This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 9 Veg Update We are stepping into Week 9 of vegetation, and things are getting exciting! The plants are thriving—compact, bushy, and growing beautifully. This week, we introduced a SCROG (Screen of Green) net, an essential tool for maximizing yield and optimizing plant structure. Let’s dive deep into the why and how of scrogging: Why Install a SCROG Net Now? Maximizes Light Exposure: The net allows even light distribution across all branches, ensuring every bud site gets the optimal amount of light. Controls Plant Height: By guiding the branches through the net, we keep the canopy even and prevent excessive vertical growth. Enhances Airflow & Reduces Mold Risks: Spreading the plant out increases air circulation, reducing humidity pockets and minimizing risks of mold and pests. Increases Yield: More bud sites exposed to light mean higher-quality flowers and greater overall production. For now, we’re still not using the under-canopy lights, though they will come into play soon. The ICL 300 is positioned strategically, and we will likely move them around as needed later. For now, the focus is on structuring the plants and ensuring they fill out the available space properly. Optimizing Airflow - The Vortex Effect Air circulation is crucial for plant health, and this week, we’ve optimized airflow by positioning the fans to create a vortex effect: Fan Positioning: Each fan is placed at the tent corners, pointing in different directions, ensuring dynamic airflow instead of direct wind hitting the plants. Benefits of a Vortex System: Reduces hot spots and evenly distributes CO₂. Strengthens stems by creating a natural resistance. Prevents stagnant air, reducing mold and pest risks. The extraction system is powered by an AeroFan, connected to the AeroFan Smart Remote FRC1, currently running at 60% speed. This setup efficiently manages humidity and temperature while maintaining optimal air exchange. Current Environmental Conditions & Feeding For now, we’re maintaining the same water schedule and nutrient regimen. The environmental conditions remain stable: Temperature: Holding steady at ideal growth levels. Relative Humidity: Balanced to encourage healthy transpiration. PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density): Kept at optimal levels to support vigorous vegetative growth. CO₂ Levels: Elevated but within safe limits, promoting faster growth. The plants are filling the space beautifully, but we know that the flip to flower is approaching soon! The next phase will depend on how fast they continue to spread, and adjustments will be made accordingly. Closing Thoughts & What’s Next? This week was all about structural optimization—ensuring proper airflow, training the plants with the SCROG net, and keeping everything in balance before the transition to flower. The upcoming weeks will be crucial, as we fine-tune the environment, possibly introduce the under-canopy lighting, and prepare for the flowering stage. A huge thank you to our sponsors Aptus Holland, TrolMaster, CannaKan, Grove Bags, Ziggi Papers, and of course, Zamnesia, Plagron, and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible.

Week 7 begins for Glueberry OG! She's also developed a hunger for more nutrients as temps have increased, so an extra liter of food she got, midway through the week. The OG kush genetics are much more noticeable during this second grow. August 1 - added some close up pictures.

Day 42/56+: A very good week for all the ladies this week. Fully recovered from her sodden roots the GG#4 has bounced back nicely. She looks so beautiful as a plant that the yo,yo's around her are an eyesore now.lol Her classic GG#4 look is bang on to what I expected this strain to be like and I am loving it.She smells so pungent of a lemony , sweet ,dirt kind of aroma. This is the one strain I have wanted to grow for a long time and have somehow always been sidestepped . Now original sensible seeds have put this girl back out in style. my wish has come true and here she sits waiting to fulfill a dream for me. sounds crazy even reading g this back but it gripped me when a friend gave me a nug to play with some time ago. I have grown derivatives and hybrids of her but now have the real deal right here. The tackyness when rolling a joint with this strain is second to none as it crumbles too. Black Ghost O.g is another absolute hash makers dream. Her colas are so covered in trichs that any close up pictures look like the focus is broke on my camera. so fuzzy with it and really solid to touch too. She isn't huge but like her opposite , being in the middle of larger plants has a price. She smells so pungent too up close with a stickiness that get annoying after soap won't even touch it and I can't hold paper for a while. lol Wedding cake has by far been the easiest and most productive of these ladies. She has took the food with no issues or tip burn too. This strain would be a very good strain for a first time grower too. A little training and she recovers and responds very quickly. Her general size and willingness to spread herself wider , shows how well she would take to any training g that you threw at her too. so much good secondary growth for a very nice scrog or a multi topped bush . For my needs and room limits she has been topped once and then her lower nodes , 1and 2 taken out to leave the 3rd and 4th nodes to train out more sideways. She has still responded to this with lots of the would-be popcorn hitting the canopy along with her mains once allowed vertical. This has given a very good sized canopy and overall plant footprint for her to build this great looking girl.. Buds are so frosty now and have a real gritty look more like icing sugar. They are so hard to squeeze and bounce back nicely when I try. Very impressed with her. another 3 weeks and I get to hopefully sample the first of these girls.

