Sticky Broccoli Auto — Week 3 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Event: Eternity Cup Stage: Late Veg (Pre-Flower Transition Approaching) ⸻ Growth Overview Week 3 showed aggressive vegetative expansion. Plants are stacking nodes quickly with strong lateral branching and tight internodal spacing. No visible pistils yet, but structure suggests pre-flower is approaching soon. Feeding frequency has increased to near-daily, which aligns with rapid coco dry-back under elevated PPFD and warmer temps. Plants are handling higher EC without tip burn or clawing, indicating strong uptake and healthy root function. ⸻ Light Settings 2/5 — Spectrum Adjustment • 60% Cool • 40% Warm • 0% IR • 0% UV • 430 PPFD This spectrum favors vegetative growth by emphasizing blue light for tighter structure while maintaining enough red for balanced development. ⸻ Environment 2/6 • Temp: 84°F • RH: 69% VPD is on the higher transpiration side at that temperature. This explains the heavier feeding demand and strong nutrient pull. Plants are metabolically active and drinking accordingly. ⸻ Watering & Nutrient Log All nutrient amounts listed per gallon. ⸻ 2/6 • 1 gallon mixed • ¼ gallon per plant via auto system • 1050 PPM • 5.8 pH .5 ml Silicium 2 ml Mag-Cal 10 ml Cocos A 6 ml Cocos B 1 ml Royal Rush 4 ml Pure Zym 4 ml Photo + 2 ml Fish Sh!t 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Notes: Elevated PPM largely from Scientetics Mag-Cal addition. No signs of toxicity; plants appear to be responding positively. ⸻ 2/7 • Light defoliation • Cleaned lower growth to prevent sprayer interference • Removed 2 larger fan leaves per plant for penetration • 5-gallon batch mixed • Auto system ran 2 minutes • 5.8 pH • No runoff Nutrient mix remained identical. ⸻ 2/8 • Auto system ran 3 minutes • Small runoff achieved • 1250 PPM • 5.8 pH Same nutrient ratios maintained. Observation: 1250 PPM in week 3 is aggressive for autos, but structure and leaf posture suggest they’re metabolizing efficiently. ⸻ 2/10 • Removed 2 large top leaves per plant to open side branching • 2 gallons mixed • Auto ran 3 minutes • ½ gallon per plant • Small runoff achieved • 900 PPM • 5.8 pH Adjusted mix: .5 ml Silicium 2 ml Mag-Cal 10 ml Cocos A 6 ml Cocos B 1 ml Royal Rush 4 ml Pure Zym 2 ml Fish Sh!t 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Photo + removed this feed cycle. Lowered PPM to 900 — a smart reset to prevent salt stacking while maintaining daily feeding cadence. ⸻ Nutrient Function Breakdown Silicium • Strengthens cell walls • Improves stress tolerance • Supports upright leaf posture Mag-Cal • Provides calcium for cell structure • Magnesium for chlorophyll production • Essential under high LED intensity Cocos A & B • Primary macro base (NPK + micros) • Drives vegetative expansion Royal Rush • Early metabolic stimulator • Supports nitrogen utilization Pure Zym • Enzyme product • Breaks down dead root matter • Prevents medium compaction in coco Fish Sh!t • Microbial inoculant • Enhances nutrient conversion Ruby Fulvic • Chelation support • Improves micronutrient uptake • Increases efficiency at higher EC Photo + (earlier feeds) • Carbohydrate support • Microbial fuel • Supplemental metabolic enhancer ⸻ Technical Observations • Feeding frequency is appropriate for 84°F + 430 PPFD • Achieving slight runoff on 3-minute cycle is ideal • Dropping from 1250 to 900 PPM was a strong preventative move • No pistils yet — expect pre-flower within 5–10 days At this pace, they are setting up for a strong stretch phase. Structurally, they look primed for a controlled but productive transition into flower.

Plant streached out a bit more this week not sure if it is over yet. Flower is coming along and the buds are starting to form. Now the fun part starts. I'm sure everyone loves the flower phase. Did a defoliation, seemed to work the first time so I will keep doing it. Took two of the three plants an put them in a tent. There is no space in the flower room and did not want to compromise the grow. I guess I was a little over anxious and poped these seeds a bit early. No big deal, a tent is always good. It will be interesting to see the difference between the two areas flowering. This will come down to cheap led fixture vs 1100 true watts of the timber grow vero 29 3000k cobbs. Fornthe cheap led fixtures I have 2- 1600 watt, a 1000 watt and a 600 watt. Ok this is the advertised watts and not true watts. I don't know the true watts either. I have to say they seem to work great for veg and thats what I used them for until I ran out of room. I am hoping the reflective tent will help. Any comments or tips are greatly appreciated. Happy growing. Cheers!

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Sweet Seeds, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Purtroppo ho perso i file delle scorse settimane e dovrò reiniziare il report da ora scusate per il disagio Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

This week went really well ! Today we are at day 79 from seed an looking beautiful! One Forbiddin Runtz got chopped an hung to dry out an the rest are still flushing out through the rest of this week! Very nice looking fades coming along on the fan leafs from purple to green , so beautiful ! So happy with these genetics from @fastbuds_genetics! Super sticky an smell is so amazing, room full of purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz the smell you can’t beat, so many berries!!! Well stay tuned for next week! Cheers y’all

3 lemon autos still growing and only starting to preflower hopefully they turn out to be super autos 12 weeks in and still growing

3/28/25 chopped and humidity was a little high starting off 3/30/25 have them drying at 60% and 70° 4/3/25 Still needing a day or so of drying to be at a stable humidity Beautiful plant. Fan leaves with Triched out patterns visibly everywhere. Even though i chopped quite a bit off of the plant, i still got quite a bit bigger yield than i expected. All sizable nugs. Pulled 65 grams.

Fresh rez swap and she flaring all over again. Nee pistols shooting, hopefully get another 15% over the last 2 weeks

2024/01/20 : as it survived, shiva skunk got a decent pot (1 gallon smartpot 50% canna coco pro / 50% hydroton) and 3 others are going on LST... 3 days growth : afghani #1 - 19.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 17.5 cm (+4.5) hindu kush - 16.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+2.0) 2024/01/23 : shiva skunk looks bad, with leaves going down and yellowing... it didn't like its transplant. The others are looking OK. I may have seen first pistils... The heights are : afghani #1 - 22.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 18.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 18.5 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 11.0 cm (-0.5) 2024/01/24 : spayed with Foliar Spray from B.A.C. last night, don't know if it was OK for shiva skunk, we'll see. 3 others are preflowering without a doubt now. afghani #1 - 24.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 20.0 cm (+1.5) hindu kush - 21.0 cm (+2.5) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+0.5) 2024/01/25 : shiva skunk is struggling but it's not done yet. And I think stretch began for others.

Week five has arrived. So far so good she is doing great and smelling dank.👌👌👌👍

Všechno probíhá hladce, jediné co nedodržuji je vpd. Musím říct, že club41 je neskutečný... Osypany jako kdyby na něm byl půl roční prach a to máme teprve 5 týden a bez UV. Další kolo pojedu s UV doplnkem a opravdu mě zajímá jak to dopadne.

Week 9

SATURDAY 9/21: After having had my entire rig and all my cured produce stolen from me by my pardner in crime, I'm starting from scratch. (That f**king asshole!) Special thanks to the fabulous folks at Fastbuds for sending me some replacement beans!!! I mylar'ed up a closet and got a little light to get them started with. It's 3500k with some extra 660nm and draws about 200w from the wall. I am going old-school this time around..no pre-soak and no paper towels. I bought some soluble myco + tricho + all the good beneficial bacteria and mixed a little into a liter of distilled water and wetted rapid rooter plugs. I planted all three Stardawg beans in the rapid rooter plugs and put them in a little humidome under 9w of pink light. TUESDAY 9/24: All three emerged with no problems, but one is still wearing a "hat".. THURSDAY 9/26: All three had taproots sticking out a few inches, so I planted them in their 3 gallon pots and put little mini-domes over them. FRIDAY 9/27: I knew better than to try to start some seedlings with no humidifier, but the asshole stole mine, so I tried it anyway..I have several seedlings that probably aren't gonna make it, but so far all 3 x Stardawgs look fine. I wet them down and put some trays of water in the closet to try and bring up the RH. TUESDAY 10/1: Okay, so only one survived, and she's starting to grow.👍 My soil mix was too hot for them...rookie mistake... I finished working on my homemade frame and mounted 6 x 120w quantum boards to it, but one of my 3 x 240w drivers failed, so I gotta get a replacement sometime in the next few weeks. I still gotta get my ventilation squared away before I can even run them.😎 FRIDAY 10/4: She's my lone Fastbuds plants..got high hopes for her. She'll be surrounded by a bunch of Candy Cane hybrids.

