Week 7 (Feb 15 - Feb 21). All three plants are doing nicely, and River, our youngest plant, is doing a good job keeping up, but still a couple inches shorter. So, I decided to FIM the older two plants to see if it evens them out, or sends them into a growth spurt. If the later, then I'll give River a FIM next week.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 25/10/2019 - First feed I gave her 0.25ml on 250ml of water of Biobizz-Grow, with 6.5ph. 26/10/2019 - Leafs looking a bit crooked, and some pale spot lets hope its not fungus. (gave her 100ml of just PH 6.5 water) 27/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml Biobizz Grow, 6.4PH (changed feeding to once every 2 days with a plain water interval) 28/10/2019 - Started LST 30/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml of each Biobizz - Grow,Bloom and Max, 6.3PH, added carbon filter and it raised the temps to 29c 31/10/2019 - A tad too much of nuts, little burn tip. (Sensi Seeds warned me but I still goofed it)

A champion Amazing plant… bulk for the win And huge colas Feed her until the week then start flushing

Good little week. Bit early posting but that's ok. Been finding the new growth in coming in a bit lighter shade of green then darkening up. Measured the height of them as well and last few weeks I had not updated that part. Started some new Dill as I ate all the other stuff and started some Chives too, got this stuff shipped in from Poland right as the postal strike happened in Canada so it was sitting around somewhere for a good month and a bit. Excited to try this dill as its said to be supper dilly and its essential oil content is to be stronger then other varieties. I think its true as I could smell the seeds though the international packaging. The chives I saw had three varieties and did not know they existed so I got all 3 to try out and see what ones I like best. Jemna, Erecta and Perga, The site said Prega are early and have a sharp taste to them, Erecta is mind and delicate with upright growth and the Jemna are thick and juicy. Added in some BSM to this grow as I feel the soil life is extra hungry with all the other microbe boosters and things going into the mix, also gave it a bit of Mg from Epsom salts as its kinda low in the products and don't want it running out in stretch. then topped it all off with some fish, Still looks to be having some N tox but getting better. I cleared up some leaves that where touching the soil line as I don't like that. and some others fell off when I was cleaning the tent. Don't have pics of the mini plants, CBG and CBDv but they are doing good as well. impressed with their size in the small pot. The one GTR THCv is still having issues but drank a good amount of its water, so it got a half amount to keep it happy. Hopefully in the next week or two it will be on par with the others. Found some more gnats in the fan blades but nothing infesting the pots after adding nematodes. And one of the leaves from the corner CANUK CBD plant looked a bit spotted like mite bites but I don't think that's was it id as I can not find any on the underside or webs and it was only isolated on that one leaf. But will keep an eye out for the little 2dot fuckers. I think that's it.

The cones have learned to be quite dense. The aroma can be considered strong. I liked how they grow.

Flipping to flower after this week and taking clones. Steady growth rate and they are getting smelly lol which is always a good sign before flower.

The fifth week of the 12/12 cycle and the Pineapples aren't going great. The plant on the right side is barely showing signs of deficiency, the one next to it the most signs. The other 2 have also signs of deficiency, but less. I think the ph levels of 6.1 were a bit too low so I'm going to keep those between 6.3 – 6.5 in further grows. But there's gonna be weed because the buds are taking form and smell is kicking in good. This is what they've got this week Day 1 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.48– ph 6.3) Day 2 → Dry Day 3 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much) Day 4 → Dry Day 5 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.48– ph 6.3) Day 6 → Dry Day 7 → Same as day 3 The cobs are now at 45 cm with 268 watt → DLI 38.2/PPFD 884 Temperatures stayed between 21.1 – 28.4 °C ( 69.9 – 83.1 °F) and humidity levels between 47 – 70 % Till next week!

No problems throughout the entire grow, a very easy plant, literally automatic. It produced a lot of resin and smelled delicious, very good. Low production due to the small 3L pot, cold, and only 12 hours of light. But the quality is outstanding.

ROYAL QUEEN CBG AUTO ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #11 Overall WEEK #6 Flower This lady made some big dense buds and just looks amazing as she's coming to the end of her grow cycle I've had no issues with this CBG plant easy to grow and a nice producer!! Stay Growing!!! Royal Queen Seeds ROYAL QUEEEN CBG Auto

Decent strain to grow. Finished mid October. Did pretty good against mold and pests. Earthy lemoney smell. Fed 6 part GH nutes through a drip feed system.

Blütewoche 6 Was soll ich sagen die Blüten werden immer fetter und fester. Ich bin eigentlich nur noch alle zwei Tage am gießen. Mehr ist nicht zu tun. Gut das die Gemüseanzucht wieder los geht sonst wäre es fast langweilig 😉 Die Pflanzen sehen nach wie vor sehr gesund aus, lediglich im unteren Bereich merkt man langsam das Nährstoffe verlagert werden. Trauermücken sind kaum noch zu sehen. Da haben die fressfeinde sich wohl gelohnt. Die Skywalker ist eine sehr einfach anzubauende Sorte. Bei mir haben sich meiner Meinung nach 4 unterschiedliche Phenos gezeigt. Lasst mir dazu aber gerne eure Meinung da! Liebe Grüße 🖖

Week 1 now complete since we flipped the switch. Pistols are are creeping out slowly but surely. Decent. See what happens….

Crescendo tudo por aqui!tive que fazer uma super crop para caber aqui e parece que vou ter que fazer outro !AS Meninas estão todas bem cabeludas e tb ficando bastante espesso!polinização nos brotos Inferior esta funcionando ja tem umas sementes! semana que vem tem mais!

I will need to put her in natural sunlight to cool her down. She is not coping to well with the light penetration. I will keep a close eye on her over the next few weeks!

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

First week of flower

The autopots are flying now , you can see the Cuppa T has gone from the biggest to the smallest plant. In 10 days. I have been defoliating daily as the plants are growing so fast now. Will flip on Monday hopefully there should be a new flowering light arriving soon, a slight upgrade. I have also been giving the plants a weekly foliar feed with some of the KNF nutrients I have , FAA (Fish Amino Acid) WCAP ( Water Soluable Calcium Phosphate ) and LAB ( Lacto Bacillus )

These 3 Gelato auto are part of a 30 plant SOG project, in this diary we will only focus on this fantastic strain as you can see, this is Gelato auto by fast buds grown with nothing but FLO (living soil blend) mixed up with the soil and water 💦, let's see what type of flavors we are going to find! Stay tuned for this one! 👨‍🌾❤️💚

Hey guys I had to fast forward to the end of her journey. I will post the remainder of the grow weeks later. I ran into some issues a couple weeks into flowering. I was using Tiger Bloom after about four to five weeks of veg. She loved it. Once she went into flowering her second week I introduced Big Bud nutes as well. Once I started using Big Bud she started to show signs that something was off. My water ph was about 6.3-6.4. And I used the minimum amount of nutes according to the directions. I will post pictures of the bad signs. So I flushed her just in case she was locked out or too much nutes. I flushed her with Flawless Finish and pure ph water. I due think this had some impact on her growth during flowering, but I am still excited about her final outcome so far. I have placed her in complete darkness for 48 hrs and will be harvesting her. She turned out very large with nice size buds and colas thanks to LST. Her buds are even more frosty than before the dark period. Also I placed ice at the base of her around her stock. She’s seems to be just a bit more frosty. We’ll see. I will post harvest soon
