🌸 Eternity Cup • Week 4 Flower • Runtz Phenos 1 to 5 Welcome back to the garden, my dear growers! This week, we enter Week 4 of Flower, and the energy is shifting — it’s subtle, like a foggy winter morning where everything is still, but alive with quiet anticipation. Our beloved Runtz girls — phenos 1 through 5 — are beginning to reveal themselves fully, forming those early floral structures (the “ears,” you know the ones 🌱💚), and each one is expressing her beauty in unique, yet strikingly similar ways. This kind of uniformity only proves how stable and powerful these Zamnesia genetics truly are. They are fulfilling the scrog like queens — compact, bushy, and ready for the next phase. This week, I noticed a slight decoloration in the leaves — just a whisper of pale green — and it felt like the perfect moment to adjust the feeding to bring out that lush vibrancy again. We’re now running the following dosages in our reservoir: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • System Clean: 0.25 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-In-One Liquid: 2 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation: 1 ml/L This blend brings us to an EC of 2.225 and a pH of 6.07 — right in the sweet spot. Let’s see these ladies rise up and glow 🌞 Since it’s been a little cold — temps started the week around 16°C and are now slowly climbing up to 23°C, with a humidity of about 50%, this gives us a VPD of around 1.50, which is still looking great considering the lower ambient conditions. CO₂ is sitting at 1000+ ppm, and light intensity is cruising around 550-600 PPFD, which we’ll increase in the coming weeks to match their needs as they bloom. The Autopots keep our medium at 53% moist like clockwork, but I’ve added a water heater to the reservoir — aiming to gently raise soil temperature by warming the solution. That 16°C in the substrate wasn’t doing us any favors, so let’s bring the roots a little cozy love. Everything we do, we do with intention and care. Visually, this week feels like a quiet fog has settled — like watching the garden through a soft lens. The atmosphere is calm, with the girls standing strong and steady under the ICL 300s and the Model Ones, which are doing a phenomenal job creating the perfect stage for this show. Let’s take a moment to thank this beautiful community — the lovers, the learners, the OGs, the curious ones just passing by — your presence means everything 💚 Massive gratitude to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, Zamnesia, Plagron and to Grow Diaries for hosting this Eternity Grow Cup. And of course, deepest thanks to all the sponsors making this magic possible: Aptus Holland, Grove Bags, TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LEDs, Promix, Cannakan, FOG and Ziggy Papers — your support grows more than plants, it grows stories, friendships, and futures. P.S. Before we wrap it up for the week, I just wanted to add a note about one of the biggest tasks we tackled — the defoliation. It was time. The girls had grown into a dense jungle of love and leaf, and it was clear they needed more room to breathe. More airflow, more light. More photons reaching deep into their hearts. That’s what we aim for. So, leaf by leaf, gently, carefully — with respect for each one — I went in. Four, maybe five hours of focused silence (with my jam on the back ground), removing what needed to be removed. It was a lot. And as I moved through them, it became clear: the Scrog net, too, had done its part. But now? It was just in the way. These girls are so compact, so thick, so full of presence and power — they can hold themselves. So, I took the bold move. I freed them. No more net. Just them, as they are, open to the light and thriving on their own terms. It was a beautiful moment — one I wanted to share with you here, just quietly, before we say goodbye for now. 🌬️ Until next week — stay warm, stay growing, and let the fog roll gently through your garden.

👉With each day it grows a noticeable amount. Its staying short and the leaves are actually touching the media on the lower set. Its actually on its 3rd node, and i will probably top it on the 4rth. I lowered the light from 36 to 24". This week i will lower it again to 18". The plant is short but its growth is still vigorous enough. under the leaves there is vegitation emerging as well. I like the fact that its staying short, I will probably need every inch of of my tent so the longer its stays short and grows like a bush, the better. 👉Im doing the week 3 nutrient schedule for another week because week 3 is the highest levels of grow nutrient. My EC target is 1.7 and is near the high end of the recommended range. I usually start with 2 gallons and then mix and pH the batch. If the EC is high I then ad pHd/calmag/ArmorSI water to lower the EC to the desired range. Im feeding 1 liter of nutrient solution and the runoff is an average of .6l. I give this 2x a day. The EC is slowly creeps up over 3-4 days and when it gets to 25 to 30+ EC I use a liter of rinse solution before the next fertigation. the rinse solution is same water source as the nutrient mix, (RO water at 5 micro-Siemens from a medical grade RO unit) with Armor SI and Calmag pH's to 5.9. The machine isnt at my house so I mule the water in 6 gallon water carriers. Eventually the plant will be big enough that more solution is needed at each feeding. During the Critical Purple and Hindu grows, the EC would actually never guild up because the plants were absorbing a lot of the nutrients. I will gauge the needed inflow volume of nutrient solution by the amount of run-off. Currently 1 liter is what I determined is the minimum needed to keep the coco wet and buffered. As the plant absorbs more water the drain off will decrease. I will target 20-30% run-off from inflow volume. EC value also determines inflow volume but to save on mixed nutrients I like to precede a feeding with the rinse solution if the EC is too high. 👉I disinfect the water jugs 1 time a week with 1% bleach. I disinfect my nutrient solution dispensing jugs at each batch mixing. My watering can and measuring vessel, I rinse with the H2O2 spray at each use. 👉To help keep the grow clean I have a 1 gallon garden sprayer filled with water and 60ml of H2O2. The recipe is usually just 30ml/gallon, but I wanted it a little stronger. I spray the exterior of my cloth pot once a week to rinse of the build up nutrients and prevent mold, mildew and green fungus. I also use the spray to disinfect the drain trays as I swap them out after a feeding. I have a couple dozen white wash cloths that I use to help clean and dry things. I use fresh wash cloth each day, and keep everything as clean as possible.

Flower Week 9 Day 69 to 71 - 5/20 to 5/22 After a few extra days of dryout I chopped. I decided to wet trim while still on the stems. Lots of rain lately, and the drying process was a challenge but I overcame with fans around the hangers and more dry time. I dried until I could snap a test branch. Then I trimmed off the buds and placed in humidity controlled bags with hydrometers.

I’ve got some curling going on. Have been trying to get temp humidity stable so I got a humidity controller and now run lights on timer 6 hrs off. Also my humidity gauge I used to set in the middle of the tent but I now put directly in the pot behind the plant and different readings. It’s one of those cheap humidity temp gauges that comes with led lights. Just need to get this curling thing down. 1 of the plants shows no curl so maybe it’s the fox farm soil is too hot. Or maybe that 1plant got better plant coverage, I’ve since adjusted the fan and may get another one.

This is actually week 1 of flower I don't count the 2 week transition stage

Just starting the 3rd week, I’m at 1/2 strength on the nutrients, will be changing water and nutrients every Saturday. Looking good. Roots coming thru. So far so good coming into second weekend of clean water and more food on Saturday. Really starting to get full. 8/18 Fresh water and nutrients today and both topped. Finishing out the 3rd week all topped and ready to bush out.

Day 2 in the pots they came out beautifully with their seed as a hat! Day 4 they were all 3 1cm out of the ground, they were born! Day 6 is almost over today and 2/3 seeds go delicious. Both of them already have their first set of real leaves and you can see the next set coming, oewhhh. Unfortunately there is one that I think is less gene/old seed. It sits around half the height and the lobs are almost closed, but hopefully it is still hard 💪 🏼

Day 42/56+: Wooooohooo these girls are doing great. The smells and look a in the room are hypnotic now. Seeing all of those fat, chunky heads bobbing around in the vortex that my Big Bertha fan pushes out is a joy. They are taking around 10L to get to a run off , every 3 days or so in the L.O.S FFT#1 is creating some nice long shaggy looking colas that smell nice and sickly sweet now. She is looking like she is ready to swell now too. hopefully the next 2 weeks will show the colas to be the chunks they want to be. she is a squat lady and would def have been better to have been left to grow taller. . In a very limited space/ box , trained more horizontal as she is now and you could have a very productive bonsai style grower. FFT#5 wow I love this girl. She is a full on show off now. She is pushing her terpines up my nose from just going above her now. If I venture to actually touch her buds , she becomes so excited that she doesnt want to let me go again. so tacky. she isnstartimgntomcplour her pistils little but is still looking fresh and bountiful. Her structure has been easy to work with in veg but is now so thick and woody that any bending her to my will would involve a team of us. lol FFT#7 Plods on with her domineering attitude to her space and is so productive now . her buds are not as long at this point as the #5 but are so many in number that her yield should be a good one. I would say she is probably going to go for longer than the other 2 testers before finishing but she is certainly worth the wait. Her smell is so fruit sweet now too. she has the biggest stem popping out of the soil and is a very thick structures girl. I would love to see her grown outside in a natural environment and think she would be a monstrous outdoor plant. Definitely the quickest grower for height even though she is tied down tighter than an insane monk. I will definately be producing more of these girls to play with their development potential and feel that you would have to make sure that you have the room for one of these to get her best out of her. so far these new strains are a winner for me. I am looking forward to going through the rest of the strains now. I plan 3 more in the next run so will scour the current tester grows for the likely victims to do next. These are winners already

Still no nutrients! What a week! A lot of growth and the leaves get bigger and bigger. I broke the main stem on the top so topped that part because the infection will be bigger than the cut. Just put the leaves a little bit down to give space to the lower flowers.

So, with the harvest complete and the dry finished, the rest is now going into jars for the final cure and storage. Overall I enjoyed this grow, it needed minimal interventions and had a smaller work load compared to the other grows. The amount of dried flowers is 752g (1.11gpw) so a decent haul, I threw a lot of B grade buds in the hash bag due to the large number of low level flowering sites (I need to rethink my canopy management) and also with the lack of stretch after flipping made the internodal spacing a bit too tight. Managed to extract 215g of grade a hash from her as well which I have pressed into a slab (pictures). I learned many things along the way, namely root health and the importance of keeping organic additions as low as possible. I also decided to try out clones for my next run, just to get a little more canopy and growth consistency - those of which are in an aeroponics tub at the moment waiting to root (picture). Thanks for those of you who followed along most of the way, good luck with all your grows!

No more fertilization. They will be harvested in 2 weeks very stinky ones.... Alll good just keep flushing them and removing upcoming yellow leaves. :) They are quote wet so just giving them 200ml.of water a day to.not to over water them.

End of week 12 - Day 90 Flower - Day 52 The girls continue to pack on bud weight. I started to open up the buds to let light penetrate some of the side colas. The buds are average 2 inches thick per cola and really packing on some resin. Trichcomes are getting cloudy but no signs of amber yet. Another week or so.

Dégoûté !!

*Vam Doesnt seem to increase root size. Looked identical to no Van control. *increased PPM To 350 *Transplanted to 1Gallon pots using HappyFrog

A Day 20 end of week ready for first topping. Start Rhinoskin/Sensizym from next week or next irrigation

Hey Guys ! 😁 Buds are coming ! We are in the last week of feeding, next week, I will start flushing for about 10 Days before the Harvest. This week was quiet, the plant ate a lot : EC in at 1.8 out at 1.4 > 2 times per days. This week I will increase the EC at 2.0 to finish her. She beginning to smell good and to make tricomes ! There is only one thing : I got 3/4 branches that seems to be less developped than the rest of the plant > Light reflection problem ?? See you soon, keep growing !🕉️

Flower day 22 So week 3 is done, looking not to bad at all Next week iam going for the final topdress from greenhousefeeding I think the strech is almost done now & they can fully focus on growing Big buds :) 22-27 *C 50-60% RL

Week 9: Growth, Clones, and Preparing for Buds This week brought some important changes to the grow! The plants stretched significantly, taking advantage of the rainy weather, despite the temperature fluctuations. Overall, the conditions are supporting their development well. Notes: I made a few more clones, and so far, all of them are thriving. It's exciting to see a 100% survival rate for the clones so far. Out of the 12 plants, I identified three males. Two of them have started opening their pollen sacs, and I’ve begun collecting. The pollen is being stored in the freezer for future breeding projects. I did a light defoliation to improve light penetration to the lower branches, which should help promote even growth.
