First week of 12/12 cycle, no sign of flowering yet, but plant is doing very well. No major stretch as I hoped, but hopefully next week. Not much to say really this week.

Week 8 Looking absolutely huge😂 They’re so tall and wide . Lots of healthy green leaves and strong roots. I was worrying a lot about sex issues as when I did my research I found out they’re quite common to hermaphrodite. Was really worrying but all calyx’s have female signs (so far🙏🏻) so pray for me brothers&sisters.

4/30 one of the plants has actually visibly stretched more in the last 48 hrs. Starting to impress me with the pistols. Still way smaller than their projections online but whatever 🤷🏽‍♂️ 5/4 end of the week and I’m pretty okay with their size now 😂 they went through a sizable stretch. I’ll have to get my measuring tape back in the tent because each time I’m adding to this diary, I question whether I’m on the right week or not because they look like dwarfs compared to the end of the week

Ola 🙂... the two sisters grow up very well ... first time I try them.. the seeds were given to me by the boy from the grow shop, after buy some Barney's seeds .. With them, under the 205 BD LED light, there is also the sister, who can actually find in the diary SUPER SOIL LED (if you want to see the differences) 😉... 5th week started by giving him a nice lunch based on banana macerate (10 days to macerate), about 0.5 in 1.5l h2o .. pH I never check it when I am using a ready-made soil .. the water I use is quite good and does not contain chlorine (fundamental in organic) .. it has a pH always around 6.5 / 7.5 and is ok ... afterwards I only gave h2o to drink for once, again without letting it come out of the bottom of the vase .. two days after treacle-based sweet like the past week .. this time I gave 1 teaspoon apiece (they will be about 5ml, I think, but that's okay) in 1.5l h2o ... time after still water .. and today, Friday 27th, I finely chopped a bit of barley malt and I made a top dressing, wetting with water in mix with 3ml topmax for 3l h2o, to increase the malt action .. I see just one or two thrips every now and then, but I'm under control .. I have not used anything to drive them out .. only the fan always on and the humidity left slightly higher ... They start to smell good and very sticky too .. I don't know how to describe the aroma at the moment .. sweet .. but complex .. we'll see .. hi, thanks for the time 🙏 and tell me if you like it ... See you next week😉✌️

Buenas tardess , esta semana ya las saque todas a florar a exterior porq pintaban dias lindos jaja y ahora esta lloviendo desde ayer 😆 igual bien, venian a puro ferti les va a hacer bien aguita de lluvia. La mas adelantada es la think, van mas gorditos pero no me gusta mucho su estructura, tiene flores muy aisladas, veremos como avanzan las demas pero las critical moby y bdom tienen mejor pinta linda forma mas arbustito sin tanta distancia internodal. Por suerte no les afecto el cambio, se recuperaron al toque

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

Fun time with this gal overall! Definitely going to go for a proper run of BanDad, not 12/12 from seed - next. Didn't yield much individually, but between all 4 plants it added up to be a decent bit. Already got another BanDad in my veg tent at about week 5!

