Week 9 started on May 29, 2022 This week is gonna be the last full veg week. I added the flowering HPS light to the side where the cola was injured, plants love the HPS so I figured why not, I'll ned it during flower. Of course that raised tent temps a full 3-5 degrees, had to change some ventilation parameters, fan speed went up on both in tent, and on the a/c infinity. I also cleaned the screens, and opened another vent at the base. Fans are on. The plant has done very well. Added Foop spray into the mix and so far so good, I see that it has slightly improved the plant in a short period, and it smells pretty good, took it to the garden for more trials. Dudes at AutoPot USA fixed my stuff!! Thanks guys. The fix they troubleshooted worked. My res is below 300 ppm and at 69 degrees F I have Fox Farms Bloom diluted and Bio War Flower crushing the biologicals - after I fixed the leak issue, I figured why not feed her while she gets her finals sea legs for the flower trip ahead. Nothing crazy, I run stuff diluted, especially when I am dialing my light pre flower, I can't risk burning them with heat or nutes. I am a tucking fool, a bending fool, and a foop spraying fool this week, you guys are not gonna believe how many fan leaves this thing put out in seven days, and I took off a significant amount mid week 8, I was a bit worried, oh well, never-mind this is White Widow, she doesn't care, all she wants to do is bust outside in jungle in South America

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

Think I fed too much water but not sure, it’s been a couple days and medium still feels wet. One of the gorilla cookies is looking terrible and the other looks like it’s kinda starting to show some deficiency that I think might be magnesium deficiency but not sure. Anyone got any suggestions to help?

🌸 Grow Diaries – Permanent Marker, Week 2 Flower 🌸 This week is special on many levels. Not only are our Permanent Marker queens thriving in their second week of flower, but it’s also a milestone for the Dognabis Cup: the welcome packs are on their way! So everyone, stay tuned to the postman and the doorbell — good things are coming. ✉️📦 The Cup itself is more than just a grow, it’s a celebration. It’s about sharing knowledge, experiences, and love for the plant. It’s about learning together, lifting each other up, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Sharing is caring, and this Cup is built on that principle. I’m truly honored to be creating this, and I hope all participants enjoy the ride. On the nature side 🌍🐝, I want to pause for a moment to appreciate the bees. They are true lifesavers for our planet, silent workers who ensure our ecosystems flourish. Just like automation in the grow room helps us, bees are nature’s perfect automation for life itself. Speaking of automation 🤖💧, this week we introduced a watering system to see how it supports the garden. We may or may not keep it, but for now, it’s been running, helping maintain consistency while still letting us keep a close eye on the girls. Now, the stars of the show, the Permanent Marker phenos. Both are growing beautifully, very similar in structure, with Pheno #1 stretching just a touch taller. Compact yet strong, stacking beautifully, and already showing promise of what’s to come. Alongside them, the whole room is thriving, and I’ve shared a video to give you all a glimpse of the bigger picture. 🌿 Lighting is another key topic this week: I want to highlight the ThinkGrow ICL 300 inner canopy lights. With their 300° spread, they make sure that even the lower canopy gets love, pushing light deep into the structure. This tech is a game-changer in keeping plants balanced and productive from top to bottom. Nutrition-wise, we keep it simple because the super soil is already alive and working hard. We’re just giving the girls a push with Aptus Holland Regulator and a gentle dose of Top Booster. Nothing more is needed, they are thriving in their living soil environment. 🌸 Summary: • Stage: Week 2 of flower, steady stretch and stacking. • Nutrition: Super soil base + Aptus Holland (Regulator + caMag-Boost + Top Booster). • Automation: Watering system introduced this week. • Lighting: ICL 300 bringing life to the under-canopy. • Dognabis Cup: Welcome packs shipping out 🎉 — sharing is caring. • Inspiration: Remember the bees 🐝 — life’s greatest little allies. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Update week 4 Bloom

