Beautiful autoflowering strain, she had developed a very fat single main cola, very sticky and heavy.

Hola a todo el mundo!!!🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️😀😀. Esta semana anduve muy atareado y solo he regado con agua . Nada de nutrientes, y se ve a esta planta creciendo de forma saludable. La próxima semana me pondré más al día con todo🙏😁

I had to succumb to the Apricot Auto,,dwarfing on me,,due to me probably being a bit heavy handed earlier on and snapping her leader,,,which caused her to dwarf and flower way too early,,,so she went outside

Pues al final… algunas engordaron mas que otras, ya no las queda mucho tiempo…

hello it's been there for 3 days I rinsed my plants my BSB are very strong with a monstrous THC that I tested on a sample during a smoking session I feel the end of flowering slowly approaching I am happy to grow everyone

Thrips infection might prevent these lovely flowers from showing their full potential... Will start flushing passively the coming week. Will switch to 11/13 the coming week. There are two distinct phenotypes in terms of flowering time visible as the pics show.

Plucked a few more leaves but other than that just feed them this week including bloom. Also gave them some rice starch (from boiled rice water collection) on day 42 as a boost for the microbes 👍 Turned the IR off now and turned up to 34000lux

So this is purple punch from #fastbuds. I started a very early batch for outdoors to see if anything managed to survive to extend/add the outdoor growing cycle, out of 4 seeds only this purple punch managed to survive 3° nights during veg🤗 as small as she is she has a very nice structure and expresses great purple colour on both the leavestems as the buds. Harvesting in may is definetely my earliest ever outdoors

Day 70 Looks like its doing well for being a photo period. this is my first one.

Primera ves cultivando una cepa de esta calidad, algo ansioso por obtener los mejores resultados posibles con estás genéticas. Básicamente elegí la Grandpa's Stach R2 y la Grandpa's Cookies #6 S1 solo por sus tiempos de floración, espero que sean buenas tanto de sabor y resina, cómo también de producción. G1, brotaron las semillas, solo 1 semilla brotó chueca, por lo que tuve que ayudarla con un alambre y va un poco atrasada en comparación del resto. G3, primer riego con pH 6.1 y EC 0.6, y micorrizas Great White. G5, creciendo bien. G11, riegos cada 2 o 3 días, a punto de pasar a etapa vegetativa.

She has become a beautiful little bush full of fat dense nuggets completely covered in fruity and sweet resin glands with some purple no tones in the buds. Love It!

Buenas en esta la primera semana desde su germinación las vemos estupendamente, hemos pasado a abonar desde la primera semana con Power rotts para empezar hacer un sistema radicular muy bueno

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 6 From Seed 12/12 From Seed · Transition Into Flower ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — From Seed to Now Skywalker OG has been grown 12/12 from seed from day one. No veg phase, no forced speed — just letting the plant express itself naturally while guiding structure gently. From early life, our approach has been: • Leaf bending instead of topping • Minimal stress, frequent observation • No rush — letting the plant tell us when it’s ready Up until now, all work has focused on: • Building a strong, open frame • Keeping internodes exposed to light • Preparing the plant for flower without shocking it Week 6 from seed marks an important moment: 👉 The transition into flower structure, even if pistils are only just starting to show. This week is less about growth speed — and more about setting the stage. ⸻ ✂️ Canopy Work & Plant Training (This Week) This week we went a little harder than usual, on purpose. What We Did • Continued leaf bending, but with more intention • Light lollipopping of the lower, shaded growth • Selective defoliation (not a strip-down, not a clean shave) • Introduced plastic clamps to guide branches outward Why We Did It Leaf removal • Improves airflow inside the plant • Reduces humidity pockets • Helps light reach meaningful flower sites • Removes leaves that were blocking, not contributing Lollipopping (light) • Cleans up growth that would never reach the canopy • Helps the plant redirect energy upward • Makes future watering and airflow cleaner Clamps & bending • Opens the plant instead of stacking it • Creates multiple dominant tops • Avoids cutting or topping stress • Allows gradual correction instead of forcing angles We don’t see this as “defoliation” in the aggressive sense. We see it as guidance and clarification. Nothing here is done in one session or out of frustration. Everything is done slowly, plant by plant, read by feel. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% • PPFD: ~600–850 (based on plant height and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm As outside temperatures remain cooler, the room itself has naturally become its own heat source: • More plant mass • Higher light intensity • Under-canopy lighting added This allowed us to stabilize the environment without forcing heaters or extremes, which is exactly how we like to work. Airflow • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy No leaf flutter chaos — just steady motion. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks a clear nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 (transitioning to 6.0+ from now on) From this point forward: 👉 All feedings will be pH 6.0 and above Why Higher pH Now? As plants enter flowering, their nutrient priorities shift. A slightly higher pH improves availability of key elements needed for: • Flower initiation • Structural development • Energy transfer Nutrient Changes • ✅ Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L • ❌ Removed: Terra Grow Simple, clean transition — no stacking, no panic feeding. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Stretch continuation • Tops adjusting to new light exposure • Faster response at exposed nodes • More visible flower initiation Do NOT expect: • Immediate bud stacking • Explosive flower size • Perfect symmetry overnight This week is about positioning, not payoff. The work done now decides how easy (or hard) the next 4–6 weeks will be. ⸻ 🧠 Final Notes This is our way of reading the garden. It’s our humble opinion, shaped by experience, observation, and patience. Everyone is encouraged to: • Try this technique • Try other techniques • Combine techniques • Or do the exact opposite Plants are teachers — not rules. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You Big thanks to: • Grow Diaries for the platform • Our sponsors and supporters • The OGs who’ve been here since day one • The new faces joining the journey • The lovers • The haters (they keep things interesting 😄) And most of all — the community that keeps learning together.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Lots of growth over the last week. She's doubled in overall size. Hope she'll start flowering very soon. Can't see any pistils yet though. The colas are bulking out and there seems to be plenty of possible bud sites. I'll be keeping a very close eye on her this week and keeping fingers crossed for pistil growth. Little sister is aiming for the stars. She is very tall now in comparison (35cm vs 22cm) and is starting to fill out with foliage.

