Eternity Grow Cup - Week 1 Flower Report Welcome to the first week of flower in the Eternity Grow Cup! This is a crucial stage in the cycle, and we’ve made some important moves to set the girls up for success. Let’s dive into all the details and talk about the key elements shaping this transition. 48 Hours Dark Period & Transition to Flower Before flipping to flower, we implemented a 48-hour dark period. In my experience, this technique helps the plants transition more smoothly and accelerates their hormonal shift into flowering. It’s a method that has consistently worked well for me, and I encourage growers to explore different approaches to find what best suits their setup. The Power of Reds - Far Red & Deep Red As part of this transition, we have introduced far red and deep red lighting. These are turned on 15 minutes before the main whites and stay on for 15 minutes after. The reason? This simulates the natural sunrise and sunset effect, which helps optimize the flowering response and enhances overall plant development. The red spectrum plays a crucial role in promoting stretch and enhancing bud formation early on. Light Schedule - 11/13 Cycle From the start of flower, we are running an 11 hours light / 13 hours dark schedule. Over the years, I’ve found this lighting strategy beneficial in inducing faster flower onset, increasing terpene production, and ultimately producing better-quality fruits. This is something I personally swear by, but as always, I encourage others to experiment and see what works best for their unique environments. Spending Time with the Girls One of my favorite parts of the grow is spending time with the plants, enjoying some good medicine, and simply being present in the garden. The connection we have with our plants is invaluable, and I believe they truly respond to the energy we bring. It’s a labor of love, and every moment spent with them contributes to their health and vitality. Monitoring with TrolMaster TM + App All data is being closely monitored using the TrolMaster TM + app, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out. Seeing all the details, tracking trends, and adjusting conditions accordingly is a game-changer. If you love data as much as I do, this is definitely something worth exploring. Gear Spotlight - AeroFan Extraction Let’s talk about one of the essential pieces of gear in this setup: the AeroFan Extraction System. This exhaust fan is an absolute beast, keeping the environment perfectly dialed in while looking sleek mounted on the wall. A good extraction system is key to maintaining ideal airflow, temperature, and humidity control, and this one has been doing an incredible job. Current Environmental & Nutrient Data Water pH: 6.0 Water EC: 1.36 Water Temperature: 16°C (a bit low, will be adjusting soon) Soil EC: 1.44 Soil Temperature: 20°C (decent but could be slightly higher) Maintaining the right balance of temperature, pH, and EC is essential for a successful flowering phase, so I’ll be keeping a close eye on these numbers and making any necessary adjustments as we progress.

This week was really concentrating on finding bud sites and giving them full light. If you couldn’t tuck it...it had to go ✂️ Ready to feed phosphorus and potassium once she shows white hairs.

Week 1 - Day 1 20L Super Air Pots with a bottom layer of clay pebbles, (an inch deep at the centre point) and topped off with Growdog’s 70/30 coco perlite mix. The tops of the pots are covered by green plastic water distributers to evenly spread the water from the 12” watering rings. 2 lights; each 300W actual draw, currently inside the tent. 2 more coming next week to make a total of 4, across the 6 plants achieving a true watt draw of 1200W. Aiming for 1g/watt Germinated seeds from FAST BUDS, were planted and hand watered using tap water pH’d to high 5.8 to low 5.9 with H&G Roots Excl. giving a nice PPM of 362 to start. The BudBox tent is a 2x2x2m, using a Medusa Boosted XL run off trays to a waste brain were the run off can be tested. This will then be recirculated into the feeding tank again. The feed tank will a standard 100L water butt, retro fitting pumps inside for Feeding and Pump to waste - for cleaning the tank out each week. Another 100L water butt will contain a store of filtered RO water which will fill the feeding tank. A 10L PureMate humidifier is set at 65%, along with 2x RAM 16” oscillating wall fans which are mounted to the top of the tent for maximum coverage - set to lvl1 on swing giving the 25°C. No extraction yet. This is ready and waiting. 8” HyperFresh fan with a RHINO 8”x600 pro filter. We are using 8” acoustic ducting.✌️🏻 Week 1 - Day 2 No change. Keeping the new environment stable is difficult. The humidifier is not large enough for the space. Week 1 - Day 3 Fed PH RO water this morning. Trying to keep the humidity up inside the tent. They have popped up! It begins :D Did a feed of 5.8PH RO with CocaA&B 0.4ml/l, Roots excl 0.3ml/l, Calmag 0.2ml/l for a 150PPM. 300ml was used to moisten the coco per pot. Extraction fully connected. Environment stable at 23-24°C, trying to stay at 23.3°C. Humidity fluctuating 47-60%, humidifier struggling, but hopefully be okay. Week 1 - Day 4 All 6 are up and reaching. Husks hopefully will pop off soon. Will be doing another small feed this evening to keep the coco moist. Little leaves have appeared!! Fed another 300ml, 5.8PH @ 151PPM/ plant. Week 1 - Day 5 All shooting up now, tallest at 5cm down to 3.5cm 🌱 I gently helped the last 2 husks off the smallest ones to hopefully even them up. Gave the coco 1L of RO water around the edges. Week 1 - Day 6 Nothing to report this morning. Another PPM feed to be done shortly. Soaked the coco until run off with around 3-4L per pot using 5.8PH nuit water; 0.4 Canna A&B, 0.2 Calmag, 0.3 Roots Excl. 152PPM. First time we tested the Medusa brain - works well and pumps away to the feed tank, need to change one of the low trays to be a boosted tray for better drainage. Giving 5 boosted trays and one normal. Hand feeding up until this point, but will connect up the automation in the next week. Week 1 - Day 7 Strongest are growing around 1cm a day now. Tallest 6cm, smallest at 4cm. Looking forward to next weeks progress :) Bought a wet&dry vac - best thing ever!! Haha. Cleans everything in sight plus all the water from the dirty run off. Lifted all the pots, still a good weight to them so no feed or RO water today I think. Bring on week 2! 💪🏻

