~ 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!

Today, I started off this week with a drain/clean of the AirCube reservoir, after which I filled it with 80L of well water and added in the Plagron Nutrients (Green Sensation first, then 'A' & 'B' base nutrients, finally the Royal Rush). After the nutrients were added and the EC checked ( it's 2.0), I ph'd the solution to 5.7 @ 68℉. 12/22- I'm continuing with six feeds per day @ 900+/-ppm's, the HLG 650R is at 100% power 28" above canopy and they are getting 4 hours of additional UV during the middle of the light cycle. Tent temp's are running 68-75℉ at a RH of 40-45% and co2 levels are running 650-900ppm. 12/24- The #1 and #2 plants continue to be the better looking of the bunch, with the #2 being the 'one'. The #3 plant continues her struggle but has a generous coating of trichomes covering her flowers! 12/25- ~🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄~ 12/26- Seven weeks of flower and only a couple more to go! I'll be starting to flush these ladies in the coming week and they should all be beginning to fade soon! Hope to see you next week! Growers Love!💚 💚 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!💚

Going into week 5. DIY Scrogg net made a huge difference. The girls have grown into gorgeous ladies. Very bushy. Had to perform roughly 30% defoliation today due to fan leaves covering all the important branches. Trying to get an even canopy is much harder than expected however daily changes make a big difference. Added 5ml Calmag solution to current feed & the results are looking amazing. Life is looking pretty good at this stage!! Unfortunately, the camera pictures don't agree.

Bomb week!! All pictures/ video was takken on day 9 and i gotta say its looking wild. I Didnt expect them both to start growing so crazy. Lst really seemed to help some of these just explode with tops. I feel like compared to my first indoor run these are like a week ahead, as far flowering goes. Wich is also interesting because Double Ds can go for 9-10 weeks! Cant wait to see how these babies do there thang One problem actually i found a little bit of aphids nothing crazy but im going to continue using the growsafe insecticide/fungicide/pesticides.

One of the LCC and the RAK are little runtz, and the other LCC is growing almost twice as tall. They all look pretty healthy, and I am trying hard not to over do it with light intensity. I think in about a week or so they will go into flower.

Es wird. An den sehr heißen Tagen wird es schon mal 40 grad. Entsprechend gering die Luftfeuchtigkeit. Mit Bodenwässern und Befeuchter halte ich sie hoch. Das Stengeltraining unterstütze ich mit einem Ventilator

Not much to say :-) Everything as it should be 👍 The larger ones are the Blue Cheese and Tangie Kosher Kush, the 2 smaller ones are the Troppicana Banana. Sour Diesel, San Fernando Lemon Kush and Girl Scout Cookies are the new ones. The new ones came because unfortunately the Purple Punch and Dos Si Dos 33 didn't work :-(

🌸 Eternity Grow Cup — Week 17 (Flower Week 6) Update 🌸 The Final Stretch Begins… and It’s Frosty. What a glorious week in the tent! We’re entering Week 6 of flower, and the girls are turning into absolute crystal queens — stacking up from bottom to top with full energy, thanks to a combination of care, perfect tuning, and a whole lot of love. We’re now 17 weeks from seed, and it shows. This grow has depth, maturity, and structure. Genetics doing their part. 💡 Lighting tuned to perfection. 🌡️ Climate stable and strong. 🌊 Feeding locked in with fine-tuned accuracy. ⸻ Nutrient Mix & Reservoir Stats: This week’s reservoir was an art form — mixed with intention, tuned for results, and it shows in the plants’ response. Here’s the formula: Product. Dosage (per L) Total for 50L Regulator 0.15 ml 7.5 ml System C. 0.25 ml. 12.5 ml RO W C. 0.8 ml. 40 ml Green S. 1 ml 50 ml AIOL 2 ml 100 ml Final reservoir stats after blending and fine-tuning: • EC: 2.46 • pH: 6.22 (stabilized beautifully) • Solution Temp: 19.4°C Girls are drinking this blend like a fine vintage. Immediate response with increased vigor, color richness, and sparkling frost everywhere. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & VPD: • Temp: 29°C • Humidity: 57.1% • VPD: 1.72 kPa • CO₂: 600–1200 ppm depending on light cycles • PPFD: 900–1000 µmol/m²/s — and they’re loving every photon! We’re riding a slightly warm wave, but with perfect air movement (thanks to our vortex-style airflow), the ladies are thriving. Every leaf dances. Every cola stacks. ⸻ 💡 Light Spectrum Tuning: This week we’re pushing the Model 1s and ICL 300s to their full potential — bringing intensity up across all channels. We’re: • Ramping up deep red & far red before and after lights-on/off (15-minute transitions) • Boosting UV to bring that sticky trichome magic • Still balancing whites for full spectrum saturation • ICL 300s lighting up lower growth — no bud left behind This garden is glowing from all directions — full canopy expression from top to soil line. ⸻ ✂️ Structure, Lollipopping & Leaf Strip: After removing the SCROG nets, we did a light but effective lollipop and leaf strip. Airflow improved, light penetration increased, and the girls bounced back with pride. No stress, only elegance. ⸻ 📣 Shoutouts & Community Love: The Eternity Grow Cup is heating up, and we want to send love and mad respect to all the other growers out there — your grows are stunning, your spirits high, and your love for the plant inspiring.

