Hey everyone! Here's the Week 6 update! 😀 and I had some issues! Nothing too serious but still worth mentioning! I had some kind of algae growing in my medium so I stopped watering the plants for a while (I used to feed them twice a week) and I just did it once this week to wait for the plants to use more of the water inside their pots and I think it did work! I also removed most of the soil on the top to avoid spreading anything dangerous to my plants! 😭 Besides that I started doing a more aggressive LST and I also pruned some of the bigger sugar leafs 😲 My plants were also somewhat overfed (or I was close to nutrient locking them) as some of their leafs were quite dark (you'll be able to notice the difference from the color of the new leafs vs the old ones) so for the next schedules I'll just feed them once per week or feed them once then go only with pH'd water and then go back to fertilizers to avoid damaging the plant! 💀 On another note, the smallest plant has grown quite well so next week I'll be swapping her to a new por! I think she deserves it! The 3rd plant now has a name and it's "Boomer"! 😍 I also decided to go for 4 colas instead of 8 because the size available in my tent is small and I don't want risking my plants fighting for light in such a small space! 😢 Anyway, thanks everyone for reading everything so far! Take care! 👽

~ 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 •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •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: 10/1- Setting up the AirCube system when off without a hitch, with very easy to understand directions. I did have one issue, the Drain Petcock on the 25g reservoir was broken during shipping. After a phone call to GrowAce, they had a replacement one on its way to me which I received in just a couple of days! I did however make one addition to the system. I placed a pair of air-stones, one in the Reservoir and the other in the Distribution Bucket to really oxygenate the water. I started all my seeds by first soaking them in tap water for 12 hours, then transferred them into pre-moistened (6.3ph) peat pellets. I placed the pellets in half Solo cups in the tent with 24hrs of light under which they sprouted within 48 hours. I kept the tent temperatures between 80-84℉, the RH at 65-70% and made sure that the pellets stayed moist, not wet. 10/3- All of the Tropicana Cookies are looking healthy and have good color and vigor! I'll be moving them into their fabric pots which have already been pre-moistened in the next day or two, or as soon as I see roots emerging from the pellet. 10/5- Today I moved all three Tropicana Cookies into the fabric pots, adding some Xtreme Gardening's Mykos into each hole before placing the peat pellets. I have the HLG 650R set to 15% and hung 30" from the seedlings. Tent temperatures are 80-84℉ with RH running 65-70%. 10/7- Well there's the first week on the books for these three little ladies and they're looking fantastic. I'll be giving them their first feed this coming week and they should start to really take off... stay tuned! 😎👍❤️ 💚 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!💚

Same nutes . Colors are in . The cereal killer is here !! 🔪 great grow and even better genetics ! Can’t wait to dry . Chopping after 24 hours darkness

I loved! It is an amazing flavor and effect. i feel so high right now 😆00

This grow gets a ten out of ten from me on behavioral attributes on how she grew through out all the stages of life. Vegging was an absolute pleasure, she thrived off the 125g of amendments, cal-mag, and kelp all the way to day 30. Once I noticed flower development I proceeded to give her, her first feeding of grow and bloom nutrients both at the same time @ a diluted mixture of 25% then proceeded to increase increments as needed into flower, cutting out the grow after two feedings. She has been to date one of the cheapest grows I've ever had, all that's left is to harvest, cure and smoke for the final conclusion on 3 bears auto from Mephisto. Hats off to the boys over there! All this did was get me excited to grow the remaining Mephistos I have stored away!

Start Woche 4 Blüte. Die ersten wirklich warmen Tage... Samstag leider über 30°C Im Zelt...🙄🙄 Nun ja, müssen die Damen leider durch, ne Klima kommt einfach nicht in Frage😏 Deshalb habe ich ja Purolyt getestet. Bisher schaun beide gut aus👍 So langsam sind die ersten Trichome sichtbar und sie fangen an leicht zu riechen. Die beiden bekommen morgen noch ihren Composttee, sonst passiert grade nicht viel. Hin und wieder werden ein paar Blätter entfernt. 🍀 Tag71 Beide haben jeweils 2l Composttee bekommen.

Preparing the plants for pre-flowering stage with another defoliation (two times) + LST

Ich bin sehr froh mir mit der Critical Zeit gelassen zu haben, denn das hat sie benötigt. Das Endresultat kann sich meines erachtens nach für meinen Ersten Grow sehr sehen lassen! Was sagt ihr? Beste Grüße, Towelie

Woche 12 Dafür, dass sie recht spät gewechselt ist, ist die Gute schon recht weit in der Blüte und macht ihrem Namenzusatz alle Ehre. Obwohl sie 10 Tage später als ihre Mitbewohnerin in den 12h Rhythmus gestellt worden ist, scheint sie optisch schon weiter zu sein. Die Blätter wechseln langsam in den Herbst und auch die Buds scheinen langsam einen Blau violett schimmer zu bekommen. Die folgenden Tage werden mit Sicherheit noch einen hübschen Farbwechsel bereithalten.

