Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

So she's getting pretty close to being finished I reckon guys!! She's had pretty much straight water for a month or so now with only a few little feeds Her buds are feeling dense and have developed a beautiful purple colour (which I am trying my hardest to enhance!) They also have a beautiful citrus smell with some earthy overtones and are looking frosty!! Trichomes are still cloudy no amber! It's Tuesday 12/10/21 day 55 of flower and her next drink will be tonight and she will be getting a weak dose of feed, 1 maybe 2 more then flush!!!!

I think this should be the last week of flower, as the trichomes are almost completely cloudy and some start to turn a light amber. I’ll let them sleep in complete darkness for two days at the end of week to slowly start the drying process and push some colour. I’m more then satisfied with how my first run turned out so far, I could have done a lot of thing better, but I’m still happy with the end result. I learned a lot from my first grow, also with your help :) Thanks to everyone who was giving me advice or helping me out with my questions I really wouldn’t have thought, that special queen 1 has such an amazing smell, it’s crazy how different all 4 smell and feel. Four completely different phenotypes, but really happy with every single one of them. Update Day 119/ Harvest Today I cut the plants and hang them in my grow tent for drying, trying to get around 60% humidity and 20C. Fans on level 3 one on the top one at the bottom. I’ll update as soon as they are dry

Hello GrowDiaries friends. 70 days since my little girl sprouted from seed/harvest time🌱 Technical and general parameters from Zamnesia breeder: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Growing Apple Fritter Automatic according to breeder: In the grow room, Apple Fritter Auto is a true pleasure. Its height rarely exceeds 100cm, and its structure is typical of an indica 🍀🍃🌲; think short internodes, thick, dark-green foliage, and vigorous growth. While Zamnesia’s photoperiod Apple Fritter responds extremely well to both low and high-stress training, Apple Fritter Automatic is best left to its own devices due to its short life cycle (which averages about 70 days from seed to harvest). 🌱🌿🌾 My experience: I made two major mistakes while growing it - high pH at the beginning of flowering and over-fertilizing during one watering 💩💩 It affected all the plants in the tent. Some more, some less. This plant was one of the resistant ones. Although the breeder himself states how sensitive autoflowers are and I can confirm that they really are, this strain handled this strain very well. This is definitely the most beautiful and strongest plant of the round 💚🍎🌱 The harvest turned out accordingly, I am really very satisfied 👍🌞 Strain data sheet Apple Fritter Automatic Brand: Zamnesia Seeds Parents: Sour Apple X Animal Cookies X Ruderalis Genetics: Indica-dominant Auto Flowering Type: Autoflowering Flowering Time: 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest THC: 23% CBD: Low Height (Indoor): 100cm Height (Outdoor): 100cm For cultivation I used: ------------------------------------------------------ Growing tent Mammoth PRO+ 80: 80x80x180cm 1x circulation fan: 15W 🌬️ LED lighting: Mars Hydro TS 1000 - 150W - vegetation and flowering 💡💡 Exhaust: duct fan - RAMTT100 🌬️ Odor filter: PRO-ECO HF carbon filter 160-240m3/h - 100mm - maximum air flow up to 240m3/h 4x Airpots 11 l I mix substrate: Biobizz Lightmix + Perlite + Coco coir For sale here 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇: ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡https://www.zamnesia.com/7653-zamnesia-seeds-apple-fritter-automatic.html ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

An excellent plant, steady growth and long stems. I spotted some calmag deficiency so I added some more. That’s for now 🌸

Доброго всем дня Сегодня 89 день жизни моей дочки. Ровно 4 недели как перевел на цвет. Рост прекратился в начале этой недели и я решил убрать азот. Но прежде я ее промыл хорошо, вывел все накопившие соли с горшка, и ее корней, думаю мне это удалось. На выходе из горшка вода показала всего 111ppm! Так же на этой недели стали желтеть верхние листья, считаю что это и за недостатка кальция. По этой причине стал добавлять CALiMAGic. Я его всегда использовал когда пользовался линейкой удобрений от General Hydroponics. Вообще в конце я напишу свое мнение о использованных мной удобрений, может кому то будет полезен мой опыт. Полил ( 1061ppm )-3л Sensi Bloom Coco A - 4мл/л; Sensi Bloom Coco B - 4мл/л; Big Bud Coco - 2мл/л; Bud Candy - 2мл/л; Влажность 32% - 43%; температура 21c - 28c 8 - й день цвета, Полил ( 1146ppm )-3л Sensi Bloom Coco A - 4мл/л; Sensi Bloom Coco B - 4мл/л; General Hydroponics Kool Bloom -1мл/л; B-52 - 2мл/л; Влажность 26% - 44%; температура 22c - 30c 9 - й день цвета, Промыл 36л Влажность 26% - 41%; температура 20c - 28c 10 - й день цвета, Полил ( 1056ppm )-3л Sensi Bloom Coco A - 2мл/л; Sensi Bloom Coco B - 2мл/л; General Hydroponics Kool Bloom -2мл/л; B-52 - 2мл/л; General Hydroponics CALiMAGic - 2мл/л; Влажность 22% - 38%; температура 20c - 27c 11 - й день цвета, Полил ( 1071ppm )-3л Sensi Bloom Coco A - 2мл/л; Sensi Bloom Coco B - 2мл/л; General Hydroponics Kool Bloom -2мл/л; Big Bud Coco - 2мл/л; Cal-mag Xtra - 0,5мл/л; Влажность 22% - 32%; температура 20c - 27c 12 - й день цвета, Полил ( 596ppm )-3л Sensi Bloom Coco A - 2мл/л; Sensi Bloom Coco B - 2мл/л; General Hydroponics Kool Bloom -2мл/л; Nirvana - 2мл/л; Влажность 23% - 32%; температура 20c - 27c 13 - й день цвета, Полил ( 970ppm )-3л General Hydroponics Kool Bloom -2мл/л; Big Bud Coco - 2мл/л; Cal-mag Xtra - 2мл/л; General Hydroponics CALiMAGic - 1мл/л; Sensizym -2мл/л; Влажность 26% - 35%; температура 19c - 26c 14 - й день цвета Как видите влажность очень низкая. Конечно хотелось бы чтоб она была чуть выше, но лучше пусть будет ниже нормы чем выше нее.

Vigorous Males, Strong Clones, and Bud Formation This week was full of action in the grow! Two out of the three males are in full bloom, and I’m actively collecting pollen. They are impressive plants, with strong structures and large pollen sacs. If everything stays on track, I believe the females will be ready for pollination in about a week. Observations: All 18 clones have successfully rooted! Some have already entered the vegetative stage and are receiving supplemental light at nightfall to keep their growth steady. The plants responded very well to the light defoliation I did earlier. Now, the buds are starting to take shape, showing great progress in the flowering phase. To optimize this stage, I spaced out the pots, ensuring better airflow and increased light penetration, which should support full and healthy flowering. This week, I plan to top off the pots with more substrate, ensuring the plants have enough space and nutrients to reach their full potential. Next Steps: Keep monitoring the males and collecting pollen at the right time. Watch the females closely to determine the ideal moment for planned pollinations. Observe the clones' growth and adjust care as needed. The grow is on the right track, and expectations for the coming days are high!

Shes a bushy one, all these plants are growing so bunched up cuz they were stunted before the flip, expecting a disappointing run overall for quality although roughly 80% of the tent is purple so it should look cool atleast
