This plant is very close to being done, I am going to be looking at the Trichomes in a couple of days,, They are starting to Cloud up now and should be done very soon. I am happy I got a couple of plants this cycle as the Central Illinois temps are unpredictable in Winter and spring.....

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

The girls started to pre-flower on the 6th of June. They all have a slight smell when you rub the leaves. Kosher cake, Strawberry banana and the Forbidden runtz have a sweet smell to them. The Forbidden runtz reminds me of the smell of skywalker OG which is totally LUSH..!! The blackberry has more of an deep earthy smell with a slight bit of fruitiness. Super excited for the next few weeks with these ladies. Happy toking my peeps 😁

DAY 11 !! can someone let me know if my plants are looking healthy ? It’s my first time so I’m trying not to fu** up... and should I be worried that some of them already have purple stems? They have been purple for at least 4-5 days and nothing else looks wrong with them?

Getting thirstier and taller and more and more pink every day!! Starting to smell amazing! Some days no smell I notice at all, others absolutely wreaks of fruity skunk mainly grape-ish at the moment with berries and cherries, honestly can’t wait for her to finish! FastBuds never cease to amaze me with their genetics! Full time FastBuds from here on out for me! Won’t go with anyone else! ** SO, if you’re thinking about trying out FastBuds seeds… i HIGHLY recommend them! Super fast, super beautiful! ** Another three to be germinated in the next few weeks! Unsure which ones yet though but I have a multiple choice 😆😍 She has showed me absolutely 0 deficiencies or efficiencies or anything through the entire growth so far! Maybe one tiny case of cal mag deficiency in week 2 veg which I only noticed on one leaf then fed cal mag with the next feed a few days later, it’s never spread or returned!! Amazing!! Starting to look so so pretty and I hope the flowers stay changing purpleish pink!! I’m going to do three FastBuds seeds of one strain next, you guys can help me choose (list below)! 😆😎 I have faith in you all 😎🙏🏻 Cherry cola Purple lemonade Banana purple punch Gorilla cookies EDIT: THIS IS 3 WEEKS IN FLOWER NOT FROM SEED. When I started the diary I was just starting flower and started it wrong. She’s actually just started week 6 today from seed. Week 3 of flower today. This my first diary here so I’m just still getting used to it 😆 thanks guys! Love you FastBuds! 😎

🌗Switching to flowering this week, I reduced the length of the day by 1 hour each day until reaching 12 hours night time / 12 hours daylight on the 32rd day!🌞 🌺On the 32rd day I apply a layer of organic nutrients mixed with a little soil that I add to the top of each pot. I added 35 grams of BioBloom to each of my pots🌺 I'm doing some light defoliation again this week Happy, the growth went very well. Can't wait to see the buds now ! 😁🤞 ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering I water all my pots the same day but with more or less water. Simply by lifting them; A light pot is a dry pot and will need more water, A heavy pot is a wet pot and will need less water. On average I water my gelato pot with: Day 32 : 1 L with 0.8 grams of bio enhancer/L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 65-80%) Night : 14-17°C (Humidity : 75-85%) Outside the tent it is around 16°C with 70% humidity The humidity is a little too high, I hope it will drop a little and I won't have a problem with mold during flowering😅🤞 ------------------------------------------------------------ 🚀Equipment of the week ⭐️ : Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 50cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro. power 1/10. ON 24/24h 2 fans to circulate the air inside the tent. Each on for 30 minutes then off for 1 hour. this rhythm repeats itself in a loop I'm removing my heat mat this week. ------------------------------------------------------------ 📜Links : Gelato seeds🌱 : https://www.zamnesia.fr/5671-zamnesia-seeds-gelato-feminisee.html Mars Hydro : 5% off with my discount code "houstone5" 💪 https://www.mars-hydro.com/?acc=hou-stone 👨‍🚀My Instagram❤️️: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Tanks for your visit😀💚

Hi everyone Welcome 🙂 We arrived today at the end of week 12 in sweet company with these beautiful five girls all from the same family , KALINI ASIA 🕉️🎋 For those who already know no further explanations are needed, but just to be precise.. This diary it's for the Zamnesia Spring Cup 🏆 I'm growing all seeds Zamnesia has provide us for try to show how this strain can grow in different ways. The substrate will be the same light-mix soil mix with cocco and some one with humus The nutrients and the cultivation techniques will be different for each one So , I have reported down below what I do and I will do every week for the next few months.. The 5 ways 🌲🌳🌴🌵🎄 PS (Things I have and I still use in flowering , I have put for all five down below 👇, because are mostly the same) K # ​​1 🌿 {BLOOM n°6} Final height= 30cm Is the lady where I have use all the things ZAMNESIA was provide to us for free👌💯 ( I will spend more words about it when I post the harwest) _11l ZAMNESIA-POT _70g MONSTER-MIX _60%light-mix soil/30%cocco/10%perlite _mycorrhizae This girl is slightly faster in flowering when compared to the other four.. I remind you that both she and K # 2 and K # 3 entered flowering one week after K # 4 and two weeks after K # 5 respectively.. In addition, all three were tied by practicing LST, without topping I simply carried out a slight defoliation and lollipopping in its first half weeks after the 12/12 light change Everything is going well and for now I am more than satisfied 👌 She and K # 3 are not showing and I really think they won't delight us with pink / purple colors On the other hand, however, the buds are very dense and have a higher concentration of trichomes We'll see 😉 The other things I have use in this last seven days I will put down below 👇 K#2 🌿 {BLOOM n°6} Final height= 30cm For this girl I have use a different approach.. _11l smart-pot _Living Soil (my High-Brix formula) _mycorrhizae How beautiful she is right now 😍 The leaves are gradually losing their beautiful light green color becoming more and more yellow The plant has been in the auto flush phase, if we can say so, for about ten days.. So it will probably be ready shortly after 60 days 📆 The aroma that emanates is very good, it sincerely reminds me of a little Kush because of earthy hints I still don't feel it🙌 I will probably find them in smoke, but certainly in mix with other more citric / fruity notes It is still early to understand Certainly in the next two weeks the aromas will tend to explode.. I can't wait 😋 The inflorescences are slightly smaller than the others, most likely due to the diet they are following.. But I have no doubt that the flavor will be exceptional once dried and tanned at its best 🔥 Like the other sisters , the micro life/nutrients/stimulator I have use in this last seven days I have put down below 👇 K#3 🌿 {BLOOM n°6} Final height= 35cm With this girl I have use.. _11l plastic-pot _20gMONSTER-MIX + 70g guano kalong + 25g kelp kalong + some organic nutrients/stimulator _mycorrhizae This beautiful lady is the most leafy of the family 🍃 But also the one with the fatter flowers and perhaps with the greatest quantity of resin 💪 It is almost identical to K # 1 in terms of smell The flowers if you observe them well differ slightly as the white pistils are much more elongated than the sister who is growing in the official pot of Zamnesia.. Most likely at the end of this new week , I will start to defoliate a little bit ✂️ A little stress towards the end never hurts, just don't go overboard 😉👌 We will see how she reacts.. Things I have use this week down below 👇 K#4 🌿 {BLOOM n°7} Final height= 40cm The little one ..but the most resinous of the three purple/pink 💪 Whit her I have using.. _5l air-pot _30g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae This little girl really smells delicious, but still very similar to K # 2 and K # 5.. Its buds are not too large but very sticky to the touch 🔥 She and K # 5 need water every day 💧 Certainly having used an airpot helps to dry the ground first.. Its larger leaves are now a beautiful yellow color and in a few days they will begin to fall I really think that at the latest within two weeks she can be mature at the right point 👌 As I said before, the flowers are not very large, but present along all the branches.. Even the lower ones have reached a remarkable durability that is gradually increasing We will see in the end 🤗 Other nutrients/stimulator I have put down below 👇 K#5 🌿 {BLOOM n°8} Final height= 60cm The beautiful one.. _7l geotextile pot ( not completely full , about 5,5/6 liters ) _40g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae I love everything about her.. The ease of cultivation, the production of flowers entirely along the branches, the beautiful color of the latter and the spatial aroma🚀🔥 Now then, since he started to run out of nutrients, he has taken on and is taking on beautiful colors.. From green to yellow with fantastic purple hues.. The density of the trichomes is not at extreme levels, perhaps also because of the heat 🌡️ But the aroma it gives off is amazing A real pearl 👌👌 Today we are exactly 60 days from when it entered flowering.. I really think it will be ready not earlier than 70 days.. But I'm more than happy to wait a little longer I can't wait to enjoy it in a few months Ok and that's all about the general state of each one Now I have reported over here the other things I have using in this last seven days , apart the regular water I have give every day mostly for each ones 💧 So.. K#1 / K#2 / K#3 _5,5ml molasses each one _3,5ml rinhoskin each one _3,5ml topmax each one _3,5ml sensizym each one For the other two I have only using regular water💧 and some enzymes for K#4 So , for this last one this week I have using.. K#4 _2ml sensizym And instead for K#5 I have use _ water , every day We are getting closer to the conclusion of this fantastic cycle.. I have not encountered obvious problems so far, we hope to continue on this path.. This strain is really interesting and it is surprising me more and more I hope that you too can enjoy the best of the floral show, the photos do not do justice to the beautiful colors that I am seeing 📸🌸💮🏵️ Maybe it will be much clearer when I bring the flowers back once everything is done 😎 For now, this is it Stay tuned if you don't want to miss the show And thank you all for the support you have given me to date 🙏🙏 See you in week n°13 😄 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Had to move this one into the flower chamber of the BlumenBot DZ1 cabinet since I'm curing epoxy rosin in the room where the BlumenBot Solo cabinet is in. Cleaned her up quite a bit, the canopy is nearly there, she might catch up to mendo breath and flip at the same time. 10/8 - cleaned her up a little more and took out a few tops and fan leaves. Also put little 90* angle clips on 4 of the shoots

Things are starting to turn around. The girls are looking much better overall. Starting to see some nice color and growth from the older girls and the new seedling is looking great. I've beed watering mostly with plain ph'ed water. But I've also started adding a little Cal-Mag (from Symbys) and Recharge once per week.
