Week 6 Vegetation - "Sam" rate of growth started to increase near the beginning of the week. With the nodes now stretching, I've started to implement tucking of the larger fan leaves under new and smaller shoots. I find this "new growth priority" method paired with LST really maximizes and speeds up the growth in comparison to an untrained plant. Merely anecdotal though! You'll notice that in the 3rd shot, the nodes stretched out in about 2 days and just ballooned! now that's what I'm talking about! nearing the middle of the week and the rate of growth is fast enough that I can't remember to take enough pictures between the new nodes. At this point I'm tucking new leaves almost daily, making paths for the light to reach new growth tips. By the end of the week, I'll need to start tying the nodes to the side before they stretch too far up. If they stretch too far before tying them, they can be a PITA to tie down later with dense foliage and such. Tying them down before they get to this point also keeps the nutrients moving to the "new side-nodes" from these branches. Eventually these will be just as thick as the original main stalk. UPDATE: As you can see with the last photos added, the branches are almost even with the original top of the plant that was tied down. I gave them a thorough fertigation the night before, and only slight folding of the leaves so I must have choked the roots a bit, but nothing long term.

The journey for this lady is over! She is huge and gorgeous, the buds seem rocks just by touching them!

Plants in Full flower

Week went again very uneventful. The plant does what she is supposed to be doing (gaining weight) :). Still lots of new pistils appearing overnight, I am checking the Trichomes daily, however, everything remains milky, with only very little % of amber trichomes. Once amber colours start increasing I will start flushing.

Giorno 1 è molto bella e in completa salute, questa settimana sarà la più cruciale per la vegetativa Giorno 7 la sera viene annaffiata con 2L di acqua

Dwc was flushed for 4 days, coco mix was flushed for a week. Dry was too fast (under a week) learned a lot can't wait to apply it

11.07. Wedding Cake 1# Day 77# Wedding Cake 2# Day 71# Today is the end of the eleventh week for the plants. There were storms all week and with the fact that they spent almost the whole week under stress (they were also under heat stress a couple of days before), I am certainly satisfied with the progress. On Tuesday, they were watered for the last time, with clean water, then it rained, and the next day it rained all day, since then they have not been watered, as soon as the soil dries I will feed them. Below in the table is the food that they received last time, but it is included in this week, and I introduced that as well. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Slight green on top of soil cleared off now. Should i be watering the whole pot at this stage ??? Or just around the plant ?

