Well fuck me sideways, SBG may have been right. A noticeably large cola exists between these 2 test plants, and it looks to belong to non defo. ... I may have fucked up, but lets wait to find out!!!! Thanks for looking

This was my very first indoor grow in my cupboard with my 1 strain Do-Si-Wine and the other 1 Sunset-Sherbet. Growing the Do-Si-Wine was very fun and this strain especially is also quite tricky to LST because during the Vegetation the plant grows long and slinky, because of this I experienced a snap on week 6. (Here are my notes of the 6th Week) 30th September 2020 ( 11cm in height ) The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very beautiful grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds. (Notes Done) So when I harvested on the 29 December 2020 (Week 19) I have definitely learned a lot about this strain, this strain is extremely exotic and is impossible to find and growing this strain was such a blessing as well being able to smoke top shelf exotic weed straight out of your Cupboard

We planted a second Jack Herer Auto from Quebec Cannabis Seeds in a 1 gallon pot as an experiment to see how it does compared to our jack herer auto in the 3 gallon pot. We wanted to see which plant would give us the best yield for the space available. This will help us decide how we want to do our next few rounds of grows and if we want a SOG or just have a few big plants in the tent.

03/23/25: I’m very pleased with the progression of this grow so far. All five plants are showing consistent and vigorous growth, and each one has maintained the same level of vigor and size relative to the others since sprouting. This consistency is a good early sign of genetic stability and uniform structure, which will help with canopy management as we move further into veg. At this point, each plant is developing its 4th and 5th nodes, which is a key marker in early vegetative growth. Once the 5th node is fully established, I’ll consider topping or training, depending on the growth structure and the phenotype expression of each plant. After removing the humidity domes last week, I noticed that the first set of true leaves—which had been sitting in high humidity—developed browning on the edges. This is a common reaction when leaves are exposed to open air after having retained too much surface moisture. Fortunately, this issue was limited to the oldest leaf set. All new growth has adjusted perfectly to the environment inside the tent, showing healthy development and no further signs of stress. The plants’ deep green color indicates that they are receiving sufficient nitrogen, which is essential during this stage of growth. Additionally, some of the larger fan leaves are beginning to curl slightly inward, which may look concerning at first, but is actually a natural response to airflow. The plants are adjusting to the oscillating fan in the tent—modifying their leaf shape to be more aerodynamic. This airflow helps: • Strengthen stem tissue through gentle mechanical stress • Promote root zone development as the plant adjusts its internal resource allocation • Increase resilience to environmental fluctuations So far, no roots are visible at the bottom of the starter pots, but I expect them to show in the next couple of days. As soon as they do, I’ll transplant each plant into 1-gallon AirPots. AirPots encourage rapid root pruning and horizontal expansion, which leads to more efficient nutrient uptake and a healthier root system. Once the transplant into AirPots is complete, I’ll provide a full update along with new photos showing their root development, new environment, and how they respond post-transplant. Everything is looking on track, and I’m excited to see how each of these phenotypes continues to express themselves over the next phase. 03/25/25: Today I relocated all five plants from the 2x2 seedling tent into their permanent home: the 4x4 AC Infinity grow tent. This is an important environmental shift, so I’m allowing the plants some time to adjust before making any further changes like transplanting. They’re now sitting under the AC Infinity S44 grow light, which is currently set to 20% power. The light is positioned 24 inches (approximately 61 cm) above the canopy. According to my budget PAR meter, the plants are receiving around 350 PPFD, which is a safe and effective intensity for young vegging plants still acclimating to their new space. Although the original plan was to transplant them into 1-gallon AirPots around this time, I’ve decided to delay that by a couple of days. Environmental shifts—like new lighting, airflow patterns, and spatial layout—can stress young plants, so I want to give them time to adjust before introducing transplant stress. This move also gave me a chance to set up the AC Infinity AI+ Controller, which I won in a contest last year (huge thanks to AC Infinity). So far, my first impressions are positive: • Setup was just as smooth as their other controllers. • It’s already doing a great job managing the environment passively. • I haven’t explored all of its automation features yet, but I’m excited to see how much precision it can offer, especially for managing VPD and dialing in climate conditions throughout veg and flower. Once the plants have had time to settle into the new environment, I’ll transplant them into their 1-gallon AirPots and provide a full update with photos.

