🥦Flowering Week 2 Stretch Control & Bud Site Activation
Eternity Grow Cup 2026 Sticky Broccoli Feminized
Stage:Flowering Phase Week 2
Day: ~16 since 12/12 switch
🌡️ Environmental Stability
The environment remained stable throughout the second flowering week, allowing uninterrupted progression through the stretch phase.
-Temperature: ~26°C
-Humidity: adjusted to support early flower development
-Light: running at full intensity (720W)
-Airflow: consistent, supporting dense canopy conditions
🌿 Plant Development & Stretch Progress
During this week, the plant continued its final stretch phase, showing strong vertical and lateral development.
-Uniform stretch across the canopy
-Strong upward movement of bud sites
-Noticeable development even in lower branches
-Well structured and evenly distributed canopy
✂️ Defoliation & Light Optimization
Two strategic defoliation sessions were performed during the week.
-Improve light penetration to all bud sites
-Increase airflow within the canopy
-Support uniform bud development
Following defoliation, the plant responded with enhanced growth activity, particularly in previously shaded areas.
🍭 Controlled Lollipopping
A light lollipopping session was carried out in the lower section of the plant.
-Only minimal removal to avoid excessive stress
-Combined carefully with defoliation
-Focus on redirecting energy toward productive bud sites
The majority of the lollipopping up to the SCROG level is planned for Flower Week 3, allowing a staged and controlled approach.
🍵 Irrigation & Feeding
The plant continues to show strong nutrient uptake and hydration balance, supporting ongoing stretch and bud formation
-Watering frequency: every 2 days
-Volume: ~9L per watering
-Nutrient program: Hy-Pro feeding schedule (excluding Spraymix this week)
🌱Strain Observation Sticky Broccoli
-Excellent stretch utilization
-Strong bud site activation across the canopy
-Good tolerance to combined defoliation and lollipopping
-Balanced growth structure under high light intensity
📸 Weekly Summary
Flowering Week 2 was a highly productive transition phase, where stretch was successfully managed and bud sites were activated across the entire canopy.
With strategic defoliation and controlled lollipopping, the plant is now well prepared to shift focus into bud stacking and density development.
The structure is set ,now the real flowering performance begins.
See you in Flower Week 3 🌸✨
