May 31st - Day 104 : I had to take two babies out because of the lack of space in the tent. Didn’t realize they would grow that much.. So I planted them outside and will let them do their thing as I didn’t have the heart to kill them. But besides that, thriving.

May 21st - start of week 8 flower for the A.G. & C.G., they have their own deadlines approaching so there will be some pics shortly of the trichome status on all 3 plants. - a week behind the other 2; BlueGod has a shorter schedule and is under the spotlight now that its been flushed - a/c & dehumidifier are now in service and I will be getting the bugs out of the system re: “limits” with fans, temp & humid targets, heaters etc. - just giggling about how beautiful all if this bud is. Something has gone incredibly correctly this grow. *** FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE ARE NOTHING BUT REALLY SOLID NUGGETS ALL OVER THE PLACE !! That, is a first - flushed plant will receive waterings w/ Rezin & Molasses till harvest. -going to push a.g. & c.g. with one more big feed tomorrow. ~ 6L ea. May 23rd, - often i make little comments about how small each of the plants are; and 1 of the key reasons for that... is that I only Vegged the plant’s for 5 weeks, and then still controlled height with HST... these plants are and have been an amazing grow, but next time they get Bigger b4 the Lites go Out !!! May 24th, Trichome images required a little bud from each plant. And the Acapulco & Colombian plants are the furthest from harvest, but both did show a few Amber trichomes. Together I shredded the 2 (a.g. & c.g.) buds and put them in a hot dry place for the day. After dinner and on a whimsy i rolled them up & did I ever get stoned/baked from a couple small buds from the adolescent plants. Famous but young, and did they ever Kick. That was so inspirational from a couple of legends. Cannot wait for a special harvest and a critical cure ! May 25th, the number of Amber trichomes on the Acapulco absolutely lead it directly to a flush on Thursday evening. End of week 8 in Flower. Hopefully the amber sweep is not too aggressive, it would be nice to milk this one along until the leaves are golden... - And of course, the Colombian is just Soo damn full of crystals. Clear crystals with equal amounts of Cloudy ones and a flash of Amber on the Fringes. CG gets flushed in 9-10 days as per the schedule. We’ll see what happens May 27th, - woke the Acapulco Gold up early and gave it a good shower ~ started its day early with 24 gallons worth. The feeding ingredients above are still the same for the Colombian Gold - 2 Flushed plants; will be fed as required with water containing 2ml/L Rezin & 2.5ml/l Molasses

LED dimmed down to 40%, i.e. 48 Watt. Tatanka Pure CBD Seed died on 2nd day (watch Video). Replacing it with Painkiller XL and Northern Light auto - hopefully they spout fast and healthy this time.

Settimane 10 di fioritura iniziata e hanno un profumo buonissimo e forte, a fine di questa settimana vedrò se raccogliere o aspettare un’altra settimana poiché i fiori in basso non sono ancora abbastanza maturi. Questa è la mia prima esperienza e so di aver commesso errori ma le piante hanno comunque resistito. Avrei bisogno di qualche consiglio per capire se dopo questa settimana devo raccogliere oppure no. Ciao a tutti

She is getting big. By my calculations, I should have just enough room in the tent for her if she stretches out to about 3x her current height. Flipped her to flower on Friday of this week. Let’s go 😊

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

Day 15: Plants looking healthy as can be! I didn't make a rack for the lights but I got em in. Looks jankie, but I think its gonna work. 🙏 Day 16: Trying to work out kinks in my grow. Since I put the other 2 lights in, I'm now battling the heat and humidity. Switch the fans around. Got the cold air coming in down low. Will feed them in the morning. Day 17: The girls were showing signs of being thirsty this morning for sure! They received their first drain to waste watering. They will be getting some additional nutes on the next feeding (AN B-52, AN Sensizyme, AN CalMag Extra). Day 18: Looking amazing today! I tried my hand at a little LST. Wish the girls luck.!! 🙏 Tomorrow is the official 2 week mark from breaking ground. So, not sure. I've got the humidity finally dialed in at around 50-55% and the temp around 78°. Also gave them another drink as they were already dry about 1.5" down?? Day 19: This is the official 2 week mark. I think I stressed the girls pretty good yesterday, but they look to be recovered today. Should start seeing good growth in the day to follow. Will just be tucking a leaf here and there for a bit. I will being doing a straight water feed next with Great White. Day 20: Nothing new to report other than found 2 leaves that had some yellow mottling. I added Sensizyme, Recharge, and Great White to this feeding. Did not do drain to waste. Just watered the outside perimeter. PPM was 260 at 5.8 ph. Day 21: NO MORE NUTES for these girls! Tips on a couple of em are turning yellow!!! Stupid me. Over watering and giving too many nutes.

