🌱 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.

Day 93 - And the flush is starting 😁 The buds are pretty nice at that stage , trichomes are shining , leaves are yellowing and buds are swelling The bud structure is beautiful, each calyxes are looking like a bubble The smell is nice too Day 96 - 08.03 - I'm starting to get a bit scared about the RH and the kind of problems it can bring in late flowering, I had to cut 4 of the main bud yesterday as I was suspecting an incoming issue... now that the rain joined the party I think I will harvest earlier than expected : No big deal as the trichomes are ready but I will not reach my 105 days goal

So only after two weeks of curing these buds are becoming more and more refined! The texture of the buds is beautiful, it crumbles and grinds up effortlessly in my space case and is light, fluffy and almost “goopy” coming out of the grinder. I guess goopy is my description of ground bud that sticks together as it comes out of the grinder. It almost resembles goo or putty! That’s always a great indicator of a strain that has lots of sticky dank trichomes 😎 Now onto the high... I must admit, I was a little disappointed at first. I was initially caught off guard by how smooth the smoke went down, but usually after the first hit I feel something. After the first hit of this strain I didn’t, so I packed another bowl and sparked her up... not much different. Around 15min after my second hit I started to gradually feel a trippy/tingly full body buzz and strong head buzz come on. Once I sat down on the couch it’s like it fully kicked in and I really felt a truly euphoric full body high along with a head high that felt incredible. She’s definitely what some would call a “creeper strain”! To me though, the high is reminiscent of the first hour after ingestion of some top quality cubensis! In a nutshell the high is euphoric, energetic and crisp. I don’t feel groggy at all when I smoke this strain, I can be extremely productive with work and still articulate my thoughts with ease. I also noticed that I don’t get anxious in public and even though this strain is extremely uplifting and energetic I have zero issues getting to sleep at night. I could truly classify this strain as medicinal and I know if I was still a caregiver this would be on constant rotation! I will update more after 2.5-3.0 months cure!

02/13/2020 Replacing with a back up female😊 I like to grow extras for this reason. Gonna train for a few more weeks until my Blue Dream-matic is harvested. So this is my clone mom for outdoor crop need 2 - 4 more clones for the garden. Then I can flower this girl out inside. Also I'm switching nutes with this one because she's been Fed only 3-1-2 organic granular and was planning on putting her in the garden this spring. 02/14/2020 She has hollow stem, they day it's a good trait to look for in a keeper/breeder plant,so you can see i cut some clones ,and tied down her branches

Was a good grow. Is dry and waiting on trimming. See Previous week for harvest video. They changed formats on me and was unaware. Thanks again AMS, especially Viparspectra for saving the plants. Emily is the hero here. 👍 Thank you again grow diaries community for the support I will get the smoke report on once I can clean it. Yes I know storing it in plastic is bad. Only thing I had available at the moment.

Missed last week so the measurements for their feeding was for 8 weeks this week they got PH water only 3 liters each. These girls are in their final stretch they will get one more feeding and then start the flush. They get fed or watered every 4 days as needed. Ultimate #3 which has been the dwarf since the beginning has wind burn from the fan had to readjust the fan and move the lights up so the other two don’t get fried. They are looking and smelling good and their buds are coming together nicely. As with the last batch of Ultimates they aren’t sticky yet they seem to wait to really develop that stickiness until just before harvest.

Week 14 - Week 2 Of Flush - It’s Week 2 Of Flush For The Bigger GG And Week 1 For The Other. I Apologise For Not Having Proper Pics And Vids From Week 1 Flush Or Week 2 Is Just That Forgot My Phone On One Of Those Arriva Bus So I’ve Been Phoneless And This Was The Only Video I Use My Partners Phone To Take And I Apologize For Having Other Plants In The Video Is Just That I Have To Carry These Plants Upstairs In My Tub Every 2-3 Days And Flush Them And I Been Feeling A Bit Down About the Whole Phone Situation But I Still Would Like For You Guys To Get To See Week 2 Flush. I Will Be Getting Another Phone Next week So I Will Make Sure To Upload Proper Pics And Vids. I will let the Bigger Gorilla Glue Flush Out For Another Week Or Few Days Because The Trichomes Are mostly Cloudy With A Few Clear And I Want To Catch It Right When It’s Mostly Cloudy. Also The Aroma Is Still At It’s Peak!

