Sticky Broccoli Zamnesia EternityGrowCup

Cauli First week for the little Sticky Broccolis. Everything is going smooth so far. The pots were watered once before germination with around 100ml water (with a bit of power roots) from the bottom, this will easily last for a few days. Lamp is at 30cm distance wit 20W power. Temperatures are quite low at day and night and so is humidity. Spraying them with water a few times a day and having a big wet towel in the tent helps a bit. Well, it is like it is. For now they look quite happy with everything :)

Cauli Week number two for the little Sticky Broccolis. Just growing slowly but steady to some healthy and happy school kids – incredible how time flies … Lamp intensity was increased to 30W and distance was also increased a bit. They got some new pots this week and were transplanted to 3l pots. The pots have been watered before transplanting from down with around 0.8l each with some nutrients in the water. This will last for a few days and soon main lining will be started … poor little girls will have to take a lot. Super excited already!

Cauli Week number three already for the Sticky Broccolis They found her way to her final homes, a 12.5l and a 9l air pot. Maybe it was too soon, but wanted to start cutting the Ladies soon and well – everything was timed a bit bad and here we are :) Next time the 3l pots will be skipped. It's super annoying to transplant the ladies from them into the bigger air-pots … Both are growing at a good speed and looking healthy and beautiful, with #2 being a bit bigger then the other. So Main Lining was started on day 21 and hope they will recover well and soon :)

Cauli Week four for this two not so little anymore Sticky Broccolis. They almost recovered quite well from the first steps of main lining. Unfortunately they show some signs of pre flowering – let's hope this won't disturb the plan. We'll give them a few more days and then the next cuts will follow. After this they will get around 2-3 additional weeks of veg. Not much to do this week, just watered once and kept an eye on their form.

Cauli Already week number five for this two Sticky Broccolis. They did respond quite well to the main lining. Did the second cuts this week and looks like they will grow very nice and even. Number two got that Calmag / LED Sickness issue on the lower leafs … she was very near to the lamp and in the middle, so maybe it was a bit too much for her. for now she looks fine, but let's see … Switched the lamps already to get a more even illumination. distance was increased a bit and intensity raised to around 100W. Let's give her about two more veg weeks and then let the fun beginn :)

Cauli Week six for this two sticky Broccolis. This week was a pleasure to see how the ladies enjoy the stable time without any cuts, a good amount of light and food. They really thrive and both are beautiful. But, there is a hard decision to make. We wanted to just keep four plants in the tent so every one has the space she deserves. It's getting super crowded now, but it is so hard to decide which Sticky Broccoli to keep :( Number one has a smaller pot (9l) and is a bit smaller but super healthy. Number two was a little faster, has a bigger pot (12.5l) but has shown some CalMag issues in some of the lower leafs (problem should be solved). In the end there are three options: – keep everything as it is – get rid of one – but which one?? – set up a second tent for the smaller one, transplant her one more time and top her eight main branches to let her fill a 60x60 by herself Any suggestions what you would do in this case?

Cauli So, week seven for this two Sticky Broccolis already. Last week of Veg and some decisions had to be made … It was way to crowded it the tent and it was not really possible to decide between the two plants which should go. So, the 60 x 60 tent was fetched from the cellar and Sticky Broccoli #1 (the one in the 9l pot) has got a new big 20l Air-Pot and her own tent. She is now sitting in the 60x60 tent under a Sanlight EVO 3-60 1.5 set to 80W and a ScrOG net is installed. In the first days she looked quite sad. Maybe the light was too intense (lowest setting possible with the magnet dimmer) or she just misses her friends. But, as soon as the net was installed, she is really thriving again! Both plants look great and really looking forward to the flower phase :)

Cauli Week number eight for this Sticky Broccolis – and the first week of 12/12. The lights switched exactly on day 50 and now it's time to be a little patient. Let's give them a few weeks to find their final form and only help them with some good food, plenty of light, some nice words and stable conditions. Light intensity was increased to 150W for #2 and 120W for #1 and despite watering and watching there is not much to do right now. Number one in her own 60x60 really enjoys the big air pot and her space now. But, both are looking great and growing super nice so far. Really looking forward to the next weeks :)

