This is an un conventional diary. As expected i have taken a wile to update the original diary and basically this is the second generation of Charlotte’s Angel genetics. Recapping, ;) , the first generation or the mothers there grown as shown in the first weeks of this diary, flowered in 5 gal pots, in supersoil, and suplemented with biobizz and a few compost teas, harvested dry cured as usual. I have really liked the result, clean smoke or vape with a lemon like aroma, the effects are subtle, calming and gradual, anyone can enjoy this strain, you can smoke as much you want with no side effects. Very interesting. Before flowering I have taken clones, and this are the plants, originated from that op, transfered in to 5 gal smartpots with peat perlite mix, in the end of week one of flower. The scrog net was put in to place yesterday, basically is a hybrid scrog, some are making the knitting movement some re just been separated by the spaces, in another words this is a beta scrog, more to open a bit the plant than to really create a clean and organized classic scrog setup if that makes sense. As far as the nutrient line i have adventured myself in to the organics, but really is not biobizz or the super soil does not compare to synthetic nutes as far as harvest and full potential *in my experience thus far, this experiences will continue, for the sake of research and experimentation. So I’m trying a new nutrient line, the Remo nutrients. After mixing in to RO or unclorinated water the mix pinpoint at 6.2-6.5ph, note that this is not a ph perfect marketed line, so that is a comfortable coincidence. To flower I’m using a 1x1m tent with my quantum boards. The third generation of clones have been taken and is in the propagation tent rooting. Lets see how this goes along. :)

F’ing awesome! Growing like weeds!👍🤣💪 Still lots of veg time left, days are still getting longer. Fast Buds website says up to 3 meters (10 feet). At this pace these ladies could possibly beat that! 🤞🙏

Larry OG started to have a very pleasant grape candy smell, peach maraschino also smell very sweet and candy like. Black Cherry Pound Cake has a slight gas smell too it which I look forward to! Dr. Grinspoon has yet to produce any overwhelming odor, the smell test I have received from the leaves defoliated and from touching the plant stalk resembles a nice spice and floral aroma. The strong heat days raise humidity from high 40’s to mid 50’s, the pint sized dehumidifier seems to work perfectly for my 3x3 tent by keeping it within that range and avoiding big fluctuations. By the end of the week both the Larry OGs and Black Cherry Pound Cake showed first signs of a nice purple fade despite warmer conditions. Larry OG (2) auto flower is showing signs of calcium and magnesium deficiency. I suspect the 2 auto flowers should be getting ready for harvest within the next few weeks, they started the flowering cycle before the photoperiod plants so I will be breaking out the jewelers loop to start checking out trichome heads

Days 74 - 80 (from seed) 4/15/24 - 4/21/24 Lamp distance: 13" @ 50% power (estimate PAR?) VPD: not checking - humidity set to 40% Feed schedule: feed schedule once a week, 1/4 gallon water per plant daily - FPE added at 2oz per gallon every third day IPM: visual inspection only Notes: Final push, fading occurring on all plants now and some amber starting to show during trichome inspection. Cookies & Berries taking the most time of the group to finish while Mango Sky crossed the finish line first. All four plants will be chopped next week on the morning after the full moon, April 24th - according to the moon gardening calendar it is "best time to pick medicinal herbs and plants, while flowers if cut during this time have an intense scent and endure longer." They're close to finished in my book so it can't hurt to follow the lunar suggestion.

