Has been a bad week for Gorilla Cookies. After further inspection I have discovered russet mites. I treated her with neem for 4 days. I then rinsed it off yesterday. I proceeded to lollipop the plant as well. Hopefully I have killed off the mites.

🥦Flowering Week 3 Structural Finalization & Early Bud Stacking Eternity Grow Cup 2026 Sticky Broccoli Feminized Stage: Flowering Phase Week 3 Day: ~23 since 12/12 switch 🌡️ Environmental Stability Environmental conditions remained highly stable, allowing the plants to fully transition from stretch into early bud development. -Temperature: ~26°C -Humidity: optimized for early flowering -Light: full intensity (720W) -Airflow: strong and consistent 🌿 Plant Development / End of Stretch The plants are now approaching the end of the stretch phase, with energy shifting into bud formation. Observations: -Vertical growth slowing down -Strong development of upper canopy bud sites -Uniform structure across all four plants -Healthy, vibrant green coloration -Bud sites across the SCROG are now clearly defined and actively developing. ✂️ Final Lollipopping & Defoliation At the beginning of the week, lollipopping was completed, largely up to the SCROG net. Objectives: -Eliminate lower, non productive growth -Redirect energy to top canopy buds -Improve airflow and light efficiency Additionally: -One structured defoliation session -Ongoing removal of individual shading leaves Plant response: No signs of stress were observed. Recovery was immediate, confirming strong plant vitality. 🌸 Bud Development & Early Stacking Following canopy optimization, the plants began to show clear early bud stacking behavior: -Formation of dense bud clusters in the upper SCROG layer -Vertical stacking of flower sites -Improved bud alignment and structure While full swelling has not yet begun, the response to training and pruning is clearly visible. 🍵 Nutrient Strategy / Early Green Sensation Introduction Feeding continued using the Hy-Pro nutrient line (excluding Spraymix), with a key strategic addition: Plagron Green Sensation introduced early at 1 ml/L This was applied one week earlier than manufacturer recommendations to: -Enhance early flower development -Support metabolic activity during transition -Prepare for upcoming bud swelling phase Plant response: Excellent , no signs of overfeeding, deficiency, or stress. The plants remain in perfect health. 🌱Strain Observation Sticky Broccoli Sticky Broccoli continues to impress with: -Exceptional genetic stability (all four phenotypes highly uniform) -Strong resilience to stress and training -Efficient nutrient uptake even under shared root space (4 plants / 30L soil) -Balanced and symmetrical canopy development The consistency across all plants highlights the quality and stability of the genetics. 🧠 Weekly Reflection & Forward Plan Focus this week: Final structural optimization and transition into early bud stacking. All interventions were executed successfully, with the plants responding vigorously and without stress. Next steps: -Monitor onset of bud swelling -Continue evaluating response to Green Sensation -Maintain optimal canopy conditions -Transition fully into Main density and resin production phase 📸 Weekly Summary Flowering Week 3 marks the end of structural work and the beginning of true flower production. With lollipopping completed, canopy optimized, and early bud stacking visible, the plants are now entering the most critical phase of the cycle. The early introduction of Green Sensation, combined with strong plant health and genetic uniformity, sets the stage for a high-performance flowering phase. See you in Flower Week 4 Bud Development Intensifies 🌸✨

We just pushed through another absolute beast of a week, and the first half of it was pure survival mode. The temperatures peaked at a jaw-dropping 39°C, and even the nights offered zero relief, staying at a sticky 26°C minimum. It’s been an intense endurance test for an outdoor grow! The Daily Hydration & Feeding Strategy: 💧 To keep them from turning into crisp, dry twigs, I had to switch to a strict every-single-day watering schedule. Missing even one day in that kind of heat wave would have been catastrophic. Amazingly, the ladies are showing incredible resilience—they haven’t displayed any noticeable signs of distress or major issues so far. Development is moving along beautifully, though I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there won't be any delayed fallout from the extreme heat stress. Nutrient-wise I'm feeding them at about 75% of the recommended dosing plan to keep them happy without overdoing it in this heat. The Strain Breakdown: 🌿 Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto: This girl is absolutely crushing the game right now. She is already stacking up some seriously decent, chunky buds, and the aroma is getting beautifully pronounced and loud! Every breeze brings a sweet whiff of what's to come. 😉 Amnesia Haze Auto: She has turned into an absolute monster! She’s gotten incredibly big and wide, taking full advantage of her outdoor space. You can definitely see that Sativa heritage shining through—judging by her progress, she’s definitely going to take a bit longer to cross the finish line compared to the quicker, Indica-dominant ladies like the Lemon Cherry Cookies. Bruce Banner Auto & Banana Purple Punch Auto: These are the two shorter ladies of the group, but what they lack in raw height, they make up for in sheer health. Size aside, they are doing exceptionally well, looking super vibrant, healthy, and stacking their own flowers nicely. All in all, I’m incredibly proud of how these genetics are handling a brutal summer. Now that the worst of the heatwave seems to be behind us, I can’t wait to watch these buds really start to swell!

D64: Well, as I mentioned in yesterday´s report, she has some kind of deficiency I cannot tell why, so I presume it is salt buildup - which I can see from outside the pot a little more than usual - from the heavy feeding. So in that regard I flushed her and watered until it runs with 6.2 pH water. Did a little defoliation for the last time, from now on she won´t be getting anymore training nor defoliation. I expected her to be a little bigger by now but at least the seems like a fast runner and will probably finish on the estimated time by RQS of 10-11 weeks. D65: The deficiency don´t seem to have evolved. From day to night she developed some nice purple on the leaves! D66: The defiency seems to have stopped and she has a lot of dying leaves, I think it´s natural and not related to the deficiency. D69: She is getting ready.. the thricomes are looking overall about 60-70% cloudy with some clear and amber, some more days, maybe a week and she´s done. D70: Well, last day of the week and unfortunately last day of the life of this beautiful girl. I guess she had 1 or 2 more weeks still but today I woke up and she had mold – Botrytis -. It was on the low buds, closer to the ground even tho I didn´t even water, but the problem I found out later what it was: 88% humidity during the night. Now, I trimmed her all and put to dry, which will be a problem since the humidity outside is 90% and it doesn´t stop raining in this time of the year. Let´s see how things go... keep following for the harvest week and review in a few. Thank you very much for reading my diary. Peace ✌️

Got the 2 new LED’s set up from futur vert Flora nurse 85 watts each killer bars !! FSG spectrum perfect for seedlings too flower.. working on a sea of green one veg closet to a 4x8 flower tent

Im thinking in flip to flower tomorrow, what do you guys think about

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

Yes it's a very confusing diary, spent to long in Cloner, no where to put her , moved to veg tent in small pot & neglected, hand watered when I remembered.her & another clone brought back from the brink of death & put into DWC , around 9 weeks old but looked about 3 weeks. HST trained them for about 5 to 6 weeks in veg, moved to flowering tent, were 5 weeks into flower & both got root rot.The 2nd plant died saved this 1 by cutting away majority of roots. No point continuing to flower her as she would have greatly been affected, so put her back into veg, transplanted into recirculating hydro & been reveging for 7 weeks 46 days. Started getting new vegative growth over the last month.looking healthy & lush now, planned to put her back into flower with the new plants when they are ready to flower, hopefully she will be worth the effort & time when it comes to harvest, sh is around 24 weeks old!!!

​WEEK 12 - FLOWERING: Late Flowering Phase ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS We are in Week 12 (Week 8 of flowering). Environmental conditions are dialed in with a VPD of 1.71 kPa. The night temperatures are currently at 19.1°C. The plant is showing the first subtle signs of purple coloration on the buds. It maintains a compact stature with a visible resin coating on the main colas. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The aroma profile is shifting towards a heavy Berry-Gas. The initial sweet berry notes are now being joined by a distinct fuel-like scent. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING Feeding is at 1.67L using the full BioBizz schedule. Two more feedings are planned for this week before transitioning to plain water. ​Current Feeding Schedule: Calmag: 0.5 ml/l Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l Top-Max: 4 ml/l Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE 👀 "Week 12. Maintaining a stable VPD of 1.71 kPa. The plant is compact and focusing on resin production. We are starting to see some purple hues emerging. Following the schedule for the final weeks. Keep it IZI 💚

This lady was a little too tall for me to have her in the balcony so we're going mainlain this lady and let's see how many cola we can make from those little 2 main colas, can't risk to have a plant so tall in the balcony guys.

One of the two plants was harvested in the 10th week, the other will follow next week...It will probably also be 600-700 grams I think. Update will follow The buds are very firm and compact... im very Happy with my first grow... Dry Conditions: start with 60% RH and stayed at 50 - 60% the whole time, unfortunately I couldn't get temperatures below 20° degrees. During the day 21° and in the evening 18-20°, after 8 days I was able to start dry trimming... Update: 1. Plant 696 gr wet with leafs - 125g dry 2. Plant 770 gr wet with leafs - 150g dry Record bud is 85 gr wet. now i put the buds in Bottles to ferment at least 2 Weeks...

Starting to flower quite vigorously, The pro-silicate is definitely helping push and hold up much of the huge canopy, aswell as the Medi one ☝️ an amazing product!! All around can’t complain with this one.

July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

Comecei uma semana realizando o treinamento de baixo estresse e uma desfoliação. Não fiz poda top, não acho que seja adequado para plantas rápidas. Vamos ver como vai ser o resultado. Não pretendo mais fazer intervenções no crescimento. A pequena lá do fundo não vou mexer .

The Afghan is a show off. The buds so far are growing strong for 21 day’s of flowering. No worries with this strain as she takes defoliation very good.

So through the next week. End of this week we topped and from Pheno 1-4 here is how it went. 1) is the most vigorous(homie said might be male we will see) no stall on the topping. 2) 2nd strongest and is doing well i feel like this is the "control" of the group. Seems strong but not overly like 1. No stall topping. 3) one of 2 that had water and light stress with transplant but no stall on the topping and is doing very good. 4) she was the furthest behind and the topping gave her a couple hours of stress but that was a root issue but she literally popped back up hours later. Overall doing really well. Starting to worry though because these will eventually take up so much space. Good problem to have.

9/6 Week 8 And she is doing very well No signs of any problems nuets doing a great job Added another light, custom 90w LED Stretch is slowing 9/8 Buds beginning to form tent is VERY full doing what we can to alleviate some crowding 9/10 Pics Vid Looks like stretch has stopped more or less Stretch may have ended 9/9 Nah its aint ended was just teasing us Increased nuets due to purplish stems seen on the indicas. CocoTek to 10ml/gal A&B Just trying to get things to behave in the tent its really full humidity is very low so thats helping Took longer for things to get into full flower than we wanted, have to work on that. 9/10 Pics Vid Looks like stretch has stopped more or less lights did not need raising

Going to be a big weekend for the babies! Getting transplanted into 5 gals and getting the scrog put in! Getting ready for flower hopefully by next week! Also need to grab cuttings from each baby!

Looking good. A bit fuller. No major changes, slow and steady. I’ve been really excited to grow these ever since they arrived as freebies with one of my seedsman orders. One is getting big enough I might even add a few bendy things to open her up a bit more and hopefully add a few more bud sites over the next few weeks. 🌱 👊🏻
