I missed to take some fotos ore a video. So I chooses to show where the soil is made: in Comfreys garden. Unfortunately I‘m not allowed to grow there my weed. It‘s a community garden with privat owned ground but with a lot of neighbors. The German law allows to grow cannabis in your own garden for private use but not in a private garden situated in a community garden club (Kleingartenverein). But anyway I’m lucky because we have a very sunny balcony, too. Next week more fotos…

🌱 WEEK 14 FROM SEED — WEEK 11 FLOWER THE GRAND FINALE HARVEST REPORT — SUNDAY DRIVER (Zamnesia Seeds) A full-circle recap, a celebration of two phenotypes, and the sweetest ending imaginable. 🌸 A Quick Recap — From Seed to Here (For Anyone Just Joining Now) This run has been 14 weeks of joy, learning, surprises, heavy colas, and crazy beauty. Two phenotypes, two personalities, one shared soul. From day one, these girls impressed with: Fast germination Explosive early growth Huge stretch A super crop that healed perfectly Dense, deeply frosted flowers Towering structure A sweet, fruity, unmistakable terp profile This entire diary was a ride, and today: we close it properly. 🌿 The Final Weeks — Frost, Weight & Pure Beauty By the end of week 11 flower, both phenos were massive, fully packed, and dripping in trichomes. You could see: full resin heads thick frost rails on sugar leaves swollen calyxes and an aroma that filled the room before you even touched them These were big, heavy lifters. And we had to support branches constantly — if not, they’d bend or snap from the weight. Pheno #2 literally harvested herself from being too heavy. 🌙 The Harvest — One Gentle, One… Dramatic Pheno #2 snapped her main branches under the weight of her own colas. We walked into the tent and found her lying on the floor saying: “It’s time.” We listened. Pheno #3 remained strong, standing tall until the end of week 11 flower, finishing beautifully and perfectly ripe. Both were harvested with care, love, and laughter. Drying — The Classic 60/60 Two-Week Method We dried slow and steady: 60% humidity 60°F / 15–16°C ~14 days hanging upside down Why? Because this method preserves absolutely everything: flavor terpenes smoothness color burn quality potency No shortcuts. Just pure quality. ✂️ Trimming — All by Hand, As It Should Be After two weeks, the flowers were ready for trimming. We used: professional curved-point scissors gloves the Trim Bin gentle hands and a fully clean environment Why hand trim? Protects trichomes Respects the bud shape Avoids bruising Keeps the final product premium The trim was also collected — and it was beautiful, sticky, full of crystals. 🌈 Final Weights — Official Numbers Here are the correct finished, dried, trimmed, and cured weights: Pheno #2: 166 grams Pheno #3: 159 grams 🔥 Total: 325 grams of premium, candy-sweet Sunday Driver flowers This is an exceptional yield for two plants, especially with this type of dense, terp-loaded structure. 🍦 Aroma & Flavor Report — “True Sunday Driver” Aroma (Before Grind): Candy-sweet Tropical fruits Grapes Berries A hint of creamy vanilla Slight floral freshness The moment you open the jar, the room goes fruity instantly. Sticky, loud, full-body terp presence. Aroma (After Grind): Ice cream sweetness Citrus zest Sugary candy Notes of pastry cream A subtle earthy undertone that gives balance Flavor (On Inhale): Smooth fruit sorbet Creamy berry yogurt Sweet citrus glaze Candy-coated sweetness Flavor (On Exhale): Soft vanilla Sugary fruit leather Sweet grape peel Dessert-like finish Overall Impression: This is exactly why the strain is called Sunday Driver. It’s slow, sweet, comfortable, and perfect for an easy Sunday ride through your feelings. Every puff is a dessert — full, thick, smooth, and incredibly enjoyable. 💨 Effects — Balanced & Beautiful Sunday Driver delivers: calm relaxation a warm mental uplift stress relief peaceful creativity no anxiety no heaviness a comfortable floaty happiness Perfect for: • evenings • social fun • creative time • gaming • movies • relaxing with music A feel-good hybrid in every sense. Curing — Groove Bags & UV-Proof Jars We cured everything using: Groove Bags (technology that stabilizes humidity automatically) UV-proof jars (protects cannabinoids and terpenes from light damage) Why this method? No burping needed Long-term freshness Zero mold risk Terpenes remain sharp and bright Jars maintain perfect darkness, keeping potency intact The result? Two phenotypes that cured into identical-looking, identical-smelling, identical-quality medicine. 🌱 Reflecting Back — What This Grow Taught This run showed: Sunday Driver genetics are strong, resilient, and heavy hitters Super cropping works Supporting branches is not optional Aptus + Plagron = incredible synergy Good environment + good genetics = magic Slow dry + long cure = perfection These were some of the heaviest colas grown in this room so far. ❤️ Thank You — To Everyone A deep thank you to: The entire GrowDiaries community The new growers The OGs The silent readers The lovers The haters The curious ones The platform Our sponsors Zamnesia genetics GrowLED ThinkGrow LED TrolMaster Future of Grow Everyone who supported, commented, viewed, or followed This diary was written with love, passion, and honesty — and we share it with everyone. 📌 PS — Support Your Branches If your plants get heavy — support everything. Use yo-yos, bamboo, nets, anything. Heavy buds are a blessing, but without support, they will break Pheno #2 is proof — she took herself out by collapsing under her own beauty. 📌 PSPS — Don’t Be Afraid of Super Cropping If you ever hesitated about super cropping: don’t. This diary shows it works flawlessly. It increases yield, controls stretch, and opens the canopy.

