After 65 days of flowering I took the ladies down. They have alot of trichomes and even some drops of oil coming out of the leaves. They are now drying.

Hello everyone! Welcome to my Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge diary. ๐Ÿ’ช I'm germinating 2 seeds from every of the selected cultivars on paper towels: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Strawberry Cough (Dutch Passion) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Mimozz (Perfect Tree) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Slurricane (Advanced Seeds) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Cherry Atomic Sledgehammer (Welcome To The GrowTent) Did not have much success this time - germination rate was just over 60% - my worst in years. But still - I'll get enough plants for my tent - I always try to sprout 200% of what I really need, for ocasions like this one. ๐Ÿ˜Ž After they germinated I moved sprouts to easy plugs - which is wher they normally start they life (I usually ommit paper towel step and go straight into plugs). First time in years I'm really having problems with germination. The one Slurricane that did germinate seems to have broken growth cone or something - it is no growing at all. Mimozz seems like it wants to die so it probably will... I did drop one more seed just to be sure I have at least 4 plants: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Grandpa's Cookies #6 S1 (ETHOS Genetics) More updates coming soon ๐Ÿ‘‹ Thank you, come again! ๐Ÿ˜…

๐ŸŒพ Harvest Day โ€” The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup ๐ŸŒพ Days 72โ€“73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been โ€” 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 timeโ€ฆ 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 โ€” 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. ๐ŸŒฟ 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 12โ€“13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry โ€” 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 โ€” a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones โ€” just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 โ†’ #4 โ†’ #3 โ†’ #2 โ†’ #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them โ€” only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Cure Begins โ€“ 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 58โ€“61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. Weโ€™re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process โ€” the cure โ€” is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. โ˜€๏ธ 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 โ€” everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive โ€” a growerโ€™s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. โš–๏ธ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent โ€” thatโ€™s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends โ€” we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or โ€œquality control testingโ€ along the way. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. ๐ŸŒฟ The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, thereโ€™s a part we donโ€™t always see โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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, theyโ€™re hanging and drying โ€” 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 โ€” both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they donโ€™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: โ€ข Friedelin โ€“ known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects โ€ข Pentacyclic triterpenoids โ€“ believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions โ€ข Alkaloids โ€“ some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties โ€ข High levels of fiber and tannins โ€“ excellent for digestive and skin applications ๐Ÿต Root Medicine โ€” Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: ๐ŸŒฟ Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying โ€ข 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots โ€ข 3 cups of filtered water โ€ข Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20โ€“30 minutes โ€ข Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste โ€ข Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation ๐Ÿฒ Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing โ€ข Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth โ€ข Simmer for 2+ hours โ€ข Strain before serving โ€ข 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 โ€ข Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2โ€“3 hours) โ€ข Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm โ€ข Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus โ€ข Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas ๐Ÿ› Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief โ€ข Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth โ€ข Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering โ€ข Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension โธป 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 โ€” 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 โ€” this wouldnโ€™t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. ๐ŸŒฑ 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 โ€” 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. Itโ€™s not just dirt โ€” itโ€™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. Itโ€™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. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ’ ๐ŸŒพ The Benefits of Reusing Soil: โ€ข Sustainability โ€” less waste, less environmental impact โ€ข Cost-effective โ€” no need to constantly buy fresh medium โ€ข Soil memory โ€” rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure โ€ข Nutrient potential โ€” amended soil still holds value for many plants โ€ข A deeper connection โ€” a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, weโ€™re not just being resourceful โ€” weโ€™re believing in tomorrow. Weโ€™re trusting that what weโ€™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 thatโ€™s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฑ 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 โ€” the cycle continues. And itโ€™s beautiful. ๐ŸŽ‰ The Final Touches Fun fact: โ€ข Trimmed on May 25 โ€ข Photo shoot on May 26 โ€ข This report: May 27 โ€ข Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned โ€” the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. โธป ๐Ÿ’š Thank You To Zamnesia โ€” your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

Solid week, she's growing well if I look at a week ago but I'm too impatient ๐Ÿ˜†. A look back at the week that was. After a trip to my local hydroponic shop I picked up grow bags, SCROG net, Growrite AandB formulation (Dutch apparently although wasn't on the drop down list here?), CalMax and LST tie. Day 19 I did her 3rd and final transplant to 20L grow bag. She didn't seem to suffer from it but will definitely plant into final bag from the get go next grow. It's too stressful on me LOL. Moved my grow tent out of garage and onto patio area as we've had a spell of hot days >35degC and the shed roasts. Wife isn't happy bout it but my girl appreciates it. Introduced CalMax and Growrite into her fertilising schedule. Trying very hard to stick to a watering/fertiliser schedule giving her nothing every 2nd day as suggested in comments (thank you!). Also started LST and at day 21 it's looking like some medieval torture scene! Would like to know people's thoughts on the LST, have I gone overboard? While I'm asking what is the latest consensus on topping Autos? Most people here seem to go for it but a number of vids on YouTube say otherwise? Also I was watching a video that suggested a great way to promote root growth is to starve her of water I.e. let her go dry for prolonged period (>4 days?). What are people's thoughts on this? Anyone tried? I am hoping for big growth in week 4!

