage into a profile that’s nostalgic, rich, and full of stories. This isn’t just a plant. It’s a revival of history, growing in a modern tent. ⸻ Nutrient Transition – Start Booster Out, Top Booster In As we move into flower, we’ve adjusted the feeding plan accordingly: 🌼 Current Feed (per liter): • Regulator – 0.15 ml • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • 💧 All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Top Booster – 0.25 ml (NEW this week) Why Top Booster now? Because with bud sites forming, we’re shifting the nutrient profile to support: • Phosphorus + Potassium demands • Bloom hormone signaling • Tight flower stacking It’s a small change, but the timing is everything. And the girls are loving it. ⸻ Environmental Stats – Riding the Heat Wave • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa Yes, it’s a little high—but we’re monitoring closely. Plants are adapting well, leaves are still perky and expressive, and the structure remains lush. ✅ Coming soon: AC unit incoming to help dial this environment into a more stable and optimal range. Until then, the genetics are showing great resilience. ⸻ 💨 Airflow, Extractions & Gear Overview Even with summer heat, airflow remains dialed: • Exhaust: • 6” Spider Farmer inline with carbon filter — managed via Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 6” AeroFan inline with carbon filter — connected to TrolMaster Tent-X • Intake: • 6” fresh air intake, passive-cooled and filtered • 💡 Lighting: • Black Series 600 LED (Zone 1) • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs (Zone 2) Both managed by TrolMaster ecosystem, alongside: • 🧠 CO₂ Sensors • Temp/Humidity Probes • 💡 PPFD Sensors for real-time light data 📹 Video Room Tour Available We’ve uploaded a generic grow room tour this week, showcasing the entire grow setup, including gear, layout, controllers, and environment flow. ⸻ 🌸 What’s Next – Stretch & Structure We expect: • Stretch to continue in the next 10–14 days • Node stacking to tighten • Early trichome shimmer possibly appearing toward Week 2–3 This is a critical window for: • Monitoring internode spacing • Light height and spectrum adjustment • Fine-tuning VPD as flowering kicks into high gear ⸻ 🚫 What Not to Expect Yet: • No defoliation or major training—structure is too delicate right now • No aggressive boosts—flower development is just beginning • No topping or stress—focus is now on upward and outward bloom formation ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – BlueBerries in Bloom This run has always been about balance: Classic genetics. Modern precision. Beautiful biology. With pistils out and the tent full of energy, it’s time to watch this legendary strain write her next chapter. From landrace roots to LED-powered flower—our BlueBerries are in full stride. Let them shine. 🌸✨ With love, care, and growing admiration, Your ever-faithful garden friend DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

This week was a bit crazy with the sun but the plant still looks good and healthy. Any feed back will be appreciated thanks.

Harvested on day 88. The plant had a really strong smell, and I ran into some issues during drying because the temperature dropped, and humidity went up a lot. It dried over 16 days, turned out nice and dense, and kept its sweet, citrusy aroma.

Starting to get strong smelling when you move them around. HANDS OFF lol. Will do tea next week coming along nice. Both the pie is was crystaly and #3 runtz is way crystaly! All runtz have big weight, all pie is about the same. Should have a decent harvest!!! Let me know what you guys think!!!

Nach wie vor nahe zu täglich mit knapp 200ml gegossen pro Pflanze. Heute sind mir die leicht nach oben gewölbten Blätter aufgefallen, hab die Lichtstärke um 25% erhöht auf 50%, Abstand blieb bei 25cm (Hersteller Angaben) Letzter Tag der Woche 2, Licht auf 75% und 30cm Abstand

Week 16 Gorilla Glue #4 4 week of blooming I added another liter of soil to the pot had roots coming out... I removed some leaves and oriented the branches better. It is still growing and is watered with 2 liters per week 1,5L on top 0,5L on bottom Week 4 Amnesia 1 1 Amnesia It is 20 centimeters high This week I did LST and removed some leaves 2 Amnesia It is now 8 centimeters high

4.14.25 2nd week of veg! Started tie down method on 4.7.25 going good. Nice healthy growth! Going to start wrapping plant around perimeter of pot.

Definitely happy with the grow and the quality of the smoke

Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th) (Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. I’m seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like it’s been ravaged by pests but I still can’t find any evidence or signs of a pest. I’m suspecting caterpillars so I’m going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time. The clones are all really lagging so they won’t be flipped until July 15th at least. I’m still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. It’s still quite gnarled and twisted. (Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. I’m going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have. (Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even. (Day 54) I’m going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. I’m first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots. I will be amending with: 5 tablespoons of nature’s pride bloom 4 tablespoons of kelp meal 2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP 2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust 2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 1 tablespoon of rock dust blend 1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite (Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if they’re stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I don’t see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I don’t think they’ve officially started flowering yet I didn’t get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

This is the week right before the 24 hour dark period and switch to 12-12 looking very healthy

Questa runtz layer cake è spettacolare.la adoro in tutto... buona di profumi ed effetto. Facile da coltivare e buona resa

H.Q. strain, love it . Thanks @fastbuds

Flipped with net about 90% full almost full now after abit of stretch. Gots change the rez today.

Se realizo podas de bajo y comienza segunda semana de LSD 25. Gran estirón al final de la semana. Temperatura se comienza a elevar hasta valores de 31 grados.
