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 !

Esta semana seguí con 18 hrs unos días hasta que hoy le cambie el fotoperiodo a 12/12 y le puse otro foco más. Seguiré así una semana y luego pasaré a nutrientes de flora.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Auto creeper has grown really well. I probably could of harvested her a week ago. She has about 40 percent amber trichromes on tops. Mis judgement on my part. Plus just been super busy. Smells really strong. Heavy frost. Pretty purple hue to buds. I will be back for the smoke report in a few months once it has dried, and cured some. The Mars Hydro light worked great for the grow. Thank you Mars Hydro, and Super Sativa Club 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 I tried to upload my harvest video, and it won't let me. 😔 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Hey my growmies hope everyone is keeping well just a wee update on the garden all looking swell they had a nutrient feed today comprising of: Nukeheads uranium veg: 1tsp/gal Vitalink CalMag: 5ml/gal Urb naturals: 15ml/gal Vitalink BioPlus: 10ml/gal Vitalink PH up: PH'd to 6.8 Anyway I'm rather concerned about the lemon meringue autos as I had a cold snap last week so reckon they've self pollinated but not 100% so I've tried them with another flower nutrient feed to see if they'll spark up if not I'll just wait till harvest and drysift them 💪

04/02/2024 - All the plants are looking healthy but Im suspecting that one of them is a hemafrodite, i would like to read your opinion about it, guys.

This grow was pretty simple ! They went a total of 103 days from seed! Very trichomy dense buds with the smell of Berries vanilla and skunk ! This is a must try for you all Fastbuds has the greats!!!

Our Zamnesia autoflowers have been on their journey through the magical flowering period for a while now, this is the second week of flowering considering that autoflowers still flower spontaneously some sooner than others but all around the 3rd-4th week. . ---- The general environmental conditions are good, the heat has increased a bit more but for the first weeks of flowering it is not a big problem, let's remember to never exceed 27 degrees centigrade in the last 4 weeks to avoid compromising the quality of the flowers. If necessary open the growbox but never let it exceed 27-30 degrees where 30 is already a lot. The positive thing is that as soon as the lights go out the change is already somewhat visible and as autumn progresses we will also improve. The humidity is fluctuating but we try to control it with two dehumidifiers when necessary, pushing both of them possibly not into the growbox but directly into the room. (I dehumidify the room and the air in the growbox should also be dehumidified) --- Here we are at very high levels. I have two Blue Cheese one a little taller and one a little smaller and super resinous already now - The autoflowering ones are good but please, try the latest generation F1 Hybrids. Plant, tall, vigorous, healthy really compliments for this strain. It is forming buds super fast only the Sticky Beast is behind it incredible the photos are only at the 5th week and look a bit ... --- Fertilization program - The fertilizers are always Plagron and I'm following the table that I generated on the site depending on the chosen substrate. Create your own card and follow it, never be presumptuous my friend as I have been in the past, follow the card and look at the plants, not all need the same amount of fertilizer. We have come to the time to give a good dose of iron in the first weeks of flowering, already of race life not sprayed but mixed with fertilizers. We then added the power buds to stimulate the birth and development of flowers. ---- https://plagron.com/it - Power Roots - 1ml/l - Alga Bloom - 4 ml/l - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1ml/l - Vita Race - 5 ml/l - Power Buds 1ml/l is now added i have to tribute more than something to this bad guy! --- The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-pla gron-easy-pack-natural.html --- Now dehumidifier running keeping the range from 45 to 55% // Strain Description // If you were looking for a reliable, versatile and accessible strain, here it is. Blue Cheese F1 Automatic by Zamnesia Seeds uses F1 genetics to produce uniform, rewarding and easy-to-grow plants. This strain stays small, so you will have no problem finding a place to grow it. After just 10 weeks from seed, you can enjoy tasty buds with relaxing effects. - Strain — Get a seed of this fantastic strain - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10673-zamnesia-seeds-blue-cheese-f1-automatic.html - Growbox and air sistem --- https://www.secretjardin.com/ - Light — P2000 - https://www.viparspectra.com - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and music from www.radionula.com - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io

After 5 & 1/2 - 6 days, the girls were trimmed up and “jarred” as I could not go any longer without risking over drying and messing up the cure. Loved growing this strain, MOP 1 having a more deeper smell leaning more to mimosa and citrus & MOP 2 smells more like candy sweet smell leaning more towards orange punch. Pulled 14oz total from 2 girls. 7oz per girl, but MOP1 had the more favourable bud structure, while MOP 2 had the more favourable colour and sweeter smell. Neither girls I would say had any real popcorn buds, even the smallest of the buds lower down were really dense and will only improve a little more with a cure. Love the Gavita for the density 100%. All of the buds are now currently in a plastic airtight bucket ( I know use glass, I don’t have any jars and it’s my only option.) Bucket will be burped a couple times a day to cure and allow the smell to develop some more. I’m sure I will lose a little weight as the cure progresses, but in total as far as placing buds in the bucket the grand total is 14.1 oz. probably around 13.5 oz when all is said and done I’m guessing. I am beyond happy! Thanks for everyone’s help and support on here too! 🤙🏻💚

