Eternity Cup 26 - Sticky Broccoli (Hunt)

Ogba_Ibukun I grow in 50/50 Fox Farm Happy Frog and Ocean Forest potting soil. For the first 3-4 weeks its mostly plain water. With occasional compost tea and kelp or seaweed extract (usually every ~2 weeks) nothing strong PPM around 350-400! Want those roots to be healthy and colonize quickly.

Ogba_Ibukun Starting Week 2 I gently start bending the branches and leaves down to begin preparing for heavy training later on during stretch! I find this helps the plant get used being handled and further strengthens it later on. * All the ladies began expressing their phenotype characteristics and overall cultivar expression! * - Maki, Cyclops, and Jean all show the tendency to reach. Internode spacing is normal at best not to tight not widespread either. LST and topping will be essential as my grow tent height is limited. - Mai seems to be quite bushy; tight internodes, short, and bushy. It is quite evident early that pot size has a direct correlation with harvest window and overall Auto flower progression. As seen in Jean although exactly the same age as Cyclops due to being in a 2.5 gal smaller container, she has filled her pot faster thus leaves are larger and growth seems accelerated. Week two I still primarily water with a spray bottle, mixed in a quarter of Compost tea and Kelp to help establish and strengthen the root column. Starting week 3 I plan to tie down the branches and top Maki, Cyclops, and Jean once the 4th node appears. I will introduce Gypsum also to begin cell wall structural integration.

Ogba_Ibukun Week three the ladies began the primary school phase. Started gaining inches by the day and spreading out trying to fill to the edges of the container! All four ladies began expressing their uniqueness and as with life they all required different attention and care to maximize their unique genetic potential. ***** Maki - Sprouted later than her plant twin however gained momentum and never looked back. She is healthy green, tall but not stretched, she has 4 cm internodes, she has started to side branch and showing early traits of sex meaning flower onset. Her lower two branches were stapled down beginning her LST. ***** Mai - Started off fast due to her being potting twins with Maki when she started to grow I mistakenly and wrongly of me treated them the same. Mai didn't respond to it kindly at all. She stressed out and curled into a protective shell. Through some digging with research and lots of questions the cause was found to be a lack of oxygen in the root zone cause by overly compacted and wet soil. Once leaves showed degradation not deficiency they were cut then the medium was forced to dry and manually loosened. Time will tell how she responds. ***** Jean - Is our lady collecting data in the 2.5 gal SIP plastic pots. She sprouted in 48 hrs and has never let her foot off the pedal. I learned how to water in these pots after overwater ~20 plants, the method is to water top down use the reservoir as a catch and slight moisture gradient pool so the roots always search down for the wettest zone. Her size compared to the others is significantly bigger: larger leaves, more side branching, larger overall canopy. ***** Cyclops - Shows many similarities to Maki she however sprouted slightly quicker in only ~40 hours. Her internode spacing is slightly greater than Maki's which will require some ingenuity in training. Now compared to her planting twin Jean she is smaller, less branching, and shorter. I do think the pot size will eventually limit Jean and Cyclops will surpass but only time will tell. Thanks for getting this far! From the moistest soil to the outermost on your journey don't forget to toke! 👊

Ogba_Ibukun 👉FLOWER TIME👈 - Maki received a *double topping* which is uncommon in Auto's. She is very rigorous adapting to all training within 12-24 hrs. - Mai is surviving the hard defoliation and root wash that was applied. Once she found her footing she started recovering. Will she ever bounce back? Stay tuned in! - Attack Titan is crawling from over the last castle wall. She is stretching daily will overtake Maki in overall size if my guess is correct. She was topped once above the 4th node. - Jean is slowly turning into the phoenix she has fully colonized her pot, she resembles a small outside shrub more than anything. She was topped once above the 4th node. 👊For making it this far thank you!👊 KEEP GROWING!

Ogba_Ibukun In full transparency feeding 4 plants although of the same cultivar is not possible to track the nutrients for all on here the listed nutrients are for Attack Titan and Jean (Maki and Mai are largely similar with minute differences.) Week 5 Update --Jean-- PHYSICIC POWERS ACTIVATTTEEDDDDD! She took off this week from breaking free from the barriers I put on her when she was younger to fully manifesting. She has fully colonized her pot both her roots and canopy have taken over. Although she was topped I found that this cultivar is rather resilient. She like the other phenos is very water hungry thus care is needed in the stretch phase to allow proper hydration while not causing burn from early PK push. --Attack Titan-- From taking 48-72 hours to pop to crawling over wall Maria on the verge of annihilating all the space above with the most unique Titan buds. Her split looks weirder and more skeletal as time goes by. The branches have become like main trunks and are healthy thick like bamboo. She also drinks water thus requires attention to water mobile nutrients as to not immobilize or run deficient. --Mai-- She is recovering from the over saturated root zone and deprivation of oxygen. Her new growth is sprouting from the main trunk from the cut deceased spots. New growth is health vertical stretch has resumed and she looks fit and prime for continued action. --Maki-- It seems as Mai recovers Maki is beginning to shed all her cursed energy her heavenly restriction is starting to shine. Her vigor with resilient nature allowed her to survive two toppings in less than 10 days. She also fell into the cultivar problem of an increase of water mobile nutrients as she drinks heavily during stretch. ********* IN SOIL EXPECT TO INCREASE WATER MOBILE NUTRIENTS TO ASSIST THE STRECTH THIS WILL MAINTAIN LEAF COLOR WHILE ESTABLISHING BUD SITES QUICKLY ********************** Thank you for your continued interest these ladies and I appreciate the support! Keep growing 👊👊

Ogba_Ibukun Each lady is fully in her own identity now yet genetic traits are very visible. Mai Is still recovering from her "condition" she is growing new foliage, her stem is thickening, it seems like her root system is back alive and ready to thrice. Maki She is undergoing strict training this week to catapult her heavenly restriction to its maximum. She is vigorous and takes all training within hours. Her leaf's are maintaining a deep lush green, she has increased her feed and water consumption also guzzling down ~ 1 gal of water a day. Goal this week was to strengthen her and force stress to increase yield and terpene production. Jean This lady stretched just like her sisters and quickly outpaced the nourishment in her pot during the early flower phase. This deficiency caused a major nitrogen deficiency which was difficult to diagnose and correct. Bud sites are forming faster due to her smaller pot she is later on in growth at similar time compared to the other phenos. On observation it seems her overall structure is still similar to the others and may yield closely? Attack Titan Her training is starting to shine. the structure closely resembles a titans spine crawling, the bud sites are forming up and down even the tail portion. Her stretch was aggressive and a feed was lower than needed which caused a short period of Mg deficiency, a top soil sprinkle and that has stopped and she is back to forming new green leaves. 🖖🏿 Thanks Keep growing 👊🏿

Ogba_Ibukun The training started to shine this week all the ladies shone through their respective methods. --Jean-- Is still managing her nutrient issue bud sites are developed with new pistils popping every day. Her color is quite concerning, maybe nutrient imbalance or demand at this point not sure new leaves appear greener so correction may be setting in. --Attack Titan-- Tying down her main apical tip the way I did I believe cause her stress in a very productive way. IMO this may be a method to implement with topping vigorous Autoflowers. Using this technique I was able to produce a plant with two distinctive "sides." Both sides are not equal this may have been due to lighting in the tent. One side is taller (~2-4") bud sites however look uniform which is surprising. --Maki-- Is now shining with her double topping. Once stretch set branches were controlled daily to spread and cover as close as half of the 4 x 2 tent. She is the most vigorous and therefore has been the most challenging as far as keeping her satisfied. --Mai-- Is now developing bud sites and stretching although quite dwarfed. Not sure how she is going to turn out I would be surprised if it buds at all. I have been keeping her feed, light, and watering as dry backed as possible to allow her roots to rest and recover. Stay tuned! Till next time Keep Growing !!
