Finally received a couple of humidifiers to test from the local shop. These shitty low cost humidifiers will not really do, I can only have them on non stop until the water runs out. If I connect them to a sensor that switches them off, it won't go back on because it doesn't have a mechanical switch, I have to press on each time. Still, let's see if this helps my poor dry leafs a little bit

Hello, Growdiaries Community!😎 Once the taproot was well established, I moved the seedling to a small plastic cup with Terraprofesional substrate, so it could grow a bit more before its final transplant. The warm environment (around 24°C) and high humidity helped the roots develop healthily.
Final Transplant to 11-Liter Pot:
When the roots were well developed, I transplanted the plant to an 11-liter pot with Terraprofesional substrate, mixed with Startrex and Mycrotex from Biotabs to ensure a strong root system and healthy growth. This final transplant provides the plant with enough space for optimal growth during the vegetative stage. Substrate and Nutrients:
 Substrate:
 The Terraprofesional substrate is perfect for growing both autoflowers and photoperiod strains like the Critical, offering excellent drainage and water retention, ensuring healthy root growth. It’s enriched with organic matter, providing a well-balanced foundation for your plants.
 Nutrients:
 I’ll be using the Biobizz Indoor Fertilizer Pack, which provides all the necessary nutrients for healthy growth, including specific fertilizers for root development and flowering. The combination of Startrex and Mycrotex will further enhance root development and promote healthy, vigorous plant growth. Grow Tent:
 The grow is happening in a Cultibox SG Combi 60x60x140 cm grow tent, which is the perfect size for a medium-sized plant like Critical Feminized. It allows me to control temperature, humidity, and light conditions to maintain an ideal environment for the plant. Lighting:
 I’m using the QBK1500Plus LED for this grow. Here are the specifications: * Model: QBK1500Plus * LED Type: SMD LM281B * Total LEDs: 432 pieces * Light Colors: * 3000K (262 pieces) * 5000K (132 pieces) * 660nm (34 pieces) * 760nm (2 pieces) * 395nm (2 pieces) * Light Modes: * VEG Mode for vegetative growth. * Bloom Mode for flowering. * Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm * Power: Adjustable to suit the growing needs (dimmable). * Input Voltage: 100-240V * Additional Features: Full spectrum light, energy-efficient, and long-lasting. Now that the plant is settled into its 11-liter pot, it’s in its vegetative growth phase. I’m using an 18 hours light / 6 hours dark light schedule and expect it to grow quickly and healthily. Only water when substrate is drying out. Happy growing, and see you in the next update!😉👍

*So many leaves!! Lots of defoliation still. *Smells stronger, earthy *About to have her own tent

Cool plant. Strong stems. Big trichomes. I reset the clone, and it rooted in 5 days... the speed of this plant is really unbelievable!

Heya👍🤙👍🌱 I started a growers Tips videos. Check out my Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/H6PnoahTHrEzm63U/?mibextid=oFDknk Big BIG BIG thank you to Sebastien, Heather from Fastbuds420. You guys are the best. Can't wait for the next live. Even Bigger shout out to Hydroponic.co.za. My local Hydro Shop and Sponsor. Thank you Sir. 👍🤙👍🌱

The wait is finally over, I harvested on 07/01/25. Dried very slowly for almost 2 weeks inside the tent at 60% humidity and 18 - 21 °C. Smells very sweet, it reminds me strongly of the Purple Punch. Only in direct comparison, the Purple Punch leans more to berries while the GSC leans more to something, I can't smell out. But very tasty.

They follow their rhythm 65 cm 👏🏻💪, temperature 26º C ☀️ Humidity 65% 💧irrigation 750 ml/plant💦💦 water one day with nutrients and other day whitout nutrients 😋 defoliation 🍃 binaural sound 🎼😋👍

Couldn't take care of her personally thi s week as I wasn't home, so my roommate did it. I'm very happy with the results, especially considering that the growing conditions aren't the best (it's been raining constantly this past week). I thought that she would've stop growing since she started the blooming phase, but she's actually growing faster that she was before. I'm not really sure how to properly do LST, still I did my best

🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — 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 time… 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 — 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. 🌿 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 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — 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 — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – 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 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ 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 — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — 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 — 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 — 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, they’re hanging and drying — 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 — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’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: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • 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 • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ 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 — 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 — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 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 — 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. It’s not just dirt — it’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. It’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. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’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 that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 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 — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

Another week without fertilizers, flowering seems to have stopped :/ The trichomes seem quite ripe, I'll wait another week and then harvest.

Coming soon

All round great strain to grow , responds well to lolly popping technique , produced around 8/9 good main colas ,, covered in resinous terps with a strong earthy smell … I cannot wait to try this one she’s a beautifull looking plant DRSHOTZUK🍀🍀💚💚

Excited for the flowering phase. So far plants seem to be very healthy. They’re stretching noticeably now every day. A few white hairs coming along. Smell isn’t loud seems to be coming along shortly.

Gente,sono arrivato alla 6 settimana di fioritura,per fortuna sto riuscendo a debellare sto cazzo di ragnetto rosso...e tutti i fiorellini maschi che stavano spuntando...al momento sembra che non stiano più facendo sviluppare,ne nannars ne fiori completi di Maschio......il che è buonissimo 😋...spero riuscire a portare a termine bene la mia terapia, altrimenti mi ritroverò (ma di molto nellaCACCONA...MERDA!!!)..MA no! sono positivo e quasi sicuro che sarà buonissima 😋

Plants took a few days to get stripped down. Missed the second week of flowering and stretching but oh well there is always next time. Very excited to see this canopy full of uniform buds its going to be a sight to behold haha.

Nice smell like peaches no trichomes

She is looking nice and juicy and have about 2 weeks left till harvest.

Day 15 I decided to try LST on the Forgotten Cookies x Forum Stomper again. In retrospect it still might have been a little early, but she took it well. Day 17 It's still crazy to me how fast these things grew in the beginning. Leaves starting to curl up on the edges which I think was from wind burn. I might have adjusted the fan a bit in response but I think I was ultimately fine with them getting some wind. Did first LST on the Forum Stomper and a re-adjust for the FCxFS. I was really happy with how many bud sites I uncovered on the Forum Stomper. Already felt like my LST techniques were improving. Day 19 More LST adjustment for both. With how fast they were growing, I was adjusting the wires pretty much daily. Still just water and recharge up to this point. Day 20 36x20x62 tent enters the chat. Really happy with how well this fit into my closet. Fit right into the corner where the plants used to be (Week 1 has the first setup picture). AC Infinity T4, Genesis clip-on fan. Girls are doing great.

Just dank

Day 8 of Flowering, this babies are stretching hard and starting to show white pistils and i couldn't be happier! Even if the soil is pre fertilized i just added 0,5ml of Biomagno FiorituraOM to help the plants start flowering, as @Mangodudu said EC was only 1,2 it shouldn't get them overfert. The structure il very nice and the plants are vigorous and always with praying leaves, i defoliated pretty hard and fixed every branch to a bamboo stick, so they don't have to carry the weight of the buds in the next weeks and focus all the energies in the bulking up the buds. I also just lowered the lights to get some light stress and help the plants stretch harder, and the response was amazing they just doubled the size in this first week of flower, I'm also very happy with this canna plus pro soil, it takes the water and drys very fast it think it's thanks to all the cocco in it.
