Hello Growmies! Welcome to Week 3 of flower of Stracciatella in a bucket! this week the plant continued her stretching, received aggressive defoliation and finally showed sex! I'm hoping to see the beginning of buds soon. I cleaned up her entire skirt, big leaves that were essentially just sucking up energy, small nodes that would never have grown to anything etc, when I do this I usually leave a few ugly big, energy sucking leaves, my reasoning behind this is if the plant struggles from a mobile deficiency, it will pull those nutrients its deficient from these bigger leaves, indicating me that there is a problem, without and before the sugar leaves getting hit. that's the theory anyway aside from stretching I also messed up the light schedule a couple of times this week, at one point in the dark cycle the light came on for 20 minutes, and then last night I left the tent open during dark cycle for 6 hours, hopefully this won't cause the plant to reveg, or delay her flowering I'll be keeping my eye out for any possible hermies.

Hi everyone :) girls are in 52nd day today. They showed some more cal&mag deficiency on the leafs last week but ph is fine, just over 6.5. I check it every day with apera ph meter. Every day looks bigger so that’s good sign too :) good experience on the beginning my adventure to look after ph :) every second day when I’m watering I’m cut a handful of leaves. It’s so tightly that’s why but I’m trying to be gently how it’s possible :) I made usefull all space But I can see with bigger tent I could take some more from baby’s :) but that waste goal 😝 screen of the green :) take care guys, will back soon with another update! Peace ✌️

Day 29- First day of Week 5. Topped all 4 plants today. Plants growing great! Noticed a "skin or film" on the stems that looks like it's shedding. Watering with spring water 1 gallon pH-6.5 @ 72° F. Sprayed water on the tops and bottoms of the leaves as well. Day 32- Watered a tiny bit, but ran out of water. Day 33- Wateres with 3ml/gal of cal-mag and 1/2 tsp/gal of recharge. Plant C has brown spots. Day 34- Plants have some weird colors but still growing good. First day of 18/6 light cycle.

They've started to grow their first sets of leaves and although temperature was a little higher than I'd liked they're coming along nicely. You can see the difference from just three days growth and then 3 days afer that! Adding a small amount of bio canna vega and molasses.

The Auto AK is loving life, handling a slightly over eager first time grower well! The West Coast OG is a little behind, seems a bit more sensitive to pH imbalance and has also suffered from a touch of nute burn 😕 rookie error! Did feed both with some seaweed and 6.0-6.5 pH water. They can't grow quick enough 😂

12/4/23-moving to flower. I have been doing LST, just put a screen on it to scrog. 12/5/23 - started new flower recipe and 12 hour light schedule 12/10/23 - has been in flower for almost a week; I have been putting 160ml of nutrients in am & pm, along with adding 24ozs of new water, ph running slightly low at 5.64. A little burns on some tips but looks healthy over all. Still not a tall plant, but short and bushy for sure. When do I see buds forming ?

🌱 Eternity Grow Cup: Week 2 Veg Report – Building the Foundation 🌟 First, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Grow Diaries, this amazing community, and all the sponsors making this journey so special: Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix Soil, TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LED, Future of Grow LED, and CannaKan. And a special shoutout to Zamnesia and Plagron for their incredible support with seeds and nutrients for this run. This wouldn’t be possible without all of you—thank you for inspiring us to put our best into this grow! 💚 Growth Update: Small but Mighty As Week 2 wraps up, the Zamnesia Runtz are still small, but they’re growing beautifully. • Leaf Development: • The first true leaves are now fully visible, and the second pair is starting to emerge on the horizon. Seeing those signs of life and progress fills me with hope and excitement. • Nutrient Introduction: • This week marked the beginning of feeding, laying the foundation for strong, vigorous growth in the weeks ahead. Current Setup • Environment: • Temps are holding at 20°C, with RH at 60%—a comfortable range for young plants. • The heat mat under the pots is maintaining an optimal root-zone temperature, keeping them cozy despite cooler room conditions. • Location: • Still growing alongside their sisters in the 4x8 tent but will soon transition into the full TrolMaster ecosystem, where precision and control will take things to the next level. Nutrient Spotlight: Starting Strong with Aptus Holland I’ve chosen to introduce the Aptus Holland lineup this week. These nutrients are carefully formulated to support plants through every stage of their growth cycle, and here’s what I’m using: 1. Aptus Regulator (0.15ml/L) • What it is: A silicon-based additive that helps plants regulate stress and environmental challenges. • Benefits: • Strengthens cell walls, leading to thicker stems and stronger leaves. • Increases stress tolerance, particularly against heat, cold, and light fluctuations. • Improves nutrient uptake, ensuring plants get the most out of their feedings. • Why now: At this early stage, Regulator gives the plants a strong foundation to handle the cooler temps and build resilience as they grow. 2. RO Water Conditioner (0.8ml/L) • What it is: A product designed to optimize Reverse Osmosis (RO) water, making it suitable for plant feeding. • Benefits: • Balances pH and stabilizes water for nutrient absorption. • Adds essential elements back into the water, ensuring a balanced feed. • Why now: Using conditioned RO water prevents imbalances and provides a clean, consistent base for all feedings. 3. All-in-One Liquid (1.25ml/L) • What it is: A complete macronutrient blend designed for vegging plants. • Benefits: • Provides all essential nutrients (N-P-K) in a balanced ratio. • Easy to use and highly effective, supporting strong vegetative growth. • Why now: As the plants develop their first leaves and roots, All-in-One Liquid ensures they have the building blocks needed to thrive. Educational Focus: Why Start Nutrients in Week 2? 1. Natural Reserves: • During the first week, seeds rely on their own nutrient stores within the seed casing. Introducing nutrients too early can overwhelm or damage delicate roots. 2. Signs of Readiness: • By Week 2, the emergence of true leaves signals that the plants are ready to transition from relying on reserves to taking in nutrients from the medium. 3. Balanced Start: • Starting with low doses ensures the plants can adjust gradually, reducing the risk of nutrient burn or stress. Week 2 Insights: Setting the Stage for Success 1. Managing Environment Challenges: • Lower temps can slow growth, but maintaining a warm root zone with a heat mat has been key to keeping these seedlings healthy and happy. 2. Patience in Veg: • Early veg may feel slow, but this phase is all about establishing strong roots and foundational growth. Remember, every strong plant starts with a strong start. 3. Why Pro-Mix Soil: • This medium provides excellent aeration and drainage, supporting rapid root growth. The added Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae further enhance plant resilience and nutrient uptake. What’s Next? As we move into Week 3, I’m excited to see these beauties continue their journey. The next steps include: • Monitoring the development of new leaves and early structural growth. • Transitioning to the TrolMaster ecosystem, where environmental precision will allow the Runtz to truly shine. • Documenting every moment through photos and videos to share the magic with this amazing community. Community Love & Thanks Thank you to everyone following along and supporting this grow. To all the participants in the Eternity Grow Cup: best of luck—let’s make this one for the history books! Stay tuned for Week 3, where we’ll dive even deeper into the evolution of these incredible plants. Until then, keep growing, keep believing, and let’s create something legendary together! 💚✨ Genetics - Runtz https://www.zamnesia.com/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html Nutrients - Plagron https://plagron.com/en/hobby - Aptus Holland https://aptus-holland.com/ Controls - Trol MAster https://www.trolmaster.eu/ LED - https://www.futureofgrow.com/en LED - https://www.thinkgrowled.com Soil - https://www.promixgardening.com/en Germination - Cannakan https://cannakan.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopXr-inLXajXu3QFgKXCXXos4F1oEvScjMKIB5MR5dk8-GJ-F49 DOGDOCTOR 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciloved and i fell honored with you all in my life With true love comes happiness Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant.