Buenas, Esta semana ha ido bastante bien con un crecimiento muy bueno como pueden ver, al menos desde mi punto de vista pues es mi primer cultivo. Ahora los días de entre-riego se están acortando, lo que es una buena señal pues quiere decir que la planta esta bebiendo como nunca y su sistema radicular es sano. Tuve problemas con insectos que se fueron comiendo algunas hojas, sobre todo las de nueva formación las cuales no estaban bañadas en el preventivo que uso, pero las pille a tiempo y decidí pulverizar la mezcla de agua con tierra de diatomeas y neem en polvo, por eso ese aspecto blanquecino de las hojas, y la verdad es que desde entonces no he tenido problemas estos días, a ver si sigue surtiendo efecto. Gracias por leer y ya saben cualquier consejo me dicen ya que son bienvenidos amigos. PD: me siento como un médico escribiendo la historia clínica del paciente 😂

NCH x SB is starting to fade significantly and has stopped throwing out new pistils, trichomes are significantly cloudy and a few on the sugar leaves are beginning to turn amber. Debating whether I should pull her at full cloudy in a week or two or wait until I see more amber. Sour Kush is still fattening up and has a lot of white pistils yet to mature, trichomes are of course a mixture of clear/milky, no fade on this plant yet. Tangerine Dream is making great progress in flowering and bud sites have thickened up considerably, trimmed a majority of larfy bud sites on this plant since the discrepancy in the distance to the light was so large. Water pH 6.15, EC 0.4. Feed pH 6.15, EC 0.717.

The plants look much better. I put too much nuts On first week so I had to rest all of them -70%. In my case the Calcium was blocking the entry of potassium so I decided just put 0.5ml/2l. The smaller plants are in week 2 but I noticed 2 of them growing really fast, they’re almost like the others 4 plants who are one week older! Almost all f them will be transplanted at the end of this week

Ze is zo mooi. Ik ben echt tevreden met haar. We hebben mooi weer dus heb haar uit de tent gehaald en in de volle zon geplaatst. Ik denk dat ze nog anderhalve week te gaan heeft. Nog 2 keer voedingsstoffen meegeven en daarna alleen water. Wordt vervolgd...

~ 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: 11/26- My oh my! Week 5 of flower's here and these ladies are looking sexy as hell!🔥🤪 11/28- All three Tropicana Cookies are getting to the point that it's time to begin flushing them. My dilemma is that, with six pots in the closed loop system and three of them occupied by a different strain that is 10+ days behind the Tropicana Cookies, I can't run straight water through the system to flush without negatively affecting the other strain that is right in the middle of flower. My solution that I've come up with is to pull the Tropicana Cookies from the AirCubes and put them on drip trays so that I can flush them without affecting the flowering of the three plants from the other strain. *Note to self: When starting a run with this system, MAKE SURE ALL six plants break ground together! Also growing a single strain would be way better than mixing strains with this system as you can only give one strength of nutrients regardless of what each particular plant needs for optimum growth. 11/30- Today was the LAST day that these ladies have to sit in the AirCubes. This evening, right after 'lights on', I pulled all three plants from the AirCubes and placed them on plastic drip trays that hold a little over 2L. When I pulled them the first thing I noticed (besides the odor) was the amount of roots that were growing outside of the fabric pot (I thought they were supposed to 'air prune' the roots) and the copious brown slime coating the inside of the bucket and the bottom of the fabric pot...smh. So, from here on out I'll be manually flushing all three with 2L each of straight well water that has a 150ppm base, to which I add 1/64th teaspoon of NPK Yucca Extract, then I ph it to 6.0 @ 68℉. After flushing, I wait around 15min, then I use a wet vac to remove the runoff from the drip tray. 12/2- I'm continuing to flush all three at an interval of 3 times daily with 2L of water and they all are doing fantastic! The #3 is starting to fade, and the pistils on both the #1 and #2 are turning color from snow white to a darker tan or red, and I anticipate their fade to begin sometime soon. Well Fam, there's five weeks of flower on the books and these ladies are just about ready to finish up! See you next week for what could be the finish for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! 😎🙏💖 💚 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!💚

Z420Organics Kannabia Grow Started! 🌱 The babies have started pushing out their first little leaves! We had a bit of a stretching issue at first, likely due to high temperatures (30–34°C), but I think it’s manageable — they’ll be transplanted soon and properly buried to stabilize them. Despite the heat, they're looking healthy and on track. Excited to see how these Kannabia genetics perform! 🌞🌿
