All in all this was an amazing harvest I usually have around 8-10 plants and harvest anywhere from 24-36 ozs per harvest with the 8 plants I had this harvest including the biscotti mintz and cookies USA I ended up with 898g total dry weight with all top quality flower. I’ve learned some things with all my previous runs when it comes to dialing in my quality and yield and definitely watching for those herms because I like to push my plants to the max when it comes to training ! GMO PUnch -Greenpoint I’m giving this a total score of 7-10! Biscotti Mintz- Barney’s farm Total score 10-10 Cookies USA score 7-10

She is a monster measuring 1.94 cm 6'4 ft the same as me. She grew slow due to cloudy days. she is 2 different processes the bottom is the list and with big buds ready to be cut. The upper part has just begun flowering. her buds were cut at the bottom with 5% 15% amber in different buds. There are some big buds. I hope almost all ready as soon as possible this spring

D64/F12 - 11.18 - Been a really incredible week for these ladies. All of them are thriving with lovely prebuds <3 D67/F15 - 11.21 - Lovely progress. Even the least beautiful plant in the garden is reaching above the peony rings :) D70/F18 - 11.24 - Pretty aggressive defoliation on these ladies today. They responded great last round, so I expect to see the start to put a lot of weight on soon. The black sugars (second column of three from the left) we way more leafy than the fast white widows

I do not know what happened ... she germinated the same day as GSC and GC ... and the seed came badly ... so it will die ... it only takes up space ...

12/4 : Most of them are getting out the soil. Pink Gasolines are the slowest to pop off. 💪 Had to manage the pot space in the dome so there's currently 2 seedlings per pot. 16/4 I have now moved all the plants into a bigger 120x60 tent. Also a friend loaned me an old 600w LED fixture (Horticoled XMAX6 V4) until i get my Migro Array 4 240w There's now a humidifier in the box and they are in bigger pots now 💪

I started hitting them pretty hard with the nutrients this week and topped every one I could find. Might’ve fimmed one. I did a little early LST on them the whole week because the system I’m using grows woody stalks and if you wait too long you’ll never get a bend on them. They all more than doubled in size and technically this is week 3 day one of veg since they were put into the feeding system. I plan to get them another 8” taller with their new multiple tops and then place the scrog net over them. At this rate I’m guessing two weeks or a little more and they’ll be ready for the 12/12 flip.

So this week I decided to add the Epsom salt for the suspected sulfur deficiency & after a few days, I think some green was coming back. The PPM kept rising during the week so I decided to adjust the pH to 6 like suggested. I ended up adding a little more water & I forgot to add some Cal-Mag. Some of the leaves started to have some brown spots. Yesterday I gave her a haircut, got rid of the majority of affected leaves & continued LST. Yesterday I switched out the nutrient water with pH balanced water. I've been using the powder form of nutrients (MaxiGro series) all this time & am thinking of switching to the General Hydroponics Flora series which is all liquid. Maybe that would make it easier for her/me? Maybe now would be a good time to switch since there's only pH water right now. I bought some Armor Si which I plan to add in when I start feeding soon. Also this is an autoflower, at week 6 I thought there would be some pre-flowering by now. But I'm guessing BC of the issues she's been having the growth is slow/stunted.

~ 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!

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. 10/27- 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 Strawberry Gorilla's 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. 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'm continuing to tuck shade leaves daily on all three girls, and have been gently bending down their side branches as well. 10/29- Today I adjusted the feeding schedule for the Strawberry Gorilla's 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 10/31- 👻 HAPPY HALLOWEED! 🎃 💚 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!💚

Week 6 Veg Update: The Scrog Is Filling Up! 🌱✨ Hey Grow Fam! 🌿 It’s Week 6 of Veg, and let me tell you, the ladies are thriving! The scrog net is doing its job perfectly, creating a beautiful and even canopy. The plants are spreading out, taking up all that space, and loving every moment of it. The combination of great genetics and smart techniques is really paying off! The Magic of the Autopots & AquaValve System 🚰 Let’s dive into one of the systems making this grow so much smoother: Autopots and the AquaValve. This gravity-fed, zero-electricity system is a lifesaver! It’s built on a simple yet genius design, where the AquaValve allows water to flow into the tray beneath each pot. When the water level reaches a certain height, it automatically stops, letting the plant absorb all the water before refilling again. This ensures that the plants only take up water as they need, preventing overwatering and keeping the root zone perfectly hydrated. Plus, the fact that it operates with no electricity? It’s a win-win! 🌊 I can’t stress enough how this system makes growing more effortless. It allows me to keep a consistent moisture level in the medium without constantly having to check or water manually. With gravity working for me, it’s a set-it-and-forget-it system! 💧 Precision-Controlled Environment With TrolMaster 🌡️🌿 And then there’s the TrolMaster system, which has become my right hand in this grow. The app is packed with so much data, helping me keep everything dialed in without lifting a finger. I’m able to monitor and control every aspect of the environment from my phone, ensuring my plants are always in the perfect conditions to thrive. Here’s what the numbers look like this week: • Temp: 26.2°C • Humidity (RH): 70.6% • CO2: 757 ppm • VPD: 0.87 to 1.0 kPa • Light: 423 PPFD • Solution pH: 5.83 • Solution TDS: 445 ppm • Solution Temp: 25.2°C • Medium TDS: 445 ppm • Medium Temp: 26°C Thanks to the TrolMaster app, I get all this data in real-time, making adjustments as needed. It’s amazing to have such control and insight into the grow room, especially with how easy it is to navigate the app. Everything from CO2 levels to VPD is dialed in, and I can tweak the settings wherever I am. Truly a game-changer! Looking Forward 🌟 As we move closer to the flip, I’m thrilled with how things are progressing. The plants are healthy, strong, and ready to take on the next stage. The scrog is filling in beautifully, and the environment is locked in for success. I’m so excited to see how they bloom! Remember, it’s all about patience and consistency. By letting the systems work for you and paying attention to the details, you can achieve incredible results. Thanks for following along on this journey! 🌿 Stay tuned for the next update—things are about to get even more exciting as we inch closer to flower time.

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Gave them five days after repotting to start training. They grow so fast! FIM training started on one (fifth node). Mainlining on the other (third).

Howdy, Flush time, based on close ups, she’s more or less ready soon. She’s being flushed as we speak, with pure RO water added to tank. Residual nutrients in there is fine, I think PPM will be around 250 - 300. In 36 hours time, she’s going to have her lights turned off for the last time and will be left in the dark for 36 hours. So she’s being cut down 61 days after flip if all goes to plan, which is in line with breeders detail at 60-70 days. Only Tea and Hydroguard will be added to water. Humidity in room will be controlled at around 58 % RV.

Welcome to the jungle, Growmies! 🌿🔥 The plants received their first round of organic fertiliser last week, and judging by their growth, the root systems are healthy and well-supplied with nutrients. And yeah - growth is looking pretty great! 😎 I’ll start defoliating in the next few days, since it’s already getting crowded in the grow space. Let’s go! 🚀 Stats so far: 💧 Watering: 1L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~70% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 26–28°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.0 kPa
