End of Week 8 (First week of flower) Increased the CO2 to 1200ppm and the ladies love it, already started stretching within the first 3 days of flower which shows that CO2 definitely boosts the grow cycle of cannabis. The main top-sites are popping up everywhere and everything looks evenly spread out. I defoliated again because the fan leaves are growing so fast and blocking bud sites. I also did one last lower canopy maintenance and removed small and stalky bud sites and stems below the trellis net to make sure I get maximum energy distribution to the main colas. I also added some GHF BioEnhancer to make sure the soil-microbes are happy and that the plants reach their maximum potential. Pest Report: EXTERMINATED! Thrips VS Ladybugs VS Neem Oil... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. Then to be extra sure I know that neem oil hinders the life cycle of pests like thrips causing them to stop colonising in my grow room. So I sprayed the ladies every day during the dark period to make sure there are no pests that I or the Ladybugs have missed. Mission accomplished. No more wilting and definitely no more thrips.

All strains have grown fast apart from one which was stuned but has bounced back and is responding well

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 9 Veg Update We are stepping into Week 9 of vegetation, and things are getting exciting! The plants are thriving—compact, bushy, and growing beautifully. This week, we introduced a SCROG (Screen of Green) net, an essential tool for maximizing yield and optimizing plant structure. Let’s dive deep into the why and how of scrogging: Why Install a SCROG Net Now? Maximizes Light Exposure: The net allows even light distribution across all branches, ensuring every bud site gets the optimal amount of light. Controls Plant Height: By guiding the branches through the net, we keep the canopy even and prevent excessive vertical growth. Enhances Airflow & Reduces Mold Risks: Spreading the plant out increases air circulation, reducing humidity pockets and minimizing risks of mold and pests. Increases Yield: More bud sites exposed to light mean higher-quality flowers and greater overall production. For now, we’re still not using the under-canopy lights, though they will come into play soon. The ICL 300 is positioned strategically, and we will likely move them around as needed later. For now, the focus is on structuring the plants and ensuring they fill out the available space properly. Optimizing Airflow - The Vortex Effect Air circulation is crucial for plant health, and this week, we’ve optimized airflow by positioning the fans to create a vortex effect: Fan Positioning: Each fan is placed at the tent corners, pointing in different directions, ensuring dynamic airflow instead of direct wind hitting the plants. Benefits of a Vortex System: Reduces hot spots and evenly distributes CO₂. Strengthens stems by creating a natural resistance. Prevents stagnant air, reducing mold and pest risks. The extraction system is powered by an AeroFan, connected to the AeroFan Smart Remote FRC1, currently running at 60% speed. This setup efficiently manages humidity and temperature while maintaining optimal air exchange. Current Environmental Conditions & Feeding For now, we’re maintaining the same water schedule and nutrient regimen. The environmental conditions remain stable: Temperature: Holding steady at ideal growth levels. Relative Humidity: Balanced to encourage healthy transpiration. PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density): Kept at optimal levels to support vigorous vegetative growth. CO₂ Levels: Elevated but within safe limits, promoting faster growth. The plants are filling the space beautifully, but we know that the flip to flower is approaching soon! The next phase will depend on how fast they continue to spread, and adjustments will be made accordingly. Closing Thoughts & What’s Next? This week was all about structural optimization—ensuring proper airflow, training the plants with the SCROG net, and keeping everything in balance before the transition to flower. The upcoming weeks will be crucial, as we fine-tune the environment, possibly introduce the under-canopy lighting, and prepare for the flowering stage.

After trimming everything under the net she has focused on sprouting more upwards towards the light, stems are nice and thick and budsites are nice and even so will grow evenly when budding!

