Week 8 Flower — The Frosted Finale Approaches As we enter Week 8 of flower, our Sundae Driver ladies have transformed into something truly spectacular. The tent feels alive with energy, coated in that glistening, diamond-like frost that every grower dreams of. These girls have come a long way—from seed to strength, from gentle sprouts to towering beauties—and this week’s photos capture that evolution in every sparkling detail. A Quick Recap for New Friends For anyone joining us now, welcome to the ride. This grow began with three seeds from Zamnesia Seeds, all of which germinated successfully. We selected two phenos—our Sundae Driver #2 and #3—and nurtured them through an exciting, experimental journey. They were fed a balanced blend of Aptus Holland and Plagron nutrients, grown in a rich super soil mix, and guided by the precise control of TrolMaster systems and the steady illumination of Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs. Along the way, we explored advanced techniques—most notably, the Super Crop, which became a highlight of this grow. The Scene This Week Now in full bloom, both girls are thriving under the lights. Their colas are massive—one could easily compare the main stem to the size of my arm. Dense, weighty, and coated with trichomes from tip to base, they’re the very definition of healthy flower formation. The aromas are complex and sweet, a creamy mix that hints at their Sundae heritage. Even from a distance, the frost catches the light in a way that makes you pause and admire. Environmental conditions are holding steady despite the hot season outside. • Room temperature: around 28°C • Humidity: 62% • VPD: approximately 1.3 kPa With the AC doing its best and airflow dialed in through dual 6” carbon-filtered extractions, the girls are comfortable, breathing easily, and continuing to bulk without stress. Feeding & Formula This week, we continue with our refined nutrient mix: • Aptus Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L • Plagron PowerBuds: 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal: 1 ml/L EC hovers around 1.7, and pH remains close to 6.1. The soil, enriched and alive, holds an EC near 2.9, providing a self-sustaining foundation for these late-flower demands. Watering now follows the natural rhythm of the soil, ensuring each feed balances moisture and oxygen at the root zone—key for healthy ripening. The Art of Super Cropping Remember that bold super crop on Pheno #2 back in Week 4? She’s the living proof that resilience meets reward. The bend healed perfectly, redirecting energy and light into multiple bud sites. The result? An even canopy, incredible bud density, and a plant that carries herself like a true champion. For those hesitant to try this technique—let this be your sign. Super cropping, when done with care, can unlock your plant’s full potential. It’s a gentle stress that brings powerful returns. Don’t fear it—learn it, trust it, and apply it with love. Looking Ahead Week 9 will mark the start of the ripening stage. Expect pistils to darken, trichomes to shift from clear to milky, and the terpene profile to deepen even further. Patience becomes the grower’s greatest tool here—this is when the real magic happens. We’ll soon be talking about fade, flush, and preparation for harvest. Thank You, Family To everyone following along—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you’ve been here from seed or you’re just joining now, your presence means everything. To the lovers, the haters, the curious, the passionate—thank you. Because together, we grow. And to the partners who make this possible—Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, Spider Farmer, and TrolMaster—your innovation fuels these gardens. This project is more than just growing plants; it’s about learning, sharing, and celebrating life itself. Love, patience, and curiosity—these are the lights we all grow under. Let’s keep shining.

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.² As these girls start to pack serious weight, make sure every branch has proper support. Heavy buds are a blessing, but they can easily become a heartbreak if left unsupported. A single snap can cost you a beautiful cola. Use plant ties, yo-yos, bamboo stakes—whatever fits your setup—and keep a close eye daily. The last stretch is when your plants give their all, so it’s our job to help them carry that gift safely to harvest.

Day 25 of flowering and the girls are looking great. Bud set is nice and tight node spacing on all five plants.

