Grow Diary Update: Week 5 - Pre-Flowering and LST Evaluation Entering Pre-Flowering Stage At the end of last week, the first pistils appeared, marking the beginning of the pre-flowering stage for my plants 🙌 There's much to manage now. To support optimal stretching, I've adjusted the nutrients following 2/3 of the Terra Aquatica feeding schedule: CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.33 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 1.33 ml/l The nutrient solution now has an EC of 1.3 mS/cm (638 ppm PPM-500/TDS) with a pH of 6.1. These adjustments aim to promote vigorous growth and prepare the plants for flowering. Weather and Growth With significant weather improvements, my plants are thriving at full speed. Every centimeter gained now counts towards maximizing the final yield, turning around from the challenging weeks prior. Pest Management I'm fortunate not to have encountered pests like spider mites, aphids, or thrips. However, the persistent snail issue remains. Nightly patrols with a flashlight have been effective, and placing old lettuce leaves away from the plants has helped trap and remove snails, ensuring the plants remain undisturbed. LST Experiment Results The two plants I trained with LST have responded admirably, showing healthy adaptation to the bending and vigorous growth. Yet, I'm at a crossroads regarding the upcoming stretch phase: should I continue to tie down branches to maintain an even canopy or allow natural upward growth to potentially boost vertical yield? Your Feedback Matters I value your insights on this critical decision. Should I proceed with low-stress training to control canopy height, or should I let the plants stretch upwards for increased productivity? Your experiences and advice are invaluable to me as I navigate this stage of my grow. Share your thoughts below! Stay tuned as I continue to document the pre-flowering stage and learn from the ongoing LST experiment in my grow diary!

The plants look really happy, with a rich and vibrant color. They are now growing taller more slowly, but the side branches are getting thicker. The buds are becoming really fat and are completely iced out with trichomes. The calyxes continue to swell, and more trichomes are visible, starting to turn slightly milky. Some of the white hairs are slowly turning brown. I estimate about 2-4 weeks until harvest. The scent is simply delicious, with a pleasant creamy berry aroma. The buds are also incredibly resinous, making your fingers sticky as soon as you touch them. The plants are only lightly defoliated, with dead leaves selectively removed and small shoots trimmed only at the bottom of the plant. The ladies are also extremely thirsty. Besides the regular fertilized watering, they also receive tap water from the bottom, which they usually absorb within a few minutes. I also made an extra video to better show the size of the buds, and using the flash at night highlights the trichomes even more.

Que pasa familia, como podéis comprobar tienen un pequeño exceso de nutrientes, algunas hojas doblan hacia abajo, no obstante , esta variedad está empezando apestar con un olor bastante peculiar. Es una variedad que como te descuides también crece bastante, controlamos los parámetros de la temperatura y la humedad en lo establecido, 0 problemas en ese aspecto. Veremos cómo reaccionas esta próxima semana al overdrive y si notamos ya las diferencias.

🌱🔥 Eternity Cup 2025 – Runtz Autoflower Woche 10 – Die Mädels brennen! 🚀💨 Wir sind in Woche 10 und das Zelt explodiert fast – jede Pflanze hat jetzt ihren ganz eigenen Charakter entwickelt und es fühlt sich an, als würde man gerade drei völlig verschiedene Biester großziehen! Runtz #1 bleibt die Schönheitskönigin – lang, elegant, Buds dick und kompakt, überall Harz, die Härchen jetzt richtig schön orange. Geruch? Süß, cremig, klassisch Runtz – einfach zum Verlieben. Die könnte straight aus’m Katalog kommen. Stabil, easy, läuft einfach. Runtz #2, die getoppte, war von Anfang an kompakter unterwegs – und das zahlt sich jetzt aus. Buschig, viele dicke Seitentriebe, überall feste Buds, schön verteilt und voll mit Harz. Sie hat sich still und sauber hochgearbeitet – richtig solides Handwerk. Der Geruch ist süß und leicht würzig, nicht ganz so laut wie die anderen, aber sehr fein und lecker. Die ist zuverlässig und wird safe stark ballern. Runtz #3 – ey, was soll ich sagen: DIE ist der Star! Klar, ihre Struktur ist bisschen crazy, sieht nicht so typisch aus, bisschen wild vielleicht – aber holy sh*t, die ballert in Sachen Terpene und Potenz alles weg. Jedes Mal, wenn du sie berührst, riecht der ganze Raum nach süßem, fruchtig-gasigem Candy-Mix. Die ist komplett überzogen mit Trichomen, überall Glitzer, richtig böse. Optisch kein Standard – aber energetisch einfach die Endgegnerin. Die wird am Ende die Leute umhauen. #NoCap Ich persönlich geb allen noch 2 bis 3 Wochen. Die Trichome sind auf dem Weg – viele noch milchig, paar schon amber – aber das kann noch fetter werden. Wir geben den Ladies die Zeit, um komplett zu explodieren. Finale Phase = maximaler Geschmack, Wirkung & Optik. Das Finale wird legendär. Drei Pflanzen, drei Vibes – aber alle auf Killermodus. #EternityCup2025 #RuntzAuto #Week10Update #TerpeneTornado #Nr3IstDieWaffe #Nr2SolideAF #Nr1ModelVibes #GrowLove #ZeltBrennt 🔥🌱💨

