Ok

Day 7 - This little lady is doing great, will probably be transplanting her in about a week! The other bean still never popped! Thanks for following & make sure to check In for daily updates! Happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 8 - Still going strong💪🏻

Bruce Banner #3 fast is just finishing up. Probably gonna be a little on the over done side by the time I can harvest it. 8 days is plan for harvest. I turned the Hortibloom Solux 350 down to 50 percent. I will likely go to 25 percent in a few days. Just to hopefully slow the ripening if I can. It smells good, and has some nice frost on the buds. She is just waiting on her time in the cannatrol. I really need a second one for times like this. Too many plants comming in at once. 🤣 thank you Hortibloom, and The Orginal Sensibile seeds company. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

This week an unclear problem occurred, many sheets wrapped up and looked like a chicken paw, I assumed that this was due to a powerful fan, reduced power, I was observing

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2206 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 1/19- Here we go into Week Four of flower and these testers are ON FIRE!🔥🔥🔥 Both testers are in a flower frenzy and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls their last top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3-4 weeks after that which should coincide with them finishing up, or close to it, enabling them to naturally 'flush' themselves out. I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #1 pheno stays in a perpetual state of 'praying'.... a VERY happy girl she is and the #2 is just an enormous plant with tons of bud sites and flowers that are starting to get a coating of white trichomes giving them that frosty appearance! 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water each with GreenGro's Natures Brix, Granular Myco and Flower Finisher mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. They'll be getting straight water from here moving forward as the medium has enough food in it to support them until they finish. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with both girls receiving 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. OMG they're both looking fantastic, both are amazing cultivars with a generous coating of trichomes beginning to cover their flowers. I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where these ladies should really start to turn it up a notch!! 😍💚 😎💚 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 Strong! 💪😎🤙

🍋🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 8 From Seed Week 4 Flower (12/12) The Room Is in Full Reproductive Mode ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — The Road to Week 4 12/12 from seed. No extended veg. Early structure built under restraint. Defoliation last week to open airflow and light pathways. And now? We are no longer initiating flowers. We are building them. Week 4 is the bridge between stretch and stacking. This is where architecture becomes yield. ⸻ 🌿 Structural Expression — Why These Girls Stand Out Lemon Cherry Gelato isn’t the tallest in the room. But structurally? Among the most dominant. Wide lateral branching. Thick stems. Uniform top distribution. Deep, lush green coloration. Post-defoliation response was extremely strong. No stall. No sulking. No nutrient imbalance signals. You wouldn’t guess they were stripped last week. That tells us: • Root system is robust. • Environmental stability is real. • Carbohydrate reserves were sufficient. • Stress recovery window was optimal. Week 4 recovery like this sets up week 6 density. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Analysis — High Energy, High Demand Current conditions: • Canopy temp: ~28°C • RH: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s This is a metabolically aggressive room. At ~28°C with enriched CO₂, plants can process higher photon density efficiently. But week 4 flower adds a new layer: Bud mass is forming. Transpiration shifts. Microclimate inside the canopy thickens. 70% RH at this density is not ideal long-term. Not panic territory — but now it’s a countdown. Over the next 7–10 days, gradual RH reduction will be necessary as stacking intensifies. Airflow and undercanopy lighting are currently preventing stagnation — and it shows. No mold indicators. No soft tissue collapse. No stress clawing. But vigilance increases from here. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy — Controlled Intensity Main lighting intensity has increased with canopy height. At week 4: 1300 µmol/m²/s is high. But with CO₂ enrichment and no bleaching, they’re tolerating it. We are not chasing light for ego. We are watching leaf posture. Currently: • No tacoing. • No upper bleaching. • No stress fade. That means intensity is within metabolic capacity. ⸻ 🔦 Undercanopy Lighting — Minor Burn Explained Let’s address it clearly. One branch showed minor localized burn from undercanopy proximity. Why now in week 4? Because: • Bud mass increases reflectivity. • Leaf angle changes. • Tissue sensitivity rises during reproductive build phase. The under-light hit a close node. Symptoms: • Slight edge burn. • No necrotic spread. • No systemic reaction. Action: • Light repositioned. • Distance corrected. • Continued daily inspection. Response: She stabilized immediately. This is why daily plant handling matters. Yes, we physically take them out. Yes, it’s work. Yes, it’s worth it. ⸻ 💧 Root Zone & Feeding — Transition to Potassium Demand Soil EC: ~0.9 Watering EC: ~2.4 pH: ~6.5 Medium temp: ~22.5°C Moisture: ~94% with active dry-backs In week 4 flower, demand shifts: Nitrogen importance decreases. Potassium and phosphorus importance increase. Micronutrient balance becomes critical. Dry-back rhythm is stable. No EC stacking. No salt stress. No overwatering symptoms. They are drinking aggressively. That’s what you want entering bud expansion phase. ⸻ 🌸 Pistil Development — Now It Means Something Different In week 1, pistils signal initiation. In week 4, pistil density signals stacking potential. Right now we see: • Dense white pistil clusters. • Even site distribution. • No re-veg behavior. • No hormonal confusion. Flower genes are not just active. They are stabilized. The plant has committed to reproduction. What happens in the next 10–14 days determines final structure weight. ⸻ The Room Is Alive — But Heavier From the time-lapse frames: The room looks thicker now. More mass between nodes. Less empty space. Leaves are still praying. Stems are supporting weight confidently. No structural bending yet. We move plants daily: • Watering outside tent. • Full inspection. • Leaf repositioning. • Light proximity adjustments. This is not automation farming. This is hands-on cultivation. The room breathes. We respond. ⸻ What To Expect — Weeks 5–6 Stretch will fully slow Vertical stacking will accelerate Calyx swelling will begin RH must gradually drop Light intensity may need micro-adjustments Trichome heads will begin visible formation This is density window opening. ⸻ 🚫 What Not To Expect No dramatic fade yet No final terpene expression No harvest timing predictions No heavy amber trichomes We are mid-race. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — Because This Is Shared To GrowDiaries — for hosting the documentation. To the GD community — the observers and the critics. To Discord — Dogs University — where we break things down deeper. To Instagram — the visual storytellers. To sponsors — past and present. To the OG followers. To the new ones. To the lovers. To the skeptics. To the haters. Everyone shapes the process. Growth is friction plus intention. And Lemon Cherry Gelato, week 4 flower?

