Sticky Broccoli Auto — Week 6 Update
Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms
Stage: Late Stretch / Early Flower
Medium: Coco
Feeding Method: Heavy daily feeds to runoff
⸻
Growth Overview
The plants have exploded in growth this week and are still actively stretching. Daily water demand is extremely high, with most days requiring nearly 1 gallon per plant. Despite aggressive feeding and stretch management, the plants are showing zero stress, strong vigor, and excellent leaf color.
Two distinct phenotypic expressions are now clearly visible across the four plants, with differences in stretch rate and structure.
⸻
Canopy & Training
• Plants began stretching close to the light
• Instead of raising the fixture, taller stems were bent and secured with plant clips
• Canopy remains even and light penetration is well controlled
• No signs of light stress or photobleaching

Nutrient Strategy Notes
• High B demand (Cocos B) is supporting stretch and early flower development
• Green Sensation + Power Buds driving early generative signaling
• Photosynthesis Plus supporting rapid biomass production
• Pure Zym helping maintain clean root zone under heavy feed frequency
• Slight ppm taper beginning as stretch progresses

Overall Assessment
This was a textbook Week 6:
• Heavy feeding handled effortlessly
• Stretch is strong but controlled
• Plants are healthy, vigorous, and highly responsive
• Setup is perfectly tuned for the transition into full flower
