Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

Day 10 - 2 inches tall seedling. 3rd set of leaves. 4th set emerging from center. PPM 268 2 mL CalMag 4 mL Micro Grow Bloom B52 Voodoo Tarantula Piranha Rhino Skin Sensizym and Bud Candy. Day 12 - Checked PPM 255. First visible roots sticking out from netpot. Plant is green and happy. Added 2 mL CalMag PPM 300. Day 14 - Checked PPM 268. Raised bucket and plant. Light is 26 inches from top of plant. Adjusted light duration to 20 hours on and 4 hours off. Half a dozen roots sticking out from bottom of netpot. 3rd set of leaves have 5 fingers. I believe this means its no longer a seedling. Now entering VEG.

she smells so good I cant wait to chop her down. thinking about chopping her on monday, the 13th so I can have a little smoke of her on 4/20 possibly. seeing amber trichomes on the cola leaves and they are starting to turn amber elsewhere too. only will gain maturity when she drying

Hello:) The plants are progressing nicely. The wasabi is almost ready but the sangrias need at least one more week. Let‘s hope the wasabi won‘t be too much overripe by then:) Sadly the red/purple buds don‘t seem to spread more to the top buds, I suspect that the temperature difference between day and night is not enough, let‘s see if they get more color this week. I plan to harvest between the 18.11-22.11 if the sangrias are ready, the wasabi will have to hang in there:)

--- **Semaine 4 : Quatrième Semaine de Floraison (11-17 mars 2026)** ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine On entre pleinement dans la **phase bulk** (gonflement massif des buds). Transition douce du steering génératif vers steering végétatif : runoff légèrement plus élevé, dry back réduit (15-20 % VWC), irrigations un peu plus fréquentes et VWC plus stable. **Pourquoi ce changement ?** Le steering génératif des semaines 1-3 a forcé le stretch final et initié la densité des buds via un stress hydrique contrôlé. En phase bulk, le steering végétatif maximise l’absorption des nutriments, l’expansion cellulaire et le volume des fleurs sans limiter la prise de poids. GrowOps IA confirme cette transition (alertes VWC + VPD). **Petit cours éducatif : Nouvelles feuilles et petites têtes qui poussent sur les fan leaves** Ce que tu observes (« feuilles qui poussent sur les feuilles » + petites têtes sur fan leaves) est un phénomène de croissance très vigoureuse, parfois appelé « leaf-on-leaf growth » ou expression locale de foxtailing sur le feuillage. Au lieu de se concentrer uniquement sur les buds, la plante, boostée par le steering végétatif + Sugar Royal + PK 13-14 + Green Sensation + enzymes, produit de nouvelles petites feuilles (et parfois de minuscules structures florales) directement sur les grandes fan leaves existantes. C’est **positif** ici : signe d’énergie abondante, bonne uptake et santé excellente. La génétique Sticky Broccoli (indica-dominante mais vigoureuse) peut exprimer cela en bulk quand les conditions sont optimales. Contrairement au foxtailing stressé (trop de chaleur/lumière), celui-ci reste modéré et accompagne un bon gonflement des buds. On laisse généralement évoluer (ça augmente la photosynthèse locale), mais on surveille pour éviter un excès qui pourrait diluer l’énergie des fleurs principales. ### Observations des Plantes - **Jour 43-45 (11-13 mars) :** La plus belle plante passe de 1m20 à **1m40** haut × 60 cm large (l’autre ~95×50 cm). Apparition de nouvelles petites feuilles et structures sur les fan leaves, en plus du gonflement visible des buds. Pistils blancs abondants, résine précoce brillante. - **Jour 46-47 (14-15 mars) :** Croissance bulk forte (+4-6 cm/jour). Canopée dense, clones enracinés 70 % (prêts au repiquage). Ajout Sugar Royal + PK 13-14 : réponse explosive (vigueur accrue). - **Jour 48-49 (16-17 mars) :** Plantes en pleine forme, zéro pest, zéro signe de stress, carence ou excès. Vert profond, santé excellente. Steering végétatif visible : buds plus charnus et densification en cours. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (Analyse TrolMaster + GrowOps) Graphs très stables (14-15 mars). CO₂ enrichment actif (900 ppm jour / 500 nuit). - **Température (°C) :** Moyenne Jour 23.4 °C | Nuit 20.4 °C | Max Jour 25.5 °C | Min Jour 19.6 °C - **Humidité (%) :** Moyenne Jour 64.27 % | Nuit 60.37 % | Max Jour 70 % | Min Jour 60.6 % - **PPFD :** Moyenne Jour 756.9 (max 837) - **DLI :** ≈ 32.7 mol/m²/jour (optimal bulk) - **VPD :** Moyenne Jour 1.03 kPa (stable et idéal) - **EC tank :** 2.5-3.5 mS/cm | pH 5.9-6.0 | Runoff EC ~2.0-2.5 / pH ~5.7 - **Soupe :** NPK de base + CalMag + Silice + Enzymes Plagron + Green Sensation + **Sugar Royal** + **PK 13-14**. Eau à 20 °C. - Irrigation : Transition végétatif, dry back 15-20 %, VWC plus stable. ### Problèmes et Ajustements Aucun problème. Plantes saines, GrowOps IA optimise sans intervention. Ajustements : Intégration Sugar Royal + PK 13-14 + monitoring de la nouvelle croissance sur fan leaves. ### Plans pour la Semaine 5 - Légère défoliation (retrait branches basses inutiles). - Maintenir steering végétatif + ajustement PK si besoin. - Évaluer clones + nouvelles photos buds. - Surveiller l’évolution sur les fan leaves (rester modéré). Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 --- Je suis désolée pour la qualité des photos, je ne peux malheureusement pas déplacer les plantes pour les isolé et faire de jolis photos, elles sont sous 2 trellis de tuteurage donc impossible a déplacer

Most of them are displaying male characteristics unfortunately. Got the two females and the three that haven't developed sex organs mainling in my greenhouse as of may 26th. Haven't put a grow light on them yet but I should be able to set that up this week

🍀25/04 - Empieza su primer semana en etapa de crecimiento. 🍀Por el momento viene de manera correcta sin ningún inconveniente. 🍀El Ph ya se lo estoy empezando a modificar en 6.3. 🍀Lo que pude notar es que de un día para el otro la plantula creció bastante, se encuentra tupida y bastante grande para los 20 días que tiene de vida. 🍀Los tres fertilizantes que utilice se los agregue directamente en el agua (1L) y la regué. 🍀Tengo pensado dejarla cinco semanas en total en esta etapa, así puede desarrollarse de manera correcta. 🍀En estos dias subiré más imágenes! Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg !😶‍🌫️☘️

[Day 10] 7/07/21 periodically playing various music and nature sounds, adding more crystals and just watching the plants grow...👽 [Day 11] 7/09/21 lowered the lights from 30" to 24" - 21,000 lux [Day 12] 7/10/21 lowered the lights from 24" to 14" - 35,000 lux

hey all! the weeks are coming slowly to an end and the harvest will in 1 week i think so i will keep you guys updated because i'm ready to press those trichome buds into good fresh rosin and then decarb the rosin for a better viscosity and fill it into vapes at the end 😎🙌 i also did some defoliation so the light comes more down for the last week! happy growing all! 💚✌️😎

Going along nicely here bigger plants are starting to flower will get younger plants topped by end of

super healthy!! 🌱🌱🌱🌱

They were heavy when I took them out to hang dry. Not sure what I would yield at all, I will definitely get a dry weight.

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3 D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. 🙏🙌 Praise be to Swerve 👑, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

Good start to the week, of course it's only been the first day. Got the humidity up with a new humidifier and all has been great for a couple days. "Plant Success Revolution: Great White" Is in, so that'll be used once I repot as an inoculant as well as a root dusting. Depending on the growth of the plants over the next couple days to a week, I'll be repotting this week or next week sometime. Updates as they come; of course. - This prior week's timelapse will be up tomorrow. -2/23/2021 Gave a foliar spray of kelp extract right before lights out, the morning of 2/24 I noticed gray/white staining on the leaves where the droplets were. Will keep an eye on it. -2/24/2021 Carl 2 looks to be experiencing a deficiency, perhaps a nitrogen deficiency. Slight yellow mottling of the lower leaves. As with the spots, will keep my eye on it. -2/25/2021 Carl 2 is certainly experiencing what I believe is a nitrogen deficiency. Will be feeding properly next watering. -2/25/2021 Additionally, Carl 2 has definitely been helped by the kelp. It's almost the size of the plant that had been larger before and hadn't been sprayed with the kelp foliar. -2/26/2021 All plants were root drenched with some Great White Mycorrhizae - Should be fun too see how this plays out. The feed concentration in the "nutrients" section is NOT accurate. I put a light dusting into the sprayer. -2/28/2021 - Significant growth from all plants, seems the kelp and the GWM are doing their jobs.

signs of plant feeding errors appeared, but generally within normal limits i think. the bumps get fat. and they seem very tasty.

😅 Another Hot Week 🌶️🌶️🌶️ High temperatures 🌡️🌡️🌡️and lots of sun 🌞🌞🌞 and no rain 🌧️ ➡️ Nice plants, but not that potent. The scent is fruity but not that strong ➡️ Just a little water at the beginning of the day 💧💧💧 📍 Plant #1 (147cm) is the biggest plant but the buds are not that big. Orange pistils 📍 Plant #2 (130cm) is the second biggest plant. Also her buds are not that big. Orange pistils 📍 Plant #3 (117cm) is the smallest plant, but she has the fattest buds. She had beautiful pink pistils in the first weeks of flowering, but they turned orange as well Eight week of Light Deprivation 👉👉👉👉Every morning at 9:00 am I move the plants to the greenhouse. 👉👉👉👉Every evening at 9:00 pm I move the plants (together with some other strains) inside the growroom (which I don't use in the summer)
