Week 13 from Seed | Week 2 Flower - Eternity Grow Cup Update April marks a fresh beginning, a new season, and a new stage in our Eternity Grow Cup journey. While many celebrate April Fool’s, for me, this is a time of progress and transformation in the garden. 🌱( and yes i know i am a coupe weeks back on the dates in here, but today still the 1st of April so still new year to me ) This week, the girls are filling up their space beautifully. While I continue bending them to maximize coverage, they remain incredibly compact—short, strong, and resilient. No extreme stretching, just thick, vigorous plants showing their best potential. Each of the five ladies is looking absolutely stunning. TrolMaster Ecosystem in Action The full TrolMaster system is running smoothly, allowing for optimal environmental control. Currently, I am using full spectrum with the reds, but I have yet to introduce UV into the mix. The girls are responding well to the setup, and I’m loving how everything is coming together. Room Conditions PPFD: 750 Temperature: 26.6°C Humidity: 68.9% CO2 Levels: 1200 PPM The environment is staying in a great range, ensuring that the plants can thrive under perfect conditions. Reservoir & Soil Data pH: 5.97 (Holding steady at 5.8) Water Temperature: 18.7°C (Still a bit low—I need to make adjustments) Soil EC: 1.09 Soil Temperature: 21.8°C (Better, but aiming for 22-23°C) Humidity remains a crucial factor, even in flower, so I’m continuing to use humidifiers to keep the levels stable. The air is quite dry, but managing it properly is key to keeping the girls happy. A Look Into the Grow Space I’ve shared some full-room shots so you can all get a better idea of my workspace. Having an organized, clean, and efficient grow area is essential for a smooth and successful run. Let me know what you think of the setup! A huge THANK YOU to Zamnesia, Plagron, and Grow Diaries for making this contest possible. The competition is heating up, and I want to wish all the growers the best of luck in the Eternity Grow Cup!

Took them outside because it was a sunny week, looking good so far. I take them outside as much as I can because I'm still worried that the 10€ light bulb won't be enough powerful.

Following RQS auto guide : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-n83 WEEK 2: LATE SEEDLING STAGE #8 22.3. - #14 28.3. #8 22.3. - Canna PH- grow (and bloom) arrived today, mixed 6ml to 3liters and poured around the pots (hoping to get hum. up also) will see what it does and if the PH starts going down from the 7+ i can start adding smaller amounts. -Moved around the LEDlights (those have 'bout 2000LUX at plant level) so they are more along the tent walls. -Moved temp meter from lamp to plant levet (have now confirmed the lamps wont heat up too much under current air flow so its safe to stop monitoring heat source temps. -Removed the "glass" from 3in1 meter and the tape from the front, tested the luxes, still at few hundred, so i would guess the LUX meter in that cheap meter is BS!. Now the PH is way more visible in the camera when there is no screen reflection etc. Added pics of the luxes from android app, will receive the "real"meter possbl this week. -When i had tent door open and did the stuff mentioned above the temp dropped to about 13degrees, but now we are already back up at 23'c at plant level, so seems stat the current exh-fan rotation is good. -Plants emself have taken some sort of an growth spur 'cause just few days ago they seemed like they are not growing at all, and ow i can really see the difference and they are making next set of leafes, might be that the temps risen so they enjoy em self now way more - forgot to take new pics from the plants emself so will juts update pics from cam for now , at least there's been some change again. -Will try to remember take proper pics of the plants next time i visit the tent physically -Should remember to buy the "LST-wire" for training, would be good time to buy some eastern decorations fluffy wires. #9 23.3. -Noticed that the timelapse camera is getting thrown around as well as one LEDpanel, so went and tied em up to tent posts. -Added 1,5liters of water that had 6ml of PH- canna in it, and poured in to "middle corner" of every pot. -Tent was way more warm and moist inside then ever before, which is a good thing, im sure after the latest added water im getting there. -Ordered a RAM humidifier. And some nutes pack from bio-grow. -Updated "week2 timelapse" (Check 1st week for its timelapse) -Note to self: Take those damn "camera quality" plant pictures, you are supposed to...- #10 24.3. -Started small form of LST -Guess who forgot to take the closeup pictures... again... Well better luck next time :D -Added 5liter RAM humidifier, at lowest possible setting, so that the water would last longest -Added 1,5liters of water with BioBizz nutes that came today in mail, Alg-A-Mic, Root-Juice and Top-Max. -Added ScrOG, but obviously its now just tested that it fits and its hanging at the tent side. -Had to move the Fast Eddy a bit and make a "stand" for the humidifier. -Moved the other LED (2300lux) a bit further up, will have more effect when plants grow, and those can be had as a xtra lights. -Moved some wires around their sockets to get better fit for all connectors. -Adjusted the camera directions -Turned both fans to level 1 of 2 -exhaust fan still at about 50% timer on/off, that must been what caused the "wobbly"pictures in timelapse as the tent gained more vacuum inside which must have drawn in the walls a bit. #11 25.3. -Not sure if i did anything #12 26.3. -Water run out from humidifier -Added a pic of the day -Luxmeter arrived, didn't had time to install it yet, but tested and found working. #13 27.3. -Added Hydrometer -Filled humidifier -Poured 1liter of water with nutes -Added/moved LST's -Finally remembered to take the close up pics of the plants! wohoo. -After following the hums i think i might add exhaust flow as its also warmer outside so the tent can now take it #14 28.3. -Last day of #2 week -Did nothing, just watched em grow. -Water run out of hum. hum went from 65% to 45%

massive growth in this girl. i decided to flip them both cuz they are in a 2x2. trying to get 12 tops. 6.3 ph 1800 ppm run off. the one girl goy reckt by knats so her roots got stunted. haven't decide what to do. toped her and she grew strange. gonna bump up the lights a bit maybe she streached out to much. topped one last time in the 3 gal. cal mag and silica only for now.

Plants are going into flower. I took night time pics so you can see them sleep. They are a all looking great. This girl and her sister at the moment is 24 inches. Very nice branching on all three plants. I should defoleate and remove some of the bottom branches now.

Same as her sister, Compost tea for the first time, hope she gets better.

Aug 9: defoliated again to remove lower branches and shaded fan leaves that can prevent air circulation. She is doing great with the buds thickening fast. Starting to get smelly too. Got the UV lights out today. This helps Edmonton in August or September be more like California in June or July. Maybe not that effective but that’s the idea. Second year using the UV lights and worked great last year. Aug 10: UV lights going again today. Aug 13: rainy last few days. Shaking water off the buds periodically. Plant was up against house to protect from heavy rain and potential hail.

2 weeks left on the flush. Running water with addrd Hydro Bio. Ive been noticing very nice white root growth on my vegging area... And lots of it. Hoping these look good. But they were 3 or 4 weeks on the previous bleach sterilization test. Gorrilla. Glue #4, my next grow has been on it since day one. So subscribe to that grow.

Diese Woche war es eine Freude zu beobachten, wie sich die Blüten dieser schönen Pflanze strecken und aufeinander stapeln. Sie produziert Trichome und eine erste Vorstellung vom Geruch liegt in der Luft. Purple Punch Auto hat sich gut entwickelt, ich bin von der Streckung ziemlich beeindruckt. Etwa einen halben Quadratmeter braucht sie nach dem intensiven low stress Training der letzten Wochen. Alle Pflanzen berühren sich jetzt, es wird eng auf den knapp zwei Quadratmetern. Gegossen wird morgens und abends nach Topfgewicht und Gefühl, ca. 1,5 Liter in 24 Stunden säuft sie bei bis zu 30 Grad im Schatten.

12/09/2025 Last week of nutes and last week of real flowering. Both ladies look just about done. Papaya Cookies is nearly there. Lemon Cherry Cookies isn't too far behind either. But she definitely has the whole week plus a couple days to go. Papaya Cookies might be done by the end of the week, if not sooner. I might have to push her a little more so I can harvest them at the same time. I won't be changing out the water until after lights out as I always do. So today will just be a plain water top off. Well, that's been everyday for like 2 weeks. Lol. But, I noticed both ladies definitely didn't drink as much as usual last night. Another sign that they are almost done. Normally it's close to a gallon a day. This was about a half gallon. Anyway, I won't be recording the morning readings as the water will be changed out today. If it were under the normal night and day schedule, it would be easier to do this, but the AI suggested this time of day for lights out. It's warmer now than at night. Obviously. Lol. So now I have to wait for lights on after the plants have had their rest to change the water out. Then we can take readings. Next week, which will only be 3 or 4 days, I'll be doing a slow wet trim. Or I guess the defoliation I should have done 2 months ago. Anyway, I'll be pulling anything with a reachable stem. I won't be cutting the sugar leaves. That's after drying with my new cannabrush. We'll see how well this baby works. On a final note before lights out, Papaya Cookies has a few buds that are nearly done on the bottom and they are super hard. Really nice smalls. There's a bit of larf, and I can't really reach the buds in the middle, but they seem to be the ones taking the longest. So I think we'll be waiting for those ones to finish. Lemon Cherry Cookies is kind of the same. Lots of bud in the middle that I can't reach. They aren't done and still have loads while pistils. But the buds on top are still swelling, so that's a good thing. We'll definitely see some bigger buds from this little lady. Good afternoon everyone. It's 6:41pm. New water new nutes cut in half. Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 824 TDS: 409 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 874 TDS: 439 So it's 10 pm and I decided to check the pH and whatnot. It spiked to 6.8. What is happening? I cannot get it to stay in range. I don't know what to do here. It has to be something in the roots. I wonder if it's my tap water. It seems to have worsened since I started using it, but I can't afford distilled bottles. I will be ordering distilled for the 3 day flush. But that's only 3 days and I'm saving up for it. Back to the matter at hand. pH spiking. Both plants. The EC and TDS also increased. Not by much, but still increased. The goal is to decrease. Hopefully, with the lower nutes, the roots or whatever gets diluted enough to slow everything down. They're already not drinking as much. So there's very little time. I wanted to get it corrected by today. But nope. Nothin doin. Well, I guess I'll be checking the pH tomorrow morning and changing the water out. I might have to change it in the morning and after lights out. We shall see. If it drops, I'm going to pH it back to 5.8 and leave the water alone. That's the plan. 12/10/2025 So today I checked the readings like everyday. BUT today my back is killing me and I can't lift the shit. It's really annoying. So frustrating. Anyway, Lemon Cherry Cookies didn't change one bit overnight. pH is still at 6.8. the EC and TDS are also in roughly the same spot. But she did drink about a half a gallon and there was no change, so that's good. No increase in nutrient concentration. But the pH man, the pH is brutal. Papaya Cookies dropped her pH down to 6.6, so that's good. Not in range, but still good. Her EC and TDS are also about the same. So same situation but a lower pH. So I popped 3 ml of pH down in and mixed it up. Half gallon went into each container. It did nothing to Lemon Cherry Cookies. The pH stayed the same. But the EC and TDS dropped a little. Papaya Cookies with the gallon, dropped down to 6.2 and the EC and TDS dropped a little bit as well. Readings: Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.74 EC: 922 TDS: 465 Papaya Cookies: pH: 6.5 EC: 867 TDS: 430 Forget everything you just read. LMAO. The numbers increased. I guess it's just a waiting game now. I'm gonna pH the water for both ladies after lights out. This morning I just added the plain pHed water. And not much happened. It's the roots. Gotta be. There's nothing left to look at. Well there's the tiny dose of nutes, but I don't think that's the problem. It could also be from the water itself. It's pretty hard. But I have no idea what to do about that. Is there a water softener that can be used in a bucket? Or would that be a really bad idea? Also, I just thought about this yesterday when I was removing Lemon Cherry Cookies from her bucket into the reserve for the water swap. As we all know, the tail of the roots is super long. So I have to lift it with my hands out of the water. My question is why didn't it ball up like Papaya Cookies? I think they have the same amount of roots, but Papaya Cookies has an actual ball where Lemon Cherry Cookies has a tail and smaller root ball. What gives? Anyway, that was my weekly WTF question. Next week it's gonna be something like why won't this carboflush work? Should I add more? Should I swap out the water... Again?... You know. I'm implementing Murphy's Law here. What can go wrong will go wrong. LMAO. It's all good. I'm preparing for that exact question. I bet it's gonna be increasing EC and TDS levels. That's gonna be the problem. And no idea how to solve it. Swap out the water every few hours? That's crazy. Maybe one or two swaps every day, but not every few hours. A waste of carboflush and water. So I'm super concerned with who will finish first. Papaya Cookies looks like she could be done by the end of the week. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like she could use the whole week and then some. I know I said this last week, but it is a real concern. And I still have nowhere to put the other tent. But it's only for a few days and not an entire week. Well, hopefully not an entire week. I have to trim in the tent so I can kinda keep the smell concealed. The fan on level 10 with just a side door open should be fine. Plus, I'm only taking off the sugar leaves at that point. So it should be a little faster with this brush thing and less smell will escape. Oh, I'll be using Grove Bags for the curing process. I really do like them. But I still need to add a Bovida pack because of the dry winter air. 12/11/2025 Morning readings after correction. Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.95 EC: 763 TDS: 381 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 946 TDS: 473 I got a couple trichome videos posted for everyone to see. I actually haven't watched them yet, so I'll update shortly. But in bigger news. I found a full fledged flower on Lemon Cherry Cookies this morning. Complete with 1 seed. Then I found a bud with 3 seeds. Not developed yet, but there nonetheless. So that explains why she's taking longer to finish up. I'm hoping it was isolated and those are the only ones. I looked all through the bottom where I found the 2 sites. I think I found one more, but I left it alone. My question is, if I clear out the seeded sites, will the plant mature faster? Good question right?! Because what I read was that seeded cannabis plants will take longer to mature because of seed production, as seeds take 6 to 8 weeks to mature.i had a gorilla cookies that went for like 21 weeks because it got seeded everywhere. No clue how, I never found the pollen sacks. But that plant was super healthy and HUGE. Well huge for an Autoflower in a 3x3 tent with 3 more plants in there. Anyway, I'll definitely have to bring out the 2x2 now. As I said, I have trichome videos and I haven't seen them yet. But I have a feeling that Papaya Cookies is just about finished. As in I could probably start the flush this weeks as I suspected. We'll see though. Oh speaking of healthy plants. Lemon Cherry Cookies is also still unhealthy. I spoke too soon. Still locked out and now more leaves are turning yellow. The weird thing is, I added a very small amount of nutrients. How there's still an issue I don't know. I guess just wait longer? 🤔 Ok, so I just watched both videos. Lemon Cherry Cookies definitely has more time to go. The trichomes are mostly clear toward the middle of the plant. So she definitely has more time to go. Hopefully with any luck, she'll mature by the end of the week. Papaya Cookies has almost all cloudy trichomes. I like a bit of amber in the mix and there is none. So I'm going to wait for Sunday I think then start flushing her. I'll flush for 3 days. So that will be finished on Tuesday. And that's when I should be able to start flushing Lemon Cherry Cookies. Then I chop Papaya Cookies and hang her up. At the same time, I do a 3 day dark period for Lemon Cherry Cookies while she finishes up. In the meantime, Papaya Cookies is happily drying right above her. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to work the environment. I'm thinking I can just keep the temp at around 66° and bring the humidity up to 50% I think that's good. I have to look into it. But it's only for a few days and there's still plenty of airflow. I will be turning 1 fan off though. As to not disturb Papaya Cookies while she dries. Plus I don't need 2 fans for 1 plant this size. So yah, that's my plan. And as long as it works I'm good to go. If it doesn't work, I'll have to bring out the 2x2 and hook it up to the 3x3 and use that exhaust to pull from the tent. I have an extra fan so I can run that as well. For air circulation. Not too sure how I'm gonna keep the humidity up in there. Hmmmm. That's not good. I can definitely keep the temp low, but the humidity is super dry here right now. Well, it'll be 3 days in the 3x3 drying so if the 3x3 isn't ready for both plants to dry, the 2x2 will only be used for like 7 days. With a 10 day dry, that is. I'd rather not rush the drying time. Although, if I can't figure out the humidity, I may be rushing it quite a bit. Like in a very bad way. So I hurt my back and am having trouble even checking the readings. Hopefully it's not all messed up. Also, I've been thinking. Both plants have nutrient lockout. Would it make sense to start flushing Papaya Cookies like tomorrow? She only has about a week left. 12/12/2025 Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.5 EC: 731 TDS: 364 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 877 TDS: 438