Have reduced feed to half strength of Cycos Platinum range nutrients which seems to be perfect for the Phatt Fruity. Weight is starting to be put on and colas are starting to droop, may have to tie them up to support the weight in the coming weeks (hopefully)

This week the plants went through a lot of training. First, at the beginning of the week, the humidifier was taken out, the light was set to 4, and I applied worm castings to reduce the Ph level. Then two older plants got topped, and applied LST on the main branches. I rolled the main branches between my fingers to soften the branches until they are limp. Then tied down the tallest branch. Then, the rest of the plants got topped. By the end of the week, ALL of the plants were topped at the fifth node and trimmed under growth, up to the third node. This prepares them for top bud production and sets the plants into healing mode. Which will increase yield and terpene production. Note: the baby Lemmosa plants are very healthy and vibrant and young enough to withstand the HST!

What a journey! These girls were so awesome to watch grow. I made some real true newbie mistakes right from the start... 😳 Packed the soil way too tight, did not germinate in wet paper towel first, and of course over-watered. The one I call yellow monster actually had its root above ground and it turned brown. I did fix it up laughing all the time. But in the end with only a dry weight of 21.7 g , watching it turn yellow then purple was well worth it. 😍 The one I wanted to main-line was the very first to sprout but the very last to grow... the end up being the tallest at 38 inches. She stayed green the whole time. She had a weight of 34.2 g 😜 My LST was fantastic... I could only imagine what she would have turned out like with no to little mistakes. She was a cool mixture of green and purple. Her weight was 43.6 g 😳😍😜 Total weight = 99.5 grams or 3.55 oz Kryptonite soil "living soil", just added water the whole time... (with a little bit of molasses mixed in once in a while). 315w CMH Lights with an extra 600w LED for 3 or 4 week near the end... thanks to a friend! Had temp average around 24-25 Celsius with night temps between 16-19 Celsius. Used 5 Gallon Smart pots. Only vaped a little... waiting for full cure. 3-4 weeks! Will update! Thank you @Sweet_Seeds! Thanks for watching! 😵 Update June 17th: Smell has changed from curing. Alot more pungent. I tried a taste from each but I'm going to wait another week before my final comment. Final Update June 26th... The curing process is pretty much done, I believe. The taste has changed a little... has more of earthy taste to it now. Since I cured at 3 different times, each pheno has it's own nice little buzzzz😵 It has been a blast!!! 😛

Another fun week! Really starting to believe in this strain. We have now filled 80/81 squares with atleast 1 bud, most have 3. The lower flowers have made a sprint for the surface so happy with that. Applied some high stress training this time around as I really wanted a flat canopy from this point. A dozen or more branches bent off at a 90 degree angle to achieve that. Only one casualty. Upped the food to about 125% what ghe recommends along with some future harvest ton o bud. Did a really good flush and clean with half strength solution as I refilled. Decided to add a little phosphoric acid as i hadn't been for a few weeks. Flower set is coming along nicely. Plant 1 is still way ahead, but fairly docile whereas plant 2 finally put on some flowers and had started to stretch. Plant 1, oddly enough, has actually slowed its internodal growth and is starting to pack on the buds🤷‍♂️ As far as the phenotypes go, I think I lucked out and got two different purple varieties. I could be dead wrong, but both plants seem to show purple on early flower set. The mature fans look oddly lanky for a pure indica🤔 I have a half dozen clones that will hopefully take as I'd really like to give this strain another go. Til' next week🙌

Harvested 1 plant. Still have the bigger 2 to fatten up a bit more. I’m guessing another 2 weeks before they are ready. Just a waiting game now. Plant 1 seems to be drying nicely. Looking forward to getting the cure on and bringing them terpenes out.
