Entrada dia 30 (sin marcación de desarrollo de plántula) : Señores y Señoras, un mes desde el comienzo de vegetativo y creo que cuando miréis el vídeo que he colgado no vais a creerlo, por que yo tampoco me lo creería, ni por un millón de florines filipinos. Os explico, todas las cuentas de crecimiento, nutrición y desarrollo expectables se han ido sencillamente a la basura y os explicó por qué. Primero, estamos en un ritmo que en cerca de seis dias, los cuatro cultivars están tomando la friolera de 24 litros, o sea que estamos con un ritmo de 4 litros de absorción diarios y eso sencillamente y por aritmética nos va con un litro por grow. El calor ha sido impiedoso la pasada semana y incluso ahora que la temperatura ya ha caído en torno a cinco grados (en temperatura máxima), la increíble tasa de absorción de agua se debe ahora esencialmente al increíble tirón que la cepa afgana fast de Sweet Seeds, ha tenido en los últimos días. Hubo cambio en el ciclo lumínico pasando ya a 12/12, y en este limbo entre final de vegetativo y empiezo de floración, en los últimos cinco dias los cultivars han ganado como 25 centímetros en altura y la multiplicación de ramas laterales ha sido exponencial. Sencillamente os invito a que echéis un vistazo a la entrada del pasado viernes y que registréis, la diferencia de crecimiento en tan solo 5/6 días. Con ello, cuestión número 1 : hasta que talla seguirán las chiquillas afganas "tirando"...todo lo que tenía pensado de cultivars sobre los 65/70 centímetros se han ido al garete y tendremos cultivars de talla de metro muy próximamente y con ello un armario abarrotado y sin un palmo más de espacio. Cuestión número 2: que vamos a hacer con el olor de esta cepa?!? En entrada de pré-floración, ese olor dulzón (casi al puro skunk) ya se hace sentir tremendamente en la habitación donde está el kit del armario de grow. Ya he instalado el ventilador de ozono y algo de olor se dispersa pero si la realidad en pré-floración es esta, cuando empezemos a ganar cogollos, hojas de azúcar y tirón de terpenos, no se a lo cierto, lo que será necesario para evitar la dispersión del olor y eso en un apartamento en un condominio, no es algo que pueda ser despreciable y habrá que intentar crear algún cultivo de plantas de compañía en mi terraza de modo a que se pueda ocultar el fuerte aroma que esta cepa tiene. Cuestión número tres - nutrientes necesarios y consumo de solución nutritiva. Como os he dicho, ahí vamos con nuestro Quadgrow, "chupando" por via de los "smart mat" que caben a cada una de las macetas, más de 20 litros en 5 días...empezé la entrada del diario haciendo aritmética simple, o sea que cada uno de los cuatro grows se toma un litro al día. No hay misterios, grows con crecimiento tremendo, sujetos a calor elevadísimo y humedad relativa que en los días más próximos, llegó a los casi 75% (os había dicho en otras entradas que estuvimos con humedad muy baja, sobre 40%, pero en la última semana y con el tiempo de "levante" (vientos de norte de África y con humedad llegada del Mediterráneo) hemos tenido días de casi 80% de humedad. Si en invierno, 80% ya es una humedad respectable y que no puede prolongarse mucho tiempo, por las condiciones de aparecimento de hongos, en verano, si sumamos a temperaturas sobre los 35ºC, humedades a los 80%, tenemos el "cóctel" perfecto para cualquier ser viviente (sea animal, vegetal o de otro reino biológico) tenga necesidad casi permanente de água (el calor y humedad, tienen la función reversa de causar deshidratacion rapidísima y con ello, hay necesidad biológica de reponer el agua perdida. Estos factores son también determinantes para que nuestra hidroponia y su reserva de 25 litros, sea suplida a los grows en cada 6 días, cuando mi idea sería que habría que rectificar solución nutritiva tan solo a cada diez/doce días, pero la verdad es simple y salta a la vista, a menos de cada semana es necesario hacer nueva cuba de solución y dejar que el sistema radicular de los grows se encargue de marcar el ritmo de riego. Como podéis también ver, esta semana ya hemos empezado a aplicarle la "forma" deseable para sacar renta a los grows. Ya ha sido colocado el entranzado SCROG para que podamos direccionar el sentido de crecimiento de las ramas laterales y también ha sido puesto en práctica, una primera defoliación, para limpiar exceso de hojas y sobretodo por la necesidad de la no existencia de áreas de sombra junto al sustrato de coco y evitar que puedan crearse hongos patógenos, pese a que mis grows siempre son "brindados" con micorrizas y trichodermas, justo para evitar cualquier disgusto a causa de un "menos pensado o deseado" Botritys, Fusarium o "amiguete" del estilo. Para final, que Dios Jah siempre nos proteja a todos, en los grows, en los que mal nos desean y a los que nos pueden hacer daño sin que algo tengamos echo para tal. Green greets y la semana que viene, espero volver y para enseñaros algun esbozo de floración inicial.

