Sticky Broccoli Eternity GrowCup2026

zerozerofarms 4 out of 5 have germinated without any issues and are now in a mix of Plagron Cutting soil and BioBizz Allmix. They're still a bit slow, but they're doing quite well.

zerozerofarms In the meantime, the little ones have spread their roots into the lower soil layer, and since then, the development has significantly improved. The Plagron fertilizer is top-notch, but I've had some issues with the Cuttings Soil. And there was proper fertilizer for the little ones for the first time. I'm very satisfied so far.

zerozerofarms The little ones are developing very well. They've just become a bit stretched, but that's not a problem. After they got used to the new pots, I was able to top them already. The plan is to top them a second time later. Other than that, not much to report so far. Nutrients are as always according to the Plagron schedule.

zerozerofarms Since the last topping, the little ones have recovered very well and formed a nice stable base. I've also tied everything down a bit with the plant trainers. Since my VPD isn't quite perfect right now, they're still a bit slower overall, but that's okay. By the next update, they'll probably be in their final pots.

zerozerofarms Finally, I was able to transplant the little ones since my soil has finally arrived. They were actually supposed to move into the new pots a few days earlier. But the whole thing has the advantage that I really have very short internode distances. In the small tent, every saved centimeter counts. They've also gotten a bit lighter, but that will even out again in the next few days.

zerozerofarms The last update from the veg phase. To keep the little ones from getting too tall, I switched to 12/12 for now. They're slowly turning a nice vibrant green again, and the stems have developed very sturdy. In the next few days, I need to remove the plant benders. 2 out of 4 are a bit taller than I wanted, but that should still even out.

zerozerofarms In the meantime, the flowering is noticeable, so we are officially at flower day 1 starting today. I've also added some plant bends to the tips to give the headbuds more space. I removed a few leaves so that the lower shoots can still get some light. Watering was done as always, following the Plagron schedule. Aside from a few slight discolorations, I'm really very satisfied with the plants.

zerozerofarms Since the last watering and turning on the lamp, all of them have stretched a bit more. As a bonus, I added 0.5 liters of coconut water to 5 liters of nutrient mix and a Tricho Myko Bacillus mix. I gave the longest shoot a little bend with a plant trainer. Otherwise, they all look really healthy. The stretch should be coming to an end soon, but there’s still a few cm of space left ;-)

zerozerofarms I actually wanted to have all of them defoliated for the update, but due to time constraints, I've only defoliated the two in the front so far. They've all grown a bit and have a really nice amount of flower sites. The leaves and everything look great and are nice and green. I'm very satisfied, but they really shouldn't grow anymore now ;-)

zerozerofarms It looks really good in the tent, lots of flowering sites, and now all 4 are finally defoliated. The spacing of the flowers seems just right to produce a denser stem of buds. The smell is also slowly getting stronger. One was a bit lanky and needed support. But I hope it will go without a net this time. If I remember, there will also be a compost tea as an extra flowering booster again.

zerozerofarms Not much has actually happened here either. The plants are just starting to form and enlarge their flowering sites. I might defoliate a bit at the bottom since there are just so many flowering sites. The smell is a mix of citrus and fuel. I hope the aroma changes. And as soon as there's space in the other tent, I'll move the Stickys into the bigger tent. Maybe I'll also start watering with Green Sensation next time, and if I remember, I'll add the compost tea too.

zerozerofarms I moved the plants to a bigger tent because it's just too cramped in the 60cm for the dense buds. Unfortunately, there are some airy buds at the bottom, but the flowering stage is still long and should be enough to fill everything out. The top ones are definitely going to be really fat, resinous buds. One pheno smells very gassy, while the other 3 are more fruity and lemony. From now on, I'm also using the Plagron magic juice called Green Sensation.

zerozerofarms The move to the other tent has done the plants a world of good. The buds are getting really thick and resinous and smell sweeter and fruitier every day. You can still slightly see the light stress on the tips since they were too close to the board before, but that's fading more and more as Green Sensation really pumps up the buds.

zerozerofarms At the moment, everything is calm, the plants are blooming away. Although the two on the right side won't take much longer. Especially the one in the front right looks really far along, and I'm also slowly reducing the feeding for that one. In the meantime, the buds are getting stickier. As always, nothing measured and nutrients according to the schedule ;-)

zerozerofarms One was already harvested 2 days ago, and the next one will be harvested today. Fall has arrived, and I need to be careful that nothing molds in the dense buds. The buds have filled out nicely, and the last two should also be ready to fall within the next week. There was some more fertilizer, but from now on, it will probably just be water without any nutrients.

zerozerofarms Now they're all hanging to dry. Just as I hung up the second one, the last two hit the turbo and were chopped off 2 days later. 2 buds already in the bag and 2 still need to be trimmed in about 2-3 days. So far, the yield looks good, and the next grow is in preparation.

zerozerofarms Pictures to follow! The drying went smoothly and now all the buds are in the Groove Bags. Towards the end, I did let the soil dry out a bit too much, but aside from that, the grow actually went very well. In the end, I had to switch tents due to space reasons. And I didn't measure pH or EC at all during the entire grow, which isn't necessary with Plagron Natural anyway.
