🥦 Vegetative Week 3 Structural Expansion & Root Transition Eternity Grow Cup 2026 Sticky Broccoli Feminized Stage: Vegetative Phase Week 3 Day: Day 21 🌡️ Environmental Stability -Temperature: ~26°C stable -Humidity: balanced for vegetative vigor -Light Schedule: 18/6 -Light Output: controlled to maintain steady growth -Airflow: consistent, supporting stem strength and recovery The environment remained stable this week, allowing the plants to fully focus on structural expansion. 🍵 Feeding & Root Support - Base Soil: Narcos Organic Mix - Hy-Pro Spraymix - Hy-Pro Terra Rootstimulator The foliar application was used to support micronutrient balance and strengthen overall plant vitality. Rootstimulator continued to promote root mass expansion, especially important before the final transplant. 🌱 Strain Specific Observation -Strong stress tolerance -Compact but vigorous branching -Excellent structural integrity The strain handles topping and defoliation confidently, which is promising for the upcoming flowering phase. ⭐Final Environment Upgrade In addition to the transplant into the final 30L container, the plants were also moved into their final flowering tent at the end of Week 3 for: -Maximum vertical and horizontal space for expansion -Optimized airflow and environmental control -Stable conditions for the upcoming pre flower and stretch phase Vegetative Week 3 marked a significant structural milestone. With topping, major defoliation, foliar support, and the final transplant into 30L container completed, the foundation for a powerful flowering phase is now firmly established. Thanks for following the journey , feedback and discussion are always welcome. See you in Veg Week 4 🌿✨

This was the runt of the bunch from the beginning and started flowering a week before the others. Seemed like in veg it didn't have enough nitrogen (yellow/green leaves) and in flower it had too much causing the bottom new leaves to grow kinda mutated and dark green. Even with those issues she still packed on solid dense buds covered in trichomes. pulled off 253 grams wet after trimming and 57 grams of trim will update with dry weight when ready

4/18: I foliar fed them and gave them a little drink of water with humic acid, molasses, and endoboost 4/19: Foliar fed 4/20: Fed them with their first full-strength batch of nutes today...stand by for ignition.... 4/22: I FIM'd both of them today and gave them about 20oz of water with cal-mag, humic acid, and boomerang and foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. Later, I rinsed off the plants with a stiff stream of filtered water in preparation for tomorrow. 4/23: Today was BoomBoom Spray day! I just love how visible the growth is the day after a BoomBoom Spray day!😲 Tomorrow I'll spray them down with Axiom Harpin a|b proteins..they'll start flowering soon and I want them hitting their stretch with major vigor.👈 4/24: I did a foliar application of Harpin proteins today and I fed them with about 1/4-gallon each. I observed that they are both popping pistils already. I'll start increasing P and K with the next feeding. I bent over the main shoot on the taller one and tied it down. The other one wasn't ready yet. I turned on the 3rd pair of QB's and bud boosters today and removed all the blues and cool whites from the garden....the chains are off...reach for the stars my little lovelies! 4/25: Was busy with life, but checked on them a couple of times and they are both flowering.👍 Last day of week 3-

Start of week 4 of flowering. Week 3 went well, even with temps reaching 35°c in the closet. I've since added another fan to circulate more air, temps have dropped down to 31°c. Despite the heat stress, the plants are growing rather well and bud sites are developing nicely. Light defoliation again this feeding. Based on the heat issues, I need to upgrade my exhaust fan, 100 CFM isn't enough to get ride of the heat.

Ive made so many mistakes, nevertheless the plant still goes on. Humidity is too high here, almost 93%, so i only have to water it once a week.

