🌾 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.

Hello everyone, I'd like to thank Plagron, as I was one of the 42 people randomly selected to win! A flowering pack and congratulations on my ranking in the Growdiaries Cup! I also want to welcome the new members who are following me. Ts week, starting yesterday, I repotted my plants. For the first time, I'm going to use geotextile pots. I enriched my Plagron potting mix with only natural products to encourage microbial life and maintain and enrich it. The fertilizers and additives I use are specifically designed for this purpose. The most important thing is to water with either filtered water or water that has been left to settle for at least 48 hours to remove all chlorine. To protect everything, I'm using hemp sativa mulch, which will retain moisture and gradually release nutrients. For enrichment, I simply add nutrients to promote life and avoid raising or lowering the soil pH. My potting mix recipe To begin, I fill my pot completely with 13 liters of potting soil, which I then pour into my mixing basin. I line the bottom of my pot with clay pebbles. I add: _WORMBRICOMPOST 30 g Growth, flowering Worm compost has a fine, crumbly texture and is rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other beneficial microorganisms for plants. Its use improves soil quality, promotes plant growth, and contributes to environmental conservation by reducing organic waste. _BIOCHAR 10 g Biochar improves the diffusion and availability of nutrients in the soil and provides favorable conditions for the development of microorganisms. Biochar can be introduced into a wide variety of soils. It is particularly effective in poor, difficult, and acidic soils. _MEALWORM GUANO 10 g This intense bio-activation will make such a diverse range of fresh nutrients available to your plants that it is currently technologically impossible to name and count them all. _CHABASITE ZEOLITH 10 g Zeolites are crystalline rocks with particularly high adsorption capacities for pollutants found in water and certain liquids, as well as in air and gases. They are extremely porous, like activated carbon, and can be electrically charged to act as ion exchangers. Karanja Seed Cake - NPK 4.4/5.2/2 Growth 10g Karanja seed cake is an absorbent (clay-humic) complex that strengthens and stimulates soil microbial life. Rich in nutrients, it allows for slow and gradual nitrogen assimilation, ensuring a consistent supply. Volcanic Basalt 10g Volcanic basalt has a porous structure that retains water and promotes soil aeration. This helps maintain a good moisture balance and encourages soil microbial life, with a proliferation of beneficial bacteria and fungi. Furthermore, volcanic basalt is rich in nutrients such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. These nutrients are made available to plants and soil microorganisms, which can promote plant growth and development, as well as humus production. _Monster Mix Soil 33g from Zamnesia _Guano Diffusion - Guanodiff Classic 10g Guanodiff Classic has a balanced nitrogen/phosphorus ratio (NP 3.5-8.5), which is ideal for continuous growth and effective root development. Its fast-acting formula provides benefits for 8 weeks. _Guano Diffusion - Bat Guano Bloom 10g Bat Guano Bloom NPK 3-6-10 has been specially formulated to support successful flowering and fruiting. Rich in bat guano and combined with beet molasses extracts, this 100% natural fertilizer improves both organoleptic properties and yield. _1 tablespoon of dolomite lime (calcium and magnesium supplement) _2 g of Rizobacter _2 g of Tricoderma _3 handfuls of perlite AND ABOVE ALL, A GOOD MIX TO MAKE EVERYTHING. I put this mixture back into my pots and add a hemp mulch. I set everything up in my largest grow tent and install my lamp at 60 cm and 75% brightness. I wish you all a successful cannabis grow. ****************************************** Bonjour à tous, Je remercie plagron, car je fais partie des 42 qui ont été tirée au sort et j'ai gagné. Un pack floraison et BRAVO POUR SON CLASSEMENT DANS LA COUPE GROWDIARIES. Je souhaite aussi la bienvenue aux nouveaux membres qui me suivent. Cette semaine et depuis hier, j'ai fait mon rempotage. Pour la 1 fois, je vais utiliser des pots géotextile. J'ai effectué un enrichissement de mon terreau PLAGRON avec que des produits naturels afin de donner de la vie microbienne et aussi de la garder et de l'enrichir. Car les engrais et additifs que j'utilise sont faits pour cela.La chose le plus IMPORTANTE et d'arroser avec soit une eau filtrée ou décante minimum 48 h afin de ne plus avoir de chlore à l'intérieur. Et afin de protéger tout cela ont fait un paillis pour ma part en chanvre sativa qui va maintenir une humidité et dégager au fur et à mesure des nutriments. Pour mon enrichissement, j'apporte un apport simplement afin de donner de la vie et de ne pas monter ou descendre le PH de la terre. Recette de mon terreau Pour commencer, je remplis mon pot complet de terreau de 13 L que je reverse dans ma bassine pour mélanger. Je tapisse le fond de mon pots de billes d'argiles . Je rajoute : _LOMBRICOMPOST 30 g Croissance, floraison Le lombricompost présente une texture fine et friable, regorgeant de nutriments essentiels tels que l’azote, le phosphore, le potassium et d’autres micro-organismes bénéfiques pour les plantes. Son utilisation améliore la qualité du sol, favorise la croissance des plantes et contribue à la conservation de l’environnement en réduisant les déchets organiques. _BIOCHAR 10 g Le charbon végétal améliore la diffusion et la disponibilité des éléments nutritifs dans le sol et offre des conditions propices au développement des micro-organismes. Le Biochar peut être introduit dans une grande variété de sols. Il est particulièrement efficace dans les sols pauvres, difficiles et acides. _GUANO DE VER DE FARINE 10 g Cette bio-activation intense mettra dans vos sols, à la disposition de vos plantes, un panel tellement varié de nutriments frais qu'il nous est aujourd'hui technologiquement impossible de pouvoir tous les nommer et de les compter. _ZEOLITHE DE CHABASITE 10 g Les zéolithes sont des roches cristallines, présentant des capacités d'adsorption particulièrement importantes vis à vis des polluants que l'on rencontre dans l'eau et dans certains liquides, ainsi que dans l'air et les gaz. Elles sont extrêmement poreuses comme les charbons activés et elles peuvent être chargées électriquement pour opérer comme des échangeurs d'ions. _Tourteau de KARANJA - croissance NPK 4,4/5,2/2 10 g Le tourteau de Karanja est un complexe absorbant (argilo humique) qui renforce et stimule la vie microbienne du sol. Riche en éléments fertilisants, il permet une assimilation lente et progressive de l'Azote et donc une régularité de l'apport. _ BASALTE VOLCANIQUE 10 g Tout d'abord, le basalte volcanique a une structure poreuse qui permet de retenir l'eau et de favoriser l'aération du sol. Cela contribue à maintenir un bon équilibre hydrique et à favoriser la vie microbienne du sol, avec une prolifération de bactéries et de champignons bénéfiques. De plus, le basalt volcanique est riche en éléments nutritifs tels que le potassium, le sodium, le magnésium, le fer et le zinc. Ces nutriments sont mis à disposition des plantes et des micro-organismes du sol, ce qui peut favoriser la croissance et le développement des plantes, ainsi que la production d'humus. _Monster mix soil 33 g de chez zamnesia _Guano Diffusion - Guanodiff Classic's 10 g Guanodiff Classic a un rapport azote / phosphore équilibré NP (3,5-8,5), ce qui est très approprié pour une croissance continue et un développement racinaire efficace. Son action rapide agit pendant 8 semaines. _Guano Diffusion - Bat Guano Bloom 10 g Bat Guano BLOOM NPK 3-6-10 a été spécialement conçu pour réussir la phase de floraison et de fructification. Riche en bat guano et associé aux extraits de mélasse de betterave, cet engrais d'origine 100 % naturel agit à la fois sur l'amélioration des propriétés organoleptiques et sur le rendement. _1 CUILLERE A SOUPE DE CHAUX DOLOMITE Renforcement calcium magnesium _ 2 g de RIZOBACTER _ 2 g Tricoderma _3 Poignées de Perlite ET SURTOUT UN BON MÉLANGE À FAIRE À L ENSEMBLE. Je remets ce mélange dans mes pots et je fais un paillis de chanvre. J installe l ensemble dans ma plus grosse hombox j installe ma lampe a 60 CM A 75% . Je vous souhaites a tous une bonne cannabiculture. 😁👍👍👊👊👋👋

