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

So we came to the end guys, these ladies gonna stay in the dark for 36 hours now and get cut on saturday Think i made some mistakes with Topping on earlier stage with Cookies and Cream, and also some mistakes with bubba kush on flower stage, its my first grow and i can say it was a nice experience with them strains 😌 Im gonna share the dry weight and more detailed informations about the strains and the nutes ive used as long as its ready 👌

📆 Semana 9 La planta se asienta plenamente en el cultivo en exterior y muestra una respuesta muy positiva al entorno natural. El crecimiento se vuelve más vigoroso y constante, con una mayor ramificación y una expansión clara de la masa vegetal. La estructura gana densidad y altura de forma progresiva, mientras el sistema radicular continúa consolidándose en el suelo, mejorando la absorción de agua y nutrientes. El color se mantiene estable y saludable, reflejando una adaptación completa al nuevo medio. ⚡ EC: 1.0–1.1 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 20–22°C 🌫️ Humedad: 50–60% 💡 PPFD: luz solar exterior 🌡️ Temp ambiente: 18–26°C 🔥 Nota: Con la planta ya adaptada al exterior, el crecimiento suele acelerarse notablemente. En esta fase se prioriza seguir fortaleciendo estructura y raíz para sostener el desarrollo futuro y maximizar el vigor en las siguientes etapas. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

the plant has developed a lot this week but I notice a slight yellowing which I think is due to the fact that it has not yet received nourishment but that tonight it will receive and we will see what happens and if it settles in place, I will see what to do

All in all, love to thank everyone that made this contest possible, and to all sponsors, and thanks dogdoctor for including me 👌😄 its been a blast, cant wait to smoke this honey and also press some honey 🍯 this one is going to be tasty! Big fat buds on this one, jusat kept stacking up but now chop chop! See uou blut the smoke review guys, and good luck! Love to everyone

Very happy with this strain and pheno, amazing results. A great find ! She grew like a dream from start to finish. Pharma labs test results in at 24% thc. Bravo Serious seeds ! Great work as usual !

Starting to really fill out smell is 6/10 so far very sweet some pine as well

Very happy this week as my friend gave me a female Mac x Purple Punch he was using as a mother plant. That is in an 18 litre soil pot. The 3 Rado Z are now in 15 l autopots fitted with airdomes. A soil mix was made with dutch vega bio soil , Bio grow and silicium flash. The MacPunch I have stripped the lowers and trained it using easy bend clips.

I am going to Hang dry with the entire plant so I will not have wet weight. But yeah dry weight coming soon!

We upgraded! Really thrilled with the new setup. Much better than those cardboard boxes. Pine tree kush was having issues due to the size of the makeshift setup so this tent was very much needed. No nutes as I just transplanted into new soil. I’ll give it a week before I decide if she’ll get one more round of fertilizer before we stop before harvesting.

Auto Magnum has sprouted on first seed. She is looking nice and healthy for a few days old. Everything is looking really good at the moment under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light.

Let me start by saying, I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T CHOP! THESE BABIES ARE GAINING SOME SERIOUS BULK! I can not wait to see them finish out, It's really testing my patience, but I notice more bulk every single day! It's about time to get the chop, they are maturing really quick and I love it. The smells are absolutely insane!!!

I'm not happy with the overall harvest...it produced some good tasty smoke due to fine nutes and a wonderfull strain but i fu**ed it up by using a very bad soil...growth was very slow and also lost like 25g due to budrot/mold...again my fault as i set up ventilation the wrong way (RH was good but some buds didn't get enough airflow) Again i learned alot of things and got 275g of good, great smelling smoke...so not that bad...but could be much better 🙂

