In the first week after switching to a 12/12 light cycle, the plant appears healthy and hasn't shown rapid growth yet, but its green mass is increasing rapidly 🌱. All seems promising for the flowering phase ahead! 😊

My first ever grow I’ve learnt from you tube basic knowledge etc but I don’t feel like I need a warm welcome as weed smokers are probably the nicest people you can meet, she’s coming a long so well, no low stress training as my first grow the nutrients definitely work compare to not using them so that’s a massive difference 👊🏻

Day 76 Flowering: Ir seems we have a longer flowering pheno of the mimosa Lemon !!. She is a huge bushy, heavy calyx laden monster!!. It has been a roller coaster so far with this pheno of the strain. Watching the huge explosion of growth in the stretch period was amazing and I expected huge thick donkey dick colas like grows of others had shown so i was dissapointed for the majority of the flowering period with how she was progressing. Loose, Berry like patterns were all over the long stems so i knew it would be a "wait and see" ending but I now see the potency and beauty of these ripening classy looking queens. Up close ,her colours are really varied and bright with purples, reds, greens and the ripening fire brown pistils. I do not begrudge her another week flowering now and expect she will benefit from it . Her smell is potent lemon/fuel now and very strong. Hopefully she will finish soon. Be safe and well ..

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 !

D50/FD22 - Right, water change day (Evening). Right and proper f**ked off with the light doing me over (See D49/FD21 Comment for that epic story!!!). Where stretch had stopped (I thought), plants are back in the lights AGAIN!!! Blaming the light giving a near 24hour session and some other broken sessions of light over the last 48 hours!!! So had to pull out the extraction as getting LED burn on leaves that are touching! Blowing through the Carbon Filter and can't really smell anything so that's not bad. Everything a wee bit noisier with the fan not being muffled in the tent but need the space and got around a foot. Not prefiltering the fan as I have the new Cloudline to go in for next grow. Hopefully they grow no more and its all thickening buds from here so as I have space for the UVB in there in a week or 2! Slight change in feed. Dropped the roots booster as Wilma can't take any more...its full!!! Dunno how I am still getting 50L of water in there!!! Added PK9/18 (At half strength). Should probs drop the calmag (Or Kind Base down a bit) to drop nitrogen but am still seeing some copper spots here and there that looks like wee calcium deficiencies (Not much, but its there) - I do have some BioBizz CalMag (Which is Nitrogen Free) but it leaves the tank stinking with precipitate and dirties the roots. Think this is the 1st grow I have had where all the stems staying green so plants generally healthy. Cherry Pie still not budding up as quickly or as thickly as the Red hot Cookies but looks like its maybe running only a couple of days behind in growth so no biggie. Few weeks left for it to catch up and surprise me at the end! 😁 Red Hot Cookies is at the races for budding...even seeing pistils colouring a bit already (Dunno if thats good or bad!!!). Now just to make sure I see no signs of re-veg...as per the D49/FD21 comment, I'll be scowling at GeekLight this week. Digital Timer in there now to ensure no bleed through - power gets hard cut like old times. Unfortunately though, when the light comes on via power-on (and not app timer mode), UV & IR comes on too so have a timer set to stop it after 1 min (Its about all the app being used for now!!! Apart from turning on my IV at midnight for 4 hours - which is, I have just seen, still working). Think that's all the s**te I have to talk for now! Happy Growing all!!! 💪

No problems. 👋Good I like her style. In maybe 1-2 weeks she becomes another place in my tent. If its free. Yes a big big tent.... 0,36 m². OK not so big, but hey, its still illegal in my land. And with such a small tent l=small yield im not in the heavy criminal scene. But sry law. Since the first time I smelled weed, not smoked, I knew. THIS IS IT! 24.09. 😛 💪 Nice girl.

Tbh it’s looking alright , definitely stunted in growth and couldn’t really leaf braid or LST so I’m just letting it grow how it wants, might put it on something to raise it up to keep an even canopy, but I’ll do that once I know it’s stopped stretching 👌🏻

🍁Dicas e sugestões? As meninas agradecem! 📸Update de fotos, vídeos e informações diariamente. DAY 22 Estudado muito para ver se aprendo algo sobre NUTRIÇÃO DAS PLANTAS e consigo fazer um bom schedule. Daqui 3 dias começo alimentá-las com nutrientes minerais. Infelizmente preciso esperar os medidores de pH e TDS/EC chegarem. O pior é que acho que elas estão pedindo comida. Ainda bem que são só 3 dias até os medidores chegarem. DAY 23 Amanhã os medidores de EC e pH chegam! Minhas meninas finalmente vão ser alimentadas, estão famintas com certeza. Cresceram muito e comeram o “quase nada” que tinha no substrato. A deficiência de Nitrogenio (N) já pode ser vista nas folhas enroladas 90°. DAY 24 😃 Os medidores de pH e EC finalmente chegaram!! Já podemos começar a alimentação das meninas. Todos muito felizes. DAY 25 Todas meninas devidamente alimentadas. Muita expectativa para saber se elas gostaram dos nutrientes. Elas estão crescendo bem, mesmo com fome (até 1cm/dia). DAY 26 😍Minhas meninas estão crescendo maravilhosamente! Hoje reguei só com água, mas amanhã vou dar mais comida de novo. Escolhi dar alimentação 2 vezes na semana. COP está cada dia mais bonita. C4 foi removida do growbox e agora está na varanda aproveitando a luz natural. Agora são 4 plantas, as 2 mais fortes irão para a floração na barraca. DAY 27 As meninas receberam a segunda alimentação da semana e ficaram muito felizes. Aumentei a rega para 500ml/planta. DAY 28 ✂️ Para aprender e entender um pouco melhor como funciona e como elas se comportam fiz hoje poda de cobertura e defoliation nas plantas C1 e C3. Na C1 eu deixei 4 fan leafs, na C3 eu deixei 2 fan leafs. Espero que elas gostem do novo penteado. 🎃Obrigado por verificar meu cultivo.

This fantastic plant is growing very well, it has stretched a lot in a few days, tomorrow I want to perform LST otherwise I risk that it touches under the led😂😂. I did the topping because the plant has stretched a lot, I performed a small LST in order to make the branches grow more and let the light reach the bottom, the plant responds very well to the solicitations and immediately absorbs all the nutrients.

Week 10 6/9-15 Lemon ladies love the outside. Both are showing yellowing leaves so everyone is getting nutrients with feedings. 6/13 heavy defoliation and limb removal for lemon cake since she's now in flower. Repositioned the scrog after defoliation so the thicker limbs are in the mesh. Drizzle, got light defoliation mostly yellowing fans. Before and after pics and vids. I saw a Japanese beetle on my Lemon Cake and some small holes in the leaves so I added 1/2 tsp neem to the feed solution 6/12. Also started using fish & kelp. I'm still watering 1 gal per plant when I feed. With the heat and humidity, I water daily.

What a season so far. The three photoperiod girls are looking very impressive thus far. Their growth rate has slowed to about a half inch per day, and the signs of early flowering are appearing. 3/6 Sprayed with Mammoth CannControl 3/10 Light top dressing with Bu's Blend + Custom Amendment Mix