Hundred percent germination rate. Started in a glass of water and transferred to Peet pellets after 12 hours. One auto cheese and four auto Chem Og. Used microbial amendments for transplant. Plants are lined along front and back of 3x3 tent under a Spider Farm SF2000 LED light. 4” intake at the bottom and 6” exhaust up at light level. I have the light at 36” and just added clear plastic 1 Liter painters cups as domes and added an oscillating tower fan per GD community recommendation. I’ll update with a oscillating clip fan. Running at 70F and 65% & rising humidity. I need to detach the humidity sensor from the frame and slip it under one of the domes. I’ll update the humidity once I do.

A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

FBA2502 Week 3 April 13-19 Veg 2 This week I introduced nutrients to the watering schedule. My planned feed schedule will be to feed, feed, water each week until the time to flush. , adjusting nutrients per the growth cycle. Hopefully this will keep from overfeeding and reduce salt build up in the soil. Nutrients: I will be using General Hydroponics Flora line at ½ feed rate and Cal mag throughout this grow. My tap water measures 8.3-8.5 so even after adding nutrients, I have to PH down my feed solution. Regarding nutrients, I’ve tried Fox Farm, TPS1, Plagron and now General Hydroponics. What I am looking for is organic, ease of use, minimal individual bottles that will yield large, dense sticky buds that hit hard in effect. Plants range in height from 5-7” except #1 which has been pinned to the soil. I will try wrapping her around the perimeter of the pot. Since she leaned over, I pinned her down and have been anchoring along the rim, twisting the stem so the node is on the side or top rather than underneath. I don’t think she likes training since the stems are a bit floppy. They are all still in veg, bushy with large indica leaves. I’ve been tucking the large leaves under the bud sites to give more light under the canopy. I’m tempted to top one of the bigger plants to have a comparison on resistance and final yield. This week I made a short video for each 2502 tester and a pic or 2. GH Flora Micro ½ tsp /gal Gro ½ tsp /gal Bloom ½ tsp /gal Fox CalMag ½ tsp /gal PPM 573 & 715 when I added Plagrons Royal Rush 4ml.

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Missed 7th week. The growth advancement has been incredible. She has several strong stems that are going to create big buds. Smell is strong. She has a bush like shape now, which is better. The 20L container was to small to her so she was moved. I believe this is the last Veg week, pre-flower signs appearing now.

So first run back and we finished. Happy with the results but know I could have done a lot better. But overall like this strain. It puts out about .9 grams of rosin for every 7g smashed. Taste good and smooth. Burns white. Lower thc effects but I think having my lights to strong late harvest was more the issue.
