~ 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!

I am continuing the feedings of Plagron nutrients three times daily, and I'm monitoring the reservoir before each, adjusting the nutrient level to 650-700ppm @ 5.9-6.2 ph. The solution temperature is maintaining a steady 73-75℉. As a side note; as the weather gets colder I may install a heat mat, controlled by a thermostat, under the reservoir to ensure proper temp's in it. 10/27- Our weather has warmed up the past couple of days. Because of this I've had to lower the light output to 55% in order to keep the tent temp's below 82℉. The Strawberry Gorilla's are showing zero sign of heat stress so I'm not terribly concerned, especially as the weather will be dramatically cooling off in a day or two. I upped the nutrient ppm level to 800 with the addition of Plagron's Royal Rush 8-0-0 which will continue in their feeding through flower. I'll also be adding Plagron Green Sensation in another 7-10 days which will also continue through flowering. I'm continuing to tuck shade leaves daily on all three girls, and have been gently bending down their side branches as well. 10/29- Today I adjusted the feeding schedule for the Strawberry Gorilla's to six feeds a day. The first feed begins two hours after 'lights on', then every three hours until 'lights off' which the girls should enjoy! I am currently keeping the nutrient level to 800ppm, and have begun to introduce Plagron's Green Sensation @ 2ml/g 10/31- 👻 HAPPY HALLOWEED! 🎃 💚 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!💚

No time

Hola a todos!! Esta semana he regado con fertilizantes (dia 52) con 1 litro de agua y 1.5 ml de Top auto - top bloom -top candy Ph 6.4 ec 600 y 1 litro solo de agua, manteniendo ambos valores de ec y ph respectivamente. Y al momento de drenar seguía alto el ph (7.8) y ec 980ppm. El dia 55( ayer 07/10/25) volvi a regar pero no controle drenaje, regue con un ph más bajo 6.1 y ec 600ppm. La planta esta recien terminando esta semana empezó a mostrar algo de resina.😋😋😋. En cuanto a su altura no creció más, solo se dedico a engordar los cogollos.

Hello friends 😁 So far so good, Purple is nearly done, Cinderella start to develop a nice buds, Bruce Banner is very slowly recovering from problems. I think BB have got some roots problems, we will see in next 1 or 2 weeks a results. Day 59 Purple Lemonade is running on regulate water, flush coming soon 😇 Stay safe, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 💪 🙏

El frío a afectado un poco su desarrollo ya que las temperaturas han sido bastante bajas, pero seguimos pasando todo por debajo de la malla y ocupando todos los cuadrados de la malla para seguir adelante. Seguimos en vegetación, se sigue doblando de a poco y apretando más los hilos para dejar de a poco más expuestos los brazos de abajo

Heute wurde geerntet da das Wetter leider weiterhin regnerisch sein soll, 3 Tage hätten den Pflanzen noch gut getan, aber seis drum :) wird schon werden! Für den ersten Run bin ich auf jeden Fall zufrieden, mal sehen was am Ende dabei rauskommt :)

The day has come to harvest one of my ladies. The purple punch!!!! Full details once dried & cured.......... Just the Kosher Cake & Bruce Banner left now. Filling out more every day, Harvest time for these two Isn't far away now!!!

Week started how I hoped. Rain stops and the sun is shining several hours per day. But it is still cloudy often.

I started the week by selecting the 3 best plants to put them into their final 26l pots with some Dynomyco. I made the selection based on their sizes, shapes and roots. I increased the light output from 25% to 50% and started the week with 23h of light per day. After a few days I noticed what I think are light burns on every plants so I reduced the number of hours/day to 18h and it seems ok now. I checked the pH, not optimum but alright for soil and I always have this 7.0 with this soil and this pH meter (don't know if it works properly or not because it's always 7.0 in this soil, never 7.1 or 6.9). The 3 plants grew a lot this week, it's one of my best growth rate so far so I'm very happy 😁 The Wedding Cheesecake is by far above the two others, it already developped 5 nodes so I topped it (first time it happens to me that soon). As usual with this soil, I think they have a bit of nitrogen toxicity but nothing critical. Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Gorilla Cookies : 18.5cm Purple Lemonade : 15cm Wedding Cheesecake : 22cm

Start of week 6! Glueberry OG is growing strong however she's also getting hungrier and I made feed her an extra liter part way through this week. She's incredibly sticky, just like glue lol! Bud sites are looking good and development is strong.

These two plants have given me the experience and the desire to do even better! Next genetics I thought I would bring another pure Indica...

12 hours max soaking before directly going into 18ltr pots. Amazing germination speed and rate as always from the guys @ 420FB

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, 🍁😎 I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

A bit more progress this week.... Top 2" of old soil/perlite mix scraped off and brand new peat compost applied.

Was fun to grow and looks beautifull in any garden 💜 u can really taste the blueberry crossed in this strain

Woche 11 Tag 71-77 / Blüte Tag 43-49 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50 Tag: 27,8 Nacht: 24,7 PPFD: 879 im Schnitt DLI: 38 Höhe: 55cm VPD: 1,53 Tags / 1,19 Nachts Lampe Abstand: 40cm Lampe auf 70% Woche sieben ist zu Ende und meiner Meinung nach lässt sie sich sehr viel Zeit. war wahrscheinlich mein Fehler, zu Hohe Temperaturen und ich hab es bisl zu gut mit Wasser und Düngung gemeint, sieht nicht mehr ganz so fresh aus. Was meint ihr? Zu viel Licht? Zu viel Wasser? Oder doch die Hitze oder Überdüngung? Zum Geruch, wenn ich das Zelt mal kurz offen stehen lasse riecht die Wohnung herrlich süßlich nach sehr sehr guter Wiese (Cannabis) so gut das meine Nachbarin sich gleich mal gemeldet hat und gefragt hat wo der üble Duft herkommt :). Ansonsten sehr zufrieden, würd sagen da haben Dutch Passion (Antonio) sehr gute Leistung erbracht. Weiter so. Mein nächster Run wird sicher auch wieder was von euch werden.

Leaf scaring getting worse but seems to have stopped progressing. Buds look amazing and can't complain about tricome production.

;)

Woche 4 beginnt Etwas zu nass. Die Umstellung von Floragard Growmix mit organischer Flüssigdüngung auf Herbis Livingsoil ist immer noch herausfordernd speziell in den noch kleinen Töpfen, ansonsten stand die vierte Woche ganz im Zeichen der erfolgreichen Etablierung im neuen Setup (Neues Zelt, neue Beleuchtung neuer Topf (3l Stoftopf) mit neuem Substrat. Das strategische "Tiefersetzen" aus der Vorwoche war ein voller Erfolg: Der Stamm hat enorm an Stabilität und Dicke gewonnen. Die Pflanze steht nun völlig eigenständig und kerzengerade, ohne dass sie gestützt werden musste. Die gewonnene Energie wurde direkt in das Wachstum der Fächerblätter investiert, die sich aufgespannt haben, um die Lichtintensität im neuen "Vegi-Palais" optimal auszunutzen. Keine Anzeichen von Lichtstress jedoch ist das feuchte managment im ungewohnten Substrat ist noch verbesserungsfähig.
