Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me! If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my growing techniques or insights based on your own experiences, please feel free to share them in the comments below. Let's grow together!

Missed week 2 but the grow is now fully engaged. The big board helps as can have individual plants nearly under a light each.... as brought back the SF2000. The 90 degree red clips really helped in getting a flat top of flowers. Trying to clone the lower branch cuttings...some in peat pots...some in a glass of water. I have to admit the stretch was.....minimal and if I grow this again I will veg to 7-8 weeks for bigger plants.

Harvested at day 116, had some problems of high inflow pH at week 11 that has a little decreased the final harvest, in my opinion. But I'm proud of my job cause that was the ONLY little problem in the entire grow. Keep Growing and learning everyday 🙏🏻💚🤞🏼🕉️

Well 150 days wasted down the drain. I woke up and decided to check the girls this morning and found a fun Webbie surprise across the bugs. Looks like she managed to find some spider mites along the way. Had to biohazard the entire house and all of the plants. She got fed to the pigs because we had to dispose of that bitch ASAP. Been a long morning since we had to do all of the laundry I had to bleach all of the tent it’s a hard lesson to learn. I guess I must’ve gotten lazy keeping everything safe and sanitize between harvest. Lesson learned all around. Thankfully it’s not my first rodeo with these so we got the green cleaner on the way for the rest of the ladies.Been a long sad morning

🌸 Eternity Grow Cup — Week 16 (Flower Week 5) 🌸 What a week it has been in the garden! The bounce back from last week’s defoliation has been nothing short of spectacular. The girls took it like true champions — vibrant, strong, and absolutely loving their environment. Episode 19 on YouTube will shows it best in 4K: a garden covered in frost, energy, and pure beauty from every angle. From top canopy to undergrowth, everything is stacking up, sparkling, and showing off. 🌱 Feeding & Nutrients Update: This week’s reservoir was all about precision and balance. We made a powerful blend designed to meet their blooming needs with care and control. Here’s the nutrient mix: • Breaking Powder: 24g per 50L • All-In-One Liquid • Regulator • System Clean (because clean roots are happy roots) • Green Sensation for that extra bloom push We started with: • EC: 0.04 • pH: 5.94 • Temp: 19.5°C And after everything blended beautifully: • EC: 2.33 • pH: 6.2 • Temp: 20.7°C Perfectly balanced. The girls responded immediately — color, posture, and trichome production have all visibly improved. CO₂ — Controlled and Conscious: Our TrolMaster MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor is a silent hero in the tent. With real-time readouts, we’re always in tune with the environment, keeping CO₂ dialed in just right to boost growth without overdoing it. This sensor has given me the confidence to tweak and learn, keeping everything optimized for life. 🔆 Lighting & Spectrum Tuning: Sharing is caring — not just in smoke (😉) but in photons too. And this grow is a masterclass in light distribution: • Model 1s above are delivering that precision-tuned spectrum. • We’re currently using more deep red and far red, lowering the white and boosting UV — perfect for this flowering stage. • Below, the ICL 300s are creating magic. They’re lighting up the underside and giving those lower buds the love they deserve. Bottom to top — the light is reaching, and it’s showing. Photos this week include each of the four spectrum channels on display — white, far red, deep red, and UV — because this garden is more than just growth… it’s a symphony of light and life. 💨 Airflow, Structure, and Style: Let’s not forget airflow — our system is dialed. Between extraction, the AeroFan, and vortex placements, everything circulates like a dream, supporting this insane terpene profile and trichome party. We are dancing in the rhythms of harmony and structure. 🌟 Final Notes: Each of the Runtz phenos #1–5 is a queen in her own right. They’re developing character, expressing personality, and it’s such a joy to witness it unfold. This week is proof of what happens when care, science, and love combine. Thank you to all the growers out there following this journey. Your support means everything. Huge gratitude to GrowDiaries, Plagron, Zamnesia for this Eternity Cup and for all,to all my sponsors, and to you reading this. Lovers, haters, dreamers — we’re all growing together.

Oogsttijd 🌲 Werkelijk waar boven verwachting, dikke vette keiharde wiettoppen. Zamnesia strains blijven me verbazen. Dit is zijn harde toppen zoals een indica, maar met de lange lengte van een sativa, heerlijk. Ze vertoont paars, roze en oranje tinten en ruikt zoet. Ik heb de plant in zijn geheel opgehangen en zal de resultaten delen wanneer de wiettoppen droog zijn. Wordt vervolgd

Don't be fooled, this specimen of Pineapple express was born only a week after the other F1 hybrids from Zamnesia but with these latest generation autoflowering plants called f1 noin you're joking, they are really fast, the flower comes together in an instant and poof it's ready . She has begun to grow a lot, she has made a central main cola take off which promises to be very, very interesting, and she is composing the gems. The conditions are all there, we await the decisive weeks for the construction of the flower, cup after cup, we will see what this young lady with the famous name will do. We are sure it will be very interesting. The fertilizer is always a hair too much but I have very little of the paranoia of Italian grandmothers about leaving my girls hungry.

