First week of flower is in the books. I posted my feeding schedule in the pics above. If you find yourself looking at it wondering why you're seeing back to back feeds with mycos or teas its because with organics you never want to let your pots dry out. You obviously dont want to waterlog the pots but you need to find that balance with watering so as to keep your ecosystem happy and active. It's not a feed/water/water system where you're watering every other day as you do with salt based bottled nutrients. Always remember you're feeding the microboes/fungi/bactria and they are feeding your plants. If you dry your pots out with organics those elements become dormant and or die off which will lead to deficiencies and a weakened immune system. The week was going smoothly until last night. The timer for whatever reason didnt kill the lights after 12 hrs had past so they got a little over an hr of extra light. To help maintain consistency with the plants I just altered on/off times to make sure they still recieved 12 hrs of darkness. So I was running 6pm-6am now with the overage last night I'm running 730pm-730am. I have heard some horror stories about how something like this has affected people's plants but they are few and far between. I'm not overly worried about it as a plant thats growing outdoors never gets a true 12/12 lighting period. I caught it early, adjusted my lighting schedule to accommodate a 12 hr off period, and being so early in the flowering stage I should be ok. Obviously it goes without saying but this is taboo and not something you want to be making a habit of with photoperiod plants. My dehumidifier also decided to do it's own thing last night and didn't shut off as per the settings (set to 45%) and as a result it pulled my humidty down to 39% down from the 45%-47% that the room usually runs at. As a result my temps rose into the 28-29 Celsius range overnight up from the 25-26 Celcius (my preferred flowering temps) that the room usually sees. So she was quite the party downstairs while I was sleeping. To my surprise when I turned the lights on the plants looked very happy and healthy and immediately started praying to the sun gods. I got lucky here with respect to what I was speaking about above with watering practices and organics. As I keep my pots in the sweet spot with daily waterings this didnt negatively affect the plants. I've prepped and am bubbling a compost tea (posted a video) which will be fed tomorrow. I also through some organic popcorn seeds and organic mung bean seeds in the seed sprouter (pic posted above) to make a popcorn/mung bean SST for the plants that's loaded with all kinds of enzymes and goodness. It's also pretty sweet to be able to say you feed your plants popcorn. Like I mean really though 😁. I'll talk a little more about SSTs next week but if your curious about it there are many websites about this topic, homesteadandchill.com would be a great place to start. They lightly touch on topic without diving to deep into the science behind it so it's easy reading to help introduce you.

I had to transfer to the bigger pots the week. There was a lot of stretch in the cups and they were falling over. so will see how it goes this week. Coco with the Azomite and a little clone x myco powder at the root base, Just a baby feeding 1 mil/gal of the three part Emerald Harvest and Cal Mag in a 5 gallon bottle. PH at 6.1, then another 5 gallons of plain PH 6.2 water no food to get run off from the pots. The runoff was PH 5.8 so in happy with that. I got the time-lapse running so I will post it at the end of each week moving in to the next one. waiting on a green filter for the camera to help adjust the color so everything will not look blurpule. Cheers.

🌸 Week 3 Flower – Growing Strong, Tall, and Vibrant! 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! It’s already Week 3 in flower, and I’m thrilled to bring you this update because these plants are doing phenomenally well! Some are stretching up so tall that I might have to get creative in the coming weeks! Fruit production is well underway, and it’s absolutely amazing to watch the canopy fill out as these girls reach their potential. Aptus Holland Pack Unboxing & New Additions This week kicked off with a big arrival: the Aptus Holland nutrient pack! šŸ™Œ I couldn’t wait to share the unboxing with you all; there’s a video up where I go through all the goodies, so check it out if you haven’t yet! Between the photos and videos, you’ll be able to see just how well these nutrients are already feeding these green beauties. Having a blast sharing more content lately—I’m in the zone with editing and creating, so get ready for even more shares! šŸŒ”ļø Environmental Control and Fine-Tuning the Reservoir pH Temps this week have been holding around 27.2°C with RH at 65.2% and CO2 at 800 ppm, creating a VPD of 1.26 for ideal flower development. The lighting intensity is at 833 PPFD, and the solution in the reservoir is fine-tuned to a pH of 6.22, EC of 475, with a temp of 21.8°C. Let’s talk pH in the reservoir: it’s a dynamic process, and I’m constantly adjusting it to keep everything at the right level. The pH tends to rise throughout the week, and each day, I work it back down, fine-tuning it to keep those plants happy and balanced. Managing pH is truly a hands-on job, and it’s worth every moment. I love staying on top of it for optimal nutrient uptake—it’s all about consistent effort and keeping that perfect range dialed in. Leaf Maintenance & Selective Defoliation These leaves are HUGE and gorgeous, creating a lush canopy that’s nearly too perfect! I’ve been taking a few leaves here and there, focusing on leaves that may be blocking light from reaching lower parts of the plant. Selective defoliation at this stage is key because it opens up airflow and allows light to penetrate deep, boosting energy distribution across the whole plant. Big, healthy leaves mean we’re getting excellent photosynthesis, but a gentle, strategic defoliation can guide that energy toward those developing buds. Leaf removal is all about balance, giving the plant space to breathe and thrive while still maximizing growth in flower! 🌐 TrolMaster + App – Real-Time Precision Huge shoutout to the TrolMaster system and the app—keeping everything in sync and at peak performance is honestly effortless with this ecosystem. The app provides a full overview of each environmental parameter, allowing me to make real-time adjustments as needed and track trends over time. The precision here is unbeatable, giving me complete control over temps, humidity, CO2, and VPD, ensuring my girls are in a controlled paradise 24/7. What I love most is how the app records everything automatically, so I always know exactly where things stand without having to keep separate records. If you haven’t tried TrolMaster yet, it’s a total game-changer for any grow setup! šŸ’„ Shoutouts & Gratitude Massive shoutout to TrolMaster and Aptus Holland for powering this grow with tech and nutrition that’s second to none. And, of course, gratitude to Pro-Mix for the superb growing medium and to the seed banks behind the genetics. We’re running strong thanks to each of you. And to the whole community—thank you, everyone, from new friends to seasoned followers, lovers to haters. Your energy, whatever form it comes in, is all part of this journey, and I’m so grateful for it all. Special shoutout this week to my brother Daggadna—head over to IG and give him a follow! And if you’re loving the journey, remember to like, comment, and subscribe—it really helps the channel grow and reach others who may also dig this content!

