~ 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: 10/29- Here we go into the fifth week from seed for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies and the #2 and #3 are just starting to flower! The #1 is just starting to show signs of pre-flower, so she'll not be very far behind the other two. Today I adjusted the feeding schedule for the Tropicana Cookies 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. I'm curious as to how much, if any, stretch these girls will have... I guess time will tell. 10/31- 👻HAPPY HALLOWEED! 🎃 11/2- The Tropicana Cookies are all looking really good now. The #2 and #3 are beginning to flower, the #1 should be showing any day now. The #2 is still a bit paler than the others, but I have noticed a steady improvement in her color. I have also used some horticulture wire to do some LST on #2 and #3 to spread out their numerous side branches exposing them to more light. Our weather has finally cooled off now allowing me to keep better control over the tent temperatures. I now have the HLG 650R turned up to 100%, and hung 28" above canopy. The Tropicana Cookies remain on six 15min feeds a day, and I have adjusted the nutrient level to 900ppm @ 74℉, while maintaining a ph range of 5.9-6.4. 11/4- Well there's five weeks of growth, and one week of flower for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! They are really digging the GrowAce AirCube system, and I must say so am I! I'm getting used to the routine now of checking the reservoir, cleaning/refilling, and maintaining the environmental s which is showing in the condition of the plants. Hopefully, things will continue on this track and the end results will be epic! See you next week fam!😎🙏💚💚💚 💚 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!💚

Producing more resin now colas are starting to fill in Typical jack herer fuel smell coming from them Buds look quite light green at this stage EC 1.5 Coming up to the half way mark on a 10 week strain flowered early at 19 days of light after germination Normally plants flowered that have received fewer than 30 days veg tend to look a little bit behind schedule until week 6 to 7 when they catch up So far the SH pheno & the Fire OG are maturing at a standard rate at 35 days of flower they look like 28 to 30 days worth of flower development I expect this to catch up by day 45 at day 45 they should look like a standard 45 days of flowering development The slow phenotype has only been allowed a little bit of space this one looks like a 12week + plant I will only allow it 10 weeks it's too small to be worth waiting for her to finish Day 37 Removed some leaves at the middle of the canopy to help with light penetration Day 39 resin production and colas filling in has increased significantly over last few days starting to smell like pine along with the fuel no citrus smell

Made sure the run off was 0.5ms, the water that I feed with has a reading of 0.3ms so I'm looking forward to when she has dried and cured so I can update with the smoke review

About 1-2 weeks left in these girls. Tent has pungent gassy but sweet fruity smells, Buds are stacking up.. couple are ripening earlier.. Following High Powered Organics Gro-dirt Gro-Guide.. More info @highpoweredorganics.com Cheers Legends

Day 43- i have beautiful girl with many crystal young buds... I see changes every day and it's amazing!) She is short but very fat) It will be very good staff as for me. Nutrients are working very good☝️👍So I am very expecting harvest day) Peace you ✌️ my brothers and sisters!)

Willkommen zu meinem Growbericht der Gorilla Cookies Auto von 2Fast4Buds. Der Strain wurde 2022 zur besten Indica beim Autoflower World Cup gewählt. Laut FastBuds deren meistverkaufter Strain. Grund genug, den Strain zu testen. Ganz Aktuell wurde die Gorilla Cookies Auto von 2Fast4Buds hier bei den Grow Awards 2026 in der Kategorie Best Strain auf Platz 3 und in der Kategorie Best Autoflowering Strain auf Platz 1 gewählt. Das macht mich noch neugieriger... Für den Grow verwende ich 15 Liter ROOTiES Stofftöpfe. Ich war sehr zufrieden mit der Sonnenerde, deshalb habe ich nachbestellt. Sonnenerde hat seine Mischung für die Bio Hanferde letzten Oktober/November geändert. Jetzt sind da kleine Tonkügelchen drin und kleine Gipsstückchen. Laut Sonnenerde soll das die Erde luftiger machen. Auf den Fotos kann man die unterschiedlichen Mischungen gut erkennen. In den AirPots ist die alte Sonnenerde, in den Stofftöpfen die neue. So kann man das Wachstum in den verschiedenen Erden schön vergleichen. Die Smart Start Plugs von zamnesia hab ich wieder verwendet. Tag 64: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Tag 66: Die Gorilla Cookies Auto von 2Fast4Buds bekommt 1,5 Liter Wasser. Sie ist klebrig wie Leim und riecht tatsächlich nach frisch verlegtem Linoleum. Tag 68: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Tag 70: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Schön, das du dir meinen Bericht ansiehst. Schau gerne wieder rein 👋😎

🌾 Week 14 – Lavado de raíces, defoliación final y recta final. Está semana 14 marca una etapa decisiva en este cultivo para la Dognabiscup. Entramos ya en la recta final, con las plantas muy próximas a su punto óptimo de maduración. Esta semana el enfoque está puesto en limpiar, ordenar y dejar que la planta termine su ciclo de forma natural. Se ha iniciado el lavado de raíces de manera progresiva para eliminar restos de sales y nutrientes acumulados en el sustrato, favoreciendo una maduración más limpia, mejor expresión de terpenos y un perfil final más puro. 🌿 Defoliación ligera y selectiva Durante esta semana también se ha realizado una pequeña defoliación estratégica, muy controlada y sin excesos. El objetivo no ha sido forzar la planta, sino: Eliminar hojas grandes que ya no aportaban fotosíntesis eficiente. Mejorar la penetración de luz en zonas medias y bajas Aumentar la ventilación entre cogollos, reduciendo riesgo de humedad. Facilitar el acceso visual para el seguimiento de tricomas. Esta defoliación se ha hecho respetando al máximo la estructura natural de cada planta, sin estrés ni podas agresivas, entendiendo que en esta fase la prioridad es madurar, no crecer. 🌿 Permanent Marker – Fotodependientes: Las Permanent Marker están mostrando un nivel de resina muy elevado, con tricomas bien desarrollados y una transición clara hacia estados lechosos, apareciendo ya los primeros ámbar en las flores superiores. Los pistilos están mayoritariamente oxidados y los cogollos se sienten firmes y compactos, señal de una floración bien llevada. Tras el lavado y la defoliación, la planta queda centrada únicamente en terminar la maduración de las flores, sin distracciones ni bloqueos nutricionales. 🌱 Jealousy Diesel – Autoflower: Las Jealousy Diesel siguen su propio ritmo, algo más pausado, pero con un desarrollo muy equilibrado. El engorde final continúa y la producción de resina es evidente. Aunque aún necesitan algo más de tiempo que las fotodependientes, responden muy bien tanto al lavado como a la defoliación ligera, manteniéndose sanas y estables. Aquí la clave está siendo respetar el tempo de la genética, sin apresurar el final. 🔬 Control técnico de la semana: • Lavado de raíces progresivo. • Defoliación ligera y selectiva. • Ambiente estable sin cambios bruscos. • Temperatura y humedad controladas. • Sin signos de estrés ni carencias. • Prioridad total a maduración y calidad. 📆 Estado actual: Tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos, con aparición de ámbar. Pistilos en fase avanzada de oxidación. Flores densas y bien formadas. Producción de resina muy marcada. Aunque el cultivo está ya muy avanzado, todavía se sigue observando evolución diaria, especialmente en tricomas y aroma, por lo que el plan es acompañar estos últimos días con paciencia y precisión. 🎯 Próximo paso: La siguiente semana será clave para: -Evaluar tricomas con lupa/macro. -Decidir el momento exacto de corte. Todo el trabajo, el amor, la pasión y la constancia por fin terminan de dar sus frutos 😍. Los terpenos están siendo impresionantes, dulces, cítricos, empalagosos, potentes, muy difícil de describir. Tengo ya muchísimas ganas de cosecharlas ✨❤️.

The buds are rock-hard and sticky. The overwhelming smell has a sweet and fruity aroma. About 25% of the trichomes are amber-colored, so I'll harvest her in a few days. 🍋🍒🍦

I was out of the tent and forgot to update the HARVEST. M.1- 14g M.2- 14g M.3- 20g M.4- 16g M.1.2- GREEN AND SWEET, VALUED AS ONE MY BEST CURED. M.3.4- FROSTY, SWEET, NOT MUCH THC. Done

Update week 4 RDWC

This week growth. It's been growing really well and the smell has completely changed to a dank candy.

Das plantas regulares descendentes de uma mistura com a Tropicana ficaram essa planta, eram duas mas uma se mostrou macho. Planta segue com sua floração de botões no caule .

End of week 11. Now I can say the scent permeates , if you lean in to take a sniff. It is a surgery-sweet, lemony smell( in the past, getting trichomes on my finger tips left that smell). Multi-pull buds are taking shape, but there's no clear winner, no cola I can call a main cola. If were to 'eye weigh it' each cola has about in estimated 2.5-3.5grams at the most. Plants are fed the same. 1 or 2 leaves show nitrogen deficiency.. will start to flush now(stopping nutrient feeding).

📅 D71 - 10/01 📜 New week. No res change ✍️ 1.5 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 90 cm 📅 D74 - 13/01 📜 Res change ✍️ 1.5 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 90 cm
