Eternity Grow Cup 2025-Plagron/Zamnesia Runtz

Were officially in veg and moving along so far so good.. Did start up a second bean just cause I'm dealing with cold temps and basements in process of being insulated better.. Heater cooking but still a fight at night for the next few days till the areas buttoned up fully.. getting there tho , got that just about dealt with and a proper heater for the sq-ft. But, Runtz is off to the races , gonna bring the heat up, giver some recharge and let her cruise for a few weeks. Doubt I'm topping. Will be pulling down and tucking as it goes. Don't want to slow her anymore then the cold has already lol.. Gonna be fun been looking around at others seeing how it's goin already, cant wait to see once were all flowering!!! Best of luck gang, and happy new year!!

Jan 9th added photos of both plants. Moving along just getting into her second week here.. Cold temps had slowed things a bit but did my best to keep this one warm until things were situated in the basement here. Heater finally crapped out in me.. But we're moving along well enough I'm not to concerned. Runtz#2 just going into its 1st week veg .. got the first drink with recharge today .. see how she enjoys that over the next week. No plan to hst at all on these, plenty of tucking n all but don't really want to add to anything if I can avoid it.. minimal defoliation aswell just El natural for this lady.. Hope u all had a great holiday and getting into the groove of 2025!@

_____----*Jan 13th added photos*----_____ _-** Jan16th added photos **-_ She's still chugging along entering week 3 now.. Just gave alil recharge so far , besides having some water issues here (tap got funky funky) but had some rv water filters plopped onto the tap and all is in range ec/ph wise now. Issue averted atleast i caught it, got in the habit of checking PPM of the tap everytime just to be sure (I aerate 5gal of tap water as I use it to mix whicheve stuff I maybe using aswell. That's about the only major thingy that really happened. I am seeing some leaf variegation I hope it's nothing more serious havnt had any tmv before so I'll be keeping a tight eye. Fingers crossed tho, I do have a second started that was gonna ne ran without plagron but if she's sick I got a back up. Hoping it's nothing tho, 🙏 Until the next update , I'll throw more photos up as the week gets going. Thanks again for checking in, best of luck to anyone that's involved in this contest !! Been fun watching all ur plants get going !

(Photos added Jan 20) She's grooving, second time giving recharge and first I've given her some Silica. Drinking more , watering every 2 days now. Just about 1gal, I don't need runoff like I used to. Have zero build up. Only time I did water till alil came thru was the silica application, made sure that got thru and thru bit not drenched. Only using silica for 2 more weeks or so, but we will see how things pan out. The Leaf Variegation is pretty neat, showing up in some of the lower limbs now too so hoping it has the lil stripes thru the grow. Last one I had with that thus turned out pretty cool hoping I can document it this time. Incredible growth so fat tho with minimal input from me, I've just kept the VPD in a comfortable range and letting her drink up before watering again. DLI increased to about 24/25. Just about 400ppfd /@/ 18hrs. She's looking great tho, photos were taken right as the lights had turned on.. Besides that tho not much else to note, No topping, no heavy delimbing or defoliation, just tucking leaves/limbs daily and letting this beaut do her thing I just hope photos do her justice!!!! Can't wait for a few more weeks. She's flowering around week 6/7 due to the growdots timing. But, always appreciate everyone's time taken to look these updates over Hope ur all doing well, once able I'll be poking around to see others progress so far. All the best growmies,

(*added photos Jan 26th, 28) Jan 25th (Saturday starts the week for these in my rotation) But moving along, have been trying to limit the stretch since my up space is more limited to width space Is gonna be. Been slowly pulling limbs down and away from the main stalk and occasionally I'll manipulate the main stalk to lay it down for alil and allow it to stretch back up. Seems alil bit rich on nitrogen so I had watered without any silica for a few waterings now.. But only another 7 or so days and I'll be flipping her to 12/12 gonna see how things go this week then decide that .. It's been stupid cold , my main heater crapped out a bit ago and back up didn't hang in long enough, gonna be Trying to get that sorted in the main room this week .. ran some ducting in the basement to rig heated air from the living space and that's getting the job done for now. That'd be about the gist if this update, will add more photos during the week. We're getting there , weeks are moving along. Looked thru everyone in the contest gonna be alot of solid buds coming can't wait to see how u all do !!

***Added photos Feb 2nd*** ****Added photos Feb 5th And added a link to Zamnesia's website fot informationon Mutations **** Moving along, still using a makeshift heating situation but it's well enough atleast able to keeping the vpd in a comfortable range.. that's a plus.. Been trying to keep the vpd between 0.85 and 1.0 usually then flower 1.1_1.4 vpd. Should be fine heat wise once I fire up the 4x4 with the 640w she's in the 3x3 now but going to 12/12 this week. Week 7 will be the first week of 12/12 she's at the size I'd need to flip of she's gonna 2 or 3x stretch on me. Not much up space about 4ft that I can adjust with , dont need anything massive anyway for sexy buds. Only used alil Silica and recharge this week . Used recharge 1x and watered with silica 2x this week the silica will end around the 2nd week of flower and recharge I stop around the 4th week of flower. Then just ride out with green sensation on this one. See what comes of it hoping the buds explode !! She's looking great , once we get passed the 3rd week of flower I'll start adding the Plagron Green Sensation with each water as directed to see how she does. I do have another that will be without plagron for my own comparison to see if it's something I'd like to continue to use in my garden. But so I'm happy with the progress , massive leaves nice and stocky stem and knuckles building up to support the side limbs. SHES GONNA BE a CHUNKY one i hope we will see tho gettin ready to be flipped ! Thats pretty much it tho till next update , Hope ur all doing well and having some fun with ur grows. Really curious to see how this Green Sensation works .. getting closer to finding out. ****info on mutations **** https://www.zamnesia.com/blog-weird-wonderful-cannabis-mutations-n2462 Zamnesia's site is loaded with good info I dove in for hours already from importance of sugars to breeding they got u covered over there ! @Patricia from Zamnesia got me on track !! They are doing things right over there @ zammies.

