First off, I hope all who visit this journal watch the timelapse. I'm very happy with how it turned out. The GSC is in the foreground. Comparing the beginning to the end shows just how dramatically my plant has grown in the past week. This plant now has a photo-period neighbor! I have changed the light schedule back to 18-6 to accommodate. Her chronicles will be in a separate journal. Towards the end of week two, I noticed the leaves were forming brown spots that I took as a sign of calcium deficiency. To treat this, I used a gallon of (hard) tap water, adding calcium to the reservoir. Luckily this seems to have done the trick! The spots have been absent on all subsequent leaf growth. Sometime in the middle of this week, I had to re balance the pH from ~7 to ~6. Perhaps this pH fluctuation came from the tap water transfusion. In an effort to raise the RH in the tent, I've repetitively spilled a small amount of water on the floor of the tent. Doing this keeps the RH around 45-50%. I've made some other small changes to my grow setup as shown in the pictures. Prior to this week, I'd thought my plant was hopelessly behind developmentally compared to other user's because I'd compare their week two plants to mine. Luckily, this week has seen some growth! It's crazy how fast they shoot off after their first three-fingered leaves form. The first "real" set of leaves to grow in (not three-fingered yet), seemed to take forever to grow into their full size while not much else (besides the roots) seemed to grow. This week's three-pointed leaves have practically fully formed already. Alongside them, are the beginnings of yet more leaves! I'm not certain what I will do this next week. I may start LSTing this plant, though I'm not sure when exactly I should do this. My original plan for my plants was to implement a screen of green using a trellis. I have sense realized this may not be the best approach while using a DWC, because water changed would be made much more difficult. Have any of you DWC growers experiment with this? Is it worthwhile? I will likely not replace the water for another week, though that's not set in stone. I appreciate any advise regarding the training techniques I mentioned, water switch outs and anything else that may be relevant to this grow. I will more than likely ask a few designated questions. To those who take the time to answer, thank you!

Spotted some budrot again. This time I had enough of it and didn't want to risk further rot, so I decided to harvest them and not let them flower for another week. Forgot to take pictures before the trim, they look silly now without the support from the copperdreads and rubberwires haha. They had 8 weeks of flowering, I'm glad that 1 out of 2 came out nicely. The other one is just another regular looking outside plant lol. I always give them a first trim, so the buds can dry better, faster, safer. After some days or maybe at the end of drying, i will trim them again. You can expect the final update with pictures between 7 to 14 days from now. ps, Somehow the beautifull colors from the better plant doesn't show properly when filming or taking pictures, neighter am I a professional photographer. But ill promise to take better ones, once the buds got the final trim and got dried.

🥦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 🌸✨

This plant stretched so nice, theres perfect leaf to bud ratio so i didnt have to defoliate. I also poured a full bucket 1200ppm trough the coco so she got fres nutrients all over and old salts are gone.

Going really well, getting big colas! Had to do a lot of defoliation as they were really bushy, blocking air & light & also starting to rub up against each other & also sweating leaves. Removed a lot of popcorn growth & lower growth that wasn't getting enough light, this created more space for air& light around the colas. Super sticky & very smelly.

Currently sitting at day 38 of flower. Forbidden Soda- Looks incredible, buds are a pinkish purple. Smell is a fruity tangerine Forbidden Dream pheno #1 - this pheno is the beat smelling and looking, started turning purple from the onset of flower, the smell is like grape soda mixed with sour patch kids. Forbidden Dream kush pheno: this was the pheno that I though hermied, it’s not possible that they were just calyxs building on the top buds. They never got bigger, didn’t release pollen, and some now have pistils thru them, but will see once harvest time. Very impressed with the forbidden Dream strain, as for the forbidden soda while it does look incredible , this was selected from 3 different 12/12 seeds where the other two were not good. The forbidden dream seems to have better phenotypes overall and buds are a lot denser..

