I love this plant! It made some huge fan leaves and the branches are super symmetrical! It loves the higher amount of nuts. Very easy to train it, flexible branches. Looking forward to seeing if the buds will be just as big as the leaves!

This plant plus one more started to wilt earlier on in the week, I figured it was probably time to transplant seeing as they had been in the solo cups for 2 weeks. After transplant plants seemed to be happy again. I introduced amino acids this week as well. They are getting the grease spray and drench program

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~ This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end. Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal! FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts. On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4. So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System: Positives: โ€ข Well made โ€ข Easy to assemble โ€ข Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available โ€ข Easily expandable Negatives: โ€ข Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed โ€ข No way to control solution temperature in reservoir โ€ข Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days โ€ข No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not. โ€ข Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants. โ€ข Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup. All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my with you as I see my Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds enter the first week of flowering. Let me tell you, this CBD strain has exceeded my expectations in every way! First off, can we talk about how big she's gotten? I'm amazed at the growth spurt during the vegetative stage. I've been bending the leaves gently to promote an even canopy and ensure that every bud site gets enough light. She's looking so healthy and vibrant, and it just fills my heart with joy. As for nutrient boosters, I've started incorporating some key products from Aptus Holland into my feeding regimen. I've added extra phosphorus (P) to support flower development, as well as a topbooster to enhance essential oil production. These supplements are designed to optimize plant health and yield, and I've already noticed a difference in the overall vigor of my Cosmos F1 since I started using them. Now, let's talk about the importance of the pre-flowering stage. This is a critical period in the cannabis life cycle, as it sets the stage for the upcoming flowering phase. During pre-flowering, the plant undergoes hormonal changes that trigger the transition from vegetative growth to flower production. It's crucial to provide the right conditions and nutrients during this stage to ensure a successful flowering phase. One of the main reasons why I started using nutrient boosters during the pre-flowering stage is to help my Cosmos F1 build up the necessary resources for flower production. The extra phosphorus promotes strong bud development and enhances the plant's ability to produce flowers, while the topbooster stimulates that plus essential oil production, which contributes to the overall potency and aroma of the buds. Moreover, using nutrient boosters during the pre-flowering stage can help prevent nutrient deficiencies and ensure that the plant has all the nutrients it needs for optimal growth. This is especially important during the transition to flowering, as the plant's nutrient requirements change, and deficiencies can negatively impact flower development and yield. In conclusion, the pre-flowering stage is a crucial time for cannabis plants, and using nutrient boosters like extra phosphorus and topbooster from Aptus Holland can greatly support your plant's health and development during this critical period. I'm absolutely loving the results I'm seeing in my Cosmos F1, and I can't wait to see her bloom into a beautiful CBD-rich harvest.

Beautiful pheno of Ak420 by seedstockers same smell as her sister, the other 2 plants of this same ak420 package, let's see how this wonderful lady keeps developing, I think I could have train this lady just like this but I should have gave her a few more weeks of growth before changing the light cycle.

Day 50. Girls still on water diet, one more watering, or maybe even two more left. In video tried to highlight, most N hit plants, others are more than fine, thinking to throw out all who still in veg or didn't made through canopy, its still jungle at mines ... Nothing special, supercroped plant recovered well, think i have two new objects for HST ;)))) they fly, but stretch patern that they got from to high lights is repeated even when they reached optimal height, mistakes are bad and have long lasting consequences... One third of flower is done i guess, only couple plants will be bigger than an ounce, but i think i have like 40 of them ;))))))) Next time i count ! Day 54. Girls are very dry, some leaves still curled now from that, not only excess of Nitrogen... My night shifts don't leave me time, whenever i am back - they sleep... 12 hours shift, bike, train ... no time left at all, but .. Today they got still water , but i added 2ml of silica acid to it, ph after all - 6.6. Thinking to defoliate them sooner or later, maybe even today ... Next watering full feed or maybe not, if i rip all that leaves away, still valuating plants, would do it last week, but had no time ...

SUMMARY: I flushed the NL with tap water straight from the hose. Iโ€™ve heard youโ€™re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didnโ€™t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres. I will now continue to flush until harvest on 10th April by which point she should have faded nicely and used up any residual nutes. I read that the each time you water/irrigate you draw oxygen into the root zone and this promotes growth and in turn helps to increase yield and so I will endeavor to water her twice per day now until harvest. DAY 86 ----------- Sunday 28th March I flushed the NL with tap water straight from the hose. Iโ€™ve heard youโ€™re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didnโ€™t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres.

