I've overwatered 😬 Moved outside on the balcony a few hours to take some direct sun with a fan pointing the pots trying to dry it as much as I can.

eek 1 Flower – Light Shift, Energy Shift: The Sundae Driver Flip Begins The light has changed. The rhythm has changed. And so begins the next phase of our journey with these two beautiful Sundae Driver phenos—F2 and F3, strong, structured, and ready for the path ahead. Light Flip: 11/13 Schedule This week marks the official light flip, we’ve moved from 18/6 to 11 hours ON, 13 hours OFF. This is more than a timer tweak, it’s an intentional signal to the plants. It tells them: “It’s time to shift your energy. It’s time to bloom.” Why 11/13 and not the classic 12/12? From past experience, this slightly reduced light period tends to: • Encourage faster onset of flowering • Mimic natural seasonal changes more closely • Push plants gently but clearly into the bloom phase • Slightly reduce internodal stretching, depending on strain It’s a subtle technique for growers who want to bring their genetics into flower with intention, not just automation. ⸻ Current Plant Stats Both Sundae Driver phenos are looking phenomenal: • F2 (Pheno #2): 7 to 8 solid nodes, well-structured branching • F3 (Pheno #3): 6 to 7 nodes, evenly spaced, healthy top growth • Height: ~40 cm each • Structure: Symmetrical, thriving, ready to stretch They’re not showing pistils yet—no visible pre-flowers, no white hairs, but that’s expected. It’s Week 1 Flower by light schedule, not by physiology. The hormonal shift has just begun. ⸻ Nutrient Shift – From Start to Top This week also marks a change in the feed program. We’re saying goodbye to Aptus Start Booster and welcoming Top Booster into the rotation. • Why the switch? Because the plants are transitioning from root-zone stimulation to pre-flower induction. • Top Booster is designed to: • Initiate floral development • Begin the phosphorus-potassium push • Provide trace elements aligned with bloom-stage signaling We’re using the same measurements as Start Booster, no shock, no surge. Just a clean hand-off, keeping the biological engine running smooth. Current Feed Includes: • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Aptus All-in-One Liquid • Aptus Top Booster (new this week) ⸻ Environmental Stats – Pushing the Edge, Managing the Heat • PPFD: 760 µmol/m²/s – Measured on the TrolMaster MBS-PAR sensor, dialed in • Temp: 31°C – Yes, a bit high, but the girls aren’t complaining • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 – High, but within tolerance while waiting for AC upgrade We’re riding the edge this week. It’s warm, it’s dry, but the plants are thriving, showing no signs of stress. Their resilience is a testament to your setup, your genetics, and your love. ⸻ Looking Ahead – What to Expect We’re now in the hormonal build-up phase. The girls are about to stretch, about to signal floral commitment. Here’s what we might see by next week: • First white pistils • Stretch kicking in • Top growth pushing harder than lower nodes • Nutrient demands subtly shifting—watch potassium and magnesium uptake What not to expect yet: • Buds • Resin • Drastic shape changes That comes soon—but not quite yet. ⸻ Closing Thoughts – A Sunday Drive Into Bloom This isn’t just a new phase, it’s a new pace. The grow has shifted gears, and you can feel it in the rhythm of the room. Light is shorter. Energy is tighter. But the intention is louder than ever. The Sundae Driver girls are leading us gently into bloom, graceful, balanced, and full of promise. Thank you for following along.

Hi everyone 🤗 We are in the second week after changing the lighting time to 12/12 h. The actual proper flowering begins in the next 3-7 days, but the flowering days are counted 😊. It developed very nicely in the current week and got a real growth spurt 😍. Next week I'm going to take the bottom shoots that don't make it upstairs, so that she puts her energy in the upper part of the plant and not in the lower popcorn buds 👍. She will get Canna Vega Bio this week, and next week when the flowers start to develop, she will get Canna Flores. I wish you all a nice start into the new week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱 You can buy this Strain at : www.Zamnesia.com Type: Runtz ☝️🏼 Genetics: Zkittlez x Gelato 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205 W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Nutrients : Canna Bio ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Gracias a @James, Royal Queen Seeds y MarshHydro sin ellos no sería posible hacer este diario. La Tropical Mirage es la última creación de los maestros de la cría de Royal Queen Seeds. Trabajando mano a mano con el DJ y productor Henry Saiz, nuestro equipo se propuso crear una variedad que sirviera como chispa de inspiración para las personas creativas de cualquier ámbito de la vida. Y ahora, por fin podemos presentar el resultado. La Tropical Mirage desciende de la todopoderosa Zkittlez, uno de los híbridos más populares del mundo. Es el resultado de un cruce entre un esqueje seleccionado de la Forbidden Zkittlez y la Melonade, y es afrutada, edificante e inspiradora. Sus flores densas, alargadas y resinosas desprenden intensos aromas y ejercen un subidón energizante capaz de impulsar cualquier proyecto creativo, desde la música y las artes visuales hasta la escritura, el baile y mucho más. En el cuarto de cultivo, la Tropical Mirage es rápida, fiable y muy productiva. Con una serie de cuidados básicos, esta variedad tan resistente te dará suficientes cogollos para mantener tu flujo creativo en acción durante todo el año. 🌻 🚀 Consigue aquí tus semillas: https://www.royalqueenseeds.es/semillas-feminizadas-de-marihuana/647-tropical-mirage.html 💡 Mars Hydro TS 3000, como la lámpara de cultivo LED más grande de la serie TS, ofrece suficiente cobertura para un área de 4 × 4 pies con un precio asequible y rendimientos de calidad; a cambio, se puede aplicar tanto al cultivo doméstico como al cultivo comercial.

Hey everyone 😀. This week both Phenos continued to grow super 🙂. They were also sprayed again with neem oil, which is why they look so dark and shine :-). All trips are apparently gone, but safety first 🙂👍. The week I will apply topping again, that it will be real bushes 😅. I wish you all a lot of fun with the update, and let it grow 👍 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Florganics is a living soil starting fertiliser the earth is this time plagron light mix the lamp is at the start at 25 watts and 20cm above canopy i will start to remove water from the system by placeing a spongecloth on the waterslide i think the earth is a bit on the wet side Also want to add nutrients at some point and fresh nematodes to make sure i dont get the damn flies again i move the controller to the other side to make sure the sensor for temp and humidity is close to the plants I had to change the soil mid week as it was too hot. It was made from last year's FLO Florganics and too bad... It switched to biotabs NL And put ZK 1 and ZK 2 in the fridgegrow system. I removed ZK 3... WHATEVER FLO Florganics is actually a great product and as soon as it is available again we will use it again... There was trouble with the factory and Flo learnt a lot. Now the fertilizer gets tested in and independent lab.... END of week all looks great the plants are growing the one that had too many nutirents for a while is now ... bigger of course
