Eternity Grow Cup - Week 7 Veg Report Another week down, and what a week it has been! Our Runtz ladies are thriving, pushing forward in their vegetative stage with strength, beauty, and some seriously impressive root development. This week, we officially transplanted them into the Autopots, and let me tell you—the roots are stunning. Root Health & Mycorrhizal Magic The mycorrhizal fungi have been doing their thing, and it's truly a sight to see. When transplanting, I could clearly see how beautifully the roots had colonized the medium, forming a healthy, snow-white network that fully surrounded the pot. The Aptus Holland Mycormix is once again proving itself as an absolute game-changer in root development. Strong, well-established roots mean better nutrient uptake, stronger resistance to stress, and overall improved plant health. If you’re serious about growing, this is something you don’t want to overlook. Aesthetic Update – Pink Vibes! Yes, I know, I know—the pink background is still here, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s giving the photos that extra pop, bringing out the vibrancy of the plants, and making every shot feel unique. Hope you all are enjoying these visuals as much as I am! New Home - TrolMaster Ecosystem This week also marked another major move—the plants officially transitioned into the TrolMaster Ecosystem. And guess what? They are absolutely loving it! With optimized climate control, precision automation, and a perfectly dialed-in environment, these plants are thriving under their new conditions. Current Environmental Conditions: Room Temperature: ~20°C Relative Humidity: ~67% CO2 Levels: ~1400 ppm Light Intensity (PPFD): ~300 A balanced combination of temperature, humidity, CO2, and light intensity ensures that the plants continue to grow at their full potential. The high CO2 levels combined with the moderate PPFD allow the plants to photosynthesize efficiently, maximizing growth while keeping stress minimal. Nutrient & Watering Program Right now, I’m sticking with the Aptus Holland Clean Program, which consists of: Regulator System Clean RO Water Conditioner All-in-One Liquid The water parameters are as follows: EC: 0.55 pH: 5.86 Water Temperature: 15°C (a bit cold, but still manageable) Ensuring clean, well-balanced water with optimal nutrient availability is essential for healthy root development and vigorous vegetative growth. With this setup, they are getting everything they need to flourish! Shoutouts & Thank Yous! Huge shoutout and thank you to all the amazing sponsors who help make this grow possible: Aptus Holland – Premium plant nutrition TrolMaster – Intelligent environmental control Cannakan – Precision germination & planting tools Grove Bags – Advanced curing & storage solutions Ziggi Papers – Innovation in rolling technology And of course, a massive thank you to Zamnesia, Plagron, and GrowDiaries for putting together this incredible Eternity Grow Cup! Final Thoughts Week 7 has been phenomenal—our girls are thriving, adapting beautifully to their new environment, and setting the stage for what’s to come.

Stopped the nutrients at week 11

Been trying to keep the humidity between 40-60%. Likely going to purchase a humidifier. Plants seem to be loving the Elite Nutrients though.

Still trucking along. I had my light turned up a bit high for the first week, I turned them down a few days ago and all the plants seemed to enjoy it. Nothing else to report really.

The drying process lasted 14 days and I'm in the 2nd week of curing, I've already tried some buds and neither the smell nor the taste are great, the taste and smell of both phenotypes is lemon.

