Training week for the girls! 💪 Not a big fan of bending clips but some of the plants seem a bit stunted with slow grow and not much branches to work with! 😕 Hoping they bounce back and have a nice late stretch next week 😅

Week 13 Day 92 Blue Dream is rocking and fattening up her sister is 2 weeks behind but fatter too the 4 California Snows are added g weight they are day 83 and 88 all got 3 liters plus of water every 4 days the 6 still growing g wide buds so they got 800 ppm of nutrients and my blue dream baby got some bloom Booster extra this week it helped her sister all PH are good.. Why do seed companies lie about date of harvest ? It’s always 2 extra long weeks if your lucky day 85. Not me smoke em if you got em 😹

Well it’s week 5. Week one of what I’m gonna call flower. I got 2 plants in full flower and the others are coming from begins fast. Dealt with a mag issue this past week got it straightened out. The banana purple punch plants just aren’t thriving like the rest in my tent. I’m gonna grow them again because I’m pretty positive it a me problem. The plants are doing awesome and these fast buds grow insanely fast. I’ve been creeping my light up every week. I’m at 60 percent on this evo 3. Gonna bump it up to 70 percent later when my light comes back on

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Week #4 🌺🌸

Good update, got some hand pollination done and hopefully some seeds will pop out of these bitches in a few weeks. The video shows the pollen falling out of the nanners in the calyx I plucked off the plant. Use plant A's pollen to pollinate plant B, and used plant B's pollen to pollinate plant A. This is not 100% as the plants now have both their protective domes off of the one reversed branch. Cant say for cretin its not blowing aorund on its own and back crossing on the same plant. Any who this week was going to be a top up week on nutrients as well for this plant but given its heavy feeding and burning before I skipped out on that and will probably not need to do anything for the rest of its grow. It should be not focused on creating seeds and that should use up whats left in the medium. If its showing any signs I will use a basic liquid feed for house plants just to give it something or make a "tea" out of a scoop of Herb Thrive 5-4-5 and some acid. Other plants got a transplant and top up so that's why the water had all the beneficials this week and last.

Benedetto sia il giorno (1 anno fa) in cui ho comprato queste Rainbow Belts!!! Sono sicuro già a metà fioritura che sarà l'erba più buona che avrò fumato in tutta la mia vita. Sa di lime o cmq sembra di mettere il naso in un pacchetto di caramelle Zkittlez Spendete quella mezz'ora in più del vostro tempo per cercare l'incrocio giusto da coltivare piuttosto che fare la prima cosa che vi passa tra le mani. L'erba non è tutta uguale 😏 Ci vediamo settimana prossima 🖐️ ❤️

My Sticky Rice plant is still quite small and hasn't shown a ton of growth yet. It's definitely the runt of the litter, but I'm hoping it'll pick up soon and fill in some of that extra space in the tent. Fingers crossed! Okay, This past week has been absolutely fantastic! The weather has been incredible, and I've been able to keep the windows open almost the entire time. My plants are thriving in the humidity, and the VPD has been perfect. Everything just feels so balanced and in check.

What can I say about this lady? Well let's see. She's sticky as hell. She's a 🔝 trichomes machine. Beautiful hard dense nuggets. Very spicy and piney aroma, very very strong, stinks my whole balcony. What a great a beautiful Gorilla strain man. Definitely will grow her many more times. Top Gorilla strain. 🦍👽💎 ❄️ Peace everybody! 💚 🌱 ✌️

Hey now, this week went pretty good, the buds are about done bulking up, and just waiting on the trichomes, I was really hoping she would be about ready, but I think she needs another week to week and a half total. The buds are rock hard, and super sticky. I have no clue what she will yield because the colas are not that thick, but there are definitely alot of them. I plan to squeeze her into rosin, and hopefully I can break the 25% mark for the first time with her, but we will see. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the videos, Happy Memorial Day Family, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!!

