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 !

Rinnoverò anche tutti i nutrienti con la fase vegetativa e loro continueranno a crescere fino a che iniziamo a vedere i prefiori e cui di ricambierò l'acqua con la soluzione e adatta, al momento tutto apposto! Venerdì 18 ottobre 2024 Svuoto la vasca, cambio soluzione. Partiamo da 75 lt acqua demineralizzata ec 235 ph 9.5 Aggiungo tutti I nutrienti indicati ottenendo ec 1318 ph 6.2

Flowering, powering. Scatch an itch with loofah whilst im showering. Peanut butter sandwich washed with milk and im out again, no pleats on these slacks, a swell cardigan

Ended up with 13.5 oz wet so I’m expecting 5-6 oz dry which would be awesome! I actually snapped the main stem during LST and I taped it back together, it healed and ended up being my biggest cola!

12/4/26.day 66 after shedding the shell.harvest day.it's fastest strain from my practice

Start of week 5. Week 4 went well, bud site development is going great, she's gaining size and weight, the smell is starting to stand out and she's very sticky.

10/24/2022: plants are all healthy. Strawberry Gushers is definitely starting to flower and the Newberry is showing signs of preflower. My little guy Orange Bubblegum is still growing slowly and no signs of flower yet. The Orange Bubblegum still looks healthy, she just grows really slow. Not showing signs of any deficiencies, or over or under watering, so I think it may just be the plant. Since the other two plants are starting to flower, I top dressed with 1/3 cup Gnarly barley, 1/3 cup Craft Blend from BuildASoil, along with about 2 cups(didn't really measure, just scooped a few handfulls) of BuildAFlower. Also added a handful of bokashi on top of that. I then lightly watered the two top dressed plants, since they both received a full watering yesterday. Still doing some light LST and minor defoliation. 10/26/2022: made avtea today using TeaCo Super tea blend. Gave about 1.75 liters to the Strawberry Gushers and Newberry, since they are both starting their stretch. Gave about 1 liter to the Orange Bubblegum, since it is still the smallest. It seems to be about a week behind the other 2 plants even though they were all germinated and planted on the same days. Also raised the lite slightly, since the bigger plants were getting a little more ppfd than I wanted, but i also inceased the intensity of the light to about 80%. Been increasing by a few percent a day and plan to max it at 100% once the final plant starts to flower. The average ppfd is about 600, which is a DLI of about 40. 10/28/2022: watered about 1.5 liters per plant. This time I added Rootwise Bio-Phos, now that 2 out of the 3 plants are in flower. Also, top dressed the Orange Bubblegum. I snapped a branch on the Newberry when trying to super crop a few of the taller branches. Also noticed the Newberry was looking a little droopy today. Not sure if it was a water issue or if I turned up the light too much. I'll monitor to see how it looks later, now that I watered and raised the light a few more inches. Wanted to have a scrog net in by now, but I'm waiting for some 4 way PVC connectors so I can finish building a frame. Always just tied to the tent poles previous grows, but I wanted to try something new. 10/30/2022: watered 2 liters for the Strawberry Gushers and Newberry and 1.5 liters for the Orange Bubblegum. Added BuildASoil Coconut Powder, along with the Rootwise Bio-Phos and ThermX-70. Installed the scrog net as well. It's a little high right now, but I'm hoping the plants will grow into it. I can cut the PVC pipes shorter if I need to. Avg. VPD:1.1 PPFD: 600 DLI: 40

Buds are forming well. Trichomes are also developing.

Harvested Girl Scout cookies auto from Fast Buds! Very satisfied with result: 200gr. dry buds!. Thank You Fast Buds for consistently such a strong genetics!

Still only feeding water, I put them into 4ltr pots so they won't want food for a few weeks, flipped to 12/12 on day 35

Probably 2-3 weeks left, giving them nutrients almost every watering. They started to smell really nice, very frutiy. Hopefully this lasts after curing (:

She's growing but never really been happy, droopy and colour is off. Started from day 1, pistils are appearing, stem rub actually smells fantastic 🤣 UPDATE-Day 24 she is looking alot better, watered in with microben terra actus and no shit hours later shes perky for the first time in weeks. I am now happy with both plants 🙏 🤲 Day 24 she received some bloom amendments (2-8-10) applied via top dressing. Update Day 26, shes a little dumpy one but shes filling out, waiting for the stretch.

09/24: Some training and defoliation today. They are all growing very differently. I heard somewhere that there is only a 1 and 4 chance of these being the level of purple that you see in the pictures on the website. Im really hoping that one of these are and that the fact that all 4 of these are so different is some small indicator of my chance being high. They are growing pretty well. They have access to all of the nutrients and water that they want. My favorite plant is PL2. She has been easy to train and i am loving her compact and consistent growth patters. Im really hoping she turns out to be a purple one. Each of the other 3 have been a challenge to train simply for my own error and them not being very resistant of it. I know, I know, I sound like a rookie blaming the pants for my poor training. But i definitely appreciate the plants that seem to respond to my aggression well. Speaking of my errors, the plant that I broke a large branch from has recovered. Well.. kinda. It healed up but not cleaning, and so i am not sure how well it will support itself during flower. But o am not going to mess with it and will see what happens with it.

Mendo Frost is stacking beautifully and continues to impress with her structure. The buds are developing nicely across all branches, while the trichome production is ramping up fast, giving the entire plant a heavy frosted look already. Pistils are still mostly white, suggesting there’s plenty of time left for swelling and maturation. Overall, she’s looking very healthy and seems set up for a strong finish.

After finding a couple of unseen spots of mold while chopping I meticulously went through every single crevice of each nug from both plants and removed the few spots I found, this took about 10 hours straight (not including light trim and wash). Absolutely stoked with the results of this grow and so proud to have gotten both these girls all the way to the finish line!

Y Griega and Gelato Ice Cream are approximately 2 weeks ahead of the rest of the plants in flowering. Adding 1 teaspoon of Blackstrap Molasses every watering and fertilizer every other watering.

This is the Strawberry 🍓 Cola Sherbet from @Sweetseeds.com that I put in the same fabric pot ,as the last one ,I shocked , so this one has been on 12/12 since her first breath , and for a 5 wk old plant/f1 it is surely showing its vigorous growth and diversity in light hours from seed ,suits a lot of growers ,especially now a days wanting to try more flavours in shorter time frames are in demand and with quality seeds there very little f&ck ups too 😀 @Sweetseeds, i do recommend ,Highly 👌💯

🌱Day 30. Flower start showing some nutrients deficiency. I will drop down ph level and have a look how it is work.💚 🌱Day 32.💚 🌱Day 34.💚
