This Rainbow Candy growlog showcases a successful journey from germination to curing, spanning over 120 days. The cultivator meticulously managed the plant's environment, transitioning it through seedling, vegetative, and flowering stages, utilizing a hydroponic air cube medium. Key interventions included regular defoliation and training, nutrient adjustments with a switch to bloom formulas, and even troubleshooting a flooding issue with the hydroponic system. The growlog highlights the importance of environmental control, particularly temperature management with the addition of an air conditioning unit, leading to a frosty and promising harvest.

Note
Plants have bounced back for the most part. I'm sure this will set them back a bit but it is what it is, you live and learn. This is my 2nd run in this system and I know from here on out. I changed the airline route around the empty pump, that keeps the hose away from the float.
Day 70 - Sep 16, 2023
Flowering Week 5
Tree Logs
Note
Ok last "fix" was not the issue of why my air cube was not flooding. I have a nano bubble air stone in the brain and the air line was pinned under one of the floats in the brain. Moved the line and ran a few cycles, it filled fine after finding this. I ran 4 flood cycles and it was operating normally.
Note
Trees in sad shape this morning. The air cube didn't fill for some reason. I have made the repairs I though it needed and it's flooding properly again.
Note
Plants have recovered from my mistake with the air cube not flooding. All 4 are going to be super frosty. The plants are so sticky, it really reminds me of my nana glue Skywalker og kush run which was had the most frost production ive had to date. Both runs done with Ventana plant science nutrients and flaVUH.

Pushing my plants to 4.5 - 5 ec in week 4 with res top off. Top off for week 2 with seaweed got me just under where I wanted to be. 4 was where I was wanting to land but I'll take 3.7 for now. Gives me more wiggle room when I do bump to 4.5 - 5 ec
