Strain: Chocolate Haze (Royal Queen Seeds)
Medium: Coco bricks (Action budget bricks โ hell yeah ๐ฐ)
Light cycle: 12/12 from seed
Grow Style: No training, no stress โ just flow
Grow Medium Prep: 500L of coco โ never again in one go ๐
The Kickoff ๐
This run started off wild and direct โ no veg time, straight into 12/12 with Chocolate Haze. I wanted a quick turnaround and thought, hey, why wait?
I germinated 14 seeds, hoping for at least 9 strong ladies. Ended up with 11 survivors โ not bad! First few weeks were a bit chaotic: stretching due to low light (I tucked the seedlings under mature plants, which I do not recommend ๐), and the coco prep took way longer than expected. But hey, that's the game.
Early Veg/Bloom โ Lessons Learned
pH: Started a bit high; some light green leaves at first
EC: Too low at 1.3 โ they weren't having it. Upped to 1.7 and then to 2.1 later
Environment: New extractor dropped temps way down (25ยฐC vs my usual 30ยฐC). Thought it would help, but growth felt slower
Coco quirks: They looked overwatered at times, but coco is tricky like that. Eventually, roots hit the bottom and they took off
Around mid-March (3 weeks in), pistils showed up โ officially the start of flower. I topped them once just before full bloom kicked in. Always a strange move, cutting healthy plants... but they bounced back beautifully. Nice and bushy now.
Week 2โ5 Flowering ๐ธ
These ladies are small but mighty. Not tall, but full of energy. The canopy is tight and even (except for one shorty), and they've been stretching like crazy โ classic sativa move. Had to raise the lights twice in two days. Iโll probably do some defoliation soon to slow things down a bit.
Environment is now dialed in:
Temp: 30ยฐC with lights on
RH: Holding nicely in that humid sweet spot
COโ: Set to 500ppm (passive mostly, no full-on enrichment)
Feeding is now solid, color has recovered beautifully, and the buds are starting to form nice stacks. Iโve kept it low-stress โ no nets, no heavy training, just letting them do their thing.
Observations & Setup Tweaks ๐ง
Ventilation: Running the fan at just 30% now. Tent takes 18 seconds to vacuum seal, which tells me airflow is minimal โ less COโ loss.
COโ System: Minimal usage at 500 ppm. Iโm not going all-out with gas bottles; itโs just there as a buffer.
Structure: These Chocolate Haze plants donโt get tall, but they do fill out nicely. Perfect for a space where height is limited.
Auto side note: One of the autos in the same tent is way taller, but less dense. Makes me appreciate the Chocolate Haze structure even more.
Current Status (April 17) ๐
Weโre deep into flower now โ week 5, and it shows. Buds are swelling and resin production is kicking in. Nothing major to report (which is kind of the point of this grow โ set and forget). Just a slight dry issue with one auto, which I adjusted on the Blumats.
Besides that? Happy plants, happy grower. ๐
Check the latest pics โ they speak for themselves.
Final Thoughts (So Far) ๐ญ
This Chocolate Haze grow has been chill, efficient, and surprisingly hands-off. The direct 12/12 schedule really works when you're going for a fast cycle with minimal hassle. And even though Iโm usually more into hybrids, this sativa-dominant lady is winning me over โ the structure, the vigor, the smellโฆ mmm.
Now we wait for the real magic โ the last few weeks of flower. Trichomes incoming. ๐ซโจ
Stay tuned for harvest updates โ itโs gonna be sweet.
Feel free to drop any questions or thoughts. Always happy to share the love for the plant. ๐
Peace

Great grow!! Should end up with over a half a pound off of these 2 and the little I harvested about 2 weeks ago. I got 2 oounces dry off of her. They smell amazing and are covered with trichomes

This week all 3 Pheno continue to stretch, which likely will continue through end next week (week 4 flower). Fed girls Recharge prior to defoliation at the end of week. Day and night tent temperatures were constantly between 78F and 65F degrees. Relative humidity a consistent 55%. Using an online calculator found VPD range from day 1.48 (kPa) to 0.95 (kPa) at night. About as closed to optimum as one can get given existing equipment/tools and recent substantial rain in the SoCal region. Due for watering tomorrow, so prior to, I will top dress with worm castings, compost, and Langbeinite 0-0-22. I believe this should carry the 3 through to harvest. Breeder flower time listed is between 56 and 70 days. We are at day 20 flower as of today.

๐ฑ boy are we ever starting to stretch...too much in fact, im not liking the node spacing with this strain (far too wide)..we lowered both lights in the tent to get this to stop (we never need to do this) and turned up the fans to really beat on these for a few days..hopefully this will strengthen them up and we can avoid steaking them...we'll update again midweek, thanks for reading and happy growing everyone!!

