🌸 Week 8 Flower – The Trichome Symphony Begins 🌸 Eternity Grow Cup This week… it’s all about the frost. ❄️ We are diving deep into the universe of trichomes, those magical crystal-like structures that define potency, aroma, and visual beauty. Each pheno this week is presented with its own dedicated video — so everyone can witness the uniqueness and evolution of these genetics firsthand. The photos? Focused close and true on the trichomes and their stalks, the very essence of the plant’s protective and expressive language. 💎 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are tiny resin glands that cover the surface of cannabis flowers and sugar leaves. They’re responsible for producing and storing cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids — the compounds that create the plant’s effects, scents, and flavors. They act as the plant’s natural defense — from UV rays, pests, and environmental stress — and in return, they gift us with beauty, medicine, and art. Why So Many Trichomes Here? This room has turned into a crystal forest thanks to a harmonious mix of tech, care, and nature: 🔹 Spectrum Tunings: Using the TrolMaster system, we’ve dialed in a spectrum rich in reds, far-reds, and UV at precise times to stimulate trichome production. The plants are responding in full. 🔹 Lighting: The under-canopy power of the ICL 300s, combined with the canopy-level intensity of the Model 1s, is creating full-spectrum saturation from top to bottom. Buds are stacked, frosty, and glowing from every angle. 🔹 Nutrition Synergy: The tag-team of Aptus Holland and Plagron has been flawless. The clean base, balanced micro and macro elements, and biostimulants have driven these girls into full expression mode. You can see the nutrition working in every crystal. 🌿 Where Are We Now? We’re likely one week to ten days from harvest, but of course we’ll follow the plants’ signals. They’re still swelling and building — it’s the final stretch, and they’re sprinting. Nerdy Note: Trichomes can be bulbous, capitate-sessile, or capitate-stalked — and in this run, the capitate-stalked ones are standing tall and loaded. Expect a full cannabinoid and terpene profile when it’s time for analysis.( bro talk not lab hihihihi) 🌟 Let’s take a moment to recognize that we’re witnessing the peak of this cycle. This is living art, frozen in time by a camera lens but alive in scent and energy. This Week’s Feeding Program To support this explosive trichome production in Week 8 Flower, we’re feeding with precision and purpose. Every drop counts now, and here’s the clean, efficient mix we’re running: • Aptus Holland – Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • Aptus Holland – System Clean: 0.25 ml/L • Aptus Holland – RO Water Condition: 0.8 ml/L • Aptus Holland – All-In-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L • Plagron – Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • pH set at 6.2 💧 We’re keeping it clean, clear, and consistent. No extra PK boosters or unnecessary additives. Just smart nutrition, tuned spectrum, and stable conditions to let the plants express themselves naturally. The synergy between Aptus Holland’s Clean Program and Plagron’s Green Sensation is clearly showing in every frosty bud. This week, we’ve fine-tuned the spectrum to push the plants into full resin-production mode. I’ve reduced the white light intensity to 40% while keeping the reds and UVs running at 100%. This shift focuses energy on the wavelengths that directly stimulate secondary metabolite production—especially trichomes. Red light enhances flower development and density, while UV exposure encourages plants to produce protective compounds, like cannabinoids and terpenes, as a natural defense. This balance between lower photosynthetic pressure and high-spectrum stimulation is helping the girls finish strong, frosty, and full of character. 🙏 Massive thanks to all sponsors, followers, friends, and growers in the community. To the ones competing, to the ones just watching — THANK YOU. This is almost the end of the road, and every diary, every plant, every effort deserves respect. 💬 Don’t forget to follow the full 4K experience on YouTube, and for behind-the-scenes action and updates, join us on Instagram.

This lady had some beautiful colors throughout the grow, she wasnt quite as sticky as I expected giving the name but all around great smoke! Will be growing this again with a different feeding schedule to see if I can get a little more out of her but still happy with the results! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!

7/27/25- Week 7. I see flowers starting on the plants but they are probably just pre flowers but actual flowering is close now. I just fertilized them again with the above nutrients in a 5 gallon bucket. We went from a heat wave and drought to plenty of rain at the end of July so they are approaching 6 feet tall now and just big bushes.

Scope arrives tomorrow so I can finally see what’s going on!!

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Semana de bastante crecimiento. No se ha estirado mucho, pero han salido muchos brotes nuevos y hojas bastante grandes. Todo va viento en popa y a toda vela. No he detectado ningún síntoma de estrés. Cada dos días las giro 180º y subo 2 cm. el foco. También le aplico riego foliar cada tres días y le sienta muy bien, es una cepa que admite bastante bien los excesos. Han comenzado ha aparecer los primeros pistilos. Preparándola ya para la floración para la semana que viene. No se lo pierdan.😉

We are all finished! 79 days from seed, 11 weeks !

La pandemia kush es la más avanzada y se le empezará a regar solo con agua al igual q la Trimosa x mimosa_1 La Trimosa x mimosa tiene un problema con absorción de agua, pero ya está siendo solucionado

She starting to stink! That good GG4 stank, white pistils popping up at a rapid rate now. Let's go. 5 gal pots might switch to 3? Yesssssirrr. A tiny bit of yellowing, cal mag? High 🛸 pew pew pew

Bajé la dosis de agua de llave a purificada en 1/3 del total. Dejé de utilizar top roots y están prontas a floración. Las ultimas tres fotos corresponden a una defoliación.

🗓️ Week 9 – Flower Week 5 (MAC n Cheese only) This week’s focus was all about managing drain EC levels, and MAC n Cheese is still pushing out some salts – nothing critical, but worth keeping an eye on. 💧 Last watering: • Input EC: ~1.3–1.4 • Drain EC: 1.79 → 1.69 ⚠️ Status: Runoff EC is slowly dropping but still on the higher side. Some light salt buildup is visible, especially on the leaf edges – nothing major yet. 🔧 Adjustment plan: • Keep input EC steady at 1.2–1.3 • Use supplements conservatively – around 20–30 % of the schedule • Target runoff EC: gradually bring it down to ~1.5–1.6 Overall, she's handling it well – strong growth and steady development. Frost levels continue to rise – things are really starting to sparkle. ❄️🌸

Everything is fine, dear. We plan to become beautiful flowers. Need to wait another month.

Day 42 Shes really starting to pack on the some size, shes going to be a great yielder i think. Have a new dehumidifer arriving next week which is needed right now.

Hi All, I think I must have missed a week, don't know how I did that but I switched on the 16th OCT and this should have been the fifth week of flowering. Anyways I will change that over the weekend. Weekly update: *What's happening in the garden. So starting the fifth week of flowering and the buds are starting to bulk up. I still think the canopy is too dense but I am going to pretty much leave it and see how it plays out. Maybe I will thin out one large colla and see if that's going to grow a lot better but I don't know how meaningful this will be going forward. *On-going problems 1. Top canopy leaves still showing red stems. (I am almost to a point where I think this might be genetics) 2. Sweating problem - I've tried to lower temps, thin out canopy and dimming light. So I've done all that with limited success UNTIL I moved two dehumidifier into the room and lowered the RH in tent from low 70's to low 60's and I directed the top fan directly at the canopy rather than blowing slightly above the canopy. That seemed to help the plant sweat without leaves pointing up and tacoing. 3. Brown goo in reservoir - I am seeing some brown goo started to grow again but less than before. So I am going to increase the cannazym, hydro guard and PH at 5.5. *Neat trick to slightly increase your grow tent area. Since this is a monster mother plant in a 2x4 tent. I've been having trouble keeping her in check especially on the perimeter of the canopy so I actually added a input fan to decrease humidity and increase air flow and also created a positive atmosphere in the tent so the tent basically increased 10- to 15% in volume especially in the middle of the tent where my canopy is at so this gives her more room to bulk up the buds.

Day 69 flowering: The Peyote Critical is dry and ready to trim for her harvest Tonight. She smells very fruit punchy and a sample bud nearly gave me a " whitey" as i overdid it with the dosage. lol. I have taken the Hulkberry out too for drying ( has her own diary) and also the RQS Critical( 60g dried bud). This made space to move the other ladies around and under the full working light. I took the Liberty haze out today at 69 Days from flower start ( not flip!). She was definitely ready to come out and her colours up close are so beautiful She is huge and has at least 30 decent bud sites. I struggled to get photos of her in such a small space so had to hang her just to get her all in a shot. Her colas are big too , hopefully she will topple my biggest yielded plant at over 10oz. The utopia has all been moved under the stronger bulb now so hopefully will finish this week better. They are very oily and smell of diesel oil and fruit. Not sure they will yield too much thanks to duff bulb but they look amazing and i cannot wait to try a bud of it. The Laughing buddha's are finishing up nicely now. Sadly the stunted one wont yield much at all but smells so pineapple. Her bug sis in growcaps soil is a monster like the liberty Haze so with only 1 week odd left. she is right under the 600w duff bulb close. Fingers crossed all will be done by next week and harvest reports can begin.

My long vegging. Pheno of Fat Banana Auto is finally ready for harvest. Top Buds got nice purple leaf tips. Smell and bud structure is 10/10. I did wet trimming because of high humidity levels.

Anscheinend werden die Blüten sehr kompakt wachsen, das könnte noch zu Problemen führen...