Esta semana bajo la temperatura muchísimo y estoy teniendo 12 grados durante la noche, de todas maneras parece que va a ser una floración muy rendidora. 30/05 se riega con 1,5 litros de agua de osmosis + 1ml/l de calmag + 0,5 gr/l de trico+. Se riega con poca agua debido al frío que está haciendo y con la intención que se seque un poco el fondo de la maceta 03/05 se riega con 2 litros de agua de osmosis inversa + calmag + monster bloom Ec:0,9

9/2/25 Overall I'm delighted with these. 17 weeks grows for me are few & far between. These 2 phenos had 7 weeks in 2L pots. And were put into a 20L pot of coco/pebbles and gives 10-14 days to recover and were flipped. I purposely grew them this shape as I had to make sure I kept them apart if hit with WPM or anything like that. As grows these long, buds this dense. And running a tent with a bunch of mixed grows from done to days into the start of the 12-12 flip. I would have liked to run for another week on a 100w light and high doses of UV but because of such a mixed bag of grows in my tents. Running reds/uv just wasn't even attempted. 10/2 She smells absolutely amazing, buds are super big, sticky & very smelly. They're still mainly hard for the moment. And leaves not even limp. So, I removed the big fan leaves to allow air to move around better. They're hanging behind my 100cm2 tent kept out of UV rays.

13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅 I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. Throughout the week, I've been defoliating all the fan leaves 🍃 The trichomes are looking all milky to me. I stopped watering a couple of days ago, and the pots are totally dry. 14.4.25: Today is Harvest Day! I finally put together my clothes rail, which I'm using to hang my plants on. I purchased a hanging mosquito net for a bed from Amazon. It's black, which will hopefully block out what little light there is in my drying room. Also, to prevent debris from sticking to the buds whilst drying. It hangs from the ceiling so it will just hang over the clothes rail. Additionally, the net will allow good airflow. I put a bit of thought into this method, so I look forward to seeing it in action! 😅 So let's wait a while and find out how much we yielded here! 😃💚✌️🌱👌

3/18 to 3/24 Veg Days 28 to 34 Week 4 This week is primarily test training and recovery for that. I say test training because in past grows I noticed that some really bad early breaks are fully recoverable by flip.... but how bad is too bad. Thus the test So I plan to break every branch and try to control really bad to not so bad to see what the end results will be. (the worst break picture didnt come out so good, so It's just "after tape" pics.) Feed this week was 1 top feed of .5 gal at 150 ppm with 6.1ph. 4 days later I turned on the autopots and for the rest of the grow all feeds will be reservoir feeds that I change out weekly. I prepared 3gal of 6.1ph RO water. I used 200ppm of Veg Mix (recipe Week 2) then I added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0). Next week I plan to top cut the branches again and change out the feeds with 300ppm at 6.0ph

Day 70: Brain Cake seemed thirsty and wanting more nutrients: Topped off water yesterday, added +3ml of hyro A&B and +1ml of power roots & pure enzyme. EC went from 0.8 -> 1.0 Day 71: Brain Cake is showing symptoms, many top leaves have deformed tips and light interveinal chlorosis starting on opposite end of the tip and dark interveinal chlorosis at the end of the tip. EC is 0.8-0.9 (not very accurate meter :/ ) Not sure whether this is a nutrient deficiency or excess/lockout. The ph has been between 5.6 and 6.5 most of the time the past week, the reservoir change was 4-5 days ago. Plagron indicates to give more hydo A&B in proportion to their roots and enzyme nutrients in the first weeks of flowering (during veg these are given in proportion), so maybe these new problems are due to the different balance of nutrients that I may have times wrongly. Finally the problems may be due to the water reservoirs holding approx 12 liters in practice and the Brain Cake drinks approx 2-3.5L a day so maybe the water res is very unstable but after a day the PH usually remains in range and the EC usually drops a bit the first day after adding nutrients and stays pretty stable the rest of the week. Any suggestions are more than welcome! Day 72: Yesterday evening made an upgraded reservoir for the Brain Cake dwc (as we suspect the leaf problems may be due to instable water because of small res and roots nearly completely filling the res). Now the Brain Cake is in a 60L box with approx 32L of water, EC set to 1.0 and ph 5.7-6.5. She seems to be happy, nice and perky this morning. FYI the roots seem more orange in the video! They are on the white side though, just a bit of stain from the nutrients but looking very good overall.

