W9.D1(60) ๐ŸŒธโฐ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ง I think the time has come to transition to flowering. ๐ŸŒธ As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights โฐ before, and I know that the standard is to switch to 12/12. However, I'd like to experiment with reducing the lighting by 30 minutes each day this week, aiming to reach 14/10. ๐ŸŒŸ This gradual approach will let us ๐Ÿ‘€ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care ๐Ÿ”ง. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ“‰โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฒ Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. ๐ŸŒฟ Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the ๐Ÿ”ช blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual ๐Ÿ“‰ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh โœ‚๏ธ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach ๐Ÿคฒ, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for. W9.D2(61) ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ“‰โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Nothing special is happening. ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ As the days continue, I am reducing the light ๐ŸŒž hours and gradually trimming the excess โœ‚๏ธ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our ๐ŸŒฑ champion. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŒฟ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. ๐Ÿค” It's a delicate balance of stress ๐Ÿ’ก and growth, where each cut ๐Ÿšซ might impact her readiness to ๐ŸŒธ bloom. ๐Ÿ โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”— But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. ๐Ÿ  Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip โœ‚๏ธ boosts the vitality ๐Ÿ’ช of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links ๐Ÿ”— to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ’งโž•๐Ÿ”™ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. ๐Ÿ”„ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence ๐Ÿ’ง is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing โž• Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ฆ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. ๐ŸŒฑ With her vigorous ๐ŸŒฟ growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. ๐ŸŒŸ Her ambition to explore beyond the ๐Ÿ” confines of her ๐Ÿ“ฆ environment is both astounding and challenging. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒŸ I'm not sure how I'll manage it, but the example set by @Chamomile with his compact yet extremely effective growing method is truly inspiring. ๐Ÿค” While pondering this, the innovative ๐Ÿ’ก approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, ๐ŸŒฑ greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of ๐Ÿ‘ applause for its efficiency and ๐ŸŒŸ brilliance. W9.D5(64) ๐Ÿ•’๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. ๐Ÿ•’ Having adjusted the ๐ŸŒž light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we ๐ŸŒฑ observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage ๐ŸŒธ right before our ๐Ÿ‘€ eyes. W9.D6(65) ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ”„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. ๐ŸŒฑ As time ๐Ÿ”„ unfolds, our grow box ๐Ÿ“ฆ becomes increasingly vibrant with ๐ŸŒฟ lush greenery, brimming with the ๐Ÿ’š essence of vitality.

On day 1 the PH of the reservoir is 6.1. I changed out my reservoir. My tallest cola is 3.25" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 7"-9" from the light. I'm still getting runoff on my right plant at night maybe the low humidity drying out the pots too quick? I decided to lower the flow rate by 1 carrot (total of 2 carrots tightened since first runoff event). The leaves are starting to produce more trichomes :) On day 2 the PH of the reservoir was adjusted the PH from 6.2 to 6.1. My tallest cola is 3.25" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 7"-9" from the light. I'm starting to smell terps when the leaves are rubbed it and smells good :) On day 5 I raised my reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2. I increased my blumats flow by 2 carrots. I dropped my new light on my plants splitting the trunk of the right plant. I used duct tape on the wound and the plant seems okay so far. I smashed a few top colas accidentally and hope they will be OK. I have decided to install the new light after this run when there are no plants in the box. On day 6 The reservoirs PH is 6.2. I installed my new AC infinity carbon filter and increased inline airflow to keep up with smell and humidity/transpiration.. The plants are smelling very nice. The trichomes are increasing and the buds are growing in size. So far the damaged plant shows no negative consequences ๐Ÿ˜… On day 7 the reservoirs PH was 6.0 so I adjusted it up to 6.3. I increased the flow rate of my blumat on the right plant by one more carrot bringing it back to its original state before there was a runaway. I turned off my dehumidifier and will monitor my humidity/temperatures going forward.

Did a good thinning out today, took some more clones she is a great plant to clone from grows well under my mars hydro TSL2000. I tied her back a little further took off all the big fan leaf ๐Ÿ and trimmed up to 4th node. I added 1gal of ro water with 1tbs of big bloom, 1tbs of molasses, 1/2 tsp kelp, 1tsp MykosWP, top dressed with 3 tsp magnesium sulfate and 3 tbs of alfalfa meal. She is very strong odor of skunk cross with a slight fruity smell but strong nonetheless.

7/26/2021 - 1st week of flower. - Mites are super active on the layer of trim I left on the soil surface. They're not on the actual plant, so I'm much more confident in thinking they're beneficial soil mites.

