Hey hey my fellow growers, I hope everyone had an excellent week! It is great to be back here at the beginning of week six, let’s get into it! Last week I had misspoke- I said I was going to train 5 of the 6 plants I have going from fastbuds, this was false…. What I meant is all 6… Yes at the time I had only INTENDED on messing with 5 but the last one, the way it was structured with the self top, it was practically BEGGING me to get in there and play with it- and I ask you this- who would I be to deny that little strawberry pie the simple pleasure of a little training? So train I did… Nothing crazy, but actually for all six plants (despite my best efforts, best being debatable) to not go overboard- I have been going in a doing a little bit of training and taking a leaf off here and there if it’s blocking any potential bud sites. I am trying to be really careful and not do too much at once and upset any of them- but at the same time, after stunting them a bit with the taproot incident (which I will keep referring to until I learn from that mistake) I want to do what I can to maximize yield after tripping up a bit in the beginning. We will see how it goes, but for now, everything seems to be doing well and responding well to the bit of training I have been doing. Right now I am seeing a range of sizes among the bunch- the forbidden runtz are both shorter and squatier coming in at about 5.5 inches in height each and I notice everything is spaced a bit tighter on these so I have had some difficulty spreading them out but not to any problematic extent, just in comparison with the rest- Next we have the strawberry pie- the smaller one coming in at 5.5inches, is the one that I was speaking about that had topped itself. It seems to be doing well and handling the training just fine. However the other one, that one is much bigger and is about 8.5 inches tall. It wasn’t until I busted out the ruler that I saw that this was the second biggest plant of the fast buds. That leaves the largest which of course was the gorilla cookies! The smaller of the two is coming in at 8 inches and the larger one coming in at 9.5! They are both tied down and doing great, showing growth each day after being trained and having select leaves removed. We are getting closer and closer to flower I hope to have a bit more time with them but that is totally in their hands, so we will see what happens- the game plan now for me at this point is to keep doing what I’ve been doing- trying to balance on a delicate line. As far as other news… I am doing dishes the other day- I have my phone propped up with YouTube on and dude grows playing (my preferred way to do dishes) I hear the dude mention a giveaway they are doing that I had submitted an entry for recently so my ears had perked up…👀 I saw they had the contest page pulled up and on display and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see my picture right now, sure enough- I hear them start talking about my pictures! I in no way won (at this point, my fingers are crossed though haha) and I realize that this is debatably anticlimactic however, I listen to these guys everyday at work so I was stoked! I still am! There are lots of good giveaways going on right now, all the amazing contests going on on this site, Instagram wherever! You have to be in it to win it folks and often it doesn’t take much to enter- I wish you all luck if you participate in any holiday contests and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday week and I will catch you all here at the same time in the same place hopefully with some new goodies and we can continue this fastbuds journey! Growers love and happy holidays everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

🌸 Week 7 Flower — Eternity Grow Cup Update 🌸 📍Week 18 from seed 📸 +150 high-quality photos & videos provably more ups but they are shining and they deserve the attention EC 2.5 | pH 6.2 | Full spectrum + under canopy light tuning Welcome back to one of the most breathtaking updates so far in the Eternity Grow Cup. Week 7 Flower has arrived with a storm of frost, color, aroma, and structure — this is the beginning of the final masterpiece, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Each of the five phenotypes is shining in her own unique way, and the individuality of each plant is now in full display. From deep fruit tones to dense stacking, this week is a celebration of what happens when genetics, environment, and love come together in harmony. 💎 Standouts of the Week • Pheno #1: Still holding the crown for the most intense fruity profile — bursting with sweetness, almost candy-like, and surpassing all expectations week after week. • Frost levels are skyrocketing across the board. These buds are starting to look snow-covered, shimmering under every light source. • Bud structure is really starting to swell — you can see the shift now as things gear up for ripening. We’re talking weight, mass, and beauty. 🔬 What’s Working This is a week where everything is clicking: • The mix of Plagron and Aptus nutrition lines is showing insane synergy. The balance of strength and finesse is just right, and the girls are loving it. • ICL 300 under-canopy lights are performing beyond expectations. They’re lighting up every shaded spot, helping buds form from bottom to top with full integrity. You can see the results in the side buds — tight, frosty, and reaching up. • We’re holding strong on spectrum tuning and DLI, hitting the right numbers at the right time, and that precision is paying off in how fast these ladies are moving forward. • Temperatures and airflow have been key — we’re still running the vortex-style air movement, and it’s doing wonders for the microclimate around each plant. 🌿 Just 2–3 Weeks From Harvest It’s starting to feel real. We’re entering the final arc. The finish line is not far, but right now, it’s all about patience, observation, and letting nature complete its masterpiece. Every moment counts now. 🎥 We’ve documented everything in full 4K and high-res stills. This is a week for the books — every trichome, every pistil, every sparkle. Be sure to head over to YouTube for the full experience and follow the journey with us. 🤝 Special Thanks To all the growers, new followers, silent watchers, lovers, haters, and everyone in between — thank you. This journey is built with you, and this cup wouldn’t exist without your energy. To all the participants in the Eternity Cup — congratulations. Every diary, every tent, every effort is valid. We’re getting close to the finish line, and it’s now in the judges’ hands. But no matter what happens, you’re all already legends for growing with intention and passion. 📲 Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for sneak peeks, unseen content, and special behind-the-scenes looks. Every plant has a story, and we’re telling it together.