Einen schönen Sonntag mal wieder & frohes Neues 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Es läuft alles in allem weiterhin stabil =) Ich tracke und erhalte nach wie vor die Nährstofflösung. Mir ist lediglich ein kleiner Interpretationsfehler unterlaufen… Notorious hat erste Anzeichen von Salzstress durch einen konstant zu hohen EC gezeigt. Kein starkes Schadbild und ziemlich sicher nichts, was den Run oder ihre Entwicklung gefährden würde zum Glück =D Trotzdem hat es mich zu dem Zeitpunkt ehrlich gesagt ziemlich abgefuckt 😅 Ich hätte hier deutlich intensiver hinschauen sollen. Da sie von ihrer Blattstruktur her generell eher hart bzw. rau ist, ist mir der Fehler erst relativ spät aufgefallen, jetzt zeigt sie bereits leichte lokale Verbrennungen. Sonst sind keine klassischen Mängelbilder vorhanden, keine Root-Probleme und keine pH-Ausreißer. Die anderen Ladies performen im selben Reservoir völlig unauffällig 😊 Ich gehe davon aus, hier einen EC-empfindlichen Phäno erwischt zu haben. Natürlich habe ich mich direkt nach dem ausgiebigen Ärgern daran gemacht, die Nährstofflösung etwas zu entspannen =D.. Ich bin jetzt runter auf 1.800 EC und beobachte zunächst ein paar Zyklen des Uptake-Patterns. Danach entscheide ich, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake Frostet fleißig weiter ❄️ Ich finde, sie sieht einfach traumhaft aus 😄 Ihr Geruch hat sich nochmal deutlich intensiviert und geht jetzt klar in Richtung beerig, der Joghurt Teil ist verschwunden =D Bin wirklich gespannt, was da noch kommt und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt 🔥 Purpz ist Aktuell für mich ganz klar der Eyecatcher im Zelt =) Top Frost, sehr schöne homogene Sites und ich meine bereits leichte Anthocyan-Einlagerungen erkennen zu können 😍 Der Geruch geht inzwischen eher in Richtung Diesel, mit einem leicht fruchtigen Abgang 🍋 Schwer zu greifen, aber extrem spannend 😄 Notorious THC Entwickelt sich ebenfalls gut 😊 Abgesehen von den lokalen Burns macht sie insgesamt einen guten Eindruck. Der kushige, eher dumpfe Geruch hat sich manifestiert, allerdings muss man bei ihr schon etwas näher rangehen =) Vom Frost zieht sie gut nach ❄️ Vom Aufbau her habe ich generell den Eindruck, dass sie etwas später dran ist. Dafür sehe ich aber klar das Potenzial auf richtig schöne Buds, die Ansätze sehen sehr vielversprechend aus =D Guzzlerz Hat auch echt gut aufgeholt, bin ehrlich gesagt überrascht 😄 Optisch immer noch etwas zart, das hat sie noch nicht ganz abgelegt, aber von der Entwicklung her würde ich sagen mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit NTHC 👍 Bei ihr meine ich einen leichten bläulichen Schimmer in der jungen Blüte erkennen zu können, für mich bleibt es auch hier absolut spannend =D Geruchs review gibt's hier beim nächsten update. ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung 🔧😊 VPD: 1,35 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt EC: 1.800–1.850 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und Mitfiebern 😊 Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche 🌱

💥💥💥💥💥 C'est le feu 🔥🔥🔥 #trolmaster #madamegrow

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 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 3 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. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

G'day, Things are going well, she's really growing now, having to adjust LST every couple of days to keep her down to fill the area. Bought all the bits to make a scrog net out of pipes and netting which will be installed in next few days. I replaced piping from transparent to black, the transparent ones were starting to grow algae, probs wouldn't cause an issue but didn't wanna take any chances. Changed the reservoir back to black with a spare lid that I had, as the white lid was solar paint I kept being blinded, was getting close to leaving the grow room with a white stick lol Upped the nutrients up to 797 at TDS 0.5. P.s I am really surprised the small plant hasn't had nutrient burn, TDS is like triple what it should be for a plant of that size! Thanks guys... 😊

Get out the way she’s about to blow 💢💣💥 it’s been a hot week this week I’ve had to dim the lights a bit a take the drivers out the tent to cool it down a bit. Might be a good thing she seem to be fading a little so hopefully diming the lights will slow down the rate she’s using nutes. I fed the worms some banana within a couple of days the turned it into fresh casting she seems to have started her swell too. Until next week let’s get it 💪🏽
