The smoke is beautiful! and that is without cure. Flavours of fuel and citrus coming through, hopefully they come out after cure. Buds are solid but not that dense. But trichome covered buds to the point that it was very difficult to trim for more than 5 minutes without cleaning off my scissors.
Recommend growing 4 or more of these to get a good amount on hand.
very little popcorn buds.
will update with weights and smoke after drying and short cure. She was a pleasure to grow! likes the calmag. so frosty and greasy! When it has been a day with high temperatures don't be afraid to feed twice! While packing on the weight she can be very thirsty. If fed well she will reward you with frosty hard nugs! Give this strain a try!

Week 14 complete..and she's still going!!
Trichomes are getting there..slowly but surely!! Buds are really fattening up and she smells bloody lovely!! Earthy pine and lemon/citrus.
It's just a waiting game now. Just a couple of white pistils left so I'm thinking this could be the week!! But she may still need another..I'm in no rush!!
The packet says 10-12 weeks but she's well past that so it shows patience it's extremely important!!
Still giving her water at .5l per 24hrs. And when the tricomes are more towards at least 70% milky and the other 30% a mix of amber and clear I'll starve her of water for a couple of days and that should finish her off!!
Really looking forward to seeing what the root ball looks like as it should have a crazy mycillium network that should have regulated everything as well as it has!!
I'm also adding a short video diary at the end of every week!!
---------------
Next I'll be doing either of the following in fully organic living soil..as I've not decided yet - 2 x photoperiod Chocolope by DNA Genetics (Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze) 🍫 or 2 x Tangie Sour by Riserva Privada (East Coast Sour Diesel x Tangie)
Thanks for stopping by - feel free to comment, give and feedback and follow - and I'll have another update next week which may be the last!! 🤙

Day 57 about to do my first schwazz
Day 60 did a heavy defoliation. Not quite a schwazz. Almost Filled a 2 gallon bucket up with clippings a lot more light and air penetration is available. I think she’ll bounce back nicely
Day 64. As the week comes to an end. I am very pleased with the progress. Canopy is nice and even. You can’t tell which one is the main cola. And for a little 300 watt light even the lower flowers are getting pretty dense. Still a long way to go. I would imagine this one will take over 90 days before see Amber. But we shall see

hi, one more week, the height of the plants with sativa genetics has gotten very out of control, and they were only there for 24 days at 18h. I'm going to lose a lot of performance for it... Since I started growing the plants, they showed slight symptoms of virosis, and the acid dough plant seems to be affecting it quite a bit, showing the typical mosaic and curved leaves. Not everything is bad since the plants show good health apart from the virus, but between the uncontrolled height and the virus problem I am somewhat disappointed with the growth.
That is all for now.
Regards

This plant i ripped out with roots and hung it up with them. Drying 1 week in 15-19°C and 50% humidity. Cured for 1 week and then trimmed carefully. Nice BIG smelly and tasty buds came out of this beauty. Sweet smoke with berry/flowery taste and relaxing effect. I was expecting more like indica effect but nevermind. Good for stoning at home with nearest. She has also calming effect after crazy/angry day.

420 Fastbuds Week 9
Cherry Cola Auto
What up grow fam. Week 9 for these girls and from the looks they are getting really close to being ready to chop. The smell is absolutely heavenly sweet. When pulling dead leafs off your hands get sticky as can be so keep some alcohol close by.
All in all Happy Growing

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step.
21/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed almost no run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale).
Did some light pruning also.