We seem to have gotten the stretch under control, lowering the lights really seemed to have helped (or she's finished lol), the fans have gotten them pretty strong in the last few days, everything is lookinng great..a few leaves with mechanical/ wind dammage but nothing too majior and the high wind has been benificial... this is a very lengthy strain, had i known i would of done a few things differently with the others but still very happy overall..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy growing everyone!! ๐ป

Flowering day 49
since time change
to 12 / 12 h
Hey guys :-)
All ladies look very healthy and delicious :-)
We're slowly getting closer to the end.
Watering was done twice this week, each time with 1.2 l (sewing materials see table above)
At the next watering there is a very light rinse with Clean Fruits so that the last nutrients can be slowly used up.
The trichomes are now checked every day.
I'm looking for my microscope with an app so I can take pictures of it ๐.
I wish you a lot of fun with the update and stay healthy ๐๐๐ป

So, this week pretty much just buds fattening. I think there is a problem developing with either pH or phosphorus deficiency. Got a pH test pen on the way so should find out what's going on soon. Leaves staring to look a bit off, but bud growth is solid.
Tested pH and it looks good at 6.9 so I'm gonna increase bloom nutes cos it could be phosphorus or magnesium.

108 giorni dal seme alla raccolta
65 giorni in totale di fioritura
Finita la corsa di questa Wedding Cheesecake, la prima pianta raccolta circa10 giorni fa, la seconda e piรน grande delle 2 raccolta con quasi 10 settimane di fioritura.
Ha risposto benissimo all Lst, ha sviluppato una folta chioma di rami laterali. Le cime sono lunghe, dense e pesanti, buona copertura di tricomi, il profumo e acidulo, sa di limone e pompelmo metallico, dopo una buona cura in barattolo aggioenerรฒ sul sapore e sul profumo di ๐๐

(currently.lights off in video and picture of this week)
I really couldnt help myself.
After checking up online and researching a few auto grows, i decided to heavily defoliate, clean legs and pinch off larf, cleaned up middle canopy also.
I partially did this because i kinda of would like the height too stunt plus have buds that wont just be thrown in the bubble wash.
I was forced also to pull down the main stem because of the height of my veg tent.
The pin down has been recently taken off, but will be applied of needed again!
Im also guessing the leaves have heavily clawed from the stress, after the defol, i wreckon i shouldnt have watered so hard... My bad

Die letzten Wochen vor der Ernte waren echt noch ein auf und ab der Gefรผhle. Das Wetter, sehr feucht und kalt, hat es mir leider echt schwer gemacht. Budrod in einer Cola der Pineapple Express ๐ฎโ๐จ Die Cola stand deutlich im Windschatten, deshalb hoffe ich, dass sich der Pilz nur in dem Mikroklima ausbreiten konnten, die Sporen sind aber leider รผberall. Jetzt hรคngt alles zum trocknen und ich muss die Buds genau untersuchen, spรคter bei trimmen werde ich ganz genau jeden Bud mir von Innen anschauen. Auรerdem ist mir die Lemon Orange deutlich abgekackt. Die krasse Geldfรคrbung kam innerhalb von zwei Tagen. Ich glaube es hat mit einer trockenen Phase mit hรคngenden Blรคttern kurz zuvor zutun, in der ich 1-2 Tage zu spรคt gegossen habe. Hat das Bodenleben wohl garnicht verkraftet und ist gekippt. Trotzdem hat sie einen echt intensiven sรผรlich Zitronenduft. Klein aber fein wรผrd ich zu meinen Buds sagen.
Update nach dem ersten Tasting. Mein absoluter Favorit aus dem Grow. Geschmacklich sanft wie der Duft, liegt mir total. Werde sie aufjedenfall wieder growen.

As a nube, I'm not 100% sure that flowering has begun, but noticed an increased amount of new growth where the flowers should start to appear. So, on day 46, I began to transition over to the Flowering Stage.
LIGHT CYCLE: Switched from 18/6 to 12/12. But, to minimize interruptions to the dark periods, I adjusted the start time from 5am-10pm (Ugh, just realized that's only 17, not 18 hours). The new schedule is now 6am to 6pm.
LIGHT: For this week, to encourage both growth and flowering, I've switched on the Red LEDs in combination with the Blue LEDs. However, I raised the light up about 4 inches to try and avoid light burn.
WATER/NUTRIENTS: I'm still watering with the remaining NPK mixture, but only about a cup per day.

๐ฑ Sticky Broccoli โ Grow Diary ๐ฑ
Week 6 | Vegetative Stage | Coco + Perlite
This week Sticky Broccoli was successfully transplanted into a larger pot ?
The root system had filled the previous container, making it the right time to upsize.
Transplant went smoothly with minimal disturbance to the root ball.
Fresh coco + perlite medium added to allow continued root expansion ๐ฑ
Plant remains healthy with strong green foliage ๐ฟ
No visible transplant shock so far.
Watered lightly after transplant to help settle the medium ๐ง
Environment kept stable to reduce stress.
Canopy continues to develop with strong branching.
Stem structure remains thick and supportive ๐ช
Next step will be topping the plant to promote additional main colas โ๏ธ
A SCROG net will also be installed soon to begin spreading the canopy evenly ๐
๐ Focus moving forward: allow roots to establish in the new pot, then begin topping and SCROG training for optimal canopy control ๐

A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth.
It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did.
The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow.
I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet.
On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing
and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

Week 6 for Black Lebanon by SSSC,
Like i mentioned on the previous Sunday update, she was transplanted a day after the post. I was planning on not giving water for the first week to let the roots do some growing.... the rain gods had a different plan ๐ Its been storming rain ever since day after transplant now 5 days i think ๐๐ So that didn't go to plan but hoping no rain next week fingers crossed.
I also think i topped her again some point last week. Cant wait for her roots to get moving in the new home.