Well week 5 of bloom is complete, and this week brought a few challenges. Humidity in my area has been through the roof, close to 100%. My heavy-duty equipment was struggling to bring my tent to acceptable late flowering levels, sometimes reaching over 60% RH, especially at night when the plant was respirating more. Additionally, her pale yellow color, and leathery leaves didn't excite me too much. If you remember, we had a severe heat wave a couple of weeks ago, which contributed to that. But also, since I messed up the ScrOG training, and regrettably decided not to super-crop her, a fair share of the leaf problems were due to light stress as well, as I didn't want to sacrifice lower colas, so I let it go. My biggest mistake this grow, was not paying attention to her the one day she decided to stretch nearly a foot, and was unable to be weaved into the net the next day without being snapped in half. My second biggest mistake is NOT snapping it in half, and letting it repair itself. I wouldn't have had nearly as much bleaching of leaves I think. This week, and I'm assuming because nearly all chlorophyll was depleted from her fan leaves, I didn't notice much of any change from last week. Her buds seemed to be about the same mass, and the stigmas still had the same ratio of red to white coloration. I suspected she was dead, or dying, or just...done. Not all genetics will transform all of their stigmas from white, and not all genetics will have their trichomes turn amber. So, I did a few things to confirm that suspicion. First, I looked at her trichomes on various buds closely with a microscope. They were almost all cloudy, with very very few amber. That told me that she was at an acceptable level of ripeness, even if she could have went longer, assuming she was still alive. Next, I removed the pea gravel mulch I was using in the raised bed, so I could get a closer look at the soil she was growing in, and more specifically, her roots. The soil, although moist a few inches deep, was not at the level I expected, and I think I have not been watering her enough. I don't think I'll be using a gravel mulch again. On the plus side, it did help prevent fungus gnats, as there was zero the whole grow, apart from an early week when I placed some solo cups to germinate on top of the bed, but after removing them, the fungus gnats disappeared with them. Also while inspecting the soil, I carefully dug down to inspect some of her primary roots. They were actually dry, despite the surrounding soil being moist. This could explain why she wasn't drinking much if any for the better part of the week. So, given her dry foliage, dry roots, and ripe-enough trichomes, I decided it was time to harvest her, earlier than expected. Let's also not forget that I was frightened this week with some high humidity scares, so growing longer, and possibly for no reason if she was dead or barely alive, was not in the cards. I've dealt with my fair share of bud rot before, and I would rather try what I have of her now, than to wait the extra week or so for her to be fully ripe. So, that is what I did, on the last day of the week -- I chopped her down, cut off some larger fan leaves, and hung her upside down. This, of course, was after removing the raised bed. It took me a while to empty about 45 gallons of soil so I could move it, but in doing so, I noticed a lot of beneficial critters, and nothing bad. Such critters included small centipedes, which feed on other insects, and soil mites which eat dead organic matter. I set the tent to dry at around 72F and 55 RH. And now we wait for about a week before trimming. One thing is for sure -- I am very proud of this grow, despite all these flaws. She smells incredible -- like pure citrus emanating throughout my house. This is a very strong-smelling plant. As a bonus, I've included a time-lapse video of the entire grow from start to finish in the last media above. Check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be back for the harvest week for the dry weight in about a week or so, after we're done drying and trimming.

Put a lot of love into this grow. She grew for 4 months from seeds to harvest. About 5 weeks and 56 days of flower. Overall great strain to grow and great site @growdiaries for giving the platform and help from other growers. I’ve learned so much about growing and especially about this strain.

Jour 69: Installation de la Mars Hydro TSW2000 et rempotage de 6l a 11l

Sept 10th She was ankered to the fence with rope. Notthing to report really. Looking great no sign of mould. Heads are yellow looking. Pretty bizarre. From a distance its is really striking...does'nt show in pictures sadly She is next up for defoliation, together with Killer Kush. Few more days rain till sunny period..fingers crossed. Happy growing everyone

Week 3 is done 👍