This regular seed has been growing great for the first 5 to 6 weeks then after this yellow wing has started. It seems to be getting back on track with the new growth. Didn’t want to flip this until I got back on track.
Fed with lotus week 4

Sticky Broccoli Auto — Week 5 Update
Stage: Early Flower (Week 1)
Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms
⸻
Growth Overview
Week 5 marks the official transition into flower, and all four Sticky Broccoli autos are responding strongly. The two larger plants have entered an aggressive stretch phase, showing more sativa-leaning internodal expansion than expected for an indica-dominant cultivar. The two smaller plants remain shorter and bushier, expressing a more classic indica structure.
Overall vigor is excellent across the tent. Leaf color is vibrant, stems are thickening rapidly, and there are no visible deficiency or toxicity symptoms.
⸻
What’s Happening This Week (Plant Physiology Breakdown)
This week represents the flower initiation + stretch overlap, one of the most metabolically demanding phases of an auto:
1. Rapid Stretch (Hormonal Shift)
• Plants are responding to increased flowering hormones (gibberellins and auxins)
• Internode spacing is increasing rapidly on the larger phenos
• Energy is being redirected toward vertical growth while flower sites are forming
This explains why the two larger plants are stretching “harder” than expected, despite indica genetics.
2. Root Demand & Water Uptake Increase
• Daily feeding to runoff is necessary because:
• Root mass has expanded significantly
• Transpiration rates are high due to stretch
• Coco dries faster under increased metabolic load
The initial underwatering sign on one larger plant (2/18) aligns perfectly with this surge in demand.
3. Nutrient Uptake Shift
• Nitrogen demand is still present (for stretch), but tapering
• Phosphorus and potassium uptake are ramping up
• Enzyme activity and carbohydrate metabolism are increasing rapidly
Your slight drop from ~1100 ppm to ~1000 ppm combined with consistent runoff resets kept the root zone perfectly balanced during this sensitive transition.
4. Post-Defoliation Response
• The 2/20 defoliation and lollipopping improved:
• Light penetration to lower sites
• Airflow through the canopy
• Hormonal focus on top flower sites
The strong recovery seen by 2/21 confirms the plants were ready for it.
⸻
Watering & Feeding Strategy
Medium: Coco
Irrigation: Auto-watering system
Frequency: Near-daily
Runoff Target: 10–30% depending on reset goal
The alternating heavier runoff days (30%) and lighter days (5–15%) is ideal for:
• Preventing salt buildup
• Maintaining stable EC in the root zone
• Supporting rapid stretch without overfeeding
⸻
Nutrient Mix (Per Gallon)
• 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom
• 8 ml Cocos A
• 12 ml Cocos B
• 1 ml Green Sensation
• 1 ml Power Buds
• 4 ml Pure Zym
• 5 ml Ruby Fulvic
• 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus (added 2/24)
PPM: ~1000
pH: 5.8–5.9
⸻
Plant Status Summary
• Stretch is strong but controlled
• Root zone fully reset and balanced
• No signs of stress post-defoliation
• Flower sites stacking rapidly
• Photosynthesis support added at the perfect time
This week sets the foundation for bud size, structure, and final yield. If stretch continues another 7–10 days, that’s completely normal for autos expressing hybrid vigor.

Day 76 Flowering: Ir seems we have a longer flowering pheno of the mimosa Lemon !!.
She is a huge bushy, heavy calyx laden monster!!.
It has been a roller coaster so far with this pheno of the strain. Watching the huge explosion of growth in the stretch period was amazing and I expected huge thick donkey dick colas like grows of others had shown so i was dissapointed for the majority of the flowering period with how she was progressing. Loose, Berry like patterns were all over the long stems so i knew it would be a "wait and see" ending but I now see the potency and beauty of these ripening classy looking queens. Up close ,her colours are really varied and bright with purples, reds, greens and the ripening fire brown pistils. I do not begrudge her another week flowering now and expect she will benefit from it .
Her smell is potent lemon/fuel now and very strong. Hopefully she will finish soon.
Be safe and well ..

Week 5🌸 done, first day of week 6
They are developing beautifully
Studio & Rainbow Gelato are heavy stinkers - sweet + gassy
It seems like Bruce Banner in the back could get more feeding
Will up the volume of water a little in the following week
I take out a few leafes here and there, don’t seem to stress them a bit
At nighttime it gets pretty cold, 16/17 degrees so some of the pistils tops (Blütenstempel) are getting dark

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 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th)
the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G
my overview of strain with details:
the seeds:
unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain
the plant :
in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant ,
she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself ,
fresh buds on plant :
buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell
dried buds:
very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet
smoke :
very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly
