First week of flower👏 They got 2 hours extra darkness before flip. Not because of scientific evidence, but simply practical. Still looking back to the first weeks of veg. WHAT A MESS and WHAT A MIRACLE 🙏 Coming into flower, they had two defoliation and the latest one was 7/10. Last feed 8/10 Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l) Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow) 👽👉10/10 VPD is 1.2,-1.3. good airflow above and below canopy. 👽👉11/10 Mild signs of light stress. They will get used to the VPD. Can't wait to feed in a couple of days and see the reaction. Im sure they are really hungry! 👽👉12/10 Waterday** Introducing higher doses of bloom nutes. The Run off PH and EC are all within the limits 👽👉13/10 They lit up after some nutes. They look happy! Let the stretch begin 👽👉14/10 Already see fast growth. Just monitering factors, to make sure the climate is optimal and their are no symptoms. 👽👉15/10 Waterday* Thirsty ladies 👽👉16/10 Last day of week 1 of flower. Everything is going fine, Good airflow, None of the small symptoms has gotten worse, so overall happy ladies! How ever one has a little stunned growth or maybe just a bit behind of going into stretch

Very easy strain to grow. I grew the White Critical Express previous to this grow, I really liked it and wanted to try growing an Autoflower so I went for the Critical 2.0 and it was worth the grow.

They completed lfirst week of Flower. Decreasing Humidity gradually to increase VPD to 1.5. Heady OG turned out to be a male one so removed it :( But, the ladies seem to enjoy life and they keep stretching every day. They have doubled in size just in one week Humidity is fluctuating between 52-58%. Temp is 22-26 Celsius. VPD is relatively constant around 1.30 except for very rainy days where my dehumidifier gets info play. PPFD is around 900 uMol.

Week 8 has gone well and she is chugging along. She is still putting out new pistils with some turning orange. Calyx's are growing longer and buds are still soft. I'm thinking a min of 10 weeks flowering for her. I removed some leaves on inner canopy to bring some air and light deeper. She is so bushy its hard to even defoliate maybe next time i will remove some more lateral branches... afterremoving the leaves I must have come incontact with a pollen sack as where I defoliated all seemed to be polinated over night and are making seeds :( I will cut my losses and harvest while seeds are still small.

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

UPDATE - sat 6th March Doing good for first week. The change of light made all the difference. One is a hempy that I am going to add some worm castings and I’m already adding loads of microbes so it should buffer the ph for me. UPDATE - Monday I ordered some worm castings so I can mix it with my coco and perlite, as well as a few other goodies so I can treat a hempy more like a soil grow but get the benefits of the passive hydro system. I’ll probably use around 10%. I’m still waiting for my fan and my microbial product that is made by the same people as charge. It looks great. Loads of ph buffering microbes to munch on the vermicompost and enable me to get away without spending 60-70 on a ph meter.

So this was one of the easiest autos I have grown she’s short and fat has an amazing smell and coverd in trichomes I can’t wait to try it!!!

5/13/22 - 5/20/22 5/14/22 Today my Poison Zkittlez got her Zamaldaberry room mate to move out so that she would have more space. She is trying to fill this 4x4. I did some defoliation and leaf tucking today to help open up those inner branches. 5/16/22 Today my girl got some defoliation and her resivore topped off at 3 gallons needed after 3 days. She is doing great and her flowers are getting beautiful 😍 5/20/22 Today marks the last day of week 3 of flower for my Poison Zkittlez. Topped off her resivore 3 gal. Did some minor defoliation of some inner leaves.

Runtz is almost done ✔️ I will cut her between Sunday and Monday Balance going good let’s see the final result… Colas are pretty nice !

This grow has just remained on autopilot, I am very pleased. I have cut back water a bit they were looking a little unhappy going to give them a dry back and not feed a whole day.

Day 28 from Light Flip Pruned lower and weak branches along with some lower tiny bud sites Final Top Dressed Tbsp not Tsp Feeding liquid nutes twice a week Saw a single nat and put up the sticky traps gonna keep them up for a little while in case

She really growing excellent.. Buds forming nicely slight smell . pretty soon some frost should show up 😃..thanks todd for giving a seed so i can try the genetics👍🏆.. Thank you to all my GrowMies where would be without each other.. Thank you

After 1 week of flush the plant start to fade gently, i hope that gonna be good before harvest. I think my additives tend to keep my plant green, both contain seaweed extract and are slow release. There is a little bit of nice fox tailing.

This was an easy grow, and had some amazing results. This is some of my best homegrown to date ❤️ the ladies were easy to manage, no PM, pests or disease. The root balls were enormous, wasn’t much soil to recover. They got heavy in the end from the weight but managed to stay upright for the most part. They were big stretchers , prepare for that, scrog was a good way to go but some of the eager beavers got away from me, which ended in some massive colas. Overall easy to grow, no surprises and you won’t regret the results! 10/10 ❤️👊🤤

Well its another update from down under.. and things are getting better with the Caramelo. She got badly burnt from my mistake of using too strong lime sulfur spray to treat spider mites and mold issues before they could take hold. And its kinda worked. lols...the mites are still there but reduced alot in number but I was almost ready to chop her after I saw how badly burnt all her new shoots were. But Im glad I decided to wait a bit as she has recovered faster than expected and while im sure she still has issue at the root level from the rain drenching her for near on a week- she basically stunted after that and never showed much stretch at all when switching to flower-she grew maybe 15cms in height total after that so Im assuming some kind of root rot has her and any harvest will be a bonus. In saying that Im still not going to be suprised if she suddenly dies or gets badly infected with bud rot out of the blue as Im nursing her hard just to get her to this stage and in my experience a nursed plant may produce a yield but it will be weaker than its meant to be and reduced by around 50% of the yield you should have got. if she was indoor id have ripped her out after the sighs she was stunted presented and started over with a new plant. But out doors I dont have that luxury so I will nurse her thru and hope for the best but expect less than average results. Zkittles though is loving life and just LOOK at her!! When you realize she was the same size as the Caramelo when the rain hit and now look at the difference- thats why i say when you see obvious signs of stunting-rip the plant if you can and start over, it may recover but if it was serious then the plant will never show its true potential and you may think those genetics are shit. Ive never grown the Caramelo before now so if i judge it on this result I will say the genetics are shit when the plant likely had root rot from 3 weeks before even switching to flower. And the BC buds hash plant is FINALLY flowering too now. For a 90% indica it sure is taking the longest to flower. I wonder if its the old school genetics at play here-This strain been around since the 70's while the ZkittleZ is a modern hybrid so maybe the newer genetics really are all they are cracked up to be. Thats why I love doing side by side grows out doors with diff genetics and see what they can really do. You should see my mates BC hashys- lmao, he said he wanted bigger plants than last year as he got "bonsai" plants from someone else. Now he has to tie down trees that are growing over his 6ft fence!! And they only just went into flower last week. But on that note- Will update more now as things progress towards harvest. Cheers for stopping by and if your still reading this-nice work, most pple cant read shit these days so double points for making it this far.

ALOT HAPPENED THAT WAS NOT PHOTOGRAPHED. I was in a wreck in November that totaled my vehicle and injured me. In January I took on a new business endeavor whilst working full time 60+. Between the two I let the plant die from dehydration. I walked in one day she was browned all over. Not a green leaf in sight. Wilted beyond belief. She looked to the untrained disbelieving eye dead. I cut the lights down to 20% & kept a vigilant eye in her watering her as she needed. It took 3 weeks of this before a single sprig of green shot forth from this battered plant. Only half of the entire plant came back to life the other half eventually got trimmed back to encourage new lateral shoots . . That was the idea. . Although nothing EVER grew on one entire half of the plant. So I regrew out the plant by babying . This is indeed the exact same plant however everything you see is brand new. The plant has been being trained to grow over in the directions of the areas that Cellie’s cellular vascular system was permanently damaged as a result of my non existent watering schedule. Shes looking full these days but I can’t help but bite my finger at the lovely and healthy growth pattern I squandered and took for granted. I firmly believe if I didn’t have to spend the better part of 2 months on what I called “Recovery” after losing AN ENTIRE HALF OF MY PLANT to bring this plant back to 1. Life & 2. Vigor that she’d have filled out the 5x5 . I’m going to do a heavy defoliation to expose growth sites. I of course wanna fill out as much of this tent as possible as soon as possible to see if we can push the quantity boundaries of harvest. Sorry for the inconsistency I’m going to do my best to see this through

switched my light cycle and excited to see things take off Hoping to keep things under control Only budding 3 of the plants while the other one is still Vegging in another tent. Probably toss it in next week I tie them down constantly LSD is beautiful Green Gelato has grown wild Royal Gorilla is very bushy Hulk Berry has long strong Branches with minimal side branching...That is why I am vegging it longer March 9th Everything is going awesome at the end of week 1 of flowering -All plants are in 4x4 tent -If anyone has any questions let me know