Flower is in its last week might push another half week out but i already stated flush at the beginning of the week as you can see the chlorophyll beginning to flush out ☃️😋🎄

The plants are really throwing lots of hairs Some of the buds almost look white ⚪️ Rqs sweet skunk is starting to fatten up A little more stretch out of fast buds mystery #2 gonna do a heavier defoliation on it soon Gonna give sweet skunk about 3-4 more weeks, maybe more, just gonna play it by ear

Letting mother nature do her thing, lol. Im learning a lot . Got my pots tied down to the deck and supported with other dirt pots and water jugs, lol. I wonder how big they would be if I planted them in the ground! Going to half to hire help come harvest time lol

Day 66, she continues the very healthy flowering 🙌 size 67 cm👏🏻👏🏻 temperature 24º C ☀️, humidity 60% 💧 watering 750 ml alternating one day with nutrients and another without nutrients with osmotized water 💦💦 Session 45 min. of binaural sounds for growth and healing 🎼 and music 😉👍

This is my first Ganja farmer run and so far im loving it!! She is not as thick a big and full as I usually like them but she is definitely showing promise!!!

Into week 7 and all is good. All are in flower and swelling out very nicely. Ethos OG Kush is frosty and smells like a citrus grove. Barney's Purple is an absolute beast. Her stretch was impressive for an autoflower and she is almost 48in high. Her flowers are swelling nice and she has become much more fragrant in the last week. Fastbuds Zkittlez is frosty and swelling nice. She is also very fragrant, smelling like sweet candy. Seedsman Pink Kush CBD is doing well, beautiful dark purple flowers and leaves. Lights are still 18/6. No nutes. Monitoring trichomes daily looking for changes in color and clarity in preparation for harvest.

*ADVISE NEEDED* The day before yesterday I discovered a huge error in my system. I placed filter material in the feed-throughs of the breeding boxes. This is to prevent the roots from growing together over time. However, what I caused with that is very difficult to explain. The bottom line is that the distribution of food and circulation was actually not good at all. This also explained the differences in the water temperature, but also PH and EC values. That is now completely under control because it now runs stably for 2 days. However, you can see that the records have had a bad start. I am thinking about starting over. Week 3. Week 2 was looking for the correct settings for my system. I found out that the temperature in the bins is quite different. When I set the water chiller to 19 degrees, it all flows fine into the first container. There it rises about 0.5 degrees per bin. The margin of the chiller is about 1 degrees, causing too many fluctuations in the system, with tray 1 becoming too cold and the last one too cold. I solved this by shielding the box at the inlet of the tent with heat-protective foil. I also put a fan on the water chiller. If that catches on, the entire loft heats up, whith more fluctiations. However, I have enough space to measure very precisely and I am getting more and more control. I think the brown leaves were the cause of much too hot water. Since I have the water temperature under control, I see that the new leaves are growing nicely. Moreover, since yesterday (13-5) I received the nutrition. 10 days late. I just finish the root scheme I think. That is still 3 days a 70 mm per day combined with BioBizz Heaven. I tried to take some pictures of the roots and some close ups. I hold the lid with my left hand and with my right hand I try to take a picture zoomed in (max). While the wind makes the roots dance past my lens😵 Something different than usual ... Hope you like it. If you see something that needs to be addressed, let us know. It is my first breeding so there will undoubtedly go wrong. This week I also connected the water reservoir with which I can flush the entire system at once. With this I also control the Ph in the system. Will post photos soon.

Not much growin on this week just watering and letting them grow. No smell yet Increasing light to 80% Nutrients in previous week and next week

the plant has built an incredibly strong trunk that with great difficulty you can even shake the plant a little.The cold prevails unfortunately but the plant seems to cope with it and produ flowers

🥦 runtz x layer cake 🥦 peso: 490 g entre dos plantas cogollos: muy pegajosos, resinosos, duros y olorosos. buen tamaño sabor y aroma: fruity dulzon conclusión: productiva y de calidad. por ponerle una pega, huele demasiado fuerte el último mes y medio

04/11 - (M) - As stated on my last update mom came back strong from losing a week with no feed because of drip emitter malfunction - Ran a hard defilation to remove dead or dying leaves - Res was cleaned out and reloaded with a fresh nute feed clean water heavy. 04/11 - (C) - The babies came back from the PPM burn as previously stated - Had some yellowing going on as well but after flush and slow dose nutrient/clean water feed their green is coming back strong.
