Sticky broccoli 🥦

Sadhus # Cannabis Grow Journal - Eternity Grow Cup 2 (Zamnesia x Plagron) 2026 **Grower:** @Sadhusfrgrow **Strain:** Sticky Broccoli (Zamnesia Seeds) - Feminized **Strain Description:** Sticky Broccoli is an indica-dominant strain (90%), with an impressive THC content of 23%. It is known for its intense aromas that blend sweet, spicy, and floral notes that linger on the palate. The plants are compact, easy to manage, and offer high yields with an exceptional visual appearance, characterized by resinous and sticky buds. This strain is ideal for growers looking for a combination of potency, flavor, and ease of cultivation. **General Setup:** - Substrate: 100% coco (coconut fiber) for optimal aeration and controlled moisture retention. - Pots: Seeded in 1-liter pots, final transplant into 5-liter pots to limit root stress and optimize space. - Irrigation: Automatic Netadrip system for precise and uniform distribution of water and nutrients, avoiding overwatering and minimizing the risk of root diseases. - Environmental Control: TrolMaster for automated climate management (temperature, humidity, VPD, PPFD) and irrigation, with real-time monitoring via the app. - Nutrition: Plagron Coco line (A&B, additives like Power Roots, Pure Zym, etc.). No fertilizers added in week 1 to encourage root establishment; nutrient introduction in week 2 according to the Plagron schedule adapted for coco (progressive target EC). - Lighting: Day/night cycle adjusted for the vegetative phase (18/6 likely in week 1). - Goal: Participate in the Eternity Grow Cup 2 contest aiming for an optimized, healthy, and productive grow. - Initial Notes: Out of 5 seeds planted, 3 successfully germinated (60% rate). By accident, 2 seeds germinated in the same 1-liter pot; decision made to keep them together and braid them to create a unique structure, promoting a dense canopy and better light penetration. This will add a playful and experimental element to the grow while testing the strain's resilience. ## Week 1: Germination and Establishment (January 18-24, 2026) ### Context and Goals for the Week This first week marks the beginning of the grow, focused on germination and seedling establishment. The seeds were placed in pre-moistened coco substrate with a low EC solution (0.8-1.0) without added fertilizers, to encourage robust root development without the risk of burn. The base EC comes from adjusted osmosis water with a slight cal-mag buffer if necessary, maintained between 0.8 and 1.0 to simulate a natural environment. The TrolMaster system was set up for precise monitoring, with parameters adjusted for sensitive seedlings (moderate light, high humidity, controlled VPD). The automatic Netadrip irrigation delivers small frequent amounts of water (2-3 cycles per day) to keep the substrate moist without saturation. Goals: Achieve stable germination, observe the first signs of growth, and prepare for the transition to the vegetative phase in week 2 with the introduction of Plagron nutrients. ### Germination and Plant Observations - **Day 1-3 (January 18-20):** Seeds of the 5 seeds were planted in 1-liter pots filled with pre-rinsed Plagron coco. Method: Wet paper for initiation, then transfer to substrate. Germination observed in 3 out of 5 seeds by day 3. The two non-germinated seeds were inspected; no signs of viability, potentially due to genetic variability or suboptimal storage. Interesting note: Two seeds accidentally germinated in the same pot (error during transfer). Instead of separating, the decision was made to keep them together to experiment with a braiding technique. This will involve intertwining the main stems once they reach 10-15 cm, promoting a compact structure and better light distribution. The seedlings show bright green cotyledons, with no signs of stress (no yellowing or wilting). Average height: 2-3 cm. - **Day 4-5 (January 21-22):** The 3 emerging seedlings are developing well. The two in the shared pot show synchronized growth, with visible roots on the surface indicating good rooting. No pests or diseases detected (daily inspection under magnifying glass). The Netadrip irrigation is adjusted to 50-100 ml per pot per cycle to avoid excessive leaching. Runoff EC measured at 0.9-1.0, confirming no salt accumulation. - **Day 6-7 (January 23-24):** Accelerated growth; first true leaves appear on all seedlings. The duo in the shared pot measures about 5 cm each, ready for light initial braiding next week. Overall, the plants are vigorous, with a healthy green color. No transplanting this week to minimize stress; transition to 5-liter pots planned for week 3 once the roots are established. ### Environmental Parameters (TrolMaster Data Analysis) Based on screenshots from the TrolMaster app for the "Coco Test" setup (parameters recorded for the week, adjusted for seedlings). Note: CO2 values at 0 ppm likely indicate a disconnected or uncalibrated sensor; in reality, ambient level estimated at 400-500 ppm without supplementation. The "Day" and "Night" columns correspond to light cycles (Day: lit