Week4 D1 So starting this week plants still look strong but rainbow belts is drooping like she is thirsty but her pot is heavy so I am monitoring to see if she is just being dramatic or if she is getting a slight salt build up. Will water in 2 days and check the ph of run off. I am thinking it is slightly acidic. I also see slight tip burn on a couple leaves but they were just fed and it wasn't hot so I am leaning towards the acidic water. Week4 D4 All girls got 1.5G of dechlorinated tap water at 6.7 ph and thats it. Got nats so I've been using yellow sticky tape. They are stacking heavy so end of week 5 I plan on feeding them a final dose. You can see the light tilted to accommodate the different heights. Week4 D3 I said I would water today but I am going to let them go one more day before making a decision. Rainbow Belts roots may need to breathe a bit so before I make a rash decision I will monitor. Otherwise plants are stacking well and are getting hairy and frosty. Sugar leaves are getting more abundant. Week4 D4 Each girl got 1.5G 6.7 ph water dechlorinated and rotated and thats it. They all are growing well hoping we are on track for another feeding at the end of week5. Next watering will be compost tea to revitalize microbes. Week4 D5 The next day after the 6.7ph feeding they responded well so I think my guess of low soil ph for rainbow belts was correct as well as her drying out sooner. In 5 days or so I will water with compost tea. Everything is looking strong- smell is low but my average temp is about 73degrees. I am keeping vpd between 1.3-1.4 and will hold for a few weeks before bumping up to 1.5. Debating if I want to use UV B light- anyone with any experience let me know. Later growers!

Automatic Royal Amnesia is growing at a rate that we really like a lot and with a very stable and orderly regularity. We made the topping leaving 2 floors of branches underneath that one as our usual style. She looks really strong, healthy and very beautiful.

Day 35 - Light defoliation for this girl! I'm thinking i'll put a bucket under her pot, to get the canopy closer to the light! She's trained out nice and flat, and won't be getting much taller... I think she will benefit from being closer to the 1000PAR mark at this stage of flower!

Die Blüten schwellen weiter an und so langsam kommt auch etwas Farbe ins Spiel. In dieser Woche hat sich einiges getan. Leider wird das Wetter "relativ" nass/kalt. Es bleibt spannend...

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and she’s looking good. She’s starting to stretch more every day and flowers are starting to fatten up a bit. Gonna continue with the foxfarm feeding schedule. Can’t wait for her to finish! Day 44 - The room is really starting to smell amazing. Just keeping on with the foxfarm nute schedule until she’s ready to be cut in a couple more weeks. Still plenty of fattening and growing to go. Day 45 - No major changes, she’s just chugging along. Gave a feeding of just water today and tomorrow will be the foxfarm feeding. I love her look and the smell starting to really come from her. Day 46 - No major changes, just continuing to fatten, grow and definitely getting really frosty! Day 47 - What can I say? This thing is an amazing grow and smelling amazing. She just growing and fattening each day. Still to early to really look at the trichs but wanted to look anyway. Got a few decent pics and there’s a few cloudy ones in there. Gave her straight pH’d water today and tomorrow and will give another feeding on Saturday. Day 48 - No big changes, just continuing to fatten up. Held off on watering today, she didn’t really drink munch compared to the GC. Will give her an actual “feeding” tomorrow. Day 49 - All is looking good and she’s plumping up each day. Gave her the foxfarm feeding today. Tomorrow starts week 8 so will continue with the feeding schedule until the end. She’s really starting to smell up the room in my house and loving it.

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

The smell is crazy when the tent is opened and only growing stronger every day. I've definitely learned I caused them to grow so tall. The tallest one is 3ft and that's because I kept the light too far from them. Gonna keep note of that for Season#2 because they are so tall now. The buds seem to be getting thicker and I'm happy for that, I realized I'm impatient and also tainted by the internet with my expectations of them. I'm seeing frost a lot more now, which is cool. Plus, some of them are starting to see different traits and that's exciting because they kind of all look exactly the same and they aren't.

