💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 10 | The Little Pot Is Trying to Steal the Spotlight 😂🌱👑 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... She's doing it again. 😂 Every week I look at this girl and think: "Okay, surely this is where the little pot finally becomes the limiting factor." And every week she looks back at me like: "You were saying?" 😂 Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B continues to impress me. In a very positive way. And at the same time... she continues giving me work. A lot of work. 😂💚 I'm standing there with a big smile on my face, looking at this beautiful, tall, flower-loaded plant sitting in only 11 litres, wondering how the hell she continues doing this. She's growing beautifully. Her structure is beautiful. The bud formation is amazing. The frost is coming along beautifully. She's becoming heavier. And somehow... she's still standing. Well... mostly because we're helping her stand. 😂 🌱 The Little Pot Is Still Fighting the Big Plant I know I'm repeating myself. I've said it before. I'll probably say it again. But... I'm not doing small pots again anytime soon. 😂 And let me be very clear: I'm not saying I'll never do it again. I don't say "never" about anything. Life has a funny habit of proving us wrong. 😂 Maybe somewhere down the road I'll decide: "Hey, remember that ridiculous 11-litre experiment? Let's do it again!" But for the foreseeable future? Nope. I'm very happy with what this experiment has taught me. And one of the biggest lessons is simply this: When the plant keeps growing and keeps demanding water, a small container can turn into a lot of work. The plant isn't complaining. I'm the one doing the complaining. 😂 And I'm doing it while smiling. Because look at her. How could I complain too much? 💚 She's Growing Like She Has Something to Prove Pheno B isn't behaving like a little plant. That's still the funniest part. She's sitting there in that relatively small root volume, yet she's tall, beautifully structured and carrying a serious amount of flowering development. She isn't shrinking herself to fit the container. She's growing. She's building. She's flowering. She's putting on weight. And she's basically telling us: "I'll decide how big I'm going to be." 😂🌱 And apparently... she decided 135 cm was a reasonable answer. 🌸 The Buds Are Becoming the Main Event This week, the flowers are really starting to steal my attention. The formation is looking beautiful. The individual flowers are becoming more substantial. The structure is becoming easier to see. And the plant is starting to look increasingly like what we've been waiting for all these weeks. We're moving beyond simply seeing flowering sites. We're watching those sites develop into proper, substantial flowers. And this girl has them everywhere. High. Low. Inside. Outside. All across that beautiful structure. She may have started this adventure with the smallest pot... but she certainly isn't trying to produce the smallest harvest of flowers. 😂 ❄️ And the Frost... Oh... the frost. 😍❄️ This is another part of Pheno B that continues to make me stop and look twice. The resin development is becoming increasingly visible. The flowers are getting that beautiful crystalline appearance. The sugar leaves are joining the party. And the closer I look... the more I find. It's one of those things that photographs can sometimes struggle to communicate properly. You look at the plant from across the room and think: "Beautiful." Then you get the camera closer. And suddenly: "Ohhhhhh..." 😂📸❄️ There is so much detail happening inside these flowers. And Pheno B is making sure we have plenty to photograph. 👑 She's Trying to Steal the Spotlight And I think this girl has developed another objective. She's trying to steal the spotlight from her sisters. 😂👑 The 8×8 Adventure has plenty of characters. We've got different structures. Different sizes. Different expressions. Different personalities. And Pheno B seems to have decided: "Okay, enough about them. Look at me." And honestly? It's getting difficult not to. She's tall. She's beautiful. She's flowering beautifully. She's getting frosty. She's becoming heavy. And she's doing all of that while sitting in the smallest container in the room. That's a pretty good way to get attention. 😂💚 ? The 11-Litre Challenge Continues But here's where the experiment becomes interesting again. The little pot isn't stopping her. It is, however, making my life more complicated. 😂 There's simply less substrate volume holding this increasingly substantial plant. As the flowers gain weight, that becomes more noticeable. The plant has built the structure. The plant has built the flowers. Now we have to help support what she's created. And that's where the yo-yos, supports and general attention come into play. We're not trying to turn her into something else. We're simply helping her remain standing. Because she has already done the hard part. She's built herself into this beautiful plant. Now we're basically standing beside her saying: "Don't worry, girl. We've got you." 💚 😂 The Watering Department Would Like a Word If Pheno B had a human job, I think she'd be the person who creates paperwork for everyone else. 