Corte día 91, después de 5 días de lavado de raíz, 2 primeros dias de lavado con flawless finish de advanced nutrients, 50 gramos de flores en húmedo se congelaron y use para hacer bho, el efecto es relajante y fuerte

She was a bigger stretcher leading into week 4-5 of flower. Definitely need to hunt this cross in the future, insane terps amazing smell overall shes a banger 🍪🔥

Did defoliation on all three never done it before not sure did k over do it but they needed the trim I had a lot of fan leaves blocking bud sights Jan23 started to use the self watering pots from acinfinity gallon in each pot with fish shit

GORILLA PUNCH - 420 fast buds - week 9 Starting to come along nicely now , has massive frosted nuggets that are dense as you like. Loves the nutrients and smells absolutely amazing. Earth gassy and almost skunkish smell. DRSHOTZUK

Week 2 Day 1 - She was ready for some water this morning, 500mL pH?, Week 2 BioBizz sched @ .25%. Yeah the question mark after the pH is not a typo, hung over from a going away party last night I totally spaced checking the pH. Oh well should be alright, I hear that with organics it is not that big of an issue but I still want to be in the 6.2 ballpark, I know my tap water runs about 7.4ish so thats what she got plus or minus whatever the BBzz contributed. So 3 hours after lights on she is looking just fine, a bit droopy but she always is after her 4 hour dark period. 6th set is on its way and plenty of growth is popping out in the lower branches. If there is an issue with the pH blunder I think it would of shown by now, 12 hours later. Week 2 Day 2 - doing fine, she will be ready for transplant tomorrow into the 7 gal. Will be hanging the insulation today which will be a huge help to the electric bill, currently able to maintain 25C° in the tent, 21C° for the room with the AC set to 18C°, RH running 55%, lights 500µmol / 36DLI Week 2 Day 2 PM - Decided to transplant this evening, she was in need of a drink. Into the 7G she goes, 1000mL 6.2pH. Her rootball looked very healthy so I am very pleased with the results of transplanting an autoflower, now twice. Day 3 - Looking good this morning, a bit droopy perhaps from her new home and that she is a bit dry so 1000mL 6.2pH water she got. 28C° 60%RH 565µmol 40DLI. Her lime essence is really putting out now, smells awesome! Week 2 Day 4- She is really doing well, taking in 1L per 24hrs at the moment. Started LST today. Day 5 - She had another LST session today and the usual 1000mL she has been taking daily lately, this time another round on BioBizz WK2 @.25%, 6.3pH Week 2 Day 6-7 Day 6 was a rest day for her, been through a lot this week and her vigor was slowing a bit. She got transplanted, started LST, and got 2 doses of BioBizz WK2 @.25% this past week. Day 7 the new growth as a result of the LST is coming along nice.

no fertilizer for the next 2 weeks. Buds are getting bigger!

Last 2 weeks was good, but buds gettin not as big as i thought. But i think, 7 to 10 days to go, could be get bigger. Have nice week everyone✌️

It’s a nice grow so far in terms of expectations reality on the seed breeders. Great stuff again. I had a real germination nightmare this time around though - lots of strains failing at seedling so the numbers and strains became more 😂. So the tents are mixed up again to auto on one side and photoperiod on the other. In this tent as well as Afghan and a red gorilla - there is sweet zensation , banana krumble and red hot cookies and a peyote skittlez. Water in using ro solely through the grow. There has been one issue. I tried a “pro” substrate from biocanna this time and I have those little fleas. Really annoying and my aphids are late so kind of annoying - takes the pleasure off a bit. Any good organic solutions let me know please on comments

Both plants have now again launched a new growth of bracts. This is round Number 4 for these two. I'll wait until these new flowers get time to swell up and ripen. Checked the trichomes, many cloudy but still a few glassy. Now and then, you find an amber one, but those are on old sugar leaves, and I don't consider these for my havest decision.