How RQS Compares to Your Standouts Brothers Grimm (your "otherworldly" stars: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea) These are landrace-influenced, heirloom-style genetics with exceptional resin, unique flavors, and structure. They outperform RQS in quality, potency, and "wow" factor in your tents. RQS tends to be more commercial/hybridized for ease and yield, while Brothers Grimm prioritizes distinctive traits and consistency in experienced hands. Humboldt Seed Company autos (your top autos for resin, especially OG Triploid) Humboldt focuses on West Coast legacy genetics with heavy resin production. Clearly superior to RQS autos in trichome density and overall quality. RQS autos are faster and easier for beginners but often lack the resin "frost" and depth you get from Humboldt. Fast Buds (fast, flavorful, reliable autos — you like them a lot) Excellent speed and flavor profiles. You noted they're in a "different class" — fair point. Fast Buds emphasizes quick cycles and modern hybrids with nice terps, while RQS autos can feel more generic or require more coaxing. Quick Thoughts on Your Observations Brothers Grimm (Montel Iced Tea, Bubbles Blueberry F4, etc.): These are clearly the stars in your current setup. The strong smell, unique leaf morphology, and overall vigor in small pots show they're expressing well under your conditions. They reward careful growing with quality that feels special — resin, flavor complexity, and effects that fit your low-dose, functional style better than most commercial lines. Your homemade cross (Gelato 44 × Bubbles Blueberry F4 pollen = "Blueberry Knockout"): Nice work on your first intentional cross-pollination! Getting viable seeds and decent plants from a garage-level cross is a real win. It’s not "pretend breeding" — it’s exactly how many great lines started. The fact that it turned out "pretty nice" is encouraging. However, as you noted, combining a Royal Queen Seeds Gelato 44 (solid but commercial) with Brothers Grimm Bubbles Blueberry F4 (higher-quality, more unique genetics) creates a hybrid that can show the best of both, but also some inconsistency. If the RQS side brings easier growth but less depth, while the Brothers Grimm side brings the special traits, the offspring can be hit-or-miss depending on which phenos you kept. RQS Gelato 44 / Mike Tyson 2.0 vs. Brothers Grimm: Your experience matches what many growers report. RQS lines are generally more "user-friendly" and higher-yielding for beginners or volume grows, but they often lack the resin density, terpene complexity, and unique expressions you get from Brothers Grimm. The Tyson 2.0 collaboration added hype, but in your tents it landed at 7/10 while Brothers Grimm hit "otherworldly." That gap in quality is why you're leaning toward sticking with the professional, boutique genetics going forward. 3/30 11:17PM Gelato 44 & Punch Pie were nice right off the tree the little buds put me right to sleep last night!! The Autos are 7-10 but the Photos are 8/10

Doing ok think I have a nutrient deficiency Going to increase the nutrients tomorrow The humidity is out of control. Just finished SuperBoof and will be moving the testers into the 2x4 after it’s sanitiz

The gutter hoe grow show powered by the viparspectra XS2000 is moving along. A couple of the plants started showing some nitrogen deficiency early in the week after the water change so I gave them a little maxigro. I'm not sure if the roots are running out of room or what is going on but the nutrient does aren't as efficient in this gutter compared to the dutch buckets. I suprecropped the crescendo to keep it even with the other plants. The cookies has strange looking buds on top. Not many pistils popping on it. Other than that the show will go on.....

El living la Vida chedda mother Fukin Bob 112 here wee fuking go usual rite troops need tae go see a man aboot a dug

harvested her 6/21/25 after 8 weeks flowering indoors and then 1 week in the outdoor sunshine. will update more with drying and curing and smoke report

One up!

Sunday last day of week 11 expecting to cut it down fed banana, molasses, and honey for a final flush with ice, Friday final ice flush. In the dark for 12 hours then cut down for harvest

Tomorrow harvest !!!!(79 days flower)

Very nice Plant, had problems while growing, but it was my mistake. Drying was no problem, great taste and smell.

Getting very tall, I thought this one would stay shorter?! This is my go-to night time pain relief with good sleep strain. She will be staying indoors for safekeeping so hopefully I can guarantee to have some flower from her.

good friends ... Good evening everyone! I was really shocked by the rarity of these sprouts! hard as diamonds and cold as ice! we will proceed with the usual drying in the dark with dry trim

She is looking abit jealousy you can tell she didn’t have time but she bouncing back to life now ive cleaned her and some defoliation and lets see how she will perform so far so good thou

