Week 6 Veg Report – Runtz We Meet Again! Another week, another step forward in our Eternity Grow Cup 2025 journey, and oh boy, do we have a lot to unpack! These Runtz girls are showing their potential, and we’re dialing in every little detail to ensure they thrive. Let’s dive deep into everything that happened this week! Cal-Mag Deficiency Adjustment – Pheno #5’s Special Needs This week started with a close inspection of our phenos, and we noticed that Pheno #5 was showing early signs of a calcium/magnesium deficiency. Whether it was slightly off VPD levels or this particular plant being more demanding, we decided to correct it by increasing the dose of RO Water Conditioner. Now, while this isn’t a direct substitute for Cal-Mag, it does contain trace amounts that can help stabilize the situation. 🔬 Understanding Cal-Mag Deficiency: Calcium and magnesium are essential secondary nutrients. Calcium strengthens cell walls, preventing issues like tip burn and weak stems, while magnesium plays a critical role in chlorophyll production, allowing plants to efficiently absorb light energy. 💡 Signs of Deficiency: • Yellowing between veins (Magnesium) • Rust spots on leaves (Calcium) • Slow growth and weak stems ⚡ How We Address It: • Slightly increasing RO Water Conditioner to see if trace minerals help • Keeping an eye on overall nutrient uptake to ensure no lockout • Monitoring VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) closely to optimize nutrient absorption Let’s see how she reacts next week! Branching Development – Pheno #2 Leading the Race All five phenos are thriving, but Pheno #2 is showing the most aggressive branching, pushing outward faster than her sisters. However, overall, we’re seeing very uniform growth, which speaks volumes about the stability of these genetics. 🌱 What is Branching & Why It Matters? Branching is the plant’s way of expanding its canopy, increasing surface area for photosynthesis, and maximizing potential bud sites. Well-structured branches allow better airflow, light penetration, and more even growth—key for a successful high-yield harvest. ⚖️ Topping vs. Leaf Bending – The Training Choice Instead of topping, I’ve decided to go with leaf bending for now. This method allows for gentle manipulation of the plant’s growth without causing major stress. Once we introduce the SCROG (Screen of Green) net, this training will help maximize the canopy spread. Moving to the TrolMaster Ecosystem – A Game Changer Big move this week—our Runtz girls officially transitioned into the TrolMaster Ecosystem, and let me tell you, they are absolutely loving it! Under the ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs, they’re thriving, leaves praying upward, soaking in that optimized spectrum. 💡 ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs – Why They Work • PPFD of ~400 µmol/m²/s at their level, running only on Channel One • Full-spectrum lighting tailored for optimal vegetative growth • Passive cooling design, keeping temps stable while saving energy Environmental Conditions (Measured on the TrolMaster Tent-X and the AMP-3) • Temp Max: 26.6°C | Min: 16.2°C • RH Max: 77% | Min: 52% • VPD Max: 1.65 kPa | Min: 0.43 kPa • Solution pH: 5.8 • EC: 0.96 • Water Temp: 16.3°C Why These Numbers Matter: • Keeping VPD in check ensures efficient nutrient uptake • pH and EC levels fine-tuned for maximum root absorption • Water temp stable to avoid root shock and slow growth Autopot System Prep – Getting Ready for the Next Phase The week wraps up with us cleaning and preparing the Autopots for their next phase. These self-watering systems will allow the Runtz girls to access water and nutrients at their own pace, optimizing growth as we head into pre-flower soon!

Lovely big chunky lady. 80ccm across colas that are thick as a babies arm.. and a delightfully zesty sweet smell when she wobbles in the breeze. My queen this run for sure. Such an imposing girl... Feeds are down to 1.6ec as I remove the more pk from her diet. She just gets greenbuzz nutrients organic bloom for the duration now. Lights are at 60% giving 1100umols average across the canopy. Just a pleasure to grow.. Thanks for passing. Grow well 🌿💚🌿🙏🏼

Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings. Lights are on an 18/6 schedule on most days. Unless stated otherwise. 📏: AK1: 22 in (55.88 cm), AK2: 26 in (66.04 cm), North: 17 in (43.18 cm) Quick Notes: At the beginning of the week I was tending to the AKs deficiencies, all plants received a lot of extra nutrients this week. I think it was related to being underfed or underwater. Midway through the week, they started to recover and grow taller. North is on the verge of flowering. I also lollipopped all plants to try and clear the lower region so it's easy to water and so the plants can focus growth on the important parts. Overall the AKs have been drinking up a storm (watering almost every day at this point), I'm trying to keep an eye out for overfeeding. I'm feeding every watering for now until I see issues pop up, then I'll slow down. Next week may be the week I start flower (guessing since these are autos). Day 42 (Jul 8) - Plants look the same as yesterday pretty much, AK1 & AK2 are doing less of the 'preparation droop'. The major yellow leaves are starting to crust off and it seems like the mid/upper leaves are not getting paler / translucent. Watering with a lot of Nutrients this morning. 💧: Tap: x pH (Forgot to measure tap) Adjusted with Concentrated Lemon Juice AK1: 1 liter (5.7 pH, 2.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) AK2: 1 liter (6.1 pH, 2.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) North: 1 liter (5.6 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) 💦: 41% (36-58) - 🌡️: 28C (25-34) Day 43 - Lights out overnight, starting 7 hrs from 130am. Lights on, AL1 & AK2 perky, surprised AK2 is perky. The yellowing seems to have slowed on both plants. AK2 developed salty spots on random leaves. *AK2 grew 4 inches in 2 days. 💦: 52% (36-65) - 🌡️: 28C (23-31) Day 44 - Lights 24 hours. Watering in the morning, pots are light and the soil is pretty dry. Giving a little less Nitrogen / Micro and more Bloom to North since she's clearly showing some white pistols (and it doesn't seem to be suffering from the same things as the AK's). 💧: Tap: 8.15 pH Adjusted with pH Down AK1: 1.5 liter (6.1 pH, 2.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) AK2: 1.5 liter (5.8 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) North: 1.5 liter (6 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 💦: 41% (35-65) - 🌡️: 31C (23-31) Day 45 - Soil pretty dry, a little damp ¾ inch below surface. Got 3-in-1 pH / Light / Moisture reader in mail, pH is reading pretty alkaline soil (need to investigate, not sure if accurate). 💧: Tap: 7.10 pH Adjusted with pH Down AK1: 1.5 liter (7? pH [forgot to record the exact amount], 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) AK2: 1.5 liter (6.15 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 1.5 ml CalMag) North: 1.5 liter (6.15 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag) 💦: x% (34-37) - 🌡️: xC (28-30) Day 46 - Lights off overnight (9 hrs), with exhaust fan on so watered pots don't humidity tent. Plants look relatively fine, North's bud sites are developing (think I see 2 new sites). Placed Oscillating fan in tent for more circulation, average temps decreased overall. 💦: 62% (34-34) - 🌡️: 24C (23-31) Day 47 - Lights off overnight (~9 hrs). Spent some time Lolipopping the plants, then watered. *North soil wasn't completely dry yet. 💧: Tap: 7.30 pH Adjusted with pH Down AK1: 1.5 liter (5.9 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 875 PPM AK2: 1.5 liter (5.75 pH, 2 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 1050 PPM North: 1.5 liter (6? pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 2 ml Voodoo Juice) 💦: 54% (40-64) - 🌡️: 27C (23-29) Day 48 (Jul 14) - Lights dimmed overnight. Not watering North since the soil is still moister than the AKs. AK soils are not completely dry. All plants are beginning to flower, especially North so I'm lowering FloraMicro for now to see the response and upping FloraBloom. 💧: Tap: 7.60 pH Not adjusted AK1: 1 liter (6.2 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) ~1200 PPM AK2: 1 liter (6.2 pH, 1.5 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 2 ml FloraBloom, 2 ml CalMag, 1.5 ml Voodoo Juice) 💦: 72% (41-74) - 🌡️: 25C (24-30)

Week 5 – Beast Mode & The Big Flip! This week I set up a timelapse to capture just how vigorous these ladies really are — and it didn’t disappoint! 🌱 The tallest Lemon Cherry Runtz even surpassed the Papaytons, though to be fair she’s sitting right in the sweet spot in the center of the tent. I also bumped up the light a bit, and the response was instant. Big thanks to SANlight, AC Infinity, and Autopots for keeping this jungle happy. Some of the girls figured out that there’s basically an endless water source waiting under their pots, and in search of it they threw down insane root systems. You can tell they went into full-on beast mode. This time I’ve been home for almost a month straight, so I could keep a daily eye on the propagation tent. It paid off: the first clones of all four strains rooted within 6–10 days! They’ll be kept safe until we find out which phenos are the real winners. Before flipping them to 12/12 on 19.08, I pulled each cultivar out, gave them a clean topping, and prepped them for flower. Since they were so big already, I skipped cloning the tops and went for side branches instead — they root faster, which is crucial in summer when cloning isn’t the easiest game in my setup.-äpl-.lp0üß0 Meanwhile, the moms I sent to the flower tent are already flashing their first pistils — can’t wait to show you how those develop. The rest will have to stay in the 4x3 for now until the flower run is done in 3–4 weeks, so I went hard on them: lollipopped, defoliated, topped — the works. For now, the goal is to keep them compact and healthy until it’s their time to shine. The real fun is just beginning… stay tuned for flower! 🔥💚

Hi Growmies, This girls are just amazing, they are growing beautifully and from this week asking for more food, there leaf structure is typical hybrid, they are beautiful in all ways.🌞🌱 Last week’s under watering shows some phosphorus deficiency in one lady so we will take more care of her from now. Watering in every third day with 3 litres each. Running the light on 100% brightness. Just rearranged them under the scrog net and while doing all this i got full sticky all over me from fingers to arm so can’t complain about resin production haha.👨‍🌾🏻 There sweet and herbal smell with pungent funkiness is lovely and it will just increase for sure in the next week and I can’t wait. Vpd:1,26-1,39kpa Par: 780-1070ppfd Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely week fellow gardeners!🍪😎 Peace ✌️🏻

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

A esta pequeña Gorilla glue no le queda casi nada para ser cortada. Crece realmente sana y fuerte 💪💚 Vamos a mantener los nutrientes 1 semana mas para ver lo que se desarrollan las puntas y lo que engordan los cogollos para dejarle paso al lavado de raices y empezar a preparar la planta para su corte y secado 😊 Tengo muchas ganas de probar de nuevo esta variedad, en este caso de Weedseedsexpress que no he tenido el lujo de probar 😋

Welcome to week 9 of my grow diary. In the middle of the week, I decided to pull the four main shoots apart using plant wire and binder clips, as the side shoots in the middle weren't getting enough light. Fortunately I couldn't find any more mildew. The weather continues to be great. See you next week!