Day 29 fm seed/Week 1 flower: I did some LST/HST to the plants to try to even out the canopy. The light is set to 80% and is creating some good growing conditions. Flower has started and most of the plants are showing little bud clusters and pistils. They are starting to smell already, just mild skunkiness. I say this every time, but there are some super short plants like the skunk and tall lanksters like the Blackberry. There is some stacking on some and mega stretch on others, such is the case when you grow 7 different genetics. It’s all good tho, we’ll train them up. Did some leaf tucking and removed a couple beastly light and site blocking fans. Other than that we’re just gonna watch and see how this plays out. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Happy Growing 🌱

Germinated the seeds and worked on the grow closet (these will be growing in my bedroom closet) The watering setup is two 5gal buckets with PVC fitted a half inch from the bottom of the bucket, with a P trap pipe connecting it to a shared 5gal reservoir with an air stone (one will be run to each bucket to be extra safe from stagnant water) and 2 pond pumps to deliver water to the base of the plant. Nutrients added after wool placed into baskets on Day 4.

Keine großen Veränderungen in der ersten Blütewoche, ich habe nur den lästigen großen Ventilator entfernt, da er mir zu viel Platz auf der Bodenfläche genommen hat und am Ende der ersten Woche habe ich das Blattwerk ein wenig ausgedünnt, mal sehen wie sich das auf die weitere Blüte auswirkt.

Las plantas se ven bien, hice una pequeña defoliacion para sacar las hojas grandes que hacian sombra directamente sobre otras ramas. Ademas quite algunas de abajo que me complicaban un poco a la hora de regar.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 Tercera semana de floración, la planta ha estirado los últimos 2cm, ahora, con la fiesta de la flor comienza el gran juego de los pecados capitales, gula para engordar, avaricia de espacio, más adelante vendrá la lujuria en su esplendor y la soberbia para dominar, la pereza de manicurar y finalmente la ira cuando me la fume toda, no espero a la envidia... Bueno, la planta vive feliz en su esquina, es una glotona, además de dos riegos esta semana he hecho un aporte de enmiendas secas cocinadas con Microorganismos, 4g/litro de sustrato, rodeada de luz, las ramas se muestran poderosas y capaces de soportar el peso de cualquier cogollo por muy grande que sea, los brotes inmaculados resaltan como estrellas, aunque esta planta por su morgología perdió el lugar central de la carpa de cultivo, sigue siendo la reina de mi jardín de la alegría... aleluya! ================== Info de la cepa Mendo T: https://www.thehighchameleon.com/es/shop/mendo-t-6#attr=202 - 85% Indica, 15% Sativa.

Week 9 (20/03 - 26/03) The past week everything went good and quiet. In the tent the smell started to be stronger, more mature and pleasant. Flowers seem to be healthy and succulent. The fat banana #2 started to yellow, so I suppose that she is some days forward than the others, especially with respect of the Blue cheese. Starting from this week I will start to check the trichomes. 20/03 D57: - 21/03 D58: added 1ml of Bio-grow, 4ml of Bio-bloom and 3ml of Top-max to 3 liters of tap water @ pH 6.2 22/03 D59: 1 liter of tap water each @pH 6.2. Trichomes seems to be clear for the most. 23/03 D60: added 1ml of Bio-grow, 4ml of Bio-bloom and 3ml of Top-max to 3 liters of tap water @ pH 6.2 24/03 D61: - 25/03 D62: added 1ml of Bio-grow, 3ml of Bio-bloom and 3ml of Top-max to 3 liters of tap water @ pH 6.3 26/03 D63: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.2

Stretch is mostly through, so this week I started them on the pink miracle juice. Flowering is progressing nicely, especially trichome-wise. I also see some darker colors on the edges of some leafs! Her buds seem to have an interesting morphology - very excited to see what they look like in harvest week. No defoliation this week! 😬

