Well a couple issues in the grow room this week. The ladies got much bigger that I had expected! They trippled in size and now I have an issue of them getting a bit too tall. The light I am using says 30-36" above canopy...light is high as it can go and I'm about 28-32 above the canopy. From the info I've looked through I think I had light bleaching going on. I turned the light down 20% and doesn't seem to be happening any more. I am also having a war with the weather. I'm in canada and the weather is all over the place rite now. Drastic temp swings and humidity up and down. Other than this the ladies seem to be rolling along well . Can't wait for the colas to fill ! Staked all the branches in preparation for some hopefully big buds

24/09 - D17 since pistills. Busy day today. Full res change, with nutes modified to transition to bloom for the next couple of days before I bump her to full dose bloom 3 weeks from pistills showing. Also did some heavy defoliation. Started chopping with the intent of taking a few, but concerns around humidty levels have been in the back of my mind for awhile and given I was all geared up in the tent anyway I went to town. Removed a couple of weaker branches that were interfering with other sites, and took a large amount of lengthy and inward facing leaves. Walked away and came back and the difference was quite shocking (first grow!), but she looks better for it. Flowers are now exposed to light, and areas where moisture can get trapped have been dramatically reduced if not eliminated. Hopefully she responds well to her new haircut. Also came across my guard spider while sweeping out some leaves that fell behind the res, not sure what hes eating in there, maybe he just likes the smell! EC: 1.27, PH 5.8. 25/09 - Managed to get humidity down to 55 after the defoiation and leaving the door of the tent open. She seems to be happy after her haircut. PH dropping slowly at 5.7, EC stable at 1.27, water dropping. 26/09 - Small spot of PM on one sugar and one fan leaf. Wiped clean with a wet tissue and trimmed off. Will spray with diluted milk mixture at lights out and keep my eyes open for further infection. Modified setup a bit to try and bring the humidty down further and increase air flow, but struggling to get it below 55% even with a humidifer in the tent and the fan ramped up to max. Going to do a res change with full bloom nutes tomorrow so as not to prolong this grow longer than needs be. 27/09 - Full Res change to bloom nutes. 35ml Micr, 6ml Grow, 45ml Bloom. No new spots of PM seen, continuing with minor trimming when I spot any touching leaves as a preventative. RH finally pulled down into the 40's, and then my fan broke. Time to buy a new one. 28/09 - PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.27. Going to try and leave well alone from this point forward unless issues arise or I see damp spots forming. Humidty finally down to 40%. 29/09 - PH and EC dropping. Topped off res with 8l of water at 50%. 13ml Micro, 3ml Grow, 20ml Bloom. PH 6.0, EC 1.3ish. 30/09 - PH 5.8, EC 1.17. Continuing to trim a couple of leaves here and there when I spot an overlap or blockage and pinch off tiny bud shoots below the canopy.

🌱 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.

Aquí las fotos de esta nueva semana de vegetación para ambas plantas, cumpliendo así la white widow 23 dias de plantada y la zinfandel 16. La fotos corresponden al 21, 24 y 27 de abril. Por ahora no hay nada más que agregar. Ya que esta semana solo agregué algo de sustrato en ambas y el riego fue de agua reposada con una bomba dando oxígeno por 24hr y un ph de 6,1 a 6,5. Lo que no sé es si realizar alguna tipo de poda más adelante o si mejor las dejo crecer como son, ya que no sé mucho. Existe el temor de dañarlas o estresarlas demasiado. Lo pensaré, también recibo cualquier consejo u observación con ellas!

Week 7 of flower. Getting sticky, frosty, and smelly! Nugs are fattening up. Did some super cropping to help with all nugs developing well. Starting to see some purple hues showing up and the trichomes are beginning to get cloudy. Have had a nice temperature delta of 10+ Degrees to hopefully boost the trichomes and colors.

