She is sticky! She is stinky! She may have another week left 😂

~ 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: 11/12- Week Three of flower, here we go! The FastBuds Tropicana Cookies are all doing great! Two plants, the #1 & #3, are expressing a beautiful dark purple coloration in their flowers, while the #2's flowers are the normal green with snow white pistils and already have a good amount of trichomes formed. I'm continuing to feed them 6 times a day for 15min. each feed, and have adjusted the nutrient level down to 800ppms. The 650R is now 26" above canopy, set to 100% output. 11/14- I'm continuing with daily monitoring of the AirCube reservoir, checking/adjusting ph and topping off with straight water. The solution strength in the reservoir is still hitting 650ppm but is starting to get discolored so I'll be doing a drain/refill in the next 48hrs before it gets funky. 11/17- Today I drained the reservoir and refilled it with straight well water that has a .3 EC(100ppm) to which I added Plagron's Cocos 'A' and 'B' in equal amounts, Green Sensation, and Royal Rush at 1ml/L and 2ml/L respectively. I also added the last dose of silica, then ph'd the solution to 5.7 @ 69℉. I also went through all three plants, adjusting their LST and tucking a few leaves that were blocking light. 11/18- There goes Week 3 of flower and I can't wait for the upcoming weeks where these ladies will really be strutting their stuff! 💚 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!💚

Gorilla Girl XL Auto – Sweet Seeds Woche 6 gesamt | Blüte Woche 1 Die Gorilla Girl XL Auto ist jetzt voll in der Blüte angekommen und liefert direkt stark ab. Der Stretch läuft noch, aber wird langsam kontrollierbarer – sie hat in kurzer Zeit ordentlich an Höhe und Breite zugelegt und füllt den Space jetzt richtig gut aus. Die ersten weißen Pistillen sind überall sichtbar und die Budsites entwickeln sich sauber und gleichmäßig. Vor allem im oberen Bereich bilden sich schon stabile Ansätze für dicke Colas. Die Struktur wirkt sehr aufgeräumt: gute Internodienabstände und viele potenzielle Headbuds durch das vorherige Training. Die Pflanze steht top da – sattes Grün, kräftige Seitentriebe und keinerlei Anzeichen von Mangel oder Stress. Sie nimmt alles an, was man ihr gibt. Licht-Update: Die Leistung wurde jetzt von 60W auf 120W erhöht, was man direkt am Wachstum merkt. Die Pflanze reagiert sehr positiv darauf – kompaktere Entwicklung und mehr Druck auf die Budbildung. Die LED kann bei Bedarf noch bis 180W gefahren werden, aktuell ist aber ein sehr guter Sweet Spot erreicht. Geruchlich geht es jetzt langsam los: leicht süßlich mit einer fruchtig-dieseligen Note im Hintergrund. Noch nicht zu aufdringlich, aber definitiv vorhanden – das wird in den nächsten Wochen eskalieren. Setup / Notes: 120W aktuell → deutlicher Push im Wachstum Bis 180W möglich in späterer Blütephase Stretch noch aktiv, aber unter Kontrolle Sehr gleichmäßige Budentwicklung Keine Probleme bisher Fazit Woche 6: Perfekter Übergang in die Blütephase. Mit dem erhöhten Lichtlevel kommt jetzt richtig Energie rein – wenn das so weiterläuft, wird das eine fette, harzige Ernte 🔥

We’re in the second week of flowering, and the plants are really starting to stretch! 🌿 They’ve gained good height, especially the one without LST, which has grown tall very quickly. It’s been exciting to watch them reach upward as they prepare for the bud development phase. Everything is looking good overall, and I’m happy with the progress so far. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the buds will start forming in the next few weeks! 😁✨

I harvested early due to stuff going on but majority of the plant besides the lower inside nugs are all ready and the rest are just about there. Super fruity smell rn

Flower power Time 🤘🏻🎉🤘🏻 They are starting to pube up so good times ahead Keeping posting Tru the week Removed the lowest 2 branches from some plants 29/10/22 Removed the Layer of perlite and added some soil to top some Pots off also had to remove one cherry cola she looked to sickly and could not get here back healthy so 15 left 31/10/22 The Stretch is coming everything is going great so far

Massive growth and recovery from the calcium deficiency. I really didn't water consistent my enough for the soil grow and it showed compared to my hydro.

Alien vs Triangle seems to have recovered from the extreme bending incident last week. Bud sites are developing nicely. I fed this week with Fox Farm Organic Big Bloom and Recharge. Looking forward to the results.👍

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui in una nuova pagina del diario degli Alberi di Limoni 🍋 Stanno ingrassando lentamente ma la quantità di Thc sembra interessante, molto gelida e dura. La numero 3 sembra quasi pronta. Wtf! I pistilli sono tutti arancioni ormai e h spogliato completamente lei per valorizzare i fiori. Le numero 1 e 2 sembrano avere lo stesso calendario invece, ancora molto indietro.👊 L odore di limone sta prendendo forma, al tatto sulle dita si percepisce prevalentemente questo!😋 Eh niente ragazzi! Le sorelle si nutrono bene e velocemente. Ottimo!👍 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

Diese Woche verlief ohne weitere Probleme. Alles entwickelt sich wie geplant. Die Thripse sind nach der Neemöl-Behandlung nicht mehr zu sehen – scheint gut gewirkt zu haben. Zur Sicherheit habe ich noch AC-Raubmilben ausgebracht, um eventuelle Nachzügler unter Kontrolle zu halten. Außerdem wurden ein paar Blätter entfernt, um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und mögliche Verstecke für Schädlinge zu minimieren. Die Pflanzen sehen gesund aus und wachsen kräftig weiter.

Nothing exciting happened this week. Even the time lapse is boring as it does not show any growth, its almost as if they have gotten into a time warp. The leaves don't seem to be drooping, or really doing anything. This was the last week of nutes as of yesterday I drained and cleaned the water bucket and they are getting straight water now. I see some of the leaves are getting some spots, so I looked that up and it might be they were getting to much nutrients. Well see in the coming how they fair with no nutrients at all. Even though it has continued to be colder here than normal, the room is keeping a good steady temp and humidity. I was hoping the buds would start to get fatter, but that is not happening so far and the smell is still not very prevalent in the room. They are very sticky when touched with a lovely smell on the fingers afterwards. I figure 2 weeks now until harvest with another week or 2 of curing. I purchased a humidifier which will arrive this week just in time to keep the room at the right humidity when they are curing.

1/11 - debating Scrog or no Scrog. I think it will be more trouble than just training with the rubber wire 1/12 - can't keep my hands off, but exercised moderation. I restrained 2 of the shoots off of the biggest top, im letting the others grow out so I can get a better grip. The stems are getting so fat!! 1/14 - feeding today 2L distilled water 1060ppm 5.9pH 72.5*F GROW 3g Kelp 0.25g Cal/Mag 0.54g ominA 0.55g Microbes Grow Stage 2g Enzymes 0.14g 1/15 - She's starting be to a really big bush! I need her to grow out a bit so I can let her grow up and then move to flower. Update: worked on spreading out all of the tops to the edges of the pot. She is perfect! 1/16 - shss back to full bush after l trained her last night. Forming up exactly the way I was hoping. She will be massive short stack 1/17 - did a decent defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking light and air opening up the smaller tops. I also bound the main tops further out to the edges of the pot. She is definitely going to be massive!! feeding today 2L distilled water 1090ppm 6.0pH 69*F GROW 3.15g Kelp 0.21g Cal/Mag 0.56g ominA 0.55g Microbes Grow Stage 2.02g Enzymes 0.13g Update: she already recovered most of the canopy 4 hours after the dedoliation!