Day 49 - lookin good..... been bending her, trimmin abit, messin with the water solution..... ph and ppm have been all over the place..... lol she's been transitioning from grow to flower, and once she settles into night mode, the solution and growing should stabilize...... the new fan is cool... tents working properly now, neg pressure, drawing in air behind the floor fan, blown around the bottom, and cpu extractor fan pushing the air out the top of the tent, straight into the filter..... really nice way to run a little tent, low airflow........ keeps the impurities out of the buds..... the stalks have all tuffened up since trimmin, and pretty strong now.... should hold the full weight that's about to occur all over the place...... i've simplified the nutrients, they were gettin alittle confusing, so started doin nuets differently, .... so, just making my own nuet solutions, nothing fancy just base amount of normal elements .... should be a pretty good christmas ...... Day 51 - pics/vids... 👍😎

Theres so much frost on the flowers that they dont look purple because the camera flash on the trichomes reflect

Hello everyone! 🤗 We have more autos from Ganja farmer seeds started today and I'm really excited for this one specifically I'm a huge fan of NYC diesel and now ganja farmer seeds has created an auto flower version⛽. I sowed them directly into the soil. The hydroponic ebb and flow system I am using this round is new and is called AirCube from growace. If your interested in looking for more info on it here's a link to there website 👇 https://growace.com/?rfsn=7577242.b784c7&utm_ source=refersion&utm_ medium=affiliate&utm_ campaign=7577242.b784c7 This will cut out my automatic watering and help bring more oxygen to the roots while still maintaining a fully organic grow.

Hola cultivadores. Se acerca la víspera de año nuevo, y con ello, la llegada de la floración. El día 12/27 observé las plantas y se aprecian diminutos pelos blancos, no están presentes en todas las ramas. Pero es suficiente para comenzar la fertilización con productos de floración. Escogí Bio-Bloom de BioBizz en su dosis media para que se adapte poco a poco al cambio de alimento, reduciendo igualmente el Fish-Mix a la mitad. Se mantuvo el Acti-Vera y el Alg-A-Mic en su misma dosis. Ya la planta alcanzó los 68 cm, esperemos crezca y engruese sus ramas porque igualmente están delgadas para soportar el peso de los cogollos.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5. Wow! It's been a good week of growth. The plant are sure drinking alot of food this week. Indicia's do that about this time in flowering. I took some 1/4 inch doweling and tied cord around the ends and tied the plants back out of the light so they don't fry. The resin production has kicked in. Some of the plant are looking frosty already. As usual I'm hoping for some strong smoke to come out of these girls. Seeds are supposed to arrive today according to my email. and the address is from Spain. Have my seeds finally been sent by OA Seeds? And I thought I was getting ripped off by them. It's been 3 whole months. I've been asking about every week or two where are my seeds and I was always getting the run around something about we don't have those seeds so you will have to pick something different or wee have a problem with seed delivery so you will have to pick something else or taking days to respond to my email responses. I'm expecting the seeds to be old and that they won't sprout. So I'll start some straight away to see. I forgot what I ordered and I had to go back and look at the email receipt and remember but who knows what I'll get? Till next week. Chuck.

I must apologize for the shitty incomplete diary. As I was getting into my stride a load of work came along that took me away from home for several months so I had some real issues finishing the diary.. The harvest was good. I had nearly 800g of flower at the chop which were all frosty chunky dense beasts. The terp profile at chop was a very stinky gassy smell which I would call diesel. Incredibly sticky and pungent. Really treated my extractor.. I had them dry for around 10 days hanging in a dark room with a temp of 19c and RH at 52%.. Thank you to Mrs Laritfor sending me these beans. The genetic is fantastic and very stable both my ants were the same pheno with plant 1 producing slightly smaller buds due to an unfortunate branch snapping incident early on. But the smaller buds were twice as dense ..Just lovely.

Surprisingly slow growth, but the colour on most of them looks healthy. Plant #4 might be a goner, it had problems getting out of the seed and nearly died the other day. It's likely just going to be a very weak plant. Keeping my fingers crossed though. Update #1: After getting some helpful advice from Mark at Dinafem Seeds, I transplanted the three largest ones into 7 gal smart pots and placed them outside where they will stay. The remaining two will likely head outside either tonight or tomorrow depending on the weather (these are the smallest two, #2 and #4). Update #2: As of June 2 (Day 13), all plants have been transplanted into 7 gal smart pots and will remain outside.
