Welcome to my ONE TENT ONE PLANT challenge within the Eternity Grow Cup 2025!
The plan is simple:
1. wait until my tent frees up so I can start germinating
2. germinate 2 seeds from Zamnesia's Runtz
3. select 1 of the seedlings to become a very big lady
4. SCROG her to fill the whole tent
5. tend to her until harvest
6. make some nice shots of the buds
7. win
There are some things I need to prepare though if I want to have a chance at winning. - Actually taking nice pictures.
For now I have been doing everything with my phone - guess that won't pass to create a photo worth to be called sexiest bud in town.
I will start looking into photo stacking and maybe I don't even have to buy a camera to create a nice picture :D
In any case: I wish everyone participating the best grow they ever had, a bountiful harvest, sexy buds and FUN!!!
I'll update as soon as I'll start which will be February 1st, if everything is according to schedule.
UPDATE time has come ;)
The new girls are in the tent right after I finished trimming my last harvest (here is the place to put a shameless plug for your last diary - do it) and I guess they are already kind of stressed out by me.
I moved them around a lot due to space problems and my little heating mat only warms them up to 22°C which is pretty low...
This resulted in only one of the seeds popping so far which is enough for my little project though. I updated the diary to say all seeds popped because I checked the not sprouted pot and there was a popped seed in it, so me messing up the environment lead to only one seed surviving which means no blame to the breeders :)
(I do hope the other one might also start soon because otherwise I would have no selection choice which would defeat the purpose of popping more seeds than I need :D)
This sentence became redundant after throwing out the other pot :D
Anyway I am back and full on track with documentation for this grow cup and will now go all-in with this grow!
Stay tuned for more!!! 💚
This week my new heat mat arrived and ensured that my growing conditions are perfect temperatur wise. Additionally my new controller arrived to ensure perfect temperature and humidity monitoring and automation. Love it already.
Parameters for week 1:
💡 200 PPFD/10 DLI 💡 - I wish there was a growing conditions parameter for this. PLS implement growdiaries thank you! 💚
💧 70-65% RH 💧
03.02.:
- corrected the PPFD down to 200 from 270 - was a bit too much for the beginning :)
05.02.:
- watered with 100ml
- installed the new heat mat
08.02.:
- installed the new controlling/monitoring tool
Week 2 comes to an end and the little one is developing good. She grew so much that I had to repot her earlier than expected. She is doing amazing.
Parameters for week 2:
💡 250 PPFD/16 DLI 💡
💧 65-60% RH 💧
10.02.:
- increased PPFD to 250 for this week, adjusted RH-range
- watered with 200ml
15.02.:
- repotted into 20L/5gal fabric pot
- added 5g/L Bio-Grow to the substrate which totals to 100g for 20L
- watered with 400ml water with Bio-Enhancer but only used a quarter of the recommended dosage as it was quite spicy the last time. Usual concentration is 1g/L I used 0,25g/L for 400ml which equals to 0,1g/400ml
This week I just followed her growing up. She is looking mighty fine. She got some silicate with cal mag if she needs it.
Parameters for week 3:
💡 310 PPFD/20 DLI 💡
💧 60-55% RH 💧
17.02.:
- I adjusted the parameters so they will match for this week
- she got watered with 1L
21.02.:
- she got 4g of Terra Aquatica Silicate to prevent cal mag issues and give her some silicates to promote healthy growth
- watered with 1L
This week the training regiment started with topping and LST for this girl. I still want to SCROG her but it might take a while until she is big enough for the net. As long as I can I will train with bonsai wire.
Parameters for week 4:
💡 465 PPFD/30 DLI 💡
💧 60-55% RH 💧
24.02.:
- adjusted parameters for week 4
25.02.:
- watered with 1.6L including 0.8g Bio-Enhancer (half of recommended dosage)
26.02.:
- topped her and tied down the upper growth with bonsai wire
The plan is to train the 4 highest shoots to fill the outer parts of the tent and the 4 lower shoots to fill the middle section of the tent. Let's see how that works out :D
28.02.:
- watered with 1.5L
01.03.:
- additional plant training
This week training continued. I also did a heavy defoliation. I got some sick leaves which I removed during the defoliation of which I have no clue what it could have possibly been. I'm guessing light burn or calmag, I'm not sure though and the new growth doesn't show any deficiencies yet. I will continue observing.
Parameters for week 5:
💡 630 PPFD/40 DLI 💡
💧 60-55% RH 💧
03.03.:
- adjusted parameters for week 5
- watered with 2L
05.03.:
- plant training
- cut off leaves that blocked new shoots
08.03.:
- heavy defoliation and branch selection; essentially I cut down growth that was growing downwards and took away leaves that overshadowed new shoots; the idea is to redirect the plants growing efforts to new growth that is pointing upwards so it becomes easier to train and to fill out the tent
- watered with 1.5L
For this week I just adjusted the humidity range and continued training. She is spreading very nice and evenly and I suppose I will flip her next week and use the remaining stretch period to fill out the tent completely with help of hung up netting. Like always while training I remove some leaves blocking new shoots.
Parameters for week 6:
💡 630 PPFD/40 DLI 💡
💧 55-50% RH 💧
10.03.:
- adjusted parameters for this week
11.03.:
- plant training (LST)
- watered with 2L
15.03.:
- plant training (LST)
- watered with 2L including 1.5g of Bio-Enhancer (75% dosage)
This week I prepared her for the upcoming flowering stage. She got her last training session with stakes and I set up a net. I also fertilized her already so the nutrients have some time to break down until she needs it.
Parameters for week 7:
💡 630 PPFD/40 DLI 💡
💧 50-45% RH 💧
17.03.:
- adjusted parameters for this week
18.03.:
- plant training (LST) - last training session without netting, used up all my wire and the pot is full with stakes
- watered with 2L
22.03.:
- removed all stakes (27 pieces)
- installed net
- trimmed down leaves that were growing downwards
- top-dressed with 4g/L equaling to 80g/20L BioBloom
- watered with 2L
@MonyetDiablero, She takes it really well :D
She is not the stretchiest plant which is why it takes a while, but with patience and care she will fill this tent or so I hope :)