I've cut down on grow at this point as the soil seems to have a lot. I'll feed for another week then think about Flushing. The kalimist will keep getting fed bloom and grow as its only been flowering for about 3 weeks due to taking longer to force flower.

Grew very well. Very light feeder during veg and early flowering. Very fast, from seed to harvest it took only 72 days, and she was about ready around day 65.

Welcome guys Finally here we are with the conclusion of this cycle with two NICOLE KUSH 👱‍♀️👱‍♀️🌱 Version from @supersiberia seed bank I have growed all two in the same way (lights, pot, nutrients ecc) One of them was more sweet in the aroma, but each one with a kushy base Anyway, back to the harwest time 👇 The plants is placed for entirely in a cupboard upside down, after the cut, with the leaves still attached.. After about seven / ten days, when the leaves were pretty dry, the flowers crunchy, but before the branches break cleanly...I cleaned all the buds thoroughly, I cut them off the branches and put them back inside of a brown bag. .for about a day / two Later I placed everything in a classic glass jar For 24h I left it closed ⏳ Then I started opening it several times a day More or less, after about three weeks, I usually close the jar permanently and wait a few more weeks to start using the flowers 🔥 About taste and effects 👇 The flavors in smoking are exactly the same you can smell in each one..is good but in the long time i prefer different Kush strain.. The most sweetness one has a taste like the terpenes you can find in a strain like Critical or skunk.. Not my favorites 🙌 The effect is pretty relaxing and staying chill Body stoned Is not my first choise but in the end is enjoyable The plant in growing is also great to see Nice dense buds with a good amount of stickiness 👌 I have growed her in a 3,5l airpot (not the original) with organic liquids nutrients, added in to a soil / cocco / humus and perlite base But if you want to learn more about, check out all my previous weeks 📆 I want to thanks @supersiberia for the seeds 👍👍👍 And to @growdiaries for make this possible 🙏 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 18 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17559.9, Another pretty epic week in the garden! Growth has been healthy and wow the canopy is getting stacked for the beginning of flower. Heady OG managed to reach the grow light so super-cropped the canopy once more. Also lollipopped and defoliated the under canopy. Cleaned the best I could, but can’t reach TKO (in the back of the tent) so mainly cleaned Heady OG. Both are still recovering which could mean growth is starting to prioritize bud development over vegetative growth. Bud sites are already starting to swell up nicely! The veg tent has been thriving and growth has been all around healthy! Watered the spare Heady OG clone and transplanted the rooted mother cuttings into solo cups. Onwards to next week Ensign!

Plan to transplant into solo cups soon. - [16:26] Refreshed the spare mother cutting’s RO water. --- After using the PVC rig for a week or so, I’m quite impressed and makes water chances really simple! - [16:38]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 48% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 46% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 27% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 51% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Pheno #2] ------ 44% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Pheno #4] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- Unlike most growers, I determine the start of flower when pistil hairs start to form (technically called the stigma) and vertical growth slows and switches to bud development. --- When growing indoors, it makes sense to set day one of flower as soon as the light cycle is changed to from 18/6 to 12/12. But what about outdoor growing? --- As far as how I determine flowering, --- My personal logic and opinion is that nature does not change immediately. So I usually don’t count the beginning stretch phase as part of flowering. If anything, I think of it as the end of veg. --- The stretch phase usually lasts between 14-21 days. As far as day one of flower development, this is different with every pheno. --- Anyways! --- Plan to clean the main tent tonight. While still in early flower, the under canopy needs to be defoliated. - [19:05]: Checked on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow the tent is raging with growth! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are swelling up with bud growth! --- Okay! Need to do a bit of under canopy cleanup! - [19:54]: Cleaned and defoliated the growth under the scrog netting. --- Removed as much as I could and mainly focused on the front quadrants, but can’t reach the back quadrants. --- Using a vacuum clean with a hose did help, but still could not defoliate all of the back. --- Thankfully there is plenty of airflow, so hopefully that will be enough. - [20:19]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