period; Night: dark). These parameters are stable and optimized for the seedling phase in coco, promoting moderate transpiration and effective root absorption. - **Temperature (°C):** - Average Day: 23.0 °C (ideal for root growth without thermal stress). - Average Night: 21.9 °C (slight drop to simulate a natural cycle). - Max Day: 24.3 °C; Max Night: 22.8 °C. - Min Day: 21.1 °C; Min Night: 20.4 °C. Overall stability: Excellent, with variations of 3 °C, avoiding shocks that could slow germination. - **Humidity (%):** - Average Day/Night: 69.39% (optimal for seedlings in coco, reducing the risk of mold while maintaining hydration). - Max Day: 76%; Max Night: 75.3%. - Min Day: 64.5%; Min Night: 65%. Observations: Constant humidity, aided by the coco substrate which retains water well. No excessive condensation noted. - **Light Intensity (PPFD):** - Average Day: 342.3 PPFD (moderate level for seedlings, avoiding photostress; target 200-400 PPFD in early veg). - Average Night: 0 PPFD (complete dark cycle). - Max Day: 361 PPFD; Max Night: 0. - Min Day: 20 PPFD; Min Night: 0. Notes: Light adjusted via TrolMaster for uniform distribution; seedlings are responding well without excessive stretching. - **VPD (kPa):** - Average Day: 0.86 kPa; Average Night: 0.81 kPa (within the ideal range of 0.8-1.2 for veg in coco, promoting healthy transpiration). - Max Day: 1.06 kPa; Max Night: 0.97 kPa. - Min Day: 0.62 kPa; Min Night: 0.6 kPa. Analysis: Stable VPD, calculated via TrolMaster (based on temp and hum), indicating a balanced environment without risk of deficiencies or over-transpiration. - **CO2 (ppm):** - Average Day/Night: 0 ppm (sensor likely inactive; ambient assumed ~400 ppm). No supplementation in week 1. - **Nutrition and Irrigation:** - EC: 0.8-1.0 (without Plagron fertilizers; osmosis water + slight buffer). pH solution: 5.8-6.2 (optimal for coco). - Irrigation: Automatic Netadrip, 2-3 cycles/day, runoff 10-20% to rinse salts. Total volume per pot: ~200-300 ml/week. - No additives; Plagron schedule will start in week 2 with Cocos A&B at 1.5 ml/L + Power Roots to stimulate roots. ### Issues and Adjustments - No major issues: Partial germination (3/5), but the viable plants are healthy. The double seeding adds a creative challenge. - Adjustments: Increased monitoring of runoff pH (target 5.8-6.0) to prevent blockages in coco. Calibration of the CO2 sensor planned for week 2. ### Plans for Week 2 - Gradual introduction of Plagron nutrients (Cocos A&B at EC 1.2-1.4, plus additives like Power Roots and Pure Zym according to schedule: ~1.5 ml/10L A&B, 1 ml/10L Power Roots). - Continue braiding on the double pot. - Potential increase of PPFD to 400-500 if vigorous growth. - Photos of the plants to be added for visual documentation. This journal will be updated weekly. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Thanks for following along!

Nutrition adjusted to EC 2.0-2.5 to support initial stretch without over-fertilization, stable pH at 5.8. Lighting raised (lamp height ~90-100 cm anticipated) to accommodate rapid growth. Techniques: Heavy defoliation and lollipop on day 30 (removal of leaves/branches under the trellis to concentrate energy on tops; educational tips below). Clones taken (cuttings in propagator with Power Roots). Goals: Manage vigorous stretch (~20-30% height increase), observe pre-flowers, maintain health without pests. Runoff EC/pH slightly lower (increased absorption in flo). **Educational Tips on Defoliation and Lollipop:** - **Defoliation:** Selective removal of leaves to improve air circulation, light penetration, and reduce humidity (mold prevention). In early flo, target 20-30% of shading leaves; avoid over-stressing (recovery 2-3 days). Benefits: Better photosynthesis at bud sites, yield +10-20% if done well. - **Lollipop:** "Cleaning" the bottom of the plant (removal of lower branches/leaves under the trellis) to focus on upper colas. Ideal in week 1 flo; increases bud quality (less popcorn), improves airflow. Tip: Cut gradually, sterilize tools; observe response (if wilting, reduce intensity). ### Plant Observations - **Day 29-31 (February 15-17):** Switch 12/12; strong growth, stretch initiated (height +10-15 cm). Heavy defoliation/lollipop on day 30: Removal of ~40% lower foliage, focus on upper canopy. Strong plant measures 53 cm tall × 50 cm wide; the other ~48×45 cm. Clones taken (3-4 cuttings/plant). Generative steering: Less runoff, low VWC (moist ~36% average), dry back 20%; roots responding well (white, dense). - **Day 32-33 (February 18-19):** Vigorous stretch (+5-8 cm/day); visible pre-flowers (white pistils). Lights raised to 90 cm for PPFD uniformity. Robust plants, deep green; rooted clones ~30%. No issues (IPM maintained). - **Day 34-35 (February 20-21):** Max height 53 cm; width 50 cm. Strong growth requires daily monitoring; bud sites swelling. Effective steering: Increased nutrient absorption (runoff EC ~1.8-2.2). ### Environmental Parameters (TrolMaster Data Analysis) Based on captures for week 5 (days 31-35) and live dashboard (02/22/2026, night).

