2025 Eternity Grow Cup

AestheticGenetix 1/1/25 HAPPY NEW YEARS! Today is day 1 of veg. They "germinated" for a week and all 5 sprouted and all 5 seem to be doing fine. R1 R2 R3 and R5 are all similiar in size and vigor. 1/5/25 Veg day 5 R1 and R5 are similiar in thin leaves. R2 has slightly thicker leaves R3 has a long internode stretch between the cotyledone leaves and the first set of serrated leaves. R4 is the runt of the runtz and is struggling and lagging behind the rest. also all of these are very miniscule differences 1/2/25 they are all growing quite tall already. doubled in size give or take so far. they are praying and happy at 75% humidity and 80-82°F R5 has a thicker cotyledone than some of the others. R4 has smaller cotyledone and smaller "Runtzy" type structure. 1/6/25 day 6 and they all look like they all look like theyre about to take off and start growing quickly. will probably keep them in these smaller starter trays for another week, until day 14 and then transplant and feed lightly. If i was to cull any, i would probably get rid of R4 definitely and possibly R3/R5. but in the RUNTZ spirit, im going to keep them all. plus in my experience, the runt plants always seem to hold some surprise to share with the world.

AestheticGenetix 1/8/25 start of week 2 1/9/25 watered lightly at day 9 1/12/25 theyre kind of slowing on growth. need to move them under a bigger 1/14/25 end of week 2 day 14. will transplant into 1 gallon pots tomorrow and they should take off. slow and stead wins the race

AestheticGenetix 1/15/25 day 15 transplanted into 1 gallon which they will stay for another 2 weeks atleast. fox farms ocean forest with aurora innovations (roots organics) big worm worm castings. about 75% ocean forest 25% worm castings welcome to another week. another milestone. the roots were super nice. i havent seen the nice fuzzy looking roots in a while. they looked super healthy. 1/17/25 they have taken nicely to the 1 gallon pots theyve been transplanted. plants are praying and happy at 65% 82° 1/19/25 brewing a tea of grow and microbe

AestheticGenetix 1/22/25 Day 22 R1 and R2 are showing possible calcium deficiency for some reason early on. rust and brown necrotic spots in between the veins of the lower fan leaves. R3 has always been super yellow compared to the others. i think it may have something to do with her hanging on to her leaf shell above the soil and possibly missed out on the nutrients provided with the embryo of the seed shell. R4 has amazing plant structure. the nodes are tightly packed and well developed compared to the other plants. she was the original runt of this litter and i wouldve culled her first because she was deformed and super slow to start but now shes the most developed and with the most favorable structure for my personal choosing and has responded the best to the nutrients. R5 is doing well and seems 1/25/25 need to relocate to the tent now. theyve filled up this humidity chamber and need more space and a stronger 1/28/24 last day of week 4. i topped all of them around the 4th or 5th node the next 4 weeks will be training and then

AestheticGenetix 1/30/25 these plants are all doing exceptional. R1-R2-R5 Are all very similiar in structure, node spacing and height. Fairly uniform. R3 Had a dwarf branch on the 2nd node. It was like Nemos fin from finding nemo. For whatever reason it was just underdeveloped. So i ended up just cutting it. Other than that, this plant is the only one that had the nodes stretch up to the mains after the topping. its a little more stretched out in between nodes and lankier. R4 is the Runt of the Runtz and probably wouldve been culled early on. But this plant has the most tightly compacted nodes, its almost hard to even see whats going on with her. I swear the runtz of the litter always show something special. we shall see, she shall live and prosper. Also side note: These plants already have a decent smell to them. Nothing special but they definitely smell like cannabis is growing. Dont normally notice a smell from plants especially from seed. 1/31/25 moved them into the veg tent. Theyre now under the mars hydro ts1000. my ratches are broken so i need to replace so that i can lower the light a bit. maybe itll be fine but its like 24 inches from the plants at the moment. 🤙💚Thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for this opportunity. 💚🤙

AestheticGenetix 2/5/25 theyre all looking happy and healthy. R2 is taking the lead as the biggest so far. i will get in there and take some better pictures of each plant soon and plan to defoliate. once i make it to the grow store i will be able to transplant into the final 3 gallon pots i believe i want to do for these

