This baby is going good, thricoms production and smell on point👌 The main cola is growing very big, I'm so hyped about it 😝 Some of the leaves are becoming yellow and i saw some signs od deficiency of some sort but I'm not worried because she is near the harvest, I think another 2 weeks and I'll chop it: Sorry for the low quality of the photos, next time I'm gonna use a better camera.

Week 3 flower. Day 15. Great white ph water feed. Shes moving fast now. Raised the lights slightly. Want a little more stretch for spacing. Clone is in 2nd week of flower. She has her first balls. Will isolate her tonight in a small tent. Lights burn the shit out of any collidial silver spray leaves. Makes the plant very sensitive. Going to use a lamp light 😁 Praying 🙏 Day 18 frost appears. 5 more weeks of winter 🙌

28/04/2021 Ya comenzaron a comer muy bien! La semana que viene se agregan unas galponeras y luego se trasplanta a la cantela. Teniendo en cuenta la luna, estaríamos trasplantando el jueves o viernes de la semana próxima. 03/05/2021 Tres plantas de las mas viejas comenzaron a amarillentas un poco, se estima que fue por una alta temperatura el fin de semana. Veremos que sucede mañana al aplicar el combo de MEN de viejo brujo.

Week has had ups and downs🙃 Plants seem to be growing fine 🙂 But there is yellowing and spotting still that I cannot resolve.🙄 Day 22- Still having some kind of deficiency/issue. They are growing well, don't really seem to be stunted. I think I may have burnt them with nutes.🤧 Flushing may help. 🤷‍♂️😅 Run-off pH is at 6.08, PPM 266 I have flushed them, lowered feeding... I'm driving myself crazy. Hahaha Update 119 Day 23- Things are looking better. I definitely have been overfeeding them.😅 They are responding well to half nutes.🙌 Issues seem to be getting much better. Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

Day 39 to 46 of flower Basically the girls are on autopilot, with the autopots and Gaia green there really isn't much to do, both methods are super user friendly and the basic needs that need to be meet are just ph water in the reservoir every couple days and then watch them stack buds on top of buds...Occasionally I move a branch over to another square in the net to make room but Basically after the last top feeding it's just watch and weight, pun intended....

5/26/21 Week 3 of flower. PH 5.96 tds 735. Going to have to figure out how to lower canopy. Plant has grown way more then expected. 5/27/21 PH 5.8 TDS 760. Plant seems to have stopped her stretch thank goodness 😅. Seems to have drank alot of water, reserves depleted by half. She missed her foliar feeding, recharge, and water change yesterday as I was away. She will get all that later this evening. After next Saturday I will discontinue the canopy boost. Look at the size of that stalk! Changed nutrient water PH 6.02 tds 750 recieved recharge and foliar feed. 5/29/21 PH 5.98 TDS 740 Gave last foliar feeding. Gave 2 quarts recharge. Tied branches down. 5/30/21 PH 5.86 TDS 740 Added water to reserves PH 5.96 TDS 780. Plant has drank half. Readjusted some of the ties. Added a third fan for circulation. Trimmed some suckers that I missed. 6/1/21 filled reserves PH 5.98 TDS 780

——GENERAL COMMENT—— So end of the third week, -1day, so we are in day 20 since sprought. Big difference between the two girls, one is developing like crazy shooting up stems, drinking a lot, and the cousin is more chilled taking her time. ——RQS EASY QUICK ONE—— I think my grow can be defined as ying-yang, one is coming problematic from seed the other is superb lol... Anyhow lets battle for life and maybe I will be surprised at the end? So the first set of leaves are gone spotted, they were born with some markings like scratches, honestly never have seen something like that... The spotting developed as calcium deficiency which is kind of impossible by the age and also the light organic soil that gives a bit of feeding out of the box. It might be the pheno, the dry weather, the led, honestly I don't really know, drop a comment if you have a guess, contribution is always welcome! For the rest I pause the regimen till i figure what a hack is going on, and just gave a very light dose of big bloom, seen is light and organic, and supplemented with cal mag, thats it for the feeding, today seams do be everything ok and I will start the Sensi bloom regimen asap.

🌸 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.

✅ Wedding Cake Auto – Final Harvest Report: Finished harvesting the remainder of my Wedding Cake auto. Main cola was taken earlier at peak cloudy with some early ambers (~10–15%) for a more balanced effect. The rest of the plant was allowed to mature further and came down with roughly 20–25% amber trichomes. Bud density was excellent across the mid and lower branches — structure held up well without support. She was grown fully organic — no synthetic inputs — in living soil amended with bone meal during flower. Dried at ~70°F / 50% RH for a slow 7-day dry. Cure will begin this week in Grove Bags (1 oz size). Aroma leans toward earthy-sweet with some gassy backend as she dries. 👑 Special Queen #1 Auto – Ongoing Flower: This plant has been a beast. She’s in the latter half of flower now with impressive lateral branching and heavy stacking across all colas. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few early ambers showing on the top-most bud sites, so I’ll be continuing her for another week or two to hit my preferred heavy amber target for a deeper effect. She’s bounced back from early lockout and transplant stress after being moved into ~8 gal of fresh FoxFarm soil with top-dressed organics. Water-only since week 5, and she’s thriving. 🌿 Notes: This run has really dialed in my process — organic medium, minimal inputs, and clean environment. Next steps will be sanitation, tent reset, and prepping for my upcoming tester autos.

Hey everyone, so far everything is fine. “Iris” is weakening. But she did that from the start. I don't have much hope for her either. But let's see. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Reviewing the plants i noted some small dots on the leaves which looked like typical bites from mites, so i sprayed some spidermite and we placed around 6 spical ulti-mite bags to prevent any further damage, lets hope it dont get worse but i think I've detected them just on time 😁 For the rest the plants are looking good, the buds are getting bigger and more thc is being produced 😁 we still have around 4 weeks to go 😅

week 2 six shooter in vertafort So this i either the smallest pheno of the three already, or simply one that didnt take to the transplant very well or maybe myfault if it got molested somehow. Anyway it's the wettest on the hygrometer scale still the earth got a bit compacted i guess, shame because most of the work will be going on down there after all. with the fan fixed now pointing directly up, might get the vpd up a bit, this six shooter is the only six shooter out of the three with a leaf temp at -3 , my bottom half purple cous kush, fbt 5 and fbt 1 are all at - 3 too. ah well, i've seen worse problems. she'll get topped up with light mix, watered with cal mag and aloe gel , for now she got one kelp spray this week pHed to 6.0 with GHE dry pH down at 0.1 grams for 250ml with cal mag in it at half a spoonful. spraying the soil with amino acid concentrate a 0.25ml for 250ml to try to rectify the pH of the soil after i "missed" a lot with the spray and it got to my soil. can't wait to start co2 that's it !

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Here e go, last week for the final flush. Piece of cake! 👋 Went in with the overdrive. I noticed some buildup in the runoff as the EC is testing high, little overfeed so I will water with, PH water + Recharge, might cut the Sensi and go with big bloom in this last feed week. Feeding every other day, gave a shoot in constant feeding, alternating the Base+Recharge+PK and the VeloKelp + Natures Candy in the other. Did not need more CalMag. No deficiencies, or spotting, they are growing nicely. ------SM.BB COMMENT------ This girl has less colas but is more resistant to the "diet" I gave than her cousin. I feel like 60gr+ on this girl.
