6. Woche Das Mainlining ist abgeschlossen und jetzt darf sie sich auf die Blüte konzentrieren. Das Mainlining war etwas stressig für sie aber am Ende hat sie sich wie ein echter Champion durchgebissen 😉😊

Very big yield for such a small plant, this plant got topped my other ones without topping grow way bigger. the plant starts slow but once she start budding it goes all by very fast also a heavy drinker. The smell is also intense when they flower, never had so much THC on leaves everywhere when trimming. this is definitly a keeper for its speed and yield. Dry bud weight was 85grams and 4 topped like this one can easy fit under 400watt

All seeds germinated, happy to see all the girls starting nice .o n to the next step

~ 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: 10/22- The Tropicana cookies are going into their third week of veg, and their fourth week since breaking ground. All three are looking great, with the #1 pheno having the darkest green coloration and super tight node spacing, and the #2 which is looking super healthy, with much wider node spacing. The #3's color is not yet where I'd like to see it, but it has been steadily improving over time. Their feedings of Plagron nutrients continue three times daily and I'm monitoring the reservoir before each, adjusting the nutrient level to 650-700ppm @ 5.9-6.2 ph. The tent environment has remained dialed in with the VPD averaging 1.40kpa over the last seven days. 10/24- Today I drained, cleaned and flushed the AirCube reservoir and 'brain bucket', then filled it with 70L of 74℉ well water. After filling I added the Plagron nutrients separately and also began adding in Plagron Royal Rush. The Tropicana Cookies are responding well to the feeding schedule, and are also tolerating the increased light output which I now have set to 80% along with setting the co2 levels to 1100-1400ppm. 10/26- The #1 pheno has some huge shade leaves that are blocking her side branches, and are an absolute bitch to keep tucked out of the way. I'm contemplating removing a few to allow the side branches more light so that they'll be able to grow out. Today I added 1/2 tsp. of Yucca Extract to the reservoir which will aid in feeding by acting as a surfactant, increasing the wetting ability of the solution. I am continuing the feedings of Plagron nutrients three times daily, and I'm monitoring the reservoir before each, adjusting the nutrient level to 650-700ppm @ 5.9-6.2 ph. The solution temperature is maintaining a steady 73-75℉. As a side note; as the weather gets colder I may install a heat mat, controlled by a thermostat, under the reservoir to ensure proper temp's in it. 10/28- There goes another week for the FastBuds Tropicana cookies and they're all shaping up to be beautiful cultivars, with some slight differences between them which makes the grow interesting! Our weather has warmed up the past couple of days. Because of this I've had to lower the light output to 55% in order to keep the tent temp's below 82℉. The Tropicana Cookies are showing zero sign of heat stress so I'm not terribly concerned, especially as the weather will be dramatically cooling off in a day or two. The #2 and #3 pheno's are showing signs of the beginning of flower, ans I went ahead and removed four of the huge shade leaves on the #1 as they were too big to tuck and blocked a ton of light from the side branches. Hopefully now the #1 will start to bush out with all the additional light reaching into the interior of the plant. I'm also continuing to tuck shade leaves daily on all three girls, and have been gently bending down their side branches as well. I upped the nutrient ppm level to 800 with the addition of Plagron's Royal Rush 8-0-0 which will continue in their feeding through flower. I'll also be adding Plagron Green Sensation in another 7-10 days which will also continue through flowering. I hope to see you next week... Growers Love!💚 💚 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!💚

✂️ Harvest – Flowering Week 12 | Day 78 (17 weeks total) Harvest day for the Future #1 plants. Both plants were cut after a total runtime of 17 weeks from germination. ⚖️ Wet Weight Future #1 #1: 1135 g Future #1 #2: 1150 g Both plants delivered strong yields, with only minor variation between the two. 🌿 Overall Impression Visually, the result is very solid. The buds are dense, well-formed, and show a good level of resin production. The run remained stable through to harvest, with no major issues affecting the final outcome. All material is now hanging to dry, with final results to be evaluated after trimming and dry weight assessment. A long run overall, but a consistent and worthwhile finish. 🌿💪

🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno B | Week 4 Nine Fingers of Perfection If her sister impressed me this week, Pheno B absolutely stole the spotlight. This is exactly why I love documenting each phenotype individually. Two plants, grown from the same pack of seeds, living in the same room, drinking the same nutrients, receiving the same light and environmental conditions… yet expressing themselves in completely different ways. And this lady decided to make an entrance. The first thing that catches my eye isn’t her height or even her branching… It’s those magnificent nine-finger fan leaves. Large, perfectly formed, beautifully symmetrical, and reaching toward the light like solar panels engineered by nature itself. Every time I walk into the room, I find myself stopping for a second just to admire them. Sometimes the simplest details become the most beautiful part of the journey. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Week four has been all about momentum. The root system is clearly well established now, allowing the plant to shift its energy into vigorous vegetative growth. Every branch is becoming thicker, every internode stronger, and the overall structure feels incredibly balanced. Compared to last week, she’s noticeably fuller while still maintaining excellent spacing between growth sites. The canopy is beginning to spread naturally, making future training easier with every passing day. One characteristic that really stands out is her calmness. She simply looks comfortable. No unnecessary stretching. No signs of stress. No complaints. Just healthy, steady growth. ⸻ 🌿 Those Incredible Nine-Finger Leaves I have to dedicate a section to these because… honestly… they deserve it. Those enormous nine-finger fan leaves are simply gorgeous. Wide blades. Perfect symmetry. Strong petioles. Beautiful texture. Deep, healthy green colour. Each leaf is functioning like a giant solar panel, collecting every possible photon from the Future of Grow LEDs and converting it into energy for explosive growth. They’re not just beautiful to look at—they’re a fantastic indication that the plant is photosynthesizing efficiently and building the energy reserves she’ll need once flowering really begins. Sometimes growers become obsessed with removing leaves too early. Personally, I look at leaves like these and think… “Why would I remove one of the plant’s biggest energy factories?” For now, they’re staying exactly where nature intended. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training continues to remain gentle and patient. Instead of heavy manipulation, I’m allowing the plant to dictate the pace while simply guiding branches into better positions using Low Stress Training. Large fan leaves are carefully tucked whenever necessary, exposing developing shoots underneath without sacrificing photosynthetic capacity. It’s amazing how quickly the lower branches respond once they receive just a little more light. Each adjustment is small, but together they slowly create a flatter, more productive canopy that should pay dividends later in flower. Sometimes less really is more. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The feeding schedule remains exactly where the plant wants it. Current solution: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Adjusted to: * pH 6.1 * EC 1.35 mS/cm The plant continues responding beautifully, with healthy new growth appearing daily and no indication that any adjustments are needed. When the leaves tell you they’re happy, the smartest decision is often to simply keep doing what you’re doing. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues running remarkably well considering the outside temperatures. Current environment: • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C Although daytime temperatures remain relatively high, stable irrigation, consistent humidity, healthy root development and continuous airflow are allowing the entire room to thrive. It’s another reminder that plants respond to the complete environment, not just a single number on a thermometer. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Forward Over the coming week I’ll continue opening the canopy through gentle leaf tucking while allowing those side branches to establish themselves before the flowering stretch begins. If she continues growing with this kind of balance and vigour, I expect a beautifully structured plant with excellent light penetration and multiple strong flowering sites. And if those nine-finger leaves are any indication… She’s only just getting started. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Every week this experiment becomes more interesting. Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed removes many of the variables associated with long vegetative periods and allows each genotype to reveal its natural behaviour much earlier. Some plants stretch. Some remain compact. Some develop incredible branching. And then you find a phenotype like this one that immediately captures your attention with extraordinary foliage. That’s exactly why I wanted to document every phenotype separately. No two plants tell the same story, even when every variable around them remains identical. For me, that’s where the real magic of growing begins. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, a heartfelt thank you to everyone following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning, discovered the diary recently, leave encouraging comments, ask questions, share advice, or simply enjoy watching these plants evolve each week… thank you. Every visit, every conversation, and every bit of support helps make this project even more rewarding. I’d also like to thank the GrowDiaries community and platform for giving growers from around the world a place to document, learn, and inspire one another. Special thanks to the amazing companies helping bring this project to life: 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the outstanding Godfather OG genetics. 💜 Plagron — for the reliable nutrition that keeps these plants thriving from week to week. 💡 Future of Grow — for delivering the powerful lighting that fuels every stage of development. And finally… Thank you for joining me on this 8×8 journey. Every phenotype teaches us something new, and sharing those lessons with this community is one of the most rewarding parts of the entire experience. Until next week’s update… Growers Love and keep growing, keep learning, and never stop appreciating the little details—sometimes they have nine perfect fingers. 🌿💚

I done some top dress on the girls and using plain water with 6.5Ph then doing some defoliation on day 26 and 2 day after defoliation I feed with compost tea to help reduce stress and the girls seem to love it there week 4 done so far so good