📋 Die Strawberry Banana von Fastbuds befindet sich jetzt in der dritten Woche der Vegetation, insgesamt stecken wir in der vierten Woche seit dem Keimen. Die Pflanze hat die anfängliche Startphase hinter sich gelassen und bildet jetzt ein stabiles Wurzelwerk aus. Das Blattwerk sieht gesund aus, die internodalen Abstände sind kurz und gedrungen, was auf ein gutes Lichtmanagement hindeutet. 📏 Die aktuelle Höhe liegt bei 12 cm. Die Umgebungswerte haben sich bei einer Durchschnittstemperatur von 27 Grad und einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 58 Prozent eingependelt. Das ist ein solider Korridor für dieses Stadium, in dem die Pflanze ihre Stoffwechselprozesse langsam hochfährt. 💧 Die Wassertemperatur lag im Schnitt bei 21 Grad, was ideal ist, um den Wurzeln keinen Kälteschock zu verpassen und die Sauerstoffaufnahme im Substrat zu begünstigen. Die Pflanze zeigt sich durstig, aber nicht übermäßig, was zeigt, dass der aktuelle Gießrhythmus gut auf das Substrat und das Wurzelvolumen abgestimmt ist. 📸 Beobachtung für die kommende Zeit: Die Strawberry Banana beginnt jetzt zusehends mit der Seitentriebbildung. Wenn das Wachstum in diesem Tempo weitergeht, werde ich in der nächsten Woche über erstes sanftes Training nachdenken, um das Licht besser in die unteren Bereiche zu leiten. Die Vitalität ist absolut in Ordnung, keine Anzeichen von Mängeln oder Stress. Läuft nach Plan.

🥦Flowering Week 2 Stretch Control & Bud Site Activation Eternity Grow Cup 2026 Sticky Broccoli Feminized Stage:Flowering Phase Week 2 Day: ~16 since 12/12 switch 🌡️ Environmental Stability The environment remained stable throughout the second flowering week, allowing uninterrupted progression through the stretch phase. -Temperature: ~26°C -Humidity: adjusted to support early flower development -Light: running at full intensity (720W) -Airflow: consistent, supporting dense canopy conditions 🌿 Plant Development & Stretch Progress During this week, the plant continued its final stretch phase, showing strong vertical and lateral development. -Uniform stretch across the canopy -Strong upward movement of bud sites -Noticeable development even in lower branches -Well structured and evenly distributed canopy ✂️ Defoliation & Light Optimization Two strategic defoliation sessions were performed during the week. -Improve light penetration to all bud sites -Increase airflow within the canopy -Support uniform bud development Following defoliation, the plant responded with enhanced growth activity, particularly in previously shaded areas. 🍭 Controlled Lollipopping A light lollipopping session was carried out in the lower section of the plant. -Only minimal removal to avoid excessive stress -Combined carefully with defoliation -Focus on redirecting energy toward productive bud sites The majority of the lollipopping up to the SCROG level is planned for Flower Week 3, allowing a staged and controlled approach. 🍵 Irrigation & Feeding The plant continues to show strong nutrient uptake and hydration balance, supporting ongoing stretch and bud formation -Watering frequency: every 2 days -Volume: ~9L per watering -Nutrient program: Hy-Pro feeding schedule (excluding Spraymix this week) 🌱Strain Observation Sticky Broccoli -Excellent stretch utilization -Strong bud site activation across the canopy -Good tolerance to combined defoliation and lollipopping -Balanced growth structure under high light intensity 📸 Weekly Summary Flowering Week 2 was a highly productive transition phase, where stretch was successfully managed and bud sites were activated across the entire canopy. With strategic defoliation and controlled lollipopping, the plant is now well prepared to shift focus into bud stacking and density development. The structure is set ,now the real flowering performance begins. See you in Flower Week 3 🌸✨

At the start of my first proper week of growth she seemed to be doing really well. I noticed her stretching quite a bit, so I moved to the light a bit closer. This seems to have done the trick. Thanks to everyone on Grow Diaries who answered my question about burying some of the stem when transplanting. I decided to move to a slightly bigger pot (from 1litre to 3.8 litres) so that I could bury some of her stretchyness. This was based on advice from you guys - so thank you! She seems to have taken to the transplant well. I made sure the EC and PH of both mediums were very close.
