This grow journey chronicles the cultivation of "Ricky Bobby #2 (LIT)" from germination to curing. The grower utilized a hydroponic air cube system and navigated through multiple environment changes, including a move to a larger 5x5 tent named "James Tiberius Kirk." Throughout the vegetative and flowering stages, meticulous attention was paid to nutrient levels, water temperature, and pH, with adjustments made to optimize plant health and bud development. The journey included learning experiences, such as resolving an issue with the air cube's flooding mechanism, ultimately leading to a successful harvest and a drying and curing process that promises a high-quality final product.

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.

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.
