🌸 Week 8 Flower – The Trichome Symphony Begins 🌸 Eternity Grow Cup This week… it’s all about the frost. ❄️ We are diving deep into the universe of trichomes, those magical crystal-like structures that define potency, aroma, and visual beauty. Each pheno this week is presented with its own dedicated video — so everyone can witness the uniqueness and evolution of these genetics firsthand. The photos? Focused close and true on the trichomes and their stalks, the very essence of the plant’s protective and expressive language. 💎 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are tiny resin glands that cover the surface of cannabis flowers and sugar leaves. They’re responsible for producing and storing cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids — the compounds that create the plant’s effects, scents, and flavors. They act as the plant’s natural defense — from UV rays, pests, and environmental stress — and in return, they gift us with beauty, medicine, and art. Why So Many Trichomes Here? This room has turned into a crystal forest thanks to a harmonious mix of tech, care, and nature: 🔹 Spectrum Tunings: Using the TrolMaster system, we’ve dialed in a spectrum rich in reds, far-reds, and UV at precise times to stimulate trichome production. The plants are responding in full. 🔹 Lighting: The under-canopy power of the ICL 300s, combined with the canopy-level intensity of the Model 1s, is creating full-spectrum saturation from top to bottom. Buds are stacked, frosty, and glowing from every angle. 🔹 Nutrition Synergy: The tag-team of Aptus Holland and Plagron has been flawless. The clean base, balanced micro and macro elements, and biostimulants have driven these girls into full expression mode. You can see the nutrition working in every crystal. 🌿 Where Are We Now? We’re likely one week to ten days from harvest, but of course we’ll follow the plants’ signals. They’re still swelling and building — it’s the final stretch, and they’re sprinting. Nerdy Note: Trichomes can be bulbous, capitate-sessile, or capitate-stalked — and in this run, the capitate-stalked ones are standing tall and loaded. Expect a full cannabinoid and terpene profile when it’s time for analysis.( bro talk not lab hihihihi) 🌟 Let’s take a moment to recognize that we’re witnessing the peak of this cycle. This is living art, frozen in time by a camera lens but alive in scent and energy. This Week’s Feeding Program To support this explosive trichome production in Week 8 Flower, we’re feeding with precision and purpose. Every drop counts now, and here’s the clean, efficient mix we’re running: • Aptus Holland – Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • Aptus Holland – System Clean: 0.25 ml/L • Aptus Holland – RO Water Condition: 0.8 ml/L • Aptus Holland – All-In-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L • Plagron – Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • pH set at 6.2 💧 We’re keeping it clean, clear, and consistent. No extra PK boosters or unnecessary additives. Just smart nutrition, tuned spectrum, and stable conditions to let the plants express themselves naturally. The synergy between Aptus Holland’s Clean Program and Plagron’s Green Sensation is clearly showing in every frosty bud. This week, we’ve fine-tuned the spectrum to push the plants into full resin-production mode. I’ve reduced the white light intensity to 40% while keeping the reds and UVs running at 100%. This shift focuses energy on the wavelengths that directly stimulate secondary metabolite production—especially trichomes. Red light enhances flower development and density, while UV exposure encourages plants to produce protective compounds, like cannabinoids and terpenes, as a natural defense. This balance between lower photosynthetic pressure and high-spectrum stimulation is helping the girls finish strong, frosty, and full of character. 🙏 Massive thanks to all sponsors, followers, friends, and growers in the community. To the ones competing, to the ones just watching — THANK YOU. This is almost the end of the road, and every diary, every plant, every effort deserves respect. 💬 Don’t forget to follow the full 4K experience on YouTube, and for behind-the-scenes action and updates, join us on Instagram.

12/12 - Pinky is doing her Pinky thing again... some leaves are curling down and I basically blew a raspberry at her this morning... It's almost as if she is double-daring me to actually go into a frenzy trying to correct it - but what's to correct? Half of the leaves are curling down, half of them are perfect... so if I try to fix the curling, what happens to the ones that are perfect??? So I blew a raspberry at her and told her to just do her thing... Sigh. She's also doing her sativa thing - holy cow! I had to double check her height this morning because I couldn't believe it! 10" in a week... she's now standing taller than #2Bruce who is sitting right beside her... Cripes! If I ever grow a Sativa again, I'm going to aggressively LST it from germination! This is bloody ridiculous! Meanwhile, in her 5th week on this planet and in her 2nd week of flower, the flowers are slow to develop (no wonder... damned plant is putting everything into trying to reach my 7' ceiling!). She and I have a weird relationship... on MY end, it's a love/hate relationship but for her, I think she just loves taunting me.... 12/13 - Well. I've never had THAT happen before! Her EC and her pH are EXACTLY the same as yesterday! Maybe she's chortling away at us after I blew some raspberries at her yesterday! Maybe she's saying "oh, ok... she's on to me, I guess I'll have to quit being a goof" ... but maybe she's got something else up her sleeve she'll hit me with tomorrow? Don't trust her... I really don't! LOL! 12/15 - Had a bucket change yesterday and today she's telling me I didn't give her enough PK... what a cheeky little gal... so I obliged her wanton hunger. I didn't want to give more of the KoolBloom as you can really overdo it with that so I just fed her 3 more tsps of the Bloom... and she's happy! :-D 12/17 - I am completely entranced with this lady... mesmerized...

