Aykos_420Grow EVENT: Five-Finger Grow Cup Team: Photo Periodic / Organic Start: Sunday, 15.03.2026 Strain: Permanent Marker Breeder: Seeds Supplier ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, 15.03.2026 Start Cup Germination Day 1 The long wait is finally over, and we can get started... *it’s about time 😅* So the ladies were sent into the water today (yes, it’s Sunday) 😉... Now they will stay in lukewarm water and in the dark at a comfortable 24 degrees room temperature, old school style in the cabinet 😅😉 In about 24-72 hours, they should be ready to go into their substrate. Pot size for germination: 1 liter Substrate for germination: Terra Canna seeds mix + germination mix from Wizzys Garten (many thanks for providing the products) We'll catch up tomorrow ✌️ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, 16.03.2026 Ahoy, my dear followers. I hope you’re all doing well, let’s see how things look today... But unfortunately, I have to report that the ladies still need a bit more time. I also changed the water and enjoyed the day again. See you later, you lovely people! ✌️😉 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday, 17.03.2026 Hey and hello, the young lady has been soaking for almost 48 hours now. Something must have happened today, right? Let’s go check it out 😉 And, it’s time, the ladies can move into their substrate today. So today they will go into the prepared Terra-Canna-Seed Mix with the germination mix from Wizzys Garten in the planned 1-liter pot for germination. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, 19.03.2026 The cup is already a proud 4 days old, and the lady has reached her seedling stage. Light cycle 18/6h Climate values: Day temperature: 24-26 degrees Night temperature: 21-22 degrees Humidity: 65-70% Today, a little more watering was done. Water amount: 100 ml Stagnant water adjusted to pH 6.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, 22.03.2026 Let’s dive into the 2nd week of the cup together! The climate values are stable in the optimal range. (IMAGE is attached) And look, one lady has freed herself and is finally showing off her little sweet beauty. I’m naming her... KittyKira 😅🙈 Now time will tell how she does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday, 24.03.2026 Seedling Phase Day 5 Today, a little more water was given and lightly sprayed (water amount 150ml) The climate remains stable, but not much change is visible now... The active development is currently happening in the lower area... CLIMATE VALUES: Day temperature: 23.7-25.5 degrees Night temperature: 21-22 degrees Humidity: 65-70% (IMAGE is at 🙈😅) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, 26.03.2026 Seedling Day 7 Unfortunately, I had a little mishap while watering yesterday on the DREADFUL Tuesday 🙈, so I had to repot today - 😅 since she had just soaked too much... Thus, she has already moved into her prepared LIVING-SOIL-MIX from Wizzys Garten ahead of schedule. Sometimes life doesn’t always go according to plan 😅😉 So the setup has only changed slightly 😉 Now also in an 18-liter pot with a Plagron Light Mix - Compost - Living Soil Mix blend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday, 27.03.2026 Seedling Day 8 Pot size 18 liters Substrate: Plagron light mix/compost/Living-Soil-Mix (wizzysgarten.de) Today I just took a little peek and checked if everything is going as it should... I’m curious when KittyKira will really take off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, 31.03.2026 Seedling Day 12 / Veg 1 - 1 So, since I have a few small issues with the internet, I can only deliver a little update today... Please forgive me xD The little ones have somehow taken their time... But there’s strength in patience. Climate values are stable, Day temperature 24.3 degrees Night temperature 21 degrees Humidity 65-72% —------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, 05.04.2026 Day 17 Veg 1 - Day 6 It’s time for another update, the little ones are growing and thriving super well, after initially taking their time, they are now picking up speed... Today about 450-500ml of tap water adjusted to a pH of 6.3 was watered. Otherwise, nothing was done to the lady. Maybe she will be topped next week, I’ll decide that spontaneously. Tomorrow we move into Veg 2 - Day 1, see you tomorrow then! ✌️

Aykos_420Grow Tuesday, 31.03.2026 Day 12 VEG 1 - Day 1 So, some got a bit confused; the cup plant took a little more time. Why? Only she knows 😅 But now she’s made it! Today, the plant flood was used for the first time. I’m curious to see if the lady puts on some growth. Climate values: Day temperature: 24.3 degrees Night: 21 Humidity: 72% 2g of Plant Whisper was used in 200ml of water. Decided to take a control look, and I was positively surprised that the plant whisper must have told the ladies something 😅 because in less than 24 hours, the cup lady has put on weight, or rather, all 3 ladies have gone full throttle. Climate values today a bit warmer... But still stable at 0.8 vpd. Climate values today: Day temperature 26.5 degrees, Night temperature 22 degrees, Humidity: 74-78%. Unfortunately, one sensor has gone a bit higher. The humidity is rising, but the sensor from the humidifier is estimated at 72-74%... So I assume there’s a glitch with my Vivosun controller sensor. 😅 But that’s why I have 3 sensors in the tent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday, 02.04.2026 Day 14 VEG 1 - Day 3 Today, my curiosity was satisfied again 😅😂 and new pictures were taken... Tomorrow, some adjusted water will be poured again... And then there will be new data xD I wish you all a lovely Easter celebration 🐰 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, 05.04.2026 Day 17 VEG 1 - DAY 6 Happy Easter again, dear ones! Today, it’s time for a new update. One of my LFT sensors really got wiped out, but well, that can happen. Since I’m working with 3 sensors anyway, it’s no problem at all. The little one, after taking a bit more time at first, has really put on some growth. Climate values: Day temperature: 25.3 degrees, Night temperature: 21 degrees, Humidity: 65-70%. The lady received about 500 ml of adjusted tap water (pH=6.3) and is getting natural wind from the fan. All in all, everything is going quite well, and there are no negative reports. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aykos_420Grow Monday, 06.04.2026 Day 18 VEG 2 - Day 1 Today was another Plant Whisper Monday 😅 So it's time for an update again. The ladies received their second Plant Whisper treatment according to the instructions... So far, there’s nothing negative to report, I’ve inserted some cards for checking and precaution. I’m now considering whether to top them and then incorporate LST, or just let them grow without topping but with some light LST. Feel free to leave your opinion 😜🐰 I wish all growers a great Weedster Monday!

Aykos_420Grow Sunday, 04/19/2026 Veg3 Day - Day 1 Day 31 As you can see, the lady is developing as expected, but I'm starting to worry if there will be enough space for the plants 😈 Today, the growing lady received 1000ml of pH-adjusted tap water. She is now under double lighting. Main light: Lumatek ats 300 pro Supplemental light: Spider Farmer 1 Sf-1000 (approached vertically) The climate values have been slightly raised with the temperature since she seems to love the slightly warmer option... Climate values: Day temperature: 27.8 degrees Night temperature: 22 degrees Humidity: 62-70%

Aykos_420Grow Monday. 04.05 2026 Flowering Day 1 So today I spotted the first stigmas. And I can now start counting the bloom... So far, all the ladies are doing very well... The cup lady seems to be lagging a bit, as I see it... One of my ladies is performing slightly better than my cup plant. Today, I gave about 3 liters of adjusted tap water with a pH value of 6.5. Climate values Day temperature: 28 degrees Night temperature: 22 degrees Humidity: 60-65% So that's it again with the word for Monday 😅? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aykos_420Grow Thursday 21.05.2026 Week 3 Day 6 Day 63 Today, the lady was checked again and provided with water. She is doing wonderfully and forming beautiful buds. About 3 liters of adjusted tap water with a pH value of 6.5 were given, otherwise not much was done. She was LST'd and light LST was used. Now they are at a cozy 26.7 degrees and a humidity of 55 percent and are developing as planned. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 22.05.2026 Day 64 / Week 3 Day 7 Hey my dears, today there’s another update and new pictures. Today we are in flowering week 3 day 7, transitioning to week 4 😅 so far no problems except that one seems to have a deficiency (back left). However, the cup plant (back right) is doing great. VPD value of 0.9 - 1.0. With a humidity of just under 65%, the light output of the lamps will now be reduced to 80% to lower the temperature. In the tent, 2 fans are running and I was able to add another one... First, we will observe and then see tomorrow if I will use it to. Also get the jewel. Down further.. We’ll catch up again tomorrow.. All the best to you!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, 23 05 2026 - BW4 - Day 1 - Day 65 Wishing you a nice Saturday, today I thought I’d take a look. In the tent and take a few pictures... Currently, I have a slight problem with the warmer weather to keep the humidity below 60%... But not everything can go perfectly 😅😂 that would be too nice. Now I have connected a second exhaust to. At least reach 60%... Sunday 24 05 2026 - Week 4 - Day 2 - Day 66 Wishing you a lovely Pentecost Sunday, today the lady received a good 3 liters of water adjusted to a pH value of 6.5, some defoliation was done again. Otherwise, nothing was done today... However, due to the warmer days over 30 degrees in my apartment, an air conditioning unit was integrated to. Keep the temperatures below 27 degrees in the tent... Old building 4th floor 😅😂 Now slowly the wonderful flowers are forming, I’m curious if it will be 4 weeks or maybe still 6 weeks of flowering, One can be excited :) Now to another thing, You have products and want honest and community-related reviews, you can do that with me... Send me your products and I will test them honestly and community-related.. And do advertising for you... Tomorrow there will be new pictures! Until then, enjoy the sunny rest of Pentecost Sunday 🌼🍀 ------------------------------------------------- Thursday 28.05.2026 Week 4 - Day 6 Day 70 Unfortunately, I can’t manage to write regularly and briefly at the moment, so I try to keep the status of things here updated... I hope that order will be restored soon and I can write a daily status again like before... But the lady is doing wonderfully so far, I can say, the run is going a bit too perfectly, I have neither pests nor a deficiency with the cup lady that was unmanageable... According to that, it should be 9 - 10 weeks of flowering time, which means we are now about halfway there 🍀 The only downside is the conventional temperatures that let me reach around 30 degrees in the tent, but I have to ensure that the ladies can handle the temperature well... Today, another good 4 liters of water were given to keep the pH value constant at 6.5. See you in a few days, dear ones 🌼🍀 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 29.05.2026 - - - - Week 4 - - - - - Day 7 Day 71 So today there was the familiar check-up.. And I have to say, it’s going wonderfully.. Soon the light intensity will be increased... In the coming days, an additional fan will be added to. Manage the temperatures... She is growing and thriving, wonderfully .... 🍀 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, 01.06.2026 Week 5 - Day 3 Day 74 Today I thought I’d take some close-up shots, as the lady is slowly getting her glittery outfit... Today she received another nice 4 liters of water adjusted to a pH value of 6.5. Otherwise, nothing was done to the lady, except that the tent was aired for 2-3 hours... And I was free and took close-ups of the glitter buds 😅🍀 Feel free to leave comments and a few likes 😉✌️ Keep Calm and Stay high ❤️🖖 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, 03 06 2026 Day 76 Week 5 - Day 5 Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday and halfway through the week. Today, another check was made... The scent is continuously increasing, Today the cup lady received 3.75 liters of adjusted tap water... We are slowly approaching the finish line..

Aykos_420Grow Friday, 06/05/2026. BW 5 - Day 7 / BW 6 - Day 1 Day 78 Today I just checked if there were any optimizations to be made, so far it's really a top run, I'm even surprised at how well it's going. With the current weather and warmth, I've of course been struggling with the temperature on some days. Now the light intensity has been reduced to 70% to avoid unexpectedly hitting 27 degrees to protect the trichomes... It's slowly starting to sparkle, it's just always nice to see the ladies grow... Yesterday, Thursday 06/04/2026, the Cup Lady received a proud 4 liters of adjusted tap water (pH value 6.5). ------------------------------------------------ Monday, 06/08/2026. BW 6 - Day 4 Day 81 Today I checked again and adjusted the temperature... Even though I have 3 fans running, the weather temperature is really interfering with the work.... Recently, the temperatures in the tent have been rising to a good 30 degrees, which means I have to regulate the temperatures more often... But otherwise, this run is my best result so far in my 2-year grow-learning phase... And as you can see, you learn more with each run... I'm excited about the final result and my placement... Tomorrow is watering can day again 🤣🤣🤣 The lady will probably gulp down her 5 - 6 liters again... I wish you all a nice evening 🌱 ------------------------------------------------

Aykos_420Grow hey guys, sorry for not getting in touch for so long.. work and family have kept me a bit busy. .... I will post new pictures and a report on Monday... Cheers, your Ayko ----------------------------------------------- Monday, 15.6.2026. BW 7 - 4. Day 88 So today the lady got 4 liters of adjusted tap water after having to stay alone over the weekend... I was worried she wouldn't hold up without any damage, but I must say she surprised me positively! The buds are growing and the lady looks great. The trichomes are already nice and white.. I think I will keep an eye on her this week and then see if she is ready for harvest... or if she has reached my level! ------------------------------------------------

