All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

Week 2 – Day 14 (Veg) Around day 12, White Widow #1 started to show early signs of deficiency. EC was 0.9 at the time – likely too low for her current stage. Smaller plants in the grow showed no symptoms, which supports the idea that the larger ones needed more nutrition. To correct this, I increased feeding: base EC 0.4 plus full nutrients, total EC 1.3. The symptoms did not get worse after that, but her leaf color still remains slightly lighter than the rest. She was also moved into the final tent this week. During the move, I removed the first node pair to promote better structure. Transplant into a 15L fabric pot is planned for next week.

Transplanted 7 days ago they are back into high gear. Two different phenos is nice to see also nice to be back in flowering with colder weather on the horizon. Regular Gaia Green amendment mix of 4-4-4, 2-8-4, kelp meal, EWC & Glacial Rock Dust. No issues with Mg, finally solved with the rock dust. Plants looks out of shape ever so slightly it’s cause I’ve been leaf tucking. No under carriage bs going on here and I only removed dozen lower nodes on the biggest that’s it. Trying to maintain plant height will be near impossible, plant elevators will be a must. Still no signs of pistils I’ll need to look under canopy further to see. The higher PK food will be kicking in just now and should help with the shift in priorities. Both drink 1.5L every 2 day's at Day 35

This grow should be coming to an end next 2 weeks or so some are looking to be in the last stages, only issue is having multiple strains is strains finishing at diff times. There’s one exodus cheese that looks like she’s going to go 10/11 weeks but she’ll be cut well before that to start a new batch. There’s 3 clones that were taken 1 being a big Buddha blue cheese that absolutely reeks of tangie/Clementine terps with a slight sour cheesey smell. This is getting revegged and cloned for the next run. Ripper seeds - this is another strain I’m going to try to reveg as this is another keeper I should have taken cuts. Platinum x harachata - 2 different pheno / one with rock solid nugs other is more Sativa.

We arrived in the third week the plants show good vigor and growth. Some cold days 17 Cº may have prevented further growth but we do not have to complain the plants demonstrate to be enjoying food and light. On the 15th the plants presented slightly wilted leaves as day 16 was the day of watering I imagined it was thirsty. But day 16 a few hours after watering the plant still had the same symptoms so I realized that the LED screen was 53 cm from the plant. I increased the distance to 65cm and the plant returned to normal both in force and I managed to correct the diagnosis. I am managing to apprehend some things finally putting into practice.

Method 🎚️ Medium: 🥥🥥 We ran this one in an even parts soil, compost, coco and purlite mix. The hope was to minimize required nute feedings and maintenance. The addition of nute nuetral coco proved to be somewhat of a mistake and may have contributed to some unnecessary plant stress when she used up all the available natural nutes in the soil and compost. There simply wasn’t enough good stuff in the medium to see her happily through the cycle without extra supplementation. I’d do this again but leave out the coco and layer the compost at the bottom with minimal medium saturation and runoff in early/mid veg. This should achieve better results the next time round. She was entirely untrained and allowed to stretch to her highest height. A better yield definitely would’ve been derived with some topping/mainlining and training but regardless, her freak flag flew high and She went unnoticed by unwanted eyes. We won’t be able to grow high next year due to construction next door so this may be the last time I run a skyscraper outdoor in the rear yard. 1/5 volume emojis for method because there really wasn’t any training. 2/5 coconut emojis- not for the lack of training but due to the unsupportive medium amendments like the coco. Yield🌴🌴🌴 And now the part we all seem to measure with great expectation. The expectation in this case was to pull 9-12oz off this girl and we fell well short of that. For the reasons mentioned above as well as the fact that she was putting at least some of her efforts into seed production too. We spotted it pretty early on in flower and some stalks started showing signs of ball formation that every grower fears. I was really concerned she’d be a full on hermie but this didn’t happen and it seems it was just localized pollination. Probably due to an occasional, randy bumblebee that had come from elsewhere. It’s not all bad at all and we did pull a few seeds off of her that we’ll give a shot to in the future I think👍. Final yield - 7.18oz. I’m never going to complain about a quarter pound off a plant that needed almost no maintenance whatsoever👍. 3 palm tree emojis for not going full hermie and putting out enough of this magically intense bud to share with friends and family👍 Props As always, big shout-out thank you to GD for making this site accessible to us. There’s simply no better way to track a grow day-by-day than this platform. Gotta thank everyone who swung in and rung in with a like or comment too. Some awesome folks on this site for sure. Great discussion and now that the harvest season is coming to a close I hope to be lurking around for interesting potential strains and creepn on everyone else’s plants. Happy grow’n folks - all the plants made it to the chopping block this year so we’re lookn forward to a very relaxing winter.👊😎👊😎👊

This is more than just a grow—this is about pushing boundaries, learning, and sharing the magic with this incredible community. For me, it’s also a chance to reconnect with an old friend: the Zamnesia Runtz. This was one of my all-time favorite strains, a true keeper, until an unfortunate heatwave took her away. But here we are again, Runtz and I, ready to make history together. The Setup: A Glimpse of the Future To make this grow truly legendary, I’m using state-of-the-art equipment: • Lighting: The Future of Grow LED Black Series 600W or the germination, and after i am moving it all to my TM ecosystem Stay tuned, and controlled by the powerhouse TrolMaster Tent-X system, ensuring precision and optimal conditions every step of the way. • Nutrients: A custom mix of Aptus Holland and Plagron nutrients—because innovation meets reliability in this grow. • Medium: The ever-dependable Pro-Mix HP with Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae, ensuring strong roots and vigorous growth. • Germination Station: Seeds will sprout in my trusted CannaKan Germination Station, which has never let me down. Let’s Make Magic Together This is more than a diary—it’s a journey filled with learning, growth, and shared passion. I invite you to follow along not just here, but on Instagram and YouTube, where the magic will truly unfold. Expect deep dives into every step of the process, tips, tricks, and, of course, a final smoke report that’ll be as epic as the grow itself. From this moment until the last puff, this journey will be nothing short of epic. Together, let’s make it one for the history books—educational, inspiring, and unforgettable. Stay tuned for the next update: The Germination Report. Let’s rise and shine, legends! 🌟 🌱 The Germination Report: A New Beginning for the Eternity Grow Cup 🌟 First and foremost, I want to wish the best of luck to all the participants in the Eternity Grow Cup. To our incredible hosts—Grow Diaries, Plagron, and Zamnesia—thank you for creating this phenomenal platform and competition. You’re elevating the craft, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of it! 💚 The Journey Begins: Germination Success! Every great grow starts with the perfect germination, and I’m excited to share how I kicked off this legendary adventure. Using my trusted CannaKan Germination Station, I started the Zamnesia Runtz seeds—my old favorite strain—with the hope of finding a pheno as extraordinary as the passion fruit treasure I once had. The Process: My Way to Germination Glory Remember, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” method in growing. What works best is what adapts to your environment. Here’s how I do it: 1. Choosing the Right Tools • I use the CannaKan Germination Station, a tool I trust for consistent results. • With cold temperatures in my setup, I relied on a heat mat to maintain warmth, though it was still a little nerve-wracking! 2. The 24-Hour Miracle • Within less than 24 hours, the seeds had already sprouted and were ready to move into their next home. Seeing that spark of life so quickly is always magical. 3. Moving to Soil • I carefully transplanted each seedling into tiny pots filled with Pro-Mix HP with Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae, which offers excellent aeration and support for root development. • Each pot was labeled Runtz #1–5, ensuring I can track every pheno individually as the journey unfolds. 4. Sprouting Against the Odds • Despite the cold temps, those little warriors jumped out of the soil within 48 hours! Their resilience and vigor have me beyond excited for what’s to come. Tips for Germination Success Here’s what I’ve learned to keep germination smooth: • Consistency is key: Whether it’s moisture, temperature, or light, try to create a stable environment for your seeds. • Gentle hands: Handle your seeds with care when moving them; they’re delicate at this stage. • Adapt to your environment: No method is universal—always tweak your process to fit your conditions. • Patience: Sometimes, seeds need a little extra time to sprout. Keep faith! Next Steps: The Adventure Awaits Now that the seedlings are up and thriving, it’s time to let the journey truly begin. I’ll be hunting for that passion-fruit-like pheno that captured my heart last time, but every seed holds the potential for greatness. For now, I’m keeping it simple: plain water, no nutrients—just letting them establish strong roots. Stay Tuned for the Magic This is only the beginning. I invite you to follow along on Instagram and YouTube, where I’ll be sharing photos, videos, and behind-the-scenes updates. Expect plenty of knowledge, tips, and excitement as we navigate this grow together.

Well I love this Ya Hemi hits very strong. Shit is dank and stinky and WILL put you on your ass! Trying out a totally new way of growing for me. Also to help with costs I decided to make a 5 gal tea reactor, to grow out the EM1 which will save me about 75% on all microbe products, and also save on feralization when used in conjunction with foliar sprays. Using grassroots LivingSocial pots and a new full organic mix. Fingers crossed as we get on the ya hemi organic express!
