I had to add some support. Especially plant 2, the mainlined plant, is getting some crazy large buds and needs help keeping them up. It seems the mainlined plant is handling the heat better. But she is also getting less direct sunlight which seems to be good for her.

Day 49-56 (Day 1F-5F) (Day 50) Plants are all showing some odd deficiencies and lord only knows what I’m doing wrong this time. I’m guessing I overwatered as I’m seeing a N/mg deficiency. Slurricane is showing some super odd browning and crisping on the lower fan leaves. I have to flip into flower tomorrow (April 21st) as my other tent is at maximum capacity now. Plants look like shit but I have no other choice. Normally I would never do that so close to being flipped. Hopefully this will at least be worth the electricity used. (Day 1F) Switched out timers and flipped. I forgot to put my temperature controllers on the outside of the tent. I will do that ASAP as I don’t want to risk light leaks. (Day 2F) Everything is looking a little better. Ive been noticing that while my A/C is running, I don’t have full power to my light because the ballast is automatically dimming the light. I didn’t run the A/C today and the plants seem to have responded well but correlation doesn’t equal causation. (Day 3F) I decided to toss all the locos except one. I also tossed bg#1 as it shit the bed out of nowhere. Hopefully that will clear up some room in the tent for these others to start thriving. (Day 5F) Plants all responded well to the extra light. Maybe that was a big part of the problem in the first place. I had 17 plants under a 400w. I’m still only running 400w because 600w gets way too hot unless I have my carbon filter running 24/7 which I’m actually starting to consider.

Water rainwater + epsom salt and diluted nutrients with more total water of 180 ppm ph 6.2 temperature of the 20 ° solution, gradually using more water due to the 10% runoff temperature, slightly relieving the roots without much removal, sprayed with water without ppm complement due to perspiration and water loss when it's hot, more soil around the stem "I made some abrasions around the stem that is now covered with soil in order to create more quick roots, added more mycorrhizae around to heal and root and stretch with mycorrhizae. Always covered with coconut fiber so it doesn't dry quickly without absorbing enough, I really need one more exhaust fan to pull in fresh cold / fresh air from the outside in, and limit one little use of fans since air conditioning is not part of my plans at the moment.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 3 VEG Report (12/12 from seed | Autoflower behaving in sync with photoperiods) General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth comes to a close with GMO Cookies performing exceptionally well. Just like the other autoflowers in the room, she continues to behave in a way that closely mirrors the photoperiod plants — steady, structured, and rhythmically aligned with the rest of the genetics in the tent. Despite the diversity of cultivars running side by side, all plants are maintaining very similar height, pace, and development, each expressing itself slightly differently but moving forward together. This consistency speaks volumes about both the genetics and the stability of the environment. Growth & Structure • Vegetative stage: Ongoing • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: 6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, controlled, well-balanced • Leaf expression: • Lush, deep green • Broad, healthy leaflets • Excellent turgor and texture Growth this week can only be described as spectacular. Internodal spacing remains tight, structure is clean, and the plant shows no signs of stress, deficiency, or imbalance. Autoflower vs Photoperiod Behavior Even though GMO Cookies is an autoflower and has been run 12/12 from seed, she continues to challenge expectations. At this point, it’s still difficult to clearly distinguish behavioral differences between autos and photoperiods in this room. Everything is moving: • At the same rhythm • At the same pace • Under the same conditions This reinforces an important observation: environmental consistency often outweighs genetic labels, especially early on. ⸻ 📸 Photo Session & Documentation This week, GMO Cookies was briefly removed for a dedicated photo session using an improvised studio setup. Photography setup highlights: • Sony A6700 camera • iPad used as a remote control and live viewer • Controlled backlighting for leaf detail and depth • Full camera control (aperture, ISO, settings) without touching the camera This approach eliminates camera shake and allows for precise adjustments on the fly — crucial for capturing clean, sharp images, especially when documenting fine leaf texture and color. Since these images are being shared publicly, it felt important to be transparent about the process behind them. ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Everything remains stable and dialed in, allowing the plants to focus fully on root and vegetative development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow into the light naturally, with no stretch or light stress observed. • Incremental increases are proving effective and well-tolerated. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Applied selectively and intentionally, not on a rigid schedule This combination continues to support strong root activity, clean metabolism, and vibrant vegetative growth. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Week 4) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Further node stacking • Increasing leaf mass and photosynthetic capacity What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No sudden stretch • No need to push inputs or change rhythm Patience remains key. The plant is clearly still building its foundation. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 3 confirms that GMO Cookies is happy, stable, and well-adapted to this setup. There is no rush, no force, and no correction needed — just observation and consistency. Same rhythm. Same environment. Same respect for the process.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

