Buds are fattening up pretty well and I've had to use more rubber garden wire and clips to keep the branches from bending over. Smell is increasing on the Northern Light but still a mild skunk on the Black Devil. Also gave the very last feeding on the plants this week so they will get nothing but water until the chop. I'm very happy with the microbe populations so I stopped feeding the sugars (molasses/agave) as the plants themselves don't get much out of them; that stuff is just for feeding the soil beasties. I had added some predatory mites several weeks ago to deal with some springtails, and the mites annihilated the population. I did find a developing larva though so there are still some around. Posted lots of microscope videos today.

The plant is growing at a great rate, unfortunately there are still no signs of flower growth. Trying to remain patient, going to give it a few more weeks and if there’s nothing growing I’m going to pull it.

Week 6 down and the OG Kush has been moved into the big girl tent to start her flower cycle. All 8 tops are fairly even and even throwing pitils. Leaves are getting a stronger, skunk aroma which has me very excited to smell the terps on the flower. Maintenance was minimal, just watering when light. Side note, I missed a day on pics...my bad 😊

When it should start flowering?

🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because time… it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place — a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. 🌿 The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup — a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation — light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, they’re hanging and drying — and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle — nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it — giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. It’s not just dirt — it’s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. It’s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

This plant is huge, it's leaves are huge, the buds are coming in well. My favorite plant of the 6. These fast buds genetics are so good. Germination rate, growth, hardiness is just impressive. The pictures do more than my words can. 10/23 purple coming in beautifully

My house is full of sweet chocolate and fruit aroma:) her flowers are full of shiny trichomes :) the girl only bloomed for 57 days, but she is already ready, maybe her flowering sped up in my grow box, high temperature 33°, because of that under my arm my light was set to 85%. From the first days, the girl showed fast and healthy growth:) I made a timelapse video, but unfortunately due to problems with the SD memory card, it takes 3-4 days at the end of the video, besides, my tent is too small for that :D I also made bubble hash from sugar leaves myself :) I tried Zamnesia seeds for the first time - I hope that someday this seed bank will offer me its products to try again :) thank you all. you were together :) good luck with the growing.

☺️

Fo' Twenny Back with another update on this awesome little Northern Light Blue Auto from Delicious Seeds! 9/18: She has been in darkness since 9/13. She seems to be doing fine and not even getting super dry. I decided to chop today! Keep an eye out for the upcoming harvest report! Thanks for checking out my diary. If you liked this diary, check out my other diaries and give me a follow! Until next time... Peace ☮️, Love 💚, And Frosty Nugs ❄️🌲! -Fo'Twenny

Explosive bud development the past week. These girls are gonna be STACKED! I wish every plant I ever grew could grow like these! Absolutely beautiful look to these ladies! One plant is further along than the rest, but probably still a couple weeks from harvest. I truly see these plants going 110 plus days from seed. Im still on the same watering regimen. Feeding every water, but definitely done with any and all nitro for this grow. Feeding general hydro micro and bloom, at full strength, and feeding them big bud by advanced at 5ml per gal. Also, giving them a full dose of recharge every 7 days. They love it! I don't have a single burnt or rust colored leaf on the entire grow. Thats impressive under an HPS on 1000 watts! Love love love these plants and everything about them! The plant that is a couple weeks ahead of the others (planted the same day), the buds are absolutely rock hard! Gonna be some dense, sticky, resinous, absolutely killer medicine!

Day 35 (day 1 flowering): Wow these ladies kick into flowering early. thankfully they have allowed me time to get them spread out. Today was a last attempt at getting them into their own space fornwach growing tip. even the lowers have been encouraged to join the party for the stretch period. Bring it on , we are ready !. lol The Mimosa lemon has really got busy the last week and her transition for flowering should be very positive with her l.s.t set up. She has so many growth tips that are joining the vertical climb. she is still very workable but is hardening up more now. I definitely notice the lack of using silicon fornthese so will start tonadd it early on I think. Seeing how well she filled the pot is a bonus too. she will be a good producer I think . she is at The edges of the 30L pot now and will be held there until late in flowering. Once she hits 21 days , I will defoliate her along with the Glueberry. The Glueberry is a thicket of new growth and hopeful main buds. The stems are so thick that she is nearly unworkable. with the breakages to her 4th node , I am hoping to keep her stress below snapping point till the finish. She has some serious thick mains fighting for the top slot and i expect a beasty of a flowering girl. Having g just hit the flowering , I hope to use the stretch to get her set up better. seeing her clumped up makes me nervous. Her structure is similar to a manifold but less planned that way. lwrs see what she does. be well.

primero hidrato mis semillas con el bio potenciador por 4 horas mas menos, luego las paso a un taper hermetico con papel absorbente hidratado con la misma solucion hasta que mis plantulas tengan 3cm app.

The plant was finally Ready to harvest. Buds were more on the leafy side, but no foxtailing, so wet trimming was pretty easy… It will dry now for a week and then cure… I will come back with final results… :))

Was an amazing experience overall. The girls all did great. No complaints. Training went well. Topped twice and lollipopped the lower growth. All the buds, even the lower growth, are large. So frosty too. Amazing overall and will have to grow again as long as I like the smoke.

This was such an amazing experience! The outcome could have been better but I'm happy and the quality is definitely there!!!!! Such a sweet tasting smoke with very relaxing, very creative highlights! I finally got to try this strain and I immediately see why it's a legend!!! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

All three plants are happy and showing a nice layer of trichomes. Still in 2litre pots.

Growing Fast! Smells like fresh Fig newtons - loads of frost covering everything. Buds are Significantly Thicker than Barney’s Mimosa EVO, both were started from seed on the same day. My Whole backyard smells like Peyote Cookies The garden smells Amazing!!!!! Happy Growing

This week things have stabilised a bit, my bigger humidifier came on D26, so hopefully that will help slow transpiration a little! Not really much to report, plants are growing okay, one of them is still struggling a bit, they’ve all been topped for the second time. As I have one plant per 4ft sq, I think I might only mainline to 4 mains, haven’t decided yet! Have bought a Torus Hydro PH balancer, will see if that helps with the PH swings going forward 🧐 Happy growing guys!
