Day #22: The day after defoliation day... And for now it seems that the #AutoGelato ladies are recovering pretty fine, but let's not be too enthusiastic... Things can still go wrong in the next few days, but if all goes well I will be bending the ladies down in a day or two... One of the ladies is growing very nice, all branches seem to be growing towards the same height, exactly like you want them to do... Day #24: The Gelato Auto ladies from @Fast_Buds are recovering very good from their topping and defoliation last week. I must say that my LED lights from Lientec LED are helping a lot with their high quality light... Today I will start with LST, so I can create as many 'main'-branches as possible 😋 Day #26: I decided to LST just two plants for now. The rest is growing good and has a lot of branches at even height... I'm also almost at the point that I won't be adding Fulvic to the water anymore. So in week 5 the plans will only have FloraGro and FloraMicro as nutrients. Day #28: Tiny buds are slowly developing over the garden. Plants are still looking extremely good, growth is very good for 8 plants, 2 are a little behind in growth. But they were behind, before topping and LST already... In the new week, the lights will be slowly set to a higher power setting, so when blooming starts, they already have the best light they can get...

Sticky Broccoli Auto — Week 3 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Event: Eternity Cup Stage: Late Veg (Pre-Flower Transition Approaching) ⸻ Growth Overview Week 3 showed aggressive vegetative expansion. Plants are stacking nodes quickly with strong lateral branching and tight internodal spacing. No visible pistils yet, but structure suggests pre-flower is approaching soon. Feeding frequency has increased to near-daily, which aligns with rapid coco dry-back under elevated PPFD and warmer temps. Plants are handling higher EC without tip burn or clawing, indicating strong uptake and healthy root function. ⸻ Light Settings 2/5 — Spectrum Adjustment • 60% Cool • 40% Warm • 0% IR • 0% UV • 430 PPFD This spectrum favors vegetative growth by emphasizing blue light for tighter structure while maintaining enough red for balanced development. ⸻ Environment 2/6 • Temp: 84°F • RH: 69% VPD is on the higher transpiration side at that temperature. This explains the heavier feeding demand and strong nutrient pull. Plants are metabolically active and drinking accordingly. ⸻ Watering & Nutrient Log All nutrient amounts listed per gallon. ⸻ 2/6 • 1 gallon mixed • ¼ gallon per plant via auto system • 1050 PPM • 5.8 pH .5 ml Silicium 2 ml Mag-Cal 10 ml Cocos A 6 ml Cocos B 1 ml Royal Rush 4 ml Pure Zym 4 ml Photo + 2 ml Fish Sh!t 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Notes: Elevated PPM largely from Scientetics Mag-Cal addition. No signs of toxicity; plants appear to be responding positively. ⸻ 2/7 • Light defoliation • Cleaned lower growth to prevent sprayer interference • Removed 2 larger fan leaves per plant for penetration • 5-gallon batch mixed • Auto system ran 2 minutes • 5.8 pH • No runoff Nutrient mix remained identical. ⸻ 2/8 • Auto system ran 3 minutes • Small runoff achieved • 1250 PPM • 5.8 pH Same nutrient ratios maintained. Observation: 1250 PPM in week 3 is aggressive for autos, but structure and leaf posture suggest they’re metabolizing efficiently. ⸻ 2/10 • Removed 2 large top leaves per plant to open side branching • 2 gallons mixed • Auto ran 3 minutes • ½ gallon per plant • Small runoff achieved • 900 PPM • 5.8 pH Adjusted mix: .5 ml Silicium 2 ml Mag-Cal 10 ml Cocos A 6 ml Cocos B 1 ml Royal Rush 4 ml Pure Zym 2 ml Fish Sh!t 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Photo + removed this feed cycle. Lowered PPM to 900 — a smart reset to prevent salt stacking while maintaining daily feeding cadence. ⸻ Nutrient Function Breakdown Silicium • Strengthens cell walls • Improves stress tolerance • Supports upright leaf posture Mag-Cal • Provides calcium for cell structure • Magnesium for chlorophyll production • Essential under high LED intensity Cocos A & B • Primary macro base (NPK + micros) • Drives vegetative expansion Royal Rush • Early metabolic stimulator • Supports nitrogen utilization Pure Zym • Enzyme product • Breaks down dead root matter • Prevents medium compaction in coco Fish Sh!t • Microbial inoculant • Enhances nutrient conversion Ruby Fulvic • Chelation support • Improves micronutrient uptake • Increases efficiency at higher EC Photo + (earlier feeds) • Carbohydrate support • Microbial fuel • Supplemental metabolic enhancer ⸻ Technical Observations • Feeding frequency is appropriate for 84°F + 430 PPFD • Achieving slight runoff on 3-minute cycle is ideal • Dropping from 1250 to 900 PPM was a strong preventative move • No pistils yet — expect pre-flower within 5–10 days At this pace, they are setting up for a strong stretch phase. Structurally, they look primed for a controlled but productive transition into flower.