Day 100 - All ladies looking good at this point in the grow. Noemi's pistil hairs have mostly all curled up and turned amber in color. Also her trichomes are starting to appear amber in color. Will flush her pot with about 5 gallons of pH'd water soon. Natalia's pistils are about half curled up/amber and half white. Her buds still appear to be packing on trichomes and weight.

The week was partly sunny and partly rainy and our plants had to be canopied on the balcony nearly every day. Rare sunny hours. Humidity is mostly ok, but I‘m checking now very regular if the plant need to be harvested. The flowers are covered in trichomes, pistils got brown on the upper flowers, the larger fan leaves loose their color and I could spot first amber. But I want to wait as long as possible. Pure rainwater in the morning and in the evening. Flushing first time with a good drainage. Trichome fotos at the end :)

Hey guys :) My first run is nearly complete, I started flushing this week. Ill also give them 2 to 3 days of complete darkness at the end to slowly start the drying process in soil. I’m more then happy how it turned out so far, one of them is also starting to turn a little purple. Got one lady that has the big ass fox tails, one with fluffy buds and two with very dense rock hard buds. Trichomes are starting to turn cloudy, but most of them were still clear last time I’ve checked. I’ll turn the lights for them off as soon as they are cloudy with some of them being amber. Still looking forward for every advice for the end stages :) thanks all of yall

New week, seems ok for first morning, will do heavy feed on day 52. I already gave away one plant ( strawberry cough photo ) now one of fast diesels still stucked in pre-flower, would love to return to 18/6 regime, just dont want any reveg or hermie. Still lost. Fingers crossed ;) Day 53 Morning, leaves a bit down after night, everything looking not bad, thinking to defoliate two midle babies. Had a big mistake on day 52, they where down, i stayed for one night out and was late with watering for a day, they looked totaly down, like my mobile, thats why no photos, never seen any plant so bad in my hole life... But they are ok now, quess it was on the verge, but damadge was done 100 % Day 53 evening. I wouldnt be me if i wont be searching ways to screw up the crop ;))) After many hesitations i decided to do very light defoliation. And ..... They hated it. Lets give couple days, but 2 huge stresses in 3 days dont give me and girls joy for sure .... In that rush forgot to make third Fast diesel photo, but i quess she didnt made mind to flower, took like 5 leaves down and left her for a bit,very annoying , she will be a big delay at the end or very early harvest, both ways waste of time.... Plus had to reduce light to 15.5 of day, maybe those 30 min will force her ... All 3 Fast Diesels are very mag hungry, fed them with epsom salt extra. Day 54 . Fast Diesel 3 went to 24 hours darkness prison with a heater ;))) hope that will teach her a lesson ! Others got feed with silicic acid, they drink, thats a good sign tho ! Fast Diesel 3 was a day behind from all, even 5 leaves was too much. But its a good time for me to give last trick i can, before downgrading day hours even more. Day 54 Evening. Girls are praying again, silica always boost them to hapiness ;) Day 56. Girls are growing, looks like last Fast Diesel starts to make buds from preflower, but a lot of pistils going brown, so either its heat, which i will check today or its hermie ;))) Could be wind damage, i will check all options today, returned from work, made short shitty video and thats all ;) End of week.
