🌸 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.

Germinated very quick. A Few endup with a long tail sproughting by the time I had been to work! so planted them asap. Straight into 15l pots but possibly slightly too deep. Misted the top with a spray bottle until it appeared damp each morning. The video is from 9 days after first germinating or I would have just had pics is pots of soil!

Hi everyone 😁 Welcome back in another week update! Thank you all for this amazing support on this bananas journey💚💚💚 Uploading and updating each week content on daily bassis so please revisit this diary if week not over yet. So far all going great. Girls looking very healthy and happy. Due to my short trip had to leave my 🍌💜👊 girls unsupervised for 3 days. Was stunned when opened my cabinet on the Dec 5th. Athena stretched like crazy. Good 3 inches. She better slow down as not much roof space left for her. May tie some taller branches to netting if necessary. Introducing blooming nutes for the first time this week on December 6th at smaller dosage and on the second watering as listed. Week 8 Dec 4 - Dec 10 Dec 5 Leaves tucking Dec 6 Heavier selective defoliation on both girls. Athena fully lolipopped and Xena at 75%. Watered with 8 ltr beetwen both with perfect runoofs PH 6.4. Girls were very thirsty 🤤 Dec 7-8 Just enjoying how my girls developing. Frost has landed and they are start showing colours. All is looking great. Dec 9 Second watering for this week 7 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH 6.4 Even with so much difrence in size of my 🍌💜👊 girls it seems that they are drinking my juice almost equally. Dec 10 Applied selective defoliation and tied 3 tallest branches of Athena to netting to avoid any potential burns on these beautiful baby colas. It's the end of the week! Thank you all again for such a great support, all the likes, dm's, comments and follows 💚💜💚💜 Stay tuned for coming week update 😁✌️💚

*Increased ppm from 950 to 1050. *The white widows is forming some frost but the most noticeable trait it’s flowering along the stem pretty well.

✋Wk 8: Time slows down, as buds build and plants are thirsty. 👉One of the best part about growing cannabis, and actually fun plants of any variety, is that the anticipation of the final results seemingly makes time slow down. When I hit 40 it was like I had hit the top of the hill and everyday since then has seemed like it was getting shorter and time was going by much more quickly. I started growing herbs and peppers on the patio a few years ago the race towards the inevitable has seemed to mellow out. A year ago I started growing LEGAL cannabis! I had dreamed of this since I was in college. The risk was too great to get busted for growing even a small plant. Seeing the plants grow a little each day is amazing. Seeing the progress of just one month is amazing. The days seem to take longer as a pleasant side effect of my impatience for the finished product. I have grown lots of different plants, and cannabis is definitely the most magical to watch grow. 👉The 1 gallon is starting to build out its buds. The shape of the plant is amazing, all the secondary branches are almost the same height! The branches are very stout and have grown straight up. I have supports installed and may start by just making a simple hoop around the plant with some soft garden wire to keep them from spreading out. The frost is starting to form on the one gallon buds as well. The frost is extending out onto the leaves. I haven't removed any leaves or larf sites in a couple weeks. The leaves went from big and fat fans to smaller skinny fingers much like you'd expect from a Sativa dominant strain, yet this is an Indica dominant strain. Its making for much better light penetration so minimal larf and fatter colas perhaps. When fertigating it takes a few minutes to be able to get all the sulution to the plant. This is from the density of the roots. Its been soaking up the water and nutrients very well. Towards the end of the week I was getting less run-off and the run-off EC was climbing. I will probably do a good low EC fertigation next week. 👉The 3 gallon is a dense bush. I haven't taken any of the secondary branches. I have taken some interior shaded small branches from the big branches. I have also taken some of the interior leaves that were totally shaded. Ive have also removed almost all the large early growth leaves as they got more in the way of air circulation and access to the media for watering and observation. The main cola is barely indetifiable as the main cola so far. The symetry of the plant is very nice and I hope it stays this way. Its also behind the 1 gallon plant and will finish 2-3 weeks after it. I am guessing 6 more weeks max. Even if its not ready I will have to harvest it 6 weeks form now because I have to go out of town for business for a week. I will take it as far as it can go. The plant is drinking alot and I am giving it as much as 5 liters a day. The run-off has also gone down and as a result the run-off EC has been creeping upwards as well. The coming week I will be giving it a goof low EC fertigation and increase the volume of inflow. My target for inflow EC is mid range on the General Hydroponics Flora Series Drain to waste nutrient schedule. 👉 I have included pix of my fertigation log. The log show tents conditions, inflow stats and run-off stats. Both plants are soaking up the fluids. Both plants are getting the full line of the General Hydroponics Flora series nutrients/supplements and mixed full strength in RO water from an industrial RO water machine. This week I increased the amount of Cali-magic about 25%. There are some purple stems around and want to keep it from becoming a leaf issue if its form a slight lack of Ca/Mg. Next week I will continue the higher level of Calmag and also will do at least one low EC fertigation. When I do a low EC fertigation I only have Armor Si and Calimagic in the solution. I will follow the low EC event with a small dose of regular nutrient solution. 👉I am sure that the way I am doing this diary is probably pointless in terms of interest to others. I am doing it in the spirit of a true diary and for my own personal use as a record. I am trying to make it understandable and comprehensive for others. I'm sure that is folly in the long run but I do enjoy being able to review my work in a comprehensive way.

Love every plant each one is growing differently stacking different even the visual difference of one strain growin two different ways combined smells of diesel, pez candy and lemons

She's looking SO Frosty! Really love these genetics. Very very nice.

Yo la fam attention les yeux 🔥🔥🔥🌱🔥

🚀 Week 8 Overall | Flower Week 3: Taming the Beast! 🌿 What’s up growmies! Hopefully you are enjoying your Christmas time 🎅 Today is December 29th, marking the first day of Week 8 overall and the start of Week 3 of Flowering. The stretch has been absolutely relentless! Even after my last adjustments, the girls were still pushing too close to the light. Today, I had to do some final low-stress training (LST) and bending just to maintain at least a 20cm gap between the tops and the LED panel. I’ve got my fingers crossed that this is the final week of the stretch—I’m officially out of vertical space! Recap of the recent "Rescue Mission": • Heavy Lollipopping: I’ve cleared out the entire bottom section (the "skirt") to maximize airflow and focus energy where it matters. • Canopy Management: Raised the AC Infinity net and thinned out the jungle. It was a massive defoliation, but necessary for the plants to breathe. • Organic Strategy: I’m still seeing those yellow tips from my initial soil mix mistake, so I’ve started adding Organic Silica to help the plants handle the light stress and strengthen their structure. The plants are looking much more manageable now, even with the minor nutrient burn. Now it's time to stop the vertical growth and start stacking those flowers! 🌸❄️ How's your end-of-year grow looking? Any advice for the Week 3 "stretch-ender"? One Love & Happy New Year, growers! 🇯🇲💚 UPDATES- 31.12.25 I took another short video before leaving for for few days for New Year’s Eve 3.1.26 Sheesh, I came back home from New Year’s Eve holidays to these overgrown ladies. I thought the stretch was already over, but they still have so much power. Sadly, I don’t have enough space for them, so super cropping and more bending were necessary to avoid further light burn! In a hurry, like a newbie idiot, I snapped one whole future cola. Lessons for me : never rush to your plants, while watching them nonstop even if im not in the lab. 4.1.26 There is no way! They grew right past my LST, and only the ones I supercropped are at a safe distance now. The others are back in the danger zone again, holy moly. Some of them get even light burned :( I supercropped the rest of the plant today and went to the nigh shift of my main job. Tomorrow I'll post another weekly update where we will look st it closely.

MAY 17th I'll water the 10th planet again tomorrow. Things are going amazing! I topped one of the blueberry cheeses and fimmed another. I'm not seeing any stress. If they seem good I'll hst some of the others. This doing ONE thing at a time helps figure out problems. It's 75 right now but it was 39 this morning. UPDATE: IT STARTED FUCKING SNOWING TODAY. Forecast looks good and others are putting plants out. I'll hold off. They'll go to the garage soon for hardening off. Looking at other diaries I had much bigger "clones" but they always come full of problems (see last year). These plants are the healthiest ivecever grown. I'd rather have a healthy plant half the size than a clone with a bunch of issues. Tomorrow I'm planning to wash my stakes and grow bags. I'll get the palletts in position and move my cage. I also am considering either putting a small pvc cover on my cage or finding a way to attack something to the trellis system for heavy rains. If anybody has ideas I'm all ears. 5/18 DIDN'T WATER TODAY. Soil was dry but the pots were heavy. I could feel some moisture through the drain holes. I think it would've been alright either way but I'm erring on the side of caution. I'll check again later in the day. I topped one and fimmed anotger of the blueberry cheese. The purple punch is quickly catching g up to her sisters. I HAD to add a small ring around one of the purple pounce plants as it was WAAAAY lighter than the others. It's possible it could've gotten less water than the others last time due to its positioning. I'm also considering adding silica next feeding. So much left to do before they go outside. Oh and it was fucking snowing here yesterday! May 17 and it was snowing middle of the day. Morning temp wad 31 this morning so I'm staying cautious and making sure I have all my ducks I'm a row before I go outside. I'm also weighing options to either add a pvc hoop on top of my cage or look into protecting plants individually come late fall with our horrible weather. I'm leaning towards the pvc top. I think that would greatly help things. UPDATE: Went back over at four and everything's looked great. Leaves praying to the sun. Topsoil is dry as fuck but I can still feel a little bit of moisture through the drain holes plus they have a little heft left to them. I plan on watering tomorrow and see how that goes. I wanted to add silica but I'm afraid of changing to much or raising the ph of the soil. 5/19 Found out that my scale will actually weigh the three gallon pots! I don't have an empty one to fill with dry soil to compare though. WATERED everything today. Topsoil was totally dry. Some plants had some heft to them. However I last watered on the 15th so I decided to cut back on the amount of water and see how that goes. Instead of the full 28oz powerade bottle I gave them a little over half. I tried for approx 16fl Oz per plant. Everything is looking great. Other than the little runt. I don't know whatcthecdeal is with that one bit it may get given away or culled. I also FIMed a purple punch. UPDATE: Went back over around 11 and boy weren't the plants looking good. I'm moving my cage and sanitizing my pallets tomorrow. I sanitized my grow bags. I vleaned them with the baking soda and water and a scrub brush but since I had that problem with fusarium last year I then soaked them in a h2o2 solution for 20 mins before rinsing them off and letting them dry. I am so stoked for this season. Wondering about the pvc top and whether it's necessary 🤔. I have TONS of heavy equipment (well dad does) but the smallest thing we have is a backhoe and a bulldozer neither which I'm to inclined to use to move big plants. I thought that since the door to that garage is large enough to drive a front end loader in than if I could find a way to make my pallets mobile I could bring them in if storms are coming. I worry to much. I also got rid of anything that could gave spires on it. Ilk need to wash my plastic trellis netting and the bamboo as well but better safe than sorry. 5/20 Plants are still growing like weeds and are the ones I HST are recovering nicely. Soon they'll go out to the garage and spend their days outside in the sunshine and their nights inside the garage while I harden them off. Having trouble uploading stuff right now. 5/21 Topped two blueberry cheese and one purple punch. Plants are still doing great. We are getting close to go8ng outside in tye forever homes in smart pots ranging from 10gal to 50 gals. I still need to sanitize the pallets but this week I plan on hardening these girls off fully. 5/22 I weighed a couple of the plants and they were different. I think I got a couple 7lbs one that was 6 something and a heavier one that was 8. Looks like I've found the right amount. I plan to water tomorrow. They'll be moved in the next couple days to the garage and I'll let them fill the 3's before they go in their final homes. Plants are recovering from HST great. Still getting cold nights here. Honestly if I didn't have a major life event happen they'd be outside hardening off now 5/23 Watered everything with approximately 18oz of water. I am either going to move plants outside today to indirect sun (even though they've handled full sunlight from an open window) in the garage and keep the light going for a little longer. They need to fill their pots before they go in their forever homes. I've got some work to do but it will pay off. EDIT: Cage has been moved to its new home. A huge pallet takes up most of it but I have littler ones that will fit in. I just haven't had a chance to disinfect these. I'm probably going overboard but I'm not fucking around with that fusarium or other any pathogens this year. I'm going to use the systemic organocide once I go outside. It's going to rain tomorrow amd might be cold but I still move the plants to the garage in the morning.

Next defoliation at fourth week of flower. Watering with BioEnhancer 1g/l And compost Tea .

Auto Flower AK Triple Haze by Super Sativa Seed Club: Day 28 from Seed, 2 days Flower. Starting to show Pistils on day 26. Very fast flowering plant as all 5 did so on the same day. All are green, healthy & growing. A-AK3H #3 though still not growing well in comparison to others. Also, the comparison of Fertilized Coco vs amended living soil is a huge difference. Coco plants are double the size of soil plants. Weekly Environment: 76F, 57% RH, 975ppm CO2, & 650-850PPFD 18hr Lighting. A-AK3H #1,2,3 received a light 6.3ph watering once this week & a Tea of coffee grounds, banana peel, Sohum soil, & Dose of Cal/Mag. A-AK3H #4,5 received Hydroponic Grow/Micro/Bloom Line of fertilizers every second day with 1/8-1/4 Liter of 6.3ph water. Dependent on pot weight.

Greetings Rastamans, as you can see my girl is getting thicker and is growing weekly. Every used fertilizers have very good results. Slowly aproaching the time of harvesting, This is evidenced by the trichomes as well as the timing of the flowering cycle. I believe that the harvest from this plant will be great. Use of the necessarry techniques at the right period of times gave me the results that you see yourselves. It is the last day of lighting. It will be in dark for 36hrs. Also today defoliation will take its place and I have already splited main stalk. hope you get enjoyment and also knowledge from my diaries. Wish you all good luck. Yours trully Rastagrow

Now she puts the weight on

I feed up to 1300 now , try to mix properly at least and water 2-3 times a day. But handwatering half of them became hard. What do you think , I’m good to transplant ? I see the root from some pots already.

Flower Week 1 Day 7 to 13 - 3/25 to 3/31 Simply watching the stretch from this point. Both plants recovered very nicely from Schwazze extreme defoliation and all of the colas/branches are mostly even at top. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 650ppm total before add-ins. I used 325ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 325ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also reduce in Veg mix. Feed will be 700ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding.

Hey Freunde heute ein kleines Update, mittlerweile ist Blütetag 24 der stretch war wohl noch nicht ganz zu Ende und besonders die Papaya und die Pink Chai haben nochmal nen richtigen Schub gemacht. Heute hab ich mal doppelt soviel Wasser gegossen, da die unteren Blätter schon leicht vertrocknet waren und die Töpfe immer sehr leicht. Die Pink Chai bekommt minimal gelbe spitzen, aber is glaub zu vernachlässigen, verdacht war zuviel Licht. Sie hat danach auf jedenfall auf gehört die Blätter zum Licht zu strecken, also erstmal keine praying leaves mehr, heute Abstand verringert und sie Betet wieder. Freu mich über jede Rückmeldung und wünsch euch n schönes Wochenende! ✌️💚
