Issue #708 - Sunday, November 16, 2025 Hey grower, The truth is, 80% of growing great weed comes from one thing: following the fundamentals. Start with good seeds, choose a proven setup, and water properly with decent nutrients. In today's

Auto-Watering Pot Bases: AC Infinity vs Vivosun by Nebula Haze
in my “Sweet Dreams” grow journal (check out the latest entry below!), I started falling in love with auto-watering pot bases. Plants immediately started growing faster once their roots hit the reservoirs, and I love that I can go days at a time without thinking about watering the plants.
So far, I think the Vivosun version has the edge. Learn why I think the Vivosun version is better for growing weed. Plus discover what 8 other growers
have to say (they don't all agree!) P.S. If you want to share your experience and thoughts on auto-watering solutions, we'd love to hear from you. Hit reply and share your thoughts!

Flowering Week 8: "Sweet Dreams" Grow Journal Check out the full grow journal! Such a crazy assortment of different bud shapes and colors this
grow!
Here's a quick tour of the buds (about 8 weeks after 12/12). Purple Ghost Candy – Getting purple! Looks like it's got a while to go.
Blue Dream – Still mostly all white hairs, going to be a BIG yielder I think.
Mandarin Cookies – Long, thin pointy buds that smell sweet and fruity. A unique silver-blue tint I adore.
GG4 x Zkittles – The buds seemed small and leafy at first, but now they're really starting to put on weight, and look super solid. A sleeper for yields?
Candy Games #38 – Very “modern” or trendy looking genetics. This look is kind of what’s “in style” in the American cannabis breeding scene right now.
The Candy Games plant stretched a lot at the beginning of the flowering stage, resulting in long empty stems. No more! Each of those stems is now carrying multiple fat “bud balls”. Buds on the Candy Games grow like golf balls. Lurking in the back
of this pic, the Blue Dream is growing traditional cola-shaped buds (where you can't see much stem, if any).
Continue to the full Flowering Week 8 entry and discover how I'm protecting fat buds from bud rot. Plus
see tons more pictures of plants and buds! ~Nebula P.S. Hit "Reply" and share! Which strain do you think will be ready to harvest first?

First time grower, old timer, following your recommendations and knowledge to the tee, using the GH trio. Started from seed, friends Mother plant, no idea what they are but smell good! Flatv8

Hey Flatv8, First off, congratulations on an amazing first grow! Your plants are super healthy and the buds look beautiful. I'd guess they're still going to fatten up quite a bit. It's great you're using the GH trio. It's my favorite cannabis nutrient system to this day. You seem to have dialed it in just
right. Keep doing what you're doing, and don't hesitate to send us more pics along the way! Happy growing, Nebula
