~ 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!

The feed schedule of six 15 minute feeds daily continues with a 900ppm nutrient level. The HLG 650R remains at 100% output, and is hung 30" from the canopy now as I had to raise it for some taller plants in the tent. 11/10- The Strawberry Gorilla's just hit the one week mark in their flowering and the #2 definitely has the most developed flowers of the three plants, with the #1 and #3's flowers about equal in development. 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. 11/12- Today I drained, cleaned the reservoir and distribution bucket, then refilled the reservoir with 90L of 70℉ well water to which Plagron nutrients were added to give a 900ppm concentration, then ph'd to 5.8. All I am doing now in between drain/refills of the reservoir is adding straight water to maintain the 90L level and checking the ph. Over the course of the 7 days in between reservoir changes the ppm's will slowly drop, but will still be adequate, never dropping below 750ppm's. 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. 11/14- There goes a full week of flower for the FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla's! They all should really get going in the next couple of weeks and I can't wait to see their progression through flower! 💚 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!💚

Flower Week 6 Day 42 to 48 - 3/26 to 4/1 Stepped up my attention with these this week and hope I didnt let them go too far for a decent harvest. I defoliated for the last time this week and spotted more purple leaves. The buds are super dense so I have higher hopes than I did last week Feed this week was 1.25 gallons 2 times. 700ppm total before add-ins. I used 400ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). Then I added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) PH balance this week was 6.6 I plan to feed 1.25gal 2 times with 6.6ph and half nutes. This will also be the same for all remaining feeds before harvest. From this point Im simply watching for signs to harvest in the pistils, calyx, and trichomes

Day 56 This plant looks so small, because i High stressed them, im still giving them a Chance but they are so smalltalk that they need weeks to recover , and if in 2 weeks the plant dont Show any signs of getting flowery then i will cut her. Some week or 2 stopped, because of The Training.

Two of the girls have been battling a nitrogen toxicity issue due to over feeding at week 5/6 but they are still looking pretty nice. The buds are really starting to give off a nice citrusy aroma up close on the tallest plant.

Nice strain

420 Fastbuds Week 7 Amnesia Zkittlez Auto Weekly update on these two gorgeous girls. They are progressing amazingly and really I couldn't be happier. I did up the tds on them to about a 1000 to give them an added boost. I'll dial it back down to about 400 as the weeks come. The smell is definitely strong on them so I can only imagine as the flower sites ripen up. So far so good. Happy Growing

The remaining girls are doing great. They stink so badly tho... Like a mix of feet and citrus 🤣🤣 I've sense turned on my exhaust system. 5/2/2023: So I've added more pics... the girls are still doing great so not much to report. I just can't wait til this grow is done and I can cut them down. I love saving $$ by growing my own shit... 😄

Hello everybody! This was the last week for this little Titan F1, yesterday the plant got harvested and now is hanging upside-down in darkness. Is hanging as a whole plant, I was afraid to wet trim it before as my humidity is not always in the best value ranges. So I preferred to be on the safe side and avoid super fast or excessively drying after a wet trim. I will have a little more work to do during DRY trimming but is ok, is just 1 little plant. In this last two weeks not much was going on. Just soil flushing and constant checking on trichomes every 2/3 days. This was the last week, the plant again got only plain water adjusted to the right pH, around 6.4. 2 liters of water every 2 days. For a total of 6 liters this week. Yesterday at day 85 the plant FINALLY got chopped down. A little late on the schedule, it took her around 10 days longer than RQS indicates. Overall from my observations it looked like the plant could go longer that's why I kept her till day 85. Also the trichomes were not ready yet (somewhere around 90%). Before harvest I actually checked the trichomes for the last time and FINALLY they were all nice and milky. Almost 0 lucid or transparent. I chopped her in the perfect moment I believe. In the last days I lowered a little bit the intensity of the light to 50%, I noticed that on the main cola the terpenes were evaporating. The light was too close and definitely too strong. This was due to my latest lightning upgrade. From 70 to 100 watt. I should have kept the old lighting on untill the end of her life even if was for just 1 week. Anyway the new light it gave her benefits, the plant definitely got more beefy with the new illumination. But also got some light burn and stress. But the most important thing is that the plant survived this journey and now is drying up. So the last two days before harvest the light was at 50%, in fact the plant recovered so well and the main cola started to smell again. Im sooo happy. There are some purple spots on buds 💜 from light stress and genetics of course. Regarding drying and curing the plan is: Drying in darkness for 7-10 days. Temp 17 celcius and around 51-53% humidity. Curing inside air sealed jars with Boveda humidity packs for about 1 or 2 months. I dunno if go for the 62% or the Boveda 58%. I think i will start with 62% and then decide if I like it or needs couple % less. Of course in one week after is dry I will do the first smoke test without curing it, im too excited and impatient, it was 3 months maaannn, time to smoke test it now. I will keep 1 or 2 grams and the rest will go in the jar for the final cure. Honestly I never look at the dry weight, is a bit too vague, full o little branches, leaves... Just not important for now. Next week when I do the dry trimming I will update with the last pictures and the final dry weight. Thanks to everybody and see you next week.