Big defoliation into flower, couple days ago, hopefully she’s done stretching, she growing into the light and I can’t raise it any higher 😩. But good news is cal mag cleared. And she definitely into flower. Took all of 50 days from sprout. But hey who’s counting 😭.

Que hay familia, vamos con la décima semana de floración de estas Candy Rain de Zamnesia, para el concurso POWER BUDS Plagron x Zamnesia CONTEST. Las flores han terminado de madurar, con 70 dias de floración desprenden unos aromas bastante dulces, en 24 horas me imagino que haré las últimas fotos y las cortaré. Tercera y última semana solo con agua controlando siempre el Ph, que ahora mismo lo dejamos en 6. Tragan alrededor de 0.6 litro por planta cada 48 horas.(3 riegos semanales). La temperatura máxima está en 22 grados y la humedad está entorno al 40%. Os adelanto, es una planta híbrida predominante indica, es bastante fácil de cultivar, y aunque no sean plantas grandes si produce buenas flores y bien resinadas. Hasta aquí es todo, en unos días actualizaré la cosecha y la smoke review. Os comento que tengo un descuento y para que compréis en la web de Zamnesia de un 20%, el código es ZAMMIGD2023 The discount 20% and the code is ZAMMIGD2023 https://www.zamnesia.com/ Hasta aquí todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨

Hello folks Really hard to manage the temp with the heat wave in europe this week she show us some signs of heat stress but otherwise, she develop well and quickly 4.5 liters of tap water each, every 4/5 days and a little defoliation every day Stay tuned,see you next week guys 😘 I also have another diary with two Toxic from Ripperseeds if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD Fam😍👊

Muy Buenas señores! seguimos a la espera del equipo Led, Entramos en semana 2 de Flora con muy buen color esperemos conseguir mantener esa línea...las Royal Gorila están verdaderamente monstruosas, esta tanda pondremos menos fertilizantes por usar Mykos. Empieza lo bueno en breves veremos que tal va la resina con este calor. Salut e força al canut Farmers!

Sorry for the lack of uploading ! These plants have been perfect from the start. Budding out nicely and haven't shown any signs if defficiency. All training has been stopped and I have started cutting back on the nitrogen for the 2 autoflowers. The peanut butter cookies is growing to be very bushy so I have done some light defoliation to help with light penetrative to the lower canopy of the plant

5th of september, Rain is on its way, little more trimming was done to promote airfloe during the wet days to come.

High quality flowers, Very dense and aromatic,it smells like candy in my house.A very easy plant to grow, it has gone through multiple bad weather without losing either vigor or production. I recommend it to everyone, Expert or not.thank you fast buds for your Work and the Contest.

Day 14 today from seed. A real difference on last weeks maturity is starting to show. The following nutrients have been added this week; Rhizotonic Part A Part B Calmag Cannazym Boost accelerator Ph: 6 ppm +/- 600 Now under spider farmer LED1000 There is now more strength in the stems and no more falling over

Cali smoke on and off lately- plants don't seem to mind too much. They've been flowering for more than about a week now - I've up'd my nutrients a tiny tiny bit - fairly consistent though. A couple of pests - leafhoppers - have been spotted tearing some small holes on a couple of my leaves Just have been flicking off about two or three everyday, nothing to serious to worry about I think. Also, I sprayed a foliar spray 'Diamatacious Earth' about a week ago - all over the bottoms and under sides of my plants - I'm hoping to not have to re apply another spray but might in the next couple of weeks if pests continue to infiltrate! I went overboard on the tablespoons I used in my hand sprayer, applied a thick layer haha. OVERALL - Plants maintaining healthy growth. Might look to lollipop or remove some unneeded giant fan leaves soon!! THANKS FOR READING!! AUGUST 26, 2021

Since last week, the bush has continued to grow nicely again. A few days ago, I added about 10g of Bio Grow because I noticed slight deficiencies. After mixing this into the soil with Bio Enhancer, it looked healthier again in the following days. Now it has another 1-2 weeks of growth, and then the good plant will start flowering!

