Hey there, fellow cultivator! Super stoked to share the deets on my latest pheno hunt sponsored by the awesome Anesia Seeds. Massive shoutout to them for hooking me up with a bunch of killer genetics, including Future#1, Zoomiez, Apricot Oreo, and the almost mythical Red Banana Pudding. It's like Christmas came early with those seeds! So, here's the lowdown on my germination game. I went old-school with the water soak, letting those seeds party for about 42 hours until they cracked and showed off their taproots. Then, I gently transferred them to a cozy root riot in a small pot, sprinkling some Aptus Holland Mycormix magic to give those roots a VIP welcome. All this went down in a mini greenhouse dome, 'cause these babies deserve a superstar entrance. Now, why the water dance and the root riot ritual? Buckle up for the benefits ride: Water Soak: This gets those seeds in the mood for germination. It's like a wake-up call for the sleeping beauties, ensuring they're hydrated and ready to kick off their journey. Root Riot with Aptus Holland Mycormix: Think of this as a five-star hotel for your roots. The mycormix acts as a friendly guide, helping the roots explore the soil universe. It's like giving your plants a GPS for optimal growth. Greenhouse Dome: It's like a VIP club for your seedlings. This microclimate ensures they stay cozy and protected as they sprout into the world. Massive thanks to Aptus Holland, my main sponsor and the rockstars behind the only organic mineral line I trust. These guys know their stuff when it comes to plant nutrition, and my green buddies are gonna thrive, no doubt. Huge gratitude to Future Of Grow for the LED love. Those photons are gonna be like disco lights for my plants, giving them the energy they need to flex and flourish. And let's not forget Grow Diaries! This is where the magic unfolds, and I'll be documenting every twist and turn of this grow journey. Big shoutout to the community – you guys are the real MVPs! So, here's to a groovy, green adventure ahead. Thanks, Anesia Seeds, for trusting me with these genetics. Let the grow games begin!

These are the last images before harvest. I turned the lights off and will let them be in the dark for 24+ hours. I will then proceed cutting/hanging and drying them.

Hey guys welkome back in week 14 this will be the last week of flowering, yesterday i gave the last part of nutrients and ill start flushing and continue doing till next week monday that will be harvest day, Im very excited!! After cutting them down ill at least let them dry for a week and after that week il put the buds in glass jars for 2 weeks (at least 2 week without me smoking it...) As soon the buds go in the jar the NL X Haze will be put in to flower for atleast 8 weeks or so. After that ill cut clones from the “leftover” NL X Haze for outdoor growing. Thats it, see you guys at the harvest next week!!

8/3 I didnt take any pics today. I had an emergency this morning. I will upload pictures tomorrow. I have noticed some slight deficiencies. I decided to up my feed to two gallons twice a week. I'll see how that goes. Heat stressed slurricane is recovering nicely. I need to do a spray if spinosad at some point. One plant has large holes I assume from hoppers or ear wigs. 8/4 We had a tropical storm warning all day yesterday. Things were fine. However it is supposed to be much worse today with that Isiah hurricane coming up the coast. We should miss most of it. I watered as we arent expecting much rain. I'm considering putting tarps around the entire structure before night to block the wind and stake the fence SECURELY in place. I'll play it by ear. 8/5 Waaaawho! Trop storm warning canceled. Plants are in perfect shape. Not a broken branch to be seen. PH is at 6.3 which is much better. 8/6 I did slight LST on one mendo breath. I'm amazed by this garden everyday. Soil PH is down to 6.3 for most plants. I upped my feeding schedule. I fed today. This time I mixed 3 gallons and added beastie bloom to one of the containers. I split that between the two flowering mendo breaths and used the others to feed the rest. I'm hoping my new feeding schedule wont back fire one me. I killed a worm this morning. Despite plants looking good I think it's going to he do for another application of spinosad. I have work to do cleaning the inside of the plants and more LST. This shit certainly is not for the lazy man. Happy growing everyone. Plants were dry in the PM so I watered. 8/7 Plants look great. The two ten gallons look a little over watered but that's fine. It's still real early on the morning anyway. Planning on applying spinosad tonight. Mendo is really going into flower. At least the 2 phenoms that looked the same are flowering. The reveg monster crop is further behind but hey we still have over 14h of light. Applied spinosad to one plant. 8/8 I watered this morning only to have a strange thunder storm drop a whole bunch more water. Oh well. I plan to spray tonight. Broke a small bottom branch. I made it into cuttings. Too burnt too do this right now. 8/9 Its hard to check PH but it seems my PH is around 7.2 for the most part. I've been procrastinating and need to clean out these plants, feed and spray. I'm planning on going back tonight and doining one or all of those. I'll add some pics. PM FED with the above schedule minus micro brew and 1tsp tb. Approximately 3 1/2 gallons. Plan to spray tomm.

