I really enjoyed growing this single plant in a small space like a first indoor experience. The end result is not exceptional but it is fully acceptable for the setup and the period in which the plant has grown. I very soon hope to bring more serious diaries to really start having fun.

Hi Growmies, So far she is developing very nicely. Had someone from the community suggest plant success orca and Rezin to me, sp these were added for the next weeks feed to prepare the pre flower. The roots have started to nest themselves right above the airstone. As of now I think I’ll give her two more weeks and then flip her, as she is stretching a bit slower than I thought she would. Thank you all for passing by and see you next week.

Hi boys and gals, hope you had a great christmas in those bad times. I’m doing just fine and I’m beginning to harvest some of the ladies. Just check on the video I added, the two girls in the left back side. What a smell, sour diesel and gorilla girl are just amazing 🤩!!! I wish you a nice week and a great New Year’s Eve

Licht habe ich gestern auf 70% hochgedimmt. Habe begonnen alle, außer der Amnesia, mit Hesi TNT zu füttern. Taste mich dabei langsam am die an die optimale Menge ran. Aktuell bekommt Lemon Orange die halbe empfohlene Dosis. KISS und Grapefuel Gelato bekommen etwas 20%. Bei der KISS werde ich die Dosis beim nächsten Mal noch mal erhöhen. Lemon Orange wird außerdem heute ihr erstes LST bekommen. Bei der Grapefuel Gelato gehe ich aktuell von einem Schaden durch die Hitze aus. Diese werde ich heute Abend wahrscheinlich Toppen. Die Hauptnodie wächst langsamer als manche Internodien. Die neuesten Blätter an der Hauptnodie sehen auch verkrüppelt aus und auch die der obersten Internodien. Die Blätter der unteren Internodien sehen soweit gesund aus, deshalb hoffe ich das Topping die Probleme löst.

Jack herer is doing alright for a cold space grow. She started showing her first pistils. So her preflowering stage has started. I imagine she will start to stretch soon. I don't see her getting really big with the cooler growing temps. I could be wrong though. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱💪🏻 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

🌾 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.

6/27/21 - I’m just feeding and letting the plants flower. So far so good! For a first time grow I think I did pretty well but it’s not over yet ;) 6/28/21 - They look great! I bumped up Cha Ching to run until final flush. Hopefully that will help make it a little more frosty. They are sticky to the touch and smell great. 6/29/21 - Some branches fell over from the weight of the bud. I had to tie them up to the light. See the bottom of the plant in the pic above. :) 6/30/21 - Most of the plants keep falling over. I have to tie them up with string to the light. Buds look great! 7/1/21 - More of the plant fell over but I tied everything up so it’ll be supported. I shouldn’t have to tie anymore branches. 7/2/21 - They look good! Lots of buds. More than I initially thought. Oh well, looks good! 7/3/21 - Day 42 of flower. Getting very close to start a flush. I’ll use sledgehammer a couple times then water from there on out. They look on track! I haven’t had any deficiencies or any discoloration. No pests either.

Flowering nicely now. Not drinking a ton of water but I attribute that to lower temps lately.

Alle 5 Samen wurden in ein Glas mit Wasser und 2 Tropfen Seedbooster von Plagron für ca 20 Stunden eingelegt. Nach ca 20h im Wasserglas ging es für die Ladys in kleine Anzuchttöpfe. Nach 3 Tagen in den Anzuchttöpfen haben 4 Ladys und nach 4 Tagen hat dann auch die 5 Lady das Licht der Welt erblickt. Nächste Woche werden die Ladys dann in jeweils 8l Stofftöpfen Platz finden. Durch die kurze Vegetation sollten die 8L Töpfe ausreichen. Die 4 Ladys die den stabilsten Eindruck machen und sich am meisten im Wachstum ähneln werden behalten. Das Substratgemisch besteht aus ca 70% BioBizz Lightmix und ca 30% Cocos mit Perlien. Ich gebe bei dem Run etwas mehr Cocos hinzu damit das Substrat noch etwas luftiger wird und die Ladys es etwas leichter haben ihre Wurzeln zu bilden und damit vielleicht einen kleinen Wachstumsschub zu erhalten. Auf das ganze kommen dann noch ca 10% Megaworm von Plagron und ein wenig BioGrow das es den Ladys anfangs an nichts fehlt. Die Ladys haben leider etwas weniger Zeit für ihr Wachstum, weil der Contest zeitlich begrenzt ist. Der letzte Grow hat leider auch etwas Zeit in Anspruch genommen. Mal gucken, ich hoffe das es reicht. Mit FarRed als Einschlafhilfe in der Blütephase kann man vielleicht ein paar Tage einsparen. Ich hoffe auf das Beste. Am Ende muss man ja auch etwas Glück mit den Phenos haben. Angegossen wurde mit 1g/L BioEnhancer und 1ml/L PowerRoots. Der ph-Wert wurde vor dem gießen auf 6.0 korrigiert. Jede Lady bekam für den Anfang ca 30-40ml in die Anzuchttöpfe. Mit einer kleinen Heizmatte und den Kuppeln auf den Töpfen wird für das warm/feuchte Klima gesorgt, das die Ladys anfangs benötigen um zu keimen. Am Tag an dem die Ladys das Licht der Welt erblickt haben, kamen die Kuppeln ab und die Ladys spüren dann auch ihre ersten Luftzüge.

Yooooo what is up guys! Welcome back - in to week ten and the zkittlez has been harvested. Cloudy trichs all over and about 10/15% amber so went with a chop today. Wet weight of 628g for the plant roughly. Including a bit of stalk weight, which I’m chuffed with. 🙌🏼 She’s on to dry now, so stay posted for post dry weights. I’ve taken off the majority of fan leaves but left all the sugar leaves for a dry trim and to help slow the drying process. The Runtz still has a few days or weeks left in her. Just waiting for those pistils to stop sprouting and some further clouding up of the trichs and then chop chopppp! Thanks for stopping by 🤟🏻

Gelato Auto Week 2 These big girls have had an amazing week doubling in size. Heat has been a little issue with these two but over all they have been OK besides some leafs that have curled and showing a few rust spots on a couple leafs. I upped the water a little to 32oz a day. Over all good growth keeping plenty of air flow. Happy Growing Everyone.
