🌱 Week 4 Veg: Thriving Despite the Chill 🌟 As we close out Week 4 of veg, I couldn’t be more impressed with how resilient and strong the Zamnesia Runtz are growing! Despite the freezing cold temperatures outside—evident in some snapshots of my frosty mint plants in the veggie garden—these beauties are thriving in their cozy indoor setup. The Aptus Holland Nutrient Spray: A Deep Dive This week, I treated the Runtz to a refreshing shower with Aptus Holland’s nutrient spray, a game-changer in plant health and vigor. Let’s break it down: • What Is It? Aptus nutrient sprays are foliar feeds designed to deliver essential nutrients directly to the leaves. They provide immediate uptake, bypassing the roots and giving the plant a quick boost in vitality. • Why Use It? Foliar feeding is especially beneficial during veg because it enhances nutrient absorption and promotes lush, healthy foliage. It’s also a fantastic way to supplement nutrients if the roots are growing but not yet absorbing nutrients at peak efficiency. • What Does It Do? Aptus sprays improve plant metabolism, strengthen cellular structure, and boost resistance to environmental stresses—perfect for battling those colder temps! • How I Applied It I used a fine mist to ensure even coverage across all leaves, aiming for the undersides where stomata are most active. Afterward, the plants looked vibrant and energized, ready to keep pushing those gorgeous leaves. A New Partnership: Grove Bags and TerpLoc Technology I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership with Grove Bags! Known for their TerpLoc technology, these bags are a true revolution in cannabis storage and curing. • Why Grove Bags? Grove Bags are designed to create the perfect microclimate for cannabis. Their TerpLoc technology helps preserve terpenes—the essential oils responsible for the flavor, aroma, and effects of cannabis—by locking them in while allowing oxygen and moisture to escape. • How They Work TerpLoc bags combine several unique layers: • Moisture Control: Maintains ideal humidity levels to prevent over-drying or mold. • Oxygen Barrier: Blocks excessive oxygen exposure, which can degrade terpenes. • UV Protection: Shields the buds from harmful light that can alter their chemical composition. • Why This Matters For anyone who’s spent months cultivating a crop, ensuring the harvest cures and stores properly is the final crucial step. Grove Bags will play an essential role in preserving the quality and flavor of this Runtz grow, keeping the terps intact for that unforgettable smoke experience. A big thank you to Grove Bags for joining this journey. I can’t wait to showcase their role in the final stages of this grow! Photo Magic: Nikon P900 & Sony A6000 Capturing the Runtz in all their glory is part of the journey, and this week’s shots were nothing short of stunning. Using both the Nikon P900 and Sony A6000 allowed for crisp, detailed photos that highlight the beauty of these young plants. From their vibrant green tones to the intricate structure of their leaves, these images tell the story of strength and potential. Week 4 Veg: What It Means Week 4 in veg is a critical time in a grower’s journey. By now, the plants have developed a strong root system and are focusing on building structure. This is when: • Leaf Development Peaks: Bigger leaves mean more photosynthesis and energy production. • Growth Accelerates: Plants use this time to set the foundation for flowering, with nodes spacing out and stems thickening. • Preparation for Transplanting: Root systems are expanding, making it the perfect time to plan for a move into larger pots, as we’ll be doing next week! Looking Ahead Next week, the Runtz will graduate to larger pots—not their final AutoPot homes yet, but an essential step for continued growth. This transition will help the roots spread further, setting the stage for a thriving flowering phase. Community & Gratitude A huge thank you, as always, to my sponsors and supporters: • Aptus Holland • Pro-Mix Soil • TrolMaster Ecosystem • ThinkGrow LED • Future of Grow LED • CannaKan Germination Station • Zamnesia and Plagron for making this Eternity Cup journey so special • Ziggi Papers • And now, our newest partner: Grove Bags To the amazing Grow Diaries community, you continue to inspire me daily. I’ve been blown away by the incredible work and creativity I’ve seen in other diaries—it’s motivating and humbling all at once. Good luck to everyone; let’s make this journey one to remember! 💚 Final Thoughts From the frosty outdoors to the warmth of my grow room, these Runtz are proving their resilience and promise. Each week, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this strain, and the excitement for what’s to come keeps growing. Stay tuned for Week 5, where we’ll delve into the transplant process, nutrient updates, and more. Let’s keep learning, growing, and sharing the magic together!

As above, definitely the weaker Linda Seeds one (out of 5) but that's down to the weather - and not being able to control it like you would indoors.

OK hi growmies, I'm in to final flush week with purple lemonade. She looks and smells amazing so 7days until we cut her down :() Also wedding cheesecake coming along beautifully. Her aroma is amazing and creamy with the hint of cheese and I j8st cannot wait... i have a couple more weeks for her and Grape gushers... Next week i will have pics and videos or crop from purple lemonade 💜 Still will have curing process and final taste to show and describe. Shout out to these auto seed companies @420FASTBUDS @TASTEBUDZ

These girls are mostly doing amazing I had an issue where my pup came in to the greenhouse and lollipopped my GG4 but she stayed alive.

The Isla Mirage is out of controll i let some shoots grow into the light want to know how lightburn looks.

Day 50 and the plant seems to be growing healthy even though it's not stretching much my understanding is that this type of strain it is slow-growing type and require more of vegetable time than others plants flower seems to be developing fine but because there is a large difference in height between this girls and the other girls of my tent I had to introduce a regular light bulbs in there to try to address this not sure how is going to turn out but definitely I need more light in there and with the shut down everywhere not many places to Source out new equipment so have to do new ways to make it happen. Day 52 the plant seems to be responding well to the light bulb as well I how to do a little bit of defoliation to try to promote more light in there it is a very bushy plant. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Alright, so this girl is a little slow and she seems brittle, but i've just introduced some silica, so hopefully she beefens up a little.. Very unusual plant as you could see... thank you too @Grow4Releaf for the bean.. God bless everybody and Merry Christmas Christmas 🎄 🙏

Wow I say they are 13 foot tall some dank dank going on this year 🐜 killed one it was died and I pulled it up shit load ants stated coming out it was crazy but got cut for indoor this year and bad needing weed pulling going on crazy how sweet there smelling

Day 28 veg: All is going daily good with these 3 ladies from Exotic Seed. The burn in the leaves is from a treatment forbrhe horrendous fungus gnat issue that ibhad hoped to managed but they are winning. lol. I am daily spraying them with home made treatment of steeped tobacco and dish soap with bicarb of soda. I caught the leaves with aspray here and there leading to the discolouration and burn The Strawberry cola is doing well and forming a nice top cola with good height supporting side branching . hopefully I can keep them together as the canopy grows. There are hints of white hairs on the bracts so flowering is close. Herz O.g is a big lady so far .Her f.i.m went good and could benefit the end yield . Shebhas fairly wide spacing on her frame so far so I will have to watch the stretch carefully. White hairs at the bracts are showing her female gender through so another close to flowering. she will need some l.s.t to stay in good light. Monster Mash looks happy enough and is keeping pace with the others so far. let's see what next week reveals. be safe folks

The Strawberry Banana from canuk seeds is comming along great ending week 2 of flower she has been growing her buds pretty good so far an has been looking nice an healthy the hole time loving growing under her medic grow fold 6

Indoor bubatz gemütlich am blühen... die woche war im wachstum eher nix los... bisschen entlaubt und weiter wachsen lassen...schöne blüten verteilung... alles im rahmen ohne was zu meckern..schöne pflanze

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet .

Hihi , aber so hab ich mal das ganze auf Startsequenze gesetzt . Ich arbeite also noch daran diese Mischung aus BioBizz Light und Urgesteinmehl nach Schätzung zu meistern :)) Den Fakt ist , da ist viel zu viel Urgesteinmehl drinne , was auch die Vegiphase schon gezeigt hat.

📆 Semana 4 El estiramiento llega prácticamente a su fin y las plantas centran ya la mayor parte de su energía en la formación de flores. La estructura queda completamente definida, con una canopia uniforme que aprovecha al máximo la intensidad lumínica y favorece un desarrollo homogéneo de todos los sitios florales. Los cogollos comienzan a ganar volumen de forma visible, aumentando la producción de pistilos y el desarrollo de tricomas. La demanda de fósforo y potasio se incrementa progresivamente, mientras que el calcio y el magnesio siguen siendo fundamentales para sostener el intenso metabolismo y evitar carencias en las plantas de mayor vigor. ⚡ EC: 1.7–1.8 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Temp: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 45–50% 💡 Intensidad: 950–1050 PPFD 🔥 Nota de cultivo: La cuarta semana marca el inicio de la fase de engorde. Mantener un clima estable, una nutrición equilibrada y una iluminación uniforme permitirá que los cogollos comiencen a ganar densidad sin generar estrés, sentando las bases para una floración de máxima calidad. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Tag 75: Ich habe heute nicht geerntet weil ich mich verrechnet habe 😲

Lst wurde über die vegi weiter ausgeführt, Dünger anwedung ungefähr 60-70 % laut Tabelle.

Now we are going to week four, the plants have started to really vegetate, I have seen rapid growth in cannabis and other plants before, however, this strain is growing very large at a tremendous pace. I am having no issues so far, I am doing very light training and I started using pH down, as the plants ingest the nutrients the pH is rapidly rising. I hope to preserve perfect pH within the next week and continue on. I have been adding a gallon of water every three days to keep the reservoir at the right level. The plants are receiving a constant PPM of 400. Not only am I seeing five-finger leaves but I am also seeing seven-finger leaves. The plants are looking very healthy and there are no issues at all so far. I have Started to train the plants and started mainlining, I have also slightly defoliated the plant. This Plant is overgrowing the free seed from seedsmen. ( in hindsight I have never gotten any good free seeds from seedsmen) Science: There are a few ideas in this grow journal that I am toying with. The first idea is putting low-voltage conduction through the roots of the plants, I strongly believe that stimulating the the roots with electricity will induce larger and stronger vegetation. The other idea is blasting the plants with low decibel sound waves. We will see. There is another idea I have with string LED lights. However, I'm going to keep some of my secret sauce to myself.

Recién comenzando con automáticas ¿Una perdida de tiempo? Para muchos tirar automáticas es una perdida de tiempo y esfuerzo dada la facilidad con la que se estresan, sin embargo, no puedes esperar una producción superior sin hacer un cuidado adecuado. En este diario veremos que tan cierto es esto. Importante, no estoy afirmando bajo ningún caso que una semilla automática supera en producción a una feminizada, sin embargo, muchos afirman que la producción, el esfuerzo y el resultado de una semilla automática no se compensa para nada, sin embargo hay cultivadores que en dos meses consiguen producciones muy generosas de una planta automática . ¿Cuál es el secreto? Estrés... Lamentablemente son muy sensibles al estrés, pero si logramos controlar eso, deberíamos tener un resultado de otro nivel (El cual espero quede en evidencia en este diario). Sin mas que decir, los tendré al tanto de los avances de estas niñas
