Lots of growth this week. They have all been in 2-gallon Pots and I have transferred them all to 5-gallon pots yesterday. All are doing very well. All have started Cal-Mag and Mystic Dream Blood Root.

The growth and appetite of these two plants has increased proportional to the airflow increase. The BHB is drinking 4 liters a day, the CBD, 2 liters. Every second day is a feeding. EC drops by approximately 2-3 points every 48 hours. PH rises from 5.5 to 5.8-5.9 every 24-48 hours. CBD's issue was Magnesium. Added Epsom salts to the res and issue is no more. Both plants are stacking very well and the CBD has now caughtup to the BHB's height. CBD is at 66 cm while the BHB holds steady at 70.

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and things look like she’ll be ready for a chop in two weeks. Giving her straight water from here on out to get all the leftover nutes out of the soil. Day 51 - Thinking this girl is probably down to the last 7-10 days looking at the trichs but if she keeps popping out white pistils, I’ll let her go till that stops. Gave her a heavy feeding of straight water today. Day 52 - Did a bit of defoliating today since she’s getting close to harvest. Want to maximize the light to try and get as much out of her as I can. She’s definitely not a big plant so anything I can do to fatten her up. Day 53 - Looking great, nothing too much to report. Just pulled her out for some daily pics and to check the trichs. They’re mostly cloudy still with some amber in there but she’s still pumping out some white pistils so until that stops, I’m gonna let her go. Day 54 - She’s coming along nicely and looking at her, she might be ready for a chop this weekend. Don’t really see anymore white pistils, they’re all orangish/red and starting to shrivel up. Still gonna let her go until I get what I want out of the trichomes but looking like this weekend but I’ll be checking her trichs daily!! Day 55 - Not sure what I want to do. Looking at her and the trichs, she’s probably ready to chop any day. If I do, I will chop this weekend but just not sure cause it will only be around 60 days from seed and FastBuds says 8-9 weeks so that’s right on par with they’re schedule. I’ll check her out Saturday and see what the trichs look like and if I think she’s ready, she’ll get the chop. Most likely will give her a nice flush with water and foxfarm’s Sledgehammer tomorrow. Day 56 - It’s the end of week 8 and since she’s just about finished, I went ahead and flushed her with 2 gallons of 6.4 pH’d water and 20ML of foxfarm’s sledgehammer so we’ll see how she’s doing this weekend and will most likely chop on Saturday.

Day 106 12/25/2021 being of a new week and this will be more than likely the last week this lady gets any nutrients thinking Wednesday. After that will start flush with collected rain water. After checking trichomes they were about 85% cloudy about 10% clear and 5% amber which is right where she should be since the end is coming fast. Day 110 12/29/2021- Started flush today and will continue to just feed rain water until next Wednesday. Will cut her down next Friday 01/07/2022.

12/17/23 - Day 41 - It flipped to flower today. I didn't document it via video because it's just like all the other videos. Except this change uses different level of the nutes for Flowering. Alot of the bud sites have tons of pistles on them. The plant itself is so round and bushy. The plants branches are very close together. There is a video up there of me using the software to change from veg. to flower. I'll update you tomorrow once the lights come on. Now I only get 12 hrs of light instead of 18. 12/18/23 - Day 42 - FLOWER POWER! Look at those flowers starting to form! It looks amazing!!!!! I think starting from a good seed is better than a clone. If this ends up better than the last grow..... it's already off to a better start. The leaves looks super healthy. 12/23/23 - Day 47 - What a WEEK! The whole family got sick and I was the lone ranger on the battlefield taking care of all the units! So posting had to take a back seat! I did manage to grab some pictures during those days. I posted them up top. This week is the first week of Flower, and its going great! As you can see in the pictures that the buds are starting to take off from the bushy part of the plant. I installed a second Scrogg net, the buds are already starting to launch upwards and I can tell they are going to need some support as they get bigger. The Leaf box has been taking great care of the nutes, humidity, temp, and lighting. There is only one thing that I have had to do manually. Toward the last day of the week, the day before the water change the PH seems to dip down to 5.5. It's not a bad thing to be there for a couple of hours, but it is the lowest range I would ever let PH go in a hydroponic (DWC) setup. I have been adding 2 cap fulls of PH+ to get the PH in check. To be honest, adding 2 caps full of PH+ once a week is NOTHING. I feel like it's the least I could do. The box is creating the perfect environment. It's the perfect Cannabis Oasis, I treat my girls to the finest of living before the end. :) Happy growing and I'll post again after the water change tomorrow! If you like this experience and would like to have the same one, you can order your Leaf system from www.GetLeaf.co. (full disclosure, I paid in full for my Leaf unit. I was a Kickstarter backer back in 2017 this is not an advertisement, this is real life)

Took off excess lower bud sites and removed fan leaves. The plant is looking fantastic and plumping up nicely. Tops are already looking chunky and the light penetration is much better now after defoliating some more. I have turned the light up to 50% and have raised it to its final height. Luckily the stretching wasn’t too bad and didn’t push the light up too much.

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

Grow Report Week 10: The Beginning of the Flowering Phase Hello dear grow community, We have entered an exciting phase: the first week of flowering is over, and the plants have fought their way to the light. It’s a time of growth and change, and I’m here to report the latest from my grow room. The Flowering Phase The switch to a 12-hour light cycle has begun, and the plants have adapted well to the new routine. Except for the Banana variety, all have overcome the net. The Banana is a bit behind, but I remain optimistic and hope it will catch up soon. My space is increasingly filling up, and the health of all plants makes me very positive. Temperature Control Thanks to the TrolMaster controller, the temperatures remain constant at 25 degrees during the day and 22 degrees at night. The simulation of sunrise and sunset also seems to have a positive effect on the development of the plants. Stretching and Defoliation I hope the stretching continues for another two weeks so that all plants get enough light. After this phase, I plan to defoliate the plants finally. Fertilization I continue to follow the scheme when fertilizing, paying particular attention to the dosage of Cal/Mag and adjusting it as needed. Support I would like to thank all of you for the incredible support over the past few weeks. It is a joy to share this hobby with such a passionate community. Anticipation I look forward to the coming weeks with confidence and am excited about the progress we will make together. Until the next update! Thank you for stopping by, and see you next time! 😊

Looking good but I'm hoping the smaller colas beef up a bit more, makes me worry about the yield. Surprised to see ambers but I'll take it as a good sign. Good news is my tent and light arrive tomorrow! Just a 2x2x4 and a mars ts1000 but I'm really looking forward to growing in it. I plan to grow two 3-gallon pots at a time, autoflowers of course! Looking forward to having more room to work with instead of just the bucket and about 12" diameter that I've had my first 2 grows in. Happy growing y'all! 😎

Week 3 wedding cake s Watered two of the more mature ones on Monday total soak 100% nutrient Accidentally knocked over the runt then 🐕 dog stepped on it. Replanet in smaller cup to try to control substrate moisture. Tuesday reduce light to plant distance, increase tent air flow to reduce humidity. The runt made it. Water runt with 10 cc's of aerated tap water. Wednesday Prep general hydroponics cocotek Coco brick 3 1 gallon pots, designate plants with a name so I know which ones are which. Thursday transplant to fiber pot extend darkness by an additional 10 hours for root growth. Friday water sundance 2 cups tap water

The Bubble OG plants are looking awesome! My tallest one is stacking up with super dense buds. It's crazy to think that the other one is almost ready to chop – the colors are so vibrant. And then there's that short and squat one with the purple leaves. It's definitely the oddball of the bunch, but I kind of like it. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Iniziata la seconda settimana di fioritura, le ragazze hanno fatto un bellissimo stretch in altezza, ed hanno iniziato a riempire tutto l'ambiente di coltivo, quindi munito di forbici ben disinfettate ho eseguito una piccola defogliazione delle parti basse delle piante e tolto qualche foglia grande che impediva il passaggio della luce e dell'aria. Vedrò nei prossimi giorni come reagiranno
