Eternity Grow Cup 2026 - Sticky Broccoli

stickylicious January 17, 2026: All plants look healthy. The root development is still not strong enough on average for repotting. Update January 20, 2026: The root development is now strong enough for repotting. #2 seems to have a genetic defect. No further leaves are developing. #3 continues to stand out in height growth. It was repotted into 0.5L plastic cups. The substrate was mixed with 50% perlite. #2 was removed due to the genetic defect.

stickylicious 24.01.2026: The plants are developing beautifully. The light cycle has been changed from 24/0 to 20/4 to give the plants a bit of rest while still pushing them strong at the beginning. The distance to the lamp is now only about 10cm due to repotting. The ladies still seem to be handling it well. However, if I notice signs of light stress, I will rearrange the setup again before they move into the tent. Additionally, a minimal amount of dolomite lime (long-term CalMag) has been applied to the substrate and watered in. The plants were also sprayed with a 0.5% solution of the plant strengthening agent Siapton (foliar feeding). Update 29.01.2026: The root development is very good. The airy substrate and drainage layers have served well. The plants are noticeably thirstier, and it's time for repotting again. This time, 3.5-liter plastic pots will be used. The substrate will again be mixed with 50% perlite. Additionally, some mycorrhiza powder and a handful each of dolomite lime and chicken manure pellets (NPK 4-4-4) have been added to the substrate and mixed in. The goal is to further strengthen the soil life.
