Day 85: First Grow We’re entering a new week, and it’s exciting to see the progress in our first grow. The plants are thriving, and the buds continue to get thicker and frostier. The formation of orange hairs is becoming more pronounced, indicating that we're on the right track. This week, we’ve decided to order a microscope to monitor trichome development more closely. Additionally, we're considering adding CANNAZYM to our feeding regimen to support bud growth and overall plant health. Let’s keep pushing forward and make this a successful grow!

Grow Diary – The Great Migration 🌱 After a journey longer than a seedling’s first root, the ladies have finally moved into their forever homes. Yes, the final pots. The promised land. The retirement villa. That said… they’re currently still sitting in a cozy little buffer zone of light mix. Why? Because the Brotanics living soil underneath is thicc and I’m not trying to traumatize them with nutrients like it’s boot camp. We ease into things around here. Gentle introductions. Slow handshakes. Roots will eventually venture down into the living soil buffet when they feel brave enough. Until then, no pressure. To keep stress levels low and vibes high, the whole setup is now running on full automatic watering. Living soil stays mostly moist, plants stay mostly happy, and I stay mostly hands-off pretending this was the plan all along. Now we wait, watch, and hope for the best

9/12 Sprayed 1 tbsp K Bicarb with 1/4tsp dawn. Only had time to use a half gallon. I've used more but with all the defoliation this seemed to work and I was in a hurry. I can't ask those watching my plants to do actual labor when I'm not home. I wouldn't want anyone working on my plants but me anyway. I defoliated dead stuff. Still have this rusty looking leaves dieing on my ice cream cake. I need to finish a little defoliating. Broke out my 100x scope and checked a few buds. Things are exploding. Another nice sunny day today. Beastie bloom had no negative effects. I'll use it again and I'll probably use cha ching as well. Went back down to defoliate a little more. I'm getting excited. Still a lot of work left but it's nice to see the progression. Had to cut out a small nug last night that looked like it might start to rot. It was probably fine but I wasn't taking chances. It's so dank and crystally. One of my mystery seeds in the 5 gallon will be done soon. Milky trichs and hard as a rock. Im hoping they will beef up a bit. Little to no amber but things are progressing so fast. I mean nights are in the 40°'s. 9/13 No need to water as it had rained so much the bags need to dry out. Sunny day today. Plants are doing great. Buds increase in bulk on the daily. Took a few pictures and defoliated what needed it. A dog was added to the grow for security. It hasn't gotten used to me yet but it's extremely loud and annoying. Nothing will get past it though. I tried to last night. I shut down the motion sensors informed the other growers (except the person who's shift it was to watch) and I couldn't make it down there on foot let alone a vehicle. Hope the dog liked me but it's certainly useful. It APPEARS we will be having some good weather so I'm excited. I think my plants will be able to finish properly. At least I hope. Either way if I have to harvest early do to the weather so he it but I'll cross that bridge when it comes. Plan to do a preventative BT spray this week. 9/14 FED TODAY. LOWERED GROW BIG TO HALF TBSP. AND AGAIN used 1/4 TBSP Beastie Bloom. Buds are swelling with the sunshine that we've had. I defoliated what needed it and found more dead foliage. It's so weird this damage. I'm pretty sure it's earwigs but the only bother new shoots so that's a good thing. Things are getting close and looking good. I need to do another app of BT. I heard a storm may be coming I'll need to check the weather. 9/15 After a few good days of weather we are in for some rain. Supposably a big storm but it looks like I won't get the worst of it. No water obviously. Something (probably earwigs or jpn beetles) eating or lollipopping lower things. They seem to leave flowers alone. It's just low shoots. Everything is flowering incredibly. I checked trichs on one of my mystery seeds and it looks done. I'm considering taking it. It's in my garage for 24 hrs of darkness and to avoid rain until I make my decision. I also took the two lowest branches off on DJ Short blueberry to taste test and see where I'm at. I probably shouldn't but o do this every year. It will be good to try the mystery bud before I harvest it all. It's just a little guy but the buds are rock hard and with the weather and pm and stuff I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. UPDATE: APPARENTLY WE HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WARNINGS WITH GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL. I can move the other little ones in the garage but everything else is firmly rooted and have taken a beating already. I pray things will be ok. 9/16 No damage from the ridiculous storm last night. I need to spray ASAP. I have a fungal infection with just a few weeks to go. Looks like PM but I know some is a different fungal issue. I'll probably use the k bicarb or citric acid. So far no bud damage or damage up top. The things the earwigs ate were low like the lollipoped lower limbs. It's getting so close. I've been checking trichs and they look great but the buds have some filling out to do. 9/17 DID K BICARBONATE TREATMENT THIS AM. I didn't even look to see if I needed to water. Fuck. buds were soaking wet though so it must've rained. I have to go back down anyway to add a couple strings and do a little more defoliating. Did a treatment with k bicarb this morning.. 1 tbsp with dawn in a half gallon sprayer. I also need to address this earwig problem. They are ravaging some secondary lower branches and Im sure they are spreading disease. I only have a few weeks left and I want the best quality I can possibly get. I plan to put gorilla tape on the outside of the grow bag (double width) and petroleum jelly on the stems. That way they can't climb the bag. If they are in the soil of the bag hopefully the jelly will stop them. I'll also try beer as I've heard that works. I really don't want to resort to borax. Oh and I may have had a visitor last night. I'll have to check the cams. Nothing on the ones I checked but I have some game cams at different angles I haven't checked yet. It was probably just a nocturnal animal. Great to know that the dog announces though. This was at like 12:30 and I was out quick. I only have a few more weeks. I hope the cannabis gods are with me. 9/18 Whatever is eating my plants (earwigs I assume) are progressing from lower secondary or tertiary branches and new shoots to small buds. Looking at trichs some plants look ready. One seedling and the blueberries. I'd like the blueberries to go longer but I'd risk losing them. Fungal and mold issues aren't the greatest either. I was hoping for a big swell but if the weather stays raining and foggy like this it might be better to harvest a little early. I got a second opinion this morning and I'm leaning on taking the seedling and at least the one blueberry with the worst damage that dropped most of its leaves. I'll see how the bottom branch smokes this afternoon and make my decision then. Didn't feed for fear of lockout or if decide to cut. UPDATE: After the second consult with a different local grower I decided to harvest the blueberry that was furthest along and dropping it's leaves. It was done. Luckily it had been flushed with all this sheet rain we've gotten. It rains hard as I speak. Last year I think I had two strings the length of the huge garage and that lasted me all year. This one plant took an entire string to itself. If the weather cooperates this will be a good day. I also flushed the mystery seed I was going to take hoping it might fill out but trichs are very Amber and the bud is DENSE. Not risking mold or insect damage or theft. This took hours to harvest this ONE Blueberry plant. I had to harvest limbs. This was when I could see damage best. I also am curing the buds from the lower branch I took earlier and the other bud that is done. I plan on testing it out tomorrow. I could smoke now but Im already burnt and tired and want to try this with a clear head. I can't believe how long this took. One Big and one little down 10 more to go. Phone died so I couldn't take any pictures.

