Sticky Broccoli Auto – Week 8 Update (Week 4 Flower) Overall Plant Status Week 4 of flower and things are… interesting. All 4 plants are showing excellent health overall—no visible deficiencies, strong color, and vigorous growth. However, there are some growth irregularities across the canopy. • Bud structure is developing oddly and slower than expected • One plant (back left) is showing re-veg–like traits • Another (back right) is absolutely dumping trichomes early • Front two plants appear the most “normal,” but still not bulking heavily yet Despite being labeled an 8–9 week auto, this run is clearly trending longer. Estimated finish now looks closer to 11–13 weeks, likely leaning toward the longer end. ⸻ Environment & Light Notes • UV was being applied but has now been turned OFF (3/15) to rule out stress-related responses • Light schedule unchanged otherwise • Feeding timing: • Auto irrigation ~30 min after lights on (2:30 AM) • Secondary feed mid-day (~1:30–4 PM) Observation: The re-veg–like growth (3-finger leaves, excessive leafy growth) is unusual for autos but can be triggered by: • Spectrum imbalance (UV/IR stress) • Genetic instability (more likely with some autos) • Environmental stress (though unlikely here given overall health) ⸻ Watering & Nutrients General Range This Week: • PPM: 860 → 1200 • pH: 5.7 – 5.9 • Runoff: 0% → 20% depending on day ⸻ 3/11 • 4 gallons total • Split feeding (AM + PM) • Minimal runoff initially, slight runoff later • 1200 PPM / 5.8 pH Per gallon: • .5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 5ml Cocos A • 15ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym • 3ml Green Sensation • 2ml Power Buds • 5ml Ruby Fulvic • 5ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/12 • 4 gallons total • ~20% runoff achieved • Plants evened out in height • 1000 PPM / 5.8 pH (Same mix minus Photosynthesis Plus) ⸻ 3/13 • Split feeding again (AM + PM) • ~15% runoff • 1000 PPM / 5.7 pH (Photosynthesis Plus reintroduced) ⸻ 3/14 • Light defoliation + lower branch cleanup • ~15% runoff • 860 PPM / 5.8 pH ⸻ 3/15 • No feed • Observed abnormalities: • Back left plant showing re-veg–like growth (3-finger leaves, excessive foliage) • Back right plant heavily coated in trichomes • Front plants stable but slow to bulk • Action taken: UV turned OFF to troubleshoot ⸻ 3/16 • 4 gallons total • 10–15% runoff • 947 PPM / 5.9 pH Mixing order adjusted: • Silicium Bloom → MagCal → Green Sensation → Base nutrients → additives ⸻ 3/17 • 4 gallons total • Initial 0.5 gal per plant (low runoff) • Second feeding planned later • 940 PPM / 5.9 pH ⸻ Plant-Specific Observations Back Left Plant (Problem Child) • Throwing 3-finger leaves • Excessive leafy growth vs bud formation • Appears to be in a partial re-veg expression • Most likely cause: genetics or light spectrum sensitivity (UV suspect) Back Right Plant • Frost monster • Heavy trichome production early • Slightly behind on bulk but resin production is top tier Front Two Plants • Most stable phenotype • Normal structure • Slightly slow bulking but otherwise on track ⸻ Next Week Game Plan (Week 5 Flower) • Monitor re-veg plant for normalization after removing UV • Maintain: • 900–1000 PPM • 5.8–5.9 pH • Watch for: • Bud set transition → bulk phase • Consider: • Slight increase in PK (Green Sensation / Power Buds) if bulking still lags by end of Week 5

Starting to see a good bit of stretch going on. Filling out pretty quickly from the pre flower defoliation. Been taking a couple bigger fan leave every couple days.

