Last week I thought that the 50cm distance between the light and the top of the canopy was ok. But this week, I get some signs of light burns on every plants and I decided to put it back to 60cm. This distance seems to work best for this grow. I think the Cashew Kush shows some slight signs of nitrogen deficiency so I added a bit of BioGrow (1ml/l) and hope it will help. For more info about the "Soil people", see week 9. As part of the "Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge" contest, I received a free Tent-X controller, a MBS-TH Humidity/temperature/light sensor and a LMA-14 light control adapter. I requested them on sunday and get them on thursday so it was super fast, thank you @TrolMaster_Europe ! 👌 ------------------------------- Controller + MBS-TH review ------------------------------- The Tent-X controller combined with the MBS-TH sensor provides information about temperature and humidity. The light detector of this sensor is used to trigger the day/night mode of the Tent-X controller but doesn't measure light intensity (you need another sensor for that). I've tried to connect the controller to the phone app and it seemed to work. I will not use this function because it requires to connect the controller to the internet with an Ethernet cable and I don't have an Ethernet plug in my grow room. I set-up a rudimentary fixation system to hang the controller and the sensor since I'm not growing in a tent, but it works haha. Now, I can make my measurement in the center of the canopy instead of making them just above the ground. ---------------------------------------- LMA-14 light control adapter review ---------------------------------------- This adapter allows you to control your light via a RJ45 cable. I'm not using it because my light and my fan are synchronized and my fan cannot be controled by a RJ45 cable. I don't want to have a timer for the fan and a controller for the light. I just use the timer for both. However, Trolmaster sells some plug sockets that can be controled by RJ45 cable so you can control everything with your Tent-X controller.

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!

Empezamos la segunda semana. Ayer día 5 de Febrero se realizo un trasplante de las 9 plantas con mejor aspecto a tiestos de 6-7 L que tenia por casa que he decidido aprovechar. Son las 9 que quedan en el armario y con las que trabajare, de las 13 con las que empecé. En cuanto a la iluminación la semana pasada la acabamos con 50W, para esta semana en adelante y durante todo el crecimiento la dejaremos en 100W. Ciclos de 18 horas de luz y 6 horas apagado. Pocos riegos de momento solo con Rhizotonic ñ, 0,5 ml por litro. Empezaremos a añadir Plagron Alga Grow durante esta semana y pulverizaremos con Plagron Vita Race. Las 4 plantas restantes han ido a exterior veremos como responden. Disfruten y buenos humos. Gracias por leer. Tupskywalker

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Die Buds sind zu klein, ich hätte die unteren alle entfernen müssen.. Zudem war ja alles ein Experiment ohne Dünger am Anfang, das war ein Fehler. Trotzdem riecht und klebt sie massiv und wenn man die Buds anfasst muss man sich 3x die Hände waschen.. Wird zu Rosin verarbeitet, am 25.2.muss ich ernten ob sie fertig ist oder nicht da ich in den Urlaub fahre.

Girls start from left Pineapple#1 - WhiteW#1 - WhiteW#2 - Pineapple#2. 59 days after germination. Change feeding Pineapple E. /Big Bud for Overdrive/. White Widow still on Big but but on the next week I wanna change as well. Watering cycle /Feeding - Feeding - only water - Feeding - Feeding - only water/. I wonder about flushing Pineapple on the next week. White widow I will keep longer. I'm really enjoy of Mars Hydro sp250 and mix of two nutrients company. Bought WhiteWidow need more time but can't wait for result. Pineapple start smelly nice. I wanna cure longer for better somke, maby 5-6 month. For the next sezon I really need second Sp250.

Th kids are looking good. I flushed the 3 gal pots I just had a feeling something was off and I decided to check the run off. It was at 3200 - 3600 ppm. Wu-Tang hoe!! Gaga! So I corrected it and brought it down to 1000. I’m flipping this Saturday at midnight and the will wake up on Christmas Day at noon. I called into the Heavy T grow show to ask about the ppm issue and got some good info. I also got hooked up with some mission fertilizer, smart pots and hydroguard. Then the head grower from a local dispensary was on the show and told me to roll through and he hooked me up with 5 boxes of mills Nutrients and 3 clones. 1- Martian Candy 1- Sherbet Of fire #3 1- future x Cookie Crisp cross, the second 2 are crosses the homie with s working on. So now m pretty stocked to be running those. I might have to get another light. I was only planning on running 3 plants with 2-300w led lights. Now I have 6 plants. I’m going to throw them straight to flower with the others. I don’t have another tent to veg them in. So I’m going to put them in 1 gal pots and see how they do like that. I watered the clones yesterday with Mills Start-R and the future x cc and sherbet on fire are looking way better now. They are praying. But the Martian Candy is still a lil droopy. I foilar fed with the Mills Vitalize on Saturday morning 1 hour before lights on. I’m going to feed them with the bloom ultra yellow bottle while they sleep for 36 hours. It supposed to force them into flower and it is supposed to make a flowers female flowers. This shot is expensive though. I got turned onto it form the homie and he swears by it. It could cause early finish too. I found it in Carson at a hydro shop for $30 a liter. Usually $75 a bottle. They are liquidating because nobody buys it anymore because of the price. It’s only used for the first 2 weeks of flower and after that you don’t use anymore so it’s expensive considering you only use 2 weeks. But I scored. I’m going to switch my nutes during flower and use the Mills to see how that works. Its also a very expensive line. But I got blessed so I’m goIng to see what all the hype is. Damn this is crazy I’m excited to see my first plants bud! I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy new year.

Salutations, fellow cultivators! It's time for our Week 3 Veg Report, and let me tell you, the Epsilon F1 is turning into a botanical masterpiece. This week has been all about finesse and guidance as we've introduced some gentle training techniques to keep this green goddess on the path to greatness. First things first, let's talk about the art of bending and guiding. Picture this: a ballet of leaves and stems, a choreography where we gently encourage our Epsilon F1 to embrace the contours of the pot. I've been bending and guiding her with the precision of a dance instructor, keeping her close to the soil as if whispering, "Roots, meet Earth." Why, you ask? Well, my friends, it's all about maximizing exposure to light and ensuring an even canopy. By keeping her low and wide, we're promoting more bud sites and creating a lush, green carpet of potential harvest. It's like sculpting a masterpiece with each bend and twist. Now, let's talk about the environment. Room temperatures and humidity remain the same as last week – a cozy haven for our growing beauty. Consistency is key, and our Epsilon F1 is thriving in this stable atmosphere. Happy plant, happy grower! As for the feast, we're sticking to the nutrient regimen that has brought us this far. The Aptus Holland super soil mix continues to work its magic. Micromix Soil, Substrate Buffer Powder, All-in-One Pellet – it's like a gourmet meal for plants, and our Epsilon F1 is dining like royalty. And let's not forget the star players – Mycor Mix, the microbial maestro, ensuring our plant has the best support crew in the root zone. These endomycorrhizae are like the backbone of our operation, fostering a symbiotic relationship that's pure botanical harmony. Our Epsilon F1 is not just growing; she's thriving, loving every minute of the training sessions and nutrient banquets. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for providing the genetic canvas for this masterpiece, and major props to Aptus Holland for crafting nutrients that turn our grow space into a botanical symphony. Stay tuned, dear readers, as we continue this journey of horticultural excellence. The Epsilon F1 is on track to be a green goddess of epic proportions. Happy growing, and may your gardens be evergreen! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey