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 12/08/19 || To/Hasta: 18/08/19 From day/Desde día: 21 || To day/Hasta día: 27 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1: She's still turning with this size, but is lowering the total angle/week, of course she has stopped turning once topped. You can see at the end of the videos the clones i've taken from her. Anyway, 4 days after taking the clones i decided to kill them because i had to grow another 4 plants in September and it's going to bee too much work @time. P4: I did a foliar irrigation this day, and i'm not going to add it to watering calendar. I'm using non PH adjusted water with BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active. P9: Pruning and topping time!!. I toped her at 10 cm exactly, abobe the 4th main internode. Also I pruned the first and second main internodes, so I'm leaving 4 main branches to create the plant, i will try to keep them all at the same height. Also i must admit that i don't like nothing the cable i used to fix them to the floor as it's potentially danger for the branches, it cuts like a knife!. Asap i will buy a good rubber covered cable for do the job. Also i will put one of my training structures in the floor, top supported by the 2 horizontal 6 mm aluminium rods i used to LST @images. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Well well well, prunning & topping time 😋!!!. This week temperatures raised a lot in my country full direct to 35º along day due to warm winds coming from inside land, what's called here "Terral", while it's a name, it can be translated as something similar to "Sandwindy" 😰😰😱😷😷. It's impressive how the Alice Kalashnikova (I de love more Alice than Avtomat 😂) did support those high temperatures like nothing. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 15/08/19 - 4,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1: Y ella sigue girando a pesar de su tamaño, pero está reduciendo la cantidad de giro semanal, por supuesto parará de girar una vez le realice el topping. Al final del vídeo se pueden ver los clones que tomé de ella. No obstante, 4 o 5 días después de hacerlos decidí matarlos ya que tengo que plantar otras 4 plantas en Septiembre y se me iba a acumular mucho trabajo. P4: Realicé un riego foliar este día, ya que no voy a añadirlo al calendario de riego os digo lo que he usado. Agua sin ajustar PH con BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active. P9: ¡Tiempo de poda y topping!. la he podado a exactamente 10 cm del suelo, justo por encima del cuarto nodo principal. También he podado los 2 primeros nodos, así que estoy dejando 4 ramas principales que intentaré mantener a la misma altura. Debo admitir que no me gusta nada el alambre que he usado para atarla a las barras ya que es potencialmente dañino, corta como un cuchillo. En cuanto pueda compraré un cable con cobertura de goma para hacer le trabajo. También pondré una de mis estructuras de entrenamiento sobre el sustrato y las mantendré fijas con las barras de aluminio horizontales de 6 mm que he puesto y que se ven en las imágenes -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Bien bien bien, ¡tiempo de poda! 😋. Esta semana las temperaturas han subido directamente a 35º debido al terral, es insoportaaaaaaaaaaaaaable 😰😰😨😨. Es impresionante como Alice Kalashnikova (me gusta mucho más alice que avtomat😂) soporta estas temperaturas como si nada. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 15/08/19 - 4,000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

I start flunshing now after the last dose of organic additives wich boost sugar and protein storages in the buds to create new tissues and enhance flavour an odour.

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!

HEY! the beginning of flowering. and there are many hopes that it will be completed before the end of the competition from Green House! well, everything goes perfectly in ostolny) the trunk gets fat. branches grow longer and flowers bloom)) it is very difficult to understand its size from the photo) but believe me, it is huge. and occupies an area of 80cm-80cm wide ..

Noticed Magnesium deficiency on lower leaves. Increased dosage in this week’s feeding and monitoring pH to ensure recovery

So far so good no complain

Hey guys :-) The ladies are developing really well 😊. I'll decide spontaneously whether I'll do topping because I hardly have any space in the flower tent and I'll soon have to set it to 12 / 12 h due to time constraints :-( . But this week they will definitely get the veggie phase. Was poured 1 times with 1 l each (groundwater see description at the bottom) Everything was made clean. Fresh osmosis water is applied and the plants are sprayed and checked. Stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/47-growing 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/576-watermelon.html Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Week 3 for the Garlic Cookies 🍪 from original sensible seeds Looks good at the moment! We gave some more nutrients this week and add also bloom booster this week! Lets see these buds getting bigger now!

end of week 7 flower | plant is insane | never had such purple plant | strong guava smell | no generic terps | i feel like its going to be a real dessert!| i will keep this running one more week | the plant doesnt really consume co2 anymore

Week 10, so from today I stopped watering the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and on Saturday no more light as well. Sunday is harvest day finally. Not much changed, I raised up the water with 25ml so the Purple Punch gets 200ml 2 x a day. That's all, since last week I started giving 13 hours darkness and 11 hours light and from Monday will be 12/12 after I harvested the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and I can use the tent only for her. Fertilization will happen on the same days. Sunday fun day, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is harvested. Purple Punch left alone. From tomorrow I will switch the light schedule 12/12. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

Flipped these girls to flower on day 26. Most of them have been looking good and growing pretty fast. I topped off the reservoir and added a little maxibloom. All 8 plants are drinking a total of about 2 gallons of water per day now. I kinda slacked on training them this week, but I will try to get them spread out some over the next week. I have been pulling a few fan leaves from the bottom so they can get good air circulation.

War eh nur ein Experiment, wie sich die Pflanzen bei 4 h direktem Sonnenlicht verhalten auf dem Balkon. Ertrag ist dem entsprechend gering & die Dichte der Blüte fehlt, sehr sehr Fluffig aber der Geruch/Geschmack erinnert an 2014er Vibes. Also Smoke Qualität ist super und die Wirkung sehr klar & clean. Werde die Sorte sicherlich nochmal im Zelt ausgrown.

6/5 Looking good so far. Growing at night even!