First time growing inside. I always just throw my seeds in the spil when I grow outside told myself to do the same here. Put the seeds maybe 1 to 1.5 inches into the soil and put 1.5 ozs of water on and around the seed. Also had domes on my 1/2 gallon pots to keep humidity high. Had my lamp at around 12 inches from the pots. Once they sprouted they stretched a bit so I out my lamp down to 8 inch and they stopped growing. I'll probabky stsrt at 6 to 8 inches next time and see what happens.

This one is probably finished by the end of next week😎

This week has gone great. My lovely lady's are thirsty and taking there nutrients wonderfully. I have increased there water and nutrients intake and they are responding well. They continue to grow rapidly I am moving there light almost daily. I'm running out of vertical room.. All the hard work is paying off, they are starting to show there reward of amazing bud sites developing everywhere. A few more weeks and they will get added micronutrients. I'm pumped to see there development coming soon

Harvest Report – Blue Sunset Sherbert The weed turned out absolutely phenomenal! The colors were stunning – incredibly dark, almost black, with deep purple hues that really popped. It was harvested at Day 80, with about 20% amber trichomes – just the right timing for a balanced effect. Check out the pictures – they speak for themselves! Stay tuned for the smoke report! --- Erntebericht – Blue Sunset Sherbert Das Weed ist einfach phänomenal geworden! Die Farben waren atemberaubend – richtig dunkel, fast schwarz, mit tiefvioletten Tönen, die richtig hervorgekommen sind. Geerntet wurde bei Tag 80, mit etwa 20% bernsteinfarbenen Trichomen – genau der richtige Zeitpunkt für einen ausgewogenen Effekt. Schaut euch die Fotos an – sie sprechen für sich! Bleibt dran für den Smoke Report!

Erster, photoperiodischer Outdoorgrow. Hätte einiges besser machen können, jedoch hatte die Pflanze keine Schädlinge und hat sich insgesamt gut entwickelt :) Habe leider keinen Südbalkon aber bin trotzdem happy mit dem Ergebnis!

Esa familia, a que pintan fenómeno estas skunks?. Es que Zambeza hizo un gran trabajo con esta variedad, es una cepa que es bastante rápida en floración, crece muy bien en su etapa de crecimiento, y sobretodo es aparte de típica, muy sencilla de cultivar. De mis favoritas hasta ahora para indoor, como siempre, controlamos el ph y la humedad (siempre dentro de los parámetros correctos establecidos). La semana que viene nos vemos con más avances , un saludo.

Not much to do this week. Plants are doing great ! Lots of trichomes. Very frosty 😍 Since a few weeks the leaves have small spots. They are not insects, not spider mites. But I don't know what it is. Started to add BioFinale PK 0.5ml/500ml water/24l pot.

This week marked the full transition into active bud development 🌸 The plant has completely finished stretching and is now focusing its energy on building buds and increasing resin production. • Final height stabilized around ~100 cm • Stretch fully completed • Energy directed into bud growth and trichome production Bud sites are now clearly developing across the canopy, though they are still in the early stages of stacking. Trichome production is steadily increasing, with a light frosty layer already visible on the sugar leaves ✨ Canopy management was adjusted this week. After a light defoliation in the previous week, additional leaves were removed and the plant was lollipopped to clean up the lower growth ✂️ Toward the end of the week, branches were gently spread apart using wires to improve light penetration. This significantly improved light distribution: • Each main branch now receives ~800+ PPFD ☀️ • Reduced shading compared to previous weeks Light intensity remains high and well tolerated, with light praying still visible, indicating the plant is comfortable under the current setup. Water demand remains high: • ~4L every 2 days based on pot weight 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x Orgatrex • 1x Greenhouse Bio Enhancer • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Environment: • ~24,8°C temperature • 47–50% RH 🌡️ Aroma has developed noticeably this week. The plant now produces a very sweet, jam-like scent, something unique and very pleasant, standing out compared to previous runs 🍓 Overall this week marks the beginning of real bud formation, with increasing resin production, improved canopy structure, and a very promising aroma profile 🍩🔥

Bonjour les amis. Après 10 jours d'absence, bonne surprise! Les fleurs ont pris du volume et l'odeur est plus forte et sucrée. Le stretch est bien terminé. J'ai arrêté les engrais, la led est toujours à 80%, dli ~35-40. Je vais libérer les 2 grandes de la lst dans la semaine qui arrive. La plus petite plante ne mesure que 16cm mais les têtes paraissent déjà plus chargée de résine. Je pense qu'elle sera prête avant les 2 autres. C'est la dernière ligne droite qui exige le plus de patience. À bientôt, profitez bien, M.

Buds should be dried in the dark at 21 degrees, 50% humidity
