🌱 Eternity Grow Cup: Week 2 Veg Report – Building the Foundation 🌟
First, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Grow Diaries, this amazing community, and all the sponsors making this journey so special: Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix Soil, TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LED, Future of Grow LED, and CannaKan. And a special shoutout to Zamnesia and Plagron for their incredible support with seeds and nutrients for this run. This wouldn’t be possible without all of you—thank you for inspiring us to put our best into this grow! 💚
Growth Update: Small but Mighty
As Week 2 wraps up, the Zamnesia Runtz are still small, but they’re growing beautifully.
• Leaf Development:
• The first true leaves are now fully visible, and the second pair is starting to emerge on the horizon. Seeing those signs of life and progress fills me with hope and excitement.
• Nutrient Introduction:
• This week marked the beginning of feeding, laying the foundation for strong, vigorous growth in the weeks ahead.
Current Setup
• Environment:
• Temps are holding at 20°C, with RH at 60%—a comfortable range for young plants.
• The heat mat under the pots is maintaining an optimal root-zone temperature, keeping them cozy despite cooler room conditions.
• Location:
• Still growing alongside their sisters in the 4x8 tent but will soon transition into the full TrolMaster ecosystem, where precision and control will take things to the next level.
Nutrient Spotlight: Starting Strong with Aptus Holland
I’ve chosen to introduce the Aptus Holland lineup this week. These nutrients are carefully formulated to support plants through every stage of their growth cycle, and here’s what I’m using:
1. Aptus Regulator (0.15ml/L)
• What it is: A silicon-based additive that helps plants regulate stress and environmental challenges.
• Benefits:
• Strengthens cell walls, leading to thicker stems and stronger leaves.
• Increases stress tolerance, particularly against heat, cold, and light fluctuations.
• Improves nutrient uptake, ensuring plants get the most out of their feedings.
• Why now: At this early stage, Regulator gives the plants a strong foundation to handle the cooler temps and build resilience as they grow.
2. RO Water Conditioner (0.8ml/L)
• What it is: A product designed to optimize Reverse Osmosis (RO) water, making it suitable for plant feeding.
• Benefits:
• Balances pH and stabilizes water for nutrient absorption.
• Adds essential elements back into the water, ensuring a balanced feed.
• Why now: Using conditioned RO water prevents imbalances and provides a clean, consistent base for all feedings.
3. All-in-One Liquid (1.25ml/L)
• What it is: A complete macronutrient blend designed for vegging plants.
• Benefits:
• Provides all essential nutrients (N-P-K) in a balanced ratio.
• Easy to use and highly effective, supporting strong vegetative growth.
• Why now: As the plants develop their first leaves and roots, All-in-One Liquid ensures they have the building blocks needed to thrive.
Educational Focus: Why Start Nutrients in Week 2?
1. Natural Reserves:
• During the first week, seeds rely on their own nutrient stores within the seed casing. Introducing nutrients too early can overwhelm or damage delicate roots.
2. Signs of Readiness:
• By Week 2, the emergence of true leaves signals that the plants are ready to transition from relying on reserves to taking in nutrients from the medium.
3. Balanced Start:
• Starting with low doses ensures the plants can adjust gradually, reducing the risk of nutrient burn or stress.
Week 2 Insights: Setting the Stage for Success
1. Managing Environment Challenges:
• Lower temps can slow growth, but maintaining a warm root zone with a heat mat has been key to keeping these seedlings healthy and happy.
2. Patience in Veg:
• Early veg may feel slow, but this phase is all about establishing strong roots and foundational growth. Remember, every strong plant starts with a strong start.
3. Why Pro-Mix Soil:
• This medium provides excellent aeration and drainage, supporting rapid root growth. The added Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae further enhance plant resilience and nutrient uptake.
What’s Next?
As we move into Week 3, I’m excited to see these beauties continue their journey. The next steps include:
• Monitoring the development of new leaves and early structural growth.
• Transitioning to the TrolMaster ecosystem, where environmental precision will allow the Runtz to truly shine.
• Documenting every moment through photos and videos to share the magic with this amazing community.
Community Love & Thanks
Thank you to everyone following along and supporting this grow. To all the participants in the Eternity Grow Cup: best of luck—let’s make this one for the history books!
Stay tuned for Week 3, where we’ll dive even deeper into the evolution of these incredible plants. Until then, keep growing, keep believing, and let’s create something legendary together! 💚✨
