I left my brother to mist the seedlings whilst i was in amsterdam for 4 days, got back expecting growth but found the plants have stretched and looked leggy and not much growth apart from stretch…(should have took photos before repot) I planted the seedlings in clear plastic cups with holes punched into the bottom, the medium was very moist and wasn’t seeming to dry out soo i decided i would repot in red cups as i heard clear cups are bad for roots…(feed the girls very lighly was due to bad drainage more then over watering)… I used fresh coco and pulled away as much moist coco as possible without disturbing roots, i added great white to the medium and root balls of the seedlings and repotted burying the stretched stem as much as possible… I didn't water the coco prior or after the repot as i didn’t want to stress the plant further if the roots have been getting drowned by excess water in the coco due to poor drainage, i sprayed mist above all seedlings when all was transplanted very very lightly with a micro dose of rhizotonic by canna… 1 blueberry muffin seedling looks like its going to die the other 2 are okay. I have attached photos after transplant should have photographed before transplant but didn’t 😅 When should i water next seedlings are hard work i usually runs clones that come of a defent size and root structure…🤷‍♂️ My ppm is 150 tds from the tap Ec is 0.4 out the tap Im dechlorising my water with tap safe for 24 hours before use. I have been recommended to ph to 5.8 is this correct ? My temps are around 23-28 degrees And humidity around 55% - 80% Love for reading this far, i will be posting a update every week, Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated 👊❤️

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

Upgraded to a Sanlight 1.5 Evo 4 120 and its such a lovely piece of engineering! I reallly love it! Imo its worth every Penny, especially for the lengthy grow tents like my 120x60 (4x2). Gave another dosage of the organic phosphor flower booster. I got kinda scared about botritis/bud rot because she was su bushy snd had overlapping bud sites…. so i defoliated her insides pretty rigorously. Maybe not the best for autos but id rather have sloved growth than a moldy crop lol. Some buds really look very thick and resinous but some lack a bit behind. Day 63: removed a few more leaves but i hope the airflow in my tent will help me to keep avoid any bud rot.

1/4/26 1:26 AM. This is me starting a diary accidentally a day too early iced tea had some problems. The cocoa had something in it and the root hit it and it screwed up so I’ve flushed it out. I put another seed in and she’s doing just great. I’ve never had this happen before so I must’ve. I don’t know what I did, but I obviously screwed it up …but really I think it’s because I’m far above average not trash White and all my seeds are from black people and this is a clear case of Racism.😡😂😂😂 I’m gonna write a book about my struggles. I think you’re all gonna really enjoy it.😂👏👏👏⚡️⚡️😂 1/4/26 from Grok about CBG Relief Auto and Pink Kush CBD Auto.... 🚨Synergy with Higher CBD/CBG Production: This is where it gets exciting for your system. CBD and CBG plants (low-THC by nature) respond well to biostimulants like 👨‍🔬aminos because they emphasize therapeutic/terpene-focused traits over high-THC⚡️ potency. Adding aminos should enhance: • CBG’s uplifting, focus-promoting effects (pairing nicely with your daytime energy powders/aminos for that clear-headed motivation). • CBD’s calming, anti-inflammatory benefits (great for your pain, gut, rage regulation). • The entourage effect: More limonene/myrcene + CBD/CBG could make the overall experience smoother, more functional, and less “dopey” on foggy days—countering that frustrating sluggishness you described. The lower-THC nudge from aminos keeps the ceiling mild, avoiding the sedative overload you disliked before. • Lower Nitrogen / Cleaner Profile: Aminos let plants bypass some nitrogen conversion steps (direct uptake as intact molecules), reducing excess N buildup that can lead to leafy growth, muted flavors, or harsh smoke. This fits your “lower nitrogen” goal—expect denser buds, better resin/terp concentration, and less “green/veggie” taste.🚨 1/4/26 2:42AM The tub in 237 is clogged, AGAIN ..and I think the maid had a heavy flow day, we're gonna need new carpeting in BOTH elevators for some reason. And keep the butler out of the dogs room, he'll get carpel tunnel again!! 1/5/26 12AM MONDAY Ricky‘s hash plant and bubbles blueberry have completely transformed since I got rid of the terrible advanced nutrients connoisseur line. I’m not giving them any breaks. They are one star product and I’m done with them. I’m gonna have to top all the plants now they are doing so good. They’ve become so big and bushy. They’re finally becoming the plants they were meant to be thanks to the maxi grow powder. No more burns. Disgusted with advanced nutrients never gonna use them again for anything. 1/5/26 11:20Pm...... Im so good at this, it's all too strong!! They all look great. THE TASTE HAS TOTTALLY CHANGED!!!! PERPETUAL SALAD GARDEN IMPROVED 100 PERCENT!! MAXI POWDER CHANGED THE FLAVOR PROFILE TO WAY WAY BETTER......AN WAS TERRIBLE FOR TASTE. EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING !! 1/6/26 5:32AM NosfurCHURUtu......the cat treat vampire.....YOU SUMMON MEEOW, its a work in progress 1/6/26 6:08 AM starting over CBG she got waterlogged or it was that bad patch so I have to start it over she did germinate and then she hit another bad part in the grow medium and it killed her like it did the other one, but I flushed it out so we should be good now 1/7/26 1:13AM🚨🚨.I asked about light efficiency and Grok said:.... That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/6/26 5:32AM The ICE T character arc journey!!!!!!! A film by a White man....HA HA HA!!!!

They’re looking good. Not as uniform as I would like. Back right is the runt and hasn’t quite thrown pistils yet. Back left and front right have stretched about the same. Will do I good defol and top dress around day 21 Should still be a full tent Day 15- did a decent defol and ditched the trellis. Also did a top dress of 2-8-4, worm castings, and craft blend.

Hi growmes I'm happy with our my good plant is coming along I thought my little Mars hydro sp150 light was not powerful enough for a 2x2 tent in flower but when reading the master growers diaries with the same plagron nutrients and Zamnesia biscotti seeds there girls was not joining up into huge Cola's so I'm guessing it was genetics but I'm still very happy with all that I have learnt for my first grow. Was reading this week's growweedeasy newsletter and there was a photo of a members first grow hanging up drying and growweedeasy were saying this could be you if you pay for our master class and I know your harvest will get smaller when they are drying but they were all little and airy not even one big main cola if anyone gets a chance take a look it's a joke considering this is the picture there using to advertise signing up and paying for their master class. Also my diaries are out by about two weeks but can't be bothered to change it not very computer savvy but I still think this app is hard to use but should get better the more I use it 😂

Esta semana los nutrientes siguen de la misma manera, es notorio el exceso de Nitrogeno por ende se disminuira en los próximos riegos, se realizaron podas apicales en los clones que no les hice anteriormente para que alcanzaran más altura. Dentro de esta semana instalare la malla scrog Kanovi para guiar los vigorosos brotes. Además esta semana ya esta retomando el crecimiento la planta madre variedad Tangie la cual cumplió su ciclo de propagación por esquejes y porfin florecerá. Leo comentarios, opiniones y recomendaciones

