Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the second half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: individual feeding schedule/once a week: bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Well, that didn’t go as planned 😅 — snapped a branch while doing LST, so I guess it turned into an unplanned supercrop session. At least I’m learning something new from my mistakes. Other than that, this strain’s super bushy — gonna need to step up my LST game next time.

She’s growing really well. We had two extremely hot days at 30°C, which caused some leaf curling, but overall the plant handled it just fine. The heat didn’t stress her much, thanks to the two CO₂ grow bags I have in place to help manage intense light and higher temperatures.

Mit so einer riesigen Monster Automatic habe ich nicht gerechnet! Normalerweise entlaube ich später aber hier ist es schon so früh nötig. Habe noch nie so riesige Fächer Blätter entfernt bei Autoflower Sorten!

Once again, a week is missing because I had to travel for work, sorry about that. A few days ago I fully set up the net, and the babies are looking great. Keep in mind: no liquid nutrients are being used here. The whole setup is completely organic, using Brotanics Living Soil and a simple watering system. Anyone who hasn’t tested this living soil yet should definitely give it a try. Hopefully work won’t send me away again so I can document everything properly next week. Let me know what you think :)

15 Day dry then trimmed using the Trim Bin. Curing with Grove bags, first harvest filled 3, 1/4lb grove bags. *Updating with clone pictures of this pheno in late flower labeled in diary as you look through, If I pop a new seed of this strain Ill start another diary

During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

she has a sweet smell ... she was taken care of as they deserve all ... she feeds herself with natural products ... she is in her last stage of flowering ... the days are cloudy and there is no sun .. she with a generous sun should be abundant .. I will one day cultivate it ... I help them with a hps focus because I do not have a good sun

Week 11 started, I was hoping for a harvest soon, but looking at buds and comparing to other growers, seems like plants arent quite ready yet. Will harvest at end of week I think. So week 11 has ended, I got myself a better microscope mid-week, looking through microscope and comparing whats written on the internets it looks like it still isnt quite ready. Perhaps I'll go for an early harvest, what could go wrong? Will wait few days to decide if want to harvest at next week start or wait much longer. First grow, zero experience. :D

Days 64 - 70 I just returned from my vacation, and I'm happy to report that the automated watering system worked flawlessly. Although I'm using water-soluble fertilizers, it seems the CalMag from BioBizz settled in the solution, preventing the plants from absorbing it properly, as we can see in the pictures. Aside from that, everything is going smoothly, and the girls are getting closer to their harvest day!

The week started with heavy storms and big rainfalls... the girls are back in the tent 😊 I took out my 60x60x160 tent, a Samsung 85w bulb LED and transferred my Garpsen bars (70w together) from my big tent. It's a bit light as lighting, but looking at the trichos end of the week (and the intense smell in the tent...) I think it's time to start flushing. They got a final half dose of nutrients at the beginning of the week and a very lil haircut, I'll flush them by tomorrow. Can't wait to see what they produce; I'd say between 35 and 45 together, hoping for a better surprise 🙏

Hello This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. Got in here last week and did the last trim up. I'll leave them alone till the end. Found a 8 fingered leaf when trimming up. I like finding even # of fingers on fan leaves. I feel it's a good mutation. Fun to find them too. It's like finding a 4 leafed clover leaf. 😊 Made some kief too. It's Mac and Crack from Seed Stockers reg seeds. 3 of the plants were stretchy, fluffy, sativa's like plants. So I turned them into kief. Nice head high. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Flowering week 7. The buds are slowly getting fatter.

Sticky Broccoli Auto – Harvest Update Strain: Sticky Broccoli Auto Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Grower: Little Lilly Farms Overall Outcome This run didn’t hit the mark. The genetics felt unstable and inconsistent across all four plants—each one expressed very differently in structure, growth, and final bud development. Bud quality leaned airy and loose, lacking density, but was heavily coated in resin and trichomes. Visually appealing frost, but the overall structure didn’t back it up. Terpene profile was underwhelming—nothing loud or complex. Mostly a sweet gas aroma, but lacking depth and punch. ⸻ Harvest & Final Week Timeline 4/1 Fed one plant ½ gallon of previous nutrient mix. Very minimal runoff. 4/2 * 1 gallon of premade feed (from 3/31) used * Small runoff achieved * Other 2 plants received straight RO water (not pH’d) * No noticeable change in color or fade on water-only plants 4/3 ¼ gallon of premade feed mix applied 4/4 – Harvest Begins * Cut down 2 plants * Fit both into the Cannatrol for drying * Buds extremely resinous and sticky * Heavy trichome coverage across both plants * Switched remaining plants to straight RO water moving forward Final Feed Mix (per gallon): * 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom * 2 ml MagCal * 4 ml Green Sensation * 2 ml Cocos A * 8 ml Cocos B * 4 ml Pure Zym 4/6 * Purple coloration showing on sugar leaf edges * ¾ gallon RO water (not pH’d) * ~5% runoff 4/7 * ¾ gallon RO water * Minimal runoff 4/8 * 1 gallon RO water * ~15% runoff 4/9 * ¾ gallon RO water * ~20% runoff 4/10 * 1 gallon RO water * ~15% runoff ⸻ Drying & Cure All 4 plants have been harvested, dried, and are currently being trimmed. Final weight will be recorded once trimming is complete. ⸻ Final Thoughts * Pros: * Extremely resinous buds * Heavy trichome production * Good visual frost * Cons: * Airy, low-density buds * Weak terpene expression * Highly inconsistent phenotypes across all plants Overall, this run felt like a genetic gamble that didn’t fully pay off. While the resin production was impressive, the lack of density and terp complexity made this one fall short of expectations.

The seed had already sprouted after 24 hours and is now watered once a day.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G
