🌾 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.

First week of Veg is done after the propagator tent. Clones looking good so far - getting healthy again. Startet LST.

06.03. F46 Day 46 of flower and everything is moving forward exactly as planned. The powdery mildew situation is significantly more under control compared to previous grows. It hasn’t disappeared completely, but the difference is huge. At this stage of flowering it’s absolutely manageable and no longer something that worries me. Humidity is staying consistently between 47–53%, which helps keep the situation stable. Aside from that, the plants are simply impressive. The buds continue to develop beautifully and the overall health of the canopy remains excellent. It’s one of those moments where you just stand in front of the tent and admire what’s growing in there. More and more it becomes clear that this genetic line is something special. Every day the plants show more character and quality. This run continues to be an absolute pleasure to watch. 🌿🔥.

Hey everyone at week 4 know and wow have these girls grown early this week I applied some LST and all took really well to say it was my first time trying this

Day 35 of the 12/12 light cycle, flowering 4 plants. Organic LivingSoil. Going slow on the defoliation. 1)24K Gold 2) 24K Gold Clone 3) Unknow Kush III 4) Unknow Kush IV Begginer on KNF and JADAM agriculture methods.

La poderosa runtz forbidden sta per arrivare a maturazione.. ancora un paio di settimane più o meno e ci siamo...forse la lascio anche qualche giorno in più per farle creare un po' più di: CBN😜💪👍

Aquí seguimos una semana más con la pequeña banana!! ,Selección de nuestro compañero kanijo. Todo avanza en un buen equilibrio. Anda rodeada de sativas pero no es ningún problema para ella ya que no puede competir en altura pero si en espacio. Le guiaré las ramas laterales entre los bambús de amnesia haze y bajaré un poco más la lámpara que está ubicada en su posición para que la altura de las amnesia no le resten mucha iluminación . Deciros que todo marcha según lo planeado y puedo decir que mejor de lo que esperaba.

the chosen bell is well and this week I think it has settled into its new vase, even if this week the only one was not the best she is well, the same and the heads have settled and turned well and I hope that they all grow evenly and by doing so I think I will start managing her future height because being hemp sativa l./industrial hemp despite having been selected she will be ta

She getting real big since I first started her

Plants are doing good this week, I started to lower the feed a bit from 1.6 down to 1.2 as some of them are finishing off and the rest are not to far behind noticed a bit of burn on upper leaves suggesting to heavy of a feed as well. Updated the heights on them as well as they grew a tiny bit. Should be the last height update, this is their final form :D #1 - 45cm +2cm #2 - 39cm +3cm #3 - 39cm +2cm #4 - 24cm +2cm #5 - 48cm +2cm #6 - 51cm +2cm Two of the plants have started to show signs they are entering their end stages of life. Hopefully everything else will be ready soon as I do not want to do a staggered harvest. Been noticing its hard to capture the frost on them with my camera as the overhead lights mess up the photo somehow. notice when they are beside the tent with reflected light on them it shows up a bit better so took some individual selfies of them on a back background. Liverwort is also doing well, once this plant is all done I have a feeling its going to like its new home. I want to see how big I can get it, it also have a bunch of smaller off shoots starting now as well beside the main plant, in some of the other pots I also have mosses :D Also PSA: remember to clean your intake filters if you have any, they get dusty and lower your CFM rating of the extractor fans in the tent. and if you use a carbon filter its already getting lowered a lot.