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

Day 71 - She just seems to get frostier everyday, it just keeps packing on. This girl has definitely been on of the frostiest I’ve grown yet. The smell she’s producing just smells like sweet citrus and really looking forward to the chop but will probably give her till the end of week 12. So she’s got about 2 weeks left and the next watering, she’ll be flushed and nothing but water till the end. Day 72 - Not much I can say about this girl right now, just waiting for trichs to be right to chop. Will give her a flush tomorrow or Friday. Day 73 - I wish I could get good pictures of the trichs but I never can. I’ve tried different attachments for my phone and everything else but nothing seems to work but either way no clear left and 100% milky but would like to get at least 20-30% amber before chopping but at least I know she’s ready at any time now. Day 74 - Gave her a flush using Foxfarm’s Sledgehammer and no just letting her go until she finishes off. Still not really seeing an amber trichs so she’s definitely not ready for the way I like it. Day 75 - She’s starting to show a bit of amber trichs now but only about 1-2%. She could be getting chopped next weekend but possibly sooner depending on how she finishes off. Day 76 - Was almost ready to cut the girl today but decided to hold off till next weekend. She’s already bulked you’re quite a bit but gonna give her time to feed of the nutes in the leaves and see how much more she will bulk up. Day 77 - Nothing new, just waiting to chop. Might give her another flush tomorrow or Wednesday, just to make sure all the nutes are out of the soil.

It is so very hot now every day here. All my girls are suffering from the heat and they need to be watered very frequently. I avoid drying them out completely. She is starting to get some seriously fat colas. I currently have 6 autos growing, and this girl shows the fattest buds yet. She also smells really good - very fresh. I hope that she won´t lose her smell with the heat...

Téměř všechny trichomy jsou bílé. Nechám je ještě týden poté 3 dny ve tmě a konečně bude sklizeň. Opravdu už se nemohu dočkat protože každý Shogun voní jako citronová borovice. Už je chci kouřit 😁 Začátkem týdne dostaly proplach vodou s odtokem okolo 5 litrů . Listy pozvolna mění barvu na žlutou. To je pro mě dobře 😊 Shining Silver Haze téměř bez vůně. Haze Berry velmi slabý zápach.

As of day 14, I am happy (although a little worried) about how the grow is going. Growth continues to be somewhat strong and new growth seems to be healthy, but the issue that affected the lower leaves has left me a little spooked. It has continued to the second set of leaves to a limited degree. I have mostly eradicated the fungus gnats who moved in from some houseplants so that is a plus. Poor transplanting technique could have also damaged the roots, as the issues became most apparent after potting up to 1 gallon containers. Although I have been very careful to PH my nutrients after mixing, I realize I was not PHing at every fertigation and may have missed some early swings upwards in my watering reservoir so I am now being more diligent making sure the PH is consistently under 6.2. I am hoping that these actions will have fixed whatever issue was occurring, but if there is anything I may have missed please let me know! I have a expanded the timelapse to contain all the growth up to day 14, and will continue to re-edit it for every week. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! Day 16: began LST to expose/encourage the new branches. There has been plenty of healthy new growth, so I suspect that the leaf issues were due to temporary PH fluctuations in my watering reservoir that went undetected. Thank you to those who answered my grow question! 👍 Day 17: FIMed the Blue Dream'matic, which has been growing strongly. I went a little more aggressive because in the past I have messed the technique up by getting mostly leaf instead of the new node of growth. Hopefully it goes well this time! Day 18: more LST will wait as my smaller plant Staples do not have enough hold, when I transplant to 5g pots I will continue. Day 20: a few lower leaves continue to show the browning. I will transplant at day 21 which will give me a chance to check the roots, and I will be adding h202 to my watering bucket to prevent pH swings due to bacteria (which I believe has caused the issue). The plant is still growing vigorously and is branching well post FIM.

2022-10-21 Easy going with the "Sugarskull-Project" The next Days aim going to start to feed, because the Plant grows strong and she shows some Need for N Both Plants doing fine into their Vessels Iam still having trouble to upload Videos, iam not sure if you can load them website for for my Fertilisers: https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ Code: mrs_larimar Breeder Info: 👉Black Sugar is an indica dominant hybrid of Black Domina, L.
