🌱 Runtz - Week 1 Update 🌱 The journey has officially begun, and I’m thrilled to report that everything is off to a smooth start! The seeds germinated quickly and showed no issues breaking through the soil. Healthy and vigorous growth is already visible, which is always an encouraging sign. The seedlings are now standing strong, with their first leaves fully open and soaking up the light. It’s exciting to see this strain already showing its potential! Looking forward to seeing how they progress over the next week. Wishing all the growers in this competition continued success with their own grows! Let’s keep pushing 🙌

Day 35 - few pics and vids..... everything going along nicely 👍 This is a pretty big update, so i'll add to it over the next few days, as i finish building it all.... i'm building these 2 x SS haze, the full tent, just finishing up the setup..... trimming them, changing solutions to 12/12 and flower..... changed the exhaust fan and filter setup to the better outside the tent method.... and installed 12v CPU computer fan, lol ("alta9" fits in 4in ducting perfectly), drops wattage on extractor fan.... 10w tops... got a few kg of active carbon and making/replacing the carbon filter .... i'll add afew vids of the new setup in afew days... Day 36 - few pics/vid of new tent setup...... "alta 9" fan :) post tomorrow after i finish trimmin and settin up night mode etc...... and into tomorrow we go, lol ... Day 37.... slowly getting there..... little bit more to go... this should make things abit more interesting..... right tank (short babie) has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 150 ml -dutch master one gold FLOWER.... 6.4 PH - 1400 PPM left tank has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 50 ml of elements a and 50ml of b and 10 ml of nitro and 20ml of Crystalic (molasses/pot) .... 6.5 PH - 1200 PPM more pics / vids of the finished tent setup.... roots, transfer, etc... Day 37 is alot of vids of the clean and change to flower..... edit - day after build noticed left tank (nutrifield) not enough bubbles..... pulled out the 4 air pump and swapped to the 2 x original oxipumps... much better, also to fix the problem with ph goin high, and bubbles not stirin the mix, was to add another 10ml of crystallic and another 5ml of nitro... then pumped both tanks with ph down and set em to 5.8-6.2 - both plants have fully recovered from the big trim, and bounced back within 12-24hrs, post pics/vid in abit..... Day 39 - made a freaky video... was curious about what the plants would see looking up at the lights... the lights and buzzing of air compressors and bubbling tank water, and dazzling lights turned out pretty cool in vid editor, was in selfie mode.... and final vid of the bounceback from trim :) 👍😎

Switched to my 5 gal pots now, dumped 6L of water into each plant to get the pH back down still waiting for them to dry out a little before the next watering which should be less so next week will have water amounts Height is for the holy punch again. Power flower is still around 1.5"

This plant that I harvested today I've only defoliated and she took well to that. I LST and defoliated the other plant and she is still ripening will harvest her soon. 285gramms of wet bud is quite good for first grow, so i should get about 60g dry, I'll update actual value when dry. She was in the tent with 4 other plants under the Skyline 1000 lights which pull 500w from mains. She filled the room with some sort of orange/lemon candy smell. Smells really nice. I'll update when I harvest the other Candy Kush and report on taste/effect once dried. ------- Day 79 I harvested the other Candy Kush, gave 280g wet, not much of a difference between the trained and untrained plants, although I think she could have gotten fatter had I left her longer. Looking at the buds now that they dried up they got much smaller :D Really loving the smell, can't wait for them to cure.

Genetics : KINGS JUICE (Mimosa X Kings Kush) King's Juice has been developed by The Green House Seed Company by combining Mimosa and King's Kush together. The team says its unique, fast-growing plant will surprise you with her beautiful violet/reddish colour leaves and trichomes all over her. The structure is quite interesting too. They say She will grow into coney type with a long main cola allowing the secondary branches to make a beautiful crown around her. They advertise the smell and taste to as floral notes followed by citrusy and earthy hints. They are saying the effects are uplifting, making your body feel light and active but giving your head a little buzz. 📏Spectacles: - Whole crop: Height: 9.5 in Width: 13 in - Leaf: Length: 4 in Width: 1 in 💡Light: MARS HYDRO TSW 2000 ·Low Energy Consumption LED Grow Light: Consuming 300w and mounted with 704 pcs chips, TSW2000 is able to replace a 400w HPS light while saving 25% electricity energy. ·High Efficiency LED Grow Light: With total light output PPF 716umol/S and leading PPE 2.6umol/j, it’s 50% more photon efficient and can promise a 30% more yield comparing to the old HPS/MH lights. ·Patent Highly Reflective Hood Design: The reflector design on TSW2000 has been patented, which can effectively collect the light dispersed in all directions to improve its light utilization and help plants obtain more light absorption. ·Full Spectrum Plant-Preferred Spectra: By the special combination of spectra that emits most light in the 400-700nm waveband, extremely conducive to plant photosynthesis. Adequate IR(730-740nm) is also included in the spectrum to induce bigger buds. ·Dimming And Daisy Chain Function Available: With an independent dimming knob on the removable driver, supporting 0-100% brightness adjustment and up to 15 LEDs daisy-chained in series, it provides various light intensity for different plant stages and meanwhile saves energy. ·Reliable Certifications And Warranty: CE, ETL, RoHS, UKCA safety certifications approved, 50,000 hours longevity, 5-year warranty, and local after-sales service centers. 🍽️Food: Roots Organics Uprising dry amendments is a diverse blend of 100% natural and organic ingredients specially formulated for maximum results. This formula is effective alone as an amendment or as a top dress for encouraging vigorous growth. This is my first round using Roots organics and so far I am very happy with the results. I will focus on such results all the way through. 👨‍🌾How the week is going: This passed week has been a perfect week for her. She's had a perfect environment for her vigor to be at max. I performed LST on her top 2 nodes this week. This really is helping those lower nodes reach the canopy. The space is getting crowded already. Once they are ready for flower I move half of the girls to a different light and keep the ones I am docing here.I have 11 Phenos that I am sorting through to find the top 3 Resin and flavor producers. Not looking for yeild as much as flavor and resin production. For time management purposes I am only documenting 4 phenos. This Kings Juice from GHS is going to be a big crop and a possible heavy yeilder. It would be a treat to find a Pheno that checks all 3 boxes of resin production, Unique Flavor, and productive yeilds. This one is a good contestant. Thank you for stopping by! Hope this diary is beneficial to you! Any questions or comments are acceptable good or bad. ❤️💛💚 HAPPY GROWS 💚💛❤️ ✌️😎💨

Week 3: Since this is my first grow, I love to see how quickly the cannabis plant grows, and it's accelerating rapidly. They are thriving and healthy. This week, I used fertilizer for the first time, starting with half the amount recommended in the feeding schedule. 0,5/ml per liter.

Buds are really setting up nicely. French Macaron smells right on brand... and the Chem Brulee... my god! It smells like a Tropical Rocket Fuel. Amazong. The Pineapple Meatball has a really unique odor, but it is still fairly faint. Hoping that the neem/nute burn didn't somehow affect its resin/terp/bud production. It certainly hasn't seemed to affect the French Macaron and the Chem Brulee! This week, I sprayed 3 times with Dr Zymes, and it completely knocked out the small number of fungus gnats I was dealing with. Also released 4,500 ladybugs, and it's been fun watching them spread and work. Will probably stick with the once-per-week Zymes treatment for the next few weeks.

🌸 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.
