Week 15 - August 09, 2020 -Day 99 08/09: We’re almost at the end. I gave Aaliyah her first watering with plain water. I’m planning on chopping the top colas off of her in a week. Hopefully I can get something out of the lower growth that isn’t getting any light right now. Alexis is coming down in two and Annie in three. Annie has some damage due to the light, but she is hanging in there. Alexis looks the healthiest overall. She stayed pretty compact, so light is still able to reach her lower parts. I think I could’ve had a better grow overall if I would have stuck with using only 3-gallon pots. [General notes: The nutrients on the diary are based off what I’m giving Aaliyah. Alexis is on the previous weeks schedule and Annie in the schedule from two weeks ago.]

Going very well...

The stretch phase is officially over, and now the plant is shifting its energy toward trichome production!🌱 I’ve started noticing a light scent developing, though it’s still not very intense yet. I expect that to change in the coming weeks. I did a light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, and I plan to do another round in about two weeks. Interestingly, the fan leaves are starting to take on a slight reddish hue—curious to see how that develops! 💪😊 So far, everything is looking great, and I’m excited to watch the buds bulk up in the next phase!

Coming along very nicely.

Started flush day 49, very happy apart from a bit of heat stress from the crazy hot weather over the last week. Quality again is looking 10/10.

Bud sites started to appear everywhere, plants are looking healthy and are still stretching a bit. I've decided to add x2 infrared strips to the lighting setup, in order to improve the spectrum for blooming and trigger the emerson effect (infrared 15 mins before full darkness). I did notice in the past that infrared before darkness helps a lot and speed up the whole flowering process. I started to add some "Organic Bloom" to my soup. Various phenotypes are showing their traits, some plants are true sativas, others are more hybrids. I'm going to bet that the most sativas will take a few more weeks to finish. Stay tuned!

The plant is really small hopefully there are a few grams xD and now it is even infested towards the end and has to go out in quarantine lol

Snapped it but its still good .

Week 17 (7-10 to 13-10) 7-10 Temps: 19.2 to 24.8 degrees Humidity: 61% to 70% Increased the light's intensity from 65% to 70%. 8-10 Temps: 20.3 to 25.6 degrees Humidity: 60% to 73% Watering: Both 500 ml. 9-10 Temps: 20.6 to 25.2 degrees Humidity: 60% to 69% Watering: Both 500 ml.

white runtz seems to be holding its own in the center of the tent, really impressed with how well it has responded in flower after such a difficult veg phase

start of week 3 gave her some big bud and at the mid week she was thirsty again so decided to brew up flowering tea for my other and gave her some , loving the growth of this strain

Week 6 Veg Report – Runtz We Meet Again! Another week, another step forward in our Eternity Grow Cup 2025 journey, and oh boy, do we have a lot to unpack! These Runtz girls are showing their potential, and we’re dialing in every little detail to ensure they thrive. Let’s dive deep into everything that happened this week! Cal-Mag Deficiency Adjustment – Pheno #5’s Special Needs This week started with a close inspection of our phenos, and we noticed that Pheno #5 was showing early signs of a calcium/magnesium deficiency. Whether it was slightly off VPD levels or this particular plant being more demanding, we decided to correct it by increasing the dose of RO Water Conditioner. Now, while this isn’t a direct substitute for Cal-Mag, it does contain trace amounts that can help stabilize the situation. 🔬 Understanding Cal-Mag Deficiency: Calcium and magnesium are essential secondary nutrients. Calcium strengthens cell walls, preventing issues like tip burn and weak stems, while magnesium plays a critical role in chlorophyll production, allowing plants to efficiently absorb light energy. 💡 Signs of Deficiency: • Yellowing between veins (Magnesium) • Rust spots on leaves (Calcium) • Slow growth and weak stems ⚡ How We Address It: • Slightly increasing RO Water Conditioner to see if trace minerals help • Keeping an eye on overall nutrient uptake to ensure no lockout • Monitoring VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) closely to optimize nutrient absorption Let’s see how she reacts next week! Branching Development – Pheno #2 Leading the Race All five phenos are thriving, but Pheno #2 is showing the most aggressive branching, pushing outward faster than her sisters. However, overall, we’re seeing very uniform growth, which speaks volumes about the stability of these genetics. 🌱 What is Branching & Why It Matters? Branching is the plant’s way of expanding its canopy, increasing surface area for photosynthesis, and maximizing potential bud sites. Well-structured branches allow better airflow, light penetration, and more even growth—key for a successful high-yield harvest. ⚖️ Topping vs. Leaf Bending – The Training Choice Instead of topping, I’ve decided to go with leaf bending for now. This method allows for gentle manipulation of the plant’s growth without causing major stress. Once we introduce the SCROG (Screen of Green) net, this training will help maximize the canopy spread. Moving to the TrolMaster Ecosystem – A Game Changer Big move this week—our Runtz girls officially transitioned into the TrolMaster Ecosystem, and let me tell you, they are absolutely loving it! Under the ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs, they’re thriving, leaves praying upward, soaking in that optimized spectrum. 💡 ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs – Why They Work • PPFD of ~400 µmol/m²/s at their level, running only on Channel One • Full-spectrum lighting tailored for optimal vegetative growth • Passive cooling design, keeping temps stable while saving energy Environmental Conditions (Measured on the TrolMaster Tent-X and the AMP-3) • Temp Max: 26.6°C | Min: 16.2°C • RH Max: 77% | Min: 52% • VPD Max: 1.65 kPa | Min: 0.43 kPa • Solution pH: 5.8 • EC: 0.96 • Water Temp: 16.3°C Why These Numbers Matter: • Keeping VPD in check ensures efficient nutrient uptake • pH and EC levels fine-tuned for maximum root absorption • Water temp stable to avoid root shock and slow growth Autopot System Prep – Getting Ready for the Next Phase The week wraps up with us cleaning and preparing the Autopots for their next phase. These self-watering systems will allow the Runtz girls to access water and nutrients at their own pace, optimizing growth as we head into pre-flower soon!

