Hello Growmies, Welcome to week 17 of flowering for the Epic Buzz. She's in the twilight of her bloom, draped in deep purples that edge into a near black elegance, standing as a testament to her vigor. The shift to an RO water-only approach has accentuated her natural fading, underscoring the decision to let nature's course run unimpeded. Every branch now requires support; her bountiful colas are a burden of her own success, heavily frosted and radiating a potent aroma that fills the space, betraying her maturity. Her scent is as intoxicating as it is undeniable, speaking to the culmination of weeks of careful tending and anticipation. A single flower has been reserved for revegging, holding the promise of continuity for this desirable pheno. Her sisters, thriving in a controlled setting, display the same vivacious start, suggesting a robust genetic line. As this grow diary nears its last entry, it's more than a log of growth—it's a narrative of persistence, skill, and the profound bond between grower and plant. The Epic Buzz has been more than a grow; it's been a journey we’ve taken together. Stay lifted, salokin

🌱 Eternity Grow Cup: Week 2 Veg Report – Building the Foundation 🌟 First, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Grow Diaries, this amazing community, and all the sponsors making this journey so special: Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix Soil, TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LED, Future of Grow LED, and CannaKan. And a special shoutout to Zamnesia and Plagron for their incredible support with seeds and nutrients for this run. This wouldn’t be possible without all of you—thank you for inspiring us to put our best into this grow! 💚 Growth Update: Small but Mighty As Week 2 wraps up, the Zamnesia Runtz are still small, but they’re growing beautifully. • Leaf Development: • The first true leaves are now fully visible, and the second pair is starting to emerge on the horizon. Seeing those signs of life and progress fills me with hope and excitement. • Nutrient Introduction: • This week marked the beginning of feeding, laying the foundation for strong, vigorous growth in the weeks ahead. Current Setup • Environment: • Temps are holding at 20°C, with RH at 60%—a comfortable range for young plants. • The heat mat under the pots is maintaining an optimal root-zone temperature, keeping them cozy despite cooler room conditions. • Location: • Still growing alongside their sisters in the 4x8 tent but will soon transition into the full TrolMaster ecosystem, where precision and control will take things to the next level. Nutrient Spotlight: Starting Strong with Aptus Holland I’ve chosen to introduce the Aptus Holland lineup this week. These nutrients are carefully formulated to support plants through every stage of their growth cycle, and here’s what I’m using: 1. Aptus Regulator (0.15ml/L) • What it is: A silicon-based additive that helps plants regulate stress and environmental challenges. • Benefits: • Strengthens cell walls, leading to thicker stems and stronger leaves. • Increases stress tolerance, particularly against heat, cold, and light fluctuations. • Improves nutrient uptake, ensuring plants get the most out of their feedings. • Why now: At this early stage, Regulator gives the plants a strong foundation to handle the cooler temps and build resilience as they grow. 2. RO Water Conditioner (0.8ml/L) • What it is: A product designed to optimize Reverse Osmosis (RO) water, making it suitable for plant feeding. • Benefits: • Balances pH and stabilizes water for nutrient absorption. • Adds essential elements back into the water, ensuring a balanced feed. • Why now: Using conditioned RO water prevents imbalances and provides a clean, consistent base for all feedings. 3. All-in-One Liquid (1.25ml/L) • What it is: A complete macronutrient blend designed for vegging plants. • Benefits: • Provides all essential nutrients (N-P-K) in a balanced ratio. • Easy to use and highly effective, supporting strong vegetative growth. • Why now: As the plants develop their first leaves and roots, All-in-One Liquid ensures they have the building blocks needed to thrive. Educational Focus: Why Start Nutrients in Week 2? 1. Natural Reserves: • During the first week, seeds rely on their own nutrient stores within the seed casing. Introducing nutrients too early can overwhelm or damage delicate roots. 2. Signs of Readiness: • By Week 2, the emergence of true leaves signals that the plants are ready to transition from relying on reserves to taking in nutrients from the medium. 3. Balanced Start: • Starting with low doses ensures the plants can adjust gradually, reducing the risk of nutrient burn or stress. Week 2 Insights: Setting the Stage for Success 1. Managing Environment Challenges: • Lower temps can slow growth, but maintaining a warm root zone with a heat mat has been key to keeping these seedlings healthy and happy. 2. Patience in Veg: • Early veg may feel slow, but this phase is all about establishing strong roots and foundational growth. Remember, every strong plant starts with a strong start. 3. Why Pro-Mix Soil: • This medium provides excellent aeration and drainage, supporting rapid root growth. The added Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae further enhance plant resilience and nutrient uptake. What’s Next? As we move into Week 3, I’m excited to see these beauties continue their journey. The next steps include: • Monitoring the development of new leaves and early structural growth. • Transitioning to the TrolMaster ecosystem, where environmental precision will allow the Runtz to truly shine. • Documenting every moment through photos and videos to share the magic with this amazing community. Community Love & Thanks Thank you to everyone following along and supporting this grow. To all the participants in the Eternity Grow Cup: best of luck—let’s make this one for the history books! Stay tuned for Week 3, where we’ll dive even deeper into the evolution of these incredible plants. Until then, keep growing, keep believing, and let’s create something legendary together! 💚✨ Genetics - Runtz https://www.zamnesia.com/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html Nutrients - Plagron https://plagron.com/en/hobby - Aptus Holland https://aptus-holland.com/ Controls - Trol MAster https://www.trolmaster.eu/ LED - https://www.futureofgrow.com/en LED - https://www.thinkgrowled.com Soil - https://www.promixgardening.com/en Germination - Cannakan https://cannakan.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopXr-inLXajXu3QFgKXCXXos4F1oEvScjMKIB5MR5dk8-GJ-F49 DOGDOCTOR 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciloved and i fell honored with you all in my life With true love comes happiness Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant.