How RQS Compares to Your Standouts Brothers Grimm (your "otherworldly" stars: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea) These are landrace-influenced, heirloom-style genetics with exceptional resin, unique flavors, and structure. They outperform RQS in quality, potency, and "wow" factor in your tents. RQS tends to be more commercial/hybridized for ease and yield, while Brothers Grimm prioritizes distinctive traits and consistency in experienced hands. Humboldt Seed Company autos (your top autos for resin, especially OG Triploid) Humboldt focuses on West Coast legacy genetics with heavy resin production. Clearly superior to RQS autos in trichome density and overall quality. RQS autos are faster and easier for beginners but often lack the resin "frost" and depth you get from Humboldt. Fast Buds (fast, flavorful, reliable autos — you like them a lot) Excellent speed and flavor profiles. You noted they're in a "different class" — fair point. Fast Buds emphasizes quick cycles and modern hybrids with nice terps, while RQS autos can feel more generic or require more coaxing. Quick Thoughts on Your Observations Brothers Grimm (Montel Iced Tea, Bubbles Blueberry F4, etc.): These are clearly the stars in your current setup. The strong smell, unique leaf morphology, and overall vigor in small pots show they're expressing well under your conditions. They reward careful growing with quality that feels special — resin, flavor complexity, and effects that fit your low-dose, functional style better than most commercial lines. Your homemade cross (Gelato 44 × Bubbles Blueberry F4 pollen = "Blueberry Knockout"): Nice work on your first intentional cross-pollination! Getting viable seeds and decent plants from a garage-level cross is a real win. It’s not "pretend breeding" — it’s exactly how many great lines started. The fact that it turned out "pretty nice" is encouraging. However, as you noted, combining a Royal Queen Seeds Gelato 44 (solid but commercial) with Brothers Grimm Bubbles Blueberry F4 (higher-quality, more unique genetics) creates a hybrid that can show the best of both, but also some inconsistency. If the RQS side brings easier growth but less depth, while the Brothers Grimm side brings the special traits, the offspring can be hit-or-miss depending on which phenos you kept. RQS Gelato 44 / Mike Tyson 2.0 vs. Brothers Grimm: Your experience matches what many growers report. RQS lines are generally more "user-friendly" and higher-yielding for beginners or volume grows, but they often lack the resin density, terpene complexity, and unique expressions you get from Brothers Grimm. The Tyson 2.0 collaboration added hype, but in your tents it landed at 7/10 while Brothers Grimm hit "otherworldly." That gap in quality is why you're leaning toward sticking with the professional, boutique genetics going forward. 3/30 11:17PM Gelato 44 & Punch Pie were nice right off the tree the little buds put me right to sleep last night!! The Autos are 7-10 but the Photos are 8/10

There is a timelapse of this week, Blueberry is in the background. This entry covers days 30 - 38. This week has seen violent acts. I've topped the blueberry. She's doing well! I've started to give this plant less light so I can give more energy to the flowering GSC auto. I'm not sure how much this will stunt my plant. Lately my feeding schedules for both this plant and my GSC auto are obtained by following the GH Flora Series recirculating feed chart on the General Hydroponics website. I put the amounts they suggest for 1 gallon, but I use 3 gallons of water. So, I give the plants 1/3 of what the feed chart recommends. It's worked well so far. My plants are thriving, and I haven't seen signs of nutrient burn. The only deficiencies I encounter are Cal Mag. I remedy this by mixing in some tap water with my RO water.