Buenas tardes, aquí mi Sour Compassion CBD. La segunda generación y viene a todo ritmo. Al día de la fecha (29/5) lleva 36 días de flora. Una planta muy sana que se recuperó de una gran falta de magnesio por problemas de ph. Es un esqueje de la Sour Compassion CBD que coseché. Las fotos son a lo largo de su crecimiento. Actualmente está nevada y posee un olor a pino increíble. Saludos cannabicos!😎

Things are going pretty well. Running out of headroom so I may have to rig my light a bit higher before long. The buds are starting to fatten up and in seeing more trichromes each week.

Quite happy with how most of it turned out, even canopy and all, despite the issues. In this week I decided to flush the center plant (A) and switched nutes to Canna, but it was too late already and I was planning to harvest in 2 weeks regardless.

---GENERAL COMMENT--- Girls are at day 4 technically, but i like to update Sunday always, so keep that in mind, is 1/2 a week now. From germination to soil emerging took 3-4 days, no issues at all. 100% germination rate from multiple breeders till now. I will try my best to do a stress free grow again, so will grow mainly naturally. ---RQS EASY BUD--- Ironically the Easy bud is developing better and growing faster than her sister. ---DAY 10 UPDATE--- Over some days she got volume, just started to use RECHARGE, and wow, that thing works, 48H you could tell something is different, since watering with it the stem is thicker and is growing more vigorous, lets see how it will impact overall! ---DAY 14 UPDATE. WEEK 2 FINAL--- This is the last day of this week and this girl is absolutely amazing, she grew a lot, showing already the intension of shooting up more stems, i'm very happy with her, it has been a delight to grow, response in very good. Voodoo juice is of by now, will keep the recharge maintenance every other watering as i'm loving it. Feeding program will start soon!

So... it happened Because of the lack of space and poor light I decided to defoliate them a bit.. No water the whole week, as the soil was still quite humid

My baby started week 2 (day 12) I ve added 4 ml each MGB and immediately measured PPM and read 300. I got one litre from the res, diluted the nute and poured it back and mixed well for each type of nute. Lux reads as 8000. • 16 Aug - She starts her 14th day with additional 4 mL MGB (total of 16.5 mL MGB for 16 liters. Immediate PPM reads as 360, pH reads 5.9 Lux reads as 8000. • 17 Aug - She starts her 15th day with another additional 4 mL MGB (total of 20.5 mL MGB for 16 liters) Immediate PPM reads as 430, pH reads 6.1 Lux reads as 10000. And I raised VJ concentration from 0.25 mL/L to 0.50 mL/L • 18 Aug - I lowered the lights until Lux meter reads 17000

Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

Eternity Grow Cup 2025 with Plagron and Zamnesia 🌱 Runtz - Zamnesia Seeds We’ve reached week 12 from seed and week 8 of flowering, and our beauty is still thriving, thanks to the incredible nutrients from Plagron. Last week, we harvested a small bud from a middle branch, and after trying it, we were blown away by the flavor and strength—it’s delicious and packs a punch! Now, as we enter the final stage, we’ve begun flushing with water, but not just any water. We’re using a special homemade feed made from the very leaves we trimmed off, blended into a rich solution to give back to the plant in its last days. Plagron has been a game-changer for us, boosting not only growth but resin production, ensuring the buds are dense, sticky, and full of flavor.

12/26/2022: gave both plants 1 liter of water with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit tea again. Have I mentioned how much I hate fungas gnats. I've been so happy with my switch to organics, except for these damn gnats. This should be the final week. Plants are fading hard, and tricomes are starting to amber. 12/28/2022: watered about 1 liter each with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit and neem cake tea. Also threw some mosquito bits and neem cake directly into the soil to see if that helps at all. 12/30/2022: not much new to report. Watered again, 1 liter for each plant with ThermX-70. Both plants continue to swell and ripen. Between 5% to 10% amber. Was originally planning to chop at the end of this week, but I'm thinking I may give them one more week. We'll see how they look in a couple days. 1/1/2023: moistened the top soil with some plain ph'ed water.
