🌟 Eternity Grow Cup – Week 3 Veg Report 🌱 Another week in the books, legends, and though the temps aren’t perfect, our Runtz babies are growing strong! 💪 This week marks a pivotal moment as we get serious and start to push these girls toward greatness. 🌱 Growth Update: • The girls are officially showing their third pair of leaves, and while they’re growing slow due to cooler temps, they’re consistent. Standing at 6 cm tall, these beauties are ready for the next steps in their journey. • The yellow sticky traps have also done their job, catching some gnats—always a win for pest management! Let’s talk about the unexpected guests making an appearance in the grow room—gnats! These tiny critters can be a common nuisance for growers, especially in environments with moist soil. While they’re not devastating, they can be a sign that things need a bit of tweaking. Why the Yellow Stickers? Yellow sticky traps are like candy for gnats—they’re irresistibly attracted to the bright color, which mimics flowers. These traps are a simple, non-toxic way to monitor and control the population. It’s not just satisfying to see them stuck (though, let’s admit it, it kind of is)—it’s also a great way to keep tabs on how many are lurking around and take action if necessary. What Causes Gnats? Gnats love moist environments, and overwatering or humidity that’s a bit too high can create their perfect breeding ground. Using high-quality soil like Pro-Mix HP with Mycorrhizae helps, but these little critters can still sneak in. How to Handle Them? While yellow stickers are a great first line of defense, staying vigilant with watering practices is key. Letting the top layer of soil dry out between waterings can disrupt their life cycle. Plus, products like beneficial nematodes or soil conditioners can help keep them under control. They may be tiny, but we’ve got our eye on them! Let’s not let the gnats steal the show—our Runtz have got all the spotlight! 🌟 Nutrient Regimen: This week, we’re sticking with the Aptus Clean Mineral Line for Veg, a powerful combo designed for optimal plant health: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – This keeps the plants strong, aids in stress tolerance, and boosts nutrient uptake. • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L – Balances the water profile and improves nutrient delivery. • All-in-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L – Provides a balanced mix of essential macro and micronutrients for sustained growth. 📌 Key Stats: • pH: 6.05 • EC: 1.0 • Temp: 18.3°C 🔧 Tech, Tools & Building the Dream Studio Behind the grow, I’ve been fine-tuning my workspace. Using just a piece of wood, carefully cut feet, and some imagination, I’ve elevated my monitors for better editing. It’s not fancy, but it works! 💻✨ For the grow, my trusted TrolMaster gear (from the Tent-X to the AMP-3) has been my go-to for precision. Every measure—pH, EC, temps—is logged and tracked to keep these plants thriving. 🌟 Exciting Milestones: 💚 Huge thank you to the community for helping me reach: • 500 YouTube Subscribers 🎥 – Weekly episodes are dropping, so make sure to tune in for detailed updates! • 4.5K Instagram Followers 📸 – Join the fun as we share the Runtz journey and so much more! 💨 Welcome, Ziggi Papers!

Still stacking up buds starting to fill in. I just realized one of my bulbs blew out. So I will replace as soon as I can get one. I have been watering every other day alternating plain water with Beastie Bloomz every other watering. Strawberry Pie is really getting full of resin really sticky has a stronger smell than the others with that strawberry smell really coming through

Day 57 Day 7 Flower 28/06/24 Friday Feed today pH 6.0 -5L No run off. Day 59 Day 9 Flower 30/06/24 Sunday Water + calmag today pH 6.0 - 3L Noticed her starting to throw her pistils out now 😍 . Day 60 Day 10 Flower 01/06/24 Monday Water only today 3L Picture update. I'll get better ones once I can take her out later 🙌💚 Day 61 Day 11 Flower 02/07/24 Tuesday Feed today Full 5L pH 6.0 Run off 5-10%. Looking droopy again today, noticed she was quite dry this time, so fed a large amount and will check again in 12 hours the moisture levels. She' seems to be getting super thirsty 🤯. Bud sites now forming. A nice berry/wood aroma ATM. Picture update 😍 Day 63 Day 13 Flower 04/07/24 Thursday (end of week) Water today with DynoMoCo 1tbsp- 5L. Gave 3L Will update more photos and videos next week during flush 🙌💚 Terrible pictures this week, I haven't had much free time, next week I'll do a photo shoot of her 😍👌

Yesterday she was cut, run off ppms had been at zero for at least 4 days. For what this plant went through in terms of heat and humidity, I believe the outcome of roughly a kg wet is not too bad. Bud have a certain density to them but far away from what I prefer. However the presents of an abundance of Reepes is undeniable. ATM she smells very sweet with a hint of Creme and a bit of pine. She must be quite mold resistant, as the other plant in the tent with her was quite mold riddled and the Afghan didn’t catch anything in that tiny growspace.