Rocko’s Runtz Rumble – Tag 77 🌱👊💚 Blütewoche 4 – Blütetag 28 Blütenentwicklung 🌸 Die vierte Blütewoche ist geschafft und ich bin mit der Entwicklung weiterhin sehr zufrieden. Die Blüten legen ordentlich zu und die Unterschiede zwischen den drei Sorten werden immer deutlicher. Pink Banana Runtz entwickelt sich langsam zum kleinen Schwergewicht. Ihre Blüten sind deutlich dicker und kompakter als bei den beiden anderen. Durch die kurzen Internodien sitzen die Blütenansätze schön dicht beieinander. Melonade Runtz zeigt dagegen eine eher offene, längliche und teilweise etwas strubbelige Blütenstruktur. Sie bleibt außerdem meine empfindlichste Kandidatin. Einige Blattspitzen sind beschädigt und vereinzelt zeigen sich kleinere Nekrosen. Blue Zushi überrascht mich mit einer Blütenstruktur, die Melonade ziemlich ähnlich sieht. Auch hier entwickeln sich längliche, teilweise turmartige Blütenansätze, allerdings etwas kompakter. Dazu kommt eine bereits sehr schöne Harzbildung. Bei allen drei Pflanzen konnte ich diese Woche auffällig aufgerichtete Blätter beobachten. Besonders Blue Zushi zeigte richtig schöne Praying Leaves. Das sehe ich natürlich gerne! 😎 Die endgültigen Pflanzenhöhen liegen bei 115 cm für Melonade, 105 cm für Pinky und 131 cm für Blue Zushi. Letztere steht allerdings im kleineren Topf und damit etwas tiefer als die beiden anderen. Klima und Technik 🌡️ Die Entfeuchtung läuft inzwischen über den HYDRONE 5. Mein Ziel ist ein VPD zwischen 1,4 und 1,6 kPa. Ganz so konstant bekomme ich das noch nicht hin, aber auch mit Werten über 1,1 kPa bin ich schon zufrieden. Die Klimaregelung funktioniert grundsätzlich gut, auch wenn es noch einige Schwankungen gibt. Die zusätzlichen Under-Canopy-Bars laufen ebenfalls weiter. Ob die mittlere Blütenzone davon wirklich profitiert, wird sich in den kommenden Wochen zeigen. Bewässerung und Nährstoffe 💧 Inzwischen sind auch die Dripper installiert und ich bin wirklich zufrieden damit! Die Pflanzen bekommen jetzt regelmäßig ihre Grundversorgung mit Leitungswasser und etwas Mono-Magnesium. Das funktioniert erstaunlich gut und ist eine echte Erleichterung. Vor allem läuft die Bewässerung jetzt viel gleichmäßiger. Beim Gießen von Hand trifft man ja doch nicht jeden Tag exakt die gleiche Menge oder den gleichen Zeitpunkt. Die Pflanzen scheinen die regelmäßige Versorgung jedenfalls zu mögen. 😎 Die zusätzliche Düngung läuft über Handgießungen. Dafür lasse ich bei Bedarf einfach ein Bewässerungsintervall aus und gebe stattdessen eine kleine Portion Nährlösung. Die eigentliche Nährstoffversorgung übernehmen nach wie vor die BioTabs und die vorgedüngte Erde. Viel zusätzlich düngen muss ich also gar nicht. Green Bull gibt’s einfach als kleine Unterstützung, damit die Pflanzen mit Stress durch Licht und Klima besser klarkommen und die vorhandenen Nährstoffe möglichst gut verwerten. Natürlich alles schön sparsam dosiert. Pinky und Blue Zushi haben außerdem schon etwas PK-Blütedünger zur Unterstützung der Blütenentwicklung bekommen. Bei Melonade bin ich wegen ihrer empfindlicheren Reaktion weiterhin etwas vorsichtiger. Schädlingsbekämpfung 🐛 Die Thripse beschäftigen mich leider weiterhin. Deshalb habe ich erneut Amblyseius swirskii und Florfliegenlarven ausgebracht. Die kleinen Helfer sollen den Schädlingsdruck weiter reduzieren. Ich hoffe, dass ich die Sache damit biologisch unter Kontrolle halten kann. Fazit 🌱 Insgesamt bin ich mit der vierten Blütewoche sehr zufrieden. Jede Sorte zeigt inzwischen deutlich ihren eigenen Charakter. Pinky setzt auf dicke, kompakte Blüten, Melonade bleibt etwas wilder und empfindlicher, während Blue Zushi mit kräftigem Wachstum und schöner Harzbildung überzeugt. Besonders spannend finde ich die überraschend ähnliche Blütenstruktur von Melonade und Blue Zushi. Mal sehen, wie unterschiedlich die beiden am Ende tatsächlich werden. Alle drei können jetzt entspannt in die nächste Blütewoche cruisen. Ich lehn mich zurück und genieße die Show. 😎👊 Am Ende zählt nur, welche Runtz am härtesten rumblet! 🌱💚

22.05.2026 Unglaublich, wie viele Trichome auf dieser The White Sweet Candy OG One hausen 😅. Das gibt auf jeden Fall bestes Hash! Ich gehe davon aus, dass sie noch recht lange brauchen wird, allein schon wegen ihrer enormen Größe. Aber diese Trichom-Teppiche im Flokati-Look sind einfach umwerfend und beeindruckend! Vielen Dank, @SuperSativaSeedClub ! Einfach eine ganz tolle Pflanze mit den violettesten Stängeln, die ich je hatte! Happy growing 🌸 💜

12/4/26.day 66 after shedding the shell.harvest day.it's fastest strain from my practice

The plants are now in the bulk phase. It seems to be a very stable strain, as the growth pattern and aroma are almost identical to the previous plant of the same strain. I'm gradually lowering the EC as the leaves on #2 starting to show little burnings. VPD around 1.4–1.6 The light hits the plants with around 900 PPFD.

📆 Semana 4 El estiramiento queda atrás y la planta entra en floración activa. Los botones ya forman pequeños erizos en cada punta, con cálices agrupándose y pistilos en aumento, marcando el inicio del volumen. La estructura sigue equilibrada, bien iluminada y sin estrés, con la energía centrada en construir flores compactas y uniformes. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

The blue gelato 41is not doing so well, but I just made some recent changes. Light has been switched to 20/4 from 12/12 from previous week's due to my last plant finishing up from first grow, from random bag seeds. This week I cleaned my tent lowered the light on the 24th of the month to 21 inches. Purple punch and the gorilla zkittles coming along strong and healthy, however the gelato is still showing some symptoms, maybe over watering perhaps wasn't getting enough light, not sure but I will be transplanting soon so I hope she does better in a bigger pot. I already have the coco ready mixed with worm casting and couple of Gia Green's products, all purpose, Glacial rock dust and oyster shell flour.

Starting out great in the begining of week 3 we had a little accident in week 2 were her pot fell over an she got a little roughed up but she came back nice an strong can deffinetly tell she stalled out for a day or 2 tho other then that she's been growing great seems to be loving this fold 6 led from medic grow Ending week 3 the Tropicana Cookies is doing pretty good now she's not doing as good as the other auto but seeing how we had a little accident with her she's doing pretty good deff loving the cronk nutrients

Week 8 Flower week 2 Flower-day 5 26/10/2025 Finally feeling good again! Kept the same nutrient mix almost the same, have had to use some others just to get by until more rock up 🙃 Floramax Veg 1: 1000ml Floramax Rezin: 400ml Floramax Organabud: 400ml Floramax Flowering Enhancer: 400ml Cyclo Platinum Silica: 200ml ISN Cal-Mag: 400ml (still waiting on my main one to be delivered, so using what’s left of this) Green Planet Massive Bloom: 200ml Green Planet Bud Booster: 4 scoops (30ml each) Sleeps with the Fishez: 100ml — used some hydrogen peroxide today while waiting for the next batch to arrive next week I’ve been looking into a flushing additive called New Millennium Winter Frost for a nice clean finish. Pistils finally popped up yesterday on a few of the top sites! Should start seeing some solid stretch from LA punch soon, guessing around 30 to 40cm at least, who really knows right now 🤷‍♂️ I’m letting her do her thing and reach up into the net for now. If she starts getting crowded before the end of week 3, I’ll kick off some early defoliation. Also got two AC Infinity IonBeam S11 lights set up sitting about level with the top colas. I’m aiming the light to hit the middle and lower sections instead of blasting the tops directly, trying to get that nice even coverage. Still debating whether I even need to scrog this run, but a few people keep telling me to give it a go to see the difference, I guess only one way to tell 🙌

I am updating the harvest pages with the new images taken with the microscope, you can find here the extra images for the varieties not included in the diary, while for the varieties in the diary you find the images in the harvest pages.
