đ Eternity Grow Cup â Week 3 Veg Report đą
Another week in the books, legends, and though the temps arenât perfect, our Runtz babies are growing strong! đŞ This week marks a pivotal moment as we get serious and start to push these girls toward greatness.
đą Growth Update:
⢠The girls are officially showing their third pair of leaves, and while theyâre growing slow due to cooler temps, theyâre consistent. Standing at 6 cm tall, these beauties are ready for the next steps in their journey.
⢠The yellow sticky traps have also done their job, catching some gnatsâalways a win for pest management!
Letâs talk about the unexpected guests making an appearance in the grow roomâgnats! These tiny critters can be a common nuisance for growers, especially in environments with moist soil. While theyâre not devastating, they can be a sign that things need a bit of tweaking.
Why the Yellow Stickers?
Yellow sticky traps are like candy for gnatsâtheyâre irresistibly attracted to the bright color, which mimics flowers. These traps are a simple, non-toxic way to monitor and control the population. Itâs not just satisfying to see them stuck (though, letâs admit it, it kind of is)âitâs also a great way to keep tabs on how many are lurking around and take action if necessary.
What Causes Gnats?
Gnats love moist environments, and overwatering or humidity thatâs a bit too high can create their perfect breeding ground. Using high-quality soil like Pro-Mix HP with Mycorrhizae helps, but these little critters can still sneak in.
How to Handle Them?
While yellow stickers are a great first line of defense, staying vigilant with watering practices is key. Letting the top layer of soil dry out between waterings can disrupt their life cycle. Plus, products like beneficial nematodes or soil conditioners can help keep them under control.
They may be tiny, but weâve got our eye on them! Letâs not let the gnats steal the showâour Runtz have got all the spotlight! đ
Nutrient Regimen:
This week, weâre sticking with the Aptus Clean Mineral Line for Veg, a powerful combo designed for optimal plant health:
⢠Regulator: 0.15 ml/L â This keeps the plants strong, aids in stress tolerance, and boosts nutrient uptake.
⢠RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L â Balances the water profile and improves nutrient delivery.
⢠All-in-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L â Provides a balanced mix of essential macro and micronutrients for sustained growth.
đ Key Stats:
⢠pH: 6.05
⢠EC: 1.0
⢠Temp: 18.3°C
đ§ Tech, Tools & Building the Dream Studio
Behind the grow, Iâve been fine-tuning my workspace. Using just a piece of wood, carefully cut feet, and some imagination, Iâve elevated my monitors for better editing. Itâs not fancy, but it works! đťâ¨
For the grow, my trusted TrolMaster gear (from the Tent-X to the AMP-3) has been my go-to for precision. Every measureâpH, EC, tempsâis logged and tracked to keep these plants thriving.
