SmallGrowz Hey Growmies🏻💚
I also managed to successfully sign up for the Eternity Grow Cup.
It's going to be a micro grow in a completely new setup since I won a Bonsanto M case complete set in a giveaway.
I'm not really into the case, which is why I bought the 40x40x70 tent from Eazygreens.

The first week is over. They are really growing beautifully and very quickly. At the beginning, they were a bit leggy due to not enough light, but I fixed that quickly. Since the 70w lamp is not dimmable, I put in a scrog net and placed the Zamnesia booklet on top so they get about 170-200 ppfd😂
The lamp also gets quite hot, which makes it very warm in the box with low humidity.
But I have to say that despite the low humidity, they are growing great and show no signs of deficiency. Next week, I will top them if they keep pushing like this.

SmallGrowz Hey Growmies,
Week two is over and what can I say. The ladies are really taking off. They are already working on developing the 5th node. At the beginning of next week, I'll be topping them. I like to wait a bit longer so the plants don’t experience any growth stalling. They got nutrients and Calmag for the first time this week. No signs of deficiencies so far 😎
I'm glad my sticky ones are performing so well; unfortunately, I've already seen a few specimens at the Cup that didn't turn out well or look stunted. I guess I was lucky with the seeds.

the first flower week is over, they don't take in particularly much, I tie down two using LST.
They definitely have more thirst now.

SmallGrowz The first week of flowering is over. They have both adjusted well to 12/12 but both want to drink more and are eager for more nutrients😅 of course, they will get that.
I’m still tying down the branches, just to minimize the stretch because with a box height of 70cm, there really isn’t much room above😅
I have no concerns about the height, though.
At the end of the first week of flowering, you can already see where the journey is headed. Next stop, buds💚

SmallGrowz Peace growmies, it's been a while since an update on the Cup. What happened??
Both of the sticky broccolis I topped turned hermie on me. After that, I set up 3 new ones, 2 in 1.5L soil and one in a 0.5L cup. The new ones also turned hermie; at first, I thought, "what a shitty strain/genetics," since 5/5 is already an absurdly high hermie rate. But that kind of thing doesn't let me go, and I've been going through in my head what it could be. Lo and behold, I'm now 99% sure what it was. My new tent! Since I have my dark phase during the day (because of the heat from the LED). The small tent is right in the room and has small light leaks through the zipper and side windows.
Because of those little light holes, the plants must have felt disturbed when being moved and thus all turned hermie. It's annoying, but that's part of it. I'm glad to have found the source of the problem in my eyes. 😎 I'll see how they develop and then decide if it makes sense to keep them in the tent. 🏽💚

SmallGrowz 4. Flowering week is over. The buds are definitely developing steadily now💚 I did a bit of defoliation to make it airier in the tent. I started adding a little green sensation, you can see that they are now asking for more PK nutrients. Until next week🏻

SmallGrowz Peace Growmies, I hope you’re doing well and had a nice 4/20 yesterday💚
The 5th week of flowering is over and the buds are still swelling. Green Sensation has now been increased to 1ml per liter. The little plants have stretched quite a bit, which means the lamp distance is very low.

SmallGrowz 6. Flowering week is over. I had to take a close look at all the plants again to tie down some shoots since some buds were only 8cm away from the lamp. Now most of the buds have a distance of 11-15cm. They are already developing nice trichomes and continue to swell. However, the left plant is lagging behind the other two. They need to be ready by mid-May. Have a great week and see you at the next update🏻💚

SmallGrowz Hey Growmies👋🏽💚 the 7th week of flowering is successfully completed. I was shocked to realize that the buds need to be dried by the end of May to be judged in the contest. Unfortunately, the left lady is lagging behind a bit and definitely won't finish. The other two are really picking up the pace and are continuing to swell nicely.😊 I'll give everyone the 8th and 9th week of flowering and then it's harvest time✂️ What do you think I'll get? I'd say around 20g🤔

SmallGrowz Peace Growmies, the 8th week of flowering is over. I feel like they are maturing very slowly, especially the left lady in the tent is taking her sweet time. Since I can only give them one more week of flowering, the left plant and the one in the 0.5l pot will be taken for pressing. The right one is really looking good and could even finish up.

SmallGrowz Peace Growmies🏻 we're in the 9th week of flowering for the Sticky Broccoli. Since I want to finish the diary before the Grow Cup ends, I'm harvesting a bit earlier. On day 63 of flowering to be exact, so after exactly 9 weeks.
They could have definitely gone for another 2 weeks; I would say the flowering time is more like 10-12 weeks, unfortunately not 7-8 weeks. The head buds should be smokable, the rest will be pressed. In the last week, the nutrient supply was significantly reduced. Humidity was at 45-50%, so everything is fine😎 the next update will be the harvest💚
Hello dear Growmies, as the saying goes, better late than never. An exciting experiment has now come to an end, and I am really positively surprised by what is possible in such a small space. I ended up with 40 grams of trimmed buds! The stickys could have definitely used more time, but the Cup is unfortunately over in 3 days. At least the trichomes have already turned milky. She really lives up to her name, sticky Buds as f**k and therefore also great for pressing. I want to thank everyone who followed this grow with excitement and left amazing support. Love goes out to this wonderful community!
@Xonidan, unfortunately, outside is not an option. I've also thought about a small humidifier, but with the small box, all the steam would go to the LED and collect there. I think that wouldn't be good for the lamp in the long run if it's constantly damp. A wet cloth works a bit too.😅
