🌾 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.

Bueno pues ya llegamos al final familia, do sweet dos es una variedad bastante productiva. De cuatro plantas casi 180gs y la verdad que bastante contento, no tuve tiempo para poder hacer más fotos y trabajar más este post pero con la prisa y la mudanza pues bueno, bastante e cosechado. Humedad en el secado relativamente baja al 40% y la temperatura estuvo entorno a 23 grados ambientales. Hasta aquí todo familia, os recomiendo también la gama de productos de agrobeta, ya que los resultados son llamativos.

I feel like this is week 7 of flowering not week 6 I think I may of missed a week at the beginning of flowering. I have been feeding her a 25l mixture of feed a week. 3.3 ltr a day. It has been taking this really well, been doing for 2 weeks now. Going to start my flush on 20/10 and also planing to drill her on the same day. Will take photos. She is really starting to fatten up now, can see them buds get bigger and bigger everyday!!! Still keeping the feeds up trying to get as much as I can in her!!!! Still keep the comments coming in!!!! Is she amazing or what!? Start the flush when!? When to harvested her!? Would love to know what everyone thinks!!!

I will start lst soon

All three strains doing really well all the time. Now er are in week 7 of flower and you can guess how the buds will looks when finished. All over good trichome and fruity terpene production!

Unseasonably cold temperatures has had me on edge but growth still looks to be normal. Noticed some magnesium deficiency in some of the lower branches from the temp dipping below 60 so I bumped up my cal mag slightly to compensate. Also increased part B and C of my base nutes as well as Monster Bloom, Nirvana and Purpinator. Still no signs of any purple growth but I'm still very optimistic that these babies will be beautiful no matter what. Might cover up their pots and surrounding ground with hay/straw/mulch or whatever I can find today to help keep the roots warm with lower 40's°F for lows at night in the near forecast. Two of the three Devil's have shown exponential flower growth over the past few days, with more indica characteristics, where the middle Devil is straight sativa, totally a bunch of foxtails forming 🦊 and extra tall, long branches as where the other two are more Christmas tree 🎄 shaped.

I've ordered myself a little holder thingy for the phone, so I can attach the pocket microscope to it and take stable pictures through it - until then, just believe me that the trichomes started to turn amber in large enough amounts that I did not want to wait any longer. Going for that active, energizing high, it was time to cut her! I will see that I fill in the growdiary live week by week from now on - I would have added a lot more thoughts and notes that way I believe. Might have slightly helped diagnosing the poor thing earlier. 😅 On the grow itself, there are several things I learned and want to improve going forward. For one, I am not going to carry that much water around a second time 😄 I can't really weigh this right now and I already started smoking it 😇 - but if possible I will try and provide a dry estimate later this month when I prepare the remains for curing.

Added a second scrog net for the taller plants last Friday. Constantly defoliating to increase light penetration but not trying to stress the plants. (Selective leaf picking) Plants loved the tea I have them last week. Visual improvements in every plant 2 days later. Top dressing later this week on 9/29: 5 tablespoons Gaia green 444 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 15 tablespoon Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings *hard to get good pictures of this plant* Light increased to 75%

Freaked out this week cause I couldn't smell the plants anymore. Turns out I caught covid, yay! Not much content because I was resting up mostly. Getting plants ready for chop, many seed packs say you can chop by week 8 of flower - that's actually the earliest one can harvest. If given the time like a home grow, one can wait 1-2 weeks longer to harvest. Also in the cases of sativas like mine, they can flower for up to 12-16 weeks.

12 hours max soaking before directly going into 18ltr pots. Amazing germination speed and rate as always from the guys @ 420FB

Start of week 7 Day 51 was the hottest Day ever 😫

Everything was going well in the first week, but unfortunately, a mistake caused stress in the plant. The distance between the lamp and the plant was too short. This week, I gave the plants a small amount of root growth stimulant

the roots broke the plastic basket😱 Very strong genetic, very recommended👽

06/17/2020 I'am not sure how she will produce,but the smell is intoxicating! Wow that's all I can say. Better than any gg I've smelled thank you Fast Buds! In fact I love it so much I have decided to selectively pollinate some buds with Red Sky male , that should make for some freaky flavor combos! I think she is stretching and filling out she looks happy! I do have powdery mildew on the stem need to clean it up oh yeah did I tell you I love the smell! Lol

I know I missed a few weeks I honestly just forget sometimes😂 but regardless I harvested middle of week 9 of flower, I’m excited to see how she dries I’m not going for weight I want the stem because it looks cool lol but I’m guessing I’ll get around a half OZ

Dear Grow diaries, I have to listen to what the plants are telling me. looking at the the yellowing of the fans and the trichomes cloudy and amber I think its time to flush as I am 2 weeks out from harvest. This will put the Think different at 77days of flower and as I off set the Fast buds and MSNL by 14 days they should "Theoretically" finish at the same time. I needed this to happen because I only have one tent and it will serve as a drying and curing area. I replace my filter this year and my filter exhaust fan fell on the tangie matic I thought I killed it but its still hanging in there. I flushed with the Clean Fruits from Green Buzz today just over a gallon in each plant. I will flush again with 5 gallons in each pot tomorrow. The tangie and the Carmelicious were very dry the smoothie and the think different were still kind of heavy they are more Indica. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. 2 more weeks till 48hrs of darkness and then the chop. The End Has Begun.

If I could name weeks it'd be "GET ME THAT PK 13 14 STAT, THIS GIRLS GONNA DIE.... 😭WITHOUT... 😭 fat.. 😔Nugs...😥I'm OK, Im OK, her Nugs may not be the dankest in the land. But they're MY Nugs. Hmu if you want your plants drawn as anime characters, and when something like this happens, it'd be 🔥 artwork. First though, I'd better learn to draw, for sure that's the first step [/lockdownIsolationInsanity-Done] 1AM 19TH JULY: I find out my care taker for my setup HAD to move them... OK, shit happens. Sorry what this was 6 days ago? AND YOU LOCKED ALL THE NUTRIENTS AWAY SO THE PEOPLE YOU MOVED THEM FROM WOULDN'T SEE. And of course, of course he can't find (I call that lost, but he disagrees) the keys to where he locked them. OKAY.........😡 It's okay though, locks are made to be broken (when your tomato crops livelihood depends on it /wallets livelihood), and I'm a simple man. "Ooga Booga, Me break through cos me big strong man." Jokes aside I'm just dissembling this fucking lock tomorrow. And he's 100% on board, because if I'm giving him "__" % just to literally do the most basic stuff. Say, 20%... Sounds cool, oh wait no 20% of zero? Damn, that's zero. Yikes. So we're getting these plants fed ASAP. :) VERY EVENTFUL UPDATE :) * Apologies but this week will be light on details - Will just give the main events. LST - 1st Attempt ever, appears to be workinPotted in 3 Gallon fabric bags. Citric intervention over, but after posting this I'm going looking for ph down, Im unvortable constantly using Citric t lower pH. On 3 biggest plants (~45-50cm), using only Tera Vega and PK 13/14. Used old pictures, because of some chaos.. lets say. Updated pictures tomorrow

Soddisfatto del mio lavoro? SI ASSOLUTAMENTE SI . Questa è la mia prima esperienza nel campo della coltivazione della cannabis e sono veramente contento del risultato, ma non devo cantare vittoria troppo presto adesso manca la seccatura e la concia speriamo bene ahahah 🤣

Last week and we proceed to cut, its leaves have changed in recent weeks to a purple with black and green hue, buds with a lot of resin and a lot of smell, a beautiful cycle without any problems, very happy 😍