PurplePunchOG Auto Week 4 What up Grow Fam. Weekly update on these 3 little ladies. I did a defoliation and topped the bigger one in the back but over all seems to be going smoothly. I'll start introducing nutes General Hydroponics 3 part flora series with some calmag this week and see how they handle it. All in all been a great week. Happy Growing

"Chugging" along this week. Weather is hot, girls are loving the all time drip system. Forgot that my nutes and hot sun dont mix well and created a bad case of algae. Will monitor more often and maybe increase the drip flow

Keepin an eye on the trichomes of the first plant, cause imo her main top is ripe A bit purple both... gettin close! Nutrients up untill flowering Trichomes still white, her top looks ready. As long she doesn´t turn amber, I´m lettin them grow 👐👍 I'm thinkin about lettin the thin one just trun amber... it's such a small and thin plant. Doesn't matter if the CBD drops, I want more harvest! The thin one smells like candy and flowers 😛🤩 she´s also very white and frosty

Starting 4 week! I have moved 2 Monster and the strawberry in a 11L pot and moved the dosidos and Gorilla in 6,5L pot. I did a light Lst son Monster Zkittlez, they are growing faster then others. Overall at moment it’s a good result but temperature are still high and for this reason I think I will give them probably around 10 daysmore in the growing stage! Happy growing !!

The end of the fourth week. Only 2,5 to 3 weeks to go, since this is the FAST version of Gelato 33 by Advanced seeds. Last week temps were better, so that was a lot better to manage. The smell is a different story. We are trying to combat it as we speak with a double filter which my friend still had from a previous grow. The ladies are performing, however, because this is a monstercrop with many budsites, none of them will be very big. We anticipate a lot of cutting come harvest time. The stickieness and smell (cookies, dough, herbs, spices, gingerbread, vanilla) promise a lot to make up for that hopefully!! The middle plant that seemed to go fastest, now looks like to have the hardest time flowering. Her more advanced stage of flowering as a bigger clone, made it harder for her to return to veg, which she never really did. This seems to make her want to rush to the finish, as she is already browning the pistils. Also these buds seem more flakey, popcorny. As if the many flowers and grapelike bundled growth was too much for her. I put the light a little closer, to help her fatten up in the time she is given. I never expected the two 'runts' to outperform the mighty middle clone, but hey seem to fatten up and age much more nicely. So for now, prelimenary tip: make sure all your plants are completely revegged before flowering and consider that faster flowering species might have some ruderalis ancestry that might siderail all your lighting intentions and remains in flower what ever the growers lighting schedule. So with at least two more weeks for the two outer plants, and well see how many for the middle one, we are going to make them as comfortable as possible the final push of this flowering. Thank you for following and see you next week!!

Sticky Broccoli Auto — Week 5 Update Stage: Early Flower (Week 1) Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms ⸻ Growth Overview Week 5 marks the official transition into flower, and all four Sticky Broccoli autos are responding strongly. The two larger plants have entered an aggressive stretch phase, showing more sativa-leaning internodal expansion than expected for an indica-dominant cultivar. The two smaller plants remain shorter and bushier, expressing a more classic indica structure. Overall vigor is excellent across the tent. Leaf color is vibrant, stems are thickening rapidly, and there are no visible deficiency or toxicity symptoms. ⸻ What’s Happening This Week (Plant Physiology Breakdown) This week represents the flower initiation + stretch overlap, one of the most metabolically demanding phases of an auto: 1. Rapid Stretch (Hormonal Shift) • Plants are responding to increased flowering hormones (gibberellins and auxins) • Internode spacing is increasing rapidly on the larger phenos • Energy is being redirected toward vertical growth while flower sites are forming This explains why the two larger plants are stretching “harder” than expected, despite indica genetics. 2. Root Demand & Water Uptake Increase • Daily feeding to runoff is necessary because: • Root mass has expanded significantly • Transpiration rates are high due to stretch • Coco dries faster under increased metabolic load The initial underwatering sign on one larger plant (2/18) aligns perfectly with this surge in demand. 3. Nutrient Uptake Shift • Nitrogen demand is still present (for stretch), but tapering • Phosphorus and potassium uptake are ramping up • Enzyme activity and carbohydrate metabolism are increasing rapidly Your slight drop from ~1100 ppm to ~1000 ppm combined with consistent runoff resets kept the root zone perfectly balanced during this sensitive transition. 4. Post-Defoliation Response • The 2/20 defoliation and lollipopping improved: • Light penetration to lower sites • Airflow through the canopy • Hormonal focus on top flower sites The strong recovery seen by 2/21 confirms the plants were ready for it. ⸻ Watering & Feeding Strategy Medium: Coco Irrigation: Auto-watering system Frequency: Near-daily Runoff Target: 10–30% depending on reset goal The alternating heavier runoff days (30%) and lighter days (5–15%) is ideal for: • Preventing salt buildup • Maintaining stable EC in the root zone • Supporting rapid stretch without overfeeding ⸻ Nutrient Mix (Per Gallon) • 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom • 8 ml Cocos A • 12 ml Cocos B • 1 ml Green Sensation • 1 ml Power Buds • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus (added 2/24) PPM: ~1000 pH: 5.8–5.9 ⸻ Plant Status Summary • Stretch is strong but controlled • Root zone fully reset and balanced • No signs of stress post-defoliation • Flower sites stacking rapidly • Photosynthesis support added at the perfect time This week sets the foundation for bud size, structure, and final yield. If stretch continues another 7–10 days, that’s completely normal for autos expressing hybrid vigor.

Days 78-84 - Been lax in updates, but I still log every week to completion. Back injury in addition to The Nineteen, Rona Style, has been a bit of a pain in the posterior. (That means ass) Plants are gigantic and sassy. Had Dangergirl come out and defoliate/lollipop the bottoms out of the girls, saving me painful labor and increasing my yields, so yay for her! Plants are happy, pompoms are getting thick, and everything looks good. Switched FF01 to flower on day 84.

Divine seeds to competition for this guy is over.. I'm sure it's not the best looking plant out of the couple hundred that have been grown but nonetheless I am happy with it .. good luck to everybody in the competition.. God bless and happy growing
