🏆The First Grow Cup Diary🏆
- Eternity Grow Cup 2025 | sponsored by Plagron x Zamnesia-
📢 Okay guys...what can I say...the parcel carrier stole 2 weeks of veggie phase from me...:( ...a little bit late, but here we are...normally I'm not a person of many words, I prefer to let pictures speak for themselves. But since Zamnesia and Plagron have decided to start a cup and provide us with the seeds and fertilizer, it's top notch. And for this you will receive a diary built up with love as a thank you ❤️
Normally I would plant all 5 seeds, but unfortunately I don't have that much space and therefore there will only be 3. I have to use my grow tent for the vegetation phase and then I will move to my regular tent for flowering. Depending on the schedule, I aim for a vegie of 8-10 weeks, let's see how they will develop.
I hope this is only the first cup of many others and I wish everyone who participates good luck 🤜🤛 and may the light always be supplied with power.
I'm looking forward to many exciting diaries and buds so big that you can smell them through the pictures and I hope I'll learn some interesting new things again. I have never grown Runtz but so far I got along well with all the ladies....
Big Thank you to Zamnesia & Plagron for the free contest pack ❤️🙏
Leeeeets goo...your 🦖

🌞 06/07.01.25 - I put the 3 seeds in a glass of water and let them soak up for 12 hours, I will then wrap the seeds in paper towels and place them on the heater ~22-24°
🌞 08.01.25 - I placed the 3 seeds in coco Jiffy and put them in my plant virtrine where they are under a Sanlight FLEX II with 200 PPFD...wait until there heads pop out 🌱
🌞 10.01.25 - first head pops out
🌞 11.01.25 - Slowly I have the feeling that the other two will not come anymore...annoying and rare...then I will probably germinate the others I still have
🌞 12.01.25 - I have now planted the other two directly into the substrate after germination to see what happens this time 😤
🌞14.01.25 - Good news, the other two seeds came straight away, put them all under die ViparSpectra 150 Watt on 200 PPFD

🔸 So Runtz #1 is now exactly 8 days old...the other two hatched 3 days later.
🔸 I fertilize with Advanced Nutrients and use half the dosage as indicated, I have mixed a 1 liter bottle and add as needed.
🔸 I only gave the 3 sweeties water with nutrients once, about 150 ml per plant, that was enough for the whole week.

🔸 Looks like my Runtz is more Indica...the leaves are very dark and wide...I have seen many Runtz here that are much thinner and more Sativa like...I am curious to see what comes out of it.
🔸 They are developing very well ,in this phase I don't do much I push the branches down and make sure they all get the same amount of light, I remove 1 or 2 leaves, but not too much at once
🔸 My favorite is clearly Runtz #1, it grows nicely evenly and is doing the best of all 3....Runtz #2 is also doing very well, but Runtz #3 doesn't look very nice, the nodes are quite far apart on the main stem.
🔸 each Plant 2 l

🔸 I didn't spend much time with the ladies this week, I had a lot to do and then there was the carnival. So this week just a little video of the three cuties. I try to cut off as few leaves as possible and try to do more with LST. It doesn't look very nice, but the fewer leaves you cut, the faster the plant grows....Yes, I know it itches in your fingers to cut every day, but just give your plants a rest.
🔸 Runtz 1 and 2 are doing really well and look just as I imagined. Runtz 1 looks a bit thirsty and therefore lets the leaves hang a bit.
🔸 I can't do much LST with Runtz 3 because the main branches on the stem are a bit broken and I don't want to break them off completely...shit happens hehe.
🔸 each Plant 3 l

Krass das sieht sehr Proffesionell aus alles ^^
da ist man als newbie einfach froh nur dabei sein zu dürfen haha
dir noch viel glück weiter hin und Keep it Growing!
@Flatuz, auch als möchtegern "Profi" 😂 sind nur 3 von 5 Samen was geworden 😅 es ist nicht alles Gold was glänzt 😜
Das wünsch ich dir auch und immer viel Spaß dabei haben 🌱🤜🤛
Viel Erfolg, deine anderen grows sehen echt heftig aus 👌, das wird ja wahrscheinlich auch wieder ne Augenweide werden 💪 und hoffentlich auch en Platz auf dem Siegertreppchen 🏆🍀
@McBubatz, Vielen Dank 😊😳
Sind ne Menge Grower mit langjähriger Erfahrung mit dabei, ich möchte später nicht Entscheiden müssen 😂 Ausserdem gehört da auch nen bisschen Glück mit dabei 😅
Der erste Cup, dabei sein ist alles...hoffentlich kommen da noch nen paar 😋
Ich bin total aufgeregt, wie es weitergeht. Ig werd am Ball bleiben um mich von deinen Meisterwerk überraschen zu lassen.
Schöner Start, auch wenn die Geduld getestet wurde.
My thoughts exactly. As I look at the plants in the contest, many sativa like and some indica I wonder how similar they are in the flavor and effect as the end result.
Yes, 100%... Nowadays you don't know what you're getting anyway... 3-4 different phenotypes can come from one package.
Let's see what awaits us hehe....so luck plays a bigger role in this contest...🍀
