15/08/24 (FD 22): Started to give my girls some more bio bloom to boost Phosphate & flower development, for now they seem to handle the extra nutes with no problem what so ever! Also the stretch seems to be done and they reached 1m in height. I wonder how tall they would have gotten if I wouldn't have topped them in week 3? There is one really weird mutation in the big girls which results in a flat stem with a bend and stunted top...I am really curious to see flower development on this one! I hope they will reach their maturity in 6 weeks so I can harvest before October when it will get humid & rainy! Stay tuned

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!

So.... what can i say about this grow so far? Its a Love & Hate kind of grow relationship 😂🤦🏽 On one hand, this plant is Hugh, branchy, and grows like crazy, every grower dream!🤩 On the other hand it gives me hell!😤 This Og kush phenotype is super sensitive, despite the fact that a lot of it was my fault as well... At first it was the sensitivity to the bright light, Then i realised the EC was sky rocking high! Apparently i i gave the plant lots of PH down, which raised the EC levels at around 1900! Which gave the plant a crazy nutrient burn. Luckily i found the problem, and in the past few days i lowered the EC gradually. Anyway, despite all the issues I'm having with that OG Kush, she's keep on going!💪🏽💚 As you can see the plant is very big, the buds getting bigger by the day, they are super sticky already... I had to defoliate her for the second time with gloves on haha, I do hope that from now on it will be a smooth ride until harvest, crossing my fingers 🤞🏽🌱

Day 73 Ho tolto entrambe le Watermelon Zkittlez. Non sono contento per come le ho trattate e per non essermi accorto dei problemi mostrati fin da inizio fioritura della Watermelon Zkittlez #2 (quella tutta gialla con foglie secche). Pensavo a una carenza e quindi ho continuato ad aggiungere calmag quando molto probabilmente era un blocco di ph e conseguente mancato assorbimento dei nutriente. Morale della favola?Fiori piccoli con resina che non ha minimo odore. Dagli errori si impara e finalmente mi sono comprato una pennetta Ph (Adwa Ad12) e non le solite cazzate che trovo su amazon e mi durano qualche giorno per poi rimanere senza e inciampare sempre in questi problemi. L'altra pianta stava bene fino a quando sono stato bene io. Alla fine loro vanno seguite e se ti assenti un attimo tante volte rischi di mandare tutto il lavoro all'aria. Fino al 60esimo giorno era perfetta poi per tre giorni sono stato male e non ho dato da bere alla pianta. Quando riapro il box la trovo tutta floscia e le cime molli e senza quell'odore che tanto mi stava colpendo nei giorni precedenti. Ora la lascio chiusa nei barattoli e vediamo se riesce a regalarmi un piccolo sorriso 😊 Grazie del passaggio. Due tre settimane aggiorno diario con qualche bella foto 🖐️

Getting into the final week and a half. I’m looking for all cloudy trichomes, with no amber on this one. So it might be day 56 on the dot. I’ll take a look later in the week. I’m getting excited. I’ve never had White Widow.

🌸 WEEK 5 FLOWER – “Aiming for the Moon” Hello, beautiful people! It’s been a busy stretch, but I’m finally back with another exciting update from our Permanent Marker girls — and wow, what a sight they are right now. Both phenos are truly stunning in their own unique ways. • Pheno #1 is aiming for the moon — nearly 2 meters tall, stretching with grace, and starting to show her first flashes of color. The top buds are swelling, pistils glowing bright white, and the early hues are giving us a glimpse of what’s to come. • Pheno #2 stays more compact around 120 cm, with equally gorgeous bud formation — dense, balanced, and full of life. We did a light defoliation this week to open the canopy, helping airflow and light penetration reach deeper into the structure. The goal is simple: give the photons space to dance and the air room to breathe. The results are already visible — the girls look happier, more open, and vibrant. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Conditions are stable now that the AC is up and running (finally!). Temperatures have dropped to a comfortable range, and both phenos seem to love it. We continue with our Aptus Holland organic program, using: • Regulator • Top Booster • CalMag Boost The pellets in the soil are still doing their silent magic, slowly releasing nutrients and keeping the system balanced. 💫 Bud Development This week, trichomes are starting to form more visibly, and the white hairs are shining under the lights. The buds are stacking up beautifully, especially on Pheno #1 — her size and structure promise something truly special. The aroma is beginning to intensify, that sweet, deep tone of the Permanent Marker genetics revealing itself layer by layer. 🌍 A Quick Recap From germination in the CannaKan, through the lush veg powered by Aptus nutrition, under the ThinkGrow and Future of Grow LEDs, this grow has been a journey of precision, patience, and passion. Now, at week 5 flower, we’re officially entering the heavy bloom phase — where the artistry of the genetics truly begins to express itself. 🏆 Dognabis Cup Update The Dognabis Cup is officially in full bloom too! The welcome boxes have reached growers worldwide, and we’re seeing the first unboxings and diaries popping up — what a beautiful sight! To all participants: good luck and have fun! Remember, the more detailed and complete your diary, the better your chances of winning. This Cup is about sharing, learning, and growing together — and I’m so proud to see it finally taking shape. 🌱 What’s Next Next week, we’ll be looking for more color expression, denser stacking, and the early glisten of trichome frost. I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the temperature balance as the buds pack on size. Huge thanks to everyone who follows this journey — the sponsors, the community, the growers, the dreamers, the haters, the lovers — every one of you makes this space alive. Until next week, stay lifted and stay curious. 🌿✨ To grow is to share, to bloom is to connect — and through every cup, seed, and story, we keep the garden alive. **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone **The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

*English below* La planta está terminando su sexado, comenzando flora, día 2. El stretching fue una locura, de una planta de 70 cm (que use la mitad para hacer esquejes), en solo 15 días crecio arriba de 1.5 m. La primavera en buenos aires acompaño con un clima perfecto los últimos dos meses. La planta tuvo 70 días de vegetativo. 2 day blooming, the stretching was massive, the plant was 75cm and now it's more than the double of that size. Half of the plant was used for clons, so in 15 days of stretching, 35 cm of plant became this.

Fungus gnats were in full effect here due to the Down-to-Earth potting mix. That stuff doesn't drain worth a damn! I had just sprayed the plants with neem oil and soap in this video... and needless to say that didn't turn out well (more to follow) In other news, the French Macaron roots were growing like crazy at this point.

So the harvest day came up. He spilled 7 days with clean water 175 PPM. I’ll tell you about weight and effect later on how everything will be ready. Thanks to everyone who followed my flower, wrote comments, and liked them. My next report will be on the DWC system and coconut. The earth pleases me with a mass of harvest) AND WITH THE POPULARS THEY ARE TRIPE LARGES. The plant practically does not smell and has a compact appearance. How to dry tell you about the effect))) All large crops and a peaceful sky overhead.

Explosion of leaves from the 15th to the 17th day, then on the 18th day we start to see "normal" leaves, and on the 20-21st day we have hope that it will become a normal plant 😄

Nothing important to add this week they are all growing in a healthy pace and I slightly increased the water rations to 0.8L/plant. Still adding nutrients every 3 days.

first day of putting into setup forgot to check water temp ended up getting to 77 may also be why #3 started teisting bad. Roots already coming out of bottom seem healthy. I am in growing in my garage I have an ac unit hooked up but still hit temps of just under 80 degrees a few days but got Temps back down around 75 during the day.

I'm like 5 days late with this update so I have had to pin videos that I took the same week while I was communicating with TRYHARD so ignore any dialogue that's out of context they aren't diary logs they are simply correspondence between myself And TRY, oh and sorry about my language I'm common as muck me. The pictures are just random pics I took that week as oppose to my usual more organised method but hey ho I'll do a more tidy job next week. The week went swimmingly barring some nitrogen deff on the lowers which I initially put down to the hot weather drying the pots too quickly and causing nute lockout with the salt buildup so I flushed then gave them a nice feed after they dried the pot at which point I noticed the most heavily afflicted by the N deff were also the quickest drinkers and had lower EC on the runoff so I have been giving them a slightly stronger feed than the others and it seems to have solved everything so I'm happy with that. Bud development is nice, frost is nice, terps are through the roof right now..... Zkittlez ones are really stinking of lime and candy bubblegum Punch ones are stinking berry berry nice! Grandpas Crush is smelling kinda hazey right now but I'm hoping the berries comes out of her too. Little else to report really. Thanks for reading One Love 💚 Fire Farmer🔥👨‍🌾