🌱 The Road to Eternal Glory: My Eternity Grow Cup Journey 🌟 First off, a massive thank you to Grow Diaries, Plagron, and Zamnesia for organizing this groundbreaking competition. Your efforts in bringing growers together and elevating the craft are nothing short of legendary. To all the participants: I wish you the best of luck. Let’s make this an inspiring and memorable experience for everyone involved! 💚 Why I’m Excited I can’t express how thrilled I am to be part of the Eternity Grow Cup. This is more than just a grow—this is about pushing boundaries, learning, and sharing the magic with this incredible community. For me, it’s also a chance to reconnect with an old friend: the Zamnesia Runtz. This was one of my all-time favorite strains, a true keeper, until an unfortunate heatwave took her away. But here we are again, Runtz and I, ready to make history together. The Setup: A Glimpse of the Future To make this grow truly legendary, I’m using state-of-the-art equipment: • Lighting: The Future of Grow LED Black Series 600W or the germination, and after i am moving it all to my TM ecosystem Stay tuned, and controlled by the powerhouse TrolMaster Tent-X system, ensuring precision and optimal conditions every step of the way. • Nutrients: A custom mix of Aptus Holland and Plagron nutrients—because innovation meets reliability in this grow. • Medium: The ever-dependable Pro-Mix HP with Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae, ensuring strong roots and vigorous growth. • Germination Station: Seeds will sprout in my trusted CannaKan Germination Station, which has never let me down. Let’s Make Magic Together This is more than a diary—it’s a journey filled with learning, growth, and shared passion. I invite you to follow along not just here, but on Instagram and YouTube, where the magic will truly unfold. Expect deep dives into every step of the process, tips, tricks, and, of course, a final smoke report that’ll be as epic as the grow itself. From this moment until the last puff, this journey will be nothing short of epic. Together, let’s make it one for the history books—educational, inspiring, and unforgettable. Stay tuned for the next update: The Germination Report. Let’s rise and shine, legends! 🌟 🌱 The Germination Report: A New Beginning for the Eternity Grow Cup 🌟 First and foremost, I want to wish the best of luck to all the participants in the Eternity Grow Cup. To our incredible hosts—Grow Diaries, Plagron, and Zamnesia—thank you for creating this phenomenal platform and competition. You’re elevating the craft, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of it! 💚 The Journey Begins: Germination Success! Every great grow starts with the perfect germination, and I’m excited to share how I kicked off this legendary adventure. Using my trusted CannaKan Germination Station, I started the Zamnesia Runtz seeds—my old favorite strain—with the hope of finding a pheno as extraordinary as the passion fruit treasure I once had. The Process: My Way to Germination Glory Remember, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” method in growing. What works best is what adapts to your environment. Here’s how I do it: 1. Choosing the Right Tools • I use the CannaKan Germination Station, a tool I trust for consistent results. • With cold temperatures in my setup, I relied on a heat mat to maintain warmth, though it was still a little nerve-wracking! 2. The 24-Hour Miracle • Within less than 24 hours, the seeds had already sprouted and were ready to move into their next home. Seeing that spark of life so quickly is always magical. 3. Moving to Soil • I carefully transplanted each seedling into tiny pots filled with Pro-Mix HP with Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae, which offers excellent aeration and support for root development. • Each pot was labeled Runtz #1–5, ensuring I can track every pheno individually as the journey unfolds. 4. Sprouting Against the Odds • Despite the cold temps, those little warriors jumped out of the soil within 48 hours! Their resilience and vigor have me beyond excited for what’s to come. Tips for Germination Success Here’s what I’ve learned to keep germination smooth: • Consistency is key: Whether it’s moisture, temperature, or light, try to create a stable environment for your seeds. • Gentle hands: Handle your seeds with care when moving them; they’re delicate at this stage. • Adapt to your environment: No method is universal—always tweak your process to fit your conditions. • Patience: Sometimes, seeds need a little extra time to sprout. Keep faith! Next Steps: The Adventure Awaits Now that the seedlings are up and thriving, it’s time to let the journey truly begin. I’ll be hunting for that passion-fruit-like pheno that captured my heart last time, but every seed holds the potential for greatness. For now, I’m keeping it simple: plain water, no nutrients—just letting them establish strong roots. Stay Tuned for the Magic This is only the beginning. I invite you to follow along on Instagram and YouTube, where I’ll be sharing photos, videos, and behind-the-scenes updates. Expect plenty of knowledge, tips, and excitement as we navigate this grow together. To all the participants: good luck, and let’s make this Eternity Grow Cup one for the history books! 🌟 Genetics - Runtz https://www.zamnesia.com/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html Nutrients - Plagron https://plagron.com/en/hobby - Aptus Holland https://aptus-holland.com/ Controls - Trol MAster https://www.trolmaster.eu/ LED - https://www.futureofgrow.com/en LED - https://www.thinkgrowled.com Soil - https://www.promixgardening.com/en Germination - Cannakan https://cannakan.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopXr-inLXajXu3QFgKXCXXos4F1oEvScjMKIB5MR5dk8-GJ-F49 DOGDOCTOR 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciloved and i fell honored with you all in my life With true love comes happiness Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant.

Welcome growers With this week, the vegetation phase is ended for this pretty PINK KUSH 🌳 She has a very big leaves, even more than my hands and the stem is very prominent It's a vigorous strain and for now dosen't request to many attention...like almost any plants if they are in a good envroiment She has also react well at the topping last week and in a few days im going to cut off some leafs for a better airflow and light penetration.. A little bit of stress, in a right way and at the right time, it's always good Anyway.. In this last seven days i have reduced the lights cycle from 16/8 on/off to 14/10 on/off 💡 At the same time i have increase the intensity of my two led SP3000 from 50% to 75% and im going to put them at the maximum potency after the switch at 12/12 The two led panel are connected with a cable and i have only to adjuste the dimmer of one of them for change the intensity of each one, in just one move.. About nutrients 👇 In this week i still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) for the first time and a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {not in spray solution but mixed with the othersone in to the water} Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 Works great to mee 💯 And that's all.. Next week we are officially in flowering, so stay tuned 🌻 Thank you so much for stopping and watching 😎👍👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

Last week of veg, i think these girls will start to flower the next couple of days! At the moment great results under this TS1000 as always! We gave a very light nutrients this week just to jave some nitrogen as im using a light mix as soil, lets see how it goes the next weeks 😁💪 1 of the 6 cherry colas showed some strange leaves not sure if its genetics or what happened with that plant but lets see if she continues to flower normally now or not
