Eternity Grow Cup 2025 - Plagron&Zamnesia - Bonzai ftw

Caertner Germinating seedlings in coco tablets until they're ready for the net pots: #1 is rooting well, #2 is just a bit behind, both going straight into the big net pot on day 10... #3 had a rough start for 3-4 days, but is being especially cared for now. ;)

Caertner Now it’s starting... "Rosi," "Claudia," and the somewhat diva-like "Franziska" have managed to stabilize a bit. Let's see when the Hydro-Boost kicks in... (*excited*). Claudia got lucky with the net pot and already has a root in the water at the beginning of the week... Day 18: Rosi seems to be having trouble with the net pot... Claudia is already getting started and Franziska needs some care. I think I’ll turn her into a bonsai ;) Overall: This time, the repotting was quite stressful... next time, I’ll put the seedlings directly into the clay pebbles.

Caertner #1&2: Big Bud Project #3: Bonzai 20.10. Claudia is slowly getting back into it after the repotting. Rosi has also slowly gotten used to the water. Bonzai is snoozing ;) 22.10. Now it’s goooooo time! 23.10. ..first chilling ;)

Caertner Here we go, week 4. The two heavyweights are getting started now, Bonzai is nice and moist and dark ;) 30.01. ...I turned up the light a bit due to the intense stretching two days ago. Now the leaves are drooping a bit. Probably not enough light after all? I'll test it for another day. 31.01. ...clearer signs of "sunburn." Turned the light down... (need to fix the lights!) 01.02. Plants seem to be recovering. 02.02. Note: RUNTZ is just stretching like crazy... it can only handle "normal" light.

Caertner New week, new luck... hopefully the two will recover again... The little one seems unfazed and relaxed ;) Chill Bro!

Caertner Lets go!!! Bonzai FTW! Sexy heißt nicht immer dick...

Caertner #1: Stem slightly bent when adjusting... flower wire for stabilization + lollipopping #2: Grows well, very large leaves + lollipopping #3: Bonsai grows very "spindly" with little light (long internodes)... so more light, but less photosynthesis - defoliation (partial)

Caertner ...let's get started! (I keep saying that somehow) But the two big ones are really getting going now. Bonzai is growing steadily, unfazed... Chill Bro!

Caertner #1 Lollipopp Monobud #2 Cashcow #3 Bonzai (FTW!!!) The plants aren't taking the change very well... they've just become a bit slower...

Caertner It's going great! #1: Lollipop (experimental) #2: Cashcow (- go for winner) #3: Bonzai (experimental) Eventful week... defoliation, lollipopping, water change... lots of gardening ;)

Caertner The first flowers are becoming clearly visible. Unfortunately, the SD card of the time-lapse camera has failed due to a defect. So there won't be a video from this week :(

Caertner The Big ... is still growing... when does the bulking come? Bonzai hasn't moved much... not just slow but also lazy?

Caertner It's getting exciting. Bonzai ftw!

Caertner This week, equipped with a parallel project with micro-drippers. Works fine. But for bonsai, it's not worth it... but a branch at the pump from the RDWC could be interesting (at least for the cutting/seedling phase).

Caertner #1 Experiment: Test successful. Already tons of trichomes. #2 Light pollution victim: Unfortunately, I left the light on one night. It seems to have caused another (short) veg phase for her. So she's probably out of the running. #3 Bonzai: More Swag!

Caertner Great start to the week at Easter... Last time fertilizer... EC at 2.5 now she just needs to bulk up.

Caertner Wusa. Bonzai is chilling. Flowers are waiting for pollen, but it’s not coming... hm. It's getting tight slowly. The colors are unique... Most beautiful autumn (in spring) ;)

Caertner Finally finished! After just 18 weeks, Bonzai can be harvested. You'll probably do it the same way: drying the whole plant... but this time I will let it "wilt" including the roots! Next entry: Harvest! Beautiful colors! Very autumnal :)

Caertner Flushing and then hanging out with the buddies :))
