🌸 Week 9 – Letting Go to Shine Brighter 🌸 Welcome to Week 9 of flower in the Eternity Grow Cup, a milestone moment where we shift gears and let the plants begin their final expression. This is the week we cut all nutrients — a bold move made with care and trust — leaving only System Clean to keep our lines pristine in the Autopot system. No harsh flushes, no dry backs, just gentle guidance toward the finish line. We didn’t wait for the reservoir to hit empty. Instead, we added pure water early, letting the system blend into a soft EC of 0.45, with a reservoir temperature of 21.9°C and a pH tuned to 6.3 — perfect for this phase. In the soil, EC sits at 0.95, giving the plants enough to sip on while encouraging them to cannibalize their stored energy, pushing out their richest colors, aromas, and trichome production. And what a show they’re putting on. The colors in the room are breathtaking: purples, oranges, yellows, deep greens — a painter’s palette. But above all, there’s this serene dark fade taking over, a sign of maturity and final expression. Trichome production is off the charts, with Runtz #1 still dominating the aroma game — sweet, powerful, unforgettable — while Runtz #4 emerges as the frost queen, covered head to toe in shimmering resin. The environment is dialed in: • Humidity at 52% • Temperature holding at 28°C • PPFD reduced to 683 to ease the plants into ripening • CO₂ around 1000 ppm for that final metabolic push We’re focusing now on presence and precision — ensuring airflow, temperatures, and humidity are in harmony. Every decision from here is about preservation, encouragement, and letting nature take the lead. This week’s update includes a special series of photos taken through the mask lens — showing the garden from my eyes, from tops to bottoms, sides to centers, trichomes to fade tones. It’s a personal view I’m grateful to share. The structure of the grow has become something of a symbol: four phenos in each corner, one in the center — creating an X from above, a cosmic mark that feels intentional, aligned, and just… right. They’ve bushed out so beautifully that this symmetry, almost a message from the plants themselves, is impossible to ignore. And from the top down to the lowest buds, there’s no weak link. No “B-buds” here — they’ve become A-tier expressions, worthy of jars and not just extracts. The synergy between Plagron, Aptus Holland, and the TrolMaster & ThinkGrow lighting ecosystem is performing at an elite level — tuning spectrum, dialing environment, and nurturing these compact queens into full form. This is a week of wonder, of silence before the final bloom. A week of gratitude. ⸻ 🌟 With Grower’s Love, I want to thank: • Our incredible community — lovers, haters, dreamers, doers • The sponsors who make this possible • And every grower competing in this cup — you are the fire that keeps this space glowing.

They are huge. I think I will start doing defoliation 2 times per week. PH 5,5 - 5,7 EC 2,50 - 2,75

Finalmente le auto sono quasi pronte...

29.06.2025 Took a clone from each of my Plants on day one of flower. 30.06.2025 Did some LST..

Day 63. Looking good and sugary. Smells like peaches Day 64. Too pretty not to photograph lol. Day 68. Twisted Trees used my photo of this plant for their website. I'm honored. Great company great genetics.

Did a full on defoliation in the beginning of the week

15th.05.2025 Day 70. Left these girls for a couple of days, came back to see them explode. All milky trichomes. Still some white pistil hairs. Strong 💪 smell. Tropicana cookies 🍪 strong cirtus smell. Banana 🍌 purple punch has sweet and fruity smell, so lovely. Lemon 🍋 cherry🍒 has bubble gum smell with hint of citrus. They have definitely put on some weight in past week. We will see how far we can take them until we start seeing amber trichomes. 17th.05.2025 day 72 Today I harvested the tropicana cookies. I still could have waited a bit longer, however i am dying for a smoke. Hung whole plant in small grow tent, maybe 1ft x 1ft. I am trying to slow down drying as much as possible because on last run (wurlz f1) I dry too quickly without keeping an eye on temperature and humidity. Buds were crispy. In dry tent now the buds are touching the wall. I don't know if this will affect the dry. We will find out. Placed dehumidifier in tent as humidity keeps going up as plant drys. Set at 60%. I can't get temperature down to 60f or 15.5c as recommended. My temperature is around 20c or 68f. As for the others i will try to push them as much as possible. We'll see how things progress. 18th.05.2025 Day 73 Today was chop day for banana 🍌 purple punch 👊🏼. She is frosty as f**k. On this plant fimming was applied. She came out short as I wanted. It's difficult to see with jewelers loop but I see some amber. I need to get better scope. Also today I gave chemdawg a reservoir change out with final part solution. Also because there is more room in grow tent I spread some of the branches and trimmed off some of the lower popcorn buds. Topped up lemon cherry with nutrient solution. Soon lemon 🍋 cherry 🍒 will be chopped🔪 For the dry tent I removed dehumidifier as it was creating heat on the buds directly about. I am using an inline fan now . Once the humidity gets too high it comes on and sucks dry air in. This also removes stagnant or stale air, which is better for buds and will help prevent mold. 21th.05.2025 Day 76 Today lemon 🍋 cheery was harvested. Looking at trichomes they seem milky woth little amber, however the pistil hairs on her were all brown and she was starting to lose her bubble smell. I placed her in dry tent with tropicana cookies and banana purple punch. I had to install carbon filter because these girls were stanking up the house.

