Eternity grow cup

Sadhus Wow 5 out of 5 and a triploid in the mix! They popped up at the same time, in less than 3 days, directly in the substrate and bottled mineral water without pH correction or nutrient addition. For now, they are placed in the nursery box, under a dome to maintain a high humidity level. The plan for this session = work on the 5 plants for a few weeks to give them some volume and take the opportunity to take as many clones as possible. The 5 mother plants will grow in soil (full Plagron, substrate and nutrition). The clones will be placed in an EBB and flow table, expanded clay ball substrate, and full Plagron nutrition! Climate and light control with Trolmaster to get as close as possible to the right VPD while keeping the curve as smooth as possible with minimal variation. There you go, I think I've covered everything for now, updates are on Fridays, and I'll add photos throughout the week. Let’s grow!

Sadhus End of the first week, we start the 2nd with enthusiasm The girls are doing well, just mineral water for now, false alarm for the triploid, it only had one cotyledon cut in half! Placed in the large growth tent 1.5m x 1.5m, under a mix of Mars Hydro and Sayon light, a good relative humidity setting of 70% for a more stable temperature of 23-24°C during the day and 18-19°C at night, interaction and air extraction plus top ventilation First watering with Plagron Power Roots

Sadhus Slight addition of Plagron root and growth nutrients, they're starting to grow steadily, all 5 are doing well, strong! I'm waiting to see well-developed roots before transplanting into 3.5 liters! A few small issues with the air humidifier that empties way too quickly, but I manage to keep it around 24 degrees Celsius for 60-70% RH. Soon the apical topping!

Sadhus Start of a new week, FIM cut done

Sadhus They were starting to get tight in their little pot, I forgot to take photos but they were well-rooted. Change of plans, I'm putting them directly in the tide table and skipping the cutting stage due to lack of time. Expanded clay pebbles buffered to pH 5.5, EC 1 with Plagron Power Roots and Grow.

Sadhus 2nd FIM, defoliation, I'm going to start a little LST to set up a net and best fill the available space, tide 5 min every 20 min for now to stimulate vegetative growth, Terra Aquatica tripart nutrients in light doses, plus Plagron Grow, Roots, Enzyme, and Fish, the big room has been cleaned, disinfected, and just welcomed the tide tables. Trol master for the VPD and the lights. Let's grow! One solution, self-production! Made in France NFSOT

Sadhus The tide table is doing its job, the growth is visible, I'm going to start LST gently to delay the apices and develop the lateral branches, just to have a bit more volume to fill the 1 square meter space well, light at 50%

Sadhus 3 beautiful plants, 2 stunted, one with some rust spots to keep an eye on, curious because they're all in the same pot! I think I’ll have to switch to 12/12 in a week max. 🙏

Sadhus One of the 2 that were late has restarted, the 2nd one is still stuck and small, it’s not growing, the others on the other hand are growing like crazy. I'll let you see the difference between last week and this week where exactly 7 days have passed, pH 5.78 EC 1.57, tripart and Plagron, improvement of the air humidifier! And improvement of the wind with a big oscillating fan, 30 min on 30 min off to really shake the plants to simulate the wind and strengthen the branches, improvement of the extraction and air intake with a filter, changing from a diameter of 120 to 200 for the extraction and to 150 for the intake, no more odors!

Sadhus End of growth, start of the 12/12 cycle

Sadhus First week of flowering, incredible stretch they've already practically doubled in height, very dense, well-foliaged, tight internodal distance, lots of secondary branches, beautiful bushy plants! This is where the serious stuff begins 💪👌🙏✳️🌱

Sadhus 4 very very dense compact plants, I can't wait to see what's next, for now everything is going well 🤘

Sadhus The flowers are coming, light at 75%, 27 °C 70%RH, vpd ≈ 1, water temperature 22.9°C, EC 2.2, pH 5.9, increasing the delay between tide and tide time to 5 min every 30 min instead of 4 min every 20 min.

Sadhus 😁🇨🇵💪👌🌱

Sadhus Ph 6, EC 2.4 25 °C day, 18 °C night, 70% RH constant, it drinks 60 liters of water in less than 10 days, it smells strongly of melon, a particularly beautiful frosty pheno! ✳️

Sadhus Weekly Update – Eternity Grow Cup Grow Diary – Week 18 (8th Week of Flowering) Grow: 5 phenotypes of Runtz (Zamnesia) System: Ebb & Flow Hydroponics, full expanded clay balls substrate Nutrients: Plagron Green Sensation + Terra Aquatica TriPart (Grow, Bloom, Micro) Current Parameters: pH: 6.2 EC: 2.3 mS/cm Temperature: 22-26°C (optimal for flowering, promoting metabolism and terpene production) Humidity: 45-55% (reduced to limit the risk of mold at the end of flowering) PPFD: 800-1000 µmol/m²/s (suitable for advanced flowering phase) DLI: 40-50 mol/m²/day (based on a 12/12 light cycle, optimized for generative growth) Tide Cycle (generative growth): In the 8th week of flowering, the Ebb & Flow system is set to 2 to 4 tide cycles per day (15-20 min flooding per cycle, depending on plant absorption). The clay balls ensure good root oxygenation between cycles, promoting optimal nutrient uptake. The reservoir is refreshed every 5-7 days to maintain a fresh nutrient solution, with a mix of TriPart Bloom (rich in P and K) and Green Sensation to boost flower and terpene production. Observations: The 5 phenotypes of Runtz show great vigor. Senescence is progressing naturally, with leaves taking on purple and violet hues, a sign of good genetic expression and healthy maturation. The emitted smell is intense, dominated by sweet melon notes, likely due to the presence of terpenes like limonene (citrus-melon aroma), myrcene (fruity and musky notes), and terpinolene (floral and fruity touches). The trichomes are mostly milky, with a few rare amber heads, indicating that harvest is approaching (probably in 1 to 2 weeks). Plan for Next Week: Starting from week 19, I will gradually reduce nutrition (lowering EC to about 1.6-1.8 mS/cm) to prepare for the final flush. The goal is to begin eliminating remaining nutrient salts while maintaining a stable pH of 6.2-6.5. The complete flush (pure water at pH 6.2) will likely start in 10-14 days to ensure clean and tasty flowers. Light and humidity parameters will be maintained to maximize resin production until the end. Notes: The purple-violet color and melon smell are particularly pronounced in some phenotypes, which is promising for the final quality. I am closely monitoring the trichomes to determine the optimal harvest time. Environmental conditions are stable, and no signs of stress or deficiency are observed. Overall good progress!

Sadhus – Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron - Week: Last week of flowering (F+9) Strain: Runtz (Zamnesia) System: Hydro Ebb and Flow Nutrition: Plagron + Terra Aquatica (FinalPart + Green Sensation) Weekly Summary This last week of flowering was dedicated to optimized flushing to finalize the cycle of Zamnesia's Runtz, a legendary strain resulting from the cross of Zkittlez and Gelato. The Ebb and Flow hydroponic system proved to be ultra-efficient, allowing for precise nutrient absorption and perfect climate management, thanks to my trusty ally Trolmaster (shoutout to them for the flawless climate and light management!). The five phenotypes grown displayed incredible diversity in terms of structure, size, colors, and smells, making this run visually and olfactorily spectacular. Here are the details of this crucial week. Environmental Parameters To maintain a target VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) of 1.1 kPa, essential for maximizing trichome production while minimizing the risk of botrytis, I adjusted the following parameters: Temperature: 23-24 °C (day) / 18-20 °C (night) Relative Humidity: 45-50% (optimal for the end of flowering, reduces the risk of mold while promoting resin) VPD: Maintained at 1.1 kPa through precise control via Trolmaster, which regulated the humidifier and extraction for a perfect balance. Lighting: PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density): 800-1000 µmol/m²/s, adjusted to avoid light stress while maximizing photosynthesis. DLI (Daily Light Integral): 40-50 mol/m²/day, achieved with a 12h/12h cycle under full-spectrum LEDs, optimized for an explosive end of flowering. These conditions were ideal for pushing the plants to produce dense, resinous buds while keeping botrytis at bay. Nutrition and Flushing For this last week, I reduced the EC from 2.45 mS/cm to 1.3 mS/cm to initiate effective flushing, while avoiding too harsh a shock for the plants. I used: Terra Aquatica FinalPart: To mobilize the remaining nutrients in the plants and optimize bud maturation. Plagron Green Sensation: Added in a low dose to boost terpene and resin production while maintaining flavor quality. Flushing was done with reverse osmosis water (initial EC of 0.4 after adding Ca/Mg) and a pH adjusted to 5.5-6.0, perfectly suited for the Ebb and Flow hydroponic system. This approach allowed for the cleaning of residual salts while preserving the integrity of the trichomes and aromas. The Ebb and Flow system excelled in providing uniform irrigation, ensuring a stress-free end of cycle for the plants. Phenotype Observations The five Runtz phenotypes were a true feast for the senses: Structure and Size: Some phenotypes remained compact (80-100 cm), ideal for indoor, while others reached 130 cm with a more elongated structure. Colors: Vibrant shades ranging from bright green to purple hues, with fiery orange pistils and a layer of frosty trichomes that sparkle under the LEDs. Smells: The terpene diversity is incredible! Depending on the phenotypes, aromas range from sweet melon and strawberry to funkier notes of aged cheese or even a surprising hint of feet (thanks to caryophyllene and limonene for this olfactory show!). The trichomes are at their peak: about 70% milky, 20-25% amber, and still 5-10% clear, a sign that harvest is imminent. Microscopic observation reveals well-swollen trichome heads, ready to deliver maximum potency and flavor. The main identified terpenes (limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, humulene) give Runtz its complex aromatic profile: fruity, sweet, with earthy and spicy touches, perfect for a memorable sensory experience. Conclusion This Runtz run for the Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron has been simply exceptional. The plants are beautiful, with dense, colorful buds overflowing with resin. Everything went wonderfully, from climate control (thanks Trolmaster for the surgical precision!) to nutrient management with Plagron and Terra Aquatica. The diversity of phenotypes added an exciting dimension to this project, with each plant being a work of art in its own right. A huge thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for organizing this contest, which highlighted the potential of this incredible genetics and quality products. Can't wait for the harvest and curing to discover the full potential of these beauties! 🌱🔥 #EternityGrowCup #Zamnesia #Plagron #Trolmaster