SoCal Outdoor, 3.9g Autopots, coco, jacks RO Blue Gelato 41 is in week 3 of flower and still stretching. The plants range from 68-78 inches tall with thick 2” trunks. Two months old, unbelievable….. 3.9 gallon pots. Defoliated the plants twice this week to promote lollipoping and airflow. Little signs of nute stress as I added some koolbloom to punch the PK up. No pests, but the caterpillars 🐛 are definitely gonna show in a few weeks for sure. The Autopots are holding up pretty well. But I think the 3.9g pots will stunt the gelatos growth possibilities. My runtz is in a 15g fabric pot stuffed into an Autopot XXL and although it was about 6”tall 4 weeks ago - it is almost as big as the gelatos and growing faster every day. I have to move these to my secret spot and get them out of sight before they start stinking. Next, I’m gonna have to net them to keep the caterpillars out.

Some hairs have started turning orange one has stretched quite a bit compared to other two idk why * edited to fix the led in pictures

I found a humidifyer the same day, that somehow arrived the next day! I use rubberbands to manipulate the canopy into being more flat and then I waited how it looks. I think I should bend it a bit more, but I am scared to hurt her .. I also silicone for the sealing, to be bit more sure, because it didnt look good enough for me. I am still not satisfied and will remove everything and start from scratch after this lady. I want the sealing to be absolutely perfect! But she looks really good to me. I like how it works, and it feels way easier than imagined! since I stayed with the all mix when the soil arrived, I dont think I need to feed it until bloom, since I heard, that the all mix has nutritens for 4 weeks

Week 2 (Day 14) Flower- New BP 2500 was installed Sept. 17th, the girls are loving the full spectrum and extra watts they are getting now 😎😊 found a cool feature in iPhones when you click to edit a photo, the magnifier effect. It’s pretty cool. The week went well, started to form bud sites and pistils. Temp and RH have been steady. No deficiencies yet 🤞

she with her strong smell ... she has only a couple of weeks to wait ... and here the begining started to lower the temperature and shortened the days ... she will be productive ... with her buds fat ... the stems have begun to bend ... smell of mint between earth and firewood ... a good smell ... 100% recommendable ...

Day 34 she’s a little droopy and upset with me. She would have preferred to be watered last night. Oh well she will perk up in 15 mins. Looking beautiful and started to flower now she got defoliated a tad bit she’s looking wonderful. Very happy with how she’s chugging along.

A scent that’s impossible to describe — it’s like sweet bubble gum with a hint of wine. Pure beauty!

Les plantes on doublé de taille . Début d'aparition des bourgeons.

Bueno Farmers un error por ni contar la época de Pre-Flora entramos ahora semana 2 de flora, ya empieza salir la resina...sobre todo la Royal Gorila. No podremos pasar a led de momento próximamente mas novedades compañeros!🍁

Pistils changing color no idea how longs left now but would assume Atleast 2 weeks

Experienced some light burn this week. Quickly figured out a solution to get my lights higher. Did not expect her to get so big but I’m Loving It! 😁 Been debating on cutting the wind burnt leaves all week. ⬇️⬇️⬇️Week Rundown⬇️⬇️⬇️ 8/9: Bumped light intensity to 75% Started new batch of nutes today. 1st week of early bloom set. No liquid KoolBloom this time 🤦‍♂️🏾 missing from starter kit! Mixed nutes as usual in full gallon jug. Transferred half of treated gallon to half gallon jug. Poured whole half gallon jug into Rez to top off rez at a little over 3rd line. 8/10: Topped of rez this morning with the rest of half gallon of nutes + some plain water out of half gallon jug. 8/11: Topped rez off back to a little over the 3rd line with the plain water from the half gallon water jug. Poured whole half gallon in. She has been drinking very heavily. 😌 thirsty jean lol. 8/12: Topped rez off tonight back to 3rd line. She is steadily drinking now. You can see roots swimming in the rez. 🙃🙃 8/13: Topped off rez this morning and midday. She is drinking heavy now. Did some maintenance on lower canopy. Got rid of dead/dying leaves. I hope she starts budding soon I’m running out of head room The canopy is pretty even right now but I’m now able to raise the lights any higher so I need her to stay put. 😂 8/14: Topped off rez this morning with the rest of half gallon nutes from last night and then some water from half gallon jug. Determined! I was able to raise the lights as high as I can for tent size. Used my 2 extra hanging clips to raise lights at least 12in above canopy. Hopefully she is done stretching as I can see bud formation slowly showing themselves. 8/15: Topped rez of this morning with water from half gallon jug. Started new batch this afternoon. Was no point to starve her til Monday for new batch so I ended up running it today. Bumped light intensity to 85%. Hopefully no roasting occurs lol