Week 3 finds me a little confused, should I transplant BB2 into her final home today? What’s going on with BB1? Somethings up with her leaves. Is this the pre veg stage? Wait another week before moving them? Any help would be great. 👾 Addendum: what a crap ass week. Cal mag deficiencies, leaf miners and woke up this morning to find my gro pro co2 tub had fallen and took out one of BB3’s leaf. If anyone knows anyone who works for that company, let them know their design sucks monkey ass. Hopefully next week is easier.

Bewässerung: 5000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der achtzehnten Woche pH-Wert: 6,3 EC-Wert: 1,6 mS/cm Temperatur: 32ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50% Schädlingsbekämpfung: Diese Woche haben wir ihr Wasser mit Nematoden gegeben da sich doch vermehrt Trauermücken im Bereich aufhalten. Düngemittel: Sie bekommen ab jetzt Brenneseljauche da sie im Outdoor Bereich ist. Besonderheiten: Der Boden um den still herum wurde mit Holzasche behandelt gegen Meltau. -Tag 120 Heute wieder mit jauche gegossen und auf Schimmel kontrolliert, das Wetter soll ja jetzt besser werden, mal sehen ob die Dame gut durch die nächsten Wochen kommt. -Tag 125 Die Buds werden immer Dichter und sie Wächst weiterhin, wir werden sie nochmal Trainieren müssen damit sie nicht mit den Trieben an die Decke kommt. -Tag 126 Heute haben wir sie wieder etwas nach unten gebunden, und ihr Wasser mit jauche gegeben.

20/03: most of the plants are very near the end - there has been an issue with two kush - severe nute burn - I have hung them up to dry before the burn killed off any of the buds - will cut later this week and add the weight to the overall harvest. 1 more week nutes - 1 week flush and 1 week to dry. The white widow colas are blooming so that the stalks are unable to hold them up - added cable ties to keep everything in place

Day 1: A large root can be seen at the bottom of each cell pot. Filled 3x 3 gallon pots with coco perlite 60/40 mix and transplanted each seedlings into its forever home. Not messing with micro-bacteria and all this time round as the nutes have everything that’s needed, fresh coco and a good feed will be more than enough for these girls. Watered them each with 100ml of water mixed with with a small amount of Velokelp and stuck a bag over each to lock in the humidity. Once the transplanting was over I setup a little DIY drip irrigation system with a 10L reservoir. Feeding schedule will be at 1/4 strength of advise dose as recommend by FastBuds and Remo Nutrients. Set up the timer for the lights and drip irrigation system to kick in tomorrow. The lights will change to 18/6 and drip irrigation will kick in just after lights on. Day 2: Lights turned off for the first time after 24 hour light for the past few days. After 6 hours of darkness the seedling are looking healthy as fuck. The first true leaves are now developed and they’re all bright bright green. Drip irrigation timer did its thing for the first time today and I’m well happy with the result from my little DIY kit, hopefully all runs smoothly with it for the rest of the grow. Day 3: The cotyledons have started praying upwards towards the light. The bags over the top of the plants have a good amount of condensation on the inside so I’ve cut a couple small holes in the top of each bag to let a little air in. Turned drip system off for a couple days to avoid over watering. Day 4: Tiny second set of leaves can be seen in the centre of each plant. Made the air holes on bags bigger to get the ready for them to be removed. Drip system still turned off. Day 5: Drip irrigation system is working as it should and environments holding up so all is good. Plants are looking good and seem fairly well rooted. Removed the bags from the top of each pot and turned on the humidifier and set it to 60%. Only thing left to do on this setup up is get some trays under the pots so they’re not sitting in puddles during the feeds. Day 6: All of the plants first true leaves are praying up to the light and the second sets are starting to properly develop. Really happy with all the seedlings so far. When it comes to autos these seem like the business. Fans turned on today and drip irrigation set back on its timer. Found some old metal grilled shelves that have worked out perfect for trays for the irrigation. Day 7: Second set of leaves are beginning to rise up, another week I reckon and I’ll look into hanging the MH bulb so these girls can explode. Very happy with these seeds so far. Gave them their first foliar spray with a 5ml of Velokelp and 5ml of Magnifical mixed into 1L of water. Turned the oscillating fan up a notch too as I’ve got it set up a fair distance away and I didn’t feel the breeze was catching them enough. Mixed up a new stronger feed this evening so it’s read for the droppers coming in tomorrow.