Bit of nute burn appeared on just one of these phenos overnight. I think this is as this plant flowers longer than my nute charts so did a bit of experimenting. Wil dial it back a bit at this stage next grow to avoid this and have dialled back a bit now, moving forwards. It's not too bad and still seems localised to certain parts of just one plant so not gonna stress about it.

Week 7 VEG – The White OG (Seedsman Seeds) This week was all about shaping, training, and refining. We stepped into the art of mainlining, guiding her structure into perfection while giving her the space to shine. A little seduction, a little discipline, and a whole lot of plant love. 😏✨ 🌿 Mainlining: The Art of Balance Mainlining isn’t just training—it’s sculpting. By evenly distributing energy and growth, we create a strong, symmetrical plant that’s ready to thrive. 🔹 Topped and trained – Ensuring equal energy flow and balanced growth. 🔹 Leaving two nodes per branch – Structuring her for a powerful, even canopy. 🔹 Guiding her gently – With the right support, she bends but never breaks. 🍃 Defoliation: Light, Air, and Growth Less is more when it comes to defoliation! The goal? More light penetration, better airflow, and a happier plant. 💡 Removing lower leaves – Redirecting energy to the most important growth points. 💨 Improving airflow – Keeping her environment fresh and reducing moisture buildup. 🌞 Allowing deeper light penetration – No more shadows, just pure, even growth. 🔥 The Studio Treatment This week, she got the VIP studio treatment—out of the tent, under the lens, and shining against that sleek black background. Sometimes, you just have to appreciate the beauty of the work in progress. Tent Conditions & Feedings 🔸 Temps: Around 18°C – a little chilly, but she’s handling it like a champ. 🔸 RH: 60% – Keeping that balance for steady veg growth. 🔸 Feed: Still running Aptus Holland’s organic-mineral lineup—strong, steady, and full of potential. 🔸 Lights: Future of Grow LED, 200 PPFD—keeping her compact and thriving. 💚 Shoutouts & Love Huge thank you to the amazing sponsors and supporters! 🌱 @Seedsman @AptusHolland @FutureofGrow @TrolMaster @ProMixSoil @Cannakan 🌍 Special shoutout to the entire Grow Diaries family, the followers, the lovers, the haters—this one’s for you all! 👀 New episodes dropping weekly on YouTube!

(12-8)Roots are growing. Emily is increasing height everyday. My humidity is really low (low 30's) so I have ordered a small humidifier to put in the A.B.L.E. Grow Chamber. Music selection includes Nirvana, Lou Reed, Joy Division, Fugazi and Led Zepplin. will keep my pH between 5.8 and 6. will also post end of week photos. (12-9) Added small humidifier to the chamber. It raises the humidity by @ 15% which is OK but I need more humidity for my clone these first weeks. Have ordered a larger humidifier and hopefully that will get me in the high 60's. I'm around 45% at the moment with the small humidifier. (12-10) The large humidifier did the trick. Got humidity up to 70% and I also installed a drip ring around the top of the container so hopefully that will help the roots grow better.

Ya al día con las fotos. Empecé a fertilizar con vitamax pro. Las hojas laterales rotas con color marrón tienen quemadura por luz del led de apoyo, descarté sobrefertilización por que solo apareció en hojas superiores. La punta del cogollo central también se está quemando con luz por proximidad al led principal que lo tengo al máximo de altura.

Week 3 : Mr.B's Colorado Cookies They've been growing at a vigorous pace, seemed to like a nice top off of light mix, stem is growing thicker and leaves are getting pushed out of the fourth node. Soil is a bit cold right now, temperature and humidity are a bit cold too but at 0.7-0.9 VPD so far these young seedlings are doing well , i'd say. Fed with aloe and my own cal mag , ph'ed a bit much to 5.5 , but i poured it on anyway, that's the ph of rain water so... going to get a spray tomorrow of kelp and calmag at sunset twice this week, still spraying the soil with amino, quite happy with how my room is set up. all i can say, is for now i'm liking the indica leaves and i'm looking forward to some lst 🚀 against my better judgement i went with a 90° bend and some LST on the leaves to get it real low and expose all the in between parts to the light, the plant is oriented parrallel to the wall. 🚀