😂 The plant keeps demanding water. The container is small. The plant is not. And that combination means I have to pay considerably more attention than I would prefer. That's probably the biggest downside of this particular experiment. Not the plant. Not the flowers. Not the growth. Not the quality. The workload. And that's exactly why I keep laughing when I say I'm not rushing back into small soil containers. The plant is doing an amazing job. She's just making me work for the privilege of watching her do it. 😂 Fair enough. 🌿 Still Beautifully Healthy And despite all the jokes about the pot... the plant itself is looking fantastic. Beautiful green foliage. Strong structure. Excellent flowering development. Increasing resin production. And a really interesting overall balance. She's not showing me a reason to complain about what she's producing. Quite the opposite. She's giving me plenty to admire. That's why this is such a funny situation. If she were struggling, I'd be frustrated. But she's not. She's thriving. So every time I complain about the watering and the small container, I'm doing it with a massive smile on my face. 😂💚 Because the plant is basically answering every complaint with another beautiful flower. 💡 Same Room. Completely Different Story. And once again, Pheno B reminds me why I love this project. She's sharing the same overall room with her sisters. Same general environmental philosophy. Same lighting ecosystem. Same flowering strategy. Same overall nutrition approach. Yet she has created her own story. She's the smaller-container experiment. She's the 135 cm surprise. She's the plant that refuses to behave like her pot should dictate. And she's becoming increasingly impressive as flowering progresses. This is exactly what I wanted from the 8×8 Adventure. Not twelve identical plants. Twelve individual stories. And Pheno B is definitely writing hers in capital letters. 😂 📸 The Camera Keeps Finding More This girl is becoming a fantastic photographic subject. The wider photographs show her overall structure. The closer photographs reveal the individual flowers. And the macro perspective? That's where the frost really starts becoming ridiculous. ❄️🌸 You can see the pistils. The developing calyxes. The resin-covered surfaces. The textures. The little details that disappear completely when you're simply looking at the whole plant. And I think that's one of the most beautiful parts of documenting this project. We're not just watching plants grow. We're watching an entire microscopic world develop. And Pheno B is giving the camera plenty to discover. 🌱 The Plant Is Bigger Than the Pot At this point, I think we can officially say that. 😂 135 cm plant. 11-litre pot. Beautiful flowers. Increasing weight. Increasing frost. Constant demand for attention. The mathematics of this girl simply don't make sense to me anymore. 😂 But maybe that's exactly the lesson. A container is one part of the growing environment. The plant itself is another. And genetics can produce some seriously unexpected combinations. Pheno B is certainly one of them. 🌸 Flowering Is Getting Serious We're now at Week 10, and the flowers are looking increasingly mature in their structure. They're getting bigger. They're getting denser. They're becoming more defined. And the resin development is becoming increasingly obvious. There's still more time ahead, of course. I'm not calling the finish line yet. But when I look back at the earlier photographs and compare them with what I'm seeing now... the difference is huge. This girl has come a long way. And she's still moving. That's the exciting part. 💚 Nothing to Complain About So... what do I actually have to complain about this week? The pot. 😂 That's about it. The plant? Beautiful. The structure? Beautiful. The flowers? Amazing. The frost? Amazing. The colour? Beautiful. The development? Exactly what I want to see. The weight? Well... that's becoming a little problem. But it's a good problem. The watering? Let's not talk about that. 😂 So once again, I'm standing there laughing. Because the experiment is giving me exactly what experiments are supposed to give us: information. And sometimes that information comes with a watering can in your hand twice a day. 😂💚 👑 She's Coming for the Crown I said it last week. She's trying to steal the spotlight. This week? I'm becoming a little concerned that she might actually succeed. 😂👑 She's not necessarily the biggest plant. She's not sitting in the biggest container. But she's making a very strong argument with what she's producing. The flowers are beautiful. The structure is beautiful. The frost is developing beautifully. And her overall presence is getting harder to ignore. She's basically standing there saying: "Remember me." Don't worry, girl. We haven't forgotten. 💚👑 🔮 Looking Ahead There's still plenty of road ahead. And that's what makes this so enjoyable. We're going to keep watching the flowers develop. We're going to keep watching the resin. We're going to keep watching the weight. We're going to keep helping her support that weight. And yes... we're going to keep dealing with that tiny pot. 😂? I'm not going to pretend I know exactly where she'll finish. That's part of the fun. The plant will tell us. We'll watch. We'll document. We'll photograph. And we'll see what Pheno B decides to become. So far... she's becoming something I really like. 