Doing a little training LST Defoliation and toppping

Week 3. Last Defoliation and LST.

Tak 9 týden květu.😁Už začínám pro sichr kontrolovat mikroskopem ,ale zatím je čas.? Čtvrtek zalito jen voda. Neděle zálivka dle foto je to na 10 litrů.Ještě to bude chvíli trvat ?tak ať nestrádají 😁

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

2 Pheno still in veg living da solo cup life

🌾 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.

Se cambian de hogar las nenas, a un espacio mas grande de 170cm x 70cm aprox. Le aumento la potencia de luz a 320w. Se ven hermosas y los riegos se hacen mas frecuentes.

Defoliated all around tops to bring the main canopy of fan leaves below this (at strip level). Hoping this results in light reaching all parts of all available bud sites. Fingers crossed! This girl is a beast. I've read this strain can be problematic but I've not noticed any issues whatsoever. Been an absolute beauty to grow and I hope she turns out good in all aspects as I'll be preserving the pheno if so.

Forte odeur de fruits exotique se dégage de ces dames, elle sont bien givré etle rinçage a commencé.

Der Stretch zeigt sich und die ersten Haare sind auch schon da. In dieser Woche nochmal entlauben und in der nächsten Woche ein kleines Lollypopping. Soweit bin ich zufrieden.

Day 63 - Flowers just starting. They're looking nice. Through the week I've chopped quite a few leaves off her to allow light penetration.

Last few weeks...should be ready to flush now... Full nuts feed - day 1 Onwarrd will be sugar based water and flush only

About this diary> So I've made it to the end! This baby didnt die on me! This diary was half a record for myself, to keep improving and contrasting against my future grows in and out of this wonderful platform (growdiaries), and half a tutorial for other noobs like me. That's why I wrote somewhat long explanations about some of the things I myself found confusing during this and last grow. I also repeated myself, but again mostly because I was trying to learn while doing. I got some help from other growers in the community, which was very nice, and different from trying to figuring out everything by oneself. This girl stretched a lot! from about 30 cm at the end of flower to about 90 cm before harvest, it survived nutrient burn, an accident were I dropped something heavy on her on flower, accidentally chopping a branch during LST and spider mites. However, still yielded nicely. I cant imagine what these genetics could become in the hands of a master grower!! About the growing conditions> The idea of the grow was, not only to learn how to grow a somewhat long flowering strain (6 week veg, 10 weeks flower) but also doing it very cheaply. I think the most expensive thing I bought was the seed from RQS. I built my own light fixture (from 4x 4.00CAD COBs from aliexpress), some cardboard, wire, sticks, tape and aluminum foil. I also used dollar store nutrients (like 15% of a 15-15-15 veg mix, and a 15-30-15 flowering mix). I timed this strain to finish a few weeks before the temperature really starts dropping outside, and was always able to keep it around 20-29C without any air conditioner/heater. About growing amnesia haze> I harvested this plant on the early side, but I found it a challenge not to harvest earlier! Since many weeks ago the delicious smell has been filling the room and some parts of the house... Plus, its a long wait... However, I think it was very well rewarded :) As I said, the high is creative, giggly, energetic and uplifting, at least from the premature samples we got. I will update this once the real deal is dry and cured :) About the harvest> Well in terms of numbers, I will update this when the weed is done drying, but I can do an estimate right now... each sample I took weighted about 1.45g wet, and dried to a 25% of that (0.35 g each)... It means that what I weighted from the harvest (412.86g + a bunch of trim) would probably weight about 100g when dry... Let's see how it goes in a week or two :)

Servus Moin! Die Black Orchard macht sich wieder besser. Die gestressten Blätter habe ich entfernt. Jetzt steht sie gleich wieder besser da.