Cauli Week number nine for the two sticky broccoli. It's twelve Days since the light switched to 12/12 and both ladies are in full stretch mode! Their feeding is slowly changed to flowering nutrients and they seem to like. Both definitely need a heavy defoliation before bulking phase – but just staying patient the next days and waiting till the stretch is over. Hope the stretch will stay moderate, especially in the 60x60 tent the height is very limited. Quite happy so far, both plants grow happy and beautiful :)

Cauli Week ten for this two Sticky Broccoli already … Both Ladys are looking good so far, both had to get rid of a huge amount of branches and leafs. hope it was a good timing! But this week also was a bit of a struggle. Had to move the fan outside of the small tent to get the lamp a bit higher, the 160 cm height of the tent really are very tight for #1 in the 20l pot. And while doing this, seemed to have touched a switch on the timer and so the lamp was a few days 24h on – think around 90 hours of constant light for her from day 11 till 14 of flowering time. Well, this will be a big stress test for the girl. Hope she will not hermite and not really re veg cause the tent is already too small Oo Despite this both are doing really great and number 2 is a real beauty! Lamp settings are 120W in the small tent and 180W in the big one now. Now the fun begins :)

Cauli Week eleven for this two Sticky Broccolis. Day 26 of 12/12. Okay what a week … will say something to both: #1: Of course she re vegged because of the almost 100h of non stop light between flowering day 10 and 15. This resulted in a massive second stretch phase and while her buds did not develop much she grew to 115cm height – way too much for the 160cm tent as you can see. Just ordered a new Spider Farmer 60 x 60 x 180 to give her a bit more space. This lady is a real monster and hope she won't stretch any more now. Light was decreased in the beginning of the week and is now raised to 160W. Let's go girl!! 💚 #2 Looks like the stretch is over and she can now focus on stacking up some buds! Full Bloom Feeding now and light was raised to around 250W this week. Rebuild the towers a bit so all plants are almost the same height now. She look's really good! super frosty already and hope this will be a very smooth flowering phase with her. Already have seen so many beautiful sticky broccoli buds here and can't wait for her buds to grow nice and big :) Hope there won't be any more trouble in the next weeks. Both are so beautiful plants and very happy to have kept them both :)

Cauli Week twelve for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 33 of 12/12. #1: This Lady is so huge … Hope she will not really grow anymore. One Bud is already 10cm close to the lamp and she is definitely showing some signs of light stress. Still wish she will not hermaphrodite in the end. Hoping the best, cause she is really a beautiful beast :) #2 This one is going strong! Buds are already covered in resin and look like they will grow really dense and beautiful in the next weeks! Two really amazing plants. Will be some exciting last weeks with them :)

Cauli Week thirteen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 39 of 12/12. #1: Well, did not take her out of the tent for pictures this week cause she will surely fall in all directions. This one is huge and looks like she will get some really long and big buds. But this will be a very tight finish for the contest. She just got five weeks left when there should be some dry buds shown … let's see if she'll make it in time! #2 This one is still going strong. Bud development and resin production are on a high level and just hoping for a smooth finish. Had to fix her up a bit to stabilize her already but despite this there wasn't much to do :)

Cauli Week fourteen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 47 of 12/12. #1: Again, did not take her out of the tent for pictures this week cause she will surely fall in all directions. Tried to combine the LED light and flash for the pictures – but this will lead to a horrible white balance. Maybe shooting some pictures again with flash only before or after the LED light switches off. She really is huge and will get some really long and big buds. But this will be a very tight finish for the contest. She just got around 30 days left when there should be some dry buds shown … let's see if she'll make it in time! #2 This one is doing her thing. Buds are growing bigger and resin production is on point. Will be very exciting to see how she will finish in the next weeks :)

