Girls are doing great! I forgot to take close up pics but they are starting to throw some pistols so flower in around the corner. All they got was rain water this week

April 19, 2024 Day 64 A new week and nothing to change. I took each plant out and separately took pics. But that's it. Banana Purple Punch A has a final height of 23". She is 24" from the light and the DLI is 43 mol/m²/d. She is the bigger of the two but has more space and less bud. The buds are still really nice and covered in trichomes. I'll get a couple pictures in when I remember to. Banana Purple Punch B has a final height of 21". She is 23" from the light due to the risers. The DLI is 44 mol/m²/d. She's the smaller, but has way more bud and it appears the size isn't going to matter with this one. I can't really tell for sure what the yield will be for them, but if they bulk up enough, I may get 4 oz out of each plant. Maybe 5 depending on the bud density. No watering today. They will be needing water tomorrow though. I may pull back on the Overdrive. I'm getting some burning tips. I'm guessing it's the dose of Overdrive. I'll drop it down to 4 ml instead of the 8 ml it's currently at. Same thing with the Bud Candy. I just don't think they need the full dose. Especially when everything else is getting a half dose. The light is obviously staying the same this week. Probably for the next 2 weeks. Unless they start to finish up super quick. So maybe another 3 to 4 weeks left on the plants total. The environment is a bit off today. The temp is kind of high at 78° and the humidity is also kind of high at 56%. I'd much rather everything be down. 75° and 50% is good for now. Still don't know how I'm going to get the humidity down to 45%. I may have to work with 50% for the rest of the grow. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 53.3% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 20, 2024! Happy 420! Well, today was watering day. I decided not to add the Overdrive today. It should help with the nutrient burn. Next watering I'll start the 4 ml dose. I also dropped the Bud Candy down to 4 ml also to help with the nutrient burn. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Her buds are super fat. I can't wait to see the end result for this lady. Great leaf to bud ratio and beautiful colors. Banana Purple Punch B is getting super fat buds. Not as big as Banana Purple Punch A, but still swelling. I'm also fairly certain that, Banana Purple Punch A started flowering earlier, so her buds are naturally further along and of course are bigger. However, Banana Purple Punch B has more bud throughout the plant. When the buds really start to swell, I may not see branch anymore. Lol. That would be fantastic. The lighting didn't change yet again. The environment is back to normal today. The temps are gradually climbing up from last night's 68° with the humidity staying happily at 51%. As I said, it would fix itself. Happy days! Now it's at 74° and should be back up to 76° in a couple of hours. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 52.3% VPD: 1.30 kPa April 21, 2024 Nothing going on today with these two. I'll be taking Trichomes pics in a few days. Maybe starting next week. I was planning on starting this week, and there are tons of trichomes, but not enough to be impressive. Banana Purple Punch A has super fat buds and looks great! She is a tiny bit crushed against Banana Purple Punch B and it's pressing the leaves inward. No big deal, but I need to document something. Banana Purple Punch B doesn't have the fastest buds like her sister plant, but they are still fat and compact. Hopefully they bulk up like Banana Purple Punch A. Her leaves are also being forced in from the contact with Banana Purple Punch A. Lighting is the same. The environment finally fixed itself and is now at 75° and 49% humidity. Looking great! Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 49.7% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 22, 2024 Nothing going on today. I filled the jugs with the nutrients and they are standing by. Both reservoirs are still about a quarter full. So watering will be waiting for either first thing tomorrow or later today. The advantage is I don't have to water just in the morning. I can water anytime, so when the reservoir is near empty, I can refill it. Hell, I could do that later tonight. But I don't think I will unless necessary. I don't like to pull the plants out more than once a day, just Incase they get stressed or damaged somehow. But I take them out for inspection and solo pics. Banana Purple Punch A is getting heavy buds now. The branches are starting to sway in that way now. She looks great! Banana Purple Punch B is also looking great! She had a couple leaves snipped off today. Just a couple though. 2 leaves that were being crushed. Other than that, her structure is still great and her buds are coming along nicely. I may be expecting this to finish up in the next 2 to 3 weeks. As always, the lighting has stayed in place. Another week and we shall see if I'm dropping the intensity down. We will see what the plants are doing. The environment is doing quite nicely. A good 75° today with the humidity at 50%. I couldn't ask for any better with this setup. It has been dipping down to 48%, so that's a good sign. The night temp and humidity are still looking pretty good. Steady humidity at 50% and the temp average for last night was still 68°. I'd like to see the average at around 66° for the rest of the run, but I'm still having trouble getting the temp that low. It did drop down to 65° for a bit last night, but through the night, the temp needs time to drop and I only get about an hour or so of cold. I'm planning on cooling my room off earlier in the evening, so when the lights go out, we are down to maybe 72° and will drop even lower for a longer period of time. I'll start that next week I think. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 49.2% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 23, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just watering and inspection. Both plants got the full watering and half the dose of Overdrive and half the dose of Bud Candy. Banana Purple Punch A has great fat buds, but spaced out quite a bit. She still looks super good though. Beautiful greens and good sized fan leaves. Banana Purple Punch B is the best of the two by far. She has the most bud and the cleanest structure. Leaf to bud ratio is right on point if not a little high. But no big deal. I'll be doing a wet trim anyway, so it won't matter too much. In the mean time, I'll just leave her alone. Just watering and observation. Both ladies have a wonderful aroma. Strong and sweet. A little hint of gas as well. It's a sharp smell, the best way I can explain it. It's not super heady like diesel, but sharp like petrol. I'd like to discuss the time frame these ladies have left. By the way they look, id say another 2 to 3 weeks. Maybe less. They have tons of pistils and only a couple have turned orange. So they're still going strong. The lighting is still spot on for these two. Depending on how they look next week, I may leave it or drop the power down. We shall see. The environment is looking good today. Currently 8 have it at 78°, but that will go down to 75° in an hour. I had to kickstart my heater and bring the temp up as quick as I could. Now I just have to adjust it down to 75° simple. Also, I discovered that my dehumidifier was off. Oops. Anyway, I turned that back on and the humidity is hanging just below 50% now. The VPD is around 1.60 kPa. Should be fine for the next few hours. Honestly, I'm pretty sure the VPD should be around 1.60 kPa anyway. But that's with the temp at 75° and the humidity at 45%. Currently it's fine, but with the dehumidifier back on, I should be able to lower the temp a bit and really drop the humidity. Hopefully. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 49.0% VPD: 1.42 kPa Nothing going on today. Just observation. What I'm observing is tons of trichomes. Frosty tops and leaves. Frost everywhere. I'll start with the trichome pics next week. Then we should have tons of good pics. Now if I can keep my hand steady... That's the trick. Banana Purple Punch A looks great as always. Her buds are getting fatter everyday. No orange pistils yet. Well, not an abundance of them. Just a few scattered here and there. You can tell she's got another 2 weeks left. But that's a good thing. Big ole fat buds. Lots of frost and tons of smell. Banana Purple Punch B looks majestic. Her buds are coated on trichomes and she's almost at the place where I can really call her frosty. Not quite yet though. I want a full blanket of frost. Very close. And with her structure, she looks all the better. I'm not expecting to move the light for at least another week or so, and even then I may only drop the power down to 80%. I just don't quite know yet. The environment is a bit off today. The temp is fine at 75°, but it's the humidity that is a bit high today. It's holding at 52%. Nothing crazy, but definitely not below 50%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 50.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 25, 2024 Today is the end of week 9 and moving into late flower. Things will be changing starting next week. Lots to document. Nothing to do today. Both reservoirs are still too full to refill, so that won't be happening until later today or early tomorrow. There honestly isn't much to report at all. Everything looks the same as yesterday. The buds are bigger, but that's about it. Same thing with the lighting. Nothing to change. The environment is actually really nice. I have the heat in my room cranked for now. I've been keeping the tent around 76°. The humidity has been happy at 50%. I also managed to get the temp down to 62° last night. Not for long though. It was too cold on my room for that. Lol. The average for the night was 65°. Right where I want it. Now to figure out how to keep it at 65° without slamming it all the way down to 62°. The humidity was also nice and low at 48%. Excellent night temp. Let's hope I can keep it up. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 49.3% VPD: 1.43 kPa Quick update: I totally forgot to make the end of week video, so I made one today, May 1, 2024. I only did so because I'm switching to solo plant videos for the rest of the grow. Sorry for the confusion.

Still waiting for the all milky tricomes

Well I think I messed up, I started this auto in a seed starting tray and after reading a bit it seems I should've start her right in her final pot... I transplanted a couple days ago, hopefully she won't resent me for the rough start.

Tropicanna Banana Week 16 11L Pot LED: SP250 (245W) for Flow. Stage Canna COCO Mineral Nutrients: 👇 Flawless Finish: 2 ml/L

Well the first seedling week is out of the way. Now to start my nutrients and transplant the Root Riot cubes into the net pots with Hydroton. I have 2 ladies that are keeping up with each other while I have one that seems to be a little behind, and then the 4th lady is for sure a runt of the liter but I will keep working with her and will make the best of her, who knows maybe she'll catchup some how. Next time I germinate I make make sure to put each seed in its own 16oz. Mason jar 2/3 full of water so each seed does not suffer because it can't soak up nutrients in the small amount of germ water that all seeds soak in. Every seed has plenty of micronutrients to start out with, without it fighting for it due to many seeds in the same jar soaking it up the same minerals. I'm super excited and can't wait to start to see these girls flourish 😁 Going by an Autoflower feed schedule with my Current Culture nutrients Week 1 germination is plain water Starting week 1 of vegging 👍-09/20/2021

Well, another week has passed and the end of the second week has come and the pistils have already shown themselves and I continue watering with top crop bloom, first time testing this fertilizer and I'm only using two of them, top veg and top bloom, next cycle I'm going to use General Hydroponics fertilizers because I have a friend who uses them and he's having great results, I still want to talk to my friends about this strain because I think it hasn't grown as it should, but anyway we're studying to improve ourselves for the next ones, the rest is all experience for the next ones it grows. =D

She has slowed right down and isn't packing on much weight. And possibly started to hermie :( got most of them out and no other plants in the room so no worries about pollination. Got to say I'm a little disappointed but I'll be flushing tomorrow and maybe one more flush next week so hopefully all isn't lost

Week 4: Looking good...

The buds are swelling nicely 🌱💨 and developing super well the terps are turning out amazing! 😍✨

. FIRST DAYS ------------- The girls tolerated the topping well; in three days, I found small bushy bushes in my tent. So, a little mainlining to give them the desired shape, and a little splash of water with just Voodoo. Tomorrow they will receive their 4ml Grow A+B, with 2ml B-52 this time. PS: as you can see in the photo, a little mistake due to over-enthusiasm... I damaged one, but the branch didn't break completely; a little bandage, we'll see if it recovers, if not it will do without that branch. I've seen worse in a previous session, and it was my 3-branch plant that gave me the best harvest! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QTXbEUN8pA MIDWEEK ----------- Two days after mainlining, it's time for the first defoliation. I cut the “horizontal” sites, as I don't want branches growing in the center of the structure. I'll leave them to rest now; I'll do some lollipopping when they've climbed. + I'll switch Voodoo to B-52. PS: - The damaged branch is not dead, but does not seem to be recovering; I will give it a few more days before deciding to cut it - On the other hand, I had an unpleasant surprise: one of my other girls showed signs of wilting and browning on three of the four branches. I've never had that before... As with gangrene, I cut the three, hoping that the fourth will hold up. For her, I kept the middle sites + mainlining; if it works, I'll still have three branches. see 2 last pics 👆