-4/30/23 Start of week --Week 6 -5/1/23 (Day 44) --Observations: getting clustered in the middle, still growing at a good rate --Changes: removes some shade leaves -5/2/23 (Day 45) --Changes: added new guiders --Comments: some new guiders were added to first set of side branches, should help lengthen branches and make some space for the other ones. -5/3/23 (Day 46) --Changes: removed two of the branches (used for clones), added new guiders --Comments: to free up space two branches were removed, the remaining spade leaf branch and the branch on the bottom side of the main stem. these branches were used as potential clones, one might not survive because the stem is short and curved but the other will most likely take root. after branch removal new guiders were added to pull down the remaining vertical branch, also guiders were placed to influence second set of side branches. -5/6/34 (Day 49) --Observations: starting to get clustered again --Changes: defoliation, added new guiders --Comments: removed several shade leaves to free up space, also added some guiders to secondary branches to try and keep them from growing into each other during the pre-flower stretch. tomorrow will be the start of flower cycle, the light is getting set to 12/12 light/night at the end of today. will not be removing any leaves or branches during the first three weeks of flower cycle, at the end of week three a defoliation will be done if needed. -5/6/23 End of Week

~ 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: 11/5- Well here we go into the second week of flower for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! All three plants are now in flower, with the #2 & #3 ahead by about a week. I have done LST on all three, tying down branches with horticulture wire. I've also done some defoliation on each plant as they got extremely bushy and were getting zero light down into the lower sections of them. All have responded extremely well to the training and are looking great! Tomorrow I will empty and clean the reservoir along with the 'brain bucket' as the water has really gotten funky and has an odor that I don't like. Going forward, I'm going to be doing weekly changes on the reservoir where I'll empty/clean/refill and add fresh nutrients. In between changes I'll just be topping off the reservoir with straight water and only checking the PH. 11/7- Yesterday I emptied, cleaned/disinfected and refilled the reservoir and 'brain bucket' with well water. After filling, I added Plagron's Cocos 'A' and 'B' in equal portions, Green Sensation, Royal Rush and Power Roots. I also added a dose of silica to this batch @ 1.2ml/g. The plants are all doing alright, the #3 does have some spotting beginning on her leaves in in margins, and has never had the darker green of the other two pheno's. 11/9- I'm continuing to adjust the LST wires on all three plants to try and keep as much light penetration down into the centers of the plants which has been working well. I have also removed a shade leaf here and there when necessary. The plants are really doing well in this AirCube system and I'm slowly getting a better handle on its 'in's & out's'. I did also check the ppm's of the return solution to see if there was a wide variance from what was going in, and all was good with only a 50-100ppm difference. 11/11- The spotting on the #3 pheno has cleared up nicely, and she's the tallest of the three plants @ 24". The #1 and #3 plants, although not as tall, have flowers that are getting a beautiful dark purple coloration in them, while the #2 pheno's flowers are pure white, with only a slight hint of purple coloration showing. Tomorrow I will be doing a drain/clean/refill on the AirCube system, along with fresh nutrients, which the girls should really enjoy! There's two weeks of flower behind these girls, with another six to eight to go which will be getting more exciting as the weeks progress... I can't wait!😎 💚 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!💚

Smoked those buds I chopped off last week, lovely high, long lasting. Really strong diesel smell. The bottom half of the try is drying up, a couple of branches were completely dry, others had a bit of dry buds. I've removed those dry branches and will be adding a question to try to understand what is going on with those branches. I had the same thing on the Peach Puree CBD and was told it was because of wrong watering, some roots drying up but I doubt this is the case here, she was watered well and not drying up, she also has some mulch on top and can't see that the pot is drying up she is also drinking very little water. Another theory could be because the light isn't reaching those lower branches, so they are giving up. Did some defoliation on the top part too, buds are growing well, can't wait for her to finish already.

