This run went a lot better than expected. There were lots of problems while in a rush to get the new grow going. But once everything was dialed in, everything started booming! The next run should even put this one to shame with the much healthier plants in the veg room.

This plant is the most robust vigorous marijuana plant I have ever grown! It is absolutely insane. I thought she was done stretching and bushing out but boy was I wrong shes going to be over 6ft tall and almost 10ft around and it smells like I dropped the plant in a bucket of 1 year old skunk piss lol very much looking foward to this one

🌱 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.

The week starts Monday, Dec-9 in vegetative stage. Started lowering the distance from the light to 45cm (18") over the coming week. The extraction fan on its lowest setting is too strong for the current growth environment so the humidity levels have been rather low (35% -> 50%). An attempt to stop/start the fan with 30min intervals caused both temp and humidity levels to swing wildly. The environment inside the tent is now stable, albeit low temp and humidity levels since the fan has been left to run continuously. Added a large tray of water with an aquarium heater warming it to raise the humidity level inside the grow tent. And added a large hanging wet towel. Both methods helped. The plant is recovering very well and stretching in its growth. The side branches are reaching out to the light. Starting to increase the frequency of fertigation to daily as the plant seems to be sucking up water/nutrients well. Run-off was measured at EC 0.94 and pH 6.2. Topping at 5th node - start of LBH’s Famous ScrOG Tutorial. Cut the stem above the 4th node. The topping should probably have been done a few days ago but I wanted to see the plant recover first.

Apologies for not updating last week, I have just been really busy! These last couple of weeks have been great - her growth is coming along very well. There are no signs of any deficiencies as of yet, what is your opinion! In regards to defoliating and lollipopping - what growth would you suggest I get rid off?

Day 29 - Topped both ladies at the fifth node and removed any growth below. Growth exploded since transplant and first dose of nutrients. Day 30 - Watered both ladies with around 100ml of water. They recovered from the topping and look as healthy as can be. Very happy with progress. Day 32 - Misted both ladies. Day 33 - Watered both ladies with around 250ml each. Increased dosage slightly from last feed to see how they take it. Day 35 - Misted both ladies to keep them hydrated. Maria is doing well, showing vigorous growth. Planning to top her again next week and remove any growth below the topped nodes. Juanita has fallen behind, new growth points seem to be growing sideways. Keeping an eye on her progress, hopefully she turns out ok. Not planning to top her again until normal growth resumes, do not want to stress her out.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New video of the girls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. Video of the girls this morning. Kl 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Videos added. KL. 23.00. New video.

For FW3 no fertilizer. Last week of growth I added 50 g of Wizzy's Flower-Fertilizer, which lasts for the whole flower period. Also this week no booster, only tapwater, but I need to increase the temperatur of it, since it always causes a shock when watering the plants. Still no problems with pH, micorbiology takes care of that.

Mystery Made 2 already stopped showing male traits. I only plugged 3 or 4 there in total. Melonade Runtz on the other hand still is developing but I have the feeling that it is slowly getting better. All in all they look amazing and are growing very nicely. The trichomes are also developing great!

The yield this run was just amazing, the VIPARSPECTRA XS-2000 performed very well, they run so cool, it's just crazy, you can set the lights about 10 inches from your plants at 70% without fear of burning them, sweet seed cream mandarin auto al, always yields very well, this harvest was even better, largest amount from any Auto Flowers yet, I know that you folks that grow DWC can push it a bit better but when grown in the soil the terpenes and flavors seem to be a click better in my opinion. If you have not tried these seeds you just have to, you will not be disappointed!

Finalmente el día de cosecha, la producción no fue de las más abundantes pero suficiente para mi consumo personal, bastante entretenido el cultivo en DWC, lo repetiré en mi siguiente cultivo pero con una semilla automática.

I may be slowing her growth by having her in a small but...However, she looks healthy and that is the most important part of the grow process.
