This plant man. Had to remove the 2nd and 4th node branches because they just weren’t doing anything. Stems were bright purple and the buds were tiny. Decided it was best to just chop them off. Buds are plumping up nicely. She is actually at day 72 right now. Think she’s got 7-10 days left, we’ll see.

Loud hashy, pepper, sulfur, rotten fruit, lemon, and Skittles terps. The landraces got nice structure, terps and yield but resin is lacking. I think that's normal. Gonna have to cross these a few times till I find something great that is worth it.

Greetings, fellow cultivators and celestial gardeners! Week 6 marks a cosmic milestone in our Apolo F1's journey, as she gracefully enters her second week of flowering. Join me in this week's botanical odyssey, where our green companion ventured to the moon, and we unleashed the floral symphony in spectacular fashion. Our Apolo F1 reached for the stars this week, prompting a decision to release her from the supportive wires that once guided her dance. Like a lunar explorer exploring newfound terrain, she responded with an astounding display of growth. The shackles are off, and our green companion is free to unfurl her celestial beauty. As we embark on the second week of flowering, the floral symphony is unveiled in all its glory. Buds are forming and growing, a testament to the vibrant energy our Apolo F1 gathered during her lunar sojourn. Each petal, a note in this harmonious botanical composition. In this week's horticultural performance, a new player graces the stage. Aptus Holland Topbooster joins the nutrient ensemble, replacing the Startbooster. This strategic move is a testament to the rich soil we've crafted, teeming with vitality. The botanical orchestra is now playing a new melody, and our green virtuoso is responding with grace. The nutrient-rich serenade with a TDS of 420 ppm and a pH of 6.3. The transition from the last veg mix water to the flower mix, coupled with the addition of Topbooster, ensures our Apolo F1 is receiving the tailored nourishment needed for this stage of her celestial bloom. A heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the orchestrators of this botanical symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for providing the stellar genetic star of our green opera. The journey to the moon and back has been nothing short of magical, and we're just getting started! Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the continued celestial bloom and the unfolding drama of a truly lunar harvest. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever cosmic! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

Not going to call flower on this one yet, but it looks like she is starting to stretch and switching to flower. She has really strong branches and everything is running smooth. Tried to spread her branches out a little but she fights every bend. Probably just do some defoliation on her and let do her thing.

Defoliated the younger branches and feed her some fish fertiliser. I await the pre flower mode so I can transplant to their new home. Strangely these girls are always light green I fed her some more fertiliser for confirmation during the week.

Start of WK3 day 17 of flower. As you can see the sour diesel has not stretched past the others. I just bought a new light (SE4500) and been hanging it about 30 inches from the canopy and this has def influenced this stretch. The northern lights is my favorite structure so far, really tight nodes and are going to form some nice colas. The Grandaddy purp I think has the most uniform canopy and feel its gonna fill out nicely. Top dressed on 3-16 with Gaia green power bloom and all purpose along with some worm castings

Week 11 all of the girls are doing very good. I have no insect damage which is great especially when growing outside with the wilderness so close to me the runts layer cake is right under 8 feet. The apple fritter is also nearing 8 feet. The Dusty dose 33 is a little over 7 feet tall the sherbet cream cake is a little over 6 feet tall.

🌸 Eternity Grow Cup — Week 16 (Flower Week 5) 🌸 What a week it has been in the garden! The bounce back from last week’s defoliation has been nothing short of spectacular. The girls took it like true champions — vibrant, strong, and absolutely loving their environment. Episode 19 on YouTube will shows it best in 4K: a garden covered in frost, energy, and pure beauty from every angle. From top canopy to undergrowth, everything is stacking up, sparkling, and showing off. 🌱 Feeding & Nutrients Update: This week’s reservoir was all about precision and balance. We made a powerful blend designed to meet their blooming needs with care and control. Here’s the nutrient mix: • Breaking Powder: 24g per 50L • All-In-One Liquid • Regulator • System Clean (because clean roots are happy roots) • Green Sensation for that extra bloom push We started with: • EC: 0.04 • pH: 5.94 • Temp: 19.5°C And after everything blended beautifully: • EC: 2.33 • pH: 6.2 • Temp: 20.7°C Perfectly balanced. The girls responded immediately — color, posture, and trichome production have all visibly improved. CO₂ — Controlled and Conscious: Our TrolMaster MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor is a silent hero in the tent. With real-time readouts, we’re always in tune with the environment, keeping CO₂ dialed in just right to boost growth without overdoing it. This sensor has given me the confidence to tweak and learn, keeping everything optimized for life. 🔆 Lighting & Spectrum Tuning: Sharing is caring — not just in smoke (😉) but in photons too. And this grow is a masterclass in light distribution: • Model 1s above are delivering that precision-tuned spectrum. • We’re currently using more deep red and far red, lowering the white and boosting UV — perfect for this flowering stage. • Below, the ICL 300s are creating magic. They’re lighting up the underside and giving those lower buds the love they deserve. Bottom to top — the light is reaching, and it’s showing. Photos this week include each of the four spectrum channels on display — white, far red, deep red, and UV — because this garden is more than just growth… it’s a symphony of light and life. 💨 Airflow, Structure, and Style: Let’s not forget airflow — our system is dialed. Between extraction, the AeroFan, and vortex placements, everything circulates like a dream, supporting this insane terpene profile and trichome party. We are dancing in the rhythms of harmony and structure. 🌟 Final Notes: Each of the Runtz phenos #1–5 is a queen in her own right. They’re developing character, expressing personality, and it’s such a joy to witness it unfold. This week is proof of what happens when care, science, and love combine. Thank you to all the growers out there following this journey. Your support means everything. Huge gratitude to GrowDiaries, Plagron, Zamnesia for this Eternity Cup and for all,to all my sponsors, and to you reading this. Lovers, haters, dreamers — we’re all growing together.

Week 9 / pictures at 63 days old. So everything has been pretty much the same as last week. No vertical growth but everything looking fatter and frostier! Still soaking up lots of water - 1.5litres every other day with 3ml of bloom nutrients in each. Removed a fair few leaves today - the unhealthy old ones from round the bottom and the ones getting in the way and touching the buds. Purple skunk buds still looking fatter than sticky orange. Sticky orange pistils started turning orange last week so I think she is going to be ready first but with a smaller yield. Purple skunk pistils have started turning orange today. Temperatures are higher this week and have reached 30 in the tent but spring is here so temps in general are higher outside. Was hoping it would stay lower as I really wanted the purple skunk buds to turn purple! They apparently prefer it cold before the purple comes out. But we’ll see what next week brings. I feel like we’re on the home stretch now. Each week gets more and more exciting and I just want them to get FAT! Again, pictures and videos just don’t do them justice - they look so much better in the flesh!

10/27 - Today is technically day 28 since germination. I would normally wait three more days before doing this update, but enough has changed, I figured it warranted documenting it early. Today I did a solution change to half-strength week 3 guidelines per the Dyna-Gro feed schedule from their website. This gave me a ppm of 740 total, including 170 ppm tap (measured using Hanna Primo .5 conversion). This gives me 570ppm (1.14ec) of nutrients. The solution was changed about four hours prior to their nap time (of four hours in length). Shortly after the lights came back on I noticed this discoloration on her roots (as shown above in picture and video). Both ladies in the video were given the exact same solution at the same time and now show noticeably different ppms (Sour Diesel Auto - 770ppm; Amnesia XXL Auto - 720ppm). I'm not sure why they are exhibiting different reactions to the same solution. She doesn't seem to be showing any other negative effects at this point. Root growth is phenomenal and her vegetation has only accelerated since being topped. Just slightly concerned about what to do with the root issue. I have thought about adding Botanicare Hydroguard since the smaller buckets will run slightly warmer in temp. Once they start drinking more, I will bump them up to 5 gallon buckets, but that's not needed at this time. Any advice, questions, or observations are very welcome. This is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna-Gro. Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a precaution regarding her potential root issue. Res temps are mid-seventies, so I'd say it's a safe move and some relatively cheap insurance. Edit: 10/31 - PPMs kept increasing up close to 800 from the original 740. Added pH'd water to dilute right close to 700ppm. Would have diluted more, but that was touching the bottom of the net pot. Removed two main fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised both to 18" above canopy.