This week has produced some decent growth, and I plan to begin some light LST on Blackberry Moonrocks here soon. The plant has taken very well to being topped, especially considering the short bushy structure of the plant. Here is what I did this week. 16.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 containing; 💜 2ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 340 19.7.25: I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 containing: 💜 1ml Ecothrive Trace PH: 6.5 PPM: 350 Thanks for checking in this week, and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱 💜

5/8/25 Chopped at day 65 of flowering. Will update more soon. Not sure if the plagron product did much of anything. Thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for sponsoring this Grow. 5/9/25 first day/night of drying and temps are at 67.8 and humidity is at 61% 5/12/25 i had left for vacation for the weekend but when i came back the whole house smelled like a dispensary lol and the humidity was down to 55% sadly but i have it back up to 60% and 67°F. tonight will be day 4 of drying and i suspect theyll be done in the next couple days around day 6 or 7 Eternity Grow Cup 2025 🤙💣🤘 5/19/25 Post harvest results. I got 120 grams total which evens out to about an ounce a plant. but some plants produced more than others. I sadly lost a whole plant besides the very top cola to a spider mite infestation literally at the harvest week. There were two plants that stood out the most. One of the plants was a beautiful display of the genetics. It has a very old school GSC style buds and structure and color. Looking in the book "higher" by erik nug shots and it was fairly identical. That one stood out and was a beautiful display of the genetics. Not a big yielder but the quality is top notch. The plant i lost has the chonkiest buds and was a very weird plant. It was R3 and had weird variegated leaves and had an odd yellow color when younger that wasnt anything but natural. it wasnt because of lack of nitrogen. It was just yellow and weird. 2 of the plants were foxtailed and very sativa style buds. they have a mice minty fruity smell to them but just ugly buds covered in thick trichomes. There was another that had more dense buds but still similar to the sativa style plants but not foxtailing. The only plant to stand out and seem decent was the GSC, gelato plant with the purple fade and beautiful bud structure. Thank you again to Zamnesia and Plagron for the opportunity. ETERNITY GROW CUP 2025🤙💜🤙

Another smooth week as the girls continue to do their thing, buds keep stacking up & putting on size. NL & DD-OG have some super solid, dense, sticky & Big buds. GG has done really well this grow, really bushy produced heaps of branches. Only problem with this strain is the thin weak branches can't support much weight & as buds get bigger the branch just falls over, I super cropped a few branches as they were over 3 + foot high & were hitting the light, this helped to strengthen the branch others bent over & grew horizontal, like they were in a scrog, which it would be perfect for. GG is getting some nice nugs, different to the NL & DD-OG not as dense , grow a little different but some nice super sticky buds😀👍

We are pleased to report another great week has been had by all and there are not any issues to mention. The top dress along with Bokashi was applied and they enjoyed a rain barrel treat mixed with Hygrozyme along with Hyshield once this week. A good spray of NForce helped with the aphids along with the stink bugs that were threatening to take over the gardens and Optic foliar spray was applied once a few days later, so far we are happily growing! We have been watering daily to keep things moist, on the hotter days it has both morning and night. This beauty had a good clean up two days ago, a storm feels like it’s brewing now and she seems to be enjoying the wind!

Microscope shows the telltale amber in some of the trichomes :). Did a full system clean with H2O2, long rinse, and the new solution is just pH balanced water and FloraKleen. Some crispy leaves at the moment but I'm not worried. Harvest is coming soon! Next post will be a harvest post and early smoke report 🙃

Still trying to get them back to where they were 2 weeks ago. Did a flush to raise ph as it was sitting really, only feeding water at the moment. One girl is definitely not doing well. But the others seem to be trying to turn around.

Last couple of weeks she's been affected by high tent temps, hence all her curled leaves 😓 She is also a big plant in her little 10L fabric pot. I've noticed fabric pots really do dry out faster than airpots. That is a good thing, but you have to watch her drying out too quickly also! I think she'd make a monster plant in a 20L or 40L airpot.😍

Plants looking healthy and they are starting to form strong buds by the looks of it . Some of them have startet to have brown leaves, but the bud looks healthy. Ive put the lights from 600w to 400w since they are suffering from high light and temp. Now the temp should be 24°to 26°.

Overall I enjoyed this grow and learned a lot about living soil. Going for a slow dry, trim, then at least a one month cure. Hopefully another six days and I’ll update with a dry yield. My next batch is already cooking but with 5 gallon pots. 03/25 - Day 7 Drying B & C are done drying and have been in jars for a day now with RH ~60%. Total 3oz from B & C. Total 1.5oz from A & D