AestheticGenetix 2/12/25 i need to transplant and possibly up the nitrogen. some of the bigger plants are showing nitrogen deficiency on the lower leaves. i just picked up some more soil so i will be transplanting here soon and will be able to top dress and give more accurate nutrition and training 2/15/25 transplanted R2 into a 5 gallon fabric pot. i ran out of dechlorinated water before i could transplant the rest so i will do that later on. probably tomorrow. fox farms ocean forest with roots organics big worm worm castings. 5 tsp of terp tea grow 711. 2 tsp of microbe 212. 3 tsp of uprising foundation and added extreme mykos to the root zone 2/17/25 transplanted 2 more of the runtz. R1 and R5 are transplanted into their final pots of 5 gallons with fresh fox farms soil and mykos and a healthy dose of nutrients for them to explode with growth over the following weeks. my veg tent is going to be super packed and so is the flowering tent when the time comes for them to be transplanted. the ladies have been hungry for some nitrogen and probably other things. the lower leaves have been yellowing and dying off. their feed day was Friday and i wanted to wait to feed them until i could give them new homes with amendments added in. the first one that i transplanted is looking super happy and healthy as of today. which is a few days after the transplant. 1/18/25 Finished transplanting the last two runtz into their 5 gallon pots. i have six pots in a 2×3 right now and they fit wall to wall so hopefully everything works out well this way

AestheticGenetix 2/19/25 after transplant the plants seem happy. Specifically R1 has exploded upwards with growth and is double in size compared to her sisters. i will need to get some lst clips on her just like i did with R5 Everything seems happy and healthy with room for explosive growth over this week. 2/24/25 everything looks fantastic since the transplant. theyre filling up the tent suuuper nicely. theyre starting to take over the tent. looking super nice and healthy and im happy with how everything good start to the start of week 8 veg so far 2/21/25 im out of lst clips at the moment so i i tried some light hst or supercropping to bend over some of the taller plants. i hate the way the bruising looks so i kind of regret doing that but its served its purpose. im trying to keep them all similiar height but also trying to keep them all under the same amounts of topping and training. you all are on this journey with me and we shall see how it all unfolds. the way the tent looks right now, i feel like i should put them into flower now. ill get them out of the tent and look at them all individually soon to evaluate their health and status.

AestheticGenetix 2/25/25 these plants are exploding with growth. all dark green and super happy. will be giving them another week and then switch them to 12/12 2/27/25 these plants are absolutely exploding with growth right 2/28/25 defoliating and tucking leaves. theyre all so lush and bushy. these genetics are surprising me after this transplant. theyre absolutely loving life right 3/2/25 these plants are growing visibly each day. i switched them to 12/12 today even though theyre only in the veg tent. after a couple more weeks, ill move them into the flower tent. so 2-3 weeks under a small 150 watt light, and then move them under a 300 watt light to finish

AestheticGenetix 3/5/25 everything is looking fantastic. no pistils as of yet. i switched lighting to 12/12 a few days ago. im counting this week as the beginning of flowering. i top dressed today. i did normal as i have been but added 1 tsp of bloom. 5 tsp of grow 2tsp of microbe 1tsp foundation 1tsp bloom with this nutrient line, i dont want to cut out the heavy nitrogen feeding too early otherwise the plants start to yellow. Terp teas grow is 7-1-1 npk so its very heavy on the nitrogen but because they will be producing pistils soon, i want to make sure they have some PK which is why i add a small amount of bloom but a dont want to cancel all the grow formula too quickly otherwise yellowing will show up quickly within the first week and i want the flowering period to start out strong. R3 is showing very sativa structure compared to the other. She has very thin fingered leaves and is a little bit more lankier. im assuming she will need stakes to keep her upright once she starts producing buds. R2 i believe it is, is an absolute monster. she has like 8 thick mains and is the tallest plant in the tent. shes an absolute monster and i expect good things from her. im slightly worried they may stretch too much and ill run out of ceiling space but we will see what happens. Thank you to Zamnesia for the seeds for this contest. Fantastic looking Genetics so far and im thankful to have this opportunity. Thank you to Plagron for a chance to try out a small portion of their nutrients. im curious to see how the plants respond. Im hoping it doesnt affect my normal Feeding in any negative manner. and last but not least, Thank you to everyone who checks out the diaries and sends likes and love. I love sharing this competition and genetics with all of yall. 3/11/25 the last day of the first week since the flip to 12/12. the last pictures in this week are showing the plants completely taking over the whole dang tent. its actually pretty crazy. the vigor on these plants since germination has been top notch. recieved a new light(ac infinity Evo3) for my 2x3 tent that they are in that will be super beneficial for them if i decide to keep them in this tent. but you can see that the small mars hydro ts1000 isnt big enough for them now that they have grown so tall. i really hope they dont keep stretching too much more. some have already doubled in size it seems like. they were growing so fast already that they were gaining and inch a day. at the very least visually it was noticeable

AestheticGenetix 3/12/25 Welcome to another week of this Grow that is in thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron! 🤙👊 3/15/25 they are now under a new evo3 which fits perfectly in this 2x3 When i was changing out the lights, i dropped the light and i smashed one of the plants R3 which is also the most developed plant at the moment. one of the branches didnt fully snap but i have it held up with a soft twist tie and the help of neighboring branch. The plants have been stretching quite a bit over the course of the last week

AestheticGenetix 3/18/25 Start of another week. Plants just finished 2nd week of flowering so these most recent pictures are day 14 since the flip to 12/12 Some plants are only 28-30 inches and others are stretched up to 36-40 inches 3/22/25 R3 looks like shes going to produce the most mass. everything looks really happy. Everything looks happy and healthy

AestheticGenetix 3/26/25 everything is coming along super nicely. my environment is becoming an issue though. i cant keep my day time temps below 85 and i have noticed a prolific spider mite population forming on the lower leaves. The buds and the leaves look healthy and dark green. everything is moving along nicely. i hope the plants can handle the heat for now. today i top dressed with 3 tsp bloom, 1 tsp grow, 1 tsp microbe charge and 1 tsp of Foundation(cal/mag/iron/sulfur) i watered with 8 cups for each 5 gallon pot and i used 1/4 tsp of Plagrons Green sensation to 1000ml of water and watered it in for the first time. im curious to see how it all works out 3/28/25 sprayed with lost coasf plant therapy. Starting to notice some mites. 3/29/25 sprayed with Safer brand insectidal soap which is just fatty salts of potassium. 3/30/25 i hate spraying things at this point because of the pistils. the pistils have changed color because of the spray but they should come back and the plants should all be fine. everysingle one of the plants have a deep fruity smell to them already

AestheticGenetix 4/1/25 Welcome to another week and Thank you to @Zamnesia and @Plagron for the genetics and the chance to participate in the contest. These are beautifully tall plants. I have had to spray with lost coast plant therapy and some Safer brand insecticidal soap because of creepy crawlies such as mites of some sort. 4/7/25 i shoved everysingle plant into my main tent. it has a humidifier and controls and all the goodies. the plants that have been struggling were in a separate tent without a humidifier or even an exhaust fan. and i think that may have had something to do with the issues. im really hoping that it isnt something that can spread to other plants because ive shoved 5 - 5 gallon pots in 2.7x2.7 grow tent. but hoping the environment is more friendly for them during the last half of The pistils have changed colors because of the spray but everything else is looking nicely. Super tall and super thin leaved plants but the buds are very tight and i imagine will be fairly dense. some of the plants have decent cola stacking of maybe 6+ nodes Today i top dress with 3tsp of Bloom, 1Tsp of Microbe Charge and 1Tsp of Bloom Booster. 4/6/25 R3 is producing some giant buds. The lower buds are twice as big as some of runtz plants. They all smell super fruity

AestheticGenetix 4/9/25 Welcome to another week. Week 5 since the flip of 12/12 just ended. So today is day 36 since 12/12. The begining of week 6. About halfway done with flowering. Time to start packing on weight. also its important to note that it took a week or so after 12/12 to have pistils show up. So its closer to 28 -30 days of Flowering. I have a foxtailing pheno thats mostly green with thin buds. I have a super chonker green pheno with ridiculously chunked up golfball sized nugs everywhere.(R3) I have a sativa style but thicker buds with nice long connected colas (R2) another smaller pheno with traits of some of the others and also green. and then a singlular pheno that looks gelato dominant and its purple pretty much everywhere to the point that i didnt notice its coloring until it was next to all of its sisters that are straight green. Very beautiful plants and a nice display of phenotypical expressions Top dressed 2tsp bloom 2tsp microbe charge 1tsp bloom booster A Special thank you to Zamnesia and

AestheticGenetix 4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

AestheticGenetix 4/23/25 A few of these plants seem to be longer flowering genetics which is kind of annoying because of the feed schedule. ive been feeding them with the plan of 8-9 weeks flowering and we are starting week 8 it is day 50 since 12/12 and some of the plants are producing quite a bit of pistils with not much bud growth at the moment. But plant #3 is producing some nice chunky golf ball sized buds and is on track with my feeding schedule but some of these other plants might go 10 weeks Top dressed with: 2tsp of microbe charge 3tsp of Bloom

AestheticGenetix 4/30/25 one of the plants R3 got the chop at day 54 of flower and has been trying for 2 days. The rest of the plants are still producing pistils and seem to have atleast a few weeks left but we shall see.

AestheticGenetix 5/7/25 only water these past few weeks until the end. Sprayed with lost coast plant therapy even though its so late in flower. i wouldve lost the plants completely if i hadnt. I seriously hate those little buggers and they keep coming back