Aykos_420Grow Monday 18.06.2026. Week 8 - Day 1. (Day 93) Today the lady got her last bit of booster in the water... the last 6 days just adjusted water to flush her a bit and then she will be starved before the harvest. I want to apologize again for the breaks in the entries... But as life sometimes goes, it demands more from you at times and less at others... This time it was more for me... I'm sorry and hope I can bring you some joy with the pictures and the last days... Now to the climate, due to the heatwave I, like everyone else, have had a bit of trouble with the temperatures and humidity xD... And since it's coming to an end, of course, my own time is under more intense observation. I can't afford to have mold or botrytis in the final stretch, which would ruin the harvest... On Sunday, 21.06.2026, one of the 3 ladies will be tested by being chopped... The cup plant is allowed to and will bloom and ripen for another 14 days from then on... Climate data: Day temperature 27.8 degrees Night temperature 25.8 degrees Humidity between 58-66% I just can't get it any lower... The summer heat is getting in the way... But both ladies are looking good... Both the CUP-PM and my test-PM are in good shape. ------------------‐----------------------------- Sunday 21.06.2026 Week 8 - Day 4 (Day 96) Today one of the 3 ladies was chopped... No, of course not the cup-PM, she gets another 14 days to ripen xD Today both received about 4 liters of adjusted tap water for flushing.... Nothing else was done today except fighting with the temperature and humidity... Which will probably continue for the next few days... And a relaxed drying process will probably not be so relaxed with temperatures around 27 to 30 degrees... Everything but a relaxed drying 😅 But only the tough ones make it to the garden... Let's see how I dry this one lady now to have a value for the cup-PM to optimize the drying process better than now. I think putting it in the tent will probably get too humid... I need to think about it... Until the next days, my friends 😎😉♥️ ------------------------------------------------ Thursday 25.06.2026 Week 9 - Day 2 It's slowly heading towards the end... since I can't get the temperature below 29 degrees... But the lady looks super, just doesn't want to go into autumn mode... But with this heat, it's no wonder... Still, I'm trying to let her ripen as long as possible... New pictures will follow today around 6 PM... The ladies have only been getting tap water since Monday. I'm hoping now in the final stretch that she can make it through without too much heat stress... ------------------------------------------------ Saturday 27.06.2026 Week 9 Day 4 Today the lady got some ice-cold water for flushing... now I'm on the home stretch with her... The trichomes are slowly but surely turning amber... Today there were 3 liters of ice water... The temperatures are in the red zone for me... With the current heatwave, it's really problematic to stay below 27 degrees. Stay safe through the heat and take care of yourselves, drink enough! yours, Ayko ---‐-------------------------------------------- Monday 29.06.2026 Week 9 Day 6 Today the trichomes were checked... Many are milky, a few clear, and the amber coloring is now starting to show... I think the lady will be checked again in 3 days and then chopped! There's not much more to say at the moment... The climate is now stable with the cooler weather at 26.5 degrees... humidity is currently fluctuating between 46 and 60 percent... But I hope to get through the last days and meters without problems... Those were the words for Monday 😇☺️ ------------------------------------------------ Thursday 02.07.2026. Week 10 Day 2 Flowering Week 10 – Final Ripening / Chop Prep – Date: 02.07.2026 Today the Permanent Marker was supplied for the last time with 2L of pH-adjusted water without nutrients and additives to let the final ripening process run cleanly. The trichome check shows: ✅️ predominantly milky heads ✅️ a few amber trichomes ✅️ hardly any clear heads left ✅️ pistils mostly fully matured The plant is clearly in the Peak Harvest Window.🔥 The resin profile is strongly developed and the typical Permanent Marker terpene profile appears fully developed. Final Plan: ✅ Last full light cycle today ✅ Then the last dark phase ✅️ Friday last light phase ✂️ Harvest planned for Saturday just before Lights-On Goal: Harvest in the Sweet Spot for: 🔥 maximum aroma 🔥 strong potency profile 🔥 balanced effect between Head and Body 🔥 full gas/funk profile of the genetics Expectation: With the current ripeness level, a very high-quality end product is to be expected. The last 24 hours are only for final fine-tuning. Status: Ready for Chop ?🔥 ------------------------------------------------ Sunday 05.07.2026. Week 10 Day 3

Aykos_420Grow So today I chopped the cup lady, unfortunately my main cola got hit with some bud rot, but after cutting away the affected areas, the losses are rather minimal. Once the lady is dried, I'll report the total weight. I just forgot to weigh her while she was wet.. hope you can be understanding.
