Stoney_Stark Week 2 Update — Sticky Broccoli Auto Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Early Veg (Week 2) ⸻ Growth Overview Plants are establishing well and responding positively to automation. No visible stress from the siphoning incident. What initially appeared to be a nitrogen deficiency was later identified as a magnesium deficiency common in coco systems, with a light green fade also indicating the early onset of nitrogen demand. ⸻ Irrigation & Automation • Transitioned to auto-irrigation emitters this week • Distribution appears even across all plants • Initial siphoning issue identified and corrected by removing pump after feed cycle • Monitoring pot weight closely to avoid overwatering ⸻ Watering & Feeding Log 1/29 — First Auto-Irrigation Run • Amount: ~¼ gallon per plant • PPM: 420 • pH: 5.9 Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 4 ml Cocos A • 4 ml Cocos B • 2 ml Power Roots • 3 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 2 ml Photo+ • 1 ml Fish Sh!t Notes: First run with emitters. Feed appeared evenly distributed. ⸻ 1/31 — Siphoning Incident • Issue: 5-gallon bucket siphoned into all 4 plants • Result: No negative plant response observed Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 4 ml Cocos A • 4 ml Cocos B • 2 ml Power Roots • 3 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 2 ml Photo+ • 1 ml Fish Sh!t ⸻ 2/1 — Auto-Irrigation Dialed In • Feed Time: 1 minute • Runoff: Small amount • Adjustment: Pump removed immediately after feed to prevent siphoning Observations: • Noticed early light green coloration initially interpreted as nitrogen deficiency • Adjustments made to increase available nitrogen Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 4 ml Cocos A • 4 ml Cocos B • 2 ml Power Roots • 3 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 2 ml Photo+ • 1 ml Fish Sh!t • +2 ml additional Cocos A • +1 ml Royal Rush ⸻ 2/2 — Moisture Hold • Pots felt heavy • Decision made to skip watering for 1–2 days to avoid overwatering ⸻ 2/3 — Light Auto Feed + Deficiency Diagnosis • Feed Time: 1 minute • Pots: Still holding moisture; irrigation paused for the next couple days Updated Diagnosis: • What initially appeared to be nitrogen deficiency was confirmed to be magnesium deficiency, common in coco when running low-mineral water • The light green coloration also indicates the beginning stages of increased nitrogen demand Correction Plan: • Adding Scientetics MagCal at 2 ml per gallon starting next feed to supply readily available magnesium and calcium • Nitrogen levels maintained via Cocos A and Royal Rush without over-increasing EC Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 6 ml Cocos A • 6 ml Cocos B • 3 ml Power Roots • 4 ml Pure Zym • 4 ml Photo+ • 2 ml Fish Sh!t • 1 ml Royal Rush • (MagCal to be added next feed) ⸻ Issues & Adjustments • Magnesium deficiency: Identified and corrected with planned MagCal supplementation • Early nitrogen demand: Being met through controlled increases to Cocos A and Royal Rush • Overwatering risk: Managed via pot-weight monitoring and irrigation pauses • Auto-irrigation: Functioning correctly after siphon fix ——— Deficiency Learning Note This week provided a useful reminder about how nutrient deficiencies present in coco-based systems. What initially appeared to be early nitrogen deficiency was identified as magnesium deficiency, which commonly manifests as a light green fade and interveinal chlorosis on lower leaves. In coco, magnesium can become limiting even when using coco-specific base nutrients, particularly when running low-mineral or RO water. The light green coloration also coincided with increasing nitrogen demand as the plants transitioned deeper into vegetative growth. Rather than aggressively raising EC, the correction strategy focused on restoring magnesium availability while maintaining balanced nitrogen levels. ⸻ Plan for Week 3 • Introduce Scientetics MagCal at 2 ml/gal • Allow pots to dry slightly before next irrigation • Monitor color correction in new growth • Fine-tune auto-irrigation timing and volume • Gradually increase feed strength as plants size up

Sie sieht soweit gut aus, aber spargelt ein wenig. Vielleicht liegts daran, dass sie erst gegen 11 Uhr direkte Sonne bekommt.

Beautiful week! Seen some beautiful growth and stems are becoming very thick! What great genetics so far! Elev8 seeds so far seem really good, I’ve grown these breeder seeds before and the same thing Beautiful growth and thick healthy stems! I used the destiny foliar spray and they seem to like it! All plants showing stretching too the light! This will be my second crop using the kind led K5 XL1000 wifi enabled! What a beautiful light, the plants seem to love it as well! I topped them a few days ago and the growth has started. I’m thinking of flipping these babies week 4 maybe week 5

Also der schrecken nimmt kein Ende und die Pflanze hat jetzt absolut keinen Platz mehr in dem Grow Koffer. Es ist wirklich aktuell ein Horror, aus dem ich viele Learnings mitnehmen werde.

Flowers are still stretching towards the light. Also starting to look like actual buds now all that work is starting to show. Plant is now very thirsty and drinking about 3l during lighting hours it could probably drink more every morning the pot is so light showing me that it’s drinking all of it over night I like this plant so much I started making more seeds by rooting the cuttings in soil. They will produce seeds as they will also produce pollen! Hopefully I will contain the pollen away from the main plants by keeping the pots under humidity dome

I finally found the time to transplant the Bubblegum ladies to the flowering tent. The seeds were planted on the 13th of Januari, all the seedlings have been topped on february 2nd and transplanted today. They will remain under the 18-6 schedule for the oncoming days.

7 Blüte Woche Tag:73 Es kann sich nur noch um 3-4 Tage handeln bis die Mrs. Glue Gelato erntereif ist. Die Trichome sind jetzt alle wolkig, ein paar Bernsteinfarben. Die Buds sind in den letzten Tagen noch kompakter geworden und haben an Volumen zugelegt. Der ganze grow room riecht fruchtig süß🍊🍋🍍🍭🍰. Ich denke mit 76 Tagen müsste die Lady zufrieden sein dann wird gehackt. Ich bin mit dem ganzen Verlauf wie die Glue Gelato gewachsen ist hoch zufrieden. Sie fällt einem sofort ins Auge, selbst wenn sie zwischen zahlreichen anderen Schönheiten steht. Sie hat ein besonderes Aussehen das einem sofort auffällt, die schokoladige Farbe und dann die stacheligen Stigmen, als würden sich zahlreiche Wespen in den Blütenkelchen tummeln. Auch hat sie ein besonderen Terpen Geruch, von dem ich sehr angenehm angetan bin. Ich bin auf die Verkostung gespannt, ich hoffe sie schmeckt wie sie riecht. Ich danke euch für eure Unterstützung und werde euch auf den Laufenden halten. Ich wünsche allen meinen Kollegen ein Glückliches Wachstum und reichliche Ernten.

Thanks for all of your replies to my questions. I will be slowly upping the bloombastic 0.1ml every other feed until we get to 1ml. 3rd July. I done a light defoliate around the base of the plant, a few small bud sites removed that were tiny and 6/7 leaves that were dieing from the bottom to free up space around the soil. Day 44, lowered nutrition to nearly half.

Added bit of nutrients this week.Still the plant presents some decoloured spots on the leaves also on the new ones.Im thinking Biobizz soils its too much fertilized...Anyway still growing so fast day by day Day 21 topped the plant.
