Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering. Man! I got spider mites. I haven't had to deal with them in years. It's a good thing I have a bit of insight and bought a Hypochlorous Acid maker. I was watering the plants 6 days ago and saw some minor spider mite damage. I got my device up and going with 1 gallon of water and 2 tsp of pure salt and 3 tsp of white vinegar. It ran for 45 minutes and it was done. The device turned that into Hypochlorous Acid. I posted the article I read, in last weeks pictures or the week before that. So far I've sprayed twice and I don't see any more leaf damage. I've still got 3 or 4 weeks more till harvest so I'll keep watch and spray some more. The acid is supposed to knock out Powder Mildew and aphides too. I'll have to try it on my zucchini plants that seem to get PM each year. I'm getting some yellowing leaves on the bottom too, which is normal. We've had no rain for 3 months now and I'm out of rainwater so I'm using dechlorinated water. I fill up 5 gallon drinking water jugs and let them sit around for a few days to dissipate the chlorine. Have some summer fun. Chuck.

Starting flush day 68

Starting to fatten up now, very nice smell to her. Looking forward to the final product Going to start slowly dropping EC this week

Ringraziando divine seeds per i suoi super semi divini!!!! Super approvate!!!

D49 - The first day in the third week of flower, and all is well. I still haven't seen any thrips on her, but you can never be too careful since I have them in my other tent, so I went full Rambo by cutting up a package and using a teaspoon to place predatory mites on her leaves and taking care to avoid the flowers. I also redirected the airflow to not blow directly on her and I'll leave the sawdust there until tomorrow and then brush it off. D53 - Not much to report really, except that I switched on the UV light. She is just doing her thing, slowly fattening her buds. D55 - I gave her 1.2-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5 today. We're only at the end of the third week of flower, but she has several yellow leaves already.

HEY guys so another week has passed and the end is in sight . had to buy some alternitive mag and calcium supps as calmax isn't available at present here 😑 but been run a week now and no problems as of yet . Gave a wee vid update of my nutrients and supplements im using at present and will add more with different grows . Til next week 😀

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

Nothing amazing other than some swelling we are here on our last week will be chopping her down in the next week or so im tooo excited for this yield. Hoping for a a 3oz min.

📆 Semana 4: Enraizada y Lista para Volar La FFA se ha adaptado perfectamente a su lugar definitivo y muestra una vitalidad creciente. 🌿 El sistema radicular ya bien establecido permite una absorción constante, lo que se refleja en un verdor intenso y un crecimiento uniforme. Los entrenudos se alargan ligeramente, señal de que la planta busca expandirse, pero sin perder su estructura compacta. Se introduce una base Grow de forma progresiva para acompañar este ritmo sin forzar. El radicular de XpertNutrients sigue activo como refuerzo biológico. El ambiente sigue estable, con buena ventilación y luz suficiente. No hay signos de estrés ni plagas: la planta está centrada en crecer, y se nota. Todo indica que la transición hacia la floración será fluida. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

I may have a little problem with humidity and temperature cause unexpected cold is came. Next week will be fixed. I really have to fix the temperature and humidty problem, cause i think there is too much thermal shock. Day 34, now i’m sure about thé température problem.

Outdoor Auto #1 LSD-25 fastbuds lsd-25 auto 6th November 2020 These two are doing considerably better than the other two autos I have growing. Atleast these girls have some visible trichs and smell pretty good too. I will give them some Bio bloom from greenhouse feeding later today and hopefully it will make them even better. Cheers as usual for stopping by 👍

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

Increased Buddy to 1mm p/l. Will be adding PK14 in the next 2 weeks as they're peak flower and will need the Potassium etc. These plants are at the front and to the right in the timelapses.

This week I harvested these two Quebec Black Bud, it was really a great experience. Its unique appearance and these colors charm us from start to finish. Calm in vegetation but surprises us in flowering. I can't wait to see the final product 😇 Harvest : Pheno #1 day 56 flowering 119 total Pheno #2 day 60 flowering 123 total Training : They have received my hand manipulation since day 8 and this every day to force them to grow bigger and stronger until the addition of the scrog. I started my base again on a manifold. For now I'm having fun like that, let's see later 😁 I'll leave you with these beautiful photos and come back to you later. After drying and curing I realize how the color is an intense purple almost black, The genetics are not called Quebec black bud for nothing. the buds are really compact, I know that with the auto pot system I give myself a chance that they will be denser but I believe that hard training leaves its mark.

gonna feed them twice and start flushing ;)

Still looking great! I kept spreading out the canopy the first few days of flower, but as it was impossible to water the plants in the back I still ditched the scrog net. It really helped flattening and spreading out the canopy though, but it was there for like 2-3 days only. Since the canopy was filled completely there was no need for the net any longer, and I mean: look at it, isn't it beautiful?! Looking happy and excited for flowering!