12/09/2025 Last week of nutes and last week of real flowering. Both ladies look just about done. Papaya Cookies is nearly there. Lemon Cherry Cookies isn't too far behind either. But she definitely has the whole week plus a couple days to go. Papaya Cookies might be done by the end of the week, if not sooner. I might have to push her a little more so I can harvest them at the same time. I won't be changing out the water until after lights out as I always do. So today will just be a plain water top off. Well, that's been everyday for like 2 weeks. Lol. But, I noticed both ladies definitely didn't drink as much as usual last night. Another sign that they are almost done. Normally it's close to a gallon a day. This was about a half gallon. Anyway, I won't be recording the morning readings as the water will be changed out today. If it were under the normal night and day schedule, it would be easier to do this, but the AI suggested this time of day for lights out. It's warmer now than at night. Obviously. Lol. So now I have to wait for lights on after the plants have had their rest to change the water out. Then we can take readings. Next week, which will only be 3 or 4 days, I'll be doing a slow wet trim. Or I guess the defoliation I should have done 2 months ago. Anyway, I'll be pulling anything with a reachable stem. I won't be cutting the sugar leaves. That's after drying with my new cannabrush. We'll see how well this baby works. On a final note before lights out, Papaya Cookies has a few buds that are nearly done on the bottom and they are super hard. Really nice smalls. There's a bit of larf, and I can't really reach the buds in the middle, but they seem to be the ones taking the longest. So I think we'll be waiting for those ones to finish. Lemon Cherry Cookies is kind of the same. Lots of bud in the middle that I can't reach. They aren't done and still have loads while pistils. But the buds on top are still swelling, so that's a good thing. We'll definitely see some bigger buds from this little lady. Good afternoon everyone. It's 6:41pm. New water new nutes cut in half. Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 824 TDS: 409 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 874 TDS: 439 So it's 10 pm and I decided to check the pH and whatnot. It spiked to 6.8. What is happening? I cannot get it to stay in range. I don't know what to do here. It has to be something in the roots. I wonder if it's my tap water. It seems to have worsened since I started using it, but I can't afford distilled bottles. I will be ordering distilled for the 3 day flush. But that's only 3 days and I'm saving up for it. Back to the matter at hand. pH spiking. Both plants. The EC and TDS also increased. Not by much, but still increased. The goal is to decrease. Hopefully, with the lower nutes, the roots or whatever gets diluted enough to slow everything down. They're already not drinking as much. So there's very little time. I wanted to get it corrected by today. But nope. Nothin doin. Well, I guess I'll be checking the pH tomorrow morning and changing the water out. I might have to change it in the morning and after lights out. We shall see. If it drops, I'm going to pH it back to 5.8 and leave the water alone. That's the plan. 12/10/2025 So today I checked the readings like everyday. BUT today my back is killing me and I can't lift the shit. It's really annoying. So frustrating. Anyway, Lemon Cherry Cookies didn't change one bit overnight. pH is still at 6.8. the EC and TDS are also in roughly the same spot. But she did drink about a half a gallon and there was no change, so that's good. No increase in nutrient concentration. But the pH man, the pH is brutal. Papaya Cookies dropped her pH down to 6.6, so that's good. Not in range, but still good. Her EC and TDS are also about the same. So same situation but a lower pH. So I popped 3 ml of pH down in and mixed it up. Half gallon went into each container. It did nothing to Lemon Cherry Cookies. The pH stayed the same. But the EC and TDS dropped a little. Papaya Cookies with the gallon, dropped down to 6.2 and the EC and TDS dropped a little bit as well. Readings: Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.74 EC: 922 TDS: 465 Papaya Cookies: pH: 6.5 EC: 867 TDS: 430 Forget everything you just read. LMAO. The numbers increased. I guess it's just a waiting game now. I'm gonna pH the water for both ladies after lights out. This morning I just added the plain pHed water. And not much happened. It's the roots. Gotta be. There's nothing left to look at. Well there's the tiny dose of nutes, but I don't think that's the problem. It could also be from the water itself. It's pretty hard. But I have no idea what to do about that. Is there a water softener that can be used in a bucket? Or would that be a really bad idea? Also, I just thought about this yesterday when I was removing Lemon Cherry Cookies from her bucket into the reserve for the water swap. As we all know, the tail of the roots is super long. So I have to lift it with my hands out of the water. My question is why didn't it ball up like Papaya Cookies? I think they have the same amount of roots, but Papaya Cookies has an actual ball where Lemon Cherry Cookies has a tail and smaller root ball. What gives? Anyway, that was my weekly WTF question. Next week it's gonna be something like why won't this carboflush work? Should I add more? Should I swap out the water... Again?... You know. I'm implementing Murphy's Law here. What can go wrong will go wrong. LMAO. It's all good. I'm preparing for that exact question. I bet it's gonna be increasing EC and TDS levels. That's gonna be the problem. And no idea how to solve it. Swap out the water every few hours? That's crazy. Maybe one or two swaps every day, but not every few hours. A waste of carboflush and water. So I'm super concerned with who will finish first. Papaya Cookies looks like she could be done by the end of the week. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like she could use the whole week and then some. I know I said this last week, but it is a real concern. And I still have nowhere to put the other tent. But it's only for a few days and not an entire week. Well, hopefully not an entire week. I have to trim in the tent so I can kinda keep the smell concealed. The fan on level 10 with just a side door open should be fine. Plus, I'm only taking off the sugar leaves at that point. So it should be a little faster with this brush thing and less smell will escape. Oh, I'll be using Grove Bags for the curing process. I really do like them. But I still need to add a Bovida pack because of the dry winter air. 12/11/2025 Morning readings after correction. Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.95 EC: 763 TDS: 381 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 946 TDS: 473 I got a couple trichome videos posted for everyone to see. I actually haven't watched them yet, so I'll update shortly. But in bigger news. I found a full fledged flower on Lemon Cherry Cookies this morning. Complete with 1 seed. Then I found a bud with 3 seeds. Not developed yet, but there nonetheless. So that explains why she's taking longer to finish up. I'm hoping it was isolated and those are the only ones. I looked all through the bottom where I found the 2 sites. I think I found one more, but I left it alone. My question is, if I clear out the seeded sites, will the plant mature faster? Good question right?! Because what I read was that seeded cannabis plants will take longer to mature because of seed production, as seeds take 6 to 8 weeks to mature.i had a gorilla cookies that went for like 21 weeks because it got seeded everywhere. No clue how, I never found the pollen sacks. But that plant was super healthy and HUGE. Well huge for an Autoflower in a 3x3 tent with 3 more plants in there. Anyway, I'll definitely have to bring out the 2x2 now. As I said, I have trichome videos and I haven't seen them yet. But I have a feeling that Papaya Cookies is just about finished. As in I could probably start the flush this weeks as I suspected. We'll see though. Oh speaking of healthy plants. Lemon Cherry Cookies is also still unhealthy. I spoke too soon. Still locked out and now more leaves are turning yellow. The weird thing is, I added a very small amount of nutrients. How there's still an issue I don't know. I guess just wait longer? 🤔 Ok, so I just watched both videos. Lemon Cherry Cookies definitely has more time to go. The trichomes are mostly clear toward the middle of the plant. So she definitely has more time to go. Hopefully with any luck, she'll mature by the end of the week. Papaya Cookies has almost all cloudy trichomes. I like a bit of amber in the mix and there is none. So I'm going to wait for Sunday I think then start flushing her. I'll flush for 3 days. So that will be finished on Tuesday. And that's when I should be able to start flushing Lemon Cherry Cookies. Then I chop Papaya Cookies and hang her up. At the same time, I do a 3 day dark period for Lemon Cherry Cookies while she finishes up. In the meantime, Papaya Cookies is happily drying right above her. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to work the environment. I'm thinking I can just keep the temp at around 66° and bring the humidity up to 50% I think that's good. I have to look into it. But it's only for a few days and there's still plenty of airflow. I will be turning 1 fan off though. As to not disturb Papaya Cookies while she dries. Plus I don't need 2 fans for 1 plant this size. So yah, that's my plan. And as long as it works I'm good to go. If it doesn't work, I'll have to bring out the 2x2 and hook it up to the 3x3 and use that exhaust to pull from the tent. I have an extra fan so I can run that as well. For air circulation. Not too sure how I'm gonna keep the humidity up in there. Hmmmm. That's not good. I can definitely keep the temp low, but the humidity is super dry here right now. Well, it'll be 3 days in the 3x3 drying so if the 3x3 isn't ready for both plants to dry, the 2x2 will only be used for like 7 days. With a 10 day dry, that is. I'd rather not rush the drying time. Although, if I can't figure out the humidity, I may be rushing it quite a bit. Like in a very bad way. So I hurt my back and am having trouble even checking the readings. Hopefully it's not all messed up. Also, I've been thinking. Both plants have nutrient lockout. Would it make sense to start flushing Papaya Cookies like tomorrow? She only has about a week left. 12/12/2025 Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.5 EC: 731 TDS: 364 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 877 TDS: 438 So I think Papaya Cookies is just about done. Tons of cloudy pistils. But a lot of clear as well on certain parts. I was gonna wait to flush in 4 days, but I think she needs it now. I'll start the flush later this afternoon I think. Or tomorrow. It all depends on how I'm feeling. My back is still out for torture lunch. Fuck, it hurts. Lol. Anyway, I think she's really close to harvest. Lemon Cherry Cookies on the other hand definitely needs more time. The tops look fine, but the middle of the plant is loaded with unfinished larf. Larf I can press into concentrate. And frankly, I don't want to harvest just the top of the plant. However, when I pull Papaya Cookies out, I'm going to center Lemon Cherry Cookies in the tent. I'm thinking about tossing the trellis net on there and pull the top branches outward to open up the canopy. That should help with the lowers in finishing a little faster. We shall see how I feel about it. Maybe I'll ask around. Update: I moved a couple things around and setup my dry tent. It's going to be exhausted through the 3x3. I'm thinking about putting the exhaust fan up to help with air exchange. Like very low. Anyone think this is a bad idea? Another Update: So I decided to start the flush with Papaya Cookies. She's got plenty of cloudy trichomes. Some buds have some clear on them. The only buds that aren't ready are the ones in the center of the plant. Way in there. I expect they will be ready on the next week. Or 3 days. Lol. I figure if they have too much nutes, then Papaya Cookies should have enough to last a week or so. If that's how it works. We'll find out.