Week 1 Day 1 - Clones #1 and #2 are looking alright, not super strong and slight nutrient deficiency issues, but OK. Will just observe for now. - These clones are currently under a very mild CFL light (20 cm away and about 200 ppfd measured roughly by phone app - Tent Buddy.) - Clone #3 still need to be covered to maintain moisture. Yesterday I un-cupped the clone and it wilted a lot. This morning it looks better again after a night of rest under the plastic cup. - I've checked the run off and these clone's pH are so low, while TDS are so high (pH 5.7 and TDS 800pm). This evening, I flushed them with pH 6.5 water and brought the runoff to about pH 6.0 and 350 ppm) Week 1 Day 2 - Just foliage spray with mild CalMag this morning. Soil is still moist, so no watering. Week 1 Day 3 - Just minor watering today. Glad to see the clones are doing well as they are growing a bit everyday. Will transfer them to 3 gallon airpots with new soil mix soon. Week 1 Day 4 - Foliage spray with mild CalMag and Seaweed. Add 5ml of 250 ppm of balanced NPK nutrients AN B52 for each plant. Week 1 Day 5 - Foliage spray with mild CalMag and Seaweed. Transfer them to 3 gallon airpots. Week 1 Day 6 - Foliage spray with mild CalMag and Seaweed. Skip watering. The clones responded OK to the new airpots. Week 1 Day 7 - TBA

Very sticky the gorilla glue it ended up with oil leaking from the buds i believe that was due to genetics and a new terpene booster im using which helps with the plant producing more oils and terpenes, rosin all though it took almost ten weeks for this plant to flower it turned out great i will be growing this again as i have seeds on the way already

Dutch Passion Shaman Eine aufregende und intensive Woche liegt hinter uns! Lange lasse ich die beiden nicht mehr stehen, Nebeltau und sehr hohe Luftfeuchte haben beiden Pflanzen etwas zugesetzt. Das tägliche Absuchen ist nun unerlässlich, ich finde regelmäßig neue Stellen an Blütenstielen, die sich im späteren Verlauf zu Fäulnis entwickeln würden. Die betroffenen Stellen befinden sich dort, wo ich während der Regenperiode entlaubt habe. So habe ich den Verdacht, dass ich die Blätter zu nahe am Stiel geschnitten habe. Denn dort, wo etwas mehr Blattstiel stehen blieb, sind die Stengel weiterhin gesund. Insgesamt empfinde ich die beiden als sehr robust und widerstandsfähig, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass dieser Sommer und Herbst immer wieder feucht bis nass war. Dennoch sollte man in dieser letzten Phase wachsam bleiben und die Pflanzen wirklich gründlich absuchen. So blieb der Verlust durch Blütenfäule sehr gering. Mit Hilfe einer Taschenlampe zum Ausleuchten von schattigen Bereichen, etwas Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe zu den schönen Pflanzen, werde ich ein sehr zufrieden stellendes Ergebnis in der Trockenkammer aufhängen können. Der Duft der beiden Shamaninnen hat sich intensiviert. Sie sind noch einmal deutlich frostiger geworden und schön ölig-harzig. Nachdem ich bereits Probeblüten getrocknet und vaporisiert habe, sowie mehrmals einen starken Cannabistee aus den Blüten gebrüht und getrunken habe, bin ich mir sicher, dass ich nun jederzeit beruhigt ernten und eine ausgewogene Wirkung erwarten kann. Es ist ein klares aktivierende Sativa High, dass mich fröhlich und kommunikativ stimmt aber nie laut wird, selbst bei sehr hoher Dosierung im Tee. Die Wirkung setzt jeweils langsam ein. Auf ein fröhliches Gähnen