• French Macaron got planted into her 30 gallon fabric pot packed with HEAVILY-AMENDED Roots 707 soil. – No more BS soil for me. Back to the good stuff! • Took clones of the Chem Brûlée and Pineapple Meatball to determine sex •Those girls are extremely root bound at this point... but don't want to accidentally transplant a male into the BIG pots since I am on a plant count restriction (6 mature plants in California) Here's my Super Soil Recipe: Sonoma Sungrown 2021 Photoperiod Soil Recipe Makes ~8 cubic feet of Supersoil (enough for 3x30 gallon smart pots) 7 cubic feet Roots 707 Potting Soil .5 cubic foot worm castings 1.25 lbs. bone meal 1.25 lbs. fish bone meal 2.5 lbs. high phosphorus bat guano 2.5 lbs. blood meal 1.5 cups oyster shell 1.5 cups kelp meal 1.5 cups alfalfa meal 1/3 cup Epsom salts 1/2 cup agricultural lime 1 cup Azomite 1 tbsp granular humic acid 1 tbsp mycorrhizae (mykos)

NOTE 1: Afgooey Auto pheno #3 turns out it's a MALE. Resembled nothing like her two sisters ran at the same time. In fact, I had to move her to the 12/12 tent to initiate flowering. Little did I know or expect She would be a He. Lola by the Kinks is rattling round my brain about now ;) FEEL FREE TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ;) 2x4 French Macaron - at the time of this posting, FM is heading into week 8 flower. Second extensive flushing w/fresh rain water due to acidic conditions (ph >5). Been struggling with ph the entire flowering. I speculate ph issues due to over feeding. Ph is roughly 5.8 to 6.0 after flushing. At this point, flushing with plain RO water until harvest. NOTE 2: I've introduced two 5 gallon bubble buckets into the 2x4 grow tent. Both buckets have medium air stones running from a 125 gph air pump. Given French Macaron isn't scheduled for harvest until mid-January, I might not have cutting ready. First grow may have to be from seed. Update later. 3x3 Afgooey Autos and clones from previous grow - Afgooey #1 and #2 are firing on all cylinders. #2 running a bit acidic (>5), so flushed back to neutral with roughly 7-8 gallons of fresh rain water ph at 7.0 to 7.2. Same with clones (i.e., ph very low). Flushed with fresh rain water too. A couple days later plants look so much better. Wait till plants nearly dry before next watering. Trimmed and cleaned up three of the clones growing weird. Felt a bit like trimming a bonzai tree. Let's see how they respond.

Already fed these seedlings first day out. Looking forward for a larger plan in V2. This should be a flavourful growth I await the development of these girls.

White Chrystal Meth Auto 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 ~~~~04.20.23~~~~ “DAY 72 Above Ground” 📝Sunday 07.02.23 - This lady has lagged behind the others who started at the same time, they are in their projected harvest window, but feel they need another few weeks. 📝Wednesday 06.28.23 - The buds continue to pack on weight and ripen, the smell in the tent is amazing, fed with a Mayan tea from Humbolt Nutrients, loved the way it looked, they have great products. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 🌱White Chrystal Meth Auto 👨‍🌾🏽Grown By: MrJones 🔆@medicgrow420 @originalsensibleseeds

7 months after planting her from seed the day is finally here. A little earlier than I would of liked due to insects (crickets/grasshoppers eating buds) but she's thereabouts finished. Probably lost 1/3 of buds from the chewing insects but still a big yield and my drying room is full 😊 She survived two rainy season's and some serious wind from a tropical depression back in September. I have kept this grow completely organic so no pesticide or chemical fertilizers used. Apart from heavily amending the soil at the start I mostly fed her crabmeal once a month and seaweed and molasses in most waterings. A few of those waterings were diluted with my urine 😆👌 NPK right!? Why not.. then at the end I added a cultured pro biotic yogurt to the soil 2 days before I harvested. (Tip from a fellow grower @med_in_tropic - thanks bro) Not sure if it made any difference as I cannot compare with another plant but, the plant starting smelling like lemon furniture polish.. like a lemon scent with a fuel undertone. Almost menthol like 🤷‍♂️.. smells amazing. Me and my wife drank tea from the trimming and the citrusy flavour came though into the tea which was nice. Weather wise the temperature is down now to around 16c at night with RH around 50% so the buds should dry much slower than the last harvest so I should get a better flavour profile. Smoke report to follow after she has been in a jar for a week or so.. I did try a bud sample a few weeks back and the taste then was already pleasant so for sure this will be fire... 🔥 Thanks for all the kind comments, this was my first ever grow start to finish. Already looking forward to next season 😁