Removed autoflower and put her in her own pot outside the tent. Foliars applied in strong blue 430nm with 4000Hz tone. 20-minute dose prior to application. In essence, you're seeing a combination of the infrared light reflected by the plant, which the camera perceives as red, and any residual visible blue light the plant reflects, which results in a purple hue. I was doing more stretching of the stems, adjusting weights, just a little too much, and it snapped almost clean. I got a little lucky in that it was still connected, wrapped her almost instantly while holding her in place with yoyo's. The core framework is now in place. If your soil has a high pH, it's not ideal; you want a pH of 6.4, 6.5, or 6.6, which is ideal. If you are over a pH of 7, you have no hydrogen on the clay colloid. If you want your pH down, add Carbon. If you keep the pH below 7, you will unlock hydrogen, a whole host of new microbes become active and begin working, the plant will now be able to make more sugar because she has microbes giving off carbon dioxide, and the carbon you added hangs onto water. Everything has electricity in it. When you get the microbes eating carbon, breathing oxygen, giving off CO2, those aerobic soil microbes will carry about 0.5V of electricity that makes up the EC. The microorganisms will take a metal-based mineral and a non-metal-based mineral with about 1000 different combinations, and they will create an organic salt! That doesn't kill them, that the plant loves, that the plant enjoys. This creates an environment that is conducive to growing its own food. Metal-based: Could include elements like iron, manganese, copper, or zinc, which are essential nutrients for plants but can exist in forms not readily accessible. Non-metal-based: Examples like calcium carbonate, phosphate, or sulfur are also important for plant growth and potentially serve as building blocks for the organic salt. Chelation in a plant medium is a chemical process where a chelating agent, a negatively charged organic compound, binds to positively charged metal ions, like iron, zinc, and manganese. This forms a stable, soluble complex that protects the micronutrient from becoming unavailable to the plant in the soil or solution. The chelate complex is then more easily absorbed by the plant's roots, preventing nutrient deficiency, improving nutrient uptake, and enhancing plant growth. Chelation is similar to how microorganisms create organic salts, as both involve using organic molecules to bind with metal ions, but chelation specifically forms ring-like structures, or chelates, while the "organic salts" of microorganisms primarily refer to metal-complexed low molecular weight organic acids like gluconic acid. Microorganisms use this process to solubilize soil phosphates by chelating cations such as iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca), increasing their availability. Added sugars stimulate soil microbial activity, but directly applying sugar, especially in viscous form, can be tricky to dilute. Adding to the soil is generally not a beneficial practice for the plant itself and is not a substitute for fertilizer. While beneficial microbes can be encouraged by the sugar, harmful ones may also be stimulated, and the added sugar is a poor source of essential plant nutrients. Sugar in soil acts as a food source for microbes, but its effects on plants vary significantly with the sugar's form and concentration: simple sugars like glucose can quickly boost microbial activity and nutrient release. But scavenge A LOT of oxygen in the process, precious oxygen. Overly high concentrations of any sugar can attract pests, cause root rot by disrupting osmotic balance, and lead to detrimental fungal growth. If you are one who likes warm tropical high rh, dead already. Beneficial, absolutely, but only to those who don't run out of oxygen. Blackstrap is mostly glucose, iirc regular molasses is mostly sucrose. Sugars, especially sucrose, act as signaling molecules that interact with plant hormones and regulate gene expression, which are critical for triggering the floral transition. When sucrose is added to the growth medium significantly influences its effect on floral transition. Probably wouldn't bother with blackstrap given its higher glucose content. Microbes in the soil consume the sugar and, in the process, draw nitrogen from the soil, which is the same nutrient the plant needs. Glucose is not an oxygen scavenger itself, but it acts as a substrate for the glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme, effectively removing oxygen from a system. Regular molasses (powdered if you can), as soon as she flips to flower or a week before, the wrong form of sugar can delay flower, or worse. Wrong quantity, not great either. The timing of sucrose application is crucial. It was more complicated than I gave it credit for, that's for sure. When a medium's carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio reaches 24:1, it signifies an optimal balance for soil microbes to thrive, leading to efficient decomposition and nutrient cycling. At this ratio, soil microorganisms have enough nitrogen for their metabolic needs, allowing them to break down organic matter and release vital nutrients like phosphorus and zinc for plants. Exceeding this ratio results in slower decomposition and nitrogen immobilization, while a ratio below 24:1 leads to faster breakdown and excess nitrogen availability. Carbon and nitrogen are two elements in soils and are required by most biology for energy. Carbon and nitrogen occur in the soil as both organic and inorganic forms. The inorganic carbon in the soil has minimal effect on soil biochemical activity, whereas the organic forms of carbon are essential for biological activity. Inorganic carbon in the soil is primarily present as carbonates, whereas organic carbon is present in many forms, including live and dead plant materials and microorganisms; some are more labile and therefore can be easily decomposed, such as sugars, amino acids, and root exudates, while others are more recalcitrant, such as lignin, humin, and humic acids. Soil nitrogen is mostly present in organic forms (usually more than 95 % of the total soil nitrogen), but also in inorganic forms, such as nitrate and ammonium. Soil biology prefers a certain ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C:N). Amino acids make up proteins and are one of the nitrogen-containing compounds in the soil that are essential for biological energy. The C:N ratio of soil microbes is about 10:1, whereas the preferred C:N ratio of their food is 24:1 (USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service 2011). Soil bacteria (3-10:1 C:N ratio) generally have a lower C:N ratio than soil fungi (4-18:1 C:N ratio) (Hoorman & Islam 2010; Zhang and Elser 2017). It is also important to mention that the ratio of carbon to other nutrients, such as sulfur (S) and phosphorous (P) also are relevant to determine net mineralization/immobilization. For example, plant material with C:S ratio smaller than 200:1 will promote mineralization of sulfate, while C:S ratio higher than 400:1 will promote immobilization (Scherer 2001). In soil science and microbiology, the C:S ratio helps determine whether sulfur will be released (mineralized) or tied up (immobilized) by microorganisms. A carbon-to-sulfur (C:S) ratio smaller than 200:1 promotes the mineralization of sulfate, when the C:S ratio is low, it indicates that the organic matter decomposing in the soil is rich in sulfur relative to carbon. Microorganisms require both carbon and sulfur for their metabolic processes. With an excess of sulfur, microbes take what they need and release the surplus sulfur into the soil as plant-available sulfate A carbon-to-sulfur (C:S) ratio higher than 400:1 will promote the immobilization of sulfur from the soil. This occurs because when high-carbon, low-sulfur materials (like sawdust) are added to soil, microbes consume the carbon and pull sulfur from the soil to meet their nutritional needs, temporarily making it unavailable to plants. 200:1 C:S 400:1: In this range, both mineralization and immobilization can occur simultaneously, making the net availability of sulfur less predictable. This dynamic is similar to how the carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio regulates the availability of nitrogen in soil. Just as microbes need a certain amount of nitrogen to process carbon, they also require a balanced amount of sulfur. Both mineralization and immobilization are driven by the metabolic needs of the soil's microbial population. Sulfur is crucial for protein synthesis. A balanced ratio is particularly important in relation to nitrogen (N), as plants need adequate sulfur to efficiently use nitrogen. A severely imbalanced C:S ratio can hinder the efficient use of nitrogen, as seen in trials where adding nitrogen without balancing sulfur levels actually lowered crop yields. Maintaining a balanced carbon-to-sulfur (C:S) ratio is highly beneficial for plant growth, but this happens indirectly by regulating soil microbial activity. Unlike the C:N ratio, which is widely discussed for its direct effect on nutrient availability, the C:S ratio determines whether sulfur in the soil's organic matter is released (mineralized) or temporarily locked up (immobilized). Applied 3-day drought stress. Glucose will hinder oxygenation more than sucrose in a solution because glucose is consumed faster and has a higher oxygen demand, leading to a more rapid decrease in oxygen levels. When cells respire, they use oxygen to break down glucose, and this process requires more oxygen for glucose than for sucrose because sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose before it can be metabolized. In a growth medium, glucose is a more immediate and universal signaling molecule for unicellular and multicellular organisms because it is directly used for energy and triggers a rapid gene expression response. In contrast, sucrose primarily acts as a signaling molecule in plants to regulate specific developmental processes by being transported or broken down, which can be a more complex and slower signaling process. Critical stuff. During wakefulness (DC electric current) life can not entangle electrons and protons. During the daytime, the light is sensed as multiple color frequencies in sunlight. Coherence requires monochromatic light. Therefore, at night, IR light dominates cell biology. This is another reason why the DC electric current disappears during the night. The coherence of water is maintained by using its density changes imparted by infrared light released from mitochondria in the absence of light. This density change can be examined by NMR analysis, and water is found to be in its icosahedral molecular form. This is the state that water should be in at night. This is when a light frequency is lowest and when the wave part of the photoelectric effect is in maximum use. 3600