so without waiting for anything, I harvested on day 63 :) although the girl suffered for a long time from overfertilized soil, which did not allow her to grow properly, she died from excess food, but we learn from mistakes :) but despite all this, the flowers ripened just perfectly, they are quite firm and full of trichomes :) and the smell is such that it is impossible to describe in words, amazing!!!!!! good luck to everyone :)

She is filling out nicely

Hi guys! here is how my beautiful girls proceed! they had a nitrogen boost in the first few weeks of flowering, but are now stable, feeding well and having a beautiful streccing (x2 / x3). The pre-flower seems to be forming well and on day 22 from the change to 12/12 the first trichomes appeared! I'm curious about how it will go and very excited 💪🏻 good 4:20 and good cokttivation everyone !!

Bonjour a tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis Pour cette semaine 4 je surveille comme à mon habitude hygrométrie et arrosage. Je peaufine mon LST en stressant ma plante le moins possible. Je combine mon LST avec un pincage d'Apex cela me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Petit rappel sur le pincage d'Apex: Le pinçage des plantes de cannabis Proche de la taille d’apex sur le principe, cette technique possède cependant plusieurs avantages, le principal étant de conserver le gros bud central de la plante, d’une production et qualité maximale. Pinçage des plantes de cannabis Le pinçage d’apex (tête de la plante) consiste simplement à pincer délicatement la tige du dernier étage de la plante, entre le pouce et l’index, jusqu’à sentir la fibre s’écraser sous les doigts avec un petit bruit critch caractéristique. Si l’espace disponible sur la tige du dernier étage ne permet pas d’y placer confortablement ses doigts, il faudra plutôt pincer l’étage du dessous. Le pinçage ralentira fortement la croissance verticale de la plante, tout en stimulant le développement des branches secondaires, donnant ainsi à la plante une forme de buisson. La plante mettra quelques jours à réparer ce pinçage, formant un nœud à cet endroit, et poursuivra ensuite sa croissance de façon normale. Le pinçage peut alors être répété si nécessaire, sur l’étage suivant nouvellement formé, ainsi que sur les éventuelles branches secondaires qui pourraient dépasser l’apex. Le pinçage est donc une excellente technique pour avoir une belle canopée uniforme de type marée verte. En pinçant régulièrement l’apex des plus grandes plantes de votre espace, durant la croissance et en début de floraison (stretch), vous obtiendrez ainsi facilement des plantes de hauteur homogène en pleine floraison, ce qui facilitera la culture et augmentera la production finale, surtout si vous cultivez simultanément de multiples variétés de marijuana. Avec un peu d’habitude le pinçage pourra être réalisé aussi rapidement qu’efficacement. En cas de pinçage trop violent qui se traduirait par un apex arraché, cela produira simplement les mêmes résultats qu’une taille classique de l’apex, ce qui ne sera donc pas dramatique. Que la force soit avec vous💪

2/15 - Plants are all looking awesome. Leaves are starting to fade out a little bit. Buds are bulking up and some orange stigmas are starting to show. Also noticing some slight foxtailing in a few of the colas which I believe to be genetics and not stress related. Thinking one more week of nutrients, then a week of flushing, and then we might be ready for harvest.