Aroma is extremely strong, pistols are maturing, bud sites are becoming more dense, anthocyanins doing their job on this pheno, fan leaves began yellowing due to slight heat stress. Approaching Harvest

Taking it day by day. I think the power going out for the few days it did messed with her. Bucket is getting smelly and looks like the roots are getting root rot... but hopefully I can combat it. Maybe need to get a bigger airstone.. hopefully the one I ordered from Amazon actually shows up.. Ac Infinity tent and in-line fan will be in today! 😬Thanks for stopping by. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

First time growing Blueberry Auto, found it to fast growing with little margin for error.

17/06 - Starting week The plant is increasingly purple shades and the flowers are growing well. The trauma caused by supercropping did not negatively affect the health of the plant. 19/06 Feeding: Only Water 0.5L 23/06 Feeding: Bloom Complex (7.5ml/1.5L) SuperVit pH 6.4 EC 1160 23/06 - End week

09-12-2019 I had to harvest her she was crying out and i couldn't take it no more. I also needed the room for bigger things. I have one seed left of this strain so she will return. I enjoyed my time with her but for now it's time to move to Greener Grows. Scales come in a few weeks but now expecting much as the buds were soft and loose. Thanks everyone for watching!😎

So week 4 of flower is in the books and things are going well. Noticing a cal/mag issue in the jehovas witness but not the others. Growth has been strong and the fatality has taken over she has outgrown my five foot tent so am moving everything to a brand new 5x5 that’s 8 feet tall so I’m hoping I can spread them out some and allow light to reach the middle canopy because I have lollipopped all the lower larfy bullshit. Looking forward to a strong finish.

It's hard to see any upward growth but the buds are getting thicker and ripening. The smell is getting more pungent. The smell eminates and tries to escape the tent when open. The more fresh air she gets the more smell comes out. Idk if I'm burning my trichromes but I have my light at 100 this week but still keeping temps low.

Hello Diary, Milky Way F1 deserves all the praise, well done to Royal Queen Seeds and their labs. Milky Way F1 is the fourth F1 strain in the series and I can say firsthand that they are fast, have an excellent yield and the quality of the flowers is excellent. The plant dried for about 20 days, turned upside down, after which I trimmed the flowers and placed them in the Curing Vault to ripen further. The result is great, 72 g of dry flowers that are ideal for daily consumption. I think I wrote everything I had about the Milky Way F1, if anyone has any more questions, feel free to write. Thanks to everyone for their comments, to Grow Diaries for a great platform and to Royal Queen Seeds for years of support.

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

Hi guys!its getting kind of boring but again a rainy day.They need sunlight bad,the coming days the sun will shine so we will see what happens. Cheers! Finally we have sunshine!The smallest one,a gg,just will not grow i dont know whats wrong with her and she is already in flower. The rest is doing fine i think. Cheers!

Her grow was super easy, no deficiencies and absolutely loved water all the time. Big stalk with large branches to hold her weight. She really enjoys heavy light and feeding ☀️💉. Recommend for an easy grow💯

Bonjour à tous, le 8 septembre jour 51 pour mes 8 Royal AK. La semaine dernière mes plantes ont bien aimé la lumière Led et elles y répondent positivement. Je ne change aucun des paramètres précédents. J'attend que les plantes ont fait de bonnes branches secondaires pour lancer la floraison. Voilà c'est tout pour l'instant mes amis. Merci d'être passé me voir, laissez moi un like si le coeur vous en dit. Peace and Grow for All..🌱

Day 1 — Monday 9/15/25. Installed a timer on a 12/12 cycle finally taking this girl out of 24 hours light schedule . Because it’s day1 of flower I also gave her a full strength feed of flower nutrients which includes my new organic foop, stash, & incredible bulk . That’s 95ml per gallon of water plus 1/2 tsp of stash and 1/4 tsp of incredible bulk . She looks hungry hopefully this doesn’t overdo her . I’m thinking she still needs some “grow” nutes for these first 2 weeks atleast but I’m going to see how she responds to this strictly flower feed to make sure I haven’t overdone it . I’ve moved the clones out the tent & cleaned out the crud in the humidifier since I stopped using purified water it gets build up . That branch I tried taking back together has died ! Can’t save em all I only hate it bc it’s from the ONLY branch that regrew from that one half of my plant it’s near dead state . This 5x5 plant is only 1/2 of a plant trained to cover my tent’s entirety meaning if I had the other half I’d have a 5x10 plant . I’m I dunno how long this girls is supposed to flower for . . 8 weeks ? 10 weeks ? 12 weeks ? I’ll need to find that out to adjust my feeding and light intensity accordingly . It’s been FUN but now it’s time to get to the FUNNEST part ! The Bud! Day2 flower 9/16/25 completed our HEAVY DEFOLIATION. Got about 93% of it out of there I’d say there’s about 7% more I want to get out of there . These next 3 weeks are the last times I’ll be able to pull leaves before these too many trichomes to not glue your fingers/tools together . Shes look crazy as she always does when I strip her back but her bones are great . I broke another branch today while defoliating and trying to better spread out the canopy for coverage . I’m undecided will I scrap the clone projects as I do not feel like slapping together another make shift setup for lighting purposes and I don’t want to let them get leggy between nodes before I decide what I want to do with them . I may hate this bud and not want to grow out the clones . I may love the bud and be thanking myself I made these clones . I dunno viewers choice ! What do we do with the clones during flower??? Comment below Lights out begins at 6:50pm she stays dark for 12 hours . Humidifiers refilled shes coasting into sweet dreams . Looking online quickly it says she flowers 8-10 weeks so that doesn’t really help me gauge when to stop feeding & when to start flushing so I’ll keep looking for more definite answers . Day #3 flower 9/17 woke up to check in plant and make sure light was on. I found that one of the circulatory fans had fallen knocking down the tent camera! This particular fan is a wall Mount fan not made to be attached to a pole however through sheer tenacity & jerryrigging is there a fan with substantial circulatory capabilities in my tent for a reasonable price! Sooo I jerry- rigged it up again this morning in a slightly different manner using most of the original materials. The negative pressure in my tent with it fully sealed for the day cycle caused the fan to push on the “jerry-rigged” setup causing it to slide down about 16inhes. I’ve reinforced a stopping point just like last time but with far more girth than the last . Fingers crossed this makes it to the end of flower & remains as my circulation configuration because paying for a 4”. 6” or even 8” clip on fan is just ludicrous Happy Growing ! Give us a like

the plant and at the end of this week only water and ice 4 days and then 3 without water and then I cut it and leave it to dr

So This week was the same as the last really, It seems all I have to do is sit back and watch these ladies do their thing! Ive not gone full on with the bloom supplements or PK yet as only 2/5 of the GG are seriously flowering. The other 3/5 GG are now Finally showing some signs of flower and some tops are starting to build and lowers producing more pistils each day! The Stardawgs continue to explode, even some friends who were sceptical about the performance of the Quantum board LED's have been flow away by the results. All of the buds seem to be building dramatically top to bottom which no shortage of frost! Macro shots on the way!!