So we are on the start of week 4 of life for these fine ladies !! They've finally grown outta their rut have caught up to the other ladies in the room quite quickly !! This will be their last week in the solo cup as the start of next week I will x-plant into their final homes !! Im starting to get excited to see what full swing veg will look like for these ladies !! They have started to form up 5 finger leaves so it will be no time at all now till I got some nice bushy ladies !! I've also given them names , Ivy and Kat !! A big thank you to everyone who takes the time to stop in and check out the diary !! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#19V Ladies are growing along nicely . Video update release . Day#2 since watering 1/2 Cup Day#20V These ladies are just thirsty now !!! Watered 1/2 Cup each at 500PPM Day#21V Pictures N/A. These Ladies are just exploding in growth !! I'm very excited to transplant them ! Day#1 since watering 1/2 Cup at 500PPM Day#22V I can't believe how well these ladies are growing now for how they took their time at the start !! Transplanted into 3 gallon . Watered 3/4 Cup each. Day#23V Ladies love their new homes , I'm going to be using base nutrients from now on get the nitrogen pumping ! Day#1 Since watering 3/4 Cup each. Day#24V Im going to be training these ladies shortly they are growing nicely just waiting for a new more nodes :D :D . Day#2 Since watering 3/4 Cup each Day#25V Picture's N/A . Ladies are starting to get thirstier and thirstier . Watered 1 Cup each at 520PPM ( 1.5ml/l Micro , Grow , Bloom ) Going to reduce to 1ml/l as of next feed. Recap : The ladies went from solo cups to their final homes this week going to be looking at topping them and starting to train them as of next week ! I found that mixing 1.5ml/l was to strong for the ladies so for the next feed cycle I'm going to be reducing their feeds to 1ml/l of each Grow Bloom Micro .Other then that this week went find and things are picking up !

Another week and the tent is bursting with a very sweet candy citrus aroma, then bam your hand hit a nug and it's like the cotton candy mod stepped in. I've stop using silica now since I'm two week out from harvesting.

Back Again , well the FBT09/Sour Diesel plants are looking fine . The normal plant is looking really good and has very distinct spiked leaves . It also has a slightly tighter internodal spacing than the its sisters all except for Tester 2 which is the bushiest. The other plant (polyploid) is also bushy but in a mutant abstract type growth pattern , It has two heads even tho I never topped it . 👽 This is a Freaky plant hope it produces some freaky Buds 😝 I gave the girls a feed of Mr B's Green Trees Bloom Mix (third of a cup per pot) and a qtr tspoon of Great White. Thats it for this weeks update Be Back Next Year.👍

These girls are looking good, they are slowly streching at a good pace. They are still on a 6.4-6.8 ph which they are loving. No burnt tips from over feeding. There branching is good, stems are thick and sturdy, dont think I'm going to need support. So they get fed & inoculated once a week (@900-1100/ph:6.4-6.6)on Tuesdays and watered (@170-220ppm/ph:6.4-6.5)(acti-vara/cal-mag(2ml/gal.)) some times I dont have to use a buffer (ph+/-).

Sono emozionato! Tra poco sarà il momento di raccogliere per queste ragazze e per questa White Runtz dal fiore gigante! Ho notato anche una mutazione poliploide su un ramo inferiore 😄💚domani scatterò una foto che ancora non l’avevo fatta. Cercherò di raccogliere in base alla luna 🌜 intorno al 20 marzo e aspettando che la resina riempia i calici di questa super pianta, sono curioso di vedere il peso oltre che a tutto il resto 😈👀
