Sticky Broccoli Auto – Harvest Update Strain: Sticky Broccoli Auto Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Grower: Little Lilly Farms Overall Outcome This run didn’t hit the mark. The genetics felt unstable and inconsistent across all four plants—each one expressed very differently in structure, growth, and final bud development. Bud quality leaned airy and loose, lacking density, but was heavily coated in resin and trichomes. Visually appealing frost, but the overall structure didn’t back it up. Terpene profile was underwhelming—nothing loud or complex. Mostly a sweet gas aroma, but lacking depth and punch. ⸻ Harvest & Final Week Timeline 4/1 Fed one plant ½ gallon of previous nutrient mix. Very minimal runoff. 4/2 * 1 gallon of premade feed (from 3/31) used * Small runoff achieved * Other 2 plants received straight RO water (not pH’d) * No noticeable change in color or fade on water-only plants 4/3 ¼ gallon of premade feed mix applied 4/4 – Harvest Begins * Cut down 2 plants * Fit both into the Cannatrol for drying * Buds extremely resinous and sticky * Heavy trichome coverage across both plants * Switched remaining plants to straight RO water moving forward Final Feed Mix (per gallon): * 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom * 2 ml MagCal * 4 ml Green Sensation * 2 ml Cocos A * 8 ml Cocos B * 4 ml Pure Zym 4/6 * Purple coloration showing on sugar leaf edges * ¾ gallon RO water (not pH’d) * ~5% runoff 4/7 * ¾ gallon RO water * Minimal runoff 4/8 * 1 gallon RO water * ~15% runoff 4/9 * ¾ gallon RO water * ~20% runoff 4/10 * 1 gallon RO water * ~15% runoff ⸻ Drying & Cure All 4 plants have been harvested, dried, and are currently being trimmed. Final weight will be recorded once trimming is complete. ⸻ Final Thoughts * Pros: * Extremely resinous buds * Heavy trichome production * Good visual frost * Cons: * Airy, low-density buds * Weak terpene expression * Highly inconsistent phenotypes across all plants Overall, this run felt like a genetic gamble that didn’t fully pay off. While the resin production was impressive, the lack of density and terp complexity made this one fall short of expectations.

Gold sativa started fox tailing, as did a lot of the room. I switched her to water, and will be harvesting in about a week time. She does have frosty trichromes. Just my area got too warm with summer days. Light also bigger then extraction can handle. Gonna try to update that when grow ends to a bigger inline fan. She grew well under the Spider Farmer SE5000 light in the New Level Hydro buckets. Next update will be harvest.

Starting Week 10, which marks the beginning of the 7th week of flowering. The buds are stacking nicely and the trichome production is ramping up. Tomorrow, I’m planning a defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. I’ll also be tucking and organizing the canopy to keep everything tucked neatly within the 70x70 space.

Day 84-91 (Day 3F-10F) (Day 6F) I’m giving a final foliar spray of Velokelp tonight before I start to see buds develop. Forgot to water today as I didn’t have any RO and bbb#1 was slumped and droopy. I decided to just water everything with tap water. I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on using city tap water with organics and it shouldn’t disturb the microbiology very much at all. And it will actually help smokability and ash color because of the extra CaCO3 in it. The higher 7.8 pH will also lockout heavy metals like aluminum as well. (Day 7F) Plants look just fine and the pH fluctuation didn’t make any difference at all. I’m going to discontinue the use of RO water for the rest of my run and all subsequent runs. (Day 8F) I’m defoliating small amounts of leaves and sucker branches but this thing is out of control. Every 12-18 hours I see noticeable growth. I want to do a heavy strip around day 21. Starting to see budlets and pistil clumps form! These plants don’t seem like huge stretchers but I’m still anticipating quite a jump in the next few weeks. (Day 10F) Everything is looking just perfect. I’m surprised how fast these 10 gallon pots are drying out now. They go from soaked to light and airy within a few days. Hopefully I can make it the next 2 weeks without seeing any N or Mg deficiencies.