💚 The Little Pot That Keeps Winning Pheno B started this experiment with a disadvantage. Or at least... that's what I thought. 😂 Eleven litres. A relatively small root volume. And yet here she is. 135 cm. Beautifully structured. Flower-loaded. Frosty. Heavy. And increasingly impressive. She didn't let the pot define her. She simply grew. And now the pot is the thing struggling to keep up with the plant. 😂🌱 That's probably my favourite part of her story. The plant never got the memo that she was supposed to stay small. 👑 Let Her Steal the Spotlight So this week, I'm giving Pheno B the stage. Go ahead, girl. Take the spotlight. You've earned it. 💚 Show them the flowers. Show them the frost. Show them the structure. Show them what an 11-litre pot apparently can produce when the plant decides not to cooperate with our expectations. 😂 You're small where it doesn't matter. You're big where it counts. And you're becoming one hell of a beautiful plant. 🌱💚👑 The little pot may be giving me work... but the girl inside it is giving me nothing to complain about. And that's a pretty fantastic trade. 🌡️ The Environment The current recorded conditions are: 🌸 Flower Week: 10 📏 Height: 135 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 11 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h The environment remains consistent, while Pheno B continues showing us her own interpretation of it. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder that the plants don't always follow the plan we imagined for them. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document, share, learn and compare these different expressions. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind this fascinating Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the lighting powering the room. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to LumiFlora for adding another dimension to the lighting experiment throughout the canopy. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It makes this whole experiment even more enjoyable. And Pheno B? She's still here. Still standing. Still growing. Still flowering. Still getting frostier. Still getting heavier. And still making me work for every litre of water I give her. 😂 But honestly... I'm looking at her with a huge smile. Because she's beautiful. She's impressive. And she's definitely trying to steal the spotlight from her sisters. And you know what, girl? This week... you can have it. 👑💚🌸❄️ The little pot that refused to stay little. The plant that refused to stay small. The girl that refuses to stop impressing me. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's see just how much more this little giant has left to show us. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚👑

She’s reacting very well to the training, so I keep pushing her. In the meantime, she’s getting really thirsty, which is a good sign the roots are on track. As I want to stretch the vegetation, I removed a few selected nodes to promote more main bud development.

Die Blüten wurden zur Hälfte nass getrimmt. Die Trocknung erfolgte im Growzelt mit Ventilator und Abluft bei einer Temperatur von 22 Grad Celsius und einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von ca. 56 Prozent über 7-9 Tage. Bei der täglichen Kontrolle habe ich wenige Blüten gefunden, die ich entsorgen musste. Sie braucht schon etwas Aufmerksamkeit, die Shaman. Anschließend wurden die Blüten trocken weiter getrimmt und zum Aushärten mit Boveda 62% in Schnappdeckelgläsern bei 20 Grad in einem Eichenschrank gelagert. Das Endprodukt und ein abschließender Konsumreport folgen. Ich bin ziemlich happy! 💚

About 2 weeks of drying and starting to cure the buds are some super sugar bombs. They are super purple on the inside of the buds and leave a pile of sandy tricombs behind when you break up even the smallest bud this stuff is amazing. I kinda wanna buy some more of these seeds and pheno hunt fr fr

Everything is looking good so far. They’re all done stretching and the cheese and black garlic have stretched the most. I adjusted each plant with boxes to create a more even canopy. Buds are swelling up nicely. The two black berry breath plants are looking swollen and fantastic. I don’t like the structure and bud size of the black garlic plants and will not be running them again. Although, they’re getting quite keify and the breeder claims they have a genetic trait that make them put on most of their weight late in flower. So far I’m not too impressed by their size. The seedsman Badazz OG cheese has got good node spacing and structure but has very little trichs and smaller buds. I was just running the cheese to test old European genetics and my bias is starting to confirm my bias. Dutch and Euro genetics are shit. The slurricane #4 is looking fantastic in terms of frost but the buds are lacking a little in size. I’m going to do the 21 day strip today. I should have done most of this defoliation earlier in veg but right now is still fine. Ice cream cake #1 hermed which isn’t at all surprising so I scrapped her. At least it gives me more space to get in and tend to the rest of the plants. I got a pump sprayer to get in a bit closer to the plants as well.