Cauli Week fifteen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 54 of 12/12. #1: Okay, this one is going crazy! She almost looks like she'll grow out off the tent soon and will conquer the whole flat. Smell is very very spicy, never had something like this. Buds are huge but a bit fluffy for now – let's see what this beast is able to do in the next three weeks :) Again, did not take her out of the tent for pictures this week cause she will surely fall in all directions. Also had to stabilize her a bit – will look to get it a bit better the next days but it's okay for now. Did wait till the light turn off and photographed with flash – this makes the pictures definitely a bit better! #2 She looks like she is almost ready for harvest, but will have to stay a bit longer in the tent for now. She's also a bit chaotic, this seems to be the theme for this run – pure chaos ^^ Also had to stabilize her and tried to get her a bit more sorted … next time definitely more lollipopping! Very excited about the next weeks and how both will finish. They look like two very different phenotypes – but maybe it's just the different conditions or the re vegging of #1 in her early flowering phase cause of the non stop light. Again – this is a pure CHAOS run which has born a beast :)

Cauli Week sixteen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 62 of 12/12. #1: Well, had to stabilize her and put her out of the tent last week for some better pictures. This Lady is going super crazy! That one bud is very surreal. and overall she's just so so massive. She got some CalMag issues, but she is so close to the lamp so it can't be perfect. As long as she is growing that baby head sized bud everything is fine :) Just hope she will finish in time, but we'll see … #2 This will be her last week. Many trichomes are amber already and her smell is breathtaking. It's very pungent and spicy and she is heavily covered in trichomes. What a sparkling beauty! Was a good week and a pleasure to watch both :)

Cauli Week seventeen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 69 of 12/12. #1: She's just not stopping to grow. That plant is absolutely crazy! Decided to make the light circle a little bit shorter and decreased light intensity to 80% (160W). Still thinking when to harvest her, but will wait as long as possible. Contest says „show pictures of your harvested buds“ – so maybe wait until end of may to chop her and upload dry pictures after that as soon as possible … What would you do? #2 She was chopped on day 115 after 65 days of 12/12. Will Update and show Harvest pictures in the end for both of them – so for now only pictures of #1 in the Update.

Cauli Week eighteen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 76 of 12/12. #1: Did not take that beast out of the tent this week. She just won't stop growing, it's really insane. Buds are getting dense and trichomes are sparkling! There are a lot of cloudy/milky ones – but not much amber to see despite on the sugar leafs. Best thing would be to give here some more days, but running out of time. Do you think they want to see dry buds in the contest? It just states „harvested buds“ and it would be so great to give her one more week. It's an absolute dilemma right now. Planning to cut her down the next days but would love to wait a bit longer … #2 She was chopped on day 115 after 65 days of 12/12. Buds are just waiting to be trimmed! Will Update and show Harvest pictures in the end for both of them – so for now only pictures of #1 in the Update.

Cauli Week nineteen for the Sticky Broccolis – and that was the journey! #1: Well, decided to harvest her just in time before the end of the contest. She easily could have used some more days – but we went on a vacation and it would not been possible to show dry buds at the end of the contest if waited longer. Trichomes were mostly milky, so it's definitely a good one! Netherless it would have been very interesting how she had done with a few more days. What to say about her … this lady was so crazy, with a bud in the size of a children's head. Smell is very spicy and floral, it gives some classic old school and reminds of something in the past. very pleasant! Just trimmed a few buds to show them, rest will follow but had barely time and so the rest waits in glasses. #2 She was a lot faster then her sister and could have easily been harvested some days before. Lot of amber trichomes, very dense and hard nuggets. Just looking like some super solid and beautiful weed. But she's staying in the shadow of her sister which performed so awesome. This years cup was a great ride again. So many beautiful plants and diaries and good times with fellow growers. Love the community – it's so awesome with you all 💚 Good luck to everybody and enjoy your harvests! PS: will update with a video and a few more pictures soon if possible … Okay – can just upload a maximum of 40 pictures so deleted a lot and made space for one video. will follow soon :)
