Here we are, ready, after a week of truly fruitful germination we have 20 beautiful plants all marked with the Z of Zamnesia. We have moved on to autoflowering, unlike many growers I have no prejudice against this type of plant, it is true that they are the easiest to make but it is also true that they have improved a lot in terms of flower quality and if once ease meant lower quality now even the most presumptuous old school flower children growers struggle to understand if a flower is from an autoflowering or a normal photoperiod plant. There are people who claim to recognize it from the flavor but then never succeed, it's funny how it works. I enjoy making them strip their heads with these magnificent new autoflowering plants. She is the Black Orchid I have never grown her but I have seen some truly phenomenal photos of this plant. I really hope they come out black. I love it. ---- New Home - The ladies have almost all been transplanted into 11-liter pots, which is my favorite size to get the best ratio of plants in the grow box / yield. Especially if you don't have to do excessive topping or you have to grow the plants straight with main cola like I do for catalog needs like I do, 11 liters guarantees you to make excellent plants. Topping with 11-liter pots is recommended up to a maximum of 16 buds (4 main crops) - The pots are square plastic and canvas branded Zamnesia - The soil used is Plagron Promix with peat and worm castings but not fertilized - --- Start feeding program - A very serious feeding program branded Plagron has begun. We made our own personalized table based on the chosen soil (Plagron Promix 100% organic) that you can all do at the link https://plagron.com/en/tools/grow-schedule-calculator and I started giving: - Power Roots - 1ml/l - Alga Grow - 2 ml/l - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1ml/l - Vita Race - 1 ml/l - The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html We are giving a lot of humidity with a humidifier and we oscillate between 65% and 70%. // Strain Description // It is said that the orchid symbolizes love, refinement and beauty. Well, we can confirm that the Black Orchid Automatic contains all these attributes and many more. This autoflowering variety has a lot to offer: a particular but very pleasant aromatic profile, and a relaxing and carefree high. Furthermore, this plant is very productive when grown in optimal conditions. - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/9493-zamnesia-seeds-black-orchid-automatic.html - Soil and Fertilizers entirely organic --- https://plagron.com/en buy on www.zamnesia.io - Growbox and air sistem --- https://www.secretjardin.com/ - Light — P2000 - https://www.viparspectra.com - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and music from www.radionula.com - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io

Hello and welcome to week three for Enigma. Day 15: She is a bit sad today. I dropped her yesterday she took quite a jolt, and I think I overwatered her, so I upended her and waited until some drips came out, and then stuck a straw down to the bottom of the pot and blew air into the medium. She became a little less droopy within an hour of that, I am keeping an eye on her. It is going to be really hard to manage feeding her without over-watering her. I have certainly set myself a real challenge with this pot. Day 16: Enigma is hungry but over hydrated. The only thing I can think to try is making a special extra-strong nutes just for her. Day 18: Starting to find the balance of moisture. This is not easy at all. Day 19: Decent bit of growth today. Overall this lady is showing strong signs of being severely restricted by the pot size. No training at all intended, let's just see what happens. Day 20.5: She's perked up quite a bit since the photo. My extra strong nute regime seems to be paying off. She is maintaining a narrow form I am starting to wonder if roots act a bit like a cats whiskers? A cat's whiskers grow to the width of the cat's widest part... and they use them to know if they will fit through something. In observing these various cannabis plants, I am beginning to notice a correlation between plant width and pot width. This is bolstered by the evidence of transplanted plants rapidly stretching in width when introduced to a much wider pot. If my working theory has any basis in reality then an optimal pot would be short and fat rather than tall and narrow. I am probably going to test this theory with some clones. A second note of interest pertains to the quick shockingly rapid growth of both Misty and Nesia. These plants are even way ahead of where Citronella was, and I have been consistently delighted with Her Majesty. Is it simply starting them in bigger pots from seed? That has some impact I'm sure. Nevertheless I feel not enough impact to explain the massive difference. I think it's the nutes. Time for an admission, I have been being very lazy with the fertigation. I mix up 10l of nutes based on the stated dosages for the eldest plant (Karen)....and then I feed all of the plants with this even the ones that are much younger. So both Misty and Nesia got nutes for a plant in week 4 from seed and each week they increased. Could it be that the key to organic nutes in coco is to massively over-nute? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Day 21: Weekly summary: some problems early this week but corrected and she's much happier today.

This week I pruned and defoliated heavy. Removed every fan leaf and removed everything before the scrog. I didn't get as horizontal as I would have liked but I'm hopeful I won't burn tops bcuz I'm close, lucky I have the light rail moving the light atotal of 3 feet back and forth allowing me to use more intense like but in spurts. Also the co2 bag and co2 bucket really seem to be helping. Topdressed with endgame and loaded up with basilus, activated em1, orca, great white, king crab, mammoth p, ohn, yucca, alow flakes, count powder, root wise poder and enzymes. Also weekly to every other week I make compost tea from boogie brew. All my water is treated with drops of balance and I also collect and use rainwater. I have an irrometer and run from 10 to 15 kps

Welcome to week 21 of my grow diary. As the temperatures are rather average to cold, the soil stays moist for a long time. I have reduced the watering quantity to 5 litres every 3 days. The humidity rises a lot at night, so the plant is now spending the night in the garage. The smell is now super penetrating and you can smell the plant over several meters. See you next week ✌️

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!

At the end of week 11 of vegetation the blackberry cake feminised is doing well. She has not recovered completely but she’ll be fine to bloom. She will need further treatment to the substrate ie drying out. The lady has been slightly defoliated as I took the bottom leaves away. The substrate has been loosened to introduce more co2 to the roots. The stem is stalk like and the is new growth on the leaves. She has grown a steady 4cm this week and she’s standing at 57cm tall the blackberry cake feminised is ready for bloom!

Día 13/10/20 día 37 de floración Nuestras nenas continúan estables, el único cambio es la bajada de temperaturas, sobretodo de noche aunque con la ayuda de un calefactor la mantenemos en 23 grados. Poco a poco los días pasan y se va a cercando el lavado de raíces, por lo que ya no subiremos demasiado la ec de las niñas, no te lo pierdas!! Día 15/10/20 día 39 de floración Continuamos vigilando las nenas, hoy ha tocado una inspección detenida y un aspirado de la sala para minimizar riesgos. Por otro lado la nutrición sin cambios, sigo con el riego por goteo programado para riegos de 1,5 min cada. 6 horas durante el día. Ahora solo falta seguir controlando a espera de cosechar los resultados, te lo vas a perder?? Día 17/10/20 día 41 de floración Hoy rellenamos el tanque de nutrición, al final se queda con 1.85 ec y 6.1 de ph, esta será la ec más elevada que utilizaremos en nuestro cultivo. La mantendremos así durante unos días hasta que toque hacer el lavado de raíces para asegurarnos de cosechas unas flores con un aroma y sabor sin contaminantes (algo de lo que ya nos aseguramos desde un principio al utilizar zyco)

Stretched a bit. Ramping up their nutrients. She’s doing well! She had a prominent main cola. She’s not as big as the other testers. Bu tv seems to be the most frosty so far

She was a stretcher and it hurt her production taking it as my fault till I see what the clones do Two years ago we began with an LSD harvest and now we end with one, rather fitting. Clones combined wet weight 720 grams in dry over next couple of days 173 grams dry from clones

Still swelling but starting to slow down and swagger. It's kolas are becoming so large that it's really starting to weight down the plants small height and stature. Trying to get away with not holding it up but I will see how the further biggest kola starts to lower more how it'll end. I'm starting to lower the feed and get ready for the last 3-4 weeks I'll be giving these plants. Some more foliage will be removed eventually in the coming weeks and also I'll start to change the feed up a little. You can really see the difference in the two phenos. One's a lot like a leafy gelato and the other is OG all the way with great dense kolas. I'm expecting the Gelato type pheno to take 9-10 weeks and the OG one seems to be showing it's age more rapidly with it's pistil development and colour change beginning to start while the other seems untouched and continues to shoot newer whiter pistils!
