Green_claws Welcome to the start of the Eternity Grow Cup.
So excited to have the opportunity to do this amazing contest..
So I'm growing sticky broccoli fem photoperiod from my Home Brew Living Soil
A bit of info on the strain
Sticky Broccoli exhibits characteristic indica traits.
Flavoursome buds: Youโll enjoy a smashing mix of floral, spicy, and sweet notes.
Superb yield potential: Plants are able to pump out generous yields when grown with care.
A treat for extract lovers: Buds are generously coated in resin, ideal for those who make extracts.
Our breeders love raising the bar when it comes to developing new strains, and their Sticky Broccoli is a perfect manifestation of this ethos. Marrying the productive Sticky Beast with the pungent Green Crack, we created a variety that's 90% indica dominant, loaded with flavour, and packing 23% THC. She also performs very well in the grow room. Growers love its rewarding yields and sensational bag appealโbuds are fragrant, vibrant, and shiny with resin. Tokers appreciate the seductive aromas, as well as intense effects that are felt almost instantly after taking a hit.
Growing Sticky Broccoli: Prepare Your Stash Jars
Demonstrating plenty of vigour from the get-go, Sticky Broccoli is very versatile and will thrive in an indoor or outdoor setup. Generous yields await, particularly if you have a few grows under your belt and know how to help plants reach their full potential. Sticky Broccoli grows to very manageable heights indoors, peaking at 120 cm. Outdoors, you can expect to see specimens achieve a more imposing stature of up to 220 cm. Give your plants love and care, and after 7โ8 weeks of flowering indoors, you'll be looking at a harvest of up to 500 g/mยฒ. Under the sun, each Sticky Broccoli plant will yield up to a respectable 600 g in late September or early October.
Flavours and Effects That Make You Come Back for More
Dry and cure your precious flowers, and you're in for a mind-blowing experience. Sticky Broccoli is intensely fragrant and its flavours linger lazily on the tongue. Sweet, spicy, and floral notes come together harmoniously in this variety, making for an interesting and pleasant blend. For the most authentic flavour experience, vape the buds at a low temperature. When it comes to effects, Sticky Broccoli is quick to put its 23% THC content and suite of terpenes to work. A few hits give rise to a blissful, relaxing stone that lasts for hours. Though she's heavily indica dominant, Sticky Broccoli won't immediately put you to sleep after one toke.
Thanks for stopping by
Also thanks to the sponsors, Zamnesia/Plagron and of course Growdiaries for this fantastic platform to run it on...
Peace and love โ๏ธ๐.

Green_claws โ๐ฑ Week 1: Veg
โThe girls are cruising! Iโm keeping things simple and intentional right now to make sure the foundation is rock solid.
โ๐ง Current Protocol:
โ๐ฅค Hydration: Just a light watering today.
โ๐ซ Iโm being careful not to overdo itโnobody wants suffocated roots!
โ Nutrition: Added a touch of Seaweed Extract (10ml/L) to help with stress resistance and root development.
โ๐ฌ๏ธ The Strategy: Aiming for a slight dry back before the next drink to keep the oxygen levels high in the root zone.
โ๐ Status Report:
โโ Everything is looking green, clean, and problem-free.
โจ So far, so good!
โThanks for dropping by
Much love โ๏ธ๐

Green_claws โ๐ Week 2: Veg
โSheโs officially locked and loaded! After a brief moment of "twist and shout" while adjusting to the hot soil, sheโs settled in like a champ.
โ The Pedigree:
โโญ You can really see the pedigree of these genetics starting to shine through.
โ๐ฅฆ The stem is already fattening up, showing off a "hairy" texture that signals some serious vigor, and the color is incredibly vibrant.
โ๐ To keep the momentum going without overwhelming her, Iโm sticking to a high-performance, minimalist diet:
โ The Menu:
โ๐ Seaweed-Infused Water: Providing those essential trace minerals and natural growth hormones (cytokinins) for root strength.
โ๐ก๏ธ Silica: My secret weapon for building "armor-plated" cell walls and heat resistance.
โThanks for stopping by
Much love โ๏ธ๐

Green_claws The Upgrade is Official: From the Floor to the Throne ๐
โFinally got the girls into the tent and under the new light! ๐ ๐ก We are officially dialed in and settling into the new setup.
โAfter roughing it on the bedroom floor for a while, Iโll be honestโtheyโre looking a little beat up and battle-worn right now.

Green_claws โ๐ฟ Stage: Post-Topping / Veg wk 4
โCurrent Strategy: Moisture Correction & Pest Management
โ๐ Entry: Managing the Microclimate
โ๐ช The girls are looking strong after being topped down to 5 primary nodes, and while the new growth looks eager, the overall pace is a bit sluggish, even though she's throwing out 9 leaf'ers on week 4, so things aren't too bad.
โ๏ธ Iโve identified a two-fold issue: lingering root saturation and the arrival of Fungus Gnats.
โ๐ถ The Peat Paradox: I suspect the Sphagnum peat moss in my mix is holding a bit too much moisture in the core of the pot. While it provides a great structure, it's currently keeping the root zone "wet" longer than ideal, which is likely slowing down oxygen uptake and stalling the leaves from reaching their full "praying" potential.
โโ๏ธ The Battle Plan
โ๐ The adjustment: I'll be mixing more perlite before potting up, getting more oxygen to those roots.
โ๐ต The Dry Back: I am intentionally extending the dry cycle to force the roots to search for oxygen. This should encourage a more robust root architecture and discourage gnat larvae.
โ๐ซ Gnat Control: Since gnats thrive in the top 2 inches of damp soil, I'm focusing on surface-level drying.
โ๐ Recovery: Despite the slow-down, the 5 selected nodes are looking healthy and "up for the job." Once the medium hits that sweet spot of aeration, I expect an explosion of vertical growth.
โ๐ก Growerโs Notes: What to Watch
โ
๐ฟโจ Very impressive grow! Your plants look strong, healthy, and well cared for ๐๐
Keep it up! I share my grow journey on YouTube too would love the support ๐๐บ๐ฑ
