Eternity Grow Cup - Week 9 Veg Update We are stepping into Week 9 of vegetation, and things are getting exciting! The plants are thriving—compact, bushy, and growing beautifully. This week, we introduced a SCROG (Screen of Green) net, an essential tool for maximizing yield and optimizing plant structure. Let’s dive deep into the why and how of scrogging: Why Install a SCROG Net Now? Maximizes Light Exposure: The net allows even light distribution across all branches, ensuring every bud site gets the optimal amount of light. Controls Plant Height: By guiding the branches through the net, we keep the canopy even and prevent excessive vertical growth. Enhances Airflow & Reduces Mold Risks: Spreading the plant out increases air circulation, reducing humidity pockets and minimizing risks of mold and pests. Increases Yield: More bud sites exposed to light mean higher-quality flowers and greater overall production. For now, we’re still not using the under-canopy lights, though they will come into play soon. The ICL 300 is positioned strategically, and we will likely move them around as needed later. For now, the focus is on structuring the plants and ensuring they fill out the available space properly. Optimizing Airflow - The Vortex Effect Air circulation is crucial for plant health, and this week, we’ve optimized airflow by positioning the fans to create a vortex effect: Fan Positioning: Each fan is placed at the tent corners, pointing in different directions, ensuring dynamic airflow instead of direct wind hitting the plants. Benefits of a Vortex System: Reduces hot spots and evenly distributes CO₂. Strengthens stems by creating a natural resistance. Prevents stagnant air, reducing mold and pest risks. The extraction system is powered by an AeroFan, connected to the AeroFan Smart Remote FRC1, currently running at 60% speed. This setup efficiently manages humidity and temperature while maintaining optimal air exchange. Current Environmental Conditions & Feeding For now, we’re maintaining the same water schedule and nutrient regimen. The environmental conditions remain stable: Temperature: Holding steady at ideal growth levels. Relative Humidity: Balanced to encourage healthy transpiration. PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density): Kept at optimal levels to support vigorous vegetative growth. CO₂ Levels: Elevated but within safe limits, promoting faster growth. The plants are filling the space beautifully, but we know that the flip to flower is approaching soon! The next phase will depend on how fast they continue to spread, and adjustments will be made accordingly. Closing Thoughts & What’s Next? This week was all about structural optimization—ensuring proper airflow, training the plants with the SCROG net, and keeping everything in balance before the transition to flower. The upcoming weeks will be crucial, as we fine-tune the environment, possibly introduce the under-canopy lighting, and prepare for the flowering stage.

Cherry cola are done growing up and are fattening up nicely and producing a nice frosting of trichomes .

Reduzi a concentração do fertilizante e as plantas estão criando os botões agora, um pouco mais lentos talvez que o LSD, mas sétima semana e estou satisfeito com a aparência, apesar de ter limitado o fertilizante elas não apresentaram sinais de excesso final da sétima semana a geada chegou forte .

Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for the grand Week 1 Veg Report for our Epsilon F1, and oh, what a week it has been! Buckle up as we delve into the lavish life of our green companion, surrounded by the best of the best in the plant kingdom. First things first, our little Epsilon F1 needed a new home, a place to stretch those roots and spread its leafy wings. So, I orchestrated a majestic transplant into a cozy little pot filled with a blend of soil and the magical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This mix, my friends, is like the VIP section for our plant's roots, housing a variety of endomycorrhizae that are the backbone of a thriving crop. They're like the secret agents working undercover to ensure our Epsilon F1's success. Picture James Bond, but for plants. Now, onto the royal feast! I'm sticking to the Aptus Holland nutrient line, and let me tell you, it's like fine dining for plants. Our watering regimen involves the use of Regulator, a concoction of mono-silicic acid, boron, and molybdenum. This is like the plant's personal nutrient chauffeur, ensuring everything gets to the right place at the right time. Silicic acid? Check. Boron for calcium uptake and fiber production? Double-check. Molybdenum to shuffle nitrogen around? Triple-check. It's like a nutrient ballet in every drop! But that's not all, my friends. Enter CaMg-Boost, the organo-mineral superstar that prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies while turning our plant into a fruit-setting maestro. Firm and high-quality end product? You bet! It's the secret sauce for a successful harvest. And then there's the All-in-One Liquid, a 100% mineral-based fertilizer that's like the Swiss Army knife of nutrients. From vegetative phase to flowering/maturation, it's got our plant covered. pH variations? Not a problem for this versatile gem. It's the superhero of the nutrient world, swooping in to save the day regardless of the grow medium or system. But let's not forget the Startbooster, our organic root and growth stimulator. It's the motivational speaker for our plant, whispering words of encouragement to the root system and promoting vigorous vegetative growth. Specific microlife biomass? Oh, you know it's in there, working its magic to enhance root development and provide bioavailable nutrition. It's like a plant pep talk in a bottle. Our Epsilon F1 is currently basking in the glory under a dome, and I can't help but beam with pride. Shout-outs to @James and the generous folks at Royal Queen Seeds for this amazing genetic journey, Aptus Holland for being the nutrient wizards behind the curtain, and Grow Diaries for being the virtual garden where we share our triumphs and tribulations. Stay tuned, dear readers that i consider friends, as we watch our Epsilon F1 thrive and blossom into a botanical masterpiece. Happy growing, and may your gardens be forever green! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS EPSILON F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Week 3 started off good but ended horrible. I finally made my first big fu🤬k up. After LSTing on day 19 the next day I tried tighten up the LST and ended up snapping the main stock🤦‍♂️🏾 Forcing me to try and mainline just to save her, so now I’m just hoping for da best. On da positive side at least it happened to one of the freebie seeds from seedsman and not one that I spent a pretty penny for