01/31/2026 This week is all about training. There won't be much due to the size, but once she starts to stretch a little bit, I'll get some bud clips in there. She's already showing her sex. AND she has 9 finger fan leaves. Hell yeah! Very healthy plant. Nothing wrong with her at all except her height. Just short. And the only reason short is bad for me is training. It's much harder to train a shorter plant, unless I cut off the big fan leaves. Which of course will be done probably next week when the side branches have some good leaves as well. Then I can work some training. Also the branches will be longer and much easier to manipulate. I was going to change the water out today because we are dropping 3 nutrients for the next 2 weeks. But the reserve bucket is really cold. I'm warming it up by the heater, but it's gonna take the majority of the day to get it up to a reasonable temp. Right now it's at 56° f. Much too cold for a possible 20 minute dip. I have to add the nutrients in the actual bucket instead of the gallon jugs. It's much easier to dump 10 ml of nutrients into 1 bucket vs 2.5 ml each in 4 jugs. It's just 4 times faster doing it in the reservoir. Of course when I can't lift the plant out of the water, I'll have to start pumping. No big deal, but still I don't like the fact that I won't be able to at least wipe the bucket out before refilling it. Ya know? Oh well. Frankly, in my opinion, it's a recipe for disaster. But I'll manage. And then I'll have to load the jugs up first. Or the reserve bucket and pump the mix in from there. The environment looks a little wonky today. But seems to be sitting in a good spot when it finally levels out for a bit. Not that it hasn't been wonky the whole run, but it seems to be leveling out now that the plants are starting to contribute to the environmental conditions. Temp still isn't getting high enough for long enough. It hits 77° for a bit then drops down to 72° for a bit then back up. Mostly because the humidity is either high or super low and it's messing with the temp. They can't mesh well. It's because of the lung room. Too cold by the tent and much too dry. I will note though that the heater hasn't overheated since I put it in the tent. Shame my tent isn't big enough to hold it. Especially when the scrog net goes up. Maybe I'll be able to use the heater outside the tent again with the hose. I'd much like to have my space back. Lol. I mean, it fits, but it takes up a lot of space in the back. The cool part is it's level with the buckets, so the hot air doesn't seem to be hitting them that much. Definitely keeping the buckets cooler. I didn't need to add an ice bottle today. Yet anyway. I don't think I'll need to. Maybe tonight as I won't be changing nutrients out today. Not with the reserve bucket so cold. And by the time it warms up, it'll be too late to change the nutrients. I prefer to change them in the morning and do the trimming at night. Just seems like a good routine to have. The trimming before bed will help the plant recover from the stress and to heal. During the day with a new bucket of fresh nutrients, the plant can focus on those and growth and energy uptake instead of spending the day healing. At least that's the theory I'm working with. If I'm wrong please someone tell me. 02/01/2026 Today is water swap day. The reserve bucket is in temp range and pHed ready to go. I checked the water temp earlier and it was perfectly fine from last night at 67.9°. Glad I figured out the water heating problem. Now it should be much easier to manage the water quality. Also, the pH is still perfectly in range sitting stable at 6.1. I'd like it down to 5.8, but that's not how this nutrient blend works. It sits at 6.1. of course, I'll pH to 5.8 when I mix the new batch, but it's going to hit 6.1 and stay there. Maybe I'll bring it back down to 5.8 every couple of days. That might be a pretty good idea. That way we get the swing a bit and more nutrients can be unlocked easier. Or I'll just leave it alone as one should. It's pH perfect, so I should let it do the pH perfect thing and not mess with it. I dunno. Plant... She is beautiful. Huge green leaves. 9 finger leaves still coming out. Amazing color. Still short though. Not the most exciting news. I'd like her to be close to a foot tall by now. But as I said yesterday, she is already showing her sex, so the pre flower stretch should begin shortly. Like in the next few days maybe? Maybe a week? Either way, flowering is fast approaching. That's for sure. I should be all prepped for it. I have my trellis net in the tent ready to be hooked up in case I need it. Indeed, I may need it. This is an extremely healthy plant. I can see the potential super growth coming on. The leaves are HUGE. and if the leaf size signifies the potential size of the plant, then the plant will be huge. At least if that be the case. Which it might be. Probably not? Readings: pH: 6.45 EC: 1004 TDS: 502 Temp: 64.5° 02/02/2026 pH was way off this morning. I don't know what happened. But if I remember correctly, I read that the pH Perfect part of the name only works best when it's on the 700 to 1000 range. Mine is 500. Lol. Not sure how to fix that considering the fact it would be way too much for this little lady. Maybe when she hits flower. Then I think we should be good with 700 or so. She's gotta get up to size. That's all. Funny how she isn't having issues, but the bigger Apple Strudel has some pretty knarly nitrogen toxicity. Anyway, she seems Perfectly fine. Great color. Super strong branches. But also flexible. Too short use the bud clips though, shame that. This is the training week and she's not cooperating. Lol. Branches are barely long enough to get a clip in. But only 2 can get it. So I'm going to have to wait and see. Maybe with her height, I'll get a naturally even canopy and won't have to do much training. It's kind of a bummer that I can't tie her down like I normally would. No anchors. Otherwise she would probably be a bit bigger. Maybe. I find that they tend to grow a bit faster when tying down the top. Gets the blood pumping. Lol. For the most part, that is. The branches get more energy and flgrow faster in turn making the plant bigger. Maybe not tall, but wide. I almost want to top her, but I think it's too late now. It's week 3 of veg and there's already white pistils. Hopefully I'll get another week of full veg before the preflower stretch starts. I really need to train this lady out. I don't want to snip the leaves. We'll see how it goes. Maybe I won't have to snip all of them. Just a few would be fine. Oh and the water temp was fine. 68.7° but I added an ice bottle anyway. I'd like that temp to stay around 67°. In a bad note, I think I screwed up and contaminated this bucket. The Apple Strudel has an algae bloom and I accidentally used the same stirring stick for both buckets when I was pHing them. We shall see if it causes an issue. Also isn't hydrogaurd supposed to prevent this from happening? I'll have to look into that. Anyway, the environment is still messy, but I think it's artificial. The humidity seems to bounce with the heat as it has been. Both units turn off though, so that's good. I just need them to turn off at the right readings. Lol. That's all for the day. We'll see what tomorrow brings. 02/03/2026 She looks great! STRONG branches. No training available. I did however hand press the top down. I really wish I could tie her down. Hand training takes a lot of work. Not that I mind, but like damn. I gotta be in the tent like 12 times a day and I don't want to do that. The heater started overheating AGAIN. It seems to be fine now, but I wonder how it did it. It's not hot in the tent. The water didn't even get hot. However I do think I need to add an ice bottle just in case. Her pH was high. 6.7. while the EC and TDS stayed the same. EC 1000 and TDS 506. That's all for now. 02/04/2026 So I haven't recorded the light in a bit. We are currently at: DLI: 34.6 PPFD: 530 I had to pH her yet again. It was like 6.7 today. I don't know what to do here. Except to continue pHing daily. Personally, I think it's the algae I can't get rid of. But also, there's less plant food in the bucket. I recorded 502 I believe and now it's at 492. Not much of a dip, but the EC also dipped to 973. So she looks amazing. Her branches are thick and strong. There will be no taming this little lady. I'm thinking she hopefully will take to a clip or 2 when she starts to stretch. I dunno though. At this rate she's gonna have a trunk and arms for branches. Lol. Now that there's plants in the tent that have some mass to them, the environment is now adjusting itself accordingly. And it looks good. However, the damned air filter is clogged again. So I'm gonna have to replace the charcoal in it. Then everything will be fine. I also increased the light intensity slightly and raised the light back up to about 23" it's not much of an increase, but she started to reach pretty good last night, so I figured today was a good day to adjust the light. She should continue growing into it. Next week, I'll increase the intensity again. Probably to 40 mol. Maybe a little lower. She needed no pHing. Everything else in the water looks good. This plant is extremely healthy and happy. I did replace the ice bottle though. The water was around 69°. Now it's down to 66°. 02/05/2026 She got a half gallon top off today. Looking fantastic! Beautiful green. Vibrant. Very healthy. Nothing else to say really. pH is on point. Environment is actually doing good finally. I'm not worried about the EC or TDS at the moment. It's stable. However, when flowering starts, I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on it. For now, it's just the training. Which looks great! Kinda slow going as I'm unable to tie branches down. Too thick and stiff to clip. So I'm kinda stuck waiting for the first couple days of the stretch. 02/06/2026 Last day of the week. We'll start next week with a bump in light intensity and see what happens there. I'm leaving the nutrients alone for the week. I believe the preflower stretch should be starting any day now. I'll change the nutrients after that I think. I think that's how the feeding schedule goes. Anyway, I can't sleait to see some stretch with this one. She's so compact and short. So a thing I thought of with training, or lack there of. This plant could only be tied down or scrogged. The branches are too thick and stiff from day one. It's good and bad. Good because I know the plant is super healthy. Bad because I can't train them. Lol. Oh well. Alone she should be a pretty good producer. And her branches are all close together in height, so the stretch should provide a fairly level canopy. I think I'll snip the big fan leaves off tomorrow. Start of a new week and new access to the plant. She'll be super compact. The big leaves are starting to become a hinderance to the growth of the plant I think. They are blocking branches and possible bud sites. I'll also clean up the bottom of the plant. I don't want any larf or popcorn buds. Should t be too much to clean up. Maybe a few leaves and tiny branch sites. It'll pay off in the end. That's for sure. The environment is good. Yay! Well, so far it's good. And has been for a couple days now. I'm definitely gonna have to change out the charcoal in the air filter. It's clogged and I don't think it'll be beneficial in the flowering stage. The pre-filter is completely white now. I have to take it off and replace it with another one. SMH. I really wish I could get rid of the dust, but alas, I'm not using distilled water for my humidifier. The water costs too much for that. Although, now that the environment is finally manageable, I don't think I'll be needing the humidifier soon anyway. I replaced the ice bottle this morning. The water definitely wasn't warm, so it should be all good. Everything is going good.

~ 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!

Here we go! All three Strawberry Gorilla's continue to flower away with the #2 pheno still in the lead and looking the best of the bunch. The other two phenotypes have struggled constantly, but nevertheless have survived and I'm curious to see how they'll turn out when finished! I'm continuing with running the AirCube reservoir for 5-6 days between drain/refill, only topping off with well water and checking/adjusting the PH. The beginning strength of the added Plagron nutrients is 800ppm, and over the course of the 5-6 days it has only been dropping approximately 150ppm's. 12/8- Yesterday I removed the other three plants that were growing in this run with the Strawberry Gorilla's to get finished up. Now the ladies are only sharing the nutrient solution with each other, which hopefully will have positive results... time will tell. I'm continuing to monitor the AirCube reservoir, maintaining the solution level and PH twice daily. I have the HLG 650R set to 100% output now and have it hung 28" above the canopy. 12/10- Yesterday I went through the #1 and #3 plants and removed a bunch of shade leaves that were either blocking light or were damaged looking. The reservoir is beginning to stink so, tomorrow I'll be doing a drain/clean/fill on it which I'm sure the plants, and my nose will appreciate! 12/12- Now that I have removed the other three plants from their pots, I went ahead and pulled the #3 plant and placed it in the center empty pot giving everybody way more room to spread out. After moving the #3, I did some more LST on all three plants. Well there goes the 5th week of flower for the FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla's. They're 8 weeks since breaking ground and have a good 3-4 weeks to go before they're finished. 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life!