Thur 15/2/24 #1 (Day 56)(Day 18 flower) 📋 H=95cm D=18cm DLI=60.2 Hst, remove some side branches. She is now to tall, it's been a bit of a battle to try and keep this one as low as possible. Lowering the DLI for the 1st part of flower definitely seems to have caused her to stretch lots and quickly. Doubt I'll do that again. I'm going to struggle with pictures from now on because of lack of head space. Back soon. Take it easy.

Day 43: stretch phase is over, she grew fast in last week from 28 cm to 45 cm in just a 7 days. Now she's focused on fattening up her buds! I decided to feed her every other watering instead of every watering, but Cal-mag is must for every waterings! HST - Supercroping at day 47: these nodes went too high, so i did the thing! Please don't repeat this at home xD Day 48 plant seems okay, 2 of supercroped nodes are coming back! 3rd will be back soon as well! This plant can take any stress! This is the last day of the week, next few weeks we will see some flower bulking action😁

So as you can see she is now foxtailing, trichomes almost there, she will probably be took done at some point in the next week Thanks for stopping by 👍

On cruise control, just giving 2gallons of ph balanced water every 2-3 days. For the first time I am experiencing white mold/powder. Also first time using scrog and filling out the tent like this. To battle - put an additional fan on the top of the canopy and increased carbon filter to 100% vs 60%. During day leaving bottom flap open for good air exchange - close it when lights are going off. Plants are starting to produce lots of trichomes, I am happy usually I see trichome development a little later. Girls are still stretching - I am noticing the buds are starting to fatten up as well. The smell is amazing , super strong hints of citrus. As I am addicted to Oranges and obsessed with pine sol, this is ok with me :). I love the citrus smells- it is one of the main reasons I got these seeds. I am really noticing a difference in the quality of plant I am getting when growing good seeds vs random clones or seeds. Very resilient and able to recover from anything I've done to her. Wednesday - nutrients - water to run off Saturday - ph balanced water to run off Monday - ph balanced water to run off Wednesday - nutrients

Big differences noticed daily now when checking we are at day 22 and rocking now in these pics see ya guys next week

Hello everyone, These girls are going good, had to get rid of a couple that ended up male, but they started to flower, they should get bigger, lets see how it goes... See you guys next week🤘🤘👊👍👊

One of the plants has a slight pie dough smell, but still very minimal smell when I open the tent. EDIT: the smell is actually making it passed my carbon filter, and I am not sure why it is only 1 of the 2 plants giving off the heavy smell as well. The chunkier/darker colour one is the one that smells real heavy, smells really creamy/doughy. UV/IR has been on for the past few weeks, and will stay on until the end. The plants have gone through a bunch of issues so far, and are still going strong. Gave a tablespoon of power bloom to each, on day 31.

Hellow growers. Not quite sure whats going on but im now under the impression this isnt an auto as labelled. Lights have been on an 18/6 schedule but now i have set them to 12/12. I should be seeing pistils by now if it was an auto lol. I aint mad if it aint but i have veged a monster. Her stem has lots of girth her canopy is nice and even. Defoliated 22/11 Yay positive they are not automatic. So correcting info.

I'll be updating the comment with the daily log shortly, but figured I'd get the photos and weekly overview up. I started off this week with a topping at about the 4th node, leaving the larger fan leaves on for now. I then left then alone for a bit while I waited for the new branches at the nodes to grow out, rotating as needed. By the end of the week, they had all bushed back up with new foliage and growth. I also included photos pf the flowering mother plant to keep up with that sneak peak. She still wasn't showing signs of flowering, so I gave her an extra 24 hours of darkness to hopefully kick start the process. As I went to go shut unplug the light source, I noticed that there was a smaller light leak from one of the vent ports, so I also made sure to close that up. At the end of the week when she started to show signs of flowering, I defoliated her to help with light penetration, as she's got massive fan leaves. You'll see in the photos that I took that opportunity to decarb the trim as well. I'm sure there's little to no THC-A, but whatever other compounds are present should make for a nice addition to some butter later on down the road. I just won't factor it in when approximating the potency of the final product.

2021-11-26 The Pudding is a real Growmonster! Shes supersturdy and has big thick Branches, and leaves like Sandpaper. She reminds me in a Superskunk Plant She is barely to tame, and weare shortening the planned 12 Weeks of Vegetation to 10 Weeks Vegetation So only looking to get 16 Colas .