So exactly 12 weeks old today Iโ€™m checking trichomes every other day atm as there still clear!! Hopefully another week of feeding nutrients then the flush before harvest! Still happy for my first grow! The girls scout cookie auto plant has been impressive and the bcn critical has also grown steady!! Leaves are turning more yellow and bud hairs seem to be curling over more each day which is a positive! Feeding every two days, trying to starve them as much as possible! Do I reduce my light hours in the last two weeks of harvest???

26/09 Today, at the beginning of the second week of color, I nevertheless decided to remove a few unnecessary and interfering stakes. I also removed small shoots and some leaves that greatly interfered with the penetration of light to the shoots. I connected the problem with an overabundance of N with the fact that I have both AD components mixed. It turns out the formula 4 3 8, I think to remove a little Grow 1-0-4 component and then you will get an excellent compote for these bushes, I will also change the irrigation scheme, I will give 400 ml per day, instead of 800 in two days with formula 3-3-4 Even today I mixed a new compote with formula 3 3 4 , and added AD Grow just 1ml/1L and decided to add a little 5ml less AD Micro and AD Bloom . Let's see how things go . And I also took better photos, rate in the comments guys!! 30/09 Hi all! Continue. monitor the condition of the lowrider, it seems that the burnt edges of the sheets have begun to pass, periodically I just water it with water, and I made a little less content of the Grow element. The babies are developing extremely cool, I think that so far I am moving in the right direction I water 10% of the pot, they have 7 liters each

6/8 Haven't had to water yet (besides the two tens and I should've held off). It's an overcast day. Perfect for the plants. I've noticed more off shoots of 3 pronged leaves so a few plants will reveg but thats fine. I'm happy with how things are going thus far. These are certainly very resilient strains. I've done some SLIGHT LSTing. EDIT: IT'S BEEN A NICE DAY TODAY. A LITTLE OVERCAST BUT SUNNY AT TIMES. PERFECT WEATHER FOR THE GIRLS. THEY ARE LOVING IT OUT THERE! 6/9 And the girls are lookin' Fiiiiiine. In all seriousness everything is doing pretty good. Even that overwatered pink kush runt in the 10gal is coming out of its little funk. Some of my FIM's turned out amazing! With the reveg of some of these I'll definately have my hands full. Very grateful for smart pots and well draining soil! We've gotten some harsh rain but the girls all seem fine. It's the wind today that's a little worrisome. I may stop over later. I COULD put up tarps around the cage as wind blocks (and have before in the past) but it increases the humidity of an already extremely humid day. These girls are strong. I'm sure they'll be fine. I've found that the tarps typically hurt worse than they help. 6/10 56ยฐ at 9am. Shook the plants off. Medium wasn't soaked though. Luckily we had some wind. It's not raining now but it's going to have showers for half the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80's and sunshine so if that comes through things might workout alright. I still haven't had to water this year besides that one gallon on the tens. If I do something I'll update. I'm considering light stepping the two pink kush's in the 10's. I'll need to do more research. 6/11 BEAUTIFUL DAY! Windy too which helped dry the grow bags. Plants are growing at a rapid rate. I've yet to have to water. A few more days like this and I'll have too. It was in the 80's and is still 75 at 5:30. Bags still have heft to them and I can still feel moisture. They got tons of rain. I'll keep an eye on them. Thus far I'm pleasantly surprised (knock on wood). 6/12 Everything looked great this morning. It's a little overcast and 69ยฐ @ 8:45. I mixed water planning on watering but decided against it due to the weight I was feeling. My wife said it rained hard last night for a little while but the topsoil was dry. The medium looks dry but there is still some weight. I'll be back over later and I'll check things out. Overall plants have made a great transition even in this bi-polar weather extravaganza.

Watering has become an issue like I knew it would be. I need to start watering twice a day because at once a day they are drying out fast. To pull a couple of leaves because they turned yellow from lack of water.
