Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 10 marks the zenith of our incredible journey with the Big Cheese Auto, and it's like witnessing a grand finale in a botanical symphony. A heartfelt salute to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that have led us to this captivating moment.
Our green queen is gracefully fading into the final chapters of her life, akin to the changing seasons. The Autopot system, our faithful companion, has been the guardian throughout this journey, ensuring a nutrient dance that sculpted the masterpiece before us. It's like the closing act of a green odyssey.
As we approach the grand finale, all additional feedings have come to a serene end. Our Big Cheese Auto is now sipping pure water, a gentle transition as she readies herself for the final curtain call. It's like allowing the plant to gracefully bow out, showcasing the culmination of her life's work.
The transformation is mesmerizing! The colors are shifting like the changing leaves of autumn, a poetic reflection of the plant's life cycle. It's like witnessing nature's artwork unfold, with hues of green, purple, and amber blending seamlessly. Each leaf tells a story, a testament to the plant's resilience and the seasons it has weathered.
The trichomes are now a sparkling crown, each one a testament to the plant's potency. Their production, color, and shape are in perfect harmony, signaling the imminent harvest. It's like a field of glistening diamonds, a visual ode to the journey we've embarked upon.
As a prelude to the final act, all feedings have ceased. Our Big Cheese Auto now drinks pure water, allowing her to express her true essence in these concluding moments. It's like letting her compose the last notes of her botanical symphony.
A profound thank you to Seeds Mafia for entrusting us with genetics that have flourished into this spectacular finale. Aptus Holland, your nutrients have been the invisible hand shaping this journey. Grow Diaries and the community, your support has been the heartbeat of this horticultural tale.
As we stand at the threshold of Week 10, the sense of accomplishment is profound. Our Big Cheese Auto, though reaching the end, leaves behind a legacy in vibrant colors and trichome-laden brilliance. It has been an honor to witness and share this remarkable journey with you all.
Let's continue to cultivate greatness together but first lets see how this one ends !

Hi Potheads,
VEGGING WEEK THREE:
17 days of vegging, only 14 remaining if everything goes smooth as butter , the menace was controlled by the use of aceite springhill + glycerine soap. Plants had a bit on a rough patch because more aggresive plague control means stress , yes, it has its throwbacks but at least plagues were 90% controlled ,with small quantities of flea survivors. Instructions (to evade toxic reaction !) states that next application should be 2 weeks from last spray. thats also fits that's intended to not spray products during flowering stage. Overall , they can still be considered healthy according to their different growing speed and ages.
For plant placement inside the tent , u can use week 1, pic 1 for reference.
G13 Hashplant : They were the ones that received more pest control doses , so they can have some burns and more darker color but still growing at great steps while they almost finished required LST and the pots are almost at 100%.
Santa Bilbo: These one are growing wild and also more tend to be taller than the others on the grow. They are all growing steady, even the one that shares a pot and that was criteria for the next homies.
Eleven Roses: The 4 most healthy topped plants were chosen , transplanted and trained . Because i want to put to have the most colonized soil in JUNE, i put 2 plants per pot, making a total of 12 plants, 4 of each variety.

🌱 Week 1: Popping Beans for the Eternity Grow Cup 2026! 🏆
Strain: Sticky Broccoli Automatic (Zamnesia)
Method: Direct to Soil Germination
Sponsors: Zamnesia & Plagron
🚀 The Journey Begins
Welcome to my official entry for the Eternity Grow Cup 2026! I’m stoked to be running this sponsored grow, powered by the legends at Zamnesia and Plagron. We are kicking things off with a strain that combines heavy-hitting Indica power with a jolt of Sativa energy: Sticky Broccoli Automatic.
Strain Spotlight: The Sticky Truth
Just fire genetics. Sticky Broccoli Automatic is a genetic masterpiece, crossing the resin-drenched Sticky Beast with the legendary Green Crack.
To break it down, we're looking at a lineage of (Bubble Kush x Critical) x Green Crack.
This mix is lethal:
Sticky Beast: Brings that sweet, heavy Indica calm (thanks to the Bubble Gum x OG Kush x Critical heritage).
Green Crack: Injects a rush of fruity energy and mental clarity.
The result? A 90% Indica-dominant autoflower that hits hard with 23% THC but keeps the flavor profile jumping with sweet, floral, and spicy notes. This isn't just broccoli; it's the sticky icky kind.

Hoy cvumplen su primer mes de floracion, e notado que en una al aplicar scrog y vario estres a las ramas se ve como genera mejores cogollos que las semas que casi no moleste, la mas alta se ve un poco flaca con cogollos llenos de tricomas pero no tan gordos, esperare a floracion final

Day 85. All is good, watering with molasses or pure PHed water. My ppm from tap is 150 , ph 7.4-7.6 , really good water.
Girls are runing nice, checked trich, still clear and cloudy, but on Fattest Tangie i spotted today first few ambers , max a week left for her. All other still far from.
See some purpling starting on top colas of couple plants, end is soon !
Strawbery recovers well, think to give her like 5 days more max and switch to 12/12 on 7 of January latest..
Checked how high are them, still dont get how half of 2 unces + are achieved on this site ....
They will be good, but just so little ... Honestly think that only late fast diesel, early tangie will reach 50g plank. Sad result for so much love, i smoke more in four month than that garden will bring in that time ...
Day 86. Time is changed to 12/12. Late FastDiesel and StrawberyCough got heavy feeding, all other girls on pure Phed water diet ;)
Smell is so fruity and sweet , cant wait till its over ...
Added extra 2liters of soil for late FastDiesel, pot had too much space and i want to water her every 3 days, not every 2 like now.
Day 90. Cant hold Strawbery cough surounded by other girls if i want her to be massive ;)
And i really really want it ;)))
So today Fatty Tangie had last 12 hours sleep and now she is choped.
Tomorrow Early bigest FastDiesel falls, other girls still have a week or two.
In anycase January 23 is last day for all of them except late FD and SC.
Fatty had some amber, but like 5% max, she could go for a week aswell, but i need space and best light for Strawbery girl.
I still think that 90 days for auto is too much ... Buds are very dence, i mean VERY, sticky but cant tell anything decent about smell, have cold again and nose doesnt work. She smells, but cant separate smells, feel fruityness 4sure. Guess after cure is more important then now anyway ;)
Day 91. Strawberry started flowering quick, thats good and today is last day for Early big FastDiesel. No i have space for all of them to bloom till my holidays ! No more molasses, just pure phed water, my ppm is about 150.