Growing rapidly from day 36 to 43. BB1 is very bushy and compact. GG2 has the most stretch in the last 2 weeks. Defol 9 leaves twice in a week for BB1. All others just once. Saw some deficiencies on two plants day 38. Guessing too much Cal Mag caused Potassium lock out. Flushed all 4 with 1.5 gallons of PH 6.5 water. Half gallon Nute water to each, minus Cal Mag on day 42.

Today They have pop in my new room is completely ready for a New girls season I am going to use a rosin press for a large quantity off all the flowers That we produce And I will be reviewing that brand ones it arrive

Aug 19th, Cappy #2 has been steady and filling out really nicely so far. Have added Phos-Fixer Blend Tea for her to build up her buds easier. This stuff has been working great with the Growdots, Azomite, Langbinite, alfalfa meal combo lately. Gonna keep working on that but think I found my start point atleast .. Still growing at a good clip tho, she's reaching for more light so I had adjusted the DLI some roughly between 35/40 now about the highest ill really ever go. Lights about 75% (640w) but get nice tight buds no need to run up my electric lol. But that's really about it for this week. Can't wait to see how this one goes I kinda biffed up my first one not being home to harvast it wasn't handled right .. learned alot this last year lol, definitely gotta automate more and get atleast 1 solid helper for times I'm physically unable. Due time grow rooms still coming together slowly aswell. Getting there tho .. Always appreciate everyone's time and support, hope ur all doing well !! Till next week!! Can't wait to see this one filled out !!

Interessant zu beobachten wie die Lila Pigemtierung innerhalb einiger Tage die Pflanze färbt, das UVB macht auf jedenfall seine Arbeit, sehr schön und verdichtet nochmal ordentlich die unter liegenden Blüten… 2/4 wurden geerntet, denken in 7 Tagen kommt die nächste Ernte

Still on water only. Captains Cake going to mom and clone tent. Alongside sour dream. For future diary's. Switching to Budswell 0-7-0 for flowering next week.😁

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 !