**Semaine Harvest : Récolte Finale – Sticky Broccoli (28 avril 2026)** **Note :** Fin du cycle Eternity Grow Cup 2. Récolte effectuée en semaine 10 de floraison (légèrement anticipée). Tout le journal de culture est maintenant complet. ### Contexte et Bilan du Cycle Après 10 semaines de floraison (semaine 14 globale), la récolte a été déclenchée suite à un départ de botrytis sur une autre plante du même espace. J’aurais pu laisser encore quelques jours pour laisser mûrir un peu plus les trichomes ambrés, mais la sécurité prime. La plante dominante (150 cm) a donné un beau rendement qualitatif, avec des buds denses, extrêmement frosty et résineux. **Poids frais : environ 780 grammes** (poids humide total des buds trimés, sans les grosses tiges). Mise à jour prévue dans 2 semaines pour le **poids sec final** après un bon curing. ### Observations à la Récolte - **Buds** : Denses et compacts, très collants. Couverture trichomale exceptionnelle (majoritairement laiteux avec quelques têtes ambrées). L’aspect sugar est magnifique, les buds brillent littéralement. - **Odeur** : Très agréable, sucrée, épicée et florale, typique de Sticky Broccoli. Puissante même après le flush. - **Résine** : Extrêmement résineuse au toucher – parfait pour du dry sift ou un petit Ice-o-Lator. - **Structure** : Belle densité globale, même si la taille individuelle des buds reste dans la moyenne haute pour la variété (pas les plus gros que j’ai vus, mais la qualité trichomale compense largement). - **Santé** : Plantes propres jusqu’à la fin, pas de carence visible. Le flush des 3 derniers jours (EC 0,7) a bien aidé à nettoyer les sels. **Clones** : Quelques clones prélevés plusieurs semaines auparavant ont été repiqués avec succès dans leur nouveau système. Ils sont bien enracinés et prêts à repartir pour un prochain cycle de végétation/floraison. La génétique est conservée ! ### Paramètres en Fin de Cycle (semaine 10) - Température jour/nuit : 19-21 °C / 14-15 °C - Humidité : 48-58 % jour / 29-39 % nuit - VPD : 0.9-1.3 kPa - PPFD : 550 (DLI 24) - UV : 90 min/jour - EC final : 1.0 puis flush à 0.7 (Terra Aquatica seul) - pH : 5.8-6.0 - Steering : génératif jusqu’à la fin - 48h de blackout avant récolte : appliqué pour booster la résine et améliorer la qualité des trichomes. ### Plans Post-Récolte - **Séchage** : 7-10 jours à 18-20 °C et 55-60 % d’humidité dans un espace sombre et ventilé. - **Curing** : Minimum 2-3 semaines en bocaux (burping régulier) pour affiner les terpènes et la douceur. Mise à jour dans 2 semaines avec le poids sec final. - **Utilisation** : Une partie en fleurs séchées/cure, et un petit batch pour **dry sift** + **Ice-o-Lator** (bubble hash) histoire de se régaler avec la résine exceptionnelle de cette Sticky Broccoli. **Tips éducatif final : Le flush et le blackout en fin de cycle** - **Flush** (3 derniers jours à EC très bas) : Permet d’éliminer les sels accumulés et améliore nettement le goût final (moins de chimie, plus de terpènes purs). - **48h de blackout** : Technique simple mais efficace qui stress légèrement la plante de manière positive, augmentant la production de résine et la clarté des trichomes juste avant la coupe. Ce fut un très beau cycle, propre et instructif malgré l’interruption due au botrytis. La qualité résineuse et l’odeur compensent largement. Merci à Zamnesia et Plagron pour le matos ! **#GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 #StickyBroccoli** Dans 2 semaines je mettrai à jour avec le poids sec et les premières impressions après curing. **Estimation du poids sec final** Avec **780 grammes de poids frais** (buds humides, après trim initial mais avant séchage complet), voici une estimation réaliste pour cette Sticky Broccoli : ### Estimation raisonnable - **Poids sec attendu** : **180 à 230 grammes** (environ **23-30 %** du poids frais). **Pourquoi cette fourchette ?** - Les buds frais contiennent typiquement 70-80 % d’eau. - Après un bon séchage (jusqu’à 10-12 % d’humidité résiduelle) + curing, il reste généralement **20-30 %** du poids humide initial. - 20 % → **156 g** (estimation basse, si buds très denses ou séchage poussé) - 25 % → **195 g** (estimation moyenne, la plus courante pour des buds compacts comme les tiens) - 30 % → **234 g** (estimation haute, si les buds retiennent un peu plus d’humidité ou sont particulièrement résineux) Tes buds étant décrits comme **denses, très collants et frosty**, je pencherais plutôt vers le **milieu/haut de la fourchette** : **190-220 grammes** une fois bien secs et cured. ### Facteurs qui influenceront le résultat final - **Qualité du séchage** : Température 18-20 °C, humidité 50-60 %, bonne circulation d’air sans vent direct → perte d’eau progressive et uniforme. - **Trim** : Si tu as fait un wet trim assez serré, le poids sec sera un peu plus bas que si tu as laissé plus de sugar leaves. - **Densité des buds** : Plus ils sont compacts et résineux, moins ils perdent de poids relatif (mais ils sèchent parfois un peu plus lentement). - **Curing** : Pendant les 2-4 semaines en bocaux, tu perdras encore un peu d’humidité, mais le poids se stabilisera. ### Prochaines étapes 1. **Séchage** : 7-10 jours jusqu’à ce que les tiges cassent net (pas pliables). 2. **Curing** : Minimum 2 semaines (idéalement 4+) avec burping quotidien au début. 3. **Pesée finale** : Une fois le poids stabilisé (après 2 semaines de curing),

I am extremely satisfied with the biotabs fertilizer, something incredible. and no PH water adjustment 🖕🏼 one shows a slight lack of magnesium. I will not deal with it at this stage, but next time I will put the lights higher.🤘🏻 -and the buds are incredible for 4w blooms BIOTABS: …….. is still the best organic fertilizer I've tried. incredibly good and simple and I only applied it 2x🤘🏻 in 1w and 4w🌹

Critical is nice and healthy had a good stretch before starting sidebranching but she's doing her thing now 3rd time with this strain so pretty use to how she goes normally rockets in these next few weeks sidebranching like mad she's been fed just water and is doing ok decent root formation compared to some of the others but a bit smaller putting it down to the autos been quicker in general was hoping to put outdoors next week but weather is too cold still not much else to report thanks for reading happy growing guys

Week 23 - kitty says hi! This lady is getting out of control. We're 4 weeks from harvesting. Autumn gets very wet and last year I had bud rot, so end of october is the last day. I really need to defoliate to give those buds all the sun they can get.

Все проходит хорошо 👍 Со следующей недели промывка начнётся.

I honestly can't wait for this one to be done so I can try it out. The terps on this on is crazy!! That dank sweet cherry smell. Buds are forming more and more. Top Dressed with 8 tbps of BuildaSoil build a flower and 6 tbsp of BuildaSoil Craft Blend

Week 2 - Transplanting Transplanting is the second part of securing a solid foundation for the roots, by using the rock wool cubes I am providing to root ball with a headquarters. I use root excelurator in my feeding and soaking the Rockwool cube so you can expect a very healthy root system and by having a healthy root system you have bigger trees, thicker stems & bigger buds.
