grow_king 🌸 Bloom Phase Week 2
The plants are currently showing strong growth 🚀. To keep the lamp at the optimal distance, a daily adjustment of about 3–5 cm is necessary.
Two plants are sensitive to the current amount of fertilizer. I will flush these as soon as the soil from the last watering has dried sufficiently.
Otherwise, everything has been very low-maintenance so far. The largest plant shows a particularly high water requirement. Therefore, I plan to install a drip-Blumat system in the near future to better tailor the watering to the individual needs of all plants.
#3 is a hermaphrodite, unfortunately, the largest plant at 82 cm must be disposed of.

grow_king 🥦 Bloom Phase Week 3
One plant unfortunately developed pollen sacs. I had to dispose of the largest plant (#3). Lollipopping was scheduled for day 21 of the bloom, and that's when I noticed it. The two plants with deficiencies had a slightly elevated pH level in the drain. Since I lowered the pH level in the watering water slightly with phosphoric acid, the plants look better.

grow_king 🥦 Flowering Phase Week 4
The flower formation is in full swing. The plants look healthy and vibrant. The deficiency symptoms in two plants, caused by a too high pH level in the substrate, have completely disappeared. The stretch should be over soon. Starting with the next watering, Green Sensation will be mixed into the watering water for heavy and compact flowers. I'm excited to see the further development of this very relaxed grow so far.

grow_king Flowering Week 5 🥦
The plants are developing wonderfully. The buds are numerous and growing continuously – it's just beautiful to watch their development.
The plants' thirst is noticeably increasing, and the drying phases are getting shorter.
Additionally, there has been a change in lighting: For the past two days, two Sanlight EVO 4-120 1.5 units have been in use.
I am confident that everything will continue to run as smoothly as it has so far.

The largest plant probably has a too high pH level in the substrate. The large sun leaves are getting lighter, I'll measure the drain during the next watering.
All plants are continuously increasing in flower mass. The amount of nutrients according to the schedule is being very well tolerated, strong over-fertilization symptoms are not visible.
The stretch is over, no further height increase can be observed.
The smell is intensifying increasingly, the most noticeable is a lemon scent. I'm curious to see how the journey continues 😃

The buds are clearly increasing in volume – I would even say they have doubled in size. The pH level in the runoff is within the normal range, as is the EC value. A few days ago, I placed the drip Blumats in the pots to cover the five days. I hope everything works as planned. Overall, I’m satisfied with how things are going right now.

grow_king Flowering week 8 🥦 🍂
The plants have survived the five days without me very well. The Blumat drip system has done its job reliably. When I looked into the pots, I was amazed: The roots have already grown up to the surface.
Especially the larger plant could probably have developed even more potential if I had had the opportunity to quench its insatiable thirst for nutrients earlier. During my daily checks of the pot weight, I noticed that the big one always had the strongest drying out. However, different watering days would have been too complicated for me, so in between, I just gave a bit of extra pH-adjusted water to quench its thirst.
Of the 47 liters in the tank, about two-thirds have been used up in the past seven days. The Blumat drip system #1 is now dripping almost continuously. Still, nothing is leaking out of the pot below, and it doesn't feel overly heavy. It's impressive how different the nutrient and water uptake can be between the plants.
The smell has changed significantly and is getting more intense day by day. The buds are continuing to swell vigorously, and the first stigmas are already turning brown. The trichomes are currently almost completely milky.
Autumn has arrived – the beautiful colors of the leaves create a great overall picture. In the next few days, I will switch the light cycle to 11/13 to make the most of the remaining time and give the ladies a good push for the final stretch.

Sticky Broccoli is a modern hybrid strain with vigorous growth, dense flower structure, and an intense terpene profile. The strain impresses with compact, resinous buds and strong development during the stretch.
Genetics: Hybrid
Growth: Vital and robust
Flower Structure: Dense and resinous
Aroma: Spicy, earthy, and slightly creamy with fresh herbal notes
Cultivation: Easy to care for and high-yielding
Impression in Grow:
During the grow, Sticky Broccoli displayed uncomplicated development with stable side branches and heavy buds towards the end of flowering. Individual phenotypes may vary slightly in flower structure – from very compact to somewhat airy buds. The strong resin production and intense aroma in the last weeks of flowering were particularly striking. Overall, the plants developed very homogeneously.

grow_king Harvest
After a short vegetative phase, all the plants have stretched to a nice size. The buds have become heavy and dense, although one phenotype has developed slightly airier flowers than the others. Overall, the entire grow went smoothly and without major issues. The individual branches have partially supported each other. When I pulled the plants out one by one, some side branches bent under the weight of the buds. Could be worse 😂 – it just didn't look as pretty for the photos.
On June 3, 2026, I had a flower from Pheno #1 tested with a Purpl PRO testing device.
Results:
23% THC
2% or less CBD (2% is the lower measurement limit) see last photo
