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.

week intel: it was the time to prune the cover crops this week i chopped them - no problem all good stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 707 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 275 ppm - 0.57 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with normal dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.42 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : autos do so so so much better with 20 hours light per day pls dont run autos near femenized 1 of them must get sacrificed

Dosido was a fun plant to grow. Short stock indica dominant plant. It finished in late September and was susceptible to mold and bud rot. Lost a number of colas to rot, approximately 100gs dry. Very potent strain with unique terp profile. I did get a few seeds in it. I didn't spot any naner but I have germinated a few of the seeds, all female so I am assuming it self pollinated. I would recommend growing this strain but be extra cautious outdoors.

Bil ole chunky buds on this lady! Maybe 2-3 more weeks! Sticky sweet buds are coming along nicely! ✌️🏻💚

Day 24-31 (Day 25) The smell in here is absolutely ridiculous. My last grow didn’t smell even close to this bad in early flower. (Day 27) Stretch is finally all done. #6 in the back is very stout and barely stretched compared to everything else. I doubt it will yield much but I’m excited to see the nice tight colas on it. It seems to be still getting adequate light and raising it up is hard to do with a scrog net so I will just leave it. If it wasn’t getting enough light it would be stretching right? The early frost is really shocking to me. My last indoor round definitely wasn’t this caked and I’ve never had an outdoor plant on this level either. That’s also true in terms of smell too. (Day 29) I’m still debating whether I should feed anything in flower or just leave it. The only deficiency I’m seeing is purple stems from P def which could actually just be from light intensity rather than a lack of P. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided to only feed my small plant. What I’m most curious about is if a PK boost will actually make any kind of a difference in flower when it comes to bud size and smokability. So to test this theory I will be top dressing a teaspoon of 0-18-0 bat guano, a tablespoon of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and a half strength watering of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m trying to avoid N all together as I just toxed my guinea pig plants with another experimental flowering PK boost that had a very small amount of N in it. This plant in particular actually has very early signs of N def and probably will fade harder than the rest. (Day 31) Shit. Looks like #1 is starting to herm. It’s definitely not environment or light leaks so maybe it’s just genetic or the recent leaching stressed it out too much. Either way, it’s only a single lower branch and I’m prepared to cut her down if I start seeing anymore. I double checked every other budsite but couldn’t find anymore. In my experience true herms usually start pushing bananas out of the main tops and plants like mine can usually be salvaged with little to no seeded bud. But then again it’s day 31, when these things usually start to happen. I’m 50/50 on this one. I will be watching it everyday like a hawk if anymore show up. The breeder I’m using, ‘Jordan of the Island’s’ is notorious for having unstable genetics and this will be the last time I run any of his stuff. The quality is good, certainly better than most European and Dutch genetics I’ve run but I know I could do better where genetics are concerned. I can’t wait to start hunting my archive dosidos x gelato 41 and in house sugarcane.

Lights 40% Feed Listed above then PH/EC adjusted D7 So the girls looks healthy they should blow up after the next feeding. Should be able to shed it's travel scars soon. D11 starting to pick up the pace 😁

Pou l'instant le stretch se passe bien les filles ont l'air d'apprécié leurs lieu de vie on peux voir qu'il y'a des petites tetouilles qui arrivent . A part une qu continue a pas etre trop bien mais je trouve pas pk.

the first two weeks were rather cloudy and cold. now the sun starts to shine all day and i have around 25-30 degrees in the greenhouse. when the sun shines all day, the plants have 8 hours direkt sunshine and 6- 7 hours of normal daylight.

explosive growth since they are under the sanlight. both looking good so far. It is a pretty stretchy plant compared to the other 4 strains in the tent. Both look very simular.

She is getting the final bulk now and soon i will shop her down sbout 5 days left :D

day 26 flower and she has no visible signs of stress, smells very sweet and slightly fruity

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

Week 3 veg

starting off week 2 with a res change, had my ppm in the 500 if she struggles ill bring her back down..... roots are coming along nicely was starting to get root rot due too my temps sky rocketing and having too much water in my res.... roots seem to be coming good after lowering water level high ppm seem to be not a problem.. started folding leaves to expose lower nodes.. think i will top at end of week 3

Growing good. But I can not stand a strain that foxtails, to me it's just ugly. And these are deffently starting to foxtail. But otherwise it's a gorgeous plant. Hopefully the smoke quality will make up for it. It won't be much longer untill chop day. Thanks for checking out my grow .

Buenas, como podéis ver han pegado un buen tirón, después de hacer las fotos tuve que volver a realizar poda de bajos, sacando unas ramas bastante grandes, las cuales voy a clonar y etiquetar por si sale algo que merezca conservarse. ya están mostrando preflores, aunque lleven 4 semanas a 12 /12 es como si fuese la 1ª en ejemplares de marihuana indica, sigo con una EC de 1.2 hasta que empieze a ver flores, donde iré subiendo poco a poco con cuidado pues es la primera vez que planto sativas y no quiero sobre abonarlas, hago un riego con abono y otro con agua de ósmosis corrigiendo hasta alcanzar una EC de 0.4, mido el agua que drena de las macetas tanto el PH como la EC para controlar que no alla carencias o excesos de nutrientes. Realizaré una limpieza del armario y pulverizare las plantas con Leaf Coat para prevenir, van como un tiro a ver que tal siguen, Buenos Humos!!!😃

It was also the last week for Bubblegum, who had some problems at the beginning and therefore took longer than the others. At the beginning of the week, she was given a thorough flush, then left to dry, and at the end of the week, she was given the usual two days of darkness. Despite the difficulties at the start, it was a very good result.

Diese Woche präsentiert sich die Blue Lobster von Cipher Genetics als richtig dicker, fetter Busch und zeigt eine beeindruckende Vitalität. Die Erholungsphase nach den intensiven Trainingsmaßnahmen verläuft optimal, und die Pflanze nutzt die verbleibende Vegetationszeit, um ordentlich Biomasse aufzubauen. Man sieht deutlich, wie dicht die Triebstruktur inzwischen ist und wie kraftvoll die Lady die neuen Segel nach oben schiebt. Bevor es in ein bis zwei Wochen in die lang ersehnte Blütephase geht, steht noch eine finale Entlaubungsaktion untenrum an, um die Energie gezielt in die Top-Buds zu lenken. Die Basis für eine fette Performance ist definitiv gelegt.