This lady is slowly starting to stretch with short internodes. The grasshoppers are doing the defoliation for me. It's always been sunny for a month, not a cloud on the horizon.😎☀️☀️

Buenas señores ! Esta semana ha sido un poco ajetreada en general, las plantas parecen estar listas ,pero dejaré un poco más con agua sola para quitar todo el alimento que tienen almacenado ya que parecen estar cebadas y vomitando los nutrientes, ya que la ec cuando he cambiado el agua ha subido más de lo que puse,entro siendo alta de 3.55 y ha salido en 6,4 la verdad que una animalada, he optado por dejarles 24h agua sola de ósmosis a ec de 0.08,según han ido pasando las horas ha ido subiendo y en 12 horas estaba en 2,15 de ec, pasadas 24h ya estába en 4,12 y decidí cambiarla de nuevo ,después de 10h esta en 1,65. Pasadas 18h baja a 1,35,eso significa que ya comen de los restos que les quedan. A mitad de esta semana que viene haré cambio de agua y pondre flawles finish durante 24h y cambiaré a agua de ósmosis sin nada con ec de 0.08. Por lo que le he leído el flawles finish de Advance Nutrients se pone durante 6h,yo lo dejaré 24h,luego por lo que he leído dicen que para limpiar raíces dos o tres Días de limpieza, que me parecen pocos y así que unos 4 días y cambio de nuevo a agua limpia otros 4 días más a ver si se consumen ellas mismas y empiezan las carencias haciendo que se coman ellas mismas y dejándolas limpias del todo ya que creo que me he pasado en ec. He tenido que limpiar bien el tanque entero ya que había posos de excesos de abonos y ec ,de tal manera que se había creado una capa de minerales en el tanque y en los riegos que empezaba a joder a las plantas .Esta semana con las lluvias y las bajadas de temperaturas se ha notado en tener que bajar el tiempo de extractores y potencia de ventiladores,así hemos conseguido unas temperaturas y condiciones ideales para el cultivo y la etapa en la están. Ya estamos en el final del cultivo y me sorprende lo rápido que va todo en el cultivo hidroponico, la verdad que la temporada que viene volveré de nuevo con hidroponico y unas cosas que estoy probando para ver si la temporada que viene todo va au mejor ,ya estoy buscando las siguientes elegidas para todo el año que viene y veremos que nos depara. Habrá que hacer la cata y pesaje final para ver como ha ido y a que sabe , que es la mejor parte!!! La verdad que la experiencia de cultivar en sustrato inerte e hidroponico hace que Un entiendas más como alimentar tus plantas y para que es cada elemento de la tabla de cultivo haciendo que se gane en experiencia a la vez que disfrute el aprendizaje en formas nuevas de cultivar! Parámetros : Humedad : 40%/45% Temperatura : 25°C Temperatura agua : 19°C Ph 6,4 en el cambio de agua Ph 6,7 actual EC 0.62 EC de inicio 0.08 agua de ósmosis de los filtros GrowMax 45L de agua Abonos: Advance 2ml/L Flawless Finish Iremos viendo como va esta semana que viene siendo por lo que parece el final ya que hay mucho tricoma ámbar y muchos de los pelos esta marrones a simple vista y no creo que vayan a engordar mucho más. Huelen que da miedo a la vez que embriaga ,tengo ganas de verlas cortadas y colgando!! Nada más en esta actualización semanal! Espero que os guste y gracias por pasaros!! Saludos!!