Shes officially in flower as of today, she's gotten to the size im happy with and ready to see how she fills out. Will be tryin to limit overall size , I don't need nor want a monster just looking for some nice buds really.. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 She has alil speckling on lower sun leaves so I did add some calmag this week and will keep the low dose for a few feedings make sure she's comfortable and all. Will be adding Plagron Green Sensation after the 3rd week of flower as it recommended to do after the stretch has pretty much finished. Curious to see how well it works 💪🏻!!! As of now in the 4x4 with the 640w light so I only have that around 30dli to start and will walk that up over time , temps are fine I'll be kicking on the dehumidifier to start bringing the RH% down over time aswell to keep the vpd inline when needed. Besides that she did get a few leaves dropped wouldnt call it defoliation at all just the ones laying on each other were removed .. did add some training wire in sections to get more light but limited the cutting the best I could. Even the Leaf Variegation is still looking interesting, curious to see if it grows out or if the buds will continue to show the color variation as it goes. We will see tho, the fun parts here. Hope ur all doin well, thanks for checking this one out !! Best of luck to everyone!!

(Photos added feb20th) Still chugging along. Nothing much to note just starting to get a rub smell and slight hint in the air if u brush by but she's just gettin started!!! She's gonna get alil silica this week and that's gonna stop being used and I'll be starting the Green Sensation soon. By the 4th week flower I'll add that to her water. Can't wait to see how the next 2 weeks go and once we start adding the Green sensation to it. The clones Have rooted. Will post some photos of them once the light kicks on tonight. But that's all really for this week hoping she fills out well once past the stretch phase. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏 Till next update tho, always appreciate anyone taking time to look these over. Hope some info is useful lol.

Week 3 of flower Is in progress, I did do some clipping to drop the Larf and all. But she's filling out pretty well. Held the stretch from gettin to crazy on me, could have bent her some to let the lowers catch up but just let her grow.. Didn't wanna do much on these, just let the genetics do their thing and do my best to keep her comfortable ... Plan to start the Plagron Green Sensation thus weekend for the start of week 4. Curious to see how these two will finish tho, another huge THANK YOU to Zamnesia for these beans and Plagron for letting us try some boost juice ! Only other changes - - light had been increased from about 25/28Dli 650ppfd up slowly to 30/35 just about 750ppfd.. Gonna try walking that to about 40/45 since I'm not adding Co2 this DLI range seemed to be the sweet spot for my environment. We will see!! . That's about it tho for this week's notes, she's getting Stinky tho , smells like a pack of candies when u open the tent. Can't wait for these to get fully blooming !! Till the next update... Hope ur all doing well , thanks for checking this one out. Beans: https://www.zamnesia.com/uk/ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/ Good read if u havnt, Zamnesia's site has a TON of great information!! https://www.zamnesia.com/us/blog-weird-wonderful-cannabis-mutations-n2462

(Have been thinking about it, decided to just do both runts under one diary and just using the Green Sensation on them both. Had only used growdots on the other one, but will be bringing the other runtz into this diary aswell) Beginning to add the Green Sensation nutrients this week. Really curious to see how she looks in the next 2 weeks now that its being added!. But these Runtz are growing well, looks great to me so far nothing crazy , bit different pheno then my other grow but I'm happy with both .. Can't wait to see how they flower fully. Not much else was done, I do regret not training but wanted to let it do its thing , didn't have the space for anything big (I never go for massive, one of these days I'll veg longer tho just for the experience of it) Had cut off a handful of leaves that were laying on each other. Did alil form of lollipoping but not extreme. And only plan besides Green Bay is the Recharge will also be used 1x weekly. Lights are currently around 32 DLI roughly 700/750ppfd off the top of my head. I'm thinking around 40 I may push to peak but we will see, no added CO2 besides environmental atleast its above 500 pretty steady raises to 8/900 amd alil higher when I'm in talkin shit to them. The water input is picking up in frequency aswell. Watering every other day still due to how cold it is they are drinking slow but their just about 3/4s of a gallon currently.. Temps have been way lower this run then I really wanted just last heater I had decides to quit on me.. big area so tough to replace that thing and of course it was just out of warranty lol by 2 months. The one is getting some purples on it this one's pretty light green , ec is in range after a quick lil media test, had been curious if she was hungry so decide to check did alil runoff when watered prior to feeding the plagron. Ec was fine and PH was alil low so bringing that up as I feed. Besides that tho , their smelling really sweet.. literally like a pack of runtz already ...anxious to get to smoke some of my first try at a runtz plant! As always I appreciate everyone's time checking these things out.. thanks for your support and encouragement. And another big thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for throwing this together!! Been a fun contest so far.. Beans: https://www.zamnesia.com/uk/ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/