Es geht in die Endphase, mein Handy stürzt ständig ab und ich bekomme nicht anständig hoch geladen, aaaber ich habe endlich eine vollständigen grow. OHNE meine üblichen Komplikationen, keine Samen, keinen nutrientbranding/-nockout, lichtbrand oder Schimmel, sowie Bananas und das ist für mich mein grösster persönlichlichster Erfolg und das trotz der zwittrigen Eigenschaften die nachgesagt wurden. Ich habe viele nette Menschen kennenlernen dürfen, sehr geduldige, freundliche und zuvorkommende hilfsbereite Mitmenschen, anders als in meinem persönlichen Umfeld, wo Cannabis absolut Tabu ist. Ich habe und hatte eine schwierige Zeit und durch das growen habe ich eine andere Seite an mir gefunden, die mir sehr gefällt und die mich sehr entspannt. Und um es einmal offen auszuschreiben.... Ich bin keine Konsumentin, ich liebe dennoch den Geruch, ich habe Angst vor den Nebenwirkungen aufgrund von Teenager- und familiären Erfahrungen. Ich bin für die Entkriminalisierung und Legalisierung. Und verstehe einiges nicht. Mir ist ein Zweig abgeknickt, dass habe ich genutzt um vorab zu testen... Dieser hatte keine vernünftige Spülung bzw. ist es während der ersten Spülung geschehen und somit nicht "rein", wog zuerst gute 45g zwei Tage später schon nur 22,5g und weitere 2 Tage ca. 12,2g einen Tag danach entschied ich mich die kleinen Buds vom Ast zu entfernen und separat zu wiegen, der Ast wog immer noch satte 2g und die Buds nach Schnitt ca 8,5g . Ein ernüchterndes Ergebnis. Ich lebe in Deutschland und die Regeln sind klar pro Person im Haushalt bei 50g und das Wunschdenken der Regierung ist, mit einer Faustformel, die mir nicht bekannt ~ wegen uninteressant, schon im nassen Zustand berechnet werden und entsorgt werden soll. Es werden weder die Äste noch schnibbelzeugs berücksichtigt abzuziehen und diese 8,5g waren immer noch nass und es sollte besser an den vollständigen Zweigen trocknen um ein ordentliches und natürliches Ergebnis zu erzielen. Meiner Meinung nach... Ich habe in den letzten zwei Jahren sehr viel lernen dürfen und können und bin sehr dankbar dafür und vieles wünschte ich viel früher. Nun denn wir sind jetzt beim spülen 😁 im ersten Durchgang habe ich das Zelt durchflutet und wand mich an die community und durfte feststellen, dass die entweder Herkules sind oder schlicht und einfach einfach ~ Handtuch daneben und fertig. Sind wahrscheinlich eher die kleinen Töpfe, aber bei 30 Liter oder wie in manchen Videos mit 75 Liter oder mehr? Kann niemand wirklich beantworten 😂 zum Glück hatte ich noch den Eimer für die Erde zum mischen und auch noch leer, einen Pflanzentopf verkehrt herum zur Erhöhung und wegen den Löchern hinein gestellt und Titania oben drauf. Ich hätte die nie im Leben durch die Wohnung tragen können um die in der Badewanne zu spülen, geschweige denn danach wieder unversehrt in den anderen Raum. Ich habe das Wasser auch abgelichtet, da man dort excellent sehen kann, wie die Salzkristalle sich gelöst haben und ich konnte beobachten, wie es von mal zu mal weniger wird und das Wasser auch klarer wurde. Ein faszinierender Prozess und ich verstehe immer mehr von dem, was ich zuvor gelesen und gelernt hatte in der Theorie zur Praxis. Titania unbeschadet auf ihren Untersetzer zu stellen war von der Situation weitaus besser als bei der ersten Spülung, wo ich nicht hinterher kam, zumal die fummelei mit dem Handy um Video zu machen auch nicht ganz unschuldig war 😂. Titania hatte sehr viel getrunken und machte nach drei Tagen jeweils den Topf vollständig trocken, zu meiner Bewunderung, das hatte ich bei allen anderen Durchgängen zuvor noch nie. Flawless Finish sollte exakt auf 7ph sein und ich habe es auf die vollständigen 40 Liter eingesetzt um nicht nachlässig zu werden. Es war auch das erste Mal, dass ich mich auf das Messgerät verlassen habe. Perfekt. Ich musste mit 4 Stangen Titania fixieren, da sie wie wüst quer und nach unten hing und ich nicht wollte, dass noch mehr Zweige abbrechen. Nachdem dann das Licht ausging, als der Topf beim zweiten Spüldurchlauf trocken war, hatte ich die Stecker gezogen und zwei Tage das Licht ausgelassen, ehe ich sie aus dem Topf geschnitten habe, aber auch alles im dunkeln, sowie es ging. Mein Handy habe ich versucht sehr dunkel zu machen und von YouTube im Vollbild grünes Licht zu simulieren, um die nicht zu stören und die Terpene zu zerstören. Ich habe mal gelesen, dass man vor Sonnenaufgang ernten sollte, da ist das THC am höchsten und wenn "Sonnenuntergang" ist es niedrigsten. In den ersten vier Wochen geht der Wert nach der Ernte wieder runter und danach wieder hoch, also, wenn ich es dann richtig verstanden habe, ist der beste Reifegrad bei richtiger Lagerung nach ca. acht Wochen der Ernte und dem Curing. Das möchte ich auf jeden Fall ausprobieren. Mein Freund hat einen kleinen Bud probiert und meinte, dass Titania Erdig schmeckt, nicht kratzt und sehr müde macht, die komplette Mischung von den drei Tyson-Sorten von Royal Queen, aber wie beschrieben, es war der Bud der nicht ordentlich gespült und getrocknet ist, dadurch erhoffe mir noch mehr vom Ergebnis und ich weiß, dass da nichts gefuscht oder gestreckt wurde, vllt probiere ich es dann einmal selbst vor dem schlafen gehen und meine Albträume finden endlich ein Ende. Meine Titania ist seit dem 01.Oktober in der Erde gewesen, also doch noch etwas länger in der vegetativen Phase. Um das Sylvesterwochenende in die Blüte Phase .... Samstag war die letzte Spülung, Dienstag, ging das Licht aus Donnerstag spätabends dann aus dem Topf und heute vom Korpus um der Schimmel Gefahr entgegenzuwirken, da die doch sehr dicht aneinander hingen und kaum Luft dazwischen konnte... Den Titanen Korpus habe ich dann mal kräftig durch gebadet und von der Erde befreit, jetzt ist er wieder im Wasser, da er doch noch saftig grün ist, vllt mache/schaffe ich noch eine Art Bonsai mit Ihr. Hier bei GrowDiary gibt es bei manchen Einstellungen gewisse Schwierigkeiten, deswegen ist es nicht ganz genau dokumentiert, da es just for fun ist, ist es nicht ganz so wild. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn Happy Grow 💪🏼💚

Look really niice

Hello everyone, the plants are still very good, no deficiencies in sight and canopee rather homogeneous. the stretch is soon over and I'm going to be able to stop the growing fertilizer, for which is knitting, I finished and let nature now play ... Now place to photos ...