were getting close to harvest. lowerd light levels again, around ppfd 600 now. The Buds have an insane smell of fruity/sour sweets.

All of the girls are growing nicely, except for one of the fast buds mystery autos Apple strudel #1 Training up to be very easy. Most of the branches are long enough for me to stretch out and take up more surface area of its pot. Apple strudel#2 About a week and a half ago he got the bottom part ate up By ants or some other bug. So I topped this plant as to make more tops And hopefully bring back the nodes that I lost Sweet skunk a little bit smaller than the rest, but it is also younger though I am kind of going for a bonsai style with this plant. I don’t believe it’s gonna be super large but hopefully I can make it look cool. It does have some decent branch areas where they are stretching Mystery auto #1 plant is growing up with a beautiful structure for the most part I have grown naturally without much interference. Occasionally I hold down the top with a garden staple to let the lower branches get some light and to give the plant some healthy LST, once the branches get longer will hopefully be able to stretch it out even more!!

Start 25/10/2024 Harvest Day 74 - 06/01/2025 92 cm jet fuel was the taller No flush, flawless finish 2 ml a week an half before harvest then just watering with pH 8. Smelling exactly as described in Sweet Seeds site, a fruits explosion, special thanks! They sent me a lot of free stuff Thanks! Also thanks to Grow Diaries as my best professor ever...and obviously all of you sharing your magic experience, see ya next two weeks maybe

new. Lets get frosty

I had never done such extreme defoliation, I feel nervous to see the result, I hope this technique helps to increase the growth of flowers and not make it slower.

Plants were watered on day 4 of week 9, as follows: Lucy: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.27, Height: 22 in. Herbert: 1.25 gallons water, pH: 5.77, Height: 24.5 in. ***Both fed nutrients - 5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 7 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 1 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash) Plants were watered on day 5 of week 9, as follows: Thin Mint Sr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.76, Height: 20 in. Thin Mint Jr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.50, Height: 19.5 in Notes: Thin Mint Jr has nutrient burn and so was NOT fed nutrients today. Thin Mint Sr was fed nutrients at 50% strength 2.5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 4 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 0.5 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash) (both plants still in nutrient distress - in process of recovery but have some new growth that is greener so improvement is being observed; slowly but surely!) ***Plants ideally would have been transitioned to the flowering phase this week, but due to nutrient deficiencies and nutrient burn on Thin Mint Jr., we are holding off on this transition for 1 week to give the plants a chance to recover from stress.

Another week done. Final selection of the 3 phenotypes I found in a 10 seed run of the f4's. I am pretty confident I'll be carrying on the dark purple/red male since heavy anthocyanins production is what I was hunting for in this particular venture. Will be collecting pollen as I'm doing a good job keeping humidity low in the grow room so should be pretty viable. Will be crossing this into my winner from the ethos hash plant run as well as the rainbow belts