WEEK 11 - (05/09/2021 - 05/15/2021) Week 3, Day 17 - FLOWER: 05/11/2021 Doing 2 gallons of water per 5 gallon pot this watering due to lack of runoff in weeks prior. I’m thinking I could be letting the pots dry out a little too long in between so the 1.5 gallons hasn’t been enough for each watering. When I stick my finger into the medium 2 or 3 days after watering it still seems like the soil has plenty of moisture so I wait another day or two. I know fabric pots are supposed to dry out usually in 2-3 days, but the soil still seems too moist, and I don’t want to overwater. It seems like ever since transplanting into 5 gallons and switching them to a 12/12 light cycle, watering got more complicated. Maybe I am overthinking the whole process. I just don’t want to risk ruining my crop, you know? Tap water: 223ppm, 8.6 pH, 70℉ (9 gallons total) + HydroGuard: 9ml/9 gallons + pH Down: 30ml/9 gallons Mixture: 267ppm, 6.0 pH, 70.4℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 1330ppm/1063ppm, 6.3 pH AP#1 - 1310ppm/1043ppm, 6.3 pH AP#2 - 1160ppm/893ppm, 6.7 pH GC#1 - 1350ppm/1083ppm, 6.3 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 3, Day 20 - FLOWER: 05/14/2021 Watered a day earlier than I usually do, with .5 gallons less water per plant. So each plant got a total of 1 gallon of water for their 5 gallon pots. This is really just to take the question out of the back of my mind: Am I letting the pots dry out too much going four days until the next watering? I will check on the plants shortly after they wake up tomorrow to observe their reaction to the watering. None of the plants produced really any runoff, which was boggling to me, because when I water there is usually anywhere between 10-20%, and that’s after watering on the fourth day. Needless to say, I was unable to take readings this time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 3, Day 21 - FLOWER: 05/15/2021 5:30 p.m. - Decided to check on the plants since I watered a day earlier (yesterday) than I have been since transplanting into the 5 gallon fabric pots. This was kind of an experiment to see how the plants would react to watering on the third day rather than the fourth, because I keep doubting myself. Anyway, when I checked in on the plants, a few leaves looked ever so slightly droopy. Not terrible. It appears that some of the leaves had begun to swell up a little as well. Not 100% sure if these are actually early signs of being overwatered this time, or if it’s something I have simply overlooked until now. Just to be sure, I’m going to water once more on the third day to see how the plants respond. The plants seem to be doing well this week. I've finally installed another ScroG net on the second level to help maintain the canopy. Since I cut the first layer of net the plants quickly started to get out of control and began to grow unevenly across the canopy. The trichomes are starting to appear on all of the plants, with the exception of the American Pie #1. This pheno is a little behind. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with how differently this plant was trained compared to her sisters (The manifold/mainline technique was applied). Possibly could have even defoliated her a little too heavy and she's taking a few extra days to bounce back. She's still producing early buds though, which is good. 👌 That just about wraps up this week. Things just keep getting more and more exciting with each journal entry. All the girls should have about 5-7 weeks left in flower before they are ripe for harvest. Hoping to have another tent and light setup by the end of flower so I can get some more seeds started. Thanks for stopping by and spreading the love. And remember: Don't drink and drive, smoke and fly! 🙌

Wie ihr seht ist einiges passiert in den 2 Wochen, ich musste jede Menge Pflanzen hochbinden, ich habe die Thc Bomb Genetik in dem strain unterschätzt! Aber ich wusste es auch nicht besser, die Infos gab's im Nachhinein 😁Aber okay ohne das ging nicht mehr also hab ich es so gemacht 😏 Die eigenen Haupttriebe waren alle zu klein um die Seiten Triebe zu stützten. Morgen wird das letzte mal gedüngt und dann ist auch bald Feierabend, manche Exemplare bekommen sehr schöne pupur Töne und es riecht so wahnsinnig süß nach Kaugummi, richtig klasse As you can see, a lot happened in the 2 weeks, I had to tie up a lot of plants, I underestimated the The Bomb genetics in the strain! But I didn't know any better, the information was in hindsight 😁But okay without that didn't work anymore so I did it 😏 The own main shoots were all too small to support the sides shoots. Tomorrow is fertilized the last time and then it will soon be over, some specimens get very nice pupur tones and it smells so insanely sweet after chewing gum, really great

Week 4: Looking good...

its day 35 since sproud and the plant looks good so far. I removed some leaves and started training her with that bending clips to make the branches stronger. I collected leave mold from the surrounding woods. a lot of white fungy hopefully usefull mycoriza.

From seed to flower I've been impressed with the white fire gelato she's a great strain didn't take much to make her happy and she grew with such life like she was really happy I will agree on that because she smells and taste as great as she looks, the buds was heavy but she held on to them, very strong gelato aroma and taste, very sticky and she is not a big eater.

Didn’t get too many pictures this time but they’re really starting to pack on resin now. They smell so good. Everything is going smoothly. Just gave them a flush with some SLF and Herculean Harvest. Runoff is already pretty significantly low. They’ll be getting the same flush again in a few days and then plain PH balanced water until they get chopped down. Planning on them fading super hard from this point on. All the buds are super dense. Can’t wait to try some sooner than later.