This is week 5. My schedule didn’t let me go back and adjust. You’ll see day 33-39 and a new clone (which in hind sight ended up being a male and waste of time)

Der Stretch ist mittlerweile voll im gange und sie zieht sich ordentlich Wasser über die Dochte. Sobald der Stretch durch ist, werde ich ein bißchen entlauben.

Em atualização

UPDATE - Thurs 4th March The week has been fine. I am going there today so you may get an update this evening. Iv been posting on TheWeedTube also so I have much more videos explaining what’s going on. Plants are looking great. I got paid today so I bought an online fan to plug into the thermostat and pull fresh air in through a duct from a cooler part of the flat. In summer it won’t be as useful but to be honest I’ll probably just duct tape the sucky end of the duct to a small ac or Friday type thing, iv not really looked into it yet. Even a hillbilly cooking system would be better than nothing. ( filling a bucket up with ice, water and salt and put the end of the duct into that so it sucks in the cold air). We’ll see! Update - Monday 8th March All is well, I just want the buds to start swelling now. I found some awesome supports in Aldi. They are metal rings that the plant weaves through and has spikes that go into the pot rather than a scrog net being fixed in place. Therefore I can still move them and drain the run off.

Strong genetics for the colors , started immediately, everything going great, cant wait to see how they turn out

7/29 - Week 9 of veg is starting. At this point, it is just let them grow up a few inches, and also fill out the pots some more with roots before transplanting to 5 gallon fabric pots (their final homes). I also plan on mixing a 'flower blend' soil to fill up the 5g pot around the rootball that is transplanted. This recipe for the soil is taken from MaximumYield: Enhanced fruit/flower potting soil recipe This soil recipe is designed for plants that are ready to fruit or flower. In particular, this recipe works great for ornamentals that are already in bloom and for fast-growing annuals that are entering their fruiting or flowering stage. Parenthesis indicate small changes or products I'm using. 1/2 cu. ft. (60 cups) sphagnum peat moss (Promix BX) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) coco coir (Mother Earth Coco Peat) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) compost (either compost or manure) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) perlite 10 cups pumice (likely to just use perlite here) 5 cups worm castings 3 cups bat guano (high phosphorus) 1 cup fish bone meal (using regular bone meal, got Jobe's Bone Meal) 1 cup oyster shell 1/2 cup seabird guano (likely to just add as the high phosporous guano) 1/4 cup alfalfa meal 1/4 cup fish meal (Down to Earth Fish Meal) 2 tbsp. langbeinite (Down to Earth Langeinite) 1 tbsp. glacier rock dust (Azomite ordered from Amazon) 7/30 - While technically the morning of 7/31, lights haven't gone out yet, so it is still the 30th ;) It almost hurts posting pictures today, because they were really thirsty, but I honestly hadn't looked at them for a couple days. Anywho, the plants were watered with ~1.25 liters of water each, about 90 minutes before lights out. Will be interesting to post the 7/31 photos after a couple hours of lights on, and see the difference in appearance. I also mixed the soil for flowering, and it will now have a couple weeks to 'cook' and become ready for the plants. I did make a mistake and accidentally added 1 cup of fish meal instead of 1/4 cup (oops), and the alfalfa meal just smelled too good, so I added 1/2 cup instead of 1/4. Hopefully those 2 'changes' don't add too much nitrogen for flower, but I imagine it won't. I also instead of adding perlite (didn't want to buy a 4 cu ft bag when I needed at most 2.5 gallons (1/3 cu ft), so I opted to add 1 gallon of pumice. Since the coco peat and promix both have perlite in them, I didn't want too much added. There were also some worms from the compost that made it into the tote that is now storing the mix, so life has already started in the soil. 7/31 - It wasn't just after lights on, as I didn't have time to photo earlier, but this is just about 24 hours after watering, and praying/looking good. I had noticed that it looked like the fan had slipped down the pole a bit, and was causing some wind burn/clawing of the leaves yesterday, which probably attributed to poor looks, but looking better today! While I am not that versed in checking preflowers, from what I can tell, if I had to guess, CH#1 could be either (maybe slightly leaning towards female, thought I might have saw a couple hairs), and the #2 actually looked male to me. 8/4 - After getting home from work, and realizing I hadn't checked on the plants in a couple days and I knew they were due for water either yesterday or today, I saw some THIRSTY plants. They each got ~1.2L of water, and also a quick trim back. After checking preflowers again, I am afraid that both Chinook plants may end up male :(

The beginning of flushing
