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 !

Everything is going great, I also think my plants have stopped stretching/growing, although really close to the lights. I am not seeing lightburn, is this is something should be concerned about? The leaf temp is about 75 degree under the light. Also just sticking with AN Bloom, Big Bud, Bud Candy. Should I be using B52? Also is overdrive worth it? it seems expensive for two weeks worth of work? One more question? Is superThrive bad in flowering? I read somewhere it could make bad things happen in flower because of the hormones it has. thus my question about B52.

Another great week. She stacked up her buds and should be getting the chop in the coming days. The frost on her is amazing. I also sampled a test nug and just dam. It's some quality bud lol.

I've stopped giving them fertiliser and did a root flushing 4 days ago. They are looking good, smaller buds of what could have been with the correct equipment and dedication but I can't complain. I don't have a magnifying glass so I'm basing myself on the pistils to know when to harvest. I think I'll give them one more week but everyone is welcome to give me advice, would love to receive feedback from more experienced people.

Week 4 begins for Divine storm 1&2, 4 weeks to go! Both ladies are looking good, DS1 is a bit more thirsty then her sister DS2, I'll keep a close eye on her this week and will feed her extra if necessary. Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳💚

Day 23 - Had some problems with Calcium because I had not buffered the coco... Made a nutrient flush with a solution of 2ml/gal of CalMag Xtra and 1ml/L of Sensi Coco Bloom A/B diluted at 550 PPM. Now the run-off PPM is higher and the ladies seem recovered. Wish I learned from mistakes. Keep running 🙏🏼 Day 25 - Everything ok. The plant's growing strong and healty. The growth in coco is soo faster than soil!

In der elften Woche tut sich nicht mehr viel. Es herbstelt an den Blättern. Die Lemon Haze ist etwas schneller als die Euforia und hätte geerntet werden können. Es gibt nur noch wenige klare Trichome. Ich werde beide noch eine Woche stehen lassen und dann schneiden.

This is a sad weekend for me. My cannabis activists and I have been stuck by the sudden death of the leader of the group. He was a warrior for the QUEEN 💚👑. My cookies are coming up well and the buds are stacking on day by day. Trichomes is visible and there's a tropical smell in the grow room.

This Girl is on fire, i am completely in love with everything about her, she is frosty, she is fast growing , she is the most pest resistant plant i ever grew, could not find yet a single what ever pest on her, she smells retarded crazy for the stage shes in , i mean, dont even know how to describe what i am felling growing this Mama and the memories that she is bringing me from the 90s , i mean this is a very peculiar and familiar smell that i didnt see around for over a decade minimum, big but big shout out to Dutch Passion, much respect guys you did a great job on this creation of yours , loving every single aspect of this journey so far !!! This week started my K supplement and increased my doses on it all bringing my TDS up to 550, increased my PPFD up to 900/100 Umol/m2/s, its time to make this beautiful fruits fat , heavy and , i know it looks impossible but, with more and more trichomes with is something i already can tell that is going to be something out of this galaxy, not this world , out of this galaxy <3 <3 <3 As always thank you all for stoping by, for your time, your love and for it all, i am truly blessed with you all.

Hey there, green warriors and cannabis lovers! 🌱🔥 We’re now in week 3 of the flowering stage in our Runtz Battle, and things are really starting to heat up! This week brought an interesting twist as we had to make a strategic adjustment to ensure all our plants are on the same page. Let’s dive into the details and explore how things are progressing. Week 3 Flowering Progress 🌿✨ Our Runtz plants continue to flourish, and here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds are filling out beautifully, with each day bringing more growth and resin production. The plants are stacking up nicely, with dense flowers forming at multiple sites. The F1 strain remains compact and uniform, showcasing tight, resin-packed bud sites. • Environmental Stability 🌡️: • We’re maintaining consistent environmental conditions with a room temperature of 30.3°C, water temperature at 18°C, and humidity at 51%. These stable conditions are key to supporting strong bud growth and overall plant health. Switching to 12/12: The Light Adjustment 🌟💡 This week, we made a crucial adjustment to our lighting schedule: • Why the Change? 🌞🌙: • One of our plants hadn’t yet started flowering, so we made the decision to switch all plants to a 12/12 light cycle. This change is essential to trigger flowering in the plant that was lagging, ensuring it joins the rest of the group in producing those beautiful buds. • How 12/12 Helps 🌿💡: • The 12/12 light cycle mimics the natural change in daylight hours as summer transitions to fall, signaling to the plants that it’s time to focus on reproduction (flowering). This shift is a classic technique to ensure all plants in the garden synchronize their flowering process. The reduction in light hours encourages the production of flowering hormones, which will now help the plant that was behind to catch up and start forming buds. • Impact on the Runtz Plants 🌸: • The Runtz strains that were already flowering won’t be negatively affected by this change. In fact, the consistent 12/12 cycle can help to further boost their flowering intensity, ensuring that the buds continue to develop fully and evenly. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 Our focus on proper nutrition and environmental care remains a top priority: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • With the Autopots still running smoothly, we’re continuing with Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The nutrient-rich soil and organic inputs are keeping the plants well-fed, and the consistent hydration is ensuring steady growth and flower development. • Lighting and Environmental Control 🌡️: • The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro continues to provide powerful, full-spectrum light that supports the flowering process. With the 12/12 schedule in place, the plants are receiving the perfect balance of light and dark, critical for flower development. • The TrolMaster Hydro-X controller remains essential in managing these conditions, keeping everything dialed in for optimal plant health. Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we move deeper into flowering, the anticipation only grows. The 12/12 light cycle is now in full effect, ensuring all our plants are flowering together. The Runtz strains are on track to produce a stunning harvest, with each plant showcasing its unique strengths. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green journey. The next few weeks are going to be thrilling as we watch these buds fatten up and reach their full potential! 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week3Flower #CannabisCommunity #FloweringStage #LightCycle #12and12 #GreenMagic #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX #GrowStrong #StayPositive Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #RuntzBattle #KannabiaVsZamnesia #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️ link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

💚💨💨🍀🤝

Got everything moved around & the new carbon filter, fans & lights so hopefully I got better coverage with less power👍🏼 Topped 1 of the Gelato OGs today was getting way taller than the rest we will see how she bounces back! Everything else seems to be going great! Day 22 topped & trimmed them up a bit Day 23 started LST on a few Day 24 started mainline on one of the GZ Day 25 trimmed them a little more today

Just watering now, no more feeds. Lots of leaves dying off but trichomes are still clear. Will wait another week to see what happens. She smells very good indeed.

Day 33 - Removed the First set of leaves. (Single finger leaves) Watered when dry (about 4-5 days between watering now, due to the topping/cloning). Will either need to be watered with nutrients soon, or root pruned + fresh soil.

Moin ihr growmies, ich hatte diese Woche kaum Zeit was zu machen ausser ein wenig lst und Blätter entfernen Bilder hab ich auch kaum Zeit für gehabt bin aber zufrieden mit dem Fortschritt ich denke mal noch so 2 bis 3 Wochen dann stelle ich auf 12/12 um........

On the 50th day, freezing of the leaves was done. it seems that it did not cause stress to the girl, and her leaves were all looking at the light the next day :) The girl drinks a lot, she needs 4.5 liters of water every 4 days, the girl received full nutrition on the 53rd day, the water ppm was 1100:) "strong girl -strong food ":D everything is going very well:) On the 56th day, when I came I saw condensation formed, the humidity showed 85%, I put a dehumidifier in the tent, so everything is fine :) good luck to everyone..Also, the girl received a "MarsHydro vetiliator" as a gift for her amazing growth :D she likes it :) she's happy - I'm happy :).
