Quick foreword: I hate how Growdiaries does Harvest and Smoke separately and then messes up all the pictures. Please bear with me, I tried to label them all. Wowsers, what a trip this contest grow turned out to be! I am so sorry to submit it one day before the deadline, life got in the way, but the good news is this lovely plant has had a chance to fully cure and sheโ€™s been helping me through big changes in my life. Dry weights will be in the Smoke report. I have only input the motherโ€™s dry weight as the total end dry weight. This is because this is a competition diary and the rule is one plant. Consider the clones a successful experiment. They are only here to document how hardy this plant is and how easy she is to clone. Remember, one of the clones was the top of the plant I cut off when topping her before flipping. I usually can never get those to root, but this plant clones very easily! As always, the main plant was dried in a cardboard wardrobe box, modified to have a 5v USB fan extracting air at the bottom. This helps prevent mold but keeps moisture in for a slower dry, which leaves some more terpenes. Drying took around two weeks. Trimming was a pain. I love the smell of this plant, but her lowers are so leafy. If you go back to around the weeks where I flipped, you can clearly see I left too many lower nodes and as a result I had too much of a bush. The Micro DWC experiment ended up surprising me the most. Check out the smoke review for its weight and taste! some people also asked me how far I keep my lights, I don't measure the distance, sorry. I use Photone on iOS and push the ppfd of my plants up to 1000 during flower. The Soil clones and the main competition plant were planted in organic soil from a local garden center mixed with organic fertalizer tablets and worm castings, the clones were in 1L and 3 gallon pots and the main competition plant was planted in a 5 gallon growbag. once the plants ran out of food I fed Plagron's Alga line. the DWC clone used just Plagron Hydro A+B and extra PK 13/14 in flower, this is by far the cheapest and most effective way in my experience, it could be due to lack of skill in organics, but you can clearly see, my DWC plant is frostier than my soil ones, and they're the exact same phenotype. I'll probably be going back to hydroponics, I'm not saying organic isn't the way to go, but for me personally, my skillset and way of growing better fits the artificial nutrients, and as a result my DWC plants flourish. I feel more in control with DWC, I know exactly what's going on in my buckets, whereas with organics I'm often scratching my head in frustration.

Buds are looking great, still no signs of bud rot :) I've been trying to keep humidity under control but every time I water, next night will reach 67-68%. I took a couple of measures but would have been simpler to get a dehumidifier good thing is that I left lot of space between colas for airflow (I had bud rot in that area last time). I'm allowing the plants to get dry and humidity to come close to 40% before watering again. This will be the last week of fertilizers any way. Will add some ripen maybe 1 or 2 times during the week and then just plain water.

๐ŸŒพ Harvest Day โ€” The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup ๐ŸŒพ Days 72โ€“73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been โ€” and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because timeโ€ฆ it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place โ€” a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. ๐ŸŒฟ The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12โ€“13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry โ€” not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process โ€” a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones โ€” just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 โ†’ #4 โ†’ #3 โ†’ #2 โ†’ #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them โ€” only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Cure Begins โ€“ Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58โ€“61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. Weโ€™re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process โ€” the cure โ€” is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. โ˜€๏ธ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem โ€” everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive โ€” a growerโ€™s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. โš–๏ธ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent โ€” thatโ€™s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends โ€” we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or โ€œquality control testingโ€ along the way. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. ๐ŸŒฟ The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, thereโ€™s a part we donโ€™t always see โ€” a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup โ€” a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation โ€” light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, theyโ€™re hanging and drying โ€” and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value โ€” both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they donโ€™t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: โ€ข Friedelin โ€“ known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects โ€ข Pentacyclic triterpenoids โ€“ believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions โ€ข Alkaloids โ€“ some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties โ€ข High levels of fiber and tannins โ€“ excellent for digestive and skin applications ๐Ÿต Root Medicine โ€” Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: ๐ŸŒฟ Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying โ€ข 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots โ€ข 3 cups of filtered water โ€ข Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20โ€“30 minutes โ€ข Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste โ€ข Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation ๐Ÿฒ Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing โ€ข Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth โ€ข Simmer for 2+ hours โ€ข Strain before serving โ€ข This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin โ€ข Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2โ€“3 hours) โ€ข Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm โ€ข Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus โ€ข Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas ๐Ÿ› Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief โ€ข Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth โ€ข Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering โ€ข Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension โธป The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle โ€” nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX โ€” this wouldnโ€™t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. ๐ŸŒฑ The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it โ€” giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. Itโ€™s not just dirt โ€” itโ€™s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. Itโ€™s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ’ ๐ŸŒพ The Benefits of Reusing Soil: โ€ข Sustainability โ€” less waste, less environmental impact โ€ข Cost-effective โ€” no need to constantly buy fresh medium โ€ข Soil memory โ€” rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure โ€ข Nutrient potential โ€” amended soil still holds value for many plants โ€ข A deeper connection โ€” a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, weโ€™re not just being resourceful โ€” weโ€™re believing in tomorrow. Weโ€™re trusting that what weโ€™ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe thatโ€™s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฑ Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope โ€” the cycle continues. And itโ€™s beautiful. ๐ŸŽ‰ The Final Touches Fun fact: โ€ข Trimmed on May 25 โ€ข Photo shoot on May 26 โ€ข This report: May 27 โ€ข Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned โ€” the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. โธป ๐Ÿ’š Thank You To Zamnesia โ€” your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

Day 70, 100% cloudy with some ambers. Shame about the main cola fox tailing, and a nightmare grow really. From heat stress, and cal mag deficiency and nute burn pretty much 6 weeks itโ€™s been one thing after the other. But she kept growing, and with continued efforts itโ€™s looking like I have been rewarded. The smell is strong!! The sticky fingers speaks for themselves. Scissors are ruined ๐Ÿ˜‚. Will hang dry now for at least 5 days before another little trim / tidy up prior to jarring / curing.

Expect a combination of sweet & fruity mixed with a gassy, jet-fuel flavour. The amazing mix of citrus, tangerine, pine and gasoline produces uniquely rich, dank buds. The powerful sativa high is strong, uplifting and long lasting, great for creativity and socialising. Chemdawg is the parent of OG Kush, all Diesel strain originate from Chemdawg. The Tangie is originally a Skunk hybrid strain but extremely fruity with the trademark Tangerine flavour. This strain is potent with THC-levels over 20% alongside very generous yields of top quality weed, very suited for hash and rosin producers. If youโ€™re looking for a strain to produce the best tasting concentrates this Sour Tangie Dawg is a proven winner! She easy to grow and the perfect choice for SCROG growing due to her growth speed and stretch. We advise switching to 12/12 light when 75% of the net is filled. For outdoor growers the harvest period is early October. Indoors sheโ€™s finished after 9 weeks of flower - fast for a sativa dominant strain. We recommend growing in soil with organic nutrients for the best tasting weed. Get some fantastic genetics here: https://supersativaseedclub.com/ ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ˜

Gonna let them bulk up a full 10 weeks I think. Just watching them, mostly. Fed them again, but not double dose. Moved the light up to 18", then gradually up to full dosage, Gonna let the weak plant get a little sunburn, but not for the entire grow period. Going to give them a full week on full blast, and then yank the lights a couple inches and back down to 75, to try to match the late stage DLI. Should hopefully save the terps at that point. Set up a 4" blower, now getting ~24.5-25C instead of 27-28.5C. aiming for 40% humidity I think now.