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

Just tucking away 🤣🤣🤣 Last weeks feeding was slightly too high for transition. I am realizing that the amount of fulvic/humid acid reduces the need for full strength ratios. This week we are going to feed 800 again, as the need for ppm’s has increased, but I am going to stay under 850 unless I see deficiency in leaves. The photosynthesis plus has been added to the mix. I know, I have recharge. However, there are certain strains in PP that recharge does not have. Specifically there is a strain for absorbing more from the lights. I have some purple stems from the light being a little to intense. We will be adding a little more cal-mag to the next feeding also. Looks like feeding will take place Tuesday/Wednesday this week. All plants are female and no Herms present for the party šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ 10-25 did a pre-feed of cal-mag, 8 oz. Later this evening I will do the main feeding 3 cups. The ratios are still 8-8-8 at 800 ppm’s. The extra ppm’s come in the form of extra cal-mag. Did some tucking as I am in stretch phase. So I work with a grower who is 76 years old. He has some old school techniques that make sense. He pre-waters his containers with 25% water. The remainder 75% is either nutrients OR additives that need to be added to the water. I took it a step further. I added cal-mag to the pre-water stage. Then I fed the nutrients second stage. Cal-mag is the ā€œcarrierā€ for nutrients throughout the plant. ā€œAdding the nutrients after, makes it easy for the nutrients to fully saturate the soil and reach all the roots. This also prevents salt build up.ā€ Ron’s Words. I will say my containers held double the amount of water using his method. 10-28 added some reflective material around the sides. My Growmie at RedmanFarms suggested I add it to the room. I am inside of an open air room for flowering cycle. Today was watering day. First watering was a light dose of cal/mag. Second watering was kelp, seaweed, photosynthesis plus, monk beans SST, fulvic/humic acid. One of the plants ( top left) seems to have a sulpher/magnesium deficiency ( it’s also the one with the soil I don’t like). I made some Iron/Tone tea by Espoma at 200 ppm’s and did a foliar feed. So far I see some progress on purple recessing and the growth has started to match the other 4. I have 1 more week of tucking to do and then I do a HEAVY defoliation on day 21. After than I won’t touch the plants other than feedings and water.

Esta planta realmente fue Muy rÔpida ya que se le recortó el tiempo de vegetación para alcanzar una buena floración en el maceto en el que estÔba, fue un experimento para ver qué podía hacer esta cepa en poco sustrato para minimizar gastos las fertilizadas también fueron mínimas y con fertilizantes naturales elaborados en la zona.como lo son: humus de lombriz y en floración melaza hubo algunos problemas de mildiu oidiom pero se solucionaron con una mezcla de leche con bicarbonato de sodio y así como vino se fue el hongo. Es una planta muy resistente tanto en vegetativo como en floración en su floración el olor de la planta es muy fuerte solo por pasar cerca de ella te envolverÔ su olor. En conclusión estoy feliz con los resultados y la rapidez con la que fue cultivada esta cepa sin duda la volvería a tener en mi jardín

Trying flawless finish for the first time, hoping it will help with this rushed flowering stage. Really unfortunate to have to cut this one short, but some things in life are out of our control... Anyway, harvest is currently curing. Check out the results and leave a like/comment cos I'm always looking for constructive criticism! Lets gooo

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, šŸšŸ˜Ž I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed
