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.

Buds should be dried in the dark at 21 degrees, 50% humidity

Everything is going really well, very happy with how these ladies are doing, even with the summer heat they are doing really well at high temperatures! 👍🏾🌱💚

TRA 10 GIORNI RACCOGLIERO QUESTO SPLENDORE PER ADESSO HO TOLTO I NUTRIENTI E LASCIATO GIUSTO L'ESSENZIALE CON ENZIMI IN MODO POSSA TEMINARE TUTTO QUELLO CHE RIMANE NEL LORO VASO

Se van a la última semana de vegetación. 🌲🌱 Las estamos recuperando de un estrés debido al exceso de agua en el sustrato, a 🇨🇱 ya llego el invierno y está costando más secar la tierra para volver a regar 🍂🏔️🏔️🏔️🌧️

The plants are thriving in their 4th week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with their progress! 🌟 Adjusting the nutrient mix for the coco substrate has really paid off, and both plants are responding beautifully. The trichome production is impressive on both, but interestingly, the plant without LST is slightly ahead in development compared to the LST variant. 🌿💨 The buds are forming nicely, and there’s already a noticeable aroma in the grow space. It’s predominantly sweet, with hints of something deeper starting to come through. 🍭✨ So far, everything is looking on track, and I can’t wait to see how they progress in the coming weeks!💚💚💚

Hello, growers! 3) I changed the solution at the middle of the week 4) Decided to FIM this grow and see, where it goes. And it was very hard to do it,since new level didn't formed yet, but i didn't want to wait longer 7)By the end of week leaves showed nutrient, will fix. I suggest P

15/11/2024 Lights On! Play the VT! "The Future is drinking a little less at 8L/24h" "BG41 is Drinking a little more at 7L/24h" Dimmed: 530watts to mature! Will gradually increase over the next week week! "My Mike Tyson predictions are written in my last diary that he will die 3weeks after the fight!" 16/11/2024 Lights Off! New plant feed arrived: HydroSol, HydroPK, TomatoGo - Liquid Feed Water Soluble balanced fertiliser. Zero residues from salts. This should work perfectly for me. I'll use it next grow. 20/11/2024 Defolled some dying leaves 🍃

ALL OF THOSE PLANTS WERE GROWN ON A BALCONY WITH ONLY SUNLIGHT AND LOVE 2 OF THEM ARE STILL FINISHING FLOWERING STAGE000

Today’s date is June 11th, it has been 6 days since my last update. So far the Dolomite lime seemed to have helped with the yellowing of my fan leaves and the only “yellow” ones left look like they have a fade to them but I’m not sure if it’s due to proximity of the harvest or from the magnesium deficiency I had earlier. Either way I have to be more on top of my nutrients and my macros too. They chunked up a decent size and the branches are even toppling over from their density! Trellis was definitely needed for this one. Nothing special but watering when needed, temps have been as high as 84 and as low as 67, I’m really trying to master the environment but due to my location it’s getting harder to do so without hoping I don’t blow a fuse with all my equipment running, haha. Overall I’m happy so far and hopefully next run I’ll dial in more perfectly, if you have any tips for me please share!

Some more photos. ✌️

ph problem this week nothing too bad it wil finish in 2 weeks

Day 65, 14th of November 2020: Amazing week.... RQS Wedding Gelato does not strech a lot and pistils coming out nicely.... Original Sensible Seeds has amazing gentics they are so strechy except Black Ghost OG, rest of them crazyyyyyyy..... I also broke two of the sides from Gelato Original Sensible Seeds but fixed with tape and now all good lol 🤣🤣🤣 Pre flowers out and I really hope they stop growing lol. I also noticed that the Original Sensible Seeds strains have nice purple colours of the fan leave's stem. All the same fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix above and ratio. One more thing: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

Dutch Passions Shaman Meine Shamaninnnen blühen nun beide und es macht mir einen Riesen Spaß ihnen beim Wachsen zuzuschauen. Bei No. 2 habe ich Vergilbungen festgestellt, ich vermute es liegt an dem zweistündigen Tauchbad nach der Sieben-Tages-Dürre im Topf. Ich hatte sie etwas vergessen, der Schwarzkohlekompost war patschnass. Die regelmäßigeren Trockenphasen, regelmäßigere Wasserversorgung und die Brennessel- und Beinwelljauche, die ich den beiden Anfang letzter Woche gab, sollten aber schon bald Wirkung zeigen. Ebenso das Bittersalz als Magnesium- und Schwefelquelle. Der Topf ist mit 17 Litern einfach viel zu klein für die wüchsige Shamanin. No. 1, die in dem 30 Liter Topf lebt fühlt sich sehr wohl, keine Anzeichen von Stress oder Mangelerscheinungen. Die Bewässerung läuft nicht optimal aber ich versuche nun regelmäßiger nach den beiden zu schauen. Ende der Woche habe ich beiden Damen, vor allem Shamanin No. 1, einige untere Fächerblätter genommen und eine kräftige Entlaubung im Inneren der Pflanzen vorgenommen. Beide bekommen wieder ausreichend Licht, Luft und Liebe. 24 Stunden später sehen sie sichtlich erfrischt und glücklich aus. Der Mulch auf den Töpfen wird unter Hochdruck vom Bodenleben zersetzt, und die Shamaninnen haben schon längst mitbekommen, dass es da oben was leckeres zu naschen gibt. Sie Wurzeln bis in das Laub der Wildkräuter. Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. Bis nächste Woche.

This is the best one I’ve done to date and excited to see what she finishes like .

Day 49. Starting to frost up on the upper buds.

Monday May 10th: Didn't wake the plants up this morning with the light! Time for 36 hours of darkness and then harvest tomorrow morning😊
