Week 11! Day 77. Gotta be nearing the final lap now. Old fan leaves are turning yellow & pistils are turning brown. I did a few trial runs of "ice flushing" but with just one ice cube at a time last week lol. Maybe 2-3 cubes per day. Figured it'd help imitate colder conditions outdoors if nothing else. Still doing the slow, small waterings as she definitely prefers them to dumping a whole bottle-and-a-half in there at once. The smell is more noticeable than before, but still not where you'd expect for the size & maturity. My smaller plants both smelled stronger, and MUCH earlier. One of them was a Solo cup grow all the way to the end & neither exceeded a paltry 4.3 grams dry. (Maybe I've just had COVID one too many times since then but this plant is as odor-free as can be). Frost level is moderate compared to popular strains & bud sites are abundant which is my main concern. I don't smoke weed for the taste or smell, though I know terps play a role in the final effects. This girl couldn't smell any LESS like Skittles, berries or chocolate if it tried, leaning much farther in the skunky/pungent direction. Planning to do a wet trim & staggered harvest, cutting the top into 3 sections 24 hours apart to hopefully avoid/reduce stress. Then I'll leave the bottom part to grow another week or so. With a plant this tall and lanky, there is a real difference in maturity of buds. Plus my lights are weak af. Not sure how I'll get the temps down in the 60-70 degree range for for TWO separate drying periods, but we'll try. (I'm cold-natured & would have to run the AC 24/7 since it's still warm & muggy here, and that gets expensive. But I'll also have my ceiling & oscillating fans, some baking soda to absorb moisture & windows to open on cool nights. Gotta keep the temp AND humidity in the right range! I looked at her the morning after applying a small amount of potassium humates & noticed a bunch of brown rusty spots on the upper sugar leaves. So I cut them off. Would be curious to know what it most likely is though. Also found a dead bug on her. Little black thing with wings... looks like he died happy lol. 10/29/25: Ice flush + stem-splitting initiated. Next is 24 hours of light before adding more ice (half as much, if that) plus 36 hours in the dark before (partial) harvest. Landlord scare this morning had me scrambling to hide everything! Hence the bent cola on top--she wore the black garbage bag "hat" again lol. No bottle/chemical nutes so this isn't technically a "flush" in every sense... more of an end-of-life stressor/imitation of outdoor conditions (if we weren't frying due to climate change, heh). Hoping this staggered harvest thing works out. I wouldn't likely be doing it if not for the time crunch & fact that I need to whittle this plant down to a more manageable size. Next few days should be eventful, check back. 😉

This plant is a test of a new genetic I hope to release from GHSC which I thank for letting me try these delicacies. The highest quality is the resin, oh my how much resin has spread on the flowers and leaves, even the most peripheral ones. Exceptional way of rendering this plant. It's also very very fast, ready in 9 weeks and I really love the way even the leaves turn dark on purple at the end of their life, beautiful. The production also seems excellent we have a great result on the scales, the flowering is in clusters, you are not impressed by the space between one internode and the other from a cluster flowering but the flowers are dense and heavy and with this resin for me it could flourish as it pleases. I really hope that the GHSC masters decide to let it out, I advise you to be careful on the site and on social networks and grab more serious seeds than the situation for the season. https://greenhouseseeds.nl Try powdered feedings! https://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/us/ Mars is a leading company and it shows in the quality and quantity of the crops! https://www.mars-hydro.com/

The ladies has been having issues since day one, but im not giving up on these fighters! I have only been feeding ph 6.3 water, with no nutrition. Monitering moisture level in soil, and feeding before dry. -Temps - 26-27 day / 22-23 night -RH% - 65%(+-1.5) day / 70% night (+-1.5) -VPD 0.8 - 1.0 KPA 👉12/9 Climate on point, still recovering. 👉13/9 Letting them be. 🙏14/9 Praying every day. 👉15/9 The 3 bigger ones, is showing signs of adapting and overcoming the struggle. 👉16/9 The 3 smaller ones is still behind by a lot. 👉17/9 Topping two of the biggest and cloning the tops. *********First nutrients added to watering. (The 3 smallest got a bit of Biobizz root juice as top feed.) 👉18/9 In the mist of gathering data, to dial in vpd. I have only been feeding ph 6.3 water, with no nutrition. Monitering moisture level in soil, and feeding before dry. -Temps - 26-27 day / 22-23 night -RH% - 65%(+-1.5) day / 70% night (+-1.5)

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. A huge thank you to our sponsors Aptus Holland, TrolMaster, CannaKan, Grove Bags, Ziggi Papers, and of course, Zamnesia, Plagron, and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. And to our incredible community—followers, supporters, and even the critics—we appreciate every single one of you!

2nd time around Miss Candy Auto is doing very good. She is putting on weight in her buds and Getting very frosty. This Fall weather is much better than the dog days of summer. I stole a bud off of her so I could use my max-see to get a few close up pictures. She isn't just ready for a harvest yet but she is close! Stay tuned and Be Happy! Comments and Likes appreciated.

So I took a vacation over Christmas so lost a few weeks. I'm currently at 2 wks into flower. The branches became too strong to be weighed down so I switched tactics and threw a net over her to scrog while she stretched in her transition. This works superbly and filled out the remaining space nicely. I'm leaving for this week while she's still stretching before I get in there with my scissors, it looks bushy and messy, but there are tops a plenty and the plant structure is super strong which was my intention from the outset. I'm position the tops daily to guide them. I will prune to next to nothing to get the bud sites exposed and I want full canopy penetration so I don't want too many colas fighting for position. Next week will require more concentration and skill. Oh fuck then lol...

Oh, Week 5 in the fabulous world of my green squad has been nothing short of a horticultural sitcom! I kicked off the festivities with a low-stress training (LST) session that would make any plant yoga instructor proud. Imagine me in my gardening yoga pants, coaching the lower branches like, "Stretch, my green warriors, stretch! We're aiming for a yoga retreat, not a sedentary plant spa!" I decided it was time for a botanical makeover – no more settling for an average, run-of-the-mill plant. Oh no, my friends, I was determined to turn my green buddy into the Beyoncé of the tent. The plant underwent a transformation that would put any Hollywood diva to shame, becoming a bushier superstar that covered more ground than a celebrity red carpet. I could almost hear the applause from the tiny plant leaves – a standing ovation for the botanical sensation. But why stop at just a physical transformation? In the spirit of keeping up appearances, I went full-on garden Marie Kondo. It was time to declutter! Any discolored leaves that didn't meet the high standards of my garden's fashion police got the boot. Who needs an unsightly leaf cramping the style of the green kingdom, right? It's all about maintaining that A-list garden aesthetic – the Vogue of the plant world. In the grand comedy of plant life, Week 5 has been a laugh-out-loud episode filled with beauty, drama, and a touch of horticultural glam. As I stand there, admiring my now Beyoncé-level plant, I can't help but feel like the director of a blockbuster comedy – green leaves fluttering in the wind, tiny plant divas striking poses, and the whole garden stage set for a laugh riot. Stay tuned for the next episode of "Greening Up with THCpapaTHCPAPA" – because when it comes to plants, it's all about the glam and greenery! 🌿💃✨

I added two 120mm fans and CO2 bag. Plant looks great. Kush is very compact and need less defoliation. Happiness is the perfect ScroOG plant. One or two weeks and I switch to bloom. Before Happines grows to big, because the high of my grow space is very limited.

Heard good things about this strain so decided to give it a go and maximise my grow tent with plants no point in not using the space time and energy when I could be filling it with a new seedling lol. She has taken 4 days to germinate which is the usual time it seems to take when placed directly in the substrate

Hello. This is the last pictures of the growing Sweet Zenzation. I'll be cutting them down after a couple of days of dark. I'm pleased with the way this plant grew. Big dense buds and the stock was strong enough to hold up the big buds. The buds have a darker color sort of purplish to them. The smell is pleasant, sweet and candyish. I wonder which fruit'z these Zkittlez tastes like?? : ) I'll cut some taster buds and let them dry while the buds are curing and be ready to make a smoke report when I come back with the harvest report. See ya in a couple of weeks. Chuck.

done a defoliation on both the girls to get a nice air flow though into the canopy, as I was pulling down one of the main stems on the BPP I cropped it, not intended to snap the branch.

Day 36F This skunk is kicking OUT 😍 I love it, smells so damn good! Nostalgia of 90s back with a sweet skunk but pungent nostril pinching aroma 👌 Buds forming amazing in my opinion concidering the abuse she has taken and sharing 3gal pot. Still just alternating feed/water and there happy 💚 Day39F - skunk is absolutely thriving, swelling and increasing her blanket of thc all over, and the colours are of a golden orange and green 😍