Day 43. so main change, i lost my mobile and i had really loads of photos and videos of ex grows. i blacklisted it, but still... from now i will reduce amount of post and updates, it is stupid, but i cant risk ... Girls all week on diet, looks like only one Gorilla is starving a bit and would need more, but in my plans last watering with molases this time only. They already had runs with silica only. cal mag only x2. Think worm castings was an isue, control garden grows really fine, will be my smallest plants ever, they will have 3 weeks in total for veg. Happy growing and dont loose your mobiles, huge pain .... Day 48. Gorillas are really nice and i cant denny it, but .... Cookies are worst experience ever... They just dont want to grow and show up new issue the second you fight one.... I even made control garden with more than years old beans of Incredible Bulk and bagseed Strawberry Cough. Both strains grow ok, but not Cookie !!! Thats honestly wrong genetics, unless someone prove me wrong, open for your advices ... Hard training again, still on pure water diet with calmag or silica or molases as small bonus while no feed for two weeks + .... Lights are out because training took longer than i wanted. ... Next week they go to 24 hours darkness and light is changed to 12/12. That was last week of really hard training, now i will wait for green mass of leaves to cover stems and hope they will make some buds ;)) Choose your beans wisier than me ... Happy growing !!!

Hey all! 👋 Remember last week when I said Falco was getting some chlorosis? Well, the first photos show how bad it is (or was) but the plant is "old", she was quite special as a young plant and her main leaves are doing well so I suppose what is happening is just something normal or maybe some other weird factor... might be affecting her, but more probably I'm just way too worried. In my confusion I added 2ml of Green Grow (which is the growing fertilizer I previously used) thinking that she needed the extra nitrogen but in the end it seems it was unnecessary (as it's a normal process of the plant), I just removed the old leaves and left her to be. 😝 Besides what I previously said I saw a lot of bud progress this week (and I tried to picture all that! 😋). There are plenty photos of the same flower (most of the times!) showing how trichomes were constantly appearing during this week. Next week I'll be adding some extra Potassium and Phosphorus and I hope those products will help my babies to get bigger buds! I also made a video at the end of the week to show how my plants look at a normal speed plus two time-lapses. There are also some photos I took with my DSLR and an inverse ring just to see how the plant would look... and I think they look amazing! 😍 Anyway, I hope you all like the photos and thanks for reading! 👋

All pics are from Day 42/start of week 7. As you can see she received some defoliation and some serious LST. She is very dense and until the stems harden I will continue to pull the branches outwards. She will resemble the Zkittlez I ran this summer. Can’t wait to see the results. Back half of pictures are from Day 49 end of week 7. All leaves grew immensely I needed to defoliate once again. Last major defoliation.

Noticed leaf burn with 3 plants sprayed with MJat 147ppm(.5ml) No leaf burn with the .1Bras sprays I wonder how long both are good for. Also, can i pour the unused spray in the medium? I just dont want to waste it. Plants are noticeably more vigorous. I am wondering if now is a good time for my defoliation. i was planning for Week 5. I feel like the buds are to developed for me to be pruning off lower buds and makes me feel like i should have pruned beginning of week4 __________

Getting rather toasty in my sealed unairconditioned garage/car port grow 90f+. Having to adapt to extreme conditions is always challenging but I find silica works very well to help the old girls deal. Let it be said I much prefer the winter here in southern california for growing my buds!!! Anyone got any tips for growing in this kinda heat?

Flowering Day 2: Hope the video shows them well enough. These girls are amazing growers. #1 has gone big with the stretch. i expect her to be the best yield. #2 and 4 are more squat in structure so lean on the indica side i think. #3 is similar in height to 1 but is nowhere near as big. Now the stretch is done i can plan the day 7 defol and strip out of all the small whispy rubbish that will just steal nutes and energy away from the worthy ones. i plan to keep some lower fans without their buds to give extra photosynthesis to assist the others.

~ 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! "* *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 •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: 11/8- The first full week of flower is here for the FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla auto's and they are all looking fantastic! The feed schedule of six 15 minute feeds daily continues with a 900ppm nutrient level. The HLG 650R remains at 100% output, and is hung 30" from the canopy now as I had to raise it for some taller plants in the tent. 11/10- The Strawberry Gorilla's just hit the one week mark in their flowering and the #2 definitely has the most developed flowers of the three plants, with the #1 and #3's flowers about equal in development. I'm continuing to adjust the LST wires on all three plants to try and keep as much light penetration down into the centers of the plants which has been working well. I have also removed a shade leaf here and there when necessary. 11/12- Today I drained, cleaned the reservoir and distribution bucket, then refilled the reservoir with 90L of 70℉ well water to which Plagron nutrients were added to give a 900ppm concentration, then ph'd to 5.8. All I am doing now in between drain/refills of the reservoir is adding straight water to maintain the 90L level and checking the ph. Over the course of the 7 days in between reservoir changes the ppm's will slowly drop, but will still be adequate, never dropping below 750ppm's. The plants are really doing well in this AirCube system and I'm slowly getting a better handle on its 'in's & out's'. I did also check the ppm's of the return solution to see if there was a wide variance from what was going in, and all was good with only a 50-100ppm difference. 11/14- There goes a full week of flower for the FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla's! They all should really get going in the next couple of weeks and I can't wait to see their progression through flower! 💚 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!💚
