~ 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!💚

So I flipped them 2 weeks ago, they grew nearly 10 centimetres in a week and I was running out of space so I read a bit about super cropping and gave that a go. Waters up to 2 litres every 2 days, feeding 2 out of 3

Day 58, 7th of November 2020: The 6th day since the lamp switched to be 12/12... I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plant remains in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... Amazing....strech is on the way..... 😅 Nice fresh smell lovely, I love the structure. She does not strech that much so far but she is like a little more bushire a lotnof leaves and smaller ones... she looks different in "person" you would see more differences compare to other ones from the same breeder in this group ;) Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;) ;)

The smell was new for me its amazing that Fastbuds strains always smell exactly like the name they give them

Day 84 - June 25 June 25 - 09.30AM Trichomes still not ready at 50/50 milky to cloudy. Soil is still moist. Will water either late this evening or tomorrow morning. I suspect this will be the second or last watering before chop. June 25 - 09.00PM Removed a dead leaf - I want to remove some of the dying leaves on the colas, as underside of plant has a beautiful purple hue to the leaves. June 26 - 08.45AM Trichomes are starting to turn milky, with 60/40 milky to cloudy ratio. Will water this evening as pot is getting lighter + soil isn't as moist. June 26 - 01.20PM Purple is here. I think it's time to chop tomorrow as I'm seeing more ambers. I'm noticing some bright green growth which I hope isn't the start of nanners. June 26 - 01.20PM Watered 3L. Chop tomorrow. June 27 - 00.00AM CHOPPED (Day 86). . June 27 - 00.00AM Inspected detached calyx with strange (I suspect pistil) growth. Many amber trichomes found. Strange, given colas I inspected were all cloudy with no amber, but this calyx (located at centre of plant) had plenty of amber trichomes. Perhaps this is due to recieving a higher than expected DLI at hotspot of light. . June 27 - 00.00AM Underside of Buds are underdeveloped in comparison - easily due to light blockage. I aimed not to defoliate as she entered flower, but perhaps with better LST and leaf tucking I could've produced more even yield. . June 27 - 00.00AM Trimmed Fan leaves and mostly necrotic foliage - want to avoid bud-rot at all costs, but I may have over-defoliated. . June 27 - 00.00AM Drying hanging upside down with oscilating fan above (2/10) and one beneath driving air toward a wall of the tent. There's also an extraction fan at the top of the tent. . June 27 - 00.00AM Humidity 60-62% & Temperature 64-66F. . June 27 - 02.45PM Temperature is rising in the tent to 69F, inside a sealed bathroom room. Sealed Bathroom offers no light leakage, but I might need to open the door and allow light + cool air in. . June 27 - 03.45PM Moved tent out of bathroom to get cooler air. Tent temperature was just under 70F. I've likely lost some flavour over a few hours - but now that it's in a cooler environment (with slight light leakage) - things should improve. . June 27 - 03.45PM Temperature & Humidity are 66F and 60% respectively. . June 27 - 04.00PM (16 hours since chop) . June 27 - 04.05PM Added portable cooling unit to intake, this should drop temperature by a degree or two hopefully. Ensured Fans weren't directly in path of buds. . June 27 - 04.30PM Humidity is 66%, I've increased oscilating fan speed to 5/10 to combat this. . June 27 - 08.50PM Humidity is 60%. Temperature is 66F . July 1 - 09.00PM Branches still bend - not snap. Will trim and start cure process tomorrow. Leaves shrivelled up. . July 2 - 10.00AM Rough Trim, and placed into cure jars. 58% RH and 60% RH Probably should have harvested last night. Will maintain RH in jars via burping. Roughly 2oz (56g) of bud harvested.

Girls grew a lot these two weeks. I was away on vacation and they did fine. Except I wasn't there to control the stretch perfectly. But you don't have to be perfect every time. I managed to take some clones from one monster plant. Fingers crossed she will end up with purple flowers.

Week 6: Flower - Purple Power & Organic Excellence 💜🌸 Currently vibing to: Larry June - Organic (keeping it smooth) 🎵 Week 6 flower is where things start getting REAL. The buds are swelling, the trichomes are stacking, and one of the ladies is putting on a color show that's absolutely stunning! All Three Ladies - Thriving on Organic Fire The feeding regimen is dialed in, and these girls are responding beautifully. Consistent nutrition is paying off with healthy, vigorous flower development across the board. Current Feeding Schedule: Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom (consistent feedings) Growganica Incredible Bulk (for density and weight) This organic combo is doing EXACTLY what it's supposed to: Supporting robust bud development Enhancing terpene production Building density without harsh synthetic salts Feeding the soil biology that feeds the plants The slow-release nature of organic amendments means the plants are getting steady, consistent nutrition—no spikes, no crashes, just smooth sailing. Lemon Cherry (Right) - The Purple Princess! 💜 SHE'S TURNING PURPLE! And not just a little bit—she's really expressing those anthocyanin colors. This is exactly what we want to see! Why the purple? Genetic expression (she had it in her the whole time) Temperature fluctuations between day/night can enhance purple coloration Stress-free environment allowing her genetics to shine Proper nutrition supporting color development Bag Appeal Status: Already looking FIRE. The contrast between purple buds, green leaves, and frosty white trichomes is going to be absolutely stunning come harvest. This is the kind of bud that makes people stop scrolling on Instagram. 📸 The visual quality on this one is going to be exceptional—she's going to photograph like a dream and look premium in the jar. Apple Fritter & Lemon Cherry (Left) - Green Giants While they might not be showing the purple genetics, these two are producing beautiful, classic green flowers with excellent structure and trichome coverage. Current Status: Dense bud formation Healthy green coloration Responding well to the organic feeding program Trichome production ramping up Not every plant needs to be purple to be premium. These girls are going to deliver quality, potency, and terps regardless of color. The Growganica Incredible Bulk Advantage Adding this to the feeding rotation was a smart move. Week 6 is when bulking really kicks into high gear, and the kelp-based nutrients are supporting: Increased bud density and weight Enhanced resin production Micronutrient availability for optimal flower development Natural plant hormones that promote swelling Combined with the Terp Tea Bloom, we're giving these plants everything they need to maximize their genetic potential. Key Observations Color expression is REAL: Lemon Cherry Right is proving that when you give plants the right environment and nutrition, their genetics can fully express. Purple isn't just pretty—it's a sign she's healthy, happy, and doing her thing. Organic feeding consistency matters: No deficiencies, no toxicities, just steady growth. The microbes in the soil are doing their job, breaking down amendments and delivering nutrients on demand. Week 6 is the sweet spot: This is where flower production really accelerates. Each day brings noticeable changes in bud size and density. Bag appeal is already locked in: Even before harvest, you can tell Lemon Cherry Right is going to be a stunner. Sometimes you just know you've got something special growing. Next Week's Plan Continue current feeding schedule - it's working, don't mess with success Monitor purple progression on Lemon Cherry Right (might get even more vibrant!) Support branches if needed - as buds get heavier, stakes/yo-yos might be necessary Watch trichome development - week 7+ is when they really start stacking Maintain optimal environment - keep temps, humidity, and airflow dialed in Take progress photos - especially of that purple beauty for the 'gram 📸 Larry June voice: "Purple flowers, organic power, smooth cultivation every hour..." 🎶 Week 6 flower: Where genetics meet execution, and the results speak for themselves. Let's keep this organic train rolling! 🔥🌿💜 When she starts turning purple in week 6, you know you're doing something right. Bag appeal: SECURED.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la décima semana de floración de estas Gorilla Melón feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores están bien prietas y sacan unos aromas afrutados y dulces increible, palazo de variedad, como se han puesto. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

We start week 7 , 2 weeks to go ! They are doing pretty good , the smell is nice ! Hard feed this week and just water next ! Let me know ur thoughts guys !

Always R.O Water Watering the plant 3 times for per week 1st Watering with nutriens. (750 ppm) (13.03.2023) 4 liter 2st Watering with nutriens. (750 ppm) (16.03.2023) 3 liter 3st Watering with only R.O water & CalMag. (300 ppm) 4 liter 1000 PPFD

Well then - this was a fun week. Two fans in that tent died. Humidity was high. It was packed. I made the choice to pull - what I felt was the weakest plant - and let the other 4 continue on. First plant harvested - Highcloudz 1 - front left purple tall girl in video. I pulled that 0ut - two of the others collapsed. 😂. I had purchased new driveway stakes just cause I thought this would happen - and spent an hour staking up the remaining 4 girls. Highcloudz 1- mega frosty but more skinny buds. Smells delicious. Dinning room table just covered in trichomes. Put her in 60/60 closet….just been hacking all the unfrosty fans off over the course of a few days. The uncrowded tent is so so much better! And two new tower fans - one above- 0ne below. But really - this flower time is killing me - 5 months total for this photo. Epic. Hopefully someone from @Greenhouseseeds sees this. I really have tried my best with these girls and so far, really happy with the harvest. The 5th plant - purple mutant is just the best. Best Yet to come. Two clones - pheno late reveg - of her still running growing.