Weโ€™re kicking off week 3 of veg today, and things are looking up. She seems to be bouncing back nicely from that magnesium deficiencyโ€”leaves are perking up, color's evening out, and overall growth is picking up again. I topped her at the 5th node and gave her some light LST. After about 3โ€“4 days of recovery, I removed a few lower leaves that were sitting in the dirt and getting in the way during watering. Feeding her 500 PPM at a pH of 5.8

4 of 5 seeds germinated. The 4 masterkush are a little lighter color, probably a humidity issue as the other strain appears normal. Running 62%rH, the MK may need a little higher rH to use calcium. I add a tsp per gallon of calmag to clean rainwater may increase it to1.5 if this continues.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Flowering day 9 since the time was changed to 12/12 h. Hey everyone ๐Ÿ˜€. The lady has started to stretch very nicely :-). She is developing very well without any problems ๐Ÿ‘. I added 2 g of GHSC Powder Feeding per liter of coconut beforehand. In 16-22 days I will add another 1 g per l cocos. Today, like every two weeks, I added 1 g of GHSC Enhancer. I also removed the bottom shoots. As every day, the tent was cleaned, the humidifier was refilled and the entire electronics were checked for functionality. I am very curious how it will develop in the coming week and I wish you all a lot of fun with the update.

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Ferilization is the same except BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 they are being flushed. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 have to be harvested this week Friday so no more water. Colorado Cookies and Northern Light next week so started flushing them. Glueberry OG needs a bit more time.

Two phenotypes - one purple and one white/green. The purple was very difficult to train and resulted in a couple inadvertent breaks - luckily it was repairable. The other trained very well, very flexible and worked very good for SCROG. Both produced heavily and are beautiful. The purple tends to be much more fluffy, with very long pistil hairs - the longest of any grow I have done. The white was super dense, very crystally and sticky. It will be very interesting to see how they smoke. Also, the purple tended to do very well with some nute mistakes I made as well as fluctuating pH in my water feeding. The white did not do as well in this regard but was able to get to harvest fine. Wet bud weight is prior to trimming. The buds off of these plants were HUGE!!!! Plant #1: (Purple): Wet weight - 76.58oz prior to trim; 15 colas; Terps: White - 60%, Clear - 20%, Amber - 20% Plant #2: (White): Wet weight - 71.65oz prior to trim; 16 colas; Terps: White - 70%, Clear - 30%, After 3 days of drying, took them down to trim for my jars. After a few hours filled mostly quart jars 3/4 full but also tried an Infinity jar and a gallon mason jar to minimize the number of smaller jars. Dry weights into jars: Plant #1: 14.79 oz Plant #2: 11.76oz I did pull them after a day to dry rack them for 12 hours due to a little bit higher moisture content then I would have liked ( 70%rH). Re-jarred on 6/1/23 and now holding steady at around 60% rH. Cure Check In (Week 2): 6/10 - 6/12/23: rH ~ 63 - 66%. Daily air exposure & fanning. Very smelly. Looking good - another couple weeks and will be ready.

๐Ÿ“… D43 - 26/09 ๐Ÿ“œNew res and new light setup (only bloom lights): so T decreased and I need to take under control the H. Changed res with flowering mix. EC is 2 and pH 6. Removed SCroG net. โœ๏ธ 2 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 50 cm ๐Ÿ“… D44 - 27/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Posed a new SCroG net over the buds, only to give a support and guide the buds. As EC is raising, today I will give her only 2 L of water with only calmag and hydroguard. I purchased another lamp, that will arrive tomorrow with dimmers both on bloom and veg lights โœ๏ธ 2,2 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 55 cm ๐Ÿ“… D45 - 28/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Added of fresh water as the EC is raising too much. Let see if I've to add more later, trying to take EC under control. pH is quite stable , but it always goes decreasing and never raising. NEw lamp setup: I've purchased one that seems really good with 2 dimmers for both VEG and BLOOM lights. Very compact but powerful. Now I put bloom dimmer on 100% and veg dimmer on 80%. I'm not sure about the light time: the product sheet say 9-12/24 but now I'm 18/24. I will sniff around others diary to see what to do. โœ๏ธ 1,8 EC โ™’ 5,9 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 60 cm ๐Ÿ“… D46 - 29/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Added 1 other L. of fresh water and stabilize the EC 0n 1,5 and pH 6.1 I decided to keep the ligths on 18/24. Nothing else to report โœ๏ธ 1,5 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 65 cm ๐Ÿ“… D47 - 30/09 ๐Ÿ“œ So far so good. EC and pH are stable now and Lucy is healty and she's growing very fast. โœ๏ธ 1,5 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 65 cm ๐Ÿ“… D48 - 01/10 ๐Ÿ“œ Added 2 L with EC = 1,4 and pH= 6,1.