DE: In der fünften Blütewoche zeigen beide Last Dance-Phänotypen ein beeindruckendes Tempo. Der erste Phänotyp präsentiert sich extrem dank, funky und gassig – die Buds sind nun dicht, schwer und beginnen sich sichtbar zu verhärten. Die Harzproduktion explodiert regelrecht, die Trichome sind überall sichtbar und verleihen den Colas ein fast silbernes Glitzern. Der Duft ist intensiv, tief und dominant – ein schwerer Mix aus Gas, Funk und erdiger Süße. Der zweite Phänotyp bleibt weiterhin etwas kompakter, doch seine Blüten sind perfekt ausbalanciert und extrem harzreich. Das Terpenprofil erinnert nun stark an einen fruchtigen Cocktail – süß, cremig und mit einer tropischen Note, die sich von Woche zu Woche weiter entfaltet. Insgesamt eine sehr starke fünfte Blütewoche: beide Pflanzen erreichen jetzt ihre volle Ausdruckskraft. Die Terpene sind außergewöhnlich komplex und einzigartig – jede Pflanze entwickelt ihr ganz eigenes Signature-Aroma. EN: In the fifth week of flowering, both Last Dance phenotypes are showing explosive progress. The first phenotype is extremely dank, funky, and gassy – buds are dense, heavy, and starting to harden noticeably. Resin production has gone into overdrive, with trichomes covering every surface and giving the colas a silvery shine. The aroma is deep, rich, and dominant – a heavy mix of gas, funk, and earthy sweetness. The second phenotype remains more compact but perfectly balanced, with buds that are equally resinous. Its terpene profile now leans clearly toward a fruity cocktail – sweet, creamy, and tropical, becoming more intense each day. Overall, week five marks a major milestone: both plants express their full character, with extremely complex and unique terpenes that make each phenotype stand out in its own way.

Well we are on to week 7, and what a start. I have nicknamed the first one Hulk. It will not stop growing. I defoliate at the end of every week now. I looks like a giant pile of fan leaves when I'm done, but the plants still look full and lush. I was hoping to see some actual flowers by now but nothing as of yet. Maybe by the end of this week they will start to poke out. I did not anticipate such a stretch. This is my first time using this system and it seems to be working rather while. I am trying to go without changing the water now. I want to keep them at this ec for a few weeks so I have been topping up with nutrient water and so far they seem to like it. As long as they stay green and the water stays clear I will continue like this. They are drinking about 2 gallons a day now and eating just as fast. Growing is a true art and I find myself really starting to enjoy the training. I want to make it bigger and better. Already making plans for the next grow. Well I posted up some cool videos and pictures, at least I thought they were, so let me know what you all think. Everyone is so quiet here. Well I will update later on. Keep it growing ya'll.

Mar 24: Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input. Mar 26: Continuing to use 650ppm feed with bloom focus, 2L per plant gives 15% runoff... Runoff ppm is still very high... I wanted to check pH of runoff but the color is so vibrant i cant use the pH drops to view color, need to get a pH probe. Plants are thriving, no issues at all. the extra fan fixed the post-water droop. One plant is bushy and has the most bud sites, One is the smallest but has the most uniform structure, this one has the biggest buds and thickest stalk, One is about in the middle of the 2. Mar 29: one of these girls gets droopy early when its time for water, thought the canopy was too high so i tied down some more, no cigar... gonna try increasing calmag, if that doesent work im going to reposition in the grow box to a side instead of middle, may not need the upper end ppfd...

A partir de esta semana se agrega a la alimentación bac boost y top candy.

Greetings growers,I took the two girls out of the greenhouse because it is getting very hot, they will finish flowering outside. Both are starting to produce beautiful compact flowers that are getting bigger every day. Starting to smell very good around here.😎

Week 5 (20/02 - 26/02) I made no progress with the LST last week, hoping to do better the next grow. Some secondary branches developed more than usually but not as expected. I haven't been effective enough with the training. The last day of the past week, the two fat banana moved into pre-flowering, while the blue cheese is still into vegetative stage. During this week, I will start to add bio-bloom and top-max together with the bio-grow. The light will be to 40 cm from top of the plants at 100% of its power. No changes to the heating/cooling parameters. 20/02 D28: - 21/02 D29: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 1ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. This evening, being secondary branches still flexible, I've tried to horizontally extend them with ropes in order to give them more light, let's see what happens in next two days. 22/02 D30: leafs sprayed with tap water 23/02 D31: watering day. 1 liter of tap water only each plant. Evening check: plants became thirsty; the soil seems to be almost dry even if I watered them this morning. 24/02 D32: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. 25/02 D33: leafs sprayed with water. 1 liter of tap water each because they are growing and drinking a lot. 26/02 D34: Added to 2 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. They seem to grow well and faster. The blue cheese seems to be in pre-flowering, almost a week later than the two fat banana.

Began with equal parts of GH at a very diluted concentration. This week, I increased the concentration to the manufacturer's recommended dosage for seedlings (1/4 tsp per gallon).

As we enter week 6 (day 35) got all except the sogka showing flower. Don't think it's too far behind tho... Added a drop of pk as some showing they are needing the extra phosphorus... Also dropped down to 18/6 to try promote a bit of stretch on the secondary colas On other notes lst has gone generally extremely well and will definitely need to look at more defoliation as we progress After a damn good feed day 35 defoliated on day 36 (see pics)

Pheno 1 produced 12 o and pheno 2 was a terrific yielder producing 16 o. Very happy with quality and yield.
