🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because time… it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place — a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. 🌿 The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup — a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation — light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, they’re hanging and drying — and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle — nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it — giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. It’s not just dirt — it’s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. It’s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

🌱 Woche - Week 8 Review (Umtopfen in den Garten)(Repotting in the garden) 📈 Wachstum: Diese Woche der große Umzug – die Pflanze wurde in den Garten verpflanzt 🌱➡️🏡. Sie hat dort mehr Platz für die Wurzeln. Wächst etwas schräg, wirkt aber stabil und vital 💪. 💡 Licht & Energie: Volle Sonne wird sehr gut angenommen ☀️, keinerlei Stress sichtbar. 🌿 Blattgesundheit: Nach kurzer Eingewöhnung zeigt sie wieder volle Kraft. 💧 Wasser & Nährstoffe: Direkt nach dem Umpflanzen mehr Wasser benötigt, jetzt wieder im Gleichgewicht. 🔄 Entwicklung: Noch volle Wachstumsphase, jetzt mit mehr Raum zur Entfaltung. ℹ️ Hinweis: Normalerweise ist eine Gorilla Zkittlez Auto nach etwa 75 Tagen fertig. Bei mir dauert es wohl länger – aber das ist völlig okay, da es meine allererste Pflanze überhaupt ist 🌱. Keine Growbox, kein Indoor, einfach draußen – mein erstes richtiges Grow-Erlebnis. ✅ Fazit: Erfolgreich im Garten angekommen, bereit für die nächste Phase 🚀. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📏 Growth: Big step this week – transplanted into the garden 🌱➡️🏡. More space for the roots now. Growing a bit tilted, but still strong and healthy 💪. 💡 Light & Energy: Full sun is well received ☀️, no stress signs. 🌿 Leaf Health: After a short adjustment, vitality came back. 💧 Water & Nutrients: Needed extra water right after transplant, now balanced again. 🔄 Development: Still in full vegetative growth, with more space to expand. ℹ️ Note: Normally a Gorilla Zkittlez Auto finishes in about 75 days. For me, it will probably take longer – but that’s fine, since this is my very first plant ever 🌱. No grow box, no indoor, just outside – my first real grow experience. ✅ Overall: Successfully settled in the garden, ready for the next stage 🚀.

Day 70 (Day F26): streching has started

Mandarin XL auto has snapped out of the heavy nutrition mutation. She is making grow progress. Things are going in the right direction. 🤞🏻it keeps going smooth.

Hola cultivadores. Se acerca la víspera de año nuevo, y con ello, la llegada de la floración. El día 12/27 observé las plantas y se aprecian diminutos pelos blancos, no están presentes en todas las ramas. Pero es suficiente para comenzar la fertilización con productos de floración. Escogí Bio-Bloom de BioBizz en su dosis media para que se adapte poco a poco al cambio de alimento, reduciendo igualmente el Fish-Mix a la mitad. Se mantuvo el Acti-Vera y el Alg-A-Mic en su misma dosis. Ya la planta alcanzó los 68 cm, esperemos crezca y engruese sus ramas porque igualmente están delgadas para soportar el peso de los cogollos.

Día 37 (08/07) Ajustes de LST en todas las plantas! 🚀 Día 38 (09/07) Ajustes de LST en todas las plantas. Las ramas inferiores están creciendo como un cohete! 🚀😍 Riego con 250 ml H2O pH 6,5 Día 39 (10/07) Las plantas se muestran sedientas! Creo que el cepellón está lleno de raíces y piden el trasplante! El crecimiento no se ha visto afectado de momento Riego con 500 ml H20 pH 6,5 Día 40 (11/07) Paso a regar con 500 ml / día, ya que hace mucho calor (30 ºC) y efectivamente las plantas ya han copado la maceta de raíces OnionOG y KS1: Las ramas de nodo inferior se han quedado enanas tras el entrenamiento, de modo que las elimino y aplico canela en polvo en los cortes Riego con 500 ml H20 pH 6,5 Día 41 (12/07) Riego con 500 ml H20 pH 6,5 Clones! Mi experimento vuelve a demostrar que NO necesitas complejos productos de clonación ni sistemas para obtener clones! Hace 15 días puse 2 clones con el tallo sumergido en miel durante 5 minutos en una maceta de 400 ml con PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE He mantenido la humedad alta con una cúpula de humedad casera hecha con una botella de agua PET de 5 litros cortada por la mitad y pulverizando a diario. Han estado los 15 días en mi terraza con luz indirecta, y temperaturas que rondan los 30 - 32ºC durante las horas centrales del día Hoy los he trasplantado a una maceta de 1 litro porque ya habían formado raíces y empezaban a formar nuevas hojas! 🐥🐥🚀🐥🐥 Día 42 (13/07) Riego con 500 ml H20 pH 6,5 Día 43 (14/07) Trasplante a maceta definitiva de 21 litros de ROOTPLUS Pot de GSKOREA GLOBAL! Estas macetas son una maravilla! Proceso de trasplante: Se prepara con 17,85 Litros (85%) de sustrato PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS+MYCORRHIZAE + 1,05 Litros de Humus de Lombriz (5%) + 2,01 Litros de Insect Frass (10%) + 210 gramos de Earth Vibes Super Soil (10 g/L substrato) Se llena la maceta de sustrato con las manos (limpias) y rompiendo los trozos más gruesos, para que el sustrato esté aireado y esponjoso, sin presionar Se coloca una maceta vacía de 6,5L para que quede la forma perfecta de la maceta donde están actualmente Se espolvorea la parte proporcional de la probeta de microorganismos sobre el agujero de trasplante Se saca la planta de su maceta actual (bonitas raíces 😍) y se coloca en la maceta final Se riega muy lentamente hasta percolación profunda con H2O EC 0,5 pH 6,5 Una vez asentada, complemento con un riego de 500 ml con 25 ml/L de Humus de Lombriz Liquido Se coloca mulch (acolchado) de paja para evitar traspiración excesiva y cuidar a los microorganismos del suelo A ver como reacciona al trasplante! Aplicación foliar Kelp hidrolizado de Lurpe Solutions a 0.25 ml/l Realizo ajustes de LST aprovechando el trasplante a la nueva maceta. De momento tienen una canopia muy bien formada! 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Loved the whole grow, the plant was growing a loooot every day, smelling wonderful, love the weed she gave me, thank you @Seedstockers!! 🧡 😘 Thank you for having witnessed the career of Terp&Tonic Auto! 💚 💨 Genetics: (Freakum Zkittlez X Ghost Tonic) X Panty Punch Auto Love this one! 😍 Smells like Bitter Lemon.. and look at her go!! 🚀 Thanks @SeedstockersOfficial for trusting me with this!! 🙏 ❤️ I already love the Terp&Tonic Auto! Everybody please if you like, check out the other Seedstockers new variety of my current grow here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/178022-grow-journal-by-slowpokefuegobud Thanks Aptus Holland for providing me with those badass nutrients! 💚 🥦 ____________________________________________________ Strain description: When we decided to cross two genetics as attractive as Freakum Zkittlez and Ghost Tonic to create our Terp & Tonic, we knew that the culmination of our work would be to provide this stunner with the autoflowering genes of the flawless Panty Punch Auto, so that she could be available to all growers. Mission accomplished! This plant produces buds with a surprisingly refreshing aroma of summer citrus fruits, whilst the flavour of her smoke maintains that mix of lemonade and strawberries that will make you lick your lips non-stop. And if we add to this a happy and stimulating effect that takes you to a world of fantasy, then we can say that this strain is the perfect companion for those wanting to feel active and creative. You can get all of this in a plant that can grow as tall as 1.5 m thanks to her 60% sativa dominance, rewarding you with up to 800 grams of buds which will be ready for you to sink your teeth into after only 65 days. Could you ask for more? Yes, another round of Terp & Tonic Auto, please! ___________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius Medic Grow MINI SUN-2 240W Full Spectrum LED Built-in Timer LCD Display high PPFD of 2300μmol/m2/s @ 6 ’’ in height, efficacy is up to 2.8μmol/J, and PPF is up to 672μmol/s built in controller with timer and dimmer www.medicgrow.com Nutrients by Aptus Holland https://aptus-holland.com/ Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25

This week she got the works.😎👍 going for max buds. Had to put sand in so i could kill of the little black fly's that lived in her soil...and the soil of the other plants. Got rid of them for 80%! I water her from the bottom now. The sand gives it a nice looking pot😎👍. This week will LST the tops too. Going for big!😉😎 9/5/21 : new LST for the queen.😎👍

The weeks continue to progress smoothly. They are beginning to show the "fall fading" on the fan leaves. I have been feeding them 3 liters a piece, 1nute/2plain ph'd to 6.6 watering cycle.

6/7: Topped off buckets and adjusted pH to 6.2 6/8: Topped off buckets and adjusted pH to 6.2 6/9: Light top defoliation of the canopy, topped off buckets and adjusted pH to 6.2. 6/10: Topped off buckets and adjusted pH to 6.2 6/11: Lollipop undergrowth, Topped off buckets and adjusted pH to 6.2 6/12: Topped off buckets and adjusted pH to 6.2 6/13: New DWC Buckets, adjusted pH to 6.2

What a difference mainlining makes. I broke a branch with the first mainline, but decided to continue the grow. She's a full 30" shorter than the Durban Poison that I started on the same day. I decided to do LST and she is respectable - and will have several massive cola's. We'll see how she turns out in the end. Monsoon finally hits! Temps have dropped below the 110 mark low 100's! This grow will likely last > 30 weeks. Since GD only supports 30 weeks of diaries, this "week" will actually last two weeks.

Harvest was quick and painless!) At this point, the plant hangs upside down and dries slowly.

🎩🌈🍬⛽️💎🏁✂️

I mean this genetics it's excellent ... if I would grow zombie kush again ... good job ripper seed ... she fought and was very strong against the plagues after a beginning outdoors ... she fought against the white fly. worms .. red spider and other insects ... and deserves your recognition ... it will not be the most beautiful plant with its leaves impeccable ... but she is a champion ... thank you ripper seed .. .

This girl is done. Getting the chop tonite. Been so much damn fun. Bathroom photo shoot turned out great. Very happy with this girl. Gonna be sad to chop her down.
