Day 42 - 17/01/24 All plants are looking vigorous today! Tent is very green, LST did it's job, and bud sites are all upwards! Keeping a close eye on P2 and P3 for any yellowing as they're coming up to the 6 weeks in the medium. P1 is making some headway with 3 of the sprouts. one is still weak looking. 18/6 Light cycle in place, all at 100% intensity. Temps are around 26-28C in the day time and around 20C at night. Lights off temps hover between 16-19C Negative pressure in the tent, all is looking well. We're pushing close to flowering!! Day 45 - 20/01/24 Whilst doing some checks, I found a little buddy growing next to Plant 1. I must have been sloppy when I topped the plant and dropped a piece into the pot!! I don't know what, if anything, will come out of the little thing, but im gonna leave her in the pot, see how she goes!! P2 is looking pretty good. Bud sites all exposed to light, did some slight clean up on the branches. Pre flower signs are all over this big plant. same with P3 as well. Gave all 3 first bit of extra nutrients this grow. Used some Plagron Products. Let's see how they take to it! 1ml/L Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation and Sugar Royal as well as 1ml/L of CalMag. Day 47 - 22/01/24 All Plants are looking great! vigorous and lush, responding well to the extra nutrients!! P3 is getting the major LST treatment this time. Got all branches stretched out, all bud sites in direct light. I also folded down the lip of the fabric pots to expose more of the lower half to air and light. Looking good so far, flowering fast approaching!!

Week 8. P Biddy. She's got the least foliage out of the 4 but the buds have come along nicely. Few of the big fan leaves and upper / newer leaves are showing signs of (I think) N deficiency; yellowing quicker than expected and getting crispy / papery. Top fed with some all mix and a healthy dose of biogrow and hoping it's the right call.

🌾 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.

The start was easy as it gets just add water the first 20 days and LST every day. When i saw some of the lower leaves start to change color that's when i started to add nuits. after that it was just following the instructions foxfarm already had laid out for me. I cut back by half in the start of my feeds but by the end of my grow I was at full strength. Testing your run off is key. Cropking send me great seeds and genetics is a great foundation and starting point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was very happy I got almost 5 ounces off one plant.

this girls seems to be doing very well despite its hard colder weather she looks to be more 2 weeks for harvest not sure if she's going to make it . Thank you for reading I will continue to love thanks have a happy grow

The plant who's branched snapped is completely healed and honestly looks to be the strongest and healthiest of all the plants. OG is a little bush, but thats expected. She should stretch perfectly in flower. Had to remove the fan (hurricaine 16") because it was giving windburn to the plants even though it was barely on them and on the lowest speed. I'll readd it when I put them in the tent next week. Day 31: this week the plants have really grown. King Kong p2 has almost doubled her size. I just ordered my 4x4x6 tent and a 2000w full spectrum LED and will be moving the ladies to flower at the end of next week. Day 33: added a humidifier, humidifier automatic controller, and a 2000w full spectrum LED.

Bola Mintz by Anesia Seeds Wet toiletpaper in ziplock bag method. Old recommendation from a fellow GD grower and works really good. Lets wait for germination, i will update the diary with pictures when it has some root going on. Also posted some pictures of my line-up for the coming months --update1- took 4 days to get a nice little root to transplant into the soil... So we made a nice video of the transplant from paper towel in ziplock bag to coco --update2 - 1 day later i noticed something was coming out of the soil...added some pics of it

I transferred it to a half-gallon pot and I mixed the organic fertilizer with the soil.

Oh Ya Baby!! I’m so impress

FAT BANANA 🍌 AUTO / RQS This week she was harvested she was easy to grow from seed to harvest really no issues with this strain her buds are covered in trichomes with red hairs and smell great 👍 she's a strain you want to keep in the rotation 😉 if you like banana strains!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look during this grow it's really appreciated!! Thank you ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!! RQS / FAT BANANA 🍌 AUTO

