I laughed maybe once or twice.

Given that it is supposed to be a comedy in space, that really isn't a
great review.

Kind of The Office on the bridge of the Enterprise D, but without the
laughs.

How does a redwood tree grow to 100s of feet tall in a matter of seconds without any inputs?

It was explained in the dialogue. The researchers said that the
redwood seed was:

...genetically engineered with tardigrade DNA, which means it can
survive and grow in anything. Rock, metal, sand. It can exist a
hundred years without water. You can toss this seed in the middle of
the Sahara, and in a century have a towering redwood.

which would seem to explain how the tree would grow despite not
getting Earth's nutrients and sunlight.

A few minutes later they showed the "quantum bubble that can be
adjusted to accelerate time" (later confirmed again by Dr. Aronov
during the ship-to-ship battle scene) which would cover how the tree
grew so quickly.

Then they put the two together, which is what one can reasonably
expect from an entertaining sci-fi show.
