Started their flush this week, hairs are starting to go almost all red on 2 of the 4, 3rd one is starting to turn as well but the 4th largest one that seems to be behind the others is still way behind. I think she got stressed at the wrong time when I broke one of her main branches at the beginning of flowering. But the other 3 are packing it on and really starting to fatten up. Lots of bud sites now with decent nugs. Tricombs are still a week at least out from being full cloudy I believe, but we will see. Guessing we gonna get a 1.5-2 week flush maybe before there ready. Should really ripen up these buds. Still thinking we are gonna push them 60 days at least. Well that’s about it for this week, Cheers! 💨

Day 64: unquestionably in flower. Added one gallon of pH 6.5 water with nutrients. Day 65: No picture. Day 66: yikes! Left her in the dark for 24 hours. Forgot to turn the light back on after day 64's Glamour shots. On the opposite side, the damaged branch is upright. Perhaps it won't be lost. Day 67: looking thirsty. Added one gallon of water with early flower nutrients. One leaf has holes in it (not pictured). Will have to watch for pests. Day 68: Man this plant is thirsty. I don't want root rot so I will wait one more day for watering. One leaf has odd holes in it. It is directly in the path of the fan so I wonder if it is related to that. Day 69: added one gallon of ph6.0 water no nutrients Day 70: Nothing remarkable to report

Aquí tenemos otra de las maravillas de Sweed Seeds, uno de mis bancos favoritos, son capaces de crear autenticas maravillas de la naturaleza y tuve la gran suerte de que su equipo me regalara unas variedades unicas para poder analizar su comportamiento y crecimiento. En este caso tenemos una CRYSTAL CANDY XL AUTOMATICA de una talla alta de 4° generación. Esta genética ha sido desarrollada dentro de un programa del Departamento I+D+i de Sweet Seeds®️ enfocado en la búsqueda de curiosos, exquisitos y sutiles aromas dulces que evocan sensaciones aromáticas de tienda de caramelos. El aroma es muy dulce y afrutado con tonos aromáticos de chicle y gominolas de frutas, con pinceladas de fresa ácida y melón maduro. Gran productora de cristales de aromática resina y hermosos cogollos. Produce plantas que fácilmente superan el metro de altura. Por todo ello y mucho mas iremos viendo su crecimiento y desarrollo 😊 veremos todo lo que esta preciosidad es capaz de darnos MUCHO HUMO 🚬 😃 Día 1: Hemos germinando la planta en un mini-invernadero con una luz LED de 20W y una temperatura de 28°C con HR de 70% Día 2: La plantalula va a un ritmo bastante rápido. Ha cogido 3cm de altura sin problemas 💪 Aun tiene el cascarón que tiene que soltarlo, aunque si no es así se lo quitaré con mucho cuidado 🤭 Día 3: He transplantado a la pequeña a su maceta final dentro del armario de cultivo con un sustrato de Top Crop y Biobizz en una mezcla de 70/30. Todas las macetas cuentan con 3g de Micro Vita para protegerlas de plagas. Hoy tocó riego de 1L de agua con 1ml de Deeper Underground (enrraizador) para que su sistema radicular crezca fuerte y sano. La temperatura del armario es de 30°C con una HR de 60%. He tapado con tierra 2cm el tallo para que crezca con fuerza y no demasiado espigada dejando únicamente 1cm en la superficie. Día 4: Hoy hemos vuelto a regar ya que estoy trabajando con un foco HID de 400W que emite bastante calor y el sustrato absorbe demasiado rapido el agua. Estoy teniendo algun problema en cuanto al control de la HR ya que baja bastante por el calor que hace. Este problema le estoy resolviendo con el humidificador y con un pulverizador para mantener la humedad correcta. Día 5: Sin novedades

Hello 👋 🤗 Ripening word-forming element meaning "beyond" (ultraviolet) or "extremely" (ultramodern), from Latin ultra- from ultra (adv. and prep.) "beyond, on the other side, on the farther side, past, over, across," from PIE *ol-tero-, suffixed form of root *al- "beyond." In common use from early 19c., it appears to have arisen from French political designations. As its own word, a noun meaning "extremist" of various stripes, it was first recorded in 1817, from French ultra, shortening of ultra-royaliste "extreme royalist." There’s no specific formula for boiling the roots. It’s just boiling the roots, nothing out of the ordinary. Here’s a simple step-by-step process to boil cannabis roots during harvest for utmost potency; Step 1: Detach the roots from the substrate without spoiling them. Some will break from the root ball but retain as many roots as possible. Note that the technique is only helpful when you leave the roots attached to the plants when you boil them. Step 2: Soak the roots into boiled water for about 45 seconds. The water should be hot, bubbling hot, if you may. Step 3. Hang dry the plants while still attached to the roots and let them dry until you can cure them From here we ensure consistency, 60F/60RH with strict measures to ensure little fluctuations. for the next 4-7 days. (edit: Took 9 days)

After 10 days of flushing, time to harvest. End of week 8 of flower. Smells amazing. Im drying in tent, cant get the temp under 23 celsius. Thats why Im drying plants without a lot of trim. Buds are full of trichomes, 30h of darkness before harvest. Almost all buds are pretty big, so far sooo good 😅.

Fragrances are really starting to develop this week. Both phenotypes smell differently. Leia has more of an earthy vibe going on so far while Maz smells straight up like candy! 🍬 Leia's yellow pistils are still stretching like crazy and her buds are nice and stacked. The bud structure on the Maz phenotype are very reminiscent of the Skywalker OG that was the mama for this cross. It's really cool to see and appreciate the differences. I changed my watering practices from 1 gallon every 6 days to 1/2 gallon every 3-4 days. The plants have seemed much happier with the change. 😉

🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — 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 time… 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 — 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. 🌿 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 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — 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 — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – 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 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ 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 — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — 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 — 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 — 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, they’re hanging and drying — 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 — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’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: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • 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 • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ 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 — 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 — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 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 — 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. It’s not just dirt — it’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. It’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. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’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 that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 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 — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.
