Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

🌸 Week 13 | Flower Week 10 — The Sunday Driver Finale Is Near 💫 Here she is — our last standing Sunday Driver, Pheno #3, still bulking, swelling, and shining like she knows she’s the grand finale. Her sister has already been harvested, but this one… she’s taking her sweet time, adding weight, density, and an incredible layer of frost that sparkles like morning dew under the grow lights. 🌿 Growth & Beauty The buds are now thick, heavy, and packed tight with trichomes — truly a work of art. Every cola leans a little more each day, heavy with resin and color. She’s still stacking new calyxes, pushing deeper into her final stage. She carries those deep, rich tones — greens turning into soft yellows and even a few touches of amber at the tips. She’s breathing life with every sparkle. ⚙️ Environment & Gear Still under the Future of Grow Black Series 600W, with ThinkGrow Model One and ICL 3300 supporting — the light balance is magic, giving her full coverage and power. Air circulation remains driven by the AeroFan and Spider Farmer 6-inch extractors, while the TrolMaster system keeps everything in perfect sync — including the eye in the sky, the TrolMaster camera, watching over every sparkle. 🌸 Quick Recap From seed to now — what a ride it’s been. Germinated with love, raised in Aptus-enhanced Supersoil, nurtured by the perfect blend of Aptus Holland and Plagron nutrients. She’s been through her sister’s harvest, the challenges, the adjustments — and now stands as the final act, a symbol of patience and beauty. 💧 Current Feed We’re keeping the same steady rhythm with Regulator, CalMag Boost, All-in-One Liquid, and Top Booster, with just the right balance to keep her finishing strong. 🌬️ What to Expect We’re in the final stretch. Trichomes are cloudy, some just kissing amber. Aroma is thick, sweet, and earthy — that Sunday Driver signature. Probably one more week, maybe two, before the perfect moment arrives. From here on, it’s all about observation, intuition, and letting nature do her last dance. 💙 Gratitude To everyone following along — from the beginning or joining now — thank you. To the lovers, the haters, the growers, and the dreamers, thank you.And to our amazing partners and friends — Aptus Holland, Plagron, Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, Spider Farmer, TrolMaster, and of course Zamnesia — thank you for helping us bring these stories to life. This grow has been about learning, patience, and passion — and this Sunday Driver is driving us straight into harvest magic. 🌿✨ 🎥 Don’t forget to join us on YouTube to see her shine in full 4K — the light, the frost, the color, the beauty. #SundayDriver #Week13 #FlowerWeek10 #GrowDiaries #AptusHolland #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #ThinkGrow #SpiderFarmer #AeroFan #TrolMaster #Zamnesia #GrowWithLove 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Que hay familia, vamos con la tercera semana de vida de estas Candy Rain de Zamnesia, para el concurso POWER BUDS Plagron x Zamnesia CONTEST. Vaya color que se están marcando, se ven bien sanas. Esta vez regué con una aplicación de Sugar Royal, 0.8 ml x litro de agua y power bud 0.5 ml x litro, por supuesto controlando siempre el Ph, que ahora mismo lo dejamos en 6. Eche unas gotas de flash root esta semana también ya que les realice el transpoante a su maceta definitiva, 7 litros. E practicado una apical a 1 de 5 porque en el armario pondré 4 y como me sobra una pues la dejaré en otro indoor, aún así subiré fotos igualmente. Hasta aquí es todo, la tercera semana de crecimiento superada, iremos viendo cómo progresan. Os comento que tengo un descuento y para que compréis en la web de Zamnesia de un 20%, el código es ZAMMIGD2023 The discount 20% and the code is ZAMMIGD2023 https://www.zamnesia.com/ Hasta aquí todo, justo ayer la cuenta cumplió 4 años nos echamos unos buenos porros a salud de todos, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

I started germination of 3 Crystal Candy fv beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! This is my first look at this variety so I have no background information on experience for this one. But I will get some from this grow, and if shes blessed. There could be a second run in the future.

First week of flower and the girls seem to be doing really well. I haven't been in the tent this much this grow as I've been extremely busy with work and the outdoor garden. I'm feeding flowering nutrients now and I'm starting to get heavier on the feedings. I wish I could trellis but I didn't have the time and the small plant would make it a little difficult. I will defoliate as much as possible for light penetration and hope for sole big buds. All in all this grow is going very well so far. Excited to see the difference in bud shape between the 3 plants of this strain.