***** Week 5 December 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination ***** Going into the first full week of flower/transition. She was definitely going through the start of transition last week but I left it as a veg week and will call this the first flower week. She is not 100% and will not be but she has all of the signs of being a nice girl. She grew hard to start and she can take the nutrients levels, leaf colour is very good and she has grown evenly, nothing odd with growth. You just can't make up veg time with autos as they don't stop😞 For the first four weeks I end up staying so focused on making sure the autos are happy everyday and for the full day if at all possible..........as opposed to the first four weeks of a photo and I am a lot more relaxed and feel there is time to correct anything......its all good😂😂 This girl has obviously not been happy about everything in life over the first four weeks. She was put on a riser this week to help get her closer to the light. I still don't know exactly what I have done but suspect it was a combination of things in veg to slow her down. I feel she likely wants a quite dry media so the roots can breath more........I was not "soaking" the coco with the volumes of moisture but it was wet. Possibly could have cut watering volumes in half to see. Been battling pH drift though so I have it in my thick skull to give a good runoff amount........which can lead to a "soaked" media and that my have been part of it??? I also took four large fan leaves up higher on her, early on right after the first LST and think that pissed her off as well........I knew when I did it and thought I would "roll the dice" and take them but maybe should have left them.......cant go back but at least aware of it😀 Pulled her out this week and looked closer at her to see the bottom better. Her branches are soft so silica is increasing now that we are in flower. Colour was good below and not spotting or deformities. When tying down the branches, she pulled her self right up around the ties again easily enough by the next day. At this point I just want to get all the extra leaves out of there and let the air flow so I removed a number of fan leaves on her lower half, not too crazy but enough that she felt it I am sure.......she is already stunted so screw it and help give her a chance to get more light and grow taller was my thought😁👊 Little more detail..... Dec 20/20, Day 29 - Dry out day after heavier feed yesterday. Dec 21/20, Day 30 - need to add some moisture - 1.5L watering with Magnificat @ 2ml = 200ppm and 5.7pH - more of a watering today with some CalMag added because RO water being used. Dec 22/20, Day 31 - dry out day today. - going to let her go and feed in the morning tomorrow. Dec 23/20, Day 32 - Feeding day today. Continuing with first weeks flower feed of 2ml/L. - 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, AstroFlower, VeloKelp, Natures Candy @ 2ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH. Dec 24/20, Day 33 - dry out day again. Still fair bit of weight in the pot compared to the other autos. - pull out tomorrow and clean up lower growth and check runoff numbers. Dec 25/20, Day 34 - 2L full feed again with the same 2ml/L feed as earlier in the week for all the autos. Added AN Rhinoskin as well for silica. - 1150ppm and 5.9pH going in.........pots were really dry and perfect pretty well. - Runoff was 1075ppm and 6.0pH.........I can live with that at week 2 flower😁😁 Dec 26/20, Day 35 - 1L full feed again. Had mixed up 12L yesterday. - Added 2ml/L of Microbial Mass and Piranha = 1200ppm and 5.9pH. - She needed her microbe allotment as we are at the start of flower. - Bacteria added to help keep some of the nutrients in the media as she finishes. - next watering is more of plain water and add Terpinator. Nice girl Sweet Seeds.......I have messed her up but learning from her.......we will get one to smile about😬😬

This was a very ups and downs type grow . I feel very blessed to get buds from this crop . It was a big one . Now I got the confidence back and will be full steam ahead . "NO QUIT"

This was a week. The drama at the beginning was one of the fans falling down onto my gorilla cookies. It snapped a branch off really bad but the girl hung onto it by threads. I duct taped her up and somehow took. 😎😢 I defoliated and did a little lst on a couple of the girls. Nothing major. Also increased the light to 80% now. I think I'll stay there until late flower when I switch to 12/12. I also added blocks to a couple of the girls to make the canopy level. That put the light at 15" as recommended by Medic Grow. Purple Lemonade is slowly making a comeback. I will say, even though the buds are small and the plant has struggled, the smell is already there. Which excites me. The lemonade smell is definitely there. Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Week 6. Installed a individual sog for this single plant. Is only one so lets get the more of it. The buds are starting to multiple very fast.

Ever since I started adding nutrients my main flowering plant looks like it’s stressed out. Maybe even slowing of some growth. The one that just started flowering seems to be unbothered. Continuing to try to follow instructions as best as I can but of coarse I can do stupid things like after I feed I once used water without ph correcting it 😒. All good though gotta learn somehow. This strain keeps growing regardless. Might just not hit its maximum potential due to lack of professional know how.

* Week 1-2 of Veg, thus far everything is moving accordingly. Everyday clean water feeds, every other day nute feeds* 2 New nutrients introduced this week.

We enter the magical moment and do it with a surprise, we will be for a lot of time in collaboration with Marshydro and thanks to this we have a brand new light setup and truly top tent. The two Dark Phoenix are coming to the end. The first plant the most regular with a topping to 16 pounds has raised and inflated well and regularly all 16 and practically they are more or less at the same level at the time they are going to do the final sprint they scare. Beautiful peaks see them mature will be a joy. The second plant had a problem with the leaves I think a deficiency or excess of something, I am doing a pH 6 flush to make the nuts absorb and give an enahcer bang before the end. There are both and looks like the top. Immediately after the Flush the last wintered with Enahncer is scheduled and then only Flush. LIGHT >> MARSHYDRO SP3000 AT 100% OF POWER, we already like it so much because it covers the intact length of the tent.

Transplanted in the afternoon of 10/23 because they were rooting out of the pucks. Got some humidity dome cups coming tomorrow and another inline fan to handle intake to try to dial in things a bit more. Growing well as the week ends, #1 is the big guy so far, growing really well. Sprayed with Neem Oil on 10/24 Fed Light Fox Farms Blend on 10/25 Treated with NemAttack on 10/26