Currently checking daily and tying away branches/leaves to give the buds more light and watering when the soil is dry. Currently my plants drink exactly 1,5L a day. I have the feeling that the right plant is lacking a bit of potassium. I'll leave everything as it is for now because the left plant (fresh new soil) is growing well. Since the right plant is quite bushy anyway, I'll defoliate it again later and remove any lower shoots. I started adding the Bio PK booster towards the middle of the first week of flowering, 2ml per liter of water; as the pH value drops too much, I correct it upwards with Biobizz pH up - from pH 5.5 to 6.5 for 3L, I add a total of 39 drops. My water is mixed as follows: 3L osmosis water, plus 6ml CalMag, 6ml BioPK 5-8 and 39 drops of pH + BioBizz.

⚗️ FERMAKOR – Neutralisation & Filtering (Final Stage) 🧠 “From reactor to bottle — the first real batch.” --- 18.10.25 — Pulled about 1L of the finished FERMAKOR extract into a 5L bucket and added roughly 2L of clean water. Let it sit for a bit to calm down and cool off before touching the pH. Sample came back around pH 6.8–7, totally non-caustic — exactly what I wanted before acidifying for storage. Started adding phosphoric acid (59%) slow and steady, stirring between each pour. Ended up using about 50ml total before the colour flipped red on the GHE drops, landing the mix right around pH 3–3.5. No foam, no violent reaction, just smooth. Smell turned clean and metallic-sweet. --- Filtering setup Used a pillowcase and cheesecloth layered together as the filter stack. The pillowcase handled all the heavy junk, the cheesecloth grabbed the fine silt. It came out thick, dark amber, glossy — zero grit. I’ll leave it to rest overnight, open, just to let any tiny bubbles or gases clear out before bottling. --- Final note This batch is officially FERMAKOR B Concentrate V1.0 (1:4). Storage pH locked between 3.3–3.8, ready to bottle and shake before use. This one’s rich in P, K, Mg, and micros, while Calcium Nitrate will handle the N and Ca on the A-part side. --- 🌱 Closing the diary That’s it for this round — extraction phase complete. I’ll be closing this diary here and opening a new one called “FERMAKOR A+B Test Grow – V1.” Testing starts tomorrow on a single plant. Time to see if this brew actually works in the tent. 📸 All images videos to be added later — filter setup, pH colour, and final concentrate.

Week 7 (06/03 - 12/03) During this week I will continue to feed the plants mainly with Bio-bloom and Top-max every two watering day; I will consider to use Bio-grow too according to the status of the plants. At the moment, the Fat Banana #1 is shorter than others about 15cm but more bushy, it's funny because during the first two weeks of their life she was the taller one. During the past week, the Blue cheese has grown a lot reaching the taller Fat Banana #2. At the beginning of this week they both are 65cm tall. I bought a pH tester so, starting from this week, I will also adjust the pH level in order to maintain it between 6.0 and 6.5... better late than never. 06/03 D43: watering day. Added 2ml of Bio-bloom and 1ml of Top-max to 3l of tap water. I've adjusted the pH with 1ml of Terra Aquatica pH- to obtain a pH of 6.4 07/03 D44: - 08/03 D45: watering day. One liter of tap water each (pH 6.4). Note: I usually fill the watering can the day before and store it into the tent to avoid to use cold water. Yesterday I tested the water and I found a pH level of 7.4. This morning I re-tested the water into the watering can before watering and I found a pH level of 8.0!!! I guess that, every watering day during which I only used tap water, the pH level has always been far high. Could it be due to an accumulation of "salt" into the watering can?!? 09/03 D46: - 10/03 D47: watering day. Added 1ml Bio-grow, 2ml Bio-bloom, 1ml Top-max and 1.5ml Terra Aquatica pH- to 3 liters of tap water. 11/03 D48: One liter of tap water each @ pH 6.0. I'm trying to lower the pH because I noticed that the Fat Banana #2 has two/three fan leaves yellowing from the bottom. 12/03 D49: added 3ml of Bio-bloom and 2ml of Top-max to 3 liters of tap water.

(12/11-12/17) Days 8 to 14 Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 1 Notes & Observations: Plant 1 and 2 have been showing nice steady growth. Both seem to have similar phenos so far, so Im looking forward to a nice straightforward grow and training with minimal variants. They will be kept in these containers until week 4+ VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity at ~75 to 80% while under a dome and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime with 66-71F overnight. Im adjusting my lights and look to control them at ~250ppfd max. I will have to raise and lower pots inside the tent as I will be growing these at a different interval of other plants.