Quebec Blast is doing well. She is showing first signs of flowering a week into light change. I adjusted nutrition more to her current demands, with a solution change today. Everything is going well, I don't expect a lot of stretching. I could be wrong. I am growing her under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light at 70 percent. She is in New Level Hydro 5 gallon bucket. Thank you Spider Farmer, New Level Hydro, and Quebec Seeds. 🤜🤛💪🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g SE5000 https://amzn.to/3qFpAML Spider Farmer Official Website Links: US&Worldwide: https://www.spider-farmer.com UK: https://spiderfarmer.co.uk CA: https://spiderfarmer.ca EU: https://spiderfarmer.eu AU: https://spiderfarmer.com.au Coupon Code: saveurcash Www.newlevelhydro.com Www.hygrozyme.com

Susquihanna @Divine Seeds Candy Auto continues to stretch one and a half inches this week while flowering and has a ton of buds. We have had the best temperatures this week. It is in the 80s and is going to rain all week. We now have a hurricane or two- literally- heading this way. I only fed my candy auto once this week because it was so wet here. Miss candy auto got nature’s best, rainwater. I clipped a bud off and took some close-up pictures so you could see the differences one week makes from last week, I love seeing the “sugar“ on the cannabis buds. Take a look at the sparkle – candy sugar, for sure exclamation exclamation And, as always Find Your Happy:)

trimmed and netted the plants last night, 12/30, and the energy pushed the plants to stretch another 1/2 inch+ this will be the last week of vegetation as I prep this light leaking tent for flower, not a fan of mars hydro at all right now. their poles are the weakest I've encountered yet, too many light leaks and this is the first grow with it. My high cfm fan , which is only a 4", is pulling the fabric too much and causing the leaks to grow a bit. This is not new, its been happening with indoor tents for a while now but I thought a grow company such as MH would have a decent, respectable tent. My solution is Blackout Curtains draped over the sides. However, I am hesitant to do this with the MH tent as the poles for the tent are too weak as it is, tsk tsk tsk mars hydro. will continue to increase the watts the next 6 days HAPPY NEW YEAR a combination of light and fresh soil has made the plants stretch so I will finish tightening up the MH tent today and ill start flower tomorrow, day 62. while adjusting the height I must have nudged the dial for the dimmer and sent it to 184w. this would have been a big jump but manageable but I lowered the light 7" and the plants took a bit of a hit. I adjusted the light back down to 160w and I'll let the plants recover before anymore adjustments.

Auto Ultimate is an absolute BEAST!!! She’s taller than the another two by far!!! They are all flowering really well. Auto Mazar is acting weird and not sure why. She’s super droopy and dont know what to do about it. Letting them dry out more this week before their feed and see if that helps as I have a lot of purple stems so thinking these ladies don’t like watering to run off.

Blackberry moonrocks the leaves on both the seedlings have a very distinct look definitely different than the average leaf really pointy and 1 of the 2 seedlings sits praying 100% of the day. I think that one is really going to be a winner. Last grow I overwatered and had to toss them because growth got stunted and a bunch if fungus knats got to the soil. This time I'm trying promix potting soil wish I had tried promix hp but the store close by isn't a hudro store and that's what they had. So this time I'm being very cautious with the watering I'm only useing a spray bottle I'm currently giving 45 spray per solo cup every few days when it dries out. This promix soil seems to hold water decent so the 45 spray there is 0 water coming out the bottom the cup yet. Here soon I think I'm going to double the amount of spray to 90 and start letting the soil get dry dry before watering again. Probably will hold off on any nutes quite yet. I'm going from 24/0 to 20/4 light schedule this week. There getting to the point they won't strech as much is 4 hrs of darkness and I'm rasing the light intensity a little it's been around 150 I'm upping it to around 175. Most likely by the end of the week I'll probably be pushing 200 or close. Hopefully I can get them into the big tent soon At this stage I like to alternate having the fan blowing on them I feel it gives them time to recover and get stronger instead of wind stress. Also every few days I will turn the plants so they are facing away from the light making them grow back towards the light I fell it makes them stronger