* ********* Week 7 - May 23 to 29, 2020 - Day 43 to 49 ********** * Good veg week but was expecting more of a flower week😒 Pulled them out and did some stripping. Buds not setting and these two girls are not flipping like the other autos on the go. Patience not being one of my strong suits, in the past I moved plants around into lower light intensity and it helped them to set their buds. These girls bud sites were not setting in early this week so the girls were put into the veg tent and put into a 12/12 light cycle, Wednesday Day 47. They stayed this way the rest of the week. The other girls are well on their way and these two girls are not coming along. Forcing them to set their buds into 12/12 becuase they all flower at that point😃 I could work on being patient and give them another week or two as some strains just take that long...........45 days though for these girls and most flip by this time. Other than my lack of patience the growth is doing well and GSC is doing well and growing out of her funk from the transplant more. Looking rather odd with the roots wrapping over her.......poor girl......we will love her and look after her and in the end smoke the shit out of her frosty buds😂😂😂 Little more detail........ May 23/20 - Day 43 - GSC feed only - 5L with Velokelp, Massive @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Rezin, Liquid Wt, Sensyzime @ 1ml = 750ppm and 5.9pH - GSC has some hairs popping out over night. She is looking healthy today. - GSC2 is fighting it all. She has been though a lot. She is taller now and wider but her bud sites “floppy” looking and pistols not plentiful yet. May 24/20 - Day 44 - dry out day - Moved GSC girls into Veg tent today - problem is the humidity is only 50% and temp is only 73 degrees. May 25/20 - Day 45 - water in the morning.....did a leaf strip int he afternoon......an evening watering with Vitamin B to calm them down a bit. - 7:30am - 2L each with Sensyzime, Piranha, rhino skin, Rezin @ 1.5ml = 335ppm and 5.9pH - the microbes and enzymes😃👍 - 8:30pm - 2L each with Vitathrive & VeloKelp @ 1.5ml = 350ppm and 5.8pH - got some seaweed in there as well to calm them down........4L total in one day is not over doing it and with such low ppm. - GSC is much thinner in appearance now. - GSC2 is tough to do much. Stripped some inner growth but just need her to get bigger overall in order to clean her up properly. May 26/20 - Day 46 - dry out day. - GSC was moved back into the flower tent last night. Just give her the time she needs to transition, - Left GSC2 in veg tent alone for now. - GSC is 17” tall and GSC2 is still at 11” range. May 27/20 - Day 47 - feed day for only GSC - she was given 3L with Bud Ignitor @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Piranha @ 1ml = 875ppm and 6.0pH - GSC2 was still heavy to lift. - Moved GSC back into the veg tent and set the light cycle at 12/12 to ensure she flips. - GSC2 is looking stagnant. May 28/20 - Day 48 - GSC2 needs watering as its been two days. - 2L given with Massive @ 4ml. Vitathrive, Sensyzime @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 1350ppm and 6.0pH. - added another 0.5L of water to bring down the ppm to 1100........was too high. - GSC is looking a little more relaxed today. No bud sites yet.....only one night though, - GSC2 is looking more like she is transitioning though😀 - Will give them a couple of days at the reduced light cycle. May 29/20 - Day 49 - dry out day - girls still in veg tent under same light cycle. - feel like GSC has grown bigger but no bud sites yet,

This girl has gotten exceptionally thick and juicy over the last two weeks, and she WREAKS of juicy fruit gum and pungent gas. The trichome coverage is rivaling double grape at this point, and I’m more than ecstatic that I’ve got 4 more beans of this left! I might top her next time around, I’ll probably get a more even canopy that way. Either way I’m very happy with her :)