3rd week of 12/12, all is well. The flowers have already a lot of trichromes. I add the Athena KP on the 23rd day of 12/12, in two days. I made a defoliation, it breathes, it grows... With the pythium I had growing, it slowed my stretch, with so much growth, it should have been more important. See you on the 28th day of 12/12

The start of the week is going well.Did some defoliation. Added a scrog net. I removed the scrog the next day, might use it if the buds need support. There’s no way to add the rabbit poo to the nutrients accurately all I did was top dress the soil with a few scoops and worked it in the soil lightly. Water with distilled water.

Hello! I am back! Welcome to day 76, almost the end of week seven for Poppy the Purple OG Punch. I am not going to be able to compete in the contest as she is not yet ready so my first two competition entries end in total failure. Poppy has suffered multiple snapped colas in the move, and a lack of training, but she is doing okay, buds are fattening nicely. Height 82cm, she was fertigated 10l about 4 days ago, and 7.5l today.

Here our Zookies, as I anticipated, have started off great and are starting to give their best In this diary you will find the plant worked with the techniques in this case the first topping was done, we cleaned everything else creating the Mainfold and we are going to work everything with the main lining. We are at the first topping and we have two mini branches growing. The other one you will find in the diary next worked without the application of techniques that involve cuts to preserve its speed. Comparison is the salt of experience. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhiza Mix (4gr in the mix, 1 gr under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l of Power Roots - 1 ml/l of Pure Zym - 1 ml/l of Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l of Alga Grow I have doubts about the compatibility of Pure Zym with mycorrhizae. If in doubt, ask the experts, do not mix too much at random. https://plagron.com/en The doubts about the compatibility Pure Zym / Mycorrhizae have been dispelled, they can go well together according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html Try this variety, it is a top strain of the last few years very high level of thc ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11174-zamnesia-seeds-zookies-auto.html Brief description of Zamnesia // The result of the cross between Animal Cookies, GG#4 and ruderalis, this compact variety produces top quality buds, maintaining all the charm of a modern US hybrid. Thanks to the hard work of the Zamnesia genetics team, Zookies Automatic is easy to grow, fast flowering and exceptionally vigorous. Regardless of whether you grow indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, if you are looking for a stable autoflowering strain that is quick to harvest, Zookies Automatic is definitely the one for you. Like all Zamnesia autoflowers, Zookies Auto promises rapid harvests of top-quality bud with minimal effort. And she delivers on that promise. After germination, Zookies Automatic plants grow vigorously for around 3–4 weeks. At the end of the pre-flowering phase, plants typically reach a height of between 90–110cm, depending on the size of the pot. You can find the whole world of growing on Zamnesia and more, just check out the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colours. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... p.s. no hermaphrodites so far, can you growers say the same? ---- // www.zamnesia.com

Growing fast! So my goal is to have a few main branches, and make them as thick as possible. Want to see if this creates larger colas. Added silica for 1 feeding so far. The stuff raises PH quite a bit FYI. Added it first before all other nutes. Also feed Recharge a day after watering while soil still moist. Stress techniques - - Super cropped a lot more. I would bend harshly without breaking in between each node just before watering. Did it on all stems at once, entire plant looked so sad but perked right back up later in the day. Maybe I'm triggering it's survival mode because growth seems to speed up after initial stress. - I keep taking off new nodes as they appear to keep the growth structure I want. I'm taking something off almost everyday and might be the most stressful thing I'm doing. - The tight ring around the base of the stem is showing heavy scaring and buildup. I'm keeping it on so it stays tied down, and to see how the plant deals with it. I like to think the plant thinks it's bugs attacking its stem. I have noticed the main stem hardening up. - First week I did a heavier feeding. Want to see how far I can push the nutes without burning the tips. No tip burn yet apart from some light stress (maybe). Crazy how this 100 watt light is doing. You think 100 isn't enough but it most definitely is. At least for 1 plant in tent.