Good fatty 🤪🤪🤪 31/12 trichomes still white, she surely got another week

Transplant is very close, in a few days she'll be resting in a 10 gal fabric pot ! Unfortunately, a glitch in the page erased all the comments I have been recording here during the past days :( This is Day 44 (24/10/2019) and she looks well recovered from the very many toppings yesterday. Day 45 (25/10/2019) I inserted the plant's small plastic pot into the coco/perlite mix of the big pot to create a niche that fits perfectly for the rootball when I remove the plastic pot tomorrow; spraying the niche with fertilizer solution and root excelurator may help. I hope she'll never realise she has been transplanted. The run off EC from the big pot is 1000 uS/cm and pH about 5.8. I had to perform some operations using tape because the stem near the tip snapped and below the crack, I saw lacerations caused by the twist tie, those need to be fixed right now. Day 46 She's transplanted and the scrog net set up. I'd say that now the journey begins. Day 47 I fertigated by 5.30 am because I had to spend all day working and on Day 48 back to normal, morning fertigation and a little supercropping. The plant has recovered fully from transplant (if she has been ever stressed during the procedure). From now on I'll be fertigating once a day with a liter and a half fertig solution to get a 20-30% run-off. Also, I fertigate other vegging and blooming plants with the effluents I collect.

04/11 Another week. I'm not doing good at keeping up on this this time lol watered in full volume with goodies got Blumat dialed in 04/17 watered in full supplentalnfeed with extra will add in later. same stuff I always use at same rates.ntopped off all res will be out of town for 3 days see how they do. did raise vpd a bit and light. 8 days from flip

Another week with 100 degree days and hazardous air. I'm noticing an explosion of new hairs. This is my second grow so I've never seen this. I'm assuming it's some final push but have no idea what to expect in swell. No idea how long it will last. As of Friday, pistals still white. Trichomes starting to cloud. I notice the new hairs having 8 new hairs at a time which means thry still have to grow into a clump of calyxes. Proper feeding is so important. My first crop didn't swell. Underfed and stressed environmentally near the end.

Cherry Poppers is halfway through flowering week 4. The terps are really coming alive more and more each day. The stretch phase has concluded, and the buds are becoming increasingly resinous. I'll be giving them a final application of Great White with the upcoming feeding.

She's doing great. Beautiful Leafs and a good height for her age. Let's Go veg!🤙🏽

Day 42 — FLO | Mixed SCROG (120×80) Box smells unreal — sticky as hell. Buds are packing weight and the trichs are starting to turn milky in spots, but most are still crystal-clear so I’m letting them cook a bit longer. Canopy is fat, structure solid; loads of resin on every cola — fingers already gluey from checking. Night temps and RH still a pain (cold garage), so I’m watching for any mold hotspots and keeping airflow moving. Overall super happy with how this mixed run turned out so far. Quick state: Lights: 400W HPS + 300W LED (4000K) — plenty of punch. Media: 20 L smart pots, BioBizz soil + myco, organic feeds (BioBloom, TopMax, Green Sensation). Training: SCROG, LST/HST done, minimal tweaks now — mostly letting the flowers fatten. Trichomes: pockets of milky, majority still clear — not chop-ready yet, keep peeping with scope every 2–3 days. Plant-by-plant notes (position → short ID + what I see) Back-left — Wedding Cake (Portland) Very frosty, main colas are dense and sugary. Pistils starting to darken a bit, buds showing early signs of swelling. Trichome coverage is heavy — this one will likely be a resin monster. Watch for the classic sweet/creamy aroma to deepen. Back-center — Kush Crasher Properly turning purple and looking gorgeous. Leaves are showing that cool kush coloration and the colas are chunky and stout. Very sticky, strong nose developing (earthy / diesel kush). Keep temps stable so the purple stays and you don’t stress it too hard. Back-right — AK-47 Shorter, compact nodes but stacking nice little cola clusters. Classic AK structure — not the frostiest but reliable bud density and a punchy terp profile expected. Nice even development under the HPS. Front-left — Double Krush Buds forming tight clusters — a little leaner than the gassier strains but foxtailing less and stacking nicely. Shows vigour and is filling in under the canopy. Good candidate for chunky colas if you let it finish a touch longer. Front-center — Wappa Main cola is a beast — this one’s the show-stealer for bulk. Fat, chunky top cola, already showing awesome density and slight color shift. Expect a heavy, compact cola at chop. Loving how the Wappa is responding to your SCROG. Front-right — Detroit Runtz Longer, slightly looser colas compared to the others but super resinous. Shows those fruity/runts vibes — buds are coating in trichomes and the structure looks promising for aroma/density trade-off. Might finish a touch sooner or later depending on phenotype, keep an eye on the trichs. What I’d do next (short checklist): Keep scope-checking trichs — pockets of milk = start of the final swell. Most still clear → not ready yet. Hold off major defol or HST now; only small tidy-up if airflow spot is tight. Watch RH closely at night — lower if I can (dehumidifier or heater + intake trick). Mold is the enemy at this point. Last heavy feed flush plan: stay conservative — these look on the edge of finishing, so taper nutrients as trichs go 30–50% milky and pistils darken.

Smooth trim and harvest, very time-consuming. I think we spent over 8 days working on the autos. Now I can rest until early September.