Sadhus ## Week 3: Third Week of Flowering (March 4-10, 2026) **Note: Update is 2 days late due to intensive monitoring of parameters via GrowOps and TrolMaster for precise optimization.** ### Context and Goals for the Week Third week of flowering with a focus on generative steering to boost bud formation. Reduced runoff, low VWC for controlled water stress, increased dry back promoting dense buds. Stable nutrition with the start of integrating Green Sensation (Plagron) to enhance flowering, Enzymes (Plagron) for root decomposition, plus CalMag (0.5-1 ml/L) and silica (0.5 ml/L) for stem/cell robustness. Foliar spray Boom Boom Spray (Biotabs) on day 36 to boost bio-stimulants (amino acids, natural hormones) and improve foliar absorption. No physical intervention on plants (rest post-lollipop). Integration of GrowOps AI: App analyzes TrolMaster data in real-time, suggests optimizations (e.g., lowering nighttime RH for ideal VPD, deficiency alerts via photos). Goals: Manage final stretch (+20 cm/week), observe bud formation, maintain generative steering. **Educational Text on Crop Steering:** Crop steering is an advanced cannabis cultivation technique that involves "guiding" the plant's growth by alternating between vegetative phases (leaf growth, roots) and generative phases (flowering, dense buds) through environmental and irrigation adjustments. In generative steering (like this week), we apply moderate water stress: pronounced dry back (20-25% VWC), short/rare irrigation to push the plant towards reproduction (more compact, resinous buds). Conversely, vegetative steering promotes growth through frequent/wet irrigations. This optimizes yield by manipulating VPD, EC, light (DLI 30 for flowering). Advantages: Better stretch control, increased resin/terpenes, without excessive stress. Based on sensory data (like TrolMaster), it's ideal for hydro/coco grows like here. Next week: Smooth transition to vegetative steering for balance. ### Plant Observations - **Days 36-38 (March 4-6):** Vigorous stretch; strong plant reaches 1.20m tall x 55 cm wide (the other ~80x50 cm). Bud sites swollen, abundant pistils. Boom Boom Spray application: Positive response (greener leaves, increased vigor). Addition of Green Sensation/Enzymes: No visible deficiencies (successful preventive). Healthy plants, no pests (effective IPM). GrowOps AI suggests lowering RH for optimal VPD; implemented. - **Days 39-40 (March 7-8):** Strong growth (+5-7 cm/day); dense canopy post-lollipop. Clones rooted ~50% (vigorous, ready for transplanting). No intervention; monitoring via GrowOps (AI alerts on low VWC for generative). - **Days 41-42 (March 9-10):** Max height 1.20m; formed buds, early resin. Excellent health, deep green; generative steering boosts density. Flowers starting to show clearly, no pests. Plants in great shape, no signs of stress, deficiency, or excess. ### Environmental Parameters (TrolMaster Data Analysis) Based on captures week 5/6 (days 31-35, but extended to week 3 via graphs 02/23-03/01). Graphs show stability: pH yellow ~5.8-6.0, EC purple ~2.0-2.4, temp red 19-28°C (night drop), humidity green 60-77% with pronounced dry backs (drops 20-25% post-shift). Full graph (temp/hum/CO2/VPD/light/pH/EC): Clear day/night cycles, stable VPD, cyclic light. GrowOps integrates this data for AI optimization (e.g., leaf temp 25-27°C, VPD 0.8-1.2, DLI 35).

GrowOps AI optimizes without intervention. - Adjustments: Successful Boom Boom Spray application; monitoring stretch. ### Plans for Week 4 - Light defoliation; removal of small unnecessary branches. - Maintain steering; possible PK boost. - Evaluate clones; photos of buds. - Smooth transition to vegetative steering (more frequent irrigations). This journal will be updated weekly. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Happy flowering!

Sadhus --- **Week 4: Fourth Week of Flowering (March 11-17, 2026)** ### Context and Goals for the Week We are fully entering the **bulk phase** (mass swelling of the buds). Smooth transition from generative steering to vegetative steering: slightly higher runoff, reduced dry back (15-20% VWC), slightly more frequent irrigations, and more stable VWC. **Why this change?** The generative steering from weeks 1-3 forced the final stretch and initiated bud density through controlled water stress. In the bulk phase, vegetative steering maximizes nutrient absorption, cell expansion, and flower volume without limiting weight gain. GrowOps AI confirms this transition (VWC + VPD alerts). **Little Educational Course: New Leaves and Small Buds Growing on Fan Leaves** What you're observing ("leaves growing on leaves" + small buds on fan leaves) is a phenomenon of very vigorous growth, sometimes called "leaf-on-leaf growth" or local expression of foxtailing on the foliage. Instead of focusing solely on the buds, the plant, boosted by vegetative steering + Sugar Royal + PK 13-14 + Green Sensation + enzymes, is producing new small leaves (and sometimes tiny floral structures) directly on the existing large fan leaves. This is **positive** here: a sign of abundant energy, good uptake, and excellent health. The Sticky Broccoli genetics (indica-dominant but vigorous) can express this in bulk when conditions are optimal. Unlike stressed foxtailing (too much heat/light), this remains moderate and accompanies good bud swelling. We generally let it evolve (it increases local photosynthesis), but we monitor to avoid excess that could dilute the energy of the main flowers. ### Plant Observations - **Day 43-45 (March 11-13):** The most beautiful plant goes from 1.20m to **1.40m** tall × 60 cm wide (the other ~95×50 cm). Appearance of new small leaves and structures on the fan leaves, in addition to the visible swelling of the buds. Abundant white pistils, early shiny resin. - **Day 46-47 (March 14-15):** Strong bulk growth (+4-6 cm/day). Dense canopy, 70% rooted clones (ready for transplanting). Added Sugar Royal + PK 13-14: explosive response (increased vigor). - **Day 48-49 (March 16-17):** Plants in great shape, zero pests, zero signs of stress, deficiency, or excess. Deep green, excellent health. Visible vegetative steering: fatter buds and densification in progress. ### Environmental Parameters (TrolMaster + GrowOps Analysis) Very stable graphs (March 14-15). Active CO₂ enrichment (900 ppm day / 500 night). - **Temperature (°C):** Average Day 23.4 °C | Night 20.4 °C | Max Day 25.5 °C | Min Day 19.6 °C - **Humidity (%):** Average Day 64.27% | Night 60.37% | Max Day 70% | Min Day 60.6% - **PPFD:** Average Day 756.9 (max 837) - **DLI:** ≈ 32.7 mol/m²/day (optimal bulk) - **VPD:** Average Day 1.03 kPa (stable and ideal) - **EC tank:** 2.5-3.5 mS/cm | pH 5.9-6.0 | Runoff EC ~2.0-2.5 / pH ~5.7 - **Soup:** Basic NPK + CalMag + Silica + Plagron Enzymes + Green Sensation + **Sugar Royal** + **PK 13-14**. Water at 20 °C. - Irrigation: Transitioning to vegetative, dry back 15-20%, more stable VWC. ### Issues and Adjustments No issues. Healthy plants, GrowOps AI optimizes without intervention. Adjustments: Integration of Sugar Royal + PK 13-14 + monitoring of new growth on fan leaves. ### Plans for Week 5 - Light defoliation (removal of unnecessary lower branches). - Maintain vegetative steering + PK adjustment if needed. - Evaluate clones + new bud photos. - Monitor developments on the fan leaves (stay moderate). This journal will be updated weekly. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 --- I'm sorry for the quality of the photos, unfortunately, I can't move the plants to isolate them and take nice pictures, they are under 2 trellises so it's impossible to move.

Sadhus **Week 5: Fifth Week of Flowering – Bulking Phase (March 18-24, 2026)** **Note:** Update is a few days late, but the TrolMaster + GrowOps data shows excellent stability and a successful transition into pure bulking. ### Context and Objectives for the Week Week 5 = full entry into **bulking**. The stretch is over, energy is now massively redirected towards swelling the buds, producing trichomes, and accumulating mass/resin. Steering: **confirmed vegetative** (frequent irrigations, runoff 20-30%, controlled dryback but less aggressive than during the stretch, VWC more stable). Main objective: maximize the volume and density of the buds while maintaining perfect health until the peak of resin (weeks 6-8). **Quick educational point + tips on the end of the stretch and transition to bulking** - **End of the stretch:** for most hybrid/indica-dominant varieties like Sticky Broccoli, the stretch stops or slows down significantly between the end of week 3 and mid-week 5. Here, only +10 cm this week (vs +20 cm/week before) → this is **perfectly normal and desirable**. The plant has finished stretching its internodes and is switching to "filling" mode. - **Why the buds are swelling now + trichomes are appearing:** The combination of vegetative steering + EC 2.6-2.95 + PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + enzymes + CO₂ 900 ppm + DLI 32 + UV 45 min/day creates a hyper-favorable environment for cell division and the biosynthesis of cannabinoids/terpenes. Trichomes (resin glands) start to multiply and swell from week 5 in resinous genetics. This is the moment when you really see the plant "thickening." - **Concrete tips to maximize bulking:** - Don’t raise the EC too quickly (3.2-3.4 risks slight lockout in coco) - Keep VPD day 0.9-1.2 kPa and night 0.8-1.1 → optimal transpiration without stress - Gradually increase UV (45 → 90 min/day in week 6) to boost terpenes and THC - Monitor runoff pH (ideal 5.8-6.2) → if it drops below 5.7, a slight pH solution increase of 0.1-0.2 - Photos every 2-3 days to early detect any lower yellowing or leaf tip browning ### Plant Observations - **Dominant plant:** has clearly taken over. Current height **~1.5m** (only +10 cm this week). Stretch is over, very large and airy structure, dense canopy but well-penetrated by light. - **Buds:** starting to really swell, calyxes are thickening, first trichomes visible to the naked eye on the upper buds (slight sugary shine). Pistils still mostly white but starting to curl slightly. - **Overall vigor:** excellent, deep green, no visible deficiencies, no burn, no pests. The secondary plant is smaller but keeping up well. Clones still very healthy. - Zero signs of stress, plants are in great shape and focused on floral filling. ### Environmental Parameters (TrolMaster + GrowOps – summary March 18-22) - **Day temperature:** 23-25 °C (current target 23-25, leaf temp ~24-27) - **Night temperature:** 18-20 °C (target 18-20) - **Day humidity:** 64-74% → gradual decrease towards 60-70 by the end of the week - **Night humidity:** 49-59% - **VPD:** 0.8-1.2 kPa day/night (stable and optimal for bulking) - **Average PPFD:** ~733-750 (max ~814) → DLI ~32 mol/m²/day (perfect) - **UV:** 45 min/day (planned +45 min in week 6) - **CO₂:** setpoint 900 ppm day (not measured precisely but active) - **EC solution:** 2.6-2.95 mS/cm (recent slight drop to 2.6) - **pH solution:** 5.8-6.0 (runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Irrigation:** Frequent, 20-30% daily runoff - **Steering:** Vegetative (confirmed) - **Night dryback:** 8-12% (very controlled) ### Issues and Adjustments No major issues. - Slight EC feed drop (from ~3.0-3.4 → 2.6): intentional to avoid accumulation in coco during the peak of bulking. - Day temperature a bit high at times (25-27 leaf) → monitor to avoid residual stretch or excessive transpiration. - UV at 45 min → good increase planned for week 6. ### Plans for Week 6 - Continue vegetative steering + possible slight EC/PK bump if buds seem to slow down. - Increase UV to 90 min/day. - Slight selective defoliation (leaves that really block light on lower buds). - Close-up photos to track trichomes and swelling. - Prepare mother clones if final selection. This journal will be updated weekly. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 The buds are really gaining volume now, the dominant plant is impressive at 1.5m and the first visible trichomes → it smells like a big yield is coming! 🌱✨

Objectifs : maximiser le volume et la densité des buds, booster la résine avec UV 90 min/jour, maintenir une stabilité parfaite des paramètres jusqu’au pic de trichomes (semaines 7-8). **Petit point éducatif : Pourquoi le bulking est la phase la plus importante en flo ?** Après le stretch (semaines 1-4), la plante passe en mode « remplissage ». C’est là que l’on gagne le plus en poids final. Le steering végétatif (irrigations fréquentes + VWC plus haut) permet une meilleure absorption des nutriments et une expansion cellulaire maximale dans les buds. À ce stade, l’ajout de **PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + Pure Zym + Silica Force + Cal-Mag Amino** est idéal : - PK 13/14 → phosphore/potassium pour la formation des fleurs et la résine - Sugar Royal → sucres et carbohydrates qui augmentent le poids et les terpènes - Green Sensation + Pure Zym → bio-stimulants + enzymes qui améliorent l’uptake racinaire et la santé microbienne en coco - Silica Force + Cal-Mag Amino → renforcement cellulaire et prévention des carences classiques en flo (Ca/Mg) Le tout à EC 2.6 et pH 5.8-6.0 donne un équilibre parfait sans risque de lockout ou de burn. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante (la plus belle) mesure maintenant **150 cm** de hauteur. Elle a clairement pris le dessus avec une structure énorme, une canopée dense mais bien aérée et une vigueur exceptionnelle. Le stretch est complètement terminé (+10 cm seulement la semaine dernière, stabilisation totale). Les buds grossissent rapidement, les calices s’épaississent, les trichomes deviennent de plus en plus visibles et brillants sur les sites supérieurs. Pistils encore majoritairement blancs mais commencent à s’enrouler. Santé générale : excellente, vert profond, aucune feuille jaune ou brûlée, zéro pest, zéro stress, zéro carence ou excès. La plante secondaire suit bien. Clones toujours très vigoureux. Les plantes sont concentrées à 100 % sur le gonflement des fleurs. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 6) - **Température jour** : 20-23 °C (moyenne live 23.3 °C, cible 24 °C) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C - **Humidité jour** : 60-70 % (live 58.9 %, cible 62 %) - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa (live 0.94 kPa → parfait pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : 750-777 (max 814) → DLI 32 mol/m²/jour (optimal) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (augmenté cette semaine) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle (lights-off) - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (enrichment actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6 mS/cm (live 1.85-2.95 selon relevés) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (live 6.43, runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Runoff EC** : 4-5 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : Fréquente (4-5 cycles/jour) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % - **Steering** : Végétatif confirmé ### Nutrition et Irrigation (Soupe actuelle) **Nutriments utilisés cette semaine (doses par litre) :** - Cocos A → 1 ml - Cocos B → 1 ml - CANNA PK 13/14 → 1 ml - Green Sensation → 0.1 ml - Pure Zym → 1 ml - Sugar Royal → 1 ml - Cal-Mag Amino → 1 ml - Silica Force → 1 ml - pH- → 0.5 ml (pour ajuster à 5.8-6.0) Eau à ~20 °C, temp solution ~15-18 °C (normale en coco). Irrigation fréquente avec dryback contrôlé → parfait pour maintenir un VWC stable tout en évitant les excès d’eau en phase bulking. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS** – Aucune problème, aucune alerte GrowOps, aucune intervention physique nécessaire cette semaine. Les paramètres sont très stables, le steering végétatif fonctionne parfaitement et les plantes répondent idéalement aux boosters de résine. ### Plans pour la Semaine 7 - Maintenir steering végétatif + EC 2.6 (possible léger pic PK si besoin) - UV rester à 90 min/jour - Légère défoliation sélective (seulement les grandes fan leaves qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur les buds inférieurs) - Photos rapprochées pour suivre l’évolution des trichomes et du gonflement - Évaluer les clones pour sélection finale Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds gonflent vraiment bien, les trichomes commencent à briller et la plante dominante à 150 cm est superbe. On sent que le rendement va être excellent ! 🌱✨

Sadhus **Semaine 7 : Septième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Bulking Avancé (1-7 avril 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire. Tout reste RAS, les plantes continuent leur bulking de manière très propre et homogène. Données consolidées TrolMaster + GrowOps (semaine 7 / semaine 11 globale). ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine On est maintenant en **bulking avancé**. Les buds ont pris beaucoup de volume, les calices sont bien gonflés et la production de trichomes s’intensifie. Le stretch est terminé depuis longtemps, toute l’énergie est concentrée sur le remplissage floral, la densité et la résine. Steering : **végétatif maintenu** (irrigations fréquentes, runoff 20-30 %, dryback nuit 8-12 %, VWC stable). Objectifs : continuer le gonflement maximal des buds, booster la résine et les terpènes avec UV 90 min/jour, garder une stabilité parfaite des paramètres et éviter tout stress qui pourrait freiner la prise de poids finale. **Petit point éducatif : Bulking avancé et rôle des boosters** En semaine 7, la plante entre dans la phase où les buds « prennent du poids » rapidement. Le steering végétatif reste essentiel car il permet une absorption continue et élevée des nutriments sans stress hydrique excessif. La combinaison actuelle (Cocos A+B + PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + Pure Zym + Silica Force + Cal-Mag Amino) est particulièrement adaptée : - PK 13/14 et Sugar Royal alimentent directement la formation des fleurs et augmentent le poids sec. - Green Sensation + Pure Zym stimulent le métabolisme et la santé racinaire en coco. - Silica Force renforce les parois cellulaires (meilleure résistance et densité). - Cal-Mag Amino prévient les carences classiques en flo (jaunissement bas ou pointe brûlée). Maintenir EC autour de 2.6 et pH 5.8-6.0 évite les lockouts tout en permettant un uptake optimal. C’est le moment où on voit vraiment le retour sur investissement des boosters. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante mesure toujours **150 cm** et domine clairement avec une structure massive, une canopée dense et une vigueur impressionnante. Le stretch est complètement stabilisé. Les buds continuent de grossir de manière visible, les calices sont bien remplis et les trichomes se multiplient (brillance sucrée de plus en plus prononcée sur les sites supérieurs et moyens). Pistils commencent à changer de couleur et à s’enrouler. Santé générale : excellente, feuillage vert profond, aucune feuille jaune ou nécrosée, zéro pest, zéro signe de stress ou carence. La plante secondaire suit correctement. Clones restent vigoureux. Les plantes sont pleinement concentrées sur le gonflement et la résine. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 7) - **Température jour** : 23-25 °C (moyenne live ~23.3 °C, cible 24 °C) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C - **Humidité jour** : 64-74 % (live ~58.9 %, cible 62 %) - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa (live 0.94 kPa → idéal pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : 750-777 (max ~814) → DLI 32 mol/m²/jour (optimal) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (maintenu) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (enrichment actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6 mS/cm (live 1.85-2.95 selon moments) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (live 6.43, runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Runoff EC** : 4-5 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : Fréquente (4-5 cycles/jour) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % - **Steering** : Végétatif confirmé ### Nutrition et Irrigation (Soupe actuelle) **Nutriments utilisés cette semaine (doses par litre) :** - Cocos A → 1 ml - Cocos B → 1 ml - CANNA PK 13/14 → 1 ml - Green Sensation → 0.1 ml - Pure Zym → 1 ml - Sugar Royal → 1 ml - Cal-Mag Amino → 1 ml - Silica Force → 1 ml - pH- → 0.5 ml (ajustement à 5.8-6.0) Eau à ~20 °C, temp solution ~15-18 °C. Irrigation fréquente avec dryback contrôlé → excellent équilibre pour maintenir le bulking sans excès ni carence. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS total.** Aucune alerte GrowOps, aucune intervention nécessaire. Les paramètres restent très stables, le steering végétatif fonctionne à merveille et les plantes répondent parfaitement aux boosters. Aucun signe de fatigue ou de ralentissement. ### Plans pour la Semaine 8 - Maintenir steering végétatif + EC 2.6 (possible léger ajustement PK selon gonflement) - UV rester à 90 min/jour - Défoliation légère et ciblée (seulement les fan leaves qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur les buds inférieurs) - Photos rapprochées pour suivre l’évolution des trichomes et de la densité - Commencer à réfléchir à la date de flush (généralement semaines 8-9 selon maturité des trichomes) Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds gonflent bien, les trichomes se développent et la plante dominante à 150 cm reste superbe. On approche du pic de résine, tout se passe idéalement ! 🌱✨

Sadhus **Semaine 8 : Huitième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Ripening (8-14 avril 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire. On entre officiellement dans la phase **ripening** (mûrissement). Les données TrolMaster et GrowOps confirment une transition très propre et contrôlée. Tout se passe bien, sans aucun souci. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine Semaine 8 sur 12 totales : on passe du bulking pur au **ripening**. L’objectif n’est plus de faire grossir les buds, mais de les densifier, de maximiser la production de trichomes et de laisser la plante terminer sa maturation. Steering : passage progressif vers **génératif** (irrigations moins fréquentes, dryback plus marqué la nuit, baisse progressive de tous les paramètres). Changements appliqués cette semaine : - PPFD diminué progressivement (750 → 550) - Température et humidité baissées - EC réduit (2.6 → 1.5) - UV maintenu à 90 min/jour pour continuer à booster terpènes et résine **Petit tips éducatif : Pourquoi baisser progressivement en ripening ?** En phase ripening (dernières 4-5 semaines), la plante arrête de pousser en taille et concentre son énergie sur la maturation des fleurs. - Baisser le PPFD/DLI évite le stress lumineux et permet aux trichomes de grossir sans brûler. - Baisser la température (surtout la nuit) et l’humidité favorise la synthèse des terpènes et réduit le risque de moisissure. - Réduire l’EC évite l’accumulation de sels en fin de cycle et améliore le goût final. - Passer en steering génératif (dryback plus long) force la plante à « finir » ses buds et à concentrer résine et cannabinoïdes. Fait correctement, cela donne des buds plus compacts, plus frosty et avec un profil terpénique plus prononcé. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante reste à **150 cm** avec une structure massive et une canopée bien remplie. Les buds sont **follement frosty** : couverts d’une épaisse couche de trichomes (sugar leaves très blanches), ce qui donne un aspect brillant et collant incroyable. La densité des buds est bonne et devient bien compacte, même si la taille reste raisonnable (j’ai déjà vu des buds plus gros sur d’autres variétés, mais ici la qualité prime). Odeur : très forte et agréable, mélange sucré/épicé/floral typique de Sticky Broccoli. Pistils majoritairement colorés et enroulés. Santé générale : parfaite, vert profond sur les feuilles restantes, zéro pest, zéro carence, zéro stress visible. Les plantes sont en pleine forme et concentrées sur la maturation. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 8) - **Température jour** : 19-21 °C (cible 20 °C, live 20.3 °C) - **Température nuit** : 14-15 °C (baisse nette pour ripening) - **Humidité jour** : 48-58 % (cible 55 %, live 51.5 %) - **Humidité nuit** : 29-39 % - **VPD** : 0.9-1.3 kPa (live 1.16 kPa → bien adapté au ripening) - **PPFD** : 550 (baisse progressive, DLI ~24) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (maintenu) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour - **EC solution** : 1.5 mS/cm (live ~1.62) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (live 6.27) - **Runoff EC** : 2.5-3 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : moins fréquente (transition générative) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 20-30 % (augmenté pour ripening) - **Steering** : génératif (confirmé cette semaine) ### Nutrition et Irrigation (Soupe actuelle) La recette reste la même que les semaines précédentes, mais avec EC réduit à 1.5 : - Cocos A + B - CANNA PK 13/14 (dose légère) - Green Sensation suprimer - Pure Zym suprimer - Sugar Royal suprimer - Cal-Mag Amino 1 ml - Silica Force 1 ml - pH- pour ajuster Eau à ~20 °C. L’irrigation est maintenant moins fréquente pour accentuer le dryback nocturne et favoriser la concentration des buds. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS total.** Aucune alerte, aucune carence, aucun excès. La baisse progressive de tous les paramètres se fait en douceur et les plantes répondent très bien. Le passage en ripening est maîtrisé. ### Plans pour la Semaine 9 - Continuer à baisser tranquillement : PPFD, température (surtout nuit), humidité et EC - Maintenir UV à 90 min/jour - Défoliation très légère si nécessaire (seulement les feuilles qui bloquent la lumière sur les buds inférieurs) - Photos rapprochées pour suivre la couleur des trichomes (passage vers ambré) - Préparer le flush (généralement à partir de la semaine 9-10 selon maturité) Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds sont magnifiquement frosty, denses et résineux, avec une odeur qui devient vraiment puissante. La qualité est au rendez-vous, même si la taille reste raisonnable. On continue la descente en douceur vers la récolte ! 🌱✨

Sadhus **Semaine 9 : Neuvième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Ripening Avancé (15-21 avril 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire. On est maintenant en ripening avancé (semaine 9 sur 12). Les données GrowOps et TrolMaster montrent une descente progressive et maîtrisée. Pas de gros changement visible cette semaine, mais tout évolue dans le bon sens. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine On poursuit tranquillement la phase **ripening**. L’objectif n’est plus la croissance, mais la maturation finale : densification des buds, développement des trichomes et concentration des terpènes/cannabinoïdes. Steering : **génératif maintenu** (irrigations moins fréquentes, dryback nuit accentué 20-30 %, baisse progressive de tous les paramètres). Changements appliqués : - EC réduit à **1.3** (passage final sur Terra Aquatica seul, sans boosters lourds) - Température, humidité et PPFD maintenus bas pour favoriser la maturation - UV toujours à 90 min/jour pour continuer à booster la résine **Petit tips éducatif : Lecture des trichomes en ripening** À ce stade, on observe trois types de trichomes : - **Translucides** : encore immatures (ils vont blanchir) - **Laiteux / laiteux-opaques** : pic de THC et terpènes (c’est le moment idéal pour beaucoup de cultivateurs) - **Ambrés** : THC qui commence à se dégrader en CBN (effet plus sédatif, mais perte de fraîcheur) Ici, les trichomes sont **principalement laiteux avec encore quelques translucides** → c’est excellent. Cela indique que les buds sont en pleine maturation sans être trop avancés. La semaine prochaine, on surveillera l’évolution vers plus d’ambre pour décider du timing de flush/récolte. Astuce : regarde toujours les buds du haut et du milieu avec une loupe 30-60x, jamais seulement les sugar leaves. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante reste stable à **150 cm** avec une structure imposante. Les buds ont **très légèrement gonflé** cette semaine et gagnent en **compacité**. Ils deviennent bien denses, sans excès de foxtailing. **Frosty** : les trichomes sont abondants, les buds et sugar leaves sont très blancs et collants. L’aspect résineux est impressionnant au toucher (très collant). Odeur : **très agréable**, sucrée, épicée et florale, de plus en plus forte quand on touche les buds. Santé générale : parfaite, pas de nouvelles feuilles jaunes, pas de stress, pas de pest. Les plantes sont propres et concentrées sur la finition. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 9) - **Température jour** : 19-21 °C - **Température nuit** : 14-15 °C (basse pour ripening) - **Humidité jour** : 48-58 % - **Humidité nuit** : 29-39 % - **VPD** : 0.9-1.3 kPa (stable et adapté) - **PPFD** : 550 (DLI ~24) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (maintenu) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour - **EC solution** : **1.3-1.5** mS/cm (passage sur Terra Aquatica seul) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 - **Runoff EC** : 2.5-3 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : moins fréquente (génératif) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 20-30 % - **Steering** : génératif confirmé ### Nutrition et Irrigation Cette semaine, on est passé à un régime plus simple : **Terra Aquatica seul** à EC 1.3. Plus de boosters lourds (PK, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, etc.), juste la base pour ne pas surcharger en fin de cycle. Irrigation réduite pour accentuer le dryback nocturne et favoriser la concentration des buds. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS.** Aucun problème, aucune alerte. La descente progressive se fait en douceur et les plantes réagissent bien. L’odeur et la résine compensent largement le gonflement plus modéré. ### Plans pour la Semaine 10 - Continuer à baisser tranquillement EC (vers 1.0), température nuit et humidité - Maintenir UV à 90 min/jour - Surveillance accrue des trichomes (loupe obligatoire) - Préparer le flush (probablement à partir de la fin de semaine 10 ou début 11 selon évolution des têtes) - Photos macro pour suivre le passage laiteux → ambré Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds sont de plus en plus frosty, collants et résineux, avec une odeur vraiment plaisante. Même si le gonflement reste modéré, la qualité trichomale est excellente. On continue la descente en douceur vers la ligne d’arrivée ! 🌱✨

Sadhus **Semaine 10 : Dixième et Dernière Semaine de Floraison – Late Flower / Récolte (22-28 avril 2026)** **Note :** Fin du cycle pour cette culture. Récolte anticipée suite à un départ de botrytis sur une autre plante du même espace. Les données GrowOps confirment une fin de cycle propre malgré l’interruption. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine Semaine 10 sur 12 : on était en **late ripening**. L’objectif était de finaliser la maturation des buds, densifier les trichomes et préparer le flush. Steering : **génératif maintenu** jusqu’à la fin, avec baisse progressive des paramètres (température nuit 14-15 °C, humidité 29-39 %, PPFD 550, EC 1.0). Les 3 derniers jours : **flush clean** à EC 0.7 (eau pure + Terra Aquatica minimal) pour éliminer les sels et améliorer le goût final. **Petit tips éducatif : Botrytis (pourriture grise) et gestion en fin de cycle** Le botrytis est un champignon qui adore les environnements humides, mal ventilés et les buds denses en ripening. Il apparaît souvent sous forme de taches grises/brown avec du duvet. **Prévention** : - Baisser l’humidité nuit (

Sadhus **Week Harvest: Final Harvest – Sticky Broccoli (April 28, 2026)** **Note:** End of the Eternity Grow Cup 2 cycle. Harvest completed in week 10 of flowering (slightly early). The entire grow diary is now complete. ### Context and Cycle Summary After 10 weeks of flowering (week 14 overall), the harvest was triggered due to a botrytis outbreak on another plant in the same space. I could have waited a few more days to let the amber trichomes mature a bit more, but safety comes first. The dominant plant (150 cm) produced a beautiful qualitative yield, with dense, extremely frosty, and resinous buds. **Fresh weight: about 780 grams** (total wet weight of trimmed buds, excluding the large stems). Update expected in 2 weeks for the **final dry weight** after a good curing. ### Harvest Observations - **Buds:** Dense and compact, very sticky. Exceptional trichome coverage (mostly milky with some amber heads). The sugar aspect is stunning, the buds literally shine. - **Smell:** Very pleasant, sweet, spicy, and floral, typical of Sticky Broccoli. Powerful even after the flush. - **Resin:** Extremely resinous to the touch – perfect for dry sift or a little Ice-o-Lator. - **Structure:** Nice overall density, even though the individual bud size remains on the higher end for the variety (not the biggest I’ve seen, but the trichome quality more than compensates). - **Health:** Clean plants until the end, no visible deficiencies. The flush in the last 3 days (EC 0.7) helped a lot to clean the salts. **Clones:** A few clones taken several weeks earlier were successfully repotted into their new system. They are well-rooted and ready to start a new vegetative/flowering cycle. The genetics are preserved! ### End of Cycle Parameters (week 10) - Day/Night Temperature: 19-21 °C / 14-15 °C - Humidity: 48-58% day / 29-39% night - VPD: 0.9-1.3 kPa - PPFD: 550 (DLI 24) - UV: 90 min/day - Final EC: 1.0 then flush to 0.7 (Terra Aquatica only) - pH: 5.8-6.0 - Steering: generative until the end - 48h blackout before harvest: applied to boost resin and improve trichome quality. ### Post-Harvest Plans - **Drying:** 7-10 days at 18-20 °C and 55-60% humidity in a dark, ventilated space. - **Curing:** Minimum 2-3 weeks in jars (regular burping) to refine the terpenes and smoothness. Update in 2 weeks with the final dry weight. - **Usage:** Part for dried/cured flowers, and a small batch for **dry sift** + **Ice-o-Lator** (bubble hash) to enjoy the exceptional resin of this Sticky Broccoli. **Final Educational Tip: The flush and blackout at the end of the cycle** - **Flush** (last 3 days at very low EC): Helps eliminate accumulated salts and significantly improves the final taste (less chemistry, more pure terpenes). - **48h blackout:** Simple but effective technique that slightly stresses the plant positively, increasing resin production and trichome clarity just before cutting. It was a very nice cycle, clean and educational despite the interruption due to botrytis. The resin quality and smell more than compensate. Thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron for the gear! **#GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 #StickyBroccoli** In 2 weeks I will update with the dry weight and first impressions after curing. **Estimated Final Dry Weight** With **780 grams of fresh weight** (wet buds, after initial trim but before complete drying), here’s a realistic estimate for this Sticky Broccoli: ### Reasonable Estimate - **Expected dry weight:** **180 to 230 grams** (about **23-30%** of fresh weight). **Why this range?** - Fresh buds typically contain 70-80% water. - After good drying (down to 10-12% residual humidity) + curing, usually **20-30%** of the initial wet weight remains. - 20% → **156 g** (low estimate, if buds are very dense or drying is pushed) - 25% → **195 g** (average estimate, most common for compact buds like yours) - 30% → **234 g** (high estimate, if the buds retain a bit more moisture or are particularly resinous) Your buds being described as **dense, very sticky, and frosty**, I would lean more towards the **middle/high of the range**: **190-220 grams** once well dried and cured. ### Factors That Will Influence the Final Result - **Drying Quality:** Temperature 18-20 °C, humidity 50-60%, good air circulation without direct wind → gradual and uniform water loss. - **Trim:** If you did a tight wet trim, the dry weight will be a bit lower than if you left more sugar leaves. - **Bud Density:** The more compact and resinous they are, the less relative weight they lose (but they sometimes dry a bit slower). - **Curing:** During the 2-4 weeks in jars, you will lose a bit more moisture, but the weight will stabilize. ### Next Steps 1. **Drying:** 7-10 days until the stems snap clean (not bendable). 2. **Curing:** Minimum 2 weeks (ideally 4+) with daily burping at the beginning. 3. **Final Weighing:** Once the weight stabilizes (after 2 weeks of curing),
