So I definitely fucked up this week and missed some crucial water times. I passively knew in the back of my mind to but I was just having busy and stressful days.

Devo dire che le due Gorilla RQS sono contente e stanno bene nei loro nuovi vasi da 11 L ed in confronto a settimana scorsa sembrano più sane e in forma, purtroppo sono stato quasi una settimana senza misuratore PH perché mi dava problemi e quindi per una volta non ero effettivamente sicuro quanto era bilanciata la soluzione ma penso di non aver fatto danni…andiamo avanti, ieri ho sciacquato solo con acqua a PH 5.9/6 e ora aspetto che asciuga bene questa volta salgo con EC e arrivo intorno a 1250…vediamo come reagiscono 🧐😶‍🌫️

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Scrooge has grown bushy since the start of flowering. So, I gave it a trim and some care. Now, let's wait for it to bounce back, and I probably won't mess with it much more. 🌿🛠️

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

Everything went good the first week overall. I’m struggling to keep my humidity up in this tent even with a humidifier running directly in the tent. Outside the tent the room is 25% and my flowering tents are also in this room and sit around 40-50% inside. So I’m thinking I’m going to grab one of those fans that is controlled off your humidity value or a humidity controlled relay and continue to run my humidifier directly in the tent. If I shut off my outtake fan humidity skyrockets quick, but so does the heat, so I need something to turn on and off my fan relative to my humidity in the veg tent only and hopefully find that sweet spot of temp/humidity. May be a bit pricy but I think it will be worth the expense to keep my seedling/veg tent humidity up at the proper levels while still being in the same room as my flowering tents and still be able to keep them at 40%-50%. My humidity basically is the last piece of my puzzle I need to get under control in my grow room to have everything dialled in across all my tents. But we are making do until then, just a pain having to fill this humidifier 3 times a day...lol if I can control the air intake better I should be able to run the humidifier at a lower setting and use less water. Roots are just starting to leave the basket now, I have been taking a cup of water from the bucket daily and pouring it over the rock wool and pebbles back into the bucket to keep everything wet. Still running just strait water, I think I will be adding a very low dose of nutrients this week as they are at that point soon. That’s it for this week, be back again next week! Cheers💨

Bubbas Gift, real Indica.. still waiting for the flower stretch to kick-in, although I know it has already. Depending on how she turns out, definitely a keeper and may even monster crop at harvest. Anyway, no real changes in feeding other than increasing the bloom/Astro by 0.2ml putting it up to 0.4ml. Cal-Mag and Micro at 0.6ml. Soon to completely cut out grow by week 3. Will then increase Astro/Bloom. Reason being is she's a light feeder and I'm not risking burning her. No problems with her so far at all, her structure is short and squat and gets bushier by the day. She recovered from the last defoliation pretty quickly but I won't do anymore until the end of week 3 and what I do take off will be very selective. Anyway guys thanks for tuning in, back in a week with an update!

Hello. This is the end of week 8. I've found some white powdery mildew... so I'm going to harvest tomorrow. I'd rather harvest than try to fight the WPM for another week. It's getting down to 15* c in the greenhouse overnight now, even with the heat on. I'm liking the plant #3 so I'm going to try to reveg it. I'll spray it for bugs and bring it into the workshop with some heat on the roots... it should reveg. Back in a couple of weeks with the harvest report. I've shown the last 2 pages from the underground comic Weirdo #10. I'll start some other underground comic next diaries. I went to the grow shop yesterday and saw the free mag. "Absolute Underground" who had a tribute to Ozzy. So I included some pics of that. Hope you enjoy. OK. Have Fun. Chuck

week intel: we are going through slowly stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 700 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 327 ppm - 0.64 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 255 ppm - 0.5 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : know your plant tolerance limit of E.C stress once you saw the very very little yellowing on tips of leaves , that's the sign to don't go further , never reach that limit if you want a high quality buds, in my case tolerance is 1.4 and i'll reach to that level only once a week to cause precision stress , love your plants and have a happy growing!

~ 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!

Here we go! All three Strawberry Gorilla's continue to flower away with the #2 pheno still in the lead and looking the best of the bunch. The other two phenotypes have struggled constantly, but nevertheless have survived and I'm curious to see how they'll turn out when finished! I'm continuing with running the AirCube reservoir for 5-6 days between drain/refill, only topping off with well water and checking/adjusting the PH. The beginning strength of the added Plagron nutrients is 800ppm, and over the course of the 5-6 days it has only been dropping approximately 150ppm's. 12/8- Yesterday I removed the other three plants that were growing in this run with the Strawberry Gorilla's to get finished up. Now the ladies are only sharing the nutrient solution with each other, which hopefully will have positive results... time will tell. I'm continuing to monitor the AirCube reservoir, maintaining the solution level and PH twice daily. I have the HLG 650R set to 100% output now and have it hung 28" above the canopy. 12/10- Yesterday I went through the #1 and #3 plants and removed a bunch of shade leaves that were either blocking light or were damaged looking. The reservoir is beginning to stink so, tomorrow I'll be doing a drain/clean/fill on it which I'm sure the plants, and my nose will appreciate! 12/12- Now that I have removed the other three plants from their pots, I went ahead and pulled the #3 plant and placed it in the center empty pot giving everybody way more room to spread out. After moving the #3, I did some more LST on all three plants. Well there goes the 5th week of flower for the FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla's. They're 8 weeks since breaking ground and have a good 3-4 weeks to go before they're finished. 💚 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!💚

💫The week went great. After the first stress, growth seemed to slow down, but it worked out, the plant began to expand. I water it every 3 days. I continue to bend the stem along the axis of the pot. I bend the branch that will pass through the fastest. 💚I started giving supplements late. Only on the 33rd day I gave him fish and everything else. 🍀 Week showed good growth, but it could have been better, let's see what happens with the additives. I continue to twist the stem in a circle (I don't know where to twist it). And I also cut off the leaves a little bit, about once a week, as they block the light (a friend says not to overdo it with defoliation, let's see what happens).🍀

Week 7 – Lemon OG in full swing 🍋🔥 We’ve entered week 7 and things are moving strong! Buds are stacking up nicely and getting chunkier by the day. Pistils are bright and reaching, trichomes are beginning to pop – this run smells like success already. There’s one girl in the back-middle acting a bit dramatic – some light potassium-related signs showing up. Could be linked to CalMag interactions, but nothing alarming. Keeping an eye on her, but overall everyone looks green and thriving. I’m seeing a healthy nitrogen fade on some leaves – exactly what I want at this stage. Lights are cranked to full power (480W total) and the girls are taking it like champs. Not a single sign of stress – just hungry green machines turning photons into fat nuggets. Climate’s locked in nicely too. Feeding highlights this week: • 💧 15 L water • 🌸 70 ml Biobizz Bloom • 🌼 20 ml Topmax • 30 ml CalMag • 2.5 g Epsom salt • 💩 15 ml GuanoKalong Liquid • ❌ No molasses this time Can’t wait to see how they frost up in the next days. The lemon is loud, the growth is proud, and the buds… oh man, they’re plumping hard. This is going to be a juicy harvest 🍋💪 Stay tuned, fam. – OnlyBuds 🌿 Keep it green. Keep it growing.

Beide Mutanten machen sich wirklich sehr gut. Anfang der 5. Woche wurde umgetopft, wurde auch wirklich Zeit wie man sieht. Ist wirklich super durch gewurzelt😎 3 Tage nach dem umtopfen wurde dann auch schon getoppt. Habe mich natürlich dafür entschieden, dass ich die 3 Triebe von der Mutation mitnehme um so 7 Haupttriebe zu erhalten. Es sind tatsächlich 7 da die ersten beide Triebe an Nodie 1 auch sehr gut ausgewachsen sind und nicht unterentwickelt. Wenn die Muatenten weiter so wachsen wird nächste Woche schon wieder getoppt. Umtopfen und topping hat sie wirklich mehr als gut vertragen👍🏼