Not much of an update this week... went camping in the backwoods of Temagemi.... it was amazing :) I did a video update when I got back... it'll have to do.

Runtz automatic is growing good. She is making a lot of progress and doing a lot of stretching. Her cola sites are developing more every day. Everything is looking really good. Thank you Plagron, Medic Grow, and Zamnesia seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Die Speed Queen purpelt ... und die Buds wachsen weiter - immer noch kein Dünger !

Very pleased with fastbuds autoflowers. I have 2 plants that might have a slight issue with the soil currently but the rest look beautiful.

8 week We have 12 strong plants and one skinny one. They start drinking more then 1.5 l with one application of water. Smells really sweetly and fruity. I really love it!

I feed her with full strength of nutes in every 4 days. The leaves are much healthier, so this is the way to go. The smell is lacking which is weird, but hopefully the end product will be fine.

Week 9 Flower Swelling Watered in at 500ml *Lights switched to 18/6 day 60 of Flower

GO ETHOS, GO ETHOS GO!!!!! this may be the absolute 8th wonder of the world, look at those ladies!!! Oooo la laaa... just started week 5 and added some Purpinator to the mix.. see how she goes. And you notice that little fancy C02 rockin in style in the corner 😎

💀 Old School Mango Haze Auto #1 💀 Age : 77 days Life : Thriving under most conditions, several stress events caused cascade - early stress finish. Discovery of nanners at ~D76 confirmed final plant state. Flower Development : Large deviance in structural density between flower sites, top nodes well formed but interrupted in bulking / ripening phase. Swollen but increasingly sparse bract population down the canopy with interrupted base formations; all amplified by unsuccessful cultivation strategy (reduced lollipopping) Pistils : Almost fully brown prematurely as of Week 8+. Early browning likely prevented self-pollination from undetected early nanner-structures. Trichomes : ~10% amber, fairly even. some outliers likely at 5-15% Fully ripened | Freshly ripening Ratio : 1.27:1 or 103:81g Smell undisturbed: Exhibits warm, loud, spicy wood profile with a minor fruit twist; some pepper on exhale; + minor stress based sulfur shift Smell ruptured: Fruity, warm wood/root with oriental spices, ripe mango in the wind, faint herbal bitters, some umami Terp Loss: Intense 'tropical fruit-cocktail' terpinolene quantities (cultivation target) observed during flowering could not be preserved due to cultivation issues. Monoterpene loss of roughly 50% against baseline likely. Sesqueterps + Sulfur dominate profile as stress response layers. Taste (combusted with tobacco): herbal forward with warm mango / myrcene background-body, slightly spicy Tactile density: 6.5/10 | dense, firm bracts against healthy, medium-loose structure that moves as a whole Trimming: Hand-trimming, 16h total (11.5g/h) due to cultivation issue Larf: 44% (trimmable into quality flower), ~2% unusable as flower product Drying: Extended low VPD cool dry in custom chamber (12D with increased botrytis risk) → humidity stabilization (extended due to sickness) → TerpLoc bags nested inside RH stabilized container as final storage. Pharmaceutical Profile: Pleasant ramp into array of 'sunshine-feelings': happyness, clarity, drive, relaxation. Very pleasant, clean sativa experience. Almost no sedation even after meaningful terp-loss and profile shift suggest baseline expression likely provides more intense, euphoric high with increased drive. The Silver-Lining & Parting Gift: As this story unfolds before my eyes, I have to consistently rub them: Sampling the products of this run after trimming, a total of 2 seeds have been found. One in Sour Jealousy, one in 505 Headbanger. Right now, both cultivars likely got pollinated during Week 7-9 by OSMH, when she likely started producing undetected nanners as a final survival response. Turns out, she could have ended the entire grow right then and there. But my fan placement accidentially created a pollination-barrier against SJ & HB during the entire run! This only changed mildly during Week 7-9, when some additional air was blasted deep into the canopy of OSMH to prevent moisture pockets. This must have caused just enough turbulence at the overlapping canopies in the center of the tent to cause rare, gentle but definitive cross-pollination events. So this begged the question: How on earth is Mango's flower not full of seeds? Turns out her premature pistil browning largely stemming from light burn actually -prevented- her self-pollination attempt, the pistils must already have ceased to function. The pollen? It did NOTHIN. Well, -almost- nothin. If this turns out to be true, I will just have to grow out these beautiful ladies under special circumstances (increased nanner-chance): OSMH x Sour Jealousy (Fem, Auto, Rodel) F1 OSMH x 505 Headbanger (Fem, Auto, Rodel) F1 How cool is that?! I am actually asking.
