It's now the start of week 4, everything is pretty much the same, I decided not to LST this time around, instead I'll just defoliate as needed to allow better light penetration as she bushes out. went fishing yesterday and had some leftover minnows in my bucket that died off an left me with some nasty water so I'll mix it 50/50 with rain water and water my plant today, I usually water heavy once a week with one or two light waterings in between when the top soil starts to dry out.

I can see why this strain won an award, these are some good genetics. I have never grown cannabis until now and the yield was much larger than I expected for my first grow ever, exactly 50.8 grams from a single plant in a 5 gallon fabric pot. I started low stress training at three weeks and was able to get around 9 decent sized tops with minimal daily maintenance. The quality of the bud was resinous, semi dense, with many thick trichomes and large cloudy heads which made the potency quite strong. The buds formed in intriguing sticky stacks with many pistils, buds erupted from all sides and the color was a very dark purple covered with dark orange pistils, I enjoyed simply looking at its amazing structure. The scent was very pungent and sweet berry and almost soda like. The effects were indica and sativa hybrid with a dominant indica effect. It had a very relaxing effect with a strong head high and a calming couch lock effect which I enjoyed. Overall it was a fun experience to watch the plant grow and then harvest and indulge in its dankness, I will definitely be growing another fast-buds seed soon and the quality of the buds inspired my friend to grow some gorilla cookies :).

1/14: Fed today. The Cheese is getting fat and reeking with a funky odor! The Zkittlez and Bubbleguns are fattening nicely as well, but they smell more like candy. 1/18: Fed today and rearranged. Increased UVB exposure by another 30 mins per day 1/21: Fed today.

Despite my best efforts to kill them, they are holding on. They never really fully recovered from the LUSH overfert, pretty much been doing straight water w/ some calmag up until this week. Nice fattening on the buds, some fox tailing starting to show up. Smell is intoxicating.

Flipped to flower 26/2. have a lot of the lower sites developing nicely. let's hope flowering goes well.

Look amazing !!!! One week and ✂️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi, topman! This week report is add-the next week, and this happened, because between 10 and 11 weeks, i didn’t can reloading media-content! System KiT 1: Delivering Efficiency To Growers Everywhere. Compatible with all 8" rockwool cubes; also used with smartpots and fabric pots. 26 flower-designed louvers. Stakes on the bottom add extra stability. Holes in all four corners allow for leftover water drainage. Made from BPA and lead-free plastic. Dishwasher safe, stackable and reusable.(c) KiT2 System: With the FloraFlex Matrix System water and nutrients travel into the Circulator, hit the slope of the Matrix and are pushed outward into eight maze sections that have individual holes dripping the water and nutrients onto the Wicking Pad. The Circulator has two barbed nozzles to attach 1/4" OD FloraTubing that allows you to automate the Matrix System. Place the Matrix Pad on the surface of your plant, the Matrix Unit on top of it, press down, fit the Circulator into the center holes, and connect your 1/4" OD tubing to the Circulator. (C) Check next week now, because there are will be continuous!

This week she’s smelling so peng. Literally cannot wait to taste her. I haven’t got a x30 loop eye piece so can’t check the trichomes proper but she looks nearly done. The thc is still milky from what I can see and most hairs are nearly all orange now. I’m flushing her every 3/4 days pure water now from the tap. Leaving her to dry in between last Run off at 378 which is pretty normal for my tap water. Biggest cola at 16.5cm circumference now. So looking forward to giving her the chop. Although She had been showing signs of stress throughout the grow it seems like nothing can stop the hulkberry from yielding a good harvest. Unbelievable I’ll be growing this in again for sure.

Flush week begins for one of the 2 plants. Not many red pistils yet but I will be cutting in a few days as there is already quite a bit of amber color in the crystals. Definitely don't want to miss out on the nice terpenes, the smells are pretty amazing, very citrusy. The yield looks like it could be quite decent too. Buds not as thick as I was hoping for, but still really good looking. Some leafs on the right side plant showing some signs of various issues and maybe a few previously undetected bugs on some leafs, but looks like all should be good.

Still growing strong actively. In particular Ryu developed lots of newly freshly white pistils but also the lower bud sites started to grow significantly. Fingers crossed that this will grow smoothly towards the end. The emergency harvested branches were ok but way to soon of course. At the same time they haven’t been very big either so I guess the impact on final harvest won’t be as big/maybe even beneficial as for air flow, nutrient supply etc for the rest of the branches. Also those I harvested have been excluded by my counting so far as I haven’t seen them since they were too low. There’s another one such candidate who might have to be emergency harvested as well but he’ll have a full more week and also he is heavily coated in sugar already. Let me know in the comments how well you can see the sugar coating, especially the lower bud sites sometimes have an excessive coating. Would be interesting to know whether this has anything to do with lower bud sites doing something that it makes them sugar up more. Or maybe it’s the light that is different in these darker areas The image quality in the video for some reason is much better often than in the photos. I don’t get why the iPhone isn’t just doing what it does in video mode in photo mode as well. Update: The overall coloring is slowly transitioning from white to Orange on those Buds. I can now see the end of the tunnel. Buds are also swelling nicely. And oh the chomes! 🥦🍆

Blütetag 1

So this was the last days of their life, I love stressing the plants by the end of the life and the effect is insane, i give them some ice, 24Hours of darkness and it works perfectly!