Day 71 – Weathering the Storms, Rooted in Resilience. This past week was a true test of strength. My lady was caught in a full-on storm – strong winds, pouring rain, and yes… she even tipped over. But like a true warrior, she bounced right back once I repositioned her in a more stable spot. Despite the harsh gusts, she remained under open skies, unfazed and proud. Now standing firm at 80cm, she continues to push into flowering with grace. The Plagron Bat Guano applied 10 days ago clearly kicked things into motion, as the buds are swelling up nicely. Seeing that, I didn’t hesitate to apply another round of top-dress today – just enough to maintain steady phosphorus levels and support those forming colas without overfeeding. My approach hasn’t changed: a low-effort, fully organic outdoor grow that relies on nature as the main partner. Pure, pH-balanced tap water (oxygenated, of course) and a living super soil continue to do the heavy lifting. No tents, no fancy equipment, no synthetic nutrients – just soil, sun, and patience. This FastBuds CBD strain continues to impress not just with structure and health, but with its incredible resilience. Even after tipping and being battered by the elements, she’s standing tall and happy. Every day closer to harvest makes this journey more rewarding – and I can’t wait to craft some beautiful CBD oil from this natural survivor 🌿💚

Welcome Back!💚 Die Pink Sunset schlägt auch nach der zweiten Blütewoche ordentlich in die Höhe. Ihr Stretch ist relativ Stark und sie hat nun innerhalb einer weiteren Woche nochmal 10 cm zugelegt. Sie ist jetzt schön ausgeglichen und die Interniodentriebe bilden sich stark aus. Es bilden sich allmählich überall Pistillen und man erkennt die Blütenansätze richtig gut. Ich habe die Lampeneinstellung der Sanlight nun hochgefahren. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind auch im Blütezelt optimal: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24,3°C 🌚 Temp: 19°C bis 20°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,97 kPa👍 😎 PPFD: 830 mqm —————

First day of week 6, i have to say these ladies are FASTTT! VPD 1.15-1.23 lights on VPD 0.97-1.05 lights off. The 70x70 area is 101% covered although id say 72x72cm because i added some self made growbox wall extenders i have started thinking adding the trellis net now or some days later to tilt the colas alittle just slightly for better light absorbtion for lower buds under the main shoots isnt a bad idea,under canopy view is magazine cover worthy MAN :D as you can see they are on fabric pots above plastic draining pot holders, the runoff is collected downthere and each of the pot holder has a plastic tube glued with water resistant superglue so after every water all the runoff water is collected from a pump with just a push of a button, the irrigation watering system is also connected and works pretty nice i have been giving them the water also by a simple push of a button with irrigation seem to love it (its not a automatic feeder connected to a reservuar i have two waterpumps one for watering one for collecting runoff i simply put the water intake plastic tube in my water bucket & press the button manualy, worth mentioning all of them have been reciving the same nutrient solution and same water although pheno#1 have been streching 4-6cm more than her sisters and she developed abit of blueish leafs even the soil in all 4 pots was from the same 2 soil bags and mixed very well before filling them so soil manifacturer excess nitrogen mistake is also not possible, i feel it is the phenotype but just to make sure there will be no excess nitrogen in the end i watered her with the exact same water amount as her sisters but 260ppm less for her this time just to make sure the blue is gone soon.she will be fine and emerald in few days. From today the UV FROST is ON from now too. Oh i forgot to mention thrueout the diary they where never topped only trained with these red clips besides the pheno3 that came topped "from god" since sprout and i wouldnt recommend topping autos (btw pheno 3 is a monster and smells wayy more LOUDA than the siblings.) although the pheno1 remains the main subject further on she got fuel to shoot for the stars and we rlly dont want that in this compact mini research area dont curse me for the substrate choice :D this stuff translates a bit of that earthy taste to the buds and way less attention than coco.

Into day 30 and I have some flowers starting. The girls look healthy and I am only using some LST and defoliation. Backed off the Foxfarm Big Bloom and I am now just using Ph balanced water between 6.3 and 6.5 Very pleased with their progress so far🌱🤙

Topped her at the start of the week, and she’s been busy pushing out new colas ever since. Noticed a few root strings hitting the bottom of the bucket already. I gave her a foliar spray with some Canna Rhizotonic and added 1ml/L of 3% H2O2 to the res to keep things sterile. Hit her with another topping at the end of the week. Honestly, I’ve always been a bit of a butterfingers, so this stage is easily the most nerve-wracking and crucial part for me. N110, P45, K127, Ca105

Now we've reached day 25. We are in the transition phase, pre-flowering if you want, when the seedlings reveal their sex by showing the white fluff or the boyish balls. Here and in all F1 Hybrids you can be SURE, SURE as death that you will never see any balls. If you have underestimated this aspect of the F1 Hybrid, go back and think about how many times you found the balls on the paint, full of pollen that fertilized your ladies. Do you like having young ladies impregnate you? Absolutely not for me and this is a very valid reason why you can choose the F1 Hybrid. Really guys the seeds suck and the genetics of the various breeders if they don't do a job like this it means that they are super hybrid poles with genetic traces scattered here and there. Inglourious bastards. Here we don't want to be Aryan but to cultivate healthy plants with safe results. Our Pineapple Express F1 HYBRID goes very, very well, even with very slight signs of overfeeding but lighter than the others, almost non-existent. Nothing that affects the final quality and beauty, you will see in the end. To fix this little thing we go to flush with pH 6.2 and only give Aptus Regulator which should rebalance the plant and soil before delicately moving on to fertilizers for flowering. Site Description ZAMNESIA SEEDS - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: FRUITY FLAVORS AND ENERGETIC EFFECTS Combining Trainwreck with Hawaiian, Pineapple Express F1 Hybrid Automatic brings a beloved strain to new heights. This autoflowering F1 hybrid cultivar ensures exceptional uniformity, reliability, and stability, making it well-suited to growers of all experience levels. If you've not checked out Pineapple Express F1 hybrid Automatic for yourself just yet, now is the time. GROWING PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC All it takes is 8–9 weeks from germination before Pineapple Express F1 hybrid Automatic is ready to harvest. Thankfully, very little effort is required throughout the growing process, aside from a bit of maintenance, to ensure ample, high-quality harvests. Thanks to its F1 genetics, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic offers superb resilience and uniformity, meaning all plants will have a similar height and appearance, and will churn out comparably large yields. Reaching heights of 50–70cm, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic is not an overbearing plant and can effortlessly slot into any setup. Once ready to yield, growers can see a return in the region of 400–550g/m² indoors and up to 200g/plant outdoors. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Just one hit of Pineapple Express F1 hybrid Automatic treats users to a rich assortment of flavors and aromas. This strain offers strong pineapple notes alongside moments of citrus, spice, and pine, making for a mouth-watering blend that's extremely moreish. Bolstered by 21% THC and an array of cannabinoids, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic showcases an energetic and uplifting high that will have you feeling chatty in no time. So if you've been looking for a strain to enjoy with friends, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic could be just the thing. As for fertilizers, I'm doing a small comparison experiment to finish off the fertilizers I had at home, it's not 100% indicative, it's only on two specimens but given the stable genetics I decided to try to compare the results of Plagron Vs Aptus , both excellent brands which they will certainly produce beautiful plants which are already of excellent stable genetics. In the next few weeks the comparison will be more evident now the seedlings are still very small and just potted. So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector www.zamnesia.io

I never feel bad about cutting them down. It Is always funny when someone says , you’re going to cut that but it looks so good. Rule#1 Don’t fall in love with your plants. Ya gonna burn her as well😉🤣💭🔥🤙🏼 I got to meet Franco Loja and Arjan Roskam during 2005-11 Cannabis Cups in Amsterdam , VIP Judge's credentials I had to put some tutoring they gave me to work with this epic strain. This is my first time posting a grow on here though I’ve had my years of doing so. I was given a particular grow box to demo to report on 2yrs ago , and it kicked thumb back into play. Franco’s Lemon Cheese is in it’s final stages, until then “I got one for ya💭🔥🤙🏼”

Well, it's been three weeks since the last visit to the site, and I have to say that the girls have grown significantly in size! Defoliation has proven beneficial for them! It's also clear how well Plagron bat guano is working. As you can see, the plants have already begun to flower and gain mass. I want to note that the Fast Version from Sweet Seeds really started flowering earlier than the regular versions, giving me a two-week head start. This gives hope to avoid mold during harvest. Overall, I am very pleased! I'm considering adding Bud Candy from Advanced Nutrients to enhance sugar production in the flowers and make them taste better!

Snuck in a few extra snaps for you this week. Getting excited over here! I love the white puff ball stage of flowering. Here soon the weight will be packing! I’ve had all three strains in these photos thus far. I’m going to start keeping better track of what’s what now that they are almost halfway through flower. Cheers!