Was a little bit challenging for me, due to the outdated nutrients table, mostly on the Flowering period, also little thing like i have to fill more the pots, also with this kind a strain and also with cuts instead of seeds, may be is better to don't do the topping and don't loose time and energy on the vegetative period. At the same time, more or less about the 8th week of flowering it starts to appear something like Alternalia or Overfeed of Phosphor still don't sure. All this issues have impact the grow in terms of the size of the branches and the whole plant, the size of the buds and the hardness. In strictly terms about the strain, the quality is out of mind, amount of resin is crazy, just have to improve my skills and get bigger crops

WE ARE SO CLOSE!! They are incredibly fat now. The Mimosa is for sure going to have to come down a little early but I am not sweating it at all, the trichomes are where they need to be so I may loose a little weight but hopefully not any potency. Bubba is for sure going to be the winner of this grow. I can't say enough about this plant. I have pushed it as hard as I can, it took a heat wave that almost knocked me over it was so hot, and never stopped. I am in love with this plant, wish I had taken some clones.

It’s been over a month of cure and I’ve been dipping into the stash frequently. Love this strain as a mid day smoker or even morning times. It produces a strong but not overpowering cerebral high allowing you to go about your day as planned, just in a better perspective. Very creative enabling and hyperfocus inducing. Smells very sweet and berry like, seems strain review for a few more details

Día 5/10/20 día 29 de floración Acaba de amanecer un nuevo día y todo continúa bien. Seguimos alimentando las nenas con 1,6 de ec y 6,1 de ph. De momento el engorde no es abrumador pero si constante y si nada cambia obtendremos unas buenas flores!! Día 7/10/20 día 31 de floración Hoy nos vemos forzados a retirar algunas hojas que tapaban demasiada luz y que podríamos considerar sumideros de nutrientes. Por otro lado el riego de hoy ha sido solo de agua más zyco kleanse así prevenimos la sobrefertilizacion. Día 9/10/20 día 33 de floración Hoy preparamos un nuevo tanke de nutrición y lo hacemos a 1,75 de ec y a 6,1 de ph. En los siguientes días observaremos cómo se adaptan a esta nutrición x si tenemos que realizar cambios. No te lo pierdas!! Día 11/10/20 día 35 de floración Hoy te reina la semana 5 de floración y lo hacemos preparando un nuevo tanque de nutrición con el tanque totalmente limpio. La solución está a 1.8 ec, 6.1 ph y a 20 grados. La temperatura de la sala se mantiene a 23 6 la humedad al 47% para evitar la aparición de hongos en sus últimos días de maduración , algo que se puede apreciar en el avance de sus flores. No te lo pierdas!!

Cruising through the week. No real issues besides some over watering markings. But flowering sits are booming every hour new growth:). The littles one are thriving along as well. Started adding bud explosion but just a tad nothing crazy. And the usually 5 grams of megacrop and about 1.5 grams of sweet candy. Itll be like this for next 2 weeks. Then I'll bump it up Crusing through the week almost at the end of week 2 of flowering:). So excited bunch of buds sites are coming in. Tons of new growth each day so healthy:) On 2/21 she was fed again. She been growing really great these last few days super happy :) you can see how happy she is under these lights. 2/23 still looking good stretching as expected :). Last day of the week going give her some water later tonight. And then another week of stretching :). Found out there are purple "phenos " in the night queen so this one 100 percent going be one of thems. I am beyond excited for that. :)

I harvested the 2 plants and I’ve got them drying in my 4x8 tent. The temp in my tent is staying between 60F and 64F and humidity is 58%-60% they’ve been drying for 10 days so I’m hoping to get another day or 2 before I start trimming. I’ll post an update once it’s all trimmed and weighed up
