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!

Slowly but surely, more volume will appear! The plants look healthy so far. I defoliated them again at the beginning of the week. Let's see what else is possible.

Woche 3 Die Money maker wächst wie die Woche zu vor weiterhin gut, Die Wurzeln sind zwar nicht ultra weiß aber mir egal die Pflanze sieht gut aus und die Wurzeln auch nix ist Tot oder schleimig. DWC geht auch ohne Wasserstoffperoxid. Bei Fragen einfach die Frage stellen, genauso bei Verbesserungen und Tipps für mich. Danke und viel spaß mit euren Pflanzen.

Day 70 finishing up here soon

Bomb plant bro, you should grow this, its better than the Tropicana cookies

WEEK 12 - FLOWERING: Late Flowering Phase ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS The Monster Maker is progressing through Week 8 of flower. The buds are continuing to gain density and are starting to show slight purple tints in some areas. The plant is handling the current nutrient levels without signs of stress, showing consistent growth across all sites. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The terpene profile is characterized by a sharp, sweet tangerine scent. The aroma has remained stable and pronounced throughout this week. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING Currently irrigation is 1.67L with the full BioBizz mix. I will maintain this schedule for two more applications this week to support the final bud development. ​Current Feeding Schedule: Calmag: 0.5 ml/l Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l Top-Max: 4 ml/l Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE Week 12. Bud density is increasing and the tangerine terpene profile is very distinct. Everything is proceeding according to the established plan.

6/3 I desperately need to transplant. 6/10 she's a beautiful plant. A little finicky with too much heat. Maybe a little sensitive to nutrients. But overall producing

Hello Community! I just started germinating my beans, and I’m thrilled to announce that Nuggz R1, spotted as a new release last spring, is finally ready to be seen in action! Here are the growing conditions: Lighting: Using 2 sets of ATB-240W LEDs from Bushyard.gr, a new Greek startup collective that has quickly gained a great reputation among local growers. These lights are equipped with the latest Samsung LM301H diodes and are absolutely top-notch! Nutrients: Primarily using the Remo Nutrients line, and as an extra boost, incorporating Green Planet's Rezin. Laboratory analyses have shown that Rezin can increase THC levels by 2-3%, with some reports suggesting even higher gains. The results will be seen firsthand! In addition to Rezin, Advanced Nutrients' B-52 will be used for its beneficial B1 vitamins. Total Nutrient Bottles: Using a total of 9 bottles, and also adding mycorrhizae into the coco medium. 1st of August and the beans have popped, seems like we are having a success rate of 3 out of 4, continuing the nutrients as indicated above and starting the seedling week

Green Poison Fast F1 from Sweet Seeds Harvested in 2020 - Return of the Clones! This grow was from clones from first grow. Had to re-cut a 4th clone, and it was 16 days behind the rest. While it is pictured on the way, the 4th laggard is not included in the harvest week. Some other pictures of clones were related to regenerating the mother plants that had grotten rootbound. It was a perpetual garden back then.

I didn't have a lot of time for photos this week so you're getting a video... And you're gonna like it😅

Looks like the 3 of the 4 strains are very hungry and showing signs of yellow from what i can see inn pictures my maid sends me. Good news is im back in the game in under a week and bringing home some awesome new LED lights and New nutrients for the ladies.