😼Wk15: Surprise! This is the right time. 👉This week’s journal is only the days that lead up to the harvest which happened mid to late in the week. Since the harvest process takes more than a couple days, and it happened late in the week, I will be making one more week with the harvest process after the buds are dried to 20-25% (hopefully) and in jars. I should have all the final specs for the grow. 👉The 1 gallon plan was not even absorbing much fluid. The saturation volume of the media was getting smaller each day it seemed. It would take over 5 minutes to be able to pour 1.5 liters of solution into the pot. The run-off would also end very quickly as compared to all other plants I grew. I surmise this is due to the roots packing the pot and compressing the media very tightly, not allowing it to absorb much solution. The light sweet caramel aroma is now replaced by what I would call the strong generic funky stank of weed. While there is nothing extraordinary about the aroma, it’s so strong that you can smell it outdoors (its vented outside from second story window). Even with, medium to strong winds you can catch whiffs of it. Smells like heaven to me! Super frosty buds. Only a couple buds had any fresh calyx’s with white pistols. During my trichome hunting expeditions I see very few amber. But those are not what Im hunting. Im looking for the majority of the trichomes to be cloudy. I believe by mid-week all the buds had mostly cloudy trichomes with a few clears left. Harvest came on day the 3rd day of the week. 👉The 3 gallon plant was consuming less fluid. It was easy to fertigate it with 3l of water. The EC was spiking very quickly and would not come down very much. The run off would fall back in range but be above target the next fertigation event. I figured it may just be the densely packed roots in the pot. With the pH runoff going in the opposite direction as the 1 gallon plants run-off and I was wondering what was causing the difference. Even though the lowest leaves look a little like the plant was over watered, I continued the high volume of fertigations. I did reduce the EC somewhat. I was giving it week 10 mix on the GHE mix chart for drain to waist mix. The leaves looked crappy, but the buds were looking awesome. The plant had the same light creamy caramel aroma when sniffed up close, but the strong aroma of stanky funk was the permeating odor that filled room. I had only done some light scouting for the trichomes on the plant and each time saw more cloudy tips. I wasn’t sure but by Tuesday the trichomes looked at least 50/50, which is a little further along than I thought it would be. After harvesting the 1 gallon plant I had room to pull the plant out and rotate it and give it an exhaustive scan for a more complete idea of how much time it had. When I rotated it, I didn’t notice it at first. Then I focused on it as the top of a cola was brown and the leaves around it were all dried. “Oh fuck!” I shouted. It was like someone had walked up behind me and jabbed me in the ribs and yelled "BOO"! I was startled and even jumped out of my chair. I then did a double and triple take to make sure my eyes weren’t being grizzled or bent. I then grabbed the branch cutters and took that branch. I searched the cola and it was isolated to the top 3 inches of this fat pine cone. I snipped it below that group of bud and removed it from the house, took it out back in the field and stabbed it, shot it and set it on fire (only in my imagination). I then washed and sanitized my hands, returned to the tent and inspected some of the larger colas, pulling them apart and looking to the center for nasty pestilence. Fortunately I didn’t see any. I didn’t have time to harvest it right then and there, but I did on Friday night. I knew I wasn’t out of danger yet though. These buds are pine cones and very dense. I was afraid Id see the same thing I saw in my Critical purple and lose all the best buds. I wouldn’t know until the harvest was complete, with the buds curing in the jars. 🙀

Cosa ne pensi ?

day 46: a lot of defoliation these days. growing nice :)

Day15 - Day17: I had some difficulties to get the humidity right. It was either too high or fluctuating too much. I ended up getting a timer for the plug and running the humidifier 15mins every hour. To help with air flow, I have the main duct fan running 4 times a day for an hour. To ensure that there's airflow around the plant, I have a fan in the light as well as a smaller clip-on fan that runs during light hours. I'm not sure how the camera moved on day17... I only watered it mid-day. Day18: The timer on the humidifier and Duct Fan is now keeping the humidity in a good space. VPD now under control Day19: The Vivosun controller perfectly adapted the lighting schedule to an hour earlier, to ensure 6hrs of darkness. UInfortunately the RPi kept it's 04:00 schedule (makes sense). So I captured an hour of darkness. Adapted everything. Will have 18hrs again from Day20 onwards. Day20: In the next days I'll lift the camera higher for a better view of what's happening up top. My mesh-netting-dingsbums will arrive and I'll use this as a platform for the pi+camera. Day21: I'm not sure if I like this angle. I'll only keep it like this until she goes into veg-mode. It at least shows the new nodes growing from different perspective

She is growing nice, good leaf structure. Will LST next week.

The 7th week started. Based on the Breeder's description it is supposed to be the final week for The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so it should be ready to harvest. It is my first grow but I can say it needs a minimum of 2 weeks to be ready. I think 10 weeks at least. I have checked another diary with the same strain and it took 10-12 weeks to be finished. I placed the Purple Punch 38 hours Darkness so from now I will give 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule to start flowering. They are in the same tent so I take out in the morning to be in darkness, and put back at night. I did reset the timers. Water: 125 ml 2x daily each plant so altogether 250ml a day for 2 plants. I raise up every week with 50 ml a week per plant. Fertilization the same amount of water the same acacia honey around 2 big spoons and bat guano 1 teaspoon per 1-liter water and I fertilize it 3 times a week every second day on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, plus one-half day like on Saturday once. So from today (Thursday), I started forcing the feminized strain Purple Punch to flower also after 45 days from germination. This week not too much things to say. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe stopped growing just added an extra 5 cm to its height. Hopefully it focuses on the bigger buds creation. Purple Punch grew an extra 2 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 37 cm, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm.