Amnesia Lemon is nuts! Love the fresh taste, smell and an amazing kick!

👍

I started germination of 2 Jack F1 beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.

Last week, first of flowering, was outstanding, I could water the girls regulary and the work paid off they stretched a lot and are looking super healthy. The girl right below the upper fan is suffering a bit with the shadows and is notoriously shorter than her sisters, I will need to rethink the air circulation for the next grow. Another concern of mine is their height, hoping they dont stretch anymore as the lights are already at maximum possible height inside tent and there is only 20cm gap between it and the plants.

Semaine 2 de floraison les plantes se développement bientôt le strech entrenoeud court idéal pour le SOG.

Planta com bom crescimento, os botões estao engordando e tive um leve problema com a altura da placa que deu uma queimada emalgumas folhas do galho mais alto ja subi mais a placa.

Hi everyone ! Everything is OK, it's been 1 week since i switch lamp to 12/12, they are still growing, but stretch hasn't start yet. Plants on left tank are beautifull and grow very fast. they cover 60/70% of the tent 👌

Added nutrients to top off reservoirs everything looks good …I am content so far with testing will be dropping light schedule to 11 on 13 off to accelerate bud development hopefully shortening flowering time

Girls have settled into summer camp nicely. Worries about not taking the transplant diminish more each day and I am gaining more confidence in strong roots with each passing day as well. I had to build a supplemental lighting system for the greenhouse. Here at home we are experiencing a wetter than usual summer so far and with that brings clouds. So I needed to do something. So I built a new greenhouse light. It cranks out some light. Currently at canopy I’m measuring around 600 PPFD. Plants are loving it. All three plants sexed and all are females. Didn’t think otherwise. So the formula 707 is performing better than expected. Water retention is crazy. Watered the plants on Sunday with a gallon each , today is Thursday and no water needed. Going to try and get to Sunday for a whole week between watering. *** update, added a short video from 7am this morning. The girls really do like the homemade light. *** update, aggravated just lost an hours worth of data. I’ll come back in a while and do it again. Fu.k *** update, Monday evening 7/21/25 quite a bit to go over so let me go take a toke and we’ll get things started. Hang on. Ok. Girls had a great weekend. The weather was warm with more sunshine than was predicted. All systems are now a go! All three have entered stretch and fear larger than normal plants are in my future. Knowing the nutrients were ready and available went ahead and watered them even though the formula 707 could have taken them a couple of days longer before requiring water. Each plant was watered Sunday with 2 gallons of silica amended, 5 ml per gallon Emerald Harvest sturdy stalk. Now bring on those massive colas. Each plant is showing its own unique characteristics. The 91 Grapes is tall and massive. The Vanilla Fizz is a bush and I think will flower first. The Harvey Wallbanger has yet to produce a leaf that has more than five points, not one, seven point leaf yet. Started doing a little LST today and will try to do some each day to stay caught up on it and the trimming. Gave the pots a thorough soaking on Sunday and don’t anticipate having to water them again until Sunday. If I do have to water them again before then that means I have monster plants that are thirsty.

📆 Week 10, 14-20 March 2024 14-20 March - Let the plant grow and observed. 📑 The flowers continue to form and grow as expected with trichomes and resins building. The smell is very prevalent of citrus/lemon scents with sweet floral undertones. Some shades of purple are beginning to appear in the upper buds (see picture). 🍽️ 14 March nutrient solution changed 🐲 14 March feeding schedule updated 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 2.3 at 61 degrees F 💡 Light power at 75% , DLI 45-50 canopy coverage at 18hrs That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Week 5 and we are sailing along just topped dressed the plants as of day 30 and feed them their weekly organic mater with compost tea and top dress some home made worm castings adding worms and biology to the soil. 2 more week since the one gallon and then into their final home. Removed all big fans as of day 31 to allow all side branches to grow out into a bush. The little fans will replace the bigger ones. Strong Smells of lemon lime noticeable after handling plants

I’m starting the fifth week, and balancing humidity and temperature is becoming a bit challenging; it feels like I’m always slightly off on one of them. I applied a preventive antifungal treatment since the humidity has been a bit high. The buds have finished forming and are beginning to compact. Some leaves are still yellowing slightly. The smell is getting much stronger, and some pistils are already starting to turn brown.