~ DUTCH PASSION / SUPER SATIVA SEED CLUB FAST FLOWER 'TESTER' A and 'TESTER' B ~ Well cannafam, here we go again on another growing adventure together! This diary will be special to me for two reasons, one because I have the opportunity to cultivate some new and exciting strains from two of the TOP breeders in the industry! The second reason this will be special to me is that I will be growing these two strains in a brand new greenhouse that I put up! I'm super stoked to see how these two ladies turn out in this new setup. On to the strains: 'Tester' Strain A info: Hybrid (I/S) | 6-7 weeks flowering | Fruity, Sweet, Candy 'Tester' Strain B info: Indica-Dominant (90%) | 7 weeks flowering | Fruity, Peppery, Sweet I hope that you enjoy this run as much as I will... It's going to be fun and interesting for sure! ~GROW WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU GROW!~ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: These beauties will be growing in a brand spanking new 10x14' greenhouse that I have equipped with automatic window openers, a complement of Hurricane fans and a de-humidifier/heater to help keep the environment as dialed in as possible. I started both tester in glasses of tap water, where they soaked for 24hrs. After soaking, they were placed directly into whole eggshells with just their tops removed to make a natural seed starting pot that I filled with a 70/30 blend of Coco/Perlite which was pre-moistened with well water ph'd to 6.2, then placed under a 50w full spectrum LED on a 24hr light schedule. Once, they both have their second set of leaves emerged, I plan on starting to put them in the greenhouse for 2-3 hour a day for a few days to help them acclimate and 'harden off' in the greenhouse. I'll be starting both off in 1qt pots, then transplanting them into to gradually larger pots until they're around 6 weeks old, then they will go into their final pots which are 25g fabric pots. I mix my initial medium using 3 tbsp/g of Gaia Green Organics 4-4-4 along with 1 tbsp/g of Gaia Green Organics Glacial Rock Dust for the trace minerals it provides, 1 tbsp/g of Down To Earth Kelp Meal, 1 tbsp/g of Trichoderma/Mycorrhizae, and 1 cup/g of Wiggle Worm Castings. I hand mix my amendments to ensure an even distribution throughout the medium. I'll be watering with well water ph'd to 6.2-6.8 and providing bi-weekly compost tea's throughout the run. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 6/9- Here we go into the eighth week of vegetation for the two 'Testers' from Dutch Passion/SSSC and they are both growing fast and the 'Tester B' is getting tall! 6/11- Daytime temperatures outside are now hitting 90℉, and the greenhouse temps are pushing 100℉. I have plenty of air circulating using 4 fans and I'm probably going to put a shade tarp over the greenhouse if the weather continues to get any warmer. 6/13- Daily waterings continue with 2g of well water that is ph'd to between 6.2-6.7 @ 72℉ along with weekly Compost Teas. Despite the excessive heat, both 'Testers' have shown absolutely ZERO signs of any stress whatsoever which is a testament to the superior genetics in both! 6/15- Eight weeks of veg are in the rear view mirror and I'm looking forward to the coming weeks to see how these gorgeous ladies begin to slowly transition into their 'pre-flower' stage. I can't say how impressed I am with both strains vigor and resilience to stress that they have exhibited! Thank you for visiting my diary, I hope you will follow along and hope you enjoy what I do! Stay Blessed!😎💚

This week was fun, trimming my final product from my last grow was a pleasure, not a pain 🤓. It was very satisfying. Received my seeds early in the week and had to wait a few days to get everything cleaned and ready to go, again, didn’t seem like chores… I think I’m hooked! Started germinating Nov 13/am, tap roots poking out 24 hours later! I’ll wait till they are a bit larger to plant. I’ll be planting directly into 5 gallon fabric pots, no transplanting. **update** Germination- seeds were planted after 48 hours. 2 sprouted, 36 hours later, so Day 1 would technically be Wednesday,November 16th…One went down because of the fiend pictured…He’s been hanging out with me more and more in the grow spot, I’ve also been giving him leaves while I trim, when the plants are vegging… I had the tent open, and he came in a little hard to sniff and pulled one sprout right out, and before I realized what was happening, he swallowed it up with a quick lick of his nose… 🤦 Started two more Wednesday PM, both seeds popped, they were planted Friday PM, no sprouts yet… 😌 sigh…. in the meantime, I received my 5 gallon fabric pots, so we’re now running 3 AK-47 from Crop King Seeds, withe the upgraded pots 😊👍
