Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Wow this week has been a super bulking week. Buds are huge and dense when you squeeze between thumb and forefinger there’s no give at all. Very sticky lives up to the GG name. Smell is very strong earthy and almost a diesel undertone.

It’s been a good week. The buds are starting to form. I will be adding an additional light soon to provide more of a red spectrum of light to the tent. I’ve been watering one day neutrients, one day pH water and one day nothing. The plants appear very happy and I’m looking forward to the upcoming weeks!

Dream Queen #1 tallest @ 5.5". Been a struggle this week trying to dial in humidity. Had ranges between 20-80%. Hope to get a humidity controller this week. Watering with leftover fish fertilizer from last feeding. Added 8 oz of worm juice from my worm farm totes. 20% runoff with 6.2 ph and 2900ppm. Crazy high I think. Watching to see how the react before I make any adjustments. 1/13 everything going as planned 2 dream queen and 2 g.s.c transplanted to 1 gallon pots

Day 46 flower GDP is starting to show them purple genes and lookin great, The buds them selves look great but man she is a leafy girl. I either did defoliate enough or theses colas are just leafy af Sour diesel, shes still frosty as ever and has the most amazing smell I have ever smelled from a plant in my life, just straight orange peel with a follow up gas. stubby little dense buds, this is gonna be really good smoke Northern Lights, I mean they speak for themselves, this plant has done great at stacking. ALotta big colas and are rock solid. This one smells like straight gasoline. I been checking their trichomes and alotta of them are about 80%clear. I wanna see 80% cloudy and 20% amber. I really need to get these girls down in the next 2 weeks.

A very quiet week just made sure the runoff watering was the same reading as from the tap she is watered from so all that is left to say is good look to everyone else in the Dutch passion competition so until next time ✌️ out my fellow Growmies 🙏👍

No issue looking good

The leaves... the leaves ... they just keep coming... yeah lots of leaves tough trim From Week 11 - pics found there *****RIPLEY HARVEST DAY !!!!! ***** Pics up top Wet weight - 1,140 grams 40.7 Ounces Just looking at it we be lucky to only lose 75% in dry but still not bad! Not a pleasant job trimming - LOTS of leaves UPDATE 261 grams dry, yeah took a beating on the dry but expected it. Tara 2083 grams wet Few pics of the roots while waiting for dry to finish, tomorrow maybe, like what I am seeing in these pots.

Wow Just Wow

Jour 48 dans le jardin secret de nos amies les plantes, et l'aventure se poursuit avec son lot de défis. Aujourd'hui, un petit contretemps : une de nos verdoyantes compagnes souffrait d'une carence en azote. Heureusement, avec une intervention rapide et l'apport d'une dose généreuse d'azote et d'autres nutriments essentiels, j'espère avoir rectifié le tir. C'est une période fascinante, car la plante a cessé de grandir verticalement pour concentrer toute son énergie sur le développement de ses fleurs. Je vais continuer à lui fournir méticuleusement les nutriments dont elle a besoin, en veillant à maintenir cet équilibre délicat : assez pour la soutenir, mais pas trop au point de causer des brûlures par excès de nutriments. D'après l'état actuel des choses, je table sur une période complète de 12 semaines. Remarque : feuilles jaunissantes a la 5/6e semaine dûe a une carence d'azote traiter par la moitié de la dose recommandée. Engrais : moitié de la dose recommandée en NPK pour corriger les carences, a vérifier si brûlures.

Day 5 of 12/12 23rd January

The Plant is getting very bushy and I am thinking of dedefoliating the plant but I am unsure because of it being an Autoflower in the early stages.

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad an feed/water. +++++++++++ I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprai gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic the use sprayers to create. It’s great. +++++++++++ I’m using some baking soda in water to combat some mild pmd, but it’s not bad. +++++++++++ These ICE BOMBS are troopers. They were definitely affected by the spider mites but hung in there three the various sprays which were hard on leaves even though I pulled them out and didn’t return them under the light until they dried. +++++++++++ Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower.

A little late for the weekly update as life got in the way but my girl purple Alaskan is doing awesome! Great root formation down into the reservoir now, I upped the EC to 1.4 and changed the reservoir water completely this week. I have been getting some pH drift but I think it's from the bucket I'm using so I have been adjusting to 5.8 as needed. I added the scrog net today as I know she's gonna be growing like crazy now!

Rock hard buds Miicrobialmass for the win and the new led is killer. The knobs like knots grow out of the sides of the buds are something to look at wow !!! Monkey berries is in flushing mode , slurricane won’t be far behind in the next week or 2 I’ll flush

LOLLIPOP!!!! TOP DRESS and get outside for the bloom phase!!!!

Day 1 drying

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 1 Flower Report Welcome to the first week of flower in the Eternity Grow Cup! This is a crucial stage in the cycle, and we’ve made some important moves to set the girls up for success. Let’s dive into all the details and talk about the key elements shaping this transition. 48 Hours Dark Period & Transition to Flower Before flipping to flower, we implemented a 48-hour dark period. In my experience, this technique helps the plants transition more smoothly and accelerates their hormonal shift into flowering. It’s a method that has consistently worked well for me, and I encourage growers to explore different approaches to find what best suits their setup. The Power of Reds - Far Red & Deep Red As part of this transition, we have introduced far red and deep red lighting. These are turned on 15 minutes before the main whites and stay on for 15 minutes after. The reason? This simulates the natural sunrise and sunset effect, which helps optimize the flowering response and enhances overall plant development. The red spectrum plays a crucial role in promoting stretch and enhancing bud formation early on. Light Schedule - 11/13 Cycle From the start of flower, we are running an 11 hours light / 13 hours dark schedule. Over the years, I’ve found this lighting strategy beneficial in inducing faster flower onset, increasing terpene production, and ultimately producing better-quality fruits. This is something I personally swear by, but as always, I encourage others to experiment and see what works best for their unique environments. Spending Time with the Girls One of my favorite parts of the grow is spending time with the plants, enjoying some good medicine, and simply being present in the garden. The connection we have with our plants is invaluable, and I believe they truly respond to the energy we bring. It’s a labor of love, and every moment spent with them contributes to their health and vitality. Monitoring with TrolMaster TM + App All data is being closely monitored using the TrolMaster TM + app, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out. Seeing all the details, tracking trends, and adjusting conditions accordingly is a game-changer. If you love data as much as I do, this is definitely something worth exploring. Gear Spotlight - AeroFan Extraction Let’s talk about one of the essential pieces of gear in this setup: the AeroFan Extraction System. This exhaust fan is an absolute beast, keeping the environment perfectly dialed in while looking sleek mounted on the wall. A good extraction system is key to maintaining ideal airflow, temperature, and humidity control, and this one has been doing an incredible job. Current Environmental & Nutrient Data Water pH: 6.0 Water EC: 1.36 Water Temperature: 16°C (a bit low, will be adjusting soon) Soil EC: 1.44 Soil Temperature: 20°C (decent but could be slightly higher) Maintaining the right balance of temperature, pH, and EC is essential for a successful flowering phase, so I’ll be keeping a close eye on these numbers and making any necessary adjustments as we progress.