Week 7 Flower — Sundae Driver (Grow Diaries Report) Quick recap for new readers From seed to here, this run has been a careful dance between living soil, precision feeding, and adaptive training: • Seeds germinated with Aptus support, then transplanted directly into 11L fabric pots of enriched soil. • Minimal veg — early switch to flower under 11/13 schedule. • One tall “moon-shot” top supercropped early in flower to control height and redirect hormones → result: knuckle healed beautifully, more bud sites formed. • Feeding has been a Plagron + Aptus combo, alternating between soil-driven nutrition and steering solutions, keeping EC and pH carefully managed. • By Week 6, we saw resin pouring in, trichomes swelling, pistils still pushing white, and strong aroma developing. Now, in Week 7, we are right in the heart of bulking. ⸻ Environmental update • Outside: brutal heatwave (temps up to ~45°C / 110°F). • Grow space: thanks to AC, canopy temps hold around 28°C with the lung room at ~21.8°C. • Humidity: still high, ~62%. Ideally we’d want 45–55% at this stage, but the girls are adapting beautifully — no visible signs of mold or rot, airflow and plant vigor are keeping them safe. • Tools: Trolmaster and Spider Farmer apps logged to share transparent data. ⸻ Feeding & recipe this week You’ve reintroduced the All-in-One liquid into the Plagron + Aptus recipe, pushing EC slightly higher again for an extra boost: • Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation → stacking, sugars, and bloom density. • Aptus Regulator + CalMag Boost → structural strength, stress resilience, mineral balance. • All-in-One liquid → full-spectrum nudge to keep driving flower bulking. This “soil-first, solution-steering” approach works perfectly here. The soil still holds a strong base load (your earlier EC readings confirmed this), and the solution acts like an accelerator without overloading. ⸻ Plant performance & structure • Bulking: Both Sundae Drivers are filling out massively — flowers are swelling, colas thickening, side branches almost unable to hold themselves upright. • Support: You’ve improvised by tying branches to each other, preventing collapse. This is a classic late-flower “good problem”: weight means density. • Supercrop site: completely healed, producing solid flower along the bent top and nearby branches. A textbook example of how to redirect growth without losing yield. • Color: Leaves still lush green, minimal fade — showing balanced feeding and no major deficiencies. ⸻ Trichomes & pistils — where we stand • Trichomes: Frost is stacking heavy — from sugar leaves to outer calyxes, a shimmering coat is spreading. Under magnification, most heads are clear-to-cloudy, with some areas beginning to lean more cloudy. Amber not yet common — perfect for Week 7. • Pistils: Still plenty of white hairs, but we’ll begin to see darkening and curling soon as calyxes mature and resin production peaks. • Meaning: Plants are still actively in the bulking/resin-factory stage. Harvest is not yet — but we’re entering the critical monitoring phase. ⸻ What Week 7 means (technically) This is the late bulking / mid-ripening window. • Calyxes expand → actual bud density increases. • Terpenes develop rapidly → strong smells, unique cultivar expression. • Resin pathways peak activity → cannabinoids build, but need 1–2+ more weeks to fully mature. • Risk window for botrytis → high humidity + dense colas = careful airflow essential. ⸻ What to expect next week Expect: • Noticeable increase in aroma — terpenes often “pop” around Week 8. • Trichomes shifting more to cloudy; a few ambers may begin depending on genetics. • Pistils starting to darken and recede, giving buds a more “finished” look. • Possible leaf fade (yellowing from the bottom up) as mobile nutrients are pulled into flowers. Don’t expect (yet): • Full amber trichome maturity — too early. • True “final swell” — that’s more Weeks 8–9+. • Safe humidity window — continue to monitor closely, as the dense colas can surprise you. ⸻ Practical checklist for Week 7 • Support colas: stake, tie, or net if branches keep falling. Weight will only increase. • Dehumidify if possible: even a small drop to ~55% would reduce risk of bud rot. • Airflow: max canopy circulation; keep oscillating fans moving air through colas, not just over them. • Microscope/loupe checks: continue logging trichomes daily or every other day — aim for a clear photographic timeline. • Smell watch: sudden changes in aroma (musty instead of fruity/sweet) can be early warning of mold. • Continue balanced feeding: don’t pull nutrients too early — Week 7 is still active bulking. ⸻ Reflection — the beauty of Week 7 Both Sundae Drivers are now showing their full potential: heavy colas, strong resin, vibrant health despite high heat and humidity challenges. This week is less about intervention and more about careful support: holding up branches, keeping airflow right, and letting the plants finish their masterpiece. The photos and videos (especially the behind-the-scenes “hands and camera” shots) add a human touch to the diary, it’s not just about the plants, but about the grower’s relationship with them. That connection, plus the technical details, is what makes our journey so special. ⸻ Gratitude & closing Week 7 is a turning point, the moment where patience pays off, where you get to watch the plants finish their story. Thank you to Plagron and Aptus for the tools, and thank you to the community who reads, comments, and shares this journey. We are almost there, but not yet.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. 🌱✨ For those of you who are afraid of trying out super cropping, this diary is living proof that it works. The bent stem bounced back stronger, healed into a solid knuckle, and rewarded us with extra bud sites and bigger flowers. Don’t fear new techniques. If your plant is stretching too much, or if you want to unlock more yield, super cropping is a safe, effective way to train her. Trust your plants, trust the process, they’re stronger than you think.