🌸 Week 7 Flower — Eternity Grow Cup Update 🌸 📍Week 18 from seed 📸 +150 high-quality photos & videos provably more ups but they are shining and they deserve the attention EC 2.5 | pH 6.2 | Full spectrum + under canopy light tuning Welcome back to one of the most breathtaking updates so far in the Eternity Grow Cup. Week 7 Flower has arrived with a storm of frost, color, aroma, and structure — this is the beginning of the final masterpiece, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Each of the five phenotypes is shining in her own unique way, and the individuality of each plant is now in full display. From deep fruit tones to dense stacking, this week is a celebration of what happens when genetics, environment, and love come together in harmony. 💎 Standouts of the Week • Pheno #1: Still holding the crown for the most intense fruity profile — bursting with sweetness, almost candy-like, and surpassing all expectations week after week. • Frost levels are skyrocketing across the board. These buds are starting to look snow-covered, shimmering under every light source. • Bud structure is really starting to swell — you can see the shift now as things gear up for ripening. We’re talking weight, mass, and beauty. 🔬 What’s Working This is a week where everything is clicking: • The mix of Plagron and Aptus nutrition lines is showing insane synergy. The balance of strength and finesse is just right, and the girls are loving it. • ICL 300 under-canopy lights are performing beyond expectations. They’re lighting up every shaded spot, helping buds form from bottom to top with full integrity. You can see the results in the side buds — tight, frosty, and reaching up. • We’re holding strong on spectrum tuning and DLI, hitting the right numbers at the right time, and that precision is paying off in how fast these ladies are moving forward. • Temperatures and airflow have been key — we’re still running the vortex-style air movement, and it’s doing wonders for the microclimate around each plant. 🌿 Just 2–3 Weeks From Harvest It’s starting to feel real. We’re entering the final arc. The finish line is not far, but right now, it’s all about patience, observation, and letting nature complete its masterpiece. Every moment counts now. 🎥 We’ve documented everything in full 4K and high-res stills. This is a week for the books — every trichome, every pistil, every sparkle.

Firstly, the video of the popcorn bud from the mother plant, is showing what’s known as xylem sap from a process known as guttation. I never new that until this. Additionally, I am sorry to have missed out on so much documentation. I can talk forever about my plants so this will be short and to the point. Fast vigorous growth. Very resilient and hardy strain able to shrug of cold damp conditions, and freezing nights down to 32 Fahrenheit. The immune system seemed to be very strong. Never did I find any pathogens or even pests! A few but those little ghost spiders really helped out. During harvest, a thorough inspection resulting in surprisingly clean product! Finishing with large “airy” buds with fat bracts covered in trichomes. A rich musky cheese smell that surprisingly tastes of berries! I suppose I’m getting ahead of myself. But I was able to finish cure and smoke test the mom before harvesting the clone. Finally: this fast 50-60 day pheno will continue popping new bracts up to 90 days!!!! Or at least the mother in the tent did. Also, the dry weight is an approximation as I’m not finished with trim.

Englisch version below Tag 62 Grow Tag 8 Blüte: Anfang der zweiten Blütewoche und der Streach lässt langsam nach. Beim gestriegen Gießen des Compost-Teas habe ich vergessen, den PH-Wert der Flüssigkeit anzupassen - Aufgefallen ist mir das erst nachdem der halbe Topf schon drin war. Heute zeigen sie jedoch keine Reaktion auf eventuelle Missstände des PH-Werts im Substrat. Am Ende dieser Woche ist eine letzte aber Gründliche Entlaubung geplant. Dannach läuft der Grow fast im Autopilotmodus ins Ziel. Die Lampe ist nun auf 100% bei ca. 900 ppfd. Tag 66 Grow Tag 11 Blüte: Gestern wurde mit 25L gegossen - aktuell muss alle 3-5 Tage gegossen werden. Es entsteht ca. 1L drain. Das große Lolli-Popping war heute. Die unteren 30% wurden dabei radikal entfernt und auch ausgewählte Seitentriebe, die es nicht mehr nach oben schaffen werden. Auch der größere teil der Sonnensegel wurde entfern um mehr Licht auch an die unteren Buds zu bekommen. Außerdem wurde ein SCROG-Netz eingespannt um die Pflanze zu unterstützen. Das Netz wurde mit 2 Gewindestangen gespannt um das Zelt möglichst voll auszunutzen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 62 – Grow Day 8 – Flowering Phase: At the beginning of the second flowering week, the stretch phase is gradually slowing down. During yesterday’s watering with the compost tea, I forgot to adjust the pH value of the liquid. I only noticed this after about half of the pot had already been watered. However, today the plants show no visible reaction to any potential pH imbalance in the substrate. At the end of this week, one final but thorough defoliation is planned. After that, the grow should run almost on autopilot toward the finish. Day 66 – Grow Day 11 – Flowering Phase: Yesterday, 25 liters of water were applied. Currently, watering is required every 3–5 days, resulting in approximately 1 liter of runoff. Today, the major lollipopping was carried out. The lower 30% of the plants were removed quite aggressively, along with selected side shoots that would no longer reach the canopy. A large portion of the fan leaves was also removed to allow more light to reach the lower buds. In addition, a SCROG net was installed to support the plants. The net was tensioned using two threaded rods to make the most efficient use of the tent space.