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.

She looks amazing. I think she could handle few days more however I’m having some issues in my place so I chopped today on day 98 from this run I think now it will yield more than the others

~ 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: 11/26- My oh my! Week 5 of flower's here and these ladies are looking sexy as hell!🔥🤪 11/28- All three Tropicana Cookies are getting to the point that it's time to begin flushing them. My dilemma is that, with six pots in the closed loop system and three of them occupied by a different strain that is 10+ days behind the Tropicana Cookies, I can't run straight water through the system to flush without negatively affecting the other strain that is right in the middle of flower. My solution that I've come up with is to pull the Tropicana Cookies from the AirCubes and put them on drip trays so that I can flush them without affecting the flowering of the three plants from the other strain. *Note to self: When starting a run with this system, MAKE SURE ALL six plants break ground together! Also growing a single strain would be way better than mixing strains with this system as you can only give one strength of nutrients regardless of what each particular plant needs for optimum growth. 11/30- Today was the LAST day that these ladies have to sit in the AirCubes. This evening, right after 'lights on', I pulled all three plants from the AirCubes and placed them on plastic drip trays that hold a little over 2L. When I pulled them the first thing I noticed (besides the odor) was the amount of roots that were growing outside of the fabric pot (I thought they were supposed to 'air prune' the roots) and the copious brown slime coating the inside of the bucket and the bottom of the fabric pot...smh. So, from here on out I'll be manually flushing all three with 2L each of straight well water that has a 150ppm base, to which I add 1/64th teaspoon of NPK Yucca Extract, then I ph it to 6.0 @ 68℉. After flushing, I wait around 15min, then I use a wet vac to remove the runoff from the drip tray. 12/2- I'm continuing to flush all three at an interval of 3 times daily with 2L of water and they all are doing fantastic! The #3 is starting to fade, and the pistils on both the #1 and #2 are turning color from snow white to a darker tan or red, and I anticipate their fade to begin sometime soon. Well Fam, there's five weeks of flower on the books and these ladies are just about ready to finish up! See you next week for what could be the finish for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! 😎🙏💖 💚 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!💚

Hello 😊

Buds are starting to mature.

no new balls. but some seeds

Official entry for the Best Tiny Pot. "Mephy" the Piggy Dank. Custom design/print, so she's Ultra Rare. Her grow volume is also a WHOPPING 220.9 ml / .05835 g / .0002209 m³ 😅 /// Planning to run her like a very small / fast bonsai. Going with a Mephisto "Freebie": Strawberry Nuggets x Forum Stomper. Good luck to everyone else! You all inspired me to jump in. ✌️🌱 Edit: 10/4/22 - Taproot came out 10/6/22 - Soil break

D29 Topped all her main node sites, going from 4 to 8 branches. Defoliated canopy to reduce overlap and promote airflow since I saw minor bites in my leafs. D31 ALL my new growth looked brown? This combined with the increasing biteholes in my leafs told me I had to act. I suspected the brown growth to be a root/overwatering issue so made sure to hold off on watering for now. For the bugs I used a 3% hydrogen peroxide dilluted 1:10 in a spray bottle with water. Sprayed leafs bottom and top till drenched, kept coming back every day to spray whenever i felt like it. D34 No increase in any signs of bugs, all new growth was completely green, new branches growing out. Seems like the treatment worked and decided to feed again since soil 10cm deep was dry. 4L with 0.5:1000 calmag 1.5:1000 grow and 1:1000 PR. Watering slowly to ensure even distribution of water throughout soil, want that rootmass to grow huge! D35 Weather forecast for upcoming weeks looks amazing, moved her outside again. Since the autos im currently running need light priority for early vigorous growth, my Frisian lady had to make do with very low PPFD levels (80-250). All things considered she performed really well this week recovering from bugs, root issues and very low light intensity.

Not much work was needed this week — the Strawberry Gorilla continues to develop beautifully on her own. The buds are stacking very nicely along the branches and are steadily gaining both size and density. Trichome production is also progressing well, giving the flowers an increasingly frosty appearance. I’m starting to see some slight signs of heat-induced foxtailing on a few tops, but nothing dramatic or concerning at this point. Overall, the plant still looks very healthy and productive. For now, there’s not much left to do besides keeping an eye on her and letting those buds continue to bulk up.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Por el momento todo va bien tienen buen color, van ahí formándose esas flores y empezando a tricotar guay. Alimentamos nuestras plantas con Agrobeta. Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2 y riego en intervalos de 48h. La temperatura está entorno al 22/24 grados y la humedad anda sobre el 50%. Las plantas en si ya están bien sanas, tutore la rama principal para que no se fuese de madre, y así controlaré la altura. Yo creo que en 1 o 2 semanas podré darles machetazo, pero ya vamos viendo estas semanas. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Overall I was very satisfied with this grow. Pyramid seeds did a excellent job with this strain I highly recommend it to all growers new and experienced. It’s a easy to grow plant does really well in veg. I give this grow a 9 out of 10.

such an beautyful strain! the colors are really outstanding and the scent is incredible! loads of resin production on this one, not the highest yield but insane quality!