Started off week 2 with heavy defoliation // they took it like champs // they instantly started to fill the space again // back right corner is still a bit behind but the rest of the canopy looks crisp 👌🏼 End of week 2 // kolas starting to form up // currently 27° at 60% // gonna lower the temp to 25 very soon // also collecting the water every day and then water them daily // gonna start using green power phosphor booster in the next week

Corte día 91, después de 5 días de lavado de raíz, 2 primeros dias de lavado con flawless finish de advanced nutrients, 50 gramos de flores en húmedo se congelaron y use para hacer bho, el efecto es relajante y fuerte

Full plant weight - 960g wet at harvest Full plant weight - 236g at 7 days drying 10 days - Trimmed weight - 6oz and 4 grams (172g) Using Grove bags to cure / store - 2 weeks til testing.

In to week 7 now starting to flush!! Very impressed with this run 💚🌱💚🌱 I’m now running the Futur vert 30 W uv led for 5 hours of the 12/12 with the Futur vert flora max series

Too small box :( Must out one of pot In next grow buy bigger box :) :) Can someone tell me something about HydroMars 450W LED ??

Day 49 and 50. With 28 to 42 days left(anticipating)went ahead and gave the girls some bloom nutrients. Decided to go with the pk13/14 from canna at 1 tsp per gallon. Each plant received 2 gallons and will repeat for the next two waterings. Decided against a top dressing as I amended the soil heavily at the start and would like to use up what’s in the soil already. To say the girls have grown up during summer camp is an understatement! Miss Harvey is an astonishing 44 inches tall and still growing. Ms. Fizz and the 91Grapes are both a very respectable 38 inches tall and still growing. Once these girls got their roots settled in it was off to the races and none of the are showing any interest in slowing down, I just think they will shift into flower overdrive! Or at least that’s my desire. update, bad news something chewed seven branches off my plants last night. pissed off. will include pictures later I love growing autoflowers. Their simple tenacity and vigor, their ability to flower at will and finish inside of three months is what keeps me coming back for more. Thank you Daz for some amazing plants.

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

First week of veg, after two weeks of seedling growth. Light schedule: 24 hrs Nutrients: Nitrogen (bokashi), small quantities of potassium and phosphorus in marine algae. First transplant into: 2 lt and 1.5 lt pots

This week was very stressful, I left my girls alone because I had holidays of 11 days, got a drip system twice a day due to the heat of 37º

Beautiful.... a lot of LST made her like a snake. She would be very tall otherwise. Crazy...... a lot of rain by the way the temperature is getting low.... but it seems to be good all the things :) I am not sure about her height may be even 100 cm over 🤪 Day 111: She looks like kind a strated the flowering cycle I mean the greenish tops I need to force her to flower shit weather UK it will be too late so I decided to do it manually covering her first 36 hours and then every day to get less than 12 hours light or smthg like that l. 🙄 So in case she started it helps her to go on if not then she will. I am sure she started 🙃