3/28/23 Keep finding pm in different places and having to spray it down. Added a few more fans just in case and it’s just everywhere. I think I’ll need to do a full tent clean before the next run to get everything clean. I trellised the ackbar twins. They’re huge and putting out so much bud. Took awhile to get it all right and ended up bending a few branches but I have a feeling it’s gonna be great when it’s finally done. Blueberry got topped and is starting to grow exponentially. Hoping it will have some stretch to it when it gets its chance to be the canopy but I don’t think it’s gonna be the plant that ackbar is because it hasn’t gotten proper light. White widow is flowering as well but it’s so minimal because the plant is also getting no light. Going to let it run its course but it’s just not getting what it needs at the bottom of the canopy. I should’ve known better but putting too many plants in one box but I didn’t know they would get this big.

feeding her plain water 2nd bust almost finished

Very very short plant. She flowers very quick on you. Second time running this specific strain and she always does something different.

All of the branches have been tied down for LST she is reacting super well so far. The smell on it is definitely becoming apparent. Love how they are reacting ti the nutrients from green leaf as well very responsive. Everytime i prune leaves of more just grow immediately pretty amazing. Cant wait to smoke this plant :)

Day 29 Flower. The plant colors look real good. The heater has caused the plants to respond well. And the hydration of water is also a big factor. With the Gaia Green added a few days ago and the light now pushing 820ppfd from center we are in full bloom on the 1st plant and the other 2 are right behind by a week only. Day 33 on Plant 1 and the others appear 5-7 days behind each other. With plant 3 about 11-14 days behind Plant 1. So I am watering more this 2nd grow being aware when the plant is pulling the most water. Today it was about 1600ml. The patient 1 flower is bringing in a organge color. It’s a bummer I haven’t seen much of any purpling. Day 34 Flower, ph 6.5, 1000ml, the sugar leaves might be turning purple outside in. The other plant has a few yellowing leaves towards the lower section of the plant. Plant 3 is following right behind.

04/23 500ml of solution each pot, PH 5.8 04/24-- 04/25 500ml of solution, PH 6.3, 4ml bio-bloom + 3.5ml bud candy + 2ml bud factor X + 2 ml sensizym + 2ml B-52 + 2ml nirvana 04/26-- 04/27 500ml of pure water. I've defoliated all the plants 04/28-- 04/29 500ml of solution each pot, 4ml bio bloom + 3ml top-max + 2 ml bud candy (mll)

12.9 4th veg week done and girls are now in new 11L pots and I also topped them yesterday (12.9) All healthy 👌 They got used to new homes almost instant. I decided to top all plants now when pretty small and I try to make 6-8 tops to each... hoping they fit 😂 All 3 Strawberry Lemonades are very similiar.. same height and branching about the same also, nice 😋 I'm gonna insert netting there and use some stakes also to part space for plants.. Ok that's it happy growing everyone!! 👽🙏

Day 77. She’s soooo stinky. I’m impressed with her. I wasn’t all that stoked about the orange strain but she smells So good and look so nice she has exceeded my expectations for her. I’m excited to flush her out sooo and get her ready to smoke 🔥🔥🔥

All grown with love under a platinum p900 grow light using advanced nutrients. I’ll try and fill all the previous weeks in as I go but right now I am up to the 3rd week in bloom🤘🏻😬🤘🏻 Triple F by hydro-tops added to nute mix once or twice per week Blackstrap Molasses added to nute mix once or twice per week oh there’s a California light works LED in there too solar storm 220 bloom booster CO2 provided by The Exhale Homegrown CO2