Hey Leute! Das ist nun der Stand nach Woche 3. Die Blütenstände entwickeln sich allmählich und allgemein macht sie mir einen guten Eindruck. Einige Blätter werden langsam gelb-lila farben, was hoffentlich auf den Fortschritt der Blüte hindeutet und nicht auf einen Mangel. Wenn ihr da mehr drüber wisst bzw. Sagen könnt, gebt mir doch gerne mal ein Kommentar. Möchte nochmal erwähnen, dass ich kein Profi bin sondern dies mein 2. Grow ist. Falls ihr Tipps für Verbesserungen habt oder Anregungen für Veränderung, gerne kommentieren! Habe die Zufuhr von Stickstoff nun angehoben um auf den erhöhten Bedarf zu reagieren, da mir die Blätter etwas zu hell aussahen.

I'm finaly able to check in on her again. ### Day 9 ### She is looking good, a little short, but that should turn out alright. The humidity was only 30%, so I tried to raise it by spraying the walls of the bucket and adding a damp sponge. Watered her with 0.5l ph'd water and also lowered the light again to 40cm from the plant. ### Day 10 ### Looks like she is developing another set of leaves, keep it up girl! 👌Humidity is still not really on point, the sponge doesn't seem to help. Decided to cook some water and put the water cooker next to the vent, hopefully this is a solution. ### Day 11 ### Growing steadily, the new set of leaves are showing more clearly today. The water cooking seem to have some effect, but sadly it doesn't last long, maybe I should look for an air humidifier. ### Day 12 ### Decided to pull the trigger on an air humidifier. Because my grow space is naturally stabilizing to 30%, I don't really need a dehumidifier. This is a lot better then cooking water every few hours! 😛 ### Day 13 ### I will be away again till day 17. I gave her 0.6l of water with her first batch of food and then put 0.25l ph'ed water in the dipper so that she won't dry out. Also noticed that when the humidity was 65% her leaves where a little droopy and now at 50% they look ok. Will try to keep it at 55% while I'm away.

Another Great Week Down! The ladies are looking great, these Orange Sherbets are a little ahead of the Six Shooters The stretch is REAL. Hahaha Everything going fairly smooth besides not being able to get this pH down a little. I have burned their tips a few time trying to flush with a high ppm low pH solution. Everything else seems to be in order though. Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

Removed some buds that weren't getting any light, I ran into some issues regarding mold and that is most likely due to the fact that the RH % of my tent goes up to 70/80% at night. I've removed all mold I could see (2 branches) and I am keeping a close eye on them, I've placed a new tower fan and another small adjustable fan in the tent for more airflow, my dehumidifier is coming in 2 weeks (around the time this grow is finished..)

I live in Brazil and it's almost year-round summer. Always had problems with temperature when growing in a closet and HPS with the internal closet temperature during the summer time hitting almost 45 degrees celsius or more! So this time I'm trying to grow in a Fully Working Fridge to keep the temperature down. I brew beer as well so this fridge has a temperature controller and it keeps on 20-23 degrees celsius. Using a 500w equivalent LED Panel. For the air flow and exchange, the idea is to use a Carbon Scubber to constantly filter the internal air, a CO2 tank and an air de-humidifier. The carbon filter will also reduce the odor and the fridge door is well sealed. I guess it's like a big sealed grow room with air conditioner, but smaller. -- Timelapse video shows the vegetative state, with an automatic plant flowering (not super lemon haze)

Starting to swell up really nicely. Delicious rounded sweet smell mixed with a sour diesel and a earthy smell. Pretty frosty and sticky. It still needs atleast 10 to 14 days to finish up in my estimation, maybe 20 days. Light defoliation happened on july 1st. Its very leafy

Her leaves are being leached of all their nutes. We are approaching the end of this plants journey within the next week or two. Molasses and plain bottled water seem to be doing her great.

I realized the height was getting out of control for the greenhouse. Tied everything down and now it's starting to hook. Lots of lst and supercropping. The Coco Bruce back left too some bad damage today lost 2 big stocks, we'll see how she recovers. Happy growing everyone!