Day 30 Starting to stretch. Seems to be liking nutes. I have my sprinkler setup to water for 15 minutes every 24hrs. Also got my security setup. I'm able to keep an eye on everything while I'm not home. Hopefully chronics leave my girls alone.... the 2 in the back just started flushing. Aloha.

Morning of day 14- tops look dry but it’s just the very surface. They took a little longer than I wanted to dry out. The weather has been cold windy and rainy, not much sun lately, and we are still about a month away from our potential last frost date. Farmer’s Almanac says last frost date is May 30th or something crazy, even though the days are normally rather warm by now. I haven’t fed as of Day 14 because they are not dry enough, there is plenty of amendments in the pot, especially towards the bottom, except I will still spoon feed a little bit. I just rehydrated the tops as they were really dry at least 1-2 inches of the tops were dry, but the bottoms are still plenty wet, so with clean water in a spray bottle, I just lightly rehydrated the top a lil, so I might be feeding tomorrow for day 15, but I don’t know yet. Keeping the tent around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and only about 25-30% RH. This helps me compensate for the lack of heat provided by the LEDs and help the plants adapt to a higher water demand. I haven’t seen the low humidity effect the seedlings, intact all the plants that grow outside in the hot bone dry climate LOVE IT! They were praising all last year. So to help keep me away from damping issues and to better prepare the little ones for the outdoors, I’m trying to match a hot and dry environment in the tent. With VPD levels way up in the red, I have yet to experience a negative impact. I have damped off enough plants in my life, it’s a lot harder for me in 60-70%RH to water the plants and get them to dry out fast enough in the tent with cold LEDs.

I'm a couple days late on updating, but everyone is in the ground! They spent almost a week outside hardening off. One night despite the forecast it got down to 38F and I was very worried, but it didn't phase them much. I stuck them in with my tomatoes as camouflage and added seaweed as mulch which I need to finish. We finally got rain yesterday, the first we've had in weeks so I'm sure the garden is grateful. I'm using tomato cages again this year because last year they worked great. I think everything is in the video.

Let's dive into the third-week update for our resilient Jelousy, the star of our Power Buds journey. This week is nothing short of a pivotal phase in the life of our green darling, so fasten your seat-belts, and let's embark on this exciting chapter together. Jelousy, our leafy companion, has truly come into her own during this transformative period. Those five-fingered leaves are now the epitome of lushness and vigor. It's as if she's been to the botanical spa, indulging in a little photosynthesis and chlorophyll rejuvenation. The importance of this phase cannot be overstated. You see, during the third week, our plant transitions from her infantile vegetative state into the budding and flowering phase. It's the botanical equivalent of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Nutrient-wise, we've continued our faithful partnership with Plagron Sugar Royal at a steady 1ml per liter. It's like providing our green champion with the secret recipe to success, ensuring she gets the nourishment she needs to thrive. Now, let's break it down a bit. In this critical phase, our plant is busy laying the foundation for her flowering stage. It's during this time that she's prepping herself to produce those coveted, resinous buds that we all dream about. This phase is marked by a shift in priorities, as Jelousy begins to direct her energy toward developing flowers and, ultimately, a bountiful harvest. Before we sign off, it's imperative to extend our profound gratitude to the benevolent Zamnesia and Plagron for their unwavering support in making this Power Buds journey possible. Their expertise and generosity are the wind beneath our green wings. A hearty shout-out to the incredible Grow Diaries community, the heart and soul of this fantastic adventure. Your knowledge and camaraderie keep our spirits high. To all fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to flourish, and your dreams of a magnificent harvest come true. Here's to a week of growth, transformation, and a dash of humor as we journey through the Power Buds contest. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep watching those dreams bloom! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .
