We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

🍬🍭🌈🍧🍨

Outside temperatures are getting hot, 30+ degrees, meaning hot inside the tent, night temperatures hotter than day in the photo period tent, but Blueberry ghost og is budding beautifully, with purple starting to show, girl scout cookies is looking frosted and stardawg an critical orange punch auto close to harvest, mothers are growing nicely and I should be able to clone the new seeds soon. I have harvested the sour orange auto and some white rhino also, hanging now, will update weight next week 🦏🦏😀😀

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!

Day 51 13.06.2023 Small plant, small feed. I'm still fertilizing at flower week 1 plan with no Nitrogen and the plant shows ZERO defects... rather the opposite. This 3 finger leaves are very unique. This will leave memories. She looks awesome. I like her <3 ###################################################################################################### Day54 16.06.2023 Lady shows signs of Potassium deficiency i ll feed her tomorrow with way more bloom - think 2-3 more

Looks like she'll be growing some serious leaves, some solar panels to soak up all that light. She'll be staying indoors just incase the Blueberry OG ends up being an outdoor male.

week 13. I checked the trichomes and im going to give them another week. My carbon filter is working Overtime.

Day 76. Another week to go

Start of week 2 of flowering. Week 1 went well, but she showed signs of deficiencies and as such she got an extra 2 liters of nutes + water. Shit ton of bud sites on this girl!

Surprise Surprise 🎁. She's turning purple

Week 5 - Trimming And Low Stress Training - the Gorilla Glues are looking nice and healthy. I trimmed and LST 1 of the Gorilla Glue’s and just trimmed the other one for experimental purposes.

Day #21 Defoliation Not topped (left) Topped (right). Super impressed so far.

🎼 Week 13: The Grand Finale Approaches (Flower Week 8) One love growmies, we still not done yet with this BPP auto 😻🤤 I’m giving them like 2 more weeks maximally. The finish line is in sight, and the symphony is reaching its crescendo! This week has been all about patience and classical vibes. I’m still playing B. Smetana - Vltava every morning, and I swear the trichom production is responding to those majestic crescendos. Some buds are becoming rock-hard and the scent is so heavy it almost has a texture. 📈 Final Weeks Strategy: I’m starting to taper off everything. Just pure, clean water from here on out to let the plant finish its cycle naturally in the living soil. No more top-dressing, just letting the biology do the final touch-up. Girls are almost ready to graduate. It’s been a long journey from that first Scrog tucking to this massive sea of purple and green. Trichoms still not even cloudy so stay tuned, the harvest is just around the corner!

Its a high maintnence plant, had some ph drops, which might slowed things down, also explains some spots hwre and there, but it looks healthy, for a mosnter auto, dis a new solution bath, running out of bloom nutes so had to ordee anothee bottle, it eats alot. However, its stacking up, buss are densening up real good and alot has happen since last week so! Happy thoughts hoping it will finish one day hehe. Never grown an auto this big, last dwc one was also a monster just more compact, see you in a week! Ans follow mw on insta! Link in profile

day 21 : irrigation Plant still looking heathy, but only 11cm , i'm no idea if this is normal to outdoor because is my first time growing outside, but i have no problem with that :D . ill buy neem oil to avoid pests 👆 Day 24 she grow up to 15 cm ( 4 cm in 4 days) and spray her with Anasac products (Chilean pesticides used in agriculture) she's growing stronger, 😤 im really happy. she will preflowering soon

…

8/3 I didnt take any pics today. I had an emergency this morning. I will upload pictures tomorrow. I have noticed some slight deficiencies. I decided to up my feed to two gallons twice a week. I'll see how that goes. Heat stressed slurricane is recovering nicely. I need to do a spray if spinosad at some point. One plant has large holes I assume from hoppers or ear wigs. 8/4 We had a tropical storm warning all day yesterday. Things were fine. However it is supposed to be much worse today with that Isiah hurricane coming up the coast. We should miss most of it. I watered as we arent expecting much rain. I'm considering putting tarps around the entire structure before night to block the wind and stake the fence SECURELY in place. I'll play it by ear. 8/5 Waaaawho! Trop storm warning canceled. Plants are in perfect shape. Not a broken branch to be seen. PH is at 6.3 which is much better. 8/6 I did slight LST on one mendo breath. I'm amazed by this garden everyday. Soil PH is down to 6.3 for most plants. I upped my feeding schedule. I fed today. This time I mixed 3 gallons and added beastie bloom to one of the containers. I split that between the two flowering mendo breaths and used the others to feed the rest. I'm hoping my new feeding schedule wont back fire one me. I killed a worm this morning. Despite plants looking good I think it's going to he do for another application of spinosad. I have work to do cleaning the inside of the plants and more LST. This shit certainly is not for the lazy man. Happy growing everyone. Plants were dry in the PM so I watered. 8/7 Plants look great. The two ten gallons look a little over watered but that's fine. It's still real early on the morning anyway. Planning on applying spinosad tonight. Mendo is really going into flower. At least the 2 phenoms that looked the same are flowering. The reveg monster crop is further behind but hey we still have over 14h of light. Applied spinosad to one plant. 8/8 I watered this morning only to have a strange thunder storm drop a whole bunch more water. Oh well. I plan to spray tonight. Broke a small bottom branch. I made it into cuttings. Too burnt too do this right now. 8/9 Its hard to check PH but it seems my PH is around 7.2 for the most part. I've been procrastinating and need to clean out these plants, feed and spray. I'm planning on going back tonight and doining one or all of those. I'll add some pics. PM FED with the above schedule minus micro brew and 1tsp tb. Approximately 3 1/2 gallons. Plan to spray tomm.