Nothing special, everything is actually working. Clearly once my water was at the right temperature, no more worries.
The flowers arrived at 12/12 + 11 with the trichromes that pop, it starts to be pleasant! So of course, I'm not going to break any records on this RUN but in any case, I've eliminated a lot of "novelty" and mistakes that I'll make more. I'm counting on the run I'm re-launching to blow all that up, I'm going to go for a performance goal
The stretch is off to a good start, it should settle down around 12/12 +21 - 28, so I will place my second net next week.
I have done a defoliation.
I change the soup in 2 days, so my solution lasts 10 days. I have a slight over-fattening, but really nothing serious, I will switch to an EC of 1.8 - 1.9 instead of 2.0. and I will observe.
Here we can see the delay of one of the plants, it's as if I was shooting with only 3 plants. Next time, only one strain, same size of cuttings and passage by cuttings and RDWV DIY mandatory before passage in the V-system.
Next week, I change the brand of fertilizer for the RDWC, I go to Athena, I will introduce the PK of Athena which according to their recommendation starts at the 21st day at a rate of 2ML/L.
I turn with the base sensi bloom a and b + athena pk
Otherwise, I receive the parts this week for my RDWC DIY system for growth, I'll make it with my friend and I'll test it and I'll give you a feedback on the next update, especially since I'm going to restart right away, I'm going to do 10-15 days in cuttings and then I'll go to the RDWC DIY system for growth until I finish the FLO of the V-SYTEM and then I'll go straight to the next one.
I'm going to put my LEDS at 80% which is the MAX recommendation of SANlight without c0² ( I don't forbid myself to grow at 100% in week 5-6, I'll see... )

Journal de culture – Semaine 4 de croissance (fin)
Je ne suis vraiment pas satisfait de la plante, que je trouve faiblarde et manquant de vitalité. Son développement est lent, et je suspecte que la température, qui descend peut-être trop bas la nuit, pourrait en être la cause. Cependant, même le pied-mère de cette variété n’a pas une croissance exceptionnelle, ce qui me fait penser que le phénotype de cette variété n’est peut-être pas très bon.
Pour ne pas perdre trop de temps, j’ai décidé de la passer en floraison aujourd’hui, avec un cycle de lumière 12-12. J’ai également changé la soupe et préparé 20 litres avec les nutriments nécessaires à la floraison. Sachant que cette variété a tendance à beaucoup stretcher, j’ai pratiqué du LST (Low Stress Training) pour recourber les sommités. Cependant, j’ai accidentellement cassé un apex, laissant seulement trois apex au lieu de quatre.
Bien que je ne sois pas satisfait de cette plante ni du pied-mère, je vais finaliser cette culture et passer à une autre variété ensuite.
🇺🇸Cultivation Journal – Week 4 of Vegetative Growth (End)
I’m really not satisfied with the plant; it seems weak and lacks vitality. Its development is quite slow, and I suspect the nighttime temperatures might be dropping too low. However, even the mother plant of this strain doesn’t show great growth, so I’m thinking the phenotype might not be very good.
To avoid wasting more time, I’ve decided to switch it to flowering today, setting the light cycle to 12-12. I also replaced the nutrient solution, preparing 20 liters with the ingredients required for flowering. Knowing this strain stretches a lot, I applied LST (Low Stress Training) to bend the tops. Unfortunately, I broke one of the four apexes, so now there are only three left.
Even though I’m not happy with this plant or the mother plant, I’ll finish this grow and move on to another strain afterward.

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie)
I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor..
but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢
I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍)
The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless..
and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest.
So goodbye breakup cake..😢
who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳)
happy growing for all ✊

Start of week 2, day 8 of flowering. The plants are sagging a bit in these photos, as I took them just before feeding, except for the pics in the grow room, they are just after feeding. So far, they all look good and healthy, a few leaves are showing some small deficiency signs, hopefully that will go away as additional nutrients are added over the grow cycle.

Bene la prossima settimana farò le piegature dei nuovi rami secondari. Il tempo nell'ultimo mese è stato veramente caldo.. temperature continue di 35+ gradi. Faccio i complimenti a questa varietà per riuscire comunque a resistere.

Week 2 for our banana purple punch from the fastbuds family
All looks good and the buds are forming real quick, we continue for now with master root and master bloom, next week we start to add some more addictives
Some plants had a little to much nutrients but we corrected the dosis and continue with a little less bloom nutrients! For the rest all good!!

Sept 16th,
Finally found some time to work with her again. She nearly got blown over last week. Time to thin her out a bit.
She has braches growing into eachother and lot of popcorn sprouts in the center. I removed rhos to focus energy on outer buds and max out airflow.
Weather has been really damp and cold but she doesnt seem to bother. Hoping for some more sun to see this one finish

Welcome to week 8!
My little apple fritter doing great! The buds getting bigger from day to day and she’s handling the small distance to the light fantastic.
I think I have another 1,5weeks to go and I’m Herz curious about the harvest!
