3/16/2024 Day 56 from sprout 🌱 Interesting how different the buds are developing on these two gorilla cookies. G1 has smaller leafier buds but they are super frosty while G2 has bigger dense golf ball size nugs but not quite as frosty. They are drinking about 3/4 a gallon every 2-3 days and being fed once a week. I think these are going to take 11-12 weeks to finish, we'll see 😊 Thanks for dropping by and happy growing!

So this week I got the heat problem taken care of by insulated areas of the garage where air from the outside would leak through. Now that I have temps and humidity lockdown hopefully we can expect some tremendous growth

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

3/25/2023 Week 6- Day 1 of Veg (Day 52 overall) Added my first between changes SILICA Top offs. Was worried that when you add it to pre mixed Nutes that it can make the whole thing turn into a gummy looking substance. I was ready to drain the system and start it over for the week if needed, but no issues adding it to the tank. the Silica going into the Res didn't gummy the system up, it did drop my PH by quit a bit causing me to have to bring it back in balance. 36 Gallons in the Tank Silica Add .5mil/Gal = 18Mil I topped some that needed to be topped, I defoliated some that needs to be defoliated. Since I have moved into Week 6 I have increased the light intensity up to just over 500 maxing it out for Veg Cycle. Next increase will be Week 1 of Flower. 3/26/2023 Week 6- Day 2 of Veg (Day 53 overall) All conditions looked great. Other than me not putting one of the humidifiers back right which means it didn't work last night so Humidity was lower than I like. But got the Humidifier back on it's stand correctly and it is now pumping away. With that I decided to give the plants a day off from any stresses, no topping, no FIMing, no Defoliation for today. Just some good old soaking up the light rays and the ability to get all the Nutes they would like.. 3/27/2023 Week 6- Day 3 of Veg (Day 54 overall) Looking kind of Bushy today, so I defoliated some, and topped some. 3/28/2023 Week 6- Day 4 of Veg (Day 55 overall) PH was a little lower than I like 5.74 so I added a few Mil of PH UP and brought it back up to 5.94. Not much else at this stage, just I topped a little and I defoliated a little. 3/29/2023 Week 6- Day 5 of Veg (Day 56 overall) Topped a little, Defoliated a little Watched them grow!! 3/30/2023 Week 6- Day 6 of Veg (Day 57 Overall) Main action today was breaking down my old tent and setting up a new tent and getting my second RDWC system setup and ready for clones. I Topped a little, I Defoliated some and started taking a good look at what I would like to take for clones in the coming days. I have a few bottom branches that look every promising for my clone material on each. 3/31/2023 Week 6- Day 7 of Veg (Day 58 overall) #3 is at 16" Tall #2 is at 13" Tall

I started her directly in the soil of my Grow on the Go. I really didn't pay that much attention and once I cut the Lemon Cherry Cookies I just had the pot outdoors on Campground. Of course hiding a plant on Camp Grounds is not ideal conditions and the intension was to grow a plant outdoors while travelling.

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

Okay so I came up with this incredible method of training that I call "root lining".I figured this out years ago in outdoor season when a deer bulldozed through my med crop and knocked a sweet lady over, that started it all. The plant was completely parallel to the ground with roots growing out of the nodes where contact was made with the ground at the stock. Long story short she ended up being a 14 footer with 6 foot whale dicks! That gave me this little idea that's been non stop producing top quality fat resinous buds. This method increases nutrient uptake and makes a huge difference in quality and size. I essentially main line, really low to the ground, until the stock makes full contact with the ground. I then gently rub the downside of the stock with the back of a butter knife to speed things up and break down the chlorophyll layer. Then I add remo roots gel (see all videos). I then add a sprinkle of coco on top just to barely cover the stock (dont add to thick of a layer as this might "choke" and rot the stock) and mist that spot 2-3 times a day. 3 days later and boom! She'll be pumping out roots and go into full beast mode. Give it a try and you'll never go back!

Day 22: Hi all , hope we are all well. The Gluberry male has been banished now and wont be making another sneak attack ever again !. The remaining Glueberry ( #2) is now able to have her 1st gym session ( no social distancing or masks needed!). She has been bent over from her 4th node( no sniggering at the back !) so that her 5th(main) takes a horizontal path to the pots edges. The other growth below should form up similar to a quadline . Inwill allow it to go vertical when the flowering begins which should create 5 mains to develop into long chunky colas. Being an attempt to find my own best use of autos in this environment I use , is proving to be fun so far. Inhave other strains ( in my diaries here) that are being trained using this and other methods to again , see 1st hand what works for me. The Mimosa Lemon is doing really well too. she had her 1st session a few days ago and is responding perfectly so far. Both of these ladies are looking really healthy and green so far . I have not done a total soak of the medium yet and have been watering just outside of the plants leaf footprint. This is to encourage the rootball to set itself up for the flowering cycle and an important foundation for their overall possible yield. As above ,so below logic. lets see how they progress by the next update. be well and safe. welcome to the age of Aquarius. The feminine cycles turn !.

Juhu,es geht endlich los! Unser eingesetzter Sticky Broccoli Automatic-Samen ist erfolgreich gekeimt. Gleich zu Beginn hieß es kurz die Luft anhalten, als sich der zarte Keimling mühsam durch die Erdoberfläche geschoben hat. Mit etwas Fingerspitzengefühl und ein wenig Wasser, um die Samenschale aufzuweichen, konnten wir diese vorsichtig von der Spitze der Keimblätter lösen. Schon zwei Tage später war von den anfänglichen Startschwierigkeiten nichts mehr zu erkennen. Wir sind besonders gespannt darauf, erstmals mit Green Sensation von Plagron zu arbeiten und zu sehen, wie sich unser Broccoli damit entwickelt. Wir freuen uns sehr, beim Eternity Grow Cup 2026 dabei zu sein, möchten viel dazulernen und hoffen auf einen regen Austausch mit der Community. Ein großes Dankeschön geht an Plagron und Zamnesia für das kostenlose Starterset,lasst die Spiele beginnen!

Plants Flipped to flower on a 12/12 light schedule. EC dropped slightly to try and reduce any major stretch. These plants should have been lollipoped last week before putting them into a scrog but unfortunately I was unable to, so I have to remove the Scrog to make it easy to lollipop and then place them back into a Scrog once lollipoped. When the Scrog was placed back on it was more for support as I'd already built the structure of the plant the prior weeks. Although a few lanky branches did get bended back over. Another Scrog layer will probably added later in flower for further support when buds start forming.