4/9/25 Welcome to another week. Week 5 since the flip of 12/12 just ended. So today is day 36 since 12/12. The begining of week 6. About halfway done with flowering. Time to start packing on weight. also its important to note that it took a week or so after 12/12 to have pistils show up. So its closer to 28 -30 days of Flowering. I have a foxtailing pheno thats mostly green with thin buds. I have a super chonker green pheno with ridiculously chunked up golfball sized nugs everywhere.(R3) I have a sativa style but thicker buds with nice long connected colas (R2) another smaller pheno with traits of some of the others and also green. and then a singlular pheno that looks gelato dominant and its purple pretty much everywhere to the point that i didnt notice its coloring until it was next to all of its sisters that are straight green. Very beautiful plants and a nice display of phenotypical expressions Top dressed 2tsp bloom 2tsp microbe charge 1tsp bloom booster A Special thank you to Zamnesia and

Salve a tutti i coltivatori Inizio a condividere la crescita di queste genetiche autofiorenti della RQS di cui 5 Green Gelato e 3 Northern light in vasi da 6,5 L e terriccio olandese light mix dell'Atami. Qui parto dalla 2 settimana di fioritura ( 31 giorni ) e devo dire che stanno rispondendo bene anche se purtroppo di giorno ho alte temperature che arrivano anche a 30°C con una lampada agro da 600w e scendono a 19°C a luci spente. Ho dovuto anche togliere alcune foglie prendisole più basse su alcune piante che sono state colpite da Septoria fogliare penso per colpa mia che in fase vegetativa e anche i primi giorni di fioritura ho spruzzato acqua sulle foglie più volte e non penso sia stata una mossa furba e anche l'umidità a luci spente quindi per 6 ore mi arriva a più di 80% anche con umidificatore spento.. Per il resto sto dando 4ml di soil nutrition bicomponente dell'Atami Bcuzz A/B e del the di banane per dare un po' di PK in più e ho messo anche cenere di legno di faggio per dare anche calcio e aumentare un po' l'alcalinita' del terreno visto che era un po' acido. Bene ringrazio a tutti quelli che passeranno di cui e auguro grassi raccolti a tutti noi! Reyden

Der Grow ist nun durch , bin mit dem gesamten Verlauf sehr zufrieden. Es gab nie Probleme, alles lief nach Plan. Es wurde kein großes Entlauben, noch Topping oder sonstiges gemacht, lediglich die großen Blätter wurden entfernt. Gesamtgenommen , würde ich es wieder so machen, es war einfach ein ruhiger entspannter Grow. Die Lampe von Greenception, der Dünger von Biotabs, und auch der Blumat, funktionierten super in einer Symbiose zusammen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis nicht riesig ist, ist es wie in der Vorwoche bereits erwähnt für mich absolut in Ordnung. Da ich nicht viel benötige und es mehr ein Hobby ist . Die gesamte Lichtleistung habe ich durch 3 geteilt, es sind schließlich 3 Pflanzen im Zelt, damit man ein korrektes Ergebnis erhält. Ich danke für die Free Seeds @SuperSativaSeedsClub, und kann Sie bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen. Rauch und Endergebnis werde ich selbstverständlich nachliefern. Das Nassgewicht beträgt 145gramm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow is now finished, and I am very satisfied with the entire process. There were never any problems; everything went according to plan. No major defoliation, topping, or other interventions were done; only the large leaves were removed. Overall, I would do it the same way again, as it was simply a calm and relaxed grow. The lamp from Greenception, the fertilizer from Biotabs, and the Blumat system worked perfectly together in symbiosis. Even though the result isn't huge, as I mentioned last week, it's absolutely fine for me. I don't need much, and it's more of a hobby. I divided the total light output by 3, as there are 3 plants in the tent, to get an accurate result. I thank SuperSativaSeedsClub for the free seeds and can recommend them without hesitation. I will, of course, provide updates on the smoke and final results. The wet weight is 145 grams. Die letzte Woche lief ebenfalls alles glatt. Habe das Wasser runter gedreht, und die Pflanze von ihren Resten zehren lassen . Bin sehr zufrieden, und bedanke mich bei SSSC für die gesponserten Samen.

On day 73, she has continued to develop purple stems along with an increase production in trichomes as seen in the photos. Steady growth and beautiful green overall.
