Overview: In the second week of our grow diary "Schroedinger's Plants," the Tropicana Cookies, Gorilla Zkittlez, and Apple Strudel strains have shown varied yet overall positive growth under controlled conditions. Each strain continues to progress well, with interventions to address minor issues. Plant Specifics: 1. Tropicana Cookies: Growth: The plant height increased from 8 cm to 11.5 cm throughout the week, showing healthy growth. Health: Plant health remained robust, marked by the continued green color stabilization and decrease in vein thickness initially noted. Interventions: Regular doses of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt were administered to maintain nutrition and micronutrient levels. A notable treatment for fungus gnats (Trauermücken) using nematodes was applied early in the week, which required adjustments in watering to facilitate effective nematode deployment. Environmental Conditions: The environment was stable with slight increases in daytime and nighttime temperatures towards the end of the week. 2. Gorilla Zkittlez: Growth: Progressed from 7 cm to 9.5 cm in height by the end of the week. Health: Similar to Tropicana Cookies, this strain exhibited signs of early nutrient issues (thickening of veins and lighter green in new growth) that were effectively managed, leading to improved color and reduced vein prominence. Interventions: Application of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt continued, adjusting as needed based on plant response. Plans to increase PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) were made to encourage stronger growth responses. Challenges: Like the other strains, initial signs of fungus gnat (Trauermücken) were addressed with nematodes. 3. Apple Strudel: Growth: Showed a steady increase from 6.5 cm to 9 cm. Health: Initial challenges with vein thickness and lighter green patches were managed through similar nutrient adjustments as the other strains. Interventions: Consistent nutrient management with Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt helped stabilize growth and coloration. Caught up with the others by the end of the week, after initially lagging slightly behind in growth. Environmental Notes: The plant environment was kept stable, mirroring the conditions of the other strains with slight temperature increases noted towards the week's end. General Observations and Actions: Pest Management: The introduction of nematodes early in the week helped manage the presence of Trauermücken across all plants, a necessary step to prevent infestations. Nutrient Management: The consistent use of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt across all strains helped address minor nutrient imbalances seen as vein thickening and changes in leaf coloration. Environmental Control: Slight increases in temperature and adjustments in humidity levels were monitored to ensure optimal growth conditions. These adjustments were crucial as the plants transition from seedling to more mature vegetative stages. Conclusion: The second week showed promising growth and stability across all strains. While minor issues were quickly addressed through targeted interventions, the overall health of the plants remained strong. Moving forward, the focus will be on maintaining this momentum and carefully monitoring environmental parameters and plant responses to optimize growth. The increase in PPFD will be particularly interesting to follow in terms of its impact on growth rates and overall plant vigor. In week 3 we'll also start with LST-Training the Ladies. Cheers,

08/09/2020/ start of week 3 flowering, I think I'm seeing P deficiency? Watered her with LAB to see if it helps going to put a couple spikes of 4-9-3 around the outer rim, and water in with more LAB to get the microbial army mobilized.🙏

The new additional nutrients I received from House and Garden are nothing short of amazing. I contacted them about a possible sponsorship and they sent me the entire like of nutrients for my entire grow. The first thinning and structure happened this week and everyone responded well, especially the Black dog OG. The San Bacio Gelato is showing its vigor as being the tallest plant out of the for and expectedly so. The Purple Matcha will get two watering of just Terpinator as it doesn’t like the feeding schedule I am implying. The Bubba is doing what Bubba does! Being an absolute stud of a strain,

The plant was harvested and trimmed, yielding a total of 101 grams. Buds are notably dense and carry a satisfying weight, indicating strong structural development and resin content. Their visual quality is exceptional—each nug shimmers with a velvety green glow, reminiscent of fine fabric under light. This appearance may reflect optimal trichome coverage and healthy chlorophyll retention at harvest. The results suggest that the timing was well-aligned with peak maturity. Further analysis during curing will confirm aroma, potency, and terpene preservation.

Week 6 I seem to have solved the problems that were appearing 🤞 I have a problem with watering. due to the size of the por and the respective evaporation. I have been giving water with higher doses of nuts but less often. Is in week 6 of 7-8 maybe leave it for 9-10 weeks. I want her to feed a little more and then I'll do the real flush 🛁🛁 The main colas are strong and with great structure. Some main branches look authentic colas... other branches are smaller but good looking. I did a defoliation and laid the canopy down so the light could reach lower and used a net to lst🌞🌞

Howdy doody folkeroonies! decided to chop the one which was showing some brown trichomes. Glad i did as finally have enough room in the grow tent without everything squishing together! I’ve got it drying in a box. Not sure if no airflow is an issue, I've asked this in Questions. One of the GSC’s is a little purple, brown. So nice looking and fat buds too!! Going away for 2 nights so planning on flushing all tomorrow morning before heading off. 1 plant chopped, 3 left to go. Probably another 2 weeks max before they’re all chopped.

She was the second to pop up (and purple punch earlier that day) I won’t be topping any autos this run! I will be only low stress training until scrog and then I’ll high stress train if necessary! I’ve given the first feed today of biobizz (doing fastbuds organic the other 3 synthetic) my aim is to keep the veg period vigorous! As a great veg equals great bloom! All other

Greetings to all growers! I´d like to share my experience with my plants. Growth was really fast, I didn´t even enjoy it. It was really awesome, plants were growing in front of my eyes, I could adapt them as I wished, they tolerated anything. The greatest joy I had when one of my C4 became purple (really beautiful). This is my first plant with coloring, so I´m really happy! C4 has started to bloom in 3.week. Lemon is absolutely crazy, he is still growing, he has 30.day and I still have to increase light because of his growth and he is starting to bloom. Fastberry is also growing well and just like Lemon is also coming to bloom. I hope everything will be fine and I will come to successfull end.

Noticed I was feeding too much nitrogen into flowering so cut back on that in the last couple weeks. Also noticed runoff TDS creeping up so I'm feeding each plant with slightly lower nutes at 1.5 gal a day w/ about 25% runoff. Currently about 700 going in with 1400 coming out. Nothing much other than that, just trying to keep them happy.

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! A huge THANK YOU to Zamnesia, Plagron, and GrowDiaries for making this incredible Eternity Grow Cup 2025 possible!

_____📅 Week 8 | 📅 Day 50 - 56 | 17.06 - 23.06 ____________________________________ 🌼🌸🌺Pre-flower🌼🌸🌺 23.06.25 | Day 56🌞💧 🔸This week I wanted to stress my sweetys as little as possible, so only a few photos from the tent. They are standing perfectly straight and I didn't want to break or snap anything off. They are doing great. 🔸I tried out my additional light this week and connected it to my controller. As soon as the flowering starts I will switch it on. I'll have to see how much distance I use this time, the lamps were too close to the plants during the last grow “Runtz” and that didn't look nice. 🔸Next week I will start giving her Big Bud as soon as the first buds appear. 🔸A&B: the fresh shoots and leaves look almost yellowish lime green...but will darken with time. I first thought it was a deficiency at the beginning of the week. _________________________________________________________________________________________ current conditions: 🌡️🔆= 24° 🌡️🌜= 18-19° 💨 Hum. = 65% 🔦 PPFD = 600 umol 12/12 🔦⌚DLI = ~ 25 _________________________________________________________________________________________ equipment to use: 💡 Light: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4- 120 on 60% ⛺ 120 x120 x 180 🍯 Pots: 18 liter pot 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz light mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap Water 0,5 EC