๐ŸŒพ Harvest Day โ€” The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup ๐ŸŒพ Days 72โ€“73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been โ€” and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because timeโ€ฆ it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place โ€” a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. ๐ŸŒฟ The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12โ€“13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry โ€” not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process โ€” a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones โ€” just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 โ†’ #4 โ†’ #3 โ†’ #2 โ†’ #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them โ€” only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Cure Begins โ€“ Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58โ€“61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. Weโ€™re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process โ€” the cure โ€” is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. โ˜€๏ธ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem โ€” everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive โ€” a growerโ€™s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. โš–๏ธ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent โ€” thatโ€™s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends โ€” we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or โ€œquality control testingโ€ along the way. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. ๐ŸŒฟ The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, thereโ€™s a part we donโ€™t always see โ€” a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup โ€” a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation โ€” light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, theyโ€™re hanging and drying โ€” and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value โ€” both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they donโ€™t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: โ€ข Friedelin โ€“ known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects โ€ข Pentacyclic triterpenoids โ€“ believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions โ€ข Alkaloids โ€“ some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties โ€ข High levels of fiber and tannins โ€“ excellent for digestive and skin applications ๐Ÿต Root Medicine โ€” Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: ๐ŸŒฟ Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying โ€ข 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots โ€ข 3 cups of filtered water โ€ข Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20โ€“30 minutes โ€ข Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste โ€ข Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation ๐Ÿฒ Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing โ€ข Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth โ€ข Simmer for 2+ hours โ€ข Strain before serving โ€ข This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin โ€ข Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2โ€“3 hours) โ€ข Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm โ€ข Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus โ€ข Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas ๐Ÿ› Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief โ€ข Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth โ€ข Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering โ€ข Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension โธป The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle โ€” nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX โ€” this wouldnโ€™t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. ๐ŸŒฑ The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it โ€” giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. Itโ€™s not just dirt โ€” itโ€™s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. Itโ€™s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ’ ๐ŸŒพ The Benefits of Reusing Soil: โ€ข Sustainability โ€” less waste, less environmental impact โ€ข Cost-effective โ€” no need to constantly buy fresh medium โ€ข Soil memory โ€” rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure โ€ข Nutrient potential โ€” amended soil still holds value for many plants โ€ข A deeper connection โ€” a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, weโ€™re not just being resourceful โ€” weโ€™re believing in tomorrow. Weโ€™re trusting that what weโ€™ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe thatโ€™s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฑ Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope โ€” the cycle continues. And itโ€™s beautiful. ๐ŸŽ‰ The Final Touches Fun fact: โ€ข Trimmed on May 25 โ€ข Photo shoot on May 26 โ€ข This report: May 27 โ€ข Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned โ€” the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. โธป ๐Ÿ’š Thank You To Zamnesia โ€” your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

Week # 9 Hello everyone. The plant has been rinsed with water for 2 days, my ph is 6.3. As can be seen in the photos, the buds have grown significantly in size. I am really not interested in achieving the largest quantities, but rather creating a top medicinal product. Because of that, I prefer organic products. You still don't see any orange-red threads on the flowers, and the process of crystallization is slow. But the scent is finally sweet and fruity. I have 2 other strains in the tent that are probably ripe 1 week earlier. I made a self-made harvest cabinet.The dimensions are 150x50x50 and runs with my old ventilation 280m3. This allows me to use my tent only for growing. And to be able to react better to the ripening time of the plants. The Fox ๐ŸฆŠ

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50ยฐ F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of water to be fed. Day 1 she was inside and I watered .5 gallons. Day 2 she was inside and I watered .5 gallons. Day 3 This girl will be going back outside. She was inside day 1 and 2. The thunderstorms, rain, clouds, and humidity were more than I was willing to expose her to. I watered .5 gallon today Day 4 we had a high temperature of 79 and partly cloudy skies. This cooler weather has been nice. I watered .5-1 gallons from the hose. I noticed a small amount of powdery mildew on the lower leaves. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 85ยฐF. Skies were cloudy to overcast with off and on rain until noon. Then partly cloudy in the afternoon. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 86ยฐF, a short rain shower, with cloudy to partly cloudy skies. Watering done today by the rain.

Hello Everyone, I didn't felt like updating last week, sorry for that. It was like 25 to 30 degrees celcius for the last time this summer. I enjoyed the beach, bars and restaurants. The plants had a good sunny week as well. Photos for this week are made at the end of week 5 of flowering. 3 of 6 plants are ready for harvest. Somehow it didn't suprised me, the plants stayed small and developed fast. I was thinking about a flowering time of 7 to 8 weeks but those 3 only needed 5. Why? Well they didn't drink that fast anymore, pots stayed heavy for a long time, all the Pistils on the buds started to get brown and the thc was looking milky and the buds are full with it. Gues i will keep flowering the other 3 for 1 or 2 weeks. Lets see how it goes. I did run out of PK 13-14 last week and Green sensation at the end of this week, So a kind of good timing. I will just increase the base nutrients a little bit to compensate it. I know many growers just growing with base nutes and get good harvests as well lol. As long as the 3 remaining plants like to drink their feedings fast and the Pistils stay white, I will keep giving them nutes for another 1-2 weeks. When they start to struggle I will start flushing. Until next week!
