Week 5 flower. This one just grows slow. Slowly filling in. Very frosty, but not a nice smell. Hopefully the flowers end up tight, hard, and smelling great. Lights are at 12-14” from canopy, and plants are taking it well. Blumat drip still working, and hand watering once a week with Gaia Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17. Not going to top dress anymore as these 30 gallon pots have lots to offer still and this plant is using nothing really. Thanks for views!

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!

Started LST on 3/6 of the plants. Having no issues at all so far👌 Gave her some nutes twice so far at a very low dose. Currently feeding once a week. Soil holds enough nutes as is already. Low dose Cal-Mag in every watering - missed week 2 so I just started week 3

Day 34 this lady is running, I can see flowers getting bigger every day, smell started really really soon this time so I already had to add the Carbon Filter. I’d like to close the cycle in less then 80 days. It would be great First flowering fertilisation Ph 6.2 Ppm 631 Day 37 - 9 of flower 🌸 Started blooming fertilisation, I’m keep Giving all-in one from aptus, i think I lm substitute with super pk and I stop all in one. Ph 6.2 Ppm 731 As I’m growing an solito in a 9.2 lt pots with all mix nutrients I’m slowing down with all in one and just giving base feedings, I ll decide later if I should give super-pk for the next weeks Day 40, tomorrow will be feeding days. Sge’s going really well, resin is already showing up on flowers that are several as and colorfull, smell is already there 🤤 Tomorrow update with feedings parameters. Day 41 feeding day Aptus regulator 0,15ml/1 lt Aptus all in one 1,25ml/1lt Aptus Topbooster 0,3 ml Aptus enzym + 0,5 ml Calmag 0,3 ml /L Ph 6,18 Ppm 756 Let’s see

beginning of week 2. they are all doing well, up potted once and they immediately took over the new fabric pots. i think I may go up to 1 gallons before I put them in their final airpot 3 gallons, depending on my work schedule. did upload a timelapse but the file got a bit corrupted. good enough anyway everything seems to be going well except I really can't decide how I'm going to grow these plants (structure-wise) and it's getting to the time where I need to decide. I've had awesome results with LST, quad line, just topping and some light training, SCROG. Really can't decide what to do here but I'm sure it will come to me. Temp and humidity have been super consistent which is awesome. I have a bunch of new stuff coming in the mail from AC Infinity, a new controller that will allow me to program day/night, right now I manually adjust it on my phone before I go to bed with the Elitech controllers. Also a new exhaust fan because the bearings in mine are shot and it's super loud, two 6" oscillating circulation fans, and a new commercial humidifier.

Empieza la sexta semana. Esta debía ser la última. Pero todavía quedan unos días más, así que me voy a extender a 7 semanas. Se pueden ver algunos cogollos grandes y voluminosos. Algunos otros no tanto, pero sin tanta diferencia. Hice una solución bien cargada para aprovechar la última semana de engorde. Espero llegar cómodo a la cosecha y sacar buenos resultados. Ya fumé algunas hojas con la pipa de agua, y el sabor y potencia se empiezan a notar. Seguiré actualizando cómo se termina esto. Día 38. Todo sigue muy bien. Las flores siguen engordando y las hojas llenas de tricomas. Creo que a pesar de algunos detalles, el resultado va a ser interesante. Ya es la cuenta regresiva y de no mediar problemas habrá una cosecha abundante. Por ahora se prende intermitentemente el ventilador a la noche, por lo que no se ven problemas de humedad. Pero ante la duda en cualquier momento coy a dejar prendidos los extractores toda la noche. Día 40. Estoy viendo que unos pocos tricomas recién se empiezan a poner blancos. Por lo cual puede ser que incluso se alargue una semana más de lo que pensaba, llegando a 8. Hoy llegó el overdrive de advanced, pero no se si usarlo en esta planta, ya que depende de la maduración de los tricomas si empiezo el lavado en tres días, o no. El engorde es muy notorio en estos días, así que ya estoy bastante conforme. Aún así voy a ver si es necesaria una semana más de nutrición o no.

My camera doesn't quite do it justice just how beautiful this plant is. Id say moderate amount of frost if I were to guess maybe 21-22%, but the Terps are out of this world. When you walk into the grow room all you smell is dank rotten cherrys and gas. The nose has transformed and changed so many times in the past 3-4 weeks it's been incredible. Opened a palette to me I never knew existed in weed; it has a smell that's Rich in Red Fruity Wine, hash/rosin (like when you hit a rosin disposable or you smell some good fresh press), with a cherry- black cherry fruit punch forward Superboof. Truly incredible. I pray these trichome heads stand a bit taller within the next 3-4 weeks, so we can get a nice wash + press going to make sum DELICIOUS Super Fried Applez Live Rosin

Had to attach some more wires and weights as anker against the wind. Buds swelling nicely and densely covered in Trichomes. On day 42 of flowering I took the smallest branch from the bottom of the weaker of the 2 plants, dried the bud for 5 days and dropped it on the Purpl Pro. Came back with 15% THC. It had perfect moisture so i gave it a smoke and it was a smooth smoke already. Given the fact this was a very "bad" flower sample, and that another week of flowering with good sunhours has passed im expecting something along 18-21% THC on the good Material, wich is pretty neat for a metropole area balcony grow in 6L pots. Will post purpl pro results of both plants once dried, cant wait! Had to protect the Plants against some sudden Rainfalls, kept sitting there until it stopped raining - but see for yourself

hello my Friends! The Bush'OKush had a great week!😊It is Day 56 of Flower. She is really putting on the weight in the last 2 weeks, A lot of the branches have started to "droop down from the weight to where the stems are almost horizontal. Normally I would stake/tie them up but she will be harvested within the week otherwise they would get tied up to prevent any snapping of branches that could occur.I am surprised actually on how much they have sagged or drooped from the weight due to the size and how sturdy the stems are. She really surprised me in these last 2 weeks with that🙌. As for when she will get harvested it is looking like it is going to be right around the breeders estimated time of ~63 days Flowering👌 You could easily harvest it around the late 7th to the 8th week depending on preference and growing conditions. I am going the full 63 Days at least even though the trichomes are pretty much at there peak I'd say its about ~90% cloudy/milky and ~5% clear ~5% Amber. So I am hoping for a heavy hitter of a smoke from this one so that why I will go the full breeder time of 63 if not a few days longer all depends on how quick the Trich's mature/ripen and oxidize. I will be watching them closely. I am still feeding her some nutes but only every 2 waterings, so it's feed-water-water-feed. I have also lowered the level of nutes slightly and will keep doing so until it is just plain pH'd water for the last two days.She has a very odd kinda hard to describe smell😷, it is this like fresh grapey smell at first then a kushy, earthy, fruity-ish yet pungent like smell 😂 Hopefully the next update will be a starting to harvest update👍 Thanks for stopping in to check out the diary! Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests Everyone!!🙏

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der dritten Woche des Wachstums entwickelt sich die THC-V sehr stabil und sie geht ordentlich in den Stretch. Daher habe ich die Pflanze nun auch getopppt. Sobald die Triebe lang genug sind, werde ich die Pflanze dann auch allmählich trainieren um ihr höhenwachstum im zaum zu halten. Da ich alle Biotabs Komponenten eingefügt habe kommt jetzt die only Water Methode zum Einsatz. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind OK: ————— 🌞 Temp: 21°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 54% VPD: 0,85 kPa ————— Viele Grüße 👋