28.10. Progress Overview • Eight days in, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 plants are showing steady recovery after the early topping on Day 4. • Growth momentum has returned — new shoots are visible at the main nodes, and side branching is beginning to expand. • The overall impression: slightly slowed by topping stress, but still on track for a healthy vegetative rhythm. ⸻ Post-Topping Recovery • The plants clearly felt the cut — minor stress signs visible (slight leaf curl and slower new growth). • However, the color remains strong, and all tops are pushing new growth tips already. • This brief recovery dip is expected after early topping and should stabilize completely within the next few days. • Once the new shoots strengthen, canopy management and gentle LST can begin. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips issue hasn’t disappeared entirely — still visible, but very minimal. • Continuous counter-measures are in place to keep the population suppressed. • So far, the balance seems under control, though full eradication will take consistent attention. • No major new damage spots seen — a positive sign that the preventive strategy is working. ⸻ BioTabs Performance • The BioTabs organic system continues to hold its promise: stable nutrition, no burn, no deficiency. • Even under light stress, the plants show resilience — a good indicator of strong microbial activity and root health. • The living-soil dynamic keeps everything buffered and calm, helping recovery without any liquid feed adjustments. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Next focus: allow the plants to fully bounce back before applying any further training. • Maintain airflow and humidity control to discourage pest rebound. • If the recovery trend continues, Week 2 should close with a well-structured, evenly topped canopy ready for shaping. ⸻ 🌱 Day 8 Summary: Mild topping stress visible, but recovery underway. Thrips presence minimal and managed. The BioTabs system keeps everything stable — resilience and structure are returning fast, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 still shows solid potential moving into full Week 2. ———————————- ——————————— 01.11. Progress Overview • The vegetative phase officially comes to an end — today marks the transition into flowering. • The light cycle was switched from 18/6 to 12/12, meaning tomorrow begins Flower Day 1. • Overall, the run looks solid: strong structure, healthy color, and good vitality, with only minor pH adjustments needed. ⸻ Soil & pH Situation • Current soil pH measured at 5.7, slightly below the ideal range. • Early signs of a calcium lockout were noticed, but detected in time before major impact. • Corrective measures are underway to bring the medium back up to 6.3, the target zone for optimal nutrient uptake. • Adjustments are being made gradually to avoid disturbing the microbial activity sustained by the BioTabs system. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips and general pest presence are now almost completely gone. • Continuous preventive work has paid off — the situation is under firm control. • No new damage visible; foliage remains clean and healthy. • This is the most stable pest status since the start of the run — a clear sign that the reset and preventive routine were effective. ⸻ Plant Condition • Plants remain strong and compact after early topping; internodes uniform and canopy even. • Minor signs of stress linked to the low pH, but overall vigor remains high. • Once the pH correction stabilizes, calcium uptake should normalize and growth will accelerate again. ⸻ BioTabs System Performance • The BioTabs organic feeding system continues to demonstrate resilience and balance. • Even under suboptimal pH, the living-soil biology buffered the stress effectively — no burn, no deficiency spiral. • Root zone remains active, and microbial life appears to be compensating for the short-term nutrient block. ⸻ Outlook • Focus for the next few days: confirm that pH correction holds steady and monitor for the start of the stretch phase. • Expecting visible early flowering development within 3–5 days after the 12/12 switch. • The goal is now to maintain environmental stability and airflow as the plants begin vertical growth. • With pests under control and the soil balance returning, the bloom phase starts under good conditions. ⸻ 🌸 Day 12 Summary: Slight pH imbalance (5.7) addressed and under correction, calcium uptake soon to normalize. Thrips nearly eradicated — pest management finally stable. The 12/12 light cycle has begun, marking Flower Day 1 tomorrow. A clean, controlled start into bloom for SuperBuffCherry #26.

week 3 is a tough rn not gonna lie shes yellowing extremely fast and shes begging me for potassium. i was just giving her 2 tsps to 3 gallons of water. as of today (jan 8 2022) i gave her a feed of 1 and 1/4 bloom and 1/4 veg nutes to try to fight the yellowing. i honestly dont know if that was the right thing to do most threads i read just said to add some nitrogen but idk if dyna gros bloom and grow are meant to be mixed. especially this late in flower. either way its too late i already gave it to her i guess now all i can do is wait and see what happens. you can see how fast the yellowing is happening too.
