The plants are on the final stretch in flower. I’m still working on getting the calmag up to make the ladies look nicer. Overall I’m happy with these aircubes. The ladies grow extremely fast in them.

The plants are doing amazing! Both are producing more and more trichomes, and the buds are noticeably thickening up.🌱 #1 (the tall one) continues to impress—it’s now giving off a strong tropical mango scent! The aroma is so sweet and fruity, it’s crazy. Meanwhile, #2, despite being so small, has developed a surprisingly large main bud! The smell is completely different, though—leaning more towards a hazy, complex scent that’s hard to describe.🤔 Super happy with the progress so far—let’s see what the next weeks bring!😊

CBD Blue Shark Day 21 - 2020.01.21: Hello friends, I'm sorry for being delinquent in commenting on this grow; I got hit by a car last autumn and I'm still struggling a bit with depression and anxiety (hence the weed!). Let me assure you that the Shishkaberry from last year was very helpful 😌 So to begin with I have to thank Barney's Farm for their great genetics. These seeds can be found as part of their High CBD Cannabis Strains Collection: https://www.barneysfarm.com/cbd-blue-shark-11 Ok, all 3 young plants are doing well at the end of the third week (calculated from when the taproots were put into the Jiffys). This week I started the regular fertigation schedule for the vegetative period. I'm getting very precise with the measuring of the nutrients, I'm using some industrial syringes for accuracy like Dr. Coco recommends. The TDS is high - I'm working on it. Next week I think they'll be ready to top to begin the HST. Alright gang, I'll close for now, with love. 😊

Things are moving along in flower. Really pleased how these Rainbow Pie girls are really bulking up. They all seem to be praying up to the light and happy. the wedding cake pheno ended up being a real stretcher. She was the shortest plant before flipping into flower.

The colours are popping! I’ve started to taper off the nutrients, I don’t typically “flush” the plants, but rather taper nutrients down until I have been able to give straight phd water for the last 3-4 feeds, making sure to water until I get about 5-10% runoff. I’ve tried both methods , the other being that I pour like 10 gallons of water through the plant, and I can’t tell the difference with my smoke, still clean and very tasty. I did a small defoliation at the end of the week, and added a support pole for the 1 lady in the far back, she was already starting to lean… just a couple of weeks to go !

🌸 Sundae Driver — Week 9 Flower / Week 12 From Seed When the plant decides it’s time… you listen! Another beautiful, crazy, unforgettable week in our Sundae Driver adventure! The tent has been full of aromas, colors, and emotions — and this week brought a little surprise twist. Our Pheno #2, the bold one, the heavy one, decided she couldn’t hold her own weight anymore and literally bowed to gravity. When I arrived, half of her was on the ground, saying: “It’s time, my friend. Harvest me.” And honestly, she was right. Perfect trichomes, perfect colors — it was exactly her moment. So, we harvested her with love, laughter, and respect. Sometimes, nature tells you what to do, and all you can do is listen. We didn’t dry her whole as we usually do — since she broke herself in half, we had to go with a different approach this time. A reminder that every grow has its own personality and surprises. We took it as part of the adventure and had a good laugh about it — because in the end, that’s what growing is: learning, adapting, and enjoying every step. Meanwhile, her sister Pheno #3 is still standing tall and absolutely shining. She’s thriving under the LUMATEK, with her buds swelling beautifully, trichomes sparkling like sugar dust, and her structure holding strong (for now!). 🌱 Nutrients & Environment This week we’re keeping the mix balanced — still using the Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, together with Aptus Regulator and CalMag Boost. Our pH sits nicely around 6.1, EC around 0.7, and the soil is still rich enough to carry the girls through these final stages. Temperatures hover around 28°C, humidity slightly high at 60+, but both phenos have been adapting beautifully. 🌿 About the Harvest For Pheno #2 — the early harvest wasn’t planned, but it turned out perfect. The trichomes were milky with just a few ambers, the aroma intense, and the density incredible. This shows that sometimes the plants truly know best. Her colas were so heavy they couldn’t stand anymore — that’s a good problem to have! 💪 Super Crop & Structure The earlier super crop training clearly paid off — the buds on the bent tops were some of the thickest and frostiest of all. It’s beautiful to see how resilience leads to strength; those stress points turned into power centers for growth. 🧠 What to Expect & What Not to Expect • Expect Pheno #3 to keep maturing beautifully over the next week or two — trichomes are developing wonderfully, and aromas are getting more complex by the day. • Don’t expect her to rush. She’s taking her sweet time, and that’s perfectly fine — every flower deserves her full moment. • Expect me to keep double-checking the branches — after what happened with #2, I’m making sure no more girls decide to “self-harvest” behind my back. 😂 💬 P.S. — About Holding the Weight For those reading this — always support your branches properly during late flower! When the buds get heavy (and believe me, they will), the stems can only handle so much. It’s always better to tie, stake, or net them before nature makes the decision for you. Trust me, it’s a funny story after the fact… but quite the shock when you find half your plant bowing to the floor. 💬 P.P.S. — About Super Cropping & Experimentation For anyone afraid to try new techniques — this is living proof that super cropping works beautifully and that plants are incredibly resilient. Don’t be afraid to experiment, to bend, to learn, and to adapt. Each grow is a new journey, and your plants will always reward your courage with lessons and beauty. 💚 Final Words & Gratitude As always, I want to send a massive thank-you to everyone following this journey — the readers, growers, dreamers, learners, and friends who stop by the diary. Your presence, comments, and good vibes make this all worthwhile. A special thanks to Zamnesia for the genetics, LUMATEK LED for the incredible light performance, Plagron and Aptus Holland for the outstanding nutrients and additives, and of course TrollMaster for helping keep everything perfectly dialed in. And to everyone out there — whether you’re just starting or have been growing for years — remember that every plant, every week, every harvest teaches something new.

We enter the second full week of flower. I went and got some nutes to start adding in sparingly to the watering sessions. Mild mix from Foxfarms of their Tiger Bloom formula. I didn't catch that the large plant's leaves were curling pretty tellingly so I didn't realize I was about to overload the nutes for that plant when I should have been flushing for a week. I had supercropped this large plant as it was 6" taller than the others but it bounced back so quickly. Five colas snapped and turned 90 degrees, bounced back in a day or two. It did allow the others to catch up a bit. I find that the one potential male I removed was 100 a male as it now had well developed pollen sacs. I had this plant outside alonside the other two potential herm/males. I put the two questionable ones on the roof and chopped the male down.

I think I started flushing to early, back to feeding for 2 more weeks then I will flush, I goofed on the flowering time I did not take into consideration the veg time for 4 weeks so my harvest is more like a month out I see some yellowing in the lower leaves these nugs need to put on some weight so back to feeding. I scrapped the SCROG and the Blue Dream. Some new pics and some new time-lapse. A small tribute to one of the greatest Drummers in the world. RIP Neil Peart. they are starting to smell a little stronger. I hope I did not mess these up gave them a diluted feeding today 1/11/20 and soaked the whole pot till run off, PH was 6.1 PPM was 1780 lets see what happens this week. Trichomes are looking milky and a few amber, I want to see next week if it puts on any more weight, Got a good comment on my question regarding early feeding and stunting the growth Thanks GD Community. I will try not to RUSH these ladies and give them a little more time. 🙏