**Semaine Harvest : Récolte Finale – Sticky Broccoli (28 avril 2026)** **Note :** Fin du cycle Eternity Grow Cup 2. Récolte effectuée en semaine 10 de floraison (légèrement anticipée). Tout le journal de culture est maintenant complet. ### Contexte et Bilan du Cycle Après 10 semaines de floraison (semaine 14 globale), la récolte a été déclenchée suite à un départ de botrytis sur une autre plante du même espace. J’aurais pu laisser encore quelques jours pour laisser mûrir un peu plus les trichomes ambrés, mais la sécurité prime. La plante dominante (150 cm) a donné un beau rendement qualitatif, avec des buds denses, extrêmement frosty et résineux. **Poids frais : environ 780 grammes** (poids humide total des buds trimés, sans les grosses tiges). Mise à jour prévue dans 2 semaines pour le **poids sec final** après un bon curing. ### Observations à la Récolte - **Buds** : Denses et compacts, très collants. Couverture trichomale exceptionnelle (majoritairement laiteux avec quelques têtes ambrées). L’aspect sugar est magnifique, les buds brillent littéralement. - **Odeur** : Très agréable, sucrée, épicée et florale, typique de Sticky Broccoli. Puissante même après le flush. - **Résine** : Extrêmement résineuse au toucher – parfait pour du dry sift ou un petit Ice-o-Lator. - **Structure** : Belle densité globale, même si la taille individuelle des buds reste dans la moyenne haute pour la variété (pas les plus gros que j’ai vus, mais la qualité trichomale compense largement). - **Santé** : Plantes propres jusqu’à la fin, pas de carence visible. Le flush des 3 derniers jours (EC 0,7) a bien aidé à nettoyer les sels. **Clones** : Quelques clones prélevés plusieurs semaines auparavant ont été repiqués avec succès dans leur nouveau système. Ils sont bien enracinés et prêts à repartir pour un prochain cycle de végétation/floraison. La génétique est conservée ! ### Paramètres en Fin de Cycle (semaine 10) - Température jour/nuit : 19-21 °C / 14-15 °C - Humidité : 48-58 % jour / 29-39 % nuit - VPD : 0.9-1.3 kPa - PPFD : 550 (DLI 24) - UV : 90 min/jour - EC final : 1.0 puis flush à 0.7 (Terra Aquatica seul) - pH : 5.8-6.0 - Steering : génératif jusqu’à la fin - 48h de blackout avant récolte : appliqué pour booster la résine et améliorer la qualité des trichomes. ### Plans Post-Récolte - **Séchage** : 7-10 jours à 18-20 °C et 55-60 % d’humidité dans un espace sombre et ventilé. - **Curing** : Minimum 2-3 semaines en bocaux (burping régulier) pour affiner les terpènes et la douceur. Mise à jour dans 2 semaines avec le poids sec final. - **Utilisation** : Une partie en fleurs séchées/cure, et un petit batch pour **dry sift** + **Ice-o-Lator** (bubble hash) histoire de se régaler avec la résine exceptionnelle de cette Sticky Broccoli. **Tips éducatif final : Le flush et le blackout en fin de cycle** - **Flush** (3 derniers jours à EC très bas) : Permet d’éliminer les sels accumulés et améliore nettement le goût final (moins de chimie, plus de terpènes purs). - **48h de blackout** : Technique simple mais efficace qui stress légèrement la plante de manière positive, augmentant la production de résine et la clarté des trichomes juste avant la coupe. Ce fut un très beau cycle, propre et instructif malgré l’interruption due au botrytis. La qualité résineuse et l’odeur compensent largement. Merci à Zamnesia et Plagron pour le matos ! **#GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 #StickyBroccoli** Dans 2 semaines je mettrai à jour avec le poids sec et les premières impressions après curing. **Estimation du poids sec final** Avec **780 grammes de poids frais** (buds humides, après trim initial mais avant séchage complet), voici une estimation réaliste pour cette Sticky Broccoli : ### Estimation raisonnable - **Poids sec attendu** : **180 à 230 grammes** (environ **23-30 %** du poids frais). **Pourquoi cette fourchette ?** - Les buds frais contiennent typiquement 70-80 % d’eau. - Après un bon séchage (jusqu’à 10-12 % d’humidité résiduelle) + curing, il reste généralement **20-30 %** du poids humide initial. - 20 % → **156 g** (estimation basse, si buds très denses ou séchage poussé) - 25 % → **195 g** (estimation moyenne, la plus courante pour des buds compacts comme les tiens) - 30 % → **234 g** (estimation haute, si les buds retiennent un peu plus d’humidité ou sont particulièrement résineux) Tes buds étant décrits comme **denses, très collants et frosty**, je pencherais plutôt vers le **milieu/haut de la fourchette** : **190-220 grammes** une fois bien secs et cured. ### Facteurs qui influenceront le résultat final - **Qualité du séchage** : Température 18-20 °C, humidité 50-60 %, bonne circulation d’air sans vent direct → perte d’eau progressive et uniforme. - **Trim** : Si tu as fait un wet trim assez serré, le poids sec sera un peu plus bas que si tu as laissé plus de sugar leaves. - **Densité des buds** : Plus ils sont compacts et résineux, moins ils perdent de poids relatif (mais ils sèchent parfois un peu plus lentement). - **Curing** : Pendant les 2-4 semaines en bocaux, tu perdras encore un peu d’humidité, mais le poids se stabilisera. ### Prochaines étapes 1. **Séchage** : 7-10 jours jusqu’à ce que les tiges cassent net (pas pliables). 2. **Curing** : Minimum 2 semaines (idéalement 4+) avec burping quotidien au début. 3. **Pesée finale** : Une fois le poids stabilisé (après 2 semaines de curing),

im literally seeing them once a week. growth exploded since last week. started giving pk booster by hand watering. buds start to form. defoliated lots of fan leaves. first compost tee is being brewed.

Wooow.... real uplifting smoke.. very easy to grow, and extremely fast finish 👽 Test smoke at my birthday 😋BIG THICK HARD AND HEAVY BUDS !!

8. Woche So langsam wird es was mit Titan F1 von RQS. Denke 2-3 Wochen noch, dann ist sie rdy to Harvest 😍
