I'm very sorry. Everybody had a big move. This past couple weeks, everything settled in one of the plants did not make it unfortunately. This is the sour jealousy 2 weeks into flowering. Change the dose on the blue nutrient, up to fifteen milliliters per gallon, while dropping grow nutrients. Roots have more than filled the bucket and its space growing very well had a small p. H deficiency and stress from the move. Plant is recovering healthy.

As my previous experience, I decided to use 10L pots, which is the best ratio I had last year regarding quantity/soil. First week only with plain water, no Ph regulation

Day 15 - The new week meant a change of water, nutrients and an adjustment of lights. Chong is looking like a short, but sturdy little seedling with broad fan leaves and big roots. Max is 10cm vs. Chong at 7cm and her leaves are perky and the stem is thick. They both look good for their own individual reasons. Looking at the roots specifically, Chong seems to be facing similar problems as Cheech in the Cookies Gelato grow - the aeration in the bucket appears to have “dead zones” because of the colour the roots and the manner in which they are sticking together. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more central in the bucket and cleaned the air tubes because the nutrients stick on the tubes. Other than that, I’ve controlled the PH back down to 6.0 after the addition of the nutrients using the Milwaukee PH controller and decided not to adjust the height of the lights because there was only about 2cm growth this week. Also added the first wire to give Chong a bit of a better bend in her stem, gently starting off the process of LST. Day 20 and the ladies are getting closer to topping. Both are showing clear third nodes with the fourth node opening up. I am sure we will be topping during this next week of veg.

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 !

This strain is currently satisfying us greatly, its name is King Louis Automatic. Let's start by saying that those stained leaves, that problem was solved in a week, I had a lot of fun reading the diagnoses of the social era a little mean and immediately on the most obvious solution: just to remind you not to stop at the first impression I wanted to tell you that not a drop of CAL MAG was used to fix that problem. The symptoms were not well defined and could be misleading, it could have been a light problem of Rusts Spots but it lasted a week, the plant is completely clean now. The other option is that the plant was going into flowering and requiring more Potassium and probably maybe a little magnesium as someone more accurate wrote. I love reading your insults, do it calmly, I come from battle rap, I'm a street bastard, raised in a location that teaches you not to be afraid of anything and respect for those who deserve it. Remember that we are growing a plant treated with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. This plant has started flowering and is in great shape now nothing is damaging it. Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to make a comparison. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is made up of recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). Midweek the pre-flowering started so I decided to start the program for this phase: 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l Power Buds - 4 ml/l Alga Bloom Remember the Green Sensation from the 3rd/4th week of flowering depending on the flowering speed or how you see the calyxes composing, when the calyx is in the swelling phase it is used. We sprayed 5 ml/l of Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. ----------------------------------------------- https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent RQS mycorrhizae that flow in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html Love this strain perfect for main lining! ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11238-zamnesia-seeds-king-louis-automatic.html Brief description of Zamnesia // Say hello to true royalty with King Louis Auto, an autoflowering version of the original King Louis. Bred from OG Kush, LA Confidential and a premium ruderalis cutting, King Louis Auto delivers premium bud fit for a king just a few weeks after germination. As if that wasn't enough, her small size and vigor make her great for almost any grow environment. Incredibly efficient King Louis Auto has inherited the best traits of her photoperiod cousin, all wrapped up in a fast and easy-to-grow seed. With good soil and adequate watering, King Louis Auto seeds will quickly grow into robust and vigorous plants. Once fully mature, these plants will not exceed 80cm indoors, meaning they can easily fit into even the smallest of grow spaces. Likewise, outdoor plants will only reach 100cm, making this strain ideal for guerrilla grows or other environments where discretion is key. And if that wasn't enough, King Louis Auto only takes 9–10 weeks from germination to harvest, after which she'll reward you with yields of up to 300g/m² indoors and 150g/plant outdoors. With its pungent terpenes and high THC levels, King Louis Auto offers a fragrant and relaxing experience. When you open your jars of buds, you'll immediately notice intense scents of pine, damp earth and fragrant wood. After inhaling her equally complex smoke or vapor, you'll be hit with a deep, relaxing body stone that's perfect for those moments of well-earned rest and relaxation. With 24% THC, King Louis Auto hits hard and takes ef The whole world of cultivation and much more is on Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

Start of week 5 . Flowering is really picking up. And the ladies seem happy. Fed with straight water today. All the girls have received a defoliation and lst adjustments. Watered with phed 6.2. On January 20th. Blondie is short and bushy so far only measures 11 inches tall. She has started to show signs of flowering but no real flowers yet. She's running behind alittle for sure. The Banana Purple Punch is measuring at 20 inches tall by 22 inches wide. Fast Bud Mixed Auto Pat Benatar is 15 1/2 inches and 18 inches wide. Mixed Auto Blondie is 11 inches tall and 13 inches . End of week 5. Watered the girls with a gallon each of 6.5 ph water. Blondie is a short girl and she's a little behind in her flowering.

Getting to be a real jungle in there. I did some more defoliation to get better light penetration, but only on the fan leaves. They're growing so fast you'd think I hadn't defoliated atall within a couple of days.

This week was the start of the flush. After some research and debating on the subject, decided to flush all plants but #8. Wanted to get our own conclusions as to whether or not flushing is necessary. Excited to see the results. Plant #1 - 3500ml water Ph between 6.00 - 6.10 Plant #2 - 3500ml water Ph between 6.00 - 6.10 Plant #6 - 2000ml water Ph between 6.00 - 6.10 Plant #8 - 8ml in 3000ml water Ph between 6.00 - 6.10 Busted out the professional macro camera to check the trichomes. Thanks to a family member for helping out, but I am unable to post any pictures taken sorry all

Start of week 4. This girl stretched an inch during week 3 and her bud sites continued to pack on size and take shape. She is very sticky to the touch, with a slight citrus, earthy smell.

April 6, 2021 (Day 92, Flower 43): Everything looks great. Trying to get humidity down another 5% this week. Averaging 30% rH and 72℉. April 7, 2021 (Day 93, Flower 44): Plants are looking and smelling amazing. No complaints. Looks like Unknown 2 may finish up a bit before the others - guessing due to the genetics. Unknown 2 is incredibly frosty and smells very rich and dank. Very excited for the dry and cure! Gelato 1 and Unknown 1 seem to be about in line with each other development-wise. Averaging 30% rH and 72℉. April 8, 2021 (Day 94, Flower 45): Pots were light. Watered with 4l per plant with 4ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus + 1tsp/gal Humboldt Nutrients Big Up Finishing Powder at 6.4 pH. This waiting game is so difficult! Love opening my tent each day and being punched in the face by this smell! Just overall amazing experience so far. Averaging 30% rH and 72℉. April 9, 2021 (Day 95, Flower 46): Plants look amazing. Took my microscope to Unknown 2 today and the crystal development is insane. Averaging 30% rH and 72℉. April 10, 2021 (Day 96, Flower 47): Can't. Wait. For. HARVEST! Getting close! I think I will start flushing Unknown 2 but continue the feeding schedule for the other two plants. It is looking like Unknown 2 has a couple week shorter flower time than the others. Perfectly a-ok with me - then I can smoke it sooner! Averaging 30% rH and 74℉. April 11, 2021 (Day 97, Flower 48): Pots were light. Watered with 4l per plant with 4ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.1 pH. Starting to flush Unknown 2 from this watering onward. April 12, 2021 (Day 98, Flower 49): No report.

Ultima semana de nuestras northern light xL y aunque no destaquen de las demás por su olor, sacaron un gran tamaño nuestras flores. Bastante productoras, ya veremos en peso que nos dan . Son algo más complicadas de cultivar que las otras 2 del mismo proyecto. Pero no es una dificultad extrema, solo que hay que aguantarlas un poco más y tener cuidado con las carencias ya que chupa bastante comida. No pinta mal esta cepa veremos los resultados las siguientes semanas. Buen cultivo nada de plagas y no tuvimos que tutores todas, solo algunas 😂 Nos vemos la próxima familia.

She is a beast at the end of week 5 (day 35). LST Goal: Create an even FLAT Canopy with out the use of Scrog nets or stakes. This is achieved by tying down all the branches evenly, so that every top gets the same amount of exposure to light, air and nutrients.
