wolfvb ๐ฑ Week 1: Popping Beans for the Eternity Grow Cup 2026! ๐
Strain: Sticky Broccoli Automatic (Zamnesia)
Method: Direct to Soil Germination
Sponsors: Zamnesia & Plagron
๐ The Journey Begins
Welcome to my official entry for the Eternity Grow Cup 2026! Iโm stoked to be running this sponsored grow, powered by the legends at Zamnesia and Plagron. We are kicking things off with a strain that combines heavy-hitting Indica power with a jolt of Sativa energy: Sticky Broccoli Automatic.
Strain Spotlight: The Sticky Truth
Just fire genetics. Sticky Broccoli Automatic is a genetic masterpiece, crossing the resin-drenched Sticky Beast with the legendary Green Crack.
To break it down, we're looking at a lineage of (Bubble Kush x Critical) x Green Crack.
This mix is lethal:
Sticky Beast: Brings that sweet, heavy Indica calm (thanks to the Bubble Gum x OG Kush x Critical heritage).
Green Crack: Injects a rush of fruity energy and mental clarity.
The result? A 90% Indica-dominant autoflower that hits hard with 23% THC but keeps the flavor profile jumping with sweet, floral, and spicy notes. This isn't just broccoli; it's the sticky icky kind.

She is growing steadily and slow and taking her time, I guess it's because she has to find her way around the secret under her.

She is growing nicely, hopefully the roots go down as planed.
Been watering the lower soil more than the soil hiding the vase under, and go around it nicely.. will appreciate any tips!

wolfvb ๐ฟ Week 5 Update: Breaking Dominance & Structural Shaping
Grow Environment & Conditions
Light Cycle: 18/6
Training Method: LST (Low Stress Training)
Pest Control: Active monitoring via yellow sticky cards (No current infestations noted).
Weekly Observations & Actions
This week was all about manipulating the architecture of the plant. Iโve officially moved into the vegetative training phase to increase my final yield potential.
LST Execution: Iโve applied 90ยฐ LST clips to the main terminal. By pinning the main apex down, I am successfully redistributing auxins (growth hormones) to the lower lateral branches.
Stem Health: The main stalk is showing great flexibility. No "knuckling" or stress fractures observed at the bend site.
Growth Response: Within 24 hours of clipping, the secondary nodes began turning upward toward the light source, confirming the break in apical dominance.
Root Zone: Maintaining consistent moisture levels. The plant is currently housed in a smaller starter pot nested within the main container Iโm keeping an eye on root-bound signals before the final stage.
Nutrient & Water Log
Feeding: Continuing with the base veg formula.
pH Level: Stable at 5.8 โ 6.0 (Targeting the sweet spot for coco).
Runoff: Minimal, ensuring no salt buildup in the early stages.
The "Kewpie" Guard ๐ถ
The garden guardians are keeping a close watch. They seem to be providing +5 to "Vibe Stats."

wolfvb Week 6: The "Vase" Vision Taking Shape ๐บ๐ฅฆ
The Update: We are moving into Week 6 and the Sticky Broccoli is really starting to find her rhythm. After the heavy LST and the 90-degree bend last week, now I have tide her up to shape her more in the right direction.
she hasn't skipped a beat. The recovery time was almost zero, this strain is resilient! ๐ช
The Experiment (Root Reveal): The most exciting part of this Cup run is what's happening below the soil. Iโm keeping the down "nursery" pot moist to encourage those roots to dive deep into the vase underneath. The goal is to get them thick and woody before the big "reveal." It requires a lot of patience not to peek, but I trust the process!
Plant Health:
Structure: The canopy is evening out nicely thanks to the LST clips.
Signs of Flower: Keeping a close eye on the nodes. I'm expecting to see the first pistils popping any day now as she transitions.
Guardian: The Kewpie doll is still on duty, ensuring no bad vibes enter the tent. ๐ถ
Next Steps: Just steady watering (one-handed style! ๐ค) and letting her stretch into her final shape.
Hey my Buddy, love this update, you can really see the plant settling in and finding her rhythm. Slow and steady at this stage is actually a very good sign.
First of all, I have to say it again: I love that little tattooed guardian watching over the garden ๐
It gives character, intention, and good energy to the grow. Plants feel care.
Just my humble opinion, based on what I see and my own experience:
๐ฑ General plant health
She looks healthy overall, leaf color is nice, structure is clean, and there are no obvious stress signals.
This is a solid vegetative foundation.
Autos especially benefit from:
โข Consistency
โข Minimal stress
โข Letting them set roots before pushing too hard
Youโre doing that well so far ๐
๐ง Watering & pot size
With a 2.38 L pot, watering volume and timing become very important.
0.15 L per 24h can be fine, but Iโd be careful not to turn it into a routine just because itโs โdaily.โ
Iโd rather:
โข Let the pot tell you when it needs water
โข Lift it and feel the weight
โข Allow a bit of dry-back between waterings
Again, slightly underwatering is safer than overwatering, especially in small containers.
Training & structure
Pulling her down early and letting her come back up is a smart move ๐
Just remember with autos:
โข Gentle training only for the most part
โข No rush
โข Let her show you where she wants to go
Sheโll tell you when sheโs ready for the โreal shaping.โ
Feeding
Root Juice at this stage makes sense.
Personally, I wouldnโt push much more yet, roots first, everything else later.
If she stays happy:
โข No need to increase EC fast
โข Green sensation later will shine more when sheโs actually demanding it
Overall, this looks like a calm, intentional grow, and thatโs exactly what autos like.
As always, this is just my humble opinion, trust your instincts, observe the plant, and donโt be afraid of small mistakes. Theyโre how we all learned.
Youโre doing good. Keep enjoying the process ๐ฑ
Your garden is clearly in caring hands, guardian included ๐
Growers Love my friend ๐
@DogDoctorOfficial, thanks you so much for the detailed information, and actually I use a make shift pot 9L and 2L in top will be removed later to show the roots and the plants growing in top of the vase underneath. Hopefully it turns as I imagined it
@DogDoctorOfficial, ๐๐คฉ thanks so much, they are there to over see the quality ๐ and keep the plants company instead of me popping my head inside allday long ๐๐๐
@wolfvb, Brother a must in all gardens and something missing in the majority of them ๐๐๐ well done my friend and i believe that it will be f great help ๐๐๐ Growers Love ๐๐๐
@Organic473, she is kinda in a make shift pot the top part with the white cover will be removed later when the root develop to expose the vase underneath. She is in a 9l pot
Hey dude, your little one looks fine. The slow growth may also be due to the fact that you are keeping the small ones in the same tent as the large ones. This means that the light intensity is a little too strong.
And, in my opinion, your fans are a little too powerful.
But since there are no visible problems yet, you are not doing anything seriously wrong. However, I must admit that I have little experience with autoflowering; I prefer photoperiod. Further experience will come with time.