Overall very pleased. All the leaves are dark green and the plants are looking very happy. I’m giving them a couple more days before they are flipping into flower. All of them handle defoliation really well but Somango is a little to bushy to really do any organized Lst. I will try after Defoliation next week and give her a bit more surface area.

The plant is doing really well. We are progressing at a normal pace. There isn't much else to report this week. These weeks are always slow and pretty boring. I'm just keeping the medium sufficiently watered. Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25: I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 1ml Flourish PH: 6.4 PPM: 318 16.9.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 1ml Flourish PH: 6.5 PPM: 308 The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank you for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞🧡

– Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron - Semaine : Dernière semaine de floraison (F+9) Variété : Runtz (Zamnesia) Système : Hydro Ebb and Flow Nutrition : Plagron + Terra Aquatica (FinalPart + Green Sensation) Résumé de la semaine Cette dernière semaine de floraison a été dédiée à un rinçage optimisé pour finaliser le cycle de la Runtz de Zamnesia, une variété légendaire issue du croisement de Zkittlez et Gelato. Le système hydroponique Ebb and Flow s’est révélé ultra-efficace, permettant une absorption précise des nutriments et une gestion parfaite du climat, grâce à mon fidèle allié Trolmaster (clin d’œil à eux pour la gestion au poil du climat et des lumières !). Les cinq phénotypes cultivés ont montré une diversité incroyable en termes de structure, taille, couleurs et odeurs, rendant ce run visuellement et olfactivement spectaculaire. Voici les détails de cette semaine cruciale. Paramètres environnementaux Pour maintenir un VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) cible de 1,1 kPa, essentiel pour maximiser la production de trichomes tout en minimisant les risques de botrytis, j’ai ajusté les paramètres suivants : Température : 23-24 °C (jour) / 18-20 °C (nuit) Humidité relative : 45-50 % (optimale pour la fin de floraison, réduit les risques de moisissures tout en favorisant la résine) VPD : Maintenu à 1,1 kPa grâce à un contrôle précis via Trolmaster, qui a régulé l’humidificateur et l’extraction pour un équilibre parfait. Éclairage : PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) : 800-1000 µmol/m²/s, ajusté pour éviter le stress lumineux tout en maximisant la photosynthèse. DLI (Daily Light Integral) : 40-50 mol/m²/jour, atteint avec un cycle de 12h/12h sous LEDs full-spectrum, optimisé pour une fin de floraison explosive. Ces conditions ont été idéales pour pousser les plantes à produire des têtes denses et résineuses tout en gardant le botrytis à distance. Nutrition et Rinçage Pour cette dernière semaine, j’ai réduit l’EC de 2,45 mS/cm à 1,3 mS/cm pour amorcer un rinçage efficace, tout en évitant un choc trop violent pour les plantes. J’ai utilisé : Terra Aquatica FinalPart : Pour mobiliser les nutriments restants dans les plantes et optimiser la maturation des têtes. Plagron Green Sensation : Ajouté en faible dose pour booster la production de terpènes et de résine, tout en maintenant la qualité gustative. Le rinçage a été effectué avec une eau osmosée (EC initiale de 0,4 après ajout de Ca/Mg) et un pH ajusté à 5,5-6,0, parfaitement adapté au système hydroponique Ebb and Flow. Cette approche a permis de nettoyer les sels résiduels tout en préservant l’intégrité des trichomes et des arômes. Le système Ebb and Flow a brillé par sa capacité à fournir une irrigation homogène, assurant une fin de cycle sans stress pour les plantes. Observations des phénotypes Les cinq phénotypes de Runtz ont été un véritable festival pour les sens : Structure et taille : Certains phénotypes sont restés compacts (80-100 cm), idéaux pour l’indoor, tandis que d’autres ont atteint 130 cm avec une structure plus élancée. Couleurs : Des teintes vibrantes allant du vert vif aux nuances pourpres, avec des pistils orange flamboyants et une couche de trichomes givrés qui scintille sous les LEDs. Odeurs : La diversité terpénique est incroyable ! Selon les phénotypes, on passe d’arômes sucrés de melon et de fraise à des notes plus funky de fromage affiné ou même une touche surprenante de pieds (merci au caryophyllène et au limonène pour ce spectacle olfactif !). Les trichomes sont à leur apogée : environ 70 % laiteux, 20-25 % ambrés et encore 5-10 % transparents, signe que la récolte est imminente. L’observation au microscope révèle des têtes de trichomes bien gonflées, prêtes à offrir un maximum de puissance et de saveur. Les principaux terpènes identifiés (limonène, caryophyllène, linalool, humulène) confèrent à la Runtz son profil aromatique complexe : fruité, sucré, avec des touches terreuses et épicées, parfait pour une expérience sensorielle mémorable. Conclusion Ce run de Runtz pour l’Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron a été tout simplement exceptionnel. Les plantes sont magnifiques, avec des têtes denses, colorées et débordantes de résine. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille, du contrôle du climat (merci Trolmaster pour la précision chirurgicale !) à la gestion des nutriments avec Plagron et Terra Aquatica. La diversité des phénotypes a ajouté une dimension passionnante à ce projet, chaque plante étant une œuvre d’art à part entière. Un immense merci à Zamnesia et Plagron pour l’organisation de ce concours, qui a permis de mettre en lumière le potentiel de cette génétique incroyable et des produits de qualité. Vivement la récolte et le curing pour découvrir le plein potentiel de ces beautés ! 🌱🔥 #EternityGrowCup #Zamnesia #Plagron #Trolmaster

Encarando ya la recta final. Calculo que en una semana y unos pocos días más cómo mucho cortaré. Al principio de semana di su última comida con Ec baja y a mitad de esta hice el lavado de raíces, drenando un agua con Ec ya aceptable, con lo que presagio que va a tener buen nivel de sabor. Les estoy haciendo pasar ya bastante frío, buscando un extra de resina; con lo que se está llenando de colores. Estaba un tanto preocupado con los cogollos porque no los notaba demasiado apretados, pero en esta semana lo han hecho y mucho. Espero esta semana terminen de apretar como rocas. Comienza la cuenta atrás, tic tac, tic tac…

Hey guys, late into week 5 finally have some time to tend to the gals. It's been almost a week since I last watered them. We had 2 thunderstorms roll in so that kept the ladies quenched but when i went to check them out today most of them were pretty dry. Before I watered them, I topped off the soil level with some more promix hp and started our first topdressing. As usual 2tbs per gal @ 70/30 ratio of 444 to 284. I'm my case 21tbs to 9tbs. After that I water them with 50mL of molassas in 5gal of dechlorinated water with each plant raking about 3L of water. I also defoliated some under growth and to clean up the canopy to allow more light to penatrate prime grow sites. Last week I noticed some fungus gnats flying around, so I put up yellow fly traps with bamboo skewers (best way imo). I also did a preventive maintenance and watered the girls last week with neem oil soil drench to kill off any larvae or eggs that may have been laid. So good so far, as the traps did not have many gnats on them. Other than the usual pm items done, the ladies are taking off quite fast, so I need to stay ontop of things when I can! Hope to see you on the next update!

Session guérilla 2022, on croise les doigts. Le spot est difficile d'accès et sans eau a proximité, mais on est motivé.
