I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

GENERAL COMMENT. This week ran nicely for the two girls, of course one is going slower than the other. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO The spotting got this girl hard, lock lock lock and stunt. She is packing the buds slowly, very slowly, patience is a key element with her now. But the good thing is that she is moving forward. I don’t expect top shelf or a huge harvest for her unfortunately. I couldn’t ID the early spotting reason, and the late spotting i attributed to salt buildup and acidic medium, but the correction was a real pain.

She is budding! Smells citrusy.

Indica vs. Sativa

I found it being a funny meme explaining the difference

🌸 Eternity Grow Cup — Week 16 (Flower Week 5) 🌸 What a week it has been in the garden! The bounce back from last week’s defoliation has been nothing short of spectacular. The girls took it like true champions — vibrant, strong, and absolutely loving their environment. Episode 19 on YouTube will shows it best in 4K: a garden covered in frost, energy, and pure beauty from every angle. From top canopy to undergrowth, everything is stacking up, sparkling, and showing off. 🌱 Feeding & Nutrients Update: This week’s reservoir was all about precision and balance. We made a powerful blend designed to meet their blooming needs with care and control. Here’s the nutrient mix: • Breaking Powder: 24g per 50L • All-In-One Liquid • Regulator • System Clean (because clean roots are happy roots) • Green Sensation for that extra bloom push We started with: • EC: 0.04 • pH: 5.94 • Temp: 19.5°C And after everything blended beautifully: • EC: 2.33 • pH: 6.2 • Temp: 20.7°C Perfectly balanced. The girls responded immediately — color, posture, and trichome production have all visibly improved. CO₂ — Controlled and Conscious: Our TrolMaster MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor is a silent hero in the tent. With real-time readouts, we’re always in tune with the environment, keeping CO₂ dialed in just right to boost growth without overdoing it. This sensor has given me the confidence to tweak and learn, keeping everything optimized for life. 🔆 Lighting & Spectrum Tuning: Sharing is caring — not just in smoke (😉) but in photons too. And this grow is a masterclass in light distribution: • Model 1s above are delivering that precision-tuned spectrum. • We’re currently using more deep red and far red, lowering the white and boosting UV — perfect for this flowering stage. • Below, the ICL 300s are creating magic. They’re lighting up the underside and giving those lower buds the love they deserve. Bottom to top — the light is reaching, and it’s showing. Photos this week include each of the four spectrum channels on display — white, far red, deep red, and UV — because this garden is more than just growth… it’s a symphony of light and life. 💨 Airflow, Structure, and Style: Let’s not forget airflow — our system is dialed. Between extraction, the AeroFan, and vortex placements, everything circulates like a dream, supporting this insane terpene profile and trichome party. We are dancing in the rhythms of harmony and structure. 🌟 Final Notes: Each of the Runtz phenos #1–5 is a queen in her own right. They’re developing character, expressing personality, and it’s such a joy to witness it unfold. This week is proof of what happens when care, science, and love combine. Thank you to all the growers out there following this journey. Your support means everything.

On Day 39 i mixed 4.5l with some melasse 2 drips of supervite and 5ml of calmag and an oh of 6.2. I also topped them. I also notized some nutrient burnibgs beacause of the livibg soil and some Magnesium deeficensy. On Day 41 i mixed 4.5l with 6ml of calmag 6ml of alfa boost 40ml of Lab and sone supervite as well as some melasse.

Taking forever for an auto but she's a beast.

Well, after majorly fucking up the princesses (but hoping one still survived) next in line are 2 North Thunderfuck. I named them Ei and Makoto (iykyk ^^) D1: this time we go the direct-to-pot route. Fuck plugs, fuck everything, we are raising two little fuckers! Hopefully with a better start this time... I swear Ill be patient.... I swear XD Like planned they will spend some time in the kiddie tent with their new light, and then take it over to the grown up tent once there is room over there. Lets go! D3: zzzzz ^^ D4: We have 2 healthy babies! Needed to help Makoto a little shed to her skin (veeeeery carefully with a toothpick). Welcome, girls! Can't wait to see your journey! They will be accompanied by a timelapse video, hope this time it looks better and is without stripes XD

ScrOGed this girl in the big flowering tent. Lots of stretch and good development this week. Budsites dknt appear too far between each site. Super excited about this monster cropped plant... thinking she’ll be my biggest yielding Purple Trainwreck plant to date. Crossed this girl with an unknown bag seed. He can either be another pt plant with perhaps a different pheno or a white widow plant based on the seeds I had available as a possibility. Pollinated and marked a branch on this girl, unsure of the strain on the male but whatever he is he’s a hybrid. He appeared indica as a seedling and throughout veg but the sativa look dominated him in flower. Dark green and healthy, I’m excited to see what kind of crosses I can make. Pollinated branches are marked with a green plant tie.

Jelly cak3 I can’t wait. She smells dank and look great. I can’t wait. Jelly cak3 smells more like fruity cak3. I smell grape I smell berries I smell cherries I can’t wait jelly cak3

They smell great. Not a hard grow, but not stabilized genetics. 4 different phenos all with differing flowering times. Make it tough when you use your grow tent as a dry tent to contain smell. Had to buy another tent just to dry the ones that were finished instead of risking them herming. 5.8 oz dried and trimmed bud. Didn't weigh larf/trimmings but will be dry sifting it for the press.

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.

Having just started a Sweet seeds + speed Auto, Red poison auto from sweet seeds was next on my list to be grown with Jack 47 in my arsenal after that. I'm already growing some sensible seeds strains so I didn't want to dip into them. I considered buying a seed for the 'one girl one cup challenge' aka Solo cup competition but knew I'd send myself crazy deciding which I should use. I had half decided I wanted to go Indica dominant as an entry for their shorter size anyway so...... after looking at images online of the Red Poison, I thought it would actually be a good choice. "....So a 16oz cup is a what now?" pint - no litre- no half pint - no 500ml - nope 473ml - yes, ah ha! 473ml = Nothing, the size doesn't exist in the UK. online I can get 10 delivers fow a few quid. I'm not paying that, I'll find something..... Closest ( It's near perfect to be honest) I found was an, ahem... recent... 30 and fab cup. I've videoed it's contents as proof I'm thinking as Indica she's gonna drink a lot (compared to sativas in my opinion) but I also have no drainage. Even though I think she may be a big drinker, I'm not worried about her drying out so much, she'll quickly bounce back from a drying out with a drink. I'm more worried of Over watering I still need to (at time of writing this) actually make a homemade tent first, buy some (probably 2) cheap bulb fixtures, I've still got some foil blanket left from other tents I've made and I've got some spare house hold LEDs I'll bang something together......

Hey y'all - this is the exciting one for me, this year - I'm submitting the buds from these plants to the 4Plants Cannabis Cup in November, wish me luck! I'm in the amateur medical category, growing one of my favourite strains, it's exciting! Hope you enjoy the video, I'm just a doofy guy growing some dope, hoping it's, um, dope! Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions or comments 🙏

First day with nutrients since Monday i wasn't feeling great on feeding this week.😕 😪 exhausted is the better word im pumping the lady up real nice next feed I will give a little calmag to protect it in the harsh weather no bud development yet hopefully in the next weeks before the harvest date that's frosty

So here's my first Diary. I'm a new grower just trying to find out what works best for me.

Week 14 The buds have fatten up compared to yesterday (day 96). The terpenes smell nice fruity and sweet.
