Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics.

She's by far the prettiest plant I've grown, she keeps smelling better and better. I haven't documented the nutrients very well but within the past few weeks I've slowly started feeding her more and more till it's seems like a significant amount to note. She's looking to finish up by Christmas hopefully!

So this is the start of the fourth week with me. I find this very engulfing. I like spending an hour with them a day and move the little ones out of the bigger fan leaves shadow by tucking the larger ones away giving the little ones a chance to get more light and flourish. I’m noticing more the strain my one girl went through compared to the others, her leaves being smaller than the other girls. I’ve tried to give them the best environment I can and realize I still play a huge role in their life. This is my first grow and I love it. I hope they grow up well and flourish. They were fed last week and had a bit of nutrient burn so this week I gave them just water. I’m not sure how much longer I should veg but I hear in the scrog game the longer you veg the better. Hoping for the best for everyone on GrowDiaries and their grows!

07/01/2024 - They are starting to get some colors, size not yet but they look amazing and there is a smell of citrus!! Days in flower: 42 11/01/2024 - Last photo in the next 13 days, I'm going again on vacations and will be going all in on my Autopots. I hope they do the trick like they always have ❤️‍🔥

This week the plant finally gets the tent to itself and I began training for a wider canopy , poor girl looks tortured lol in this week I notice a mutation on one of the branches fasciation which I show in the video I’m unsure as what to do because in the week because I want to switch the plant very soon to flower and don’t want to waste a branch but I kinda wanted to see what the buds would look like if I left i ultimately decided to chop it

Grow Diary – Week 6, Day 1 of Flowering Boom, today marks Week 6, Day 1 of flower and things are moving along nicely. Buds are stacking and the aromas are straight-up explosive — seriously, it’s getting loud in the tent. PPMs are holding steady around 1000 and I'm dialing in pH to 5.8 every time, no exceptions. The only gripe I’ve got is how dense and crowded the plant has become. I got a bit greedy during training, went for too many shoots packed too close together. Now there’s a ton of foliage and the lower bud sites just aren’t getting the light they need. I’m in there every single day at lights-on, doing leaf tucking and rearranging to get better light penetration to those lower sites and hopefully avoid a bunch of larf. Lesson learned for next round: focus on strong main shoots only, less is more. But with the way things are going, I’m still optimistic I’ll pull at least 7 oz of solid, dank bud. Whatever ends up on the fluffier side will go to canna butter, nothing wasted! Airflow’s solid. Got three fans in action one low, one mid, and one up top keeping everything circulating. Humidity’s on the drier side, which is intentional to help prevent mold, powdery mildew, or pests, especially with how tight the canopy is. Gotta stay ahead of the game. Plant might be a little wild right now but overall we’re on track. Fingers crossed for a strong yield. Let’s go.

I never actually weighed this plant once dried. I would estimate around 400+ grams as I gave away so much to friends and it still lasted me well over 2 years. Beleive it or not, my wife who disapproves of me smoking never knew I was growing. Until the end that is when she needed a screw driver and entered my shed to see what you can see in the videos. Hahahaha, it took a while to recover from this thats for sure. After this crop was finished, I basically rarely smoked for 4 years until I decided to go under lights this year. And now outdoors again with my latest project.

We are on week 10 and the trichome production is in overdrive on theses girls ..

Looks like most of the stretch has stopped for both plants. There appear to be two slightly different phenos with one slightly taller than the other. The shorter one seems slightly further along with a bit more flower development and some frost starting to show. I've done a couple rounds of defoliation to get some better air flow and light to bud sites. I also went through and pinched off most of the lower bud sites that were not going to get sufficient light to develop.

Day 22 - Plant is 6 inches tall. Tons of roots sticking down into the water. Checked PPM 215. PAR/PPFD ranges from 200 to 270 at the height of the plant. Day 25 - Plant is 9 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Water dropped a lot. PPM was 100. Added 2 gallons of RO. Added 10 mL of CalMag. Added 10 mL of the 3 base nutes Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of each of the additives. PPM was 515. Day 26 - Plant is 11 inches tall. Fast growth! Short and bushy. Roots are thick as spaghetti noodles and formed a thick rootball. Nearly a dozen budsites. Stem is thicker then a pencil. Day 27 - PPM is 415 in am. Afternoon PPM is 370. Plant is 12 inches tall. PAR/PPFD is 400 to 450 near the top of the plant. DLI is 27 based on 20 hours on and 4 hours off. Late night checked PPM 375. Added 10 mL of Micro Grow and Bloom nutes. PPM is 810. Day 28 - PPM is 775. The plant is getting huge. The stock is about as thick as a Bic lighter. Plant is 13 inches tall.

One plant has got purple top buds. Very strong smell. I’m doing the flushing for the excess nutrients.

This plant plus one more started to wilt earlier on in the week, I figured it was probably time to transplant seeing as they had been in the solo cups for 2 weeks. After transplant plants seemed to be happy again. I introduced amino acids this week as well. They are getting the grease spray and drench program

Welcome to the Gardens of Queen Peaky! This is the last week for these little girls in their birth vessels. next week we will reinvest in larger pots and we will transfer these jewels into another tent starting with the 12/12 cycle for flowering happy harvest for everyone

She's going to be a big one!!

Ya estoy de vuelta, hay errores con la página al subir los vídeos pero es igual, los intentaré subir otro rato si no suben ya. Estas misty gorilla auto tienen un ritmo frenético , estoy con la modalidad LST , y la verdad que con esta variedad es muy recomendable. Regulo el ph en 6,2 la temperatura no sube de 26 grados y la humedad oscila el 50%. Están bajo un CFL de 250w. Estas autos están siendo alimentadas con la gama completa de AgroBeta. Sin zambeza y sin AgroBeta esto no es posible así que gracias 🙏. Un saludo fumetillas.

* Week 6 Flower Mimosa (1 -2) - 10/8* Both Mimosa's are near harvest about a week left, Lotus CarboFlush will begin this week. Mimosa (1) - 38 Inches - Mimosa (2) - 28 Inches. Trichomes have set in - Pulled off trellis net this week * Pre-Harvest set-up - 10/15* Both plants have been cut down and are drying out accordingly (Day -1) Dry time will be 9-14 days - Dry temps are 60% Humidity - 62 degrees F.

Edit Tag 10: Ich musste was an der Position meines Thermo Hydrometer ändern. War schlecht ausgesucht das Eckchen. Auch gab es schon was blödes was ausgemerzt werden musste. Tag 11: Habe die Kurze schon getoppt. Scheint sie aber gut verkraftet zu haben. Mal gucken Tag 13: 2,2 Liter Wasser + 1,5 ml/L Calmag . Einmal kräftig bewässern. 15 L Softpot. Tag 14: Ich glaube soweit alles gut. Gas geben tut sie denke ich^^ Naaa... was lief mal wieder daneben??? Antworten gerne unten hin 😁 Der Ventilator der von oben auf die Pflanze pustete, war nicht gut. Habe den von unten angemacht um den Wasserdampf mehr gegen die Zeltwand zu pressen. Ansonsten bin ich zufrieden soweit. Wollen wir mal gucken.... PPFD: ca. 620 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Soo ihr lieben.. Gerne fasse ich euch nochmal mein Growequipment zusammen. Hier mein Beitrag zur Woche 2 mit, wie im Video angesprochen, ein wenig Gartentalk. Wie erwähnt ist es für andere einfacher, die kein deutsch verstehen sich gewisse Infos einzuholen. U have to translate it then, sry Buddy Wenn wer Anregungen oder Vorschläge hat, bin ich selbstverständlich offen für. Wichtig für mich ist einfach das jeder vernünftigen und regelkonformen Zugang zu einer "Rauschalternative" hat, ohne an Alkohol denken zu müssen. Es ist Budget freundlich und wird mit Sicherheit zu angenehmen Ergebnissen führen ohne die Urlaubskasse zu sprengen. Gönnt euch aber lebt... Ist auch nur Cannabis !!! Mein derzeitiges Equipment sieht folgendermaßen aus: ZELT: Garden High Pro ECO Pro Box 60x60x140 (0,36m2) ABLUFT: Garden High Pro Axial inline Lüfter (106 m3/h) Pro Aktiv Kohlefilter (250 m3/h) Sonodec schallgedämpfter Abluftschlauch Standart Schlauchschellen 3x Hier verweise ich mal auf "Dirks Grow Shop" der hat dieses Abluftset für einen sehr schmalen Taler im Gepäck. Man kann dort selber konfigurieren. Zumal der Onkel gerne nen Lighthanger dazu gibt. Je nachdem was man so bestellt. THERMO- Hydrometer: Garden High Pro mit zweitem 1,5 m langem Temperaturfühler. Wie errechnet man sich, die benötigten Kubikmeter für sein Zelt: Volumen der Growbox: Breite x Länge x Höhe x 60 = notwendige Abluftleistung pro Stunde. Bei einem Zelt dieser Größe wie ich es habe und einer 150 Watt Lampe, sollte das Abluftsystem mindestens 56 m3/h Luft austauschen. Da ich das doppelte fahre sollte es nicht zu Komplikationen kommen. Wenn eure Umgebung sehr warm und Feucht ist rate ich gerne zu zusätzlichen 20 m3/h oder mehr. Das heißt 106m3/h + 20 m3/h oder mehr. UMLUFT: 2 x CSL Tischventilatoren. Die sind schwenkbar / 2D und kosten nicht die Welt. Laufen wie am schnürchen ohne Ausfälle! GROWSTANGEN: 4x um dem Unterdruck entgegen zu wirken. Gerne auch Spacebooster genannt. POT: Gronest Stofftöpfe 15 Liter (da passen gerne 21 - 22 Liter Erde rein) Dazu dann ein Geschirrkorb sodass der gesamte Pot in der Luft steht. Überall kommt Sauerstoff dran. TOP! Alles steht aber trotzdem noch auf einer Abtropfschale SCROG Netz TROCKENNETZ: 45cm Durchmesser Secret Jardin LUFT BEFEUCHTER: Vonroc. Leider nicht der zuverlässigste. Musste wie im Video zu sehen mit einem stück Klebestange, für Klebepistolen, den Austrittsschlitz verkleinern, da der Luftbefeuchter sich nicht mehr korrekt regeln lässt. LICHT: Mars Hydro FCE 1500 EVO mit 150 Watt dimmbar. Dimmer ist wirklich wichtig um den kurzen nicht gleich die volle Ladung Licht zu verpassen. 2x Zeitschaltuhr + 3er Steckdose mit 2x USB Anschlüssen für die Umluft. Pflanzenglocke für die frühe Sämlingsphase. Eine Packung Kabelbinder und Klebeband sollten auch nicht fehlen. Und zu guter Letzt mein selbstgebauter Windschutz, sodass ich auch Mal das Fenster in der Küche aufhaben kann ohne das die kurze gleich einen kalten Windzug abbekommt. ----- DAS WOLLT IHR NICHT HABEN-----!!! Siehe Orion F1... My Bad. Einfach Weiße und Schwarze Pappe zu basteln zusammen kleben und fertig. Weiß für innen und schwarz für aussen. Und achtet bitte auf den VPD Wert eurer Pflanzen. Sehr wichtig um gute Ergebnisse zu ernten. Tabelle gibt es im Netz. Auch sei gesagt: Budget Set gleich manuelle Anpassungen und teures Set gleich automatisierter Prozess. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nun wollen wir uns aber wieder dem widmen, warum man überhaupt hier ist. Der Auto Candy von Divine Seeds. Ich möchte vorab nochmals betonen das ich bei 3 bekommenen Samen 2 habe kommen lassen. Eine gewollt und eine ungewollt. Hab sie im Beet verloren als ich ein Foto gemacht habe. Alle beide sind gekeimt. Keimrate 100% TOP Ich hatte zu Anfang einen Fehler mit der Pflanzenglocke gemacht. Die hat an den Seiten unten 2 Luftschlitze. Die habe ich mit Erde zugeschüttet. Das war nicht so klug, da ich ihr wohl damit ein wenig die Luft zum Atmen genommen habe. Ich war der Meinung ich tun ihr was gutes in dem ich die Luftfeuchtigkeit so aufrecht erhalte... Wie dann auf den Fotos zu erkennen ist, hat se ein wenig gelitten. Sie wurde "Giftgrün" und sehr "aufgedunsen"(Blätter) war zuviel des Guten. Hat sich aber wieder super berappelt und schießt nach vorne. Alles gut. Glück gehabt. In der 1. Woche habe ich mit ca 200 PPFD angefangen und liege an Tag 8 bei 500 PPFD. Im Vergleich zum vorherigen Diary liege ich wohl 1 Tag zurück. 300 PPFD hätten es sein sollen. Sollte ich aber wieder raus bekommen, da die Temps und Luftfeuchte viel besser sind. Auch ist es etwas konstanter von der Umgebung her. Derzeit Versuche ich mich zwischen 27° bis 28° Celsius und einer Luftfeuchte von 60-66 % Luftfeuchte anzusiedeln. Soweit so gut..... Ich bedanke mich und sage bis dann
