Week 4, she is sitting under HPS for a few days till the new LED is ready for her. So far everything goes well, did another big jump in growth, starts taking a lot of water in a few days, always a good sign. Conditions are similar to before, slowly transitioning into flower, hopefully with a good bit of stretch soon. Increased the feeding a bit again, trying to see how she reacts to it, autos in hydro are always a bit of an experiment but with time you find your formula.

Week 7 Flower — Sundae Driver (Grow Diaries Report) Quick recap for new readers From seed to here, this run has been a careful dance between living soil, precision feeding, and adaptive training: • Seeds germinated with Aptus support, then transplanted directly into 11L fabric pots of enriched soil. • Minimal veg — early switch to flower under 11/13 schedule. • One tall “moon-shot” top supercropped early in flower to control height and redirect hormones → result: knuckle healed beautifully, more bud sites formed. • Feeding has been a Plagron + Aptus combo, alternating between soil-driven nutrition and steering solutions, keeping EC and pH carefully managed. • By Week 6, we saw resin pouring in, trichomes swelling, pistils still pushing white, and strong aroma developing. Now, in Week 7, we are right in the heart of bulking. ⸻ Environmental update • Outside: brutal heatwave (temps up to ~45°C / 110°F). • Grow space: thanks to AC, canopy temps hold around 28°C with the lung room at ~21.8°C. • Humidity: still high, ~62%. Ideally we’d want 45–55% at this stage, but the girls are adapting beautifully — no visible signs of mold or rot, airflow and plant vigor are keeping them safe. • Tools: Trolmaster and Spider Farmer apps logged to share transparent data. ⸻ Feeding & recipe this week You’ve reintroduced the All-in-One liquid into the Plagron + Aptus recipe, pushing EC slightly higher again for an extra boost: • Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation → stacking, sugars, and bloom density. • Aptus Regulator + CalMag Boost → structural strength, stress resilience, mineral balance. • All-in-One liquid → full-spectrum nudge to keep driving flower bulking. This “soil-first, solution-steering” approach works perfectly here. The soil still holds a strong base load (your earlier EC readings confirmed this), and the solution acts like an accelerator without overloading. ⸻ Plant performance & structure • Bulking: Both Sundae Drivers are filling out massively — flowers are swelling, colas thickening, side branches almost unable to hold themselves upright. • Support: You’ve improvised by tying branches to each other, preventing collapse. This is a classic late-flower “good problem”: weight means density. • Supercrop site: completely healed, producing solid flower along the bent top and nearby branches. A textbook example of how to redirect growth without losing yield. • Color: Leaves still lush green, minimal fade — showing balanced feeding and no major deficiencies. ⸻ Trichomes & pistils — where we stand • Trichomes: Frost is stacking heavy — from sugar leaves to outer calyxes, a shimmering coat is spreading. Under magnification, most heads are clear-to-cloudy, with some areas beginning to lean more cloudy. Amber not yet common — perfect for Week 7. • Pistils: Still plenty of white hairs, but we’ll begin to see darkening and curling soon as calyxes mature and resin production peaks. • Meaning: Plants are still actively in the bulking/resin-factory stage. Harvest is not yet — but we’re entering the critical monitoring phase. ⸻ What Week 7 means (technically) This is the late bulking / mid-ripening window. • Calyxes expand → actual bud density increases. • Terpenes develop rapidly → strong smells, unique cultivar expression. • Resin pathways peak activity → cannabinoids build, but need 1–2+ more weeks to fully mature. • Risk window for botrytis → high humidity + dense colas = careful airflow essential. ⸻ What to expect next week Expect: • Noticeable increase in aroma — terpenes often “pop” around Week 8. • Trichomes shifting more to cloudy; a few ambers may begin depending on genetics. • Pistils starting to darken and recede, giving buds a more “finished” look. • Possible leaf fade (yellowing from the bottom up) as mobile nutrients are pulled into flowers. Don’t expect (yet): • Full amber trichome maturity — too early. • True “final swell” — that’s more Weeks 8–9+. • Safe humidity window — continue to monitor closely, as the dense colas can surprise you. ⸻ Practical checklist for Week 7 • Support colas: stake, tie, or net if branches keep falling. Weight will only increase. • Dehumidify if possible: even a small drop to ~55% would reduce risk of bud rot. • Airflow: max canopy circulation; keep oscillating fans moving air through colas, not just over them. • Microscope/loupe checks: continue logging trichomes daily or every other day — aim for a clear photographic timeline. • Smell watch: sudden changes in aroma (musty instead of fruity/sweet) can be early warning of mold. • Continue balanced feeding: don’t pull nutrients too early — Week 7 is still active bulking. ⸻ Reflection — the beauty of Week 7 Both Sundae Drivers are now showing their full potential: heavy colas, strong resin, vibrant health despite high heat and humidity challenges. This week is less about intervention and more about careful support: holding up branches, keeping airflow right, and letting the plants finish their masterpiece. The photos and videos (especially the behind-the-scenes “hands and camera” shots) add a human touch to the diary, it’s not just about the plants, but about the grower’s relationship with them. That connection, plus the technical details, is what makes our journey so special. ⸻ Gratitude & closing Week 7 is a turning point, the moment where patience pays off, where you get to watch the plants finish their story. Thank you to Plagron and Aptus for the tools, and thank you to the community who reads, comments, and shares this journey. We are almost there, but not yet.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. 🌱✨ For those of you who are afraid of trying out super cropping, this diary is living proof that it works. The bent stem bounced back stronger, healed into a solid knuckle, and rewarded us with extra bud sites and bigger flowers. Don’t fear new techniques. If your plant is stretching too much, or if you want to unlock more yield, super cropping is a safe, effective way to train her. Trust your plants, trust the process, they’re stronger than you think.

Week 3: Vegetative Stage – Training, Defoliation, and Entering Full Flower The Apricot Autos have really taken off this week. I’ve been doing a little defoliation here and there, but over the course of training and tucking, I sometimes get a little heavy-handed and manage to break the odd leaf. Even with these occasional slips (you can see it in the pics), the plants are still shaping up nicely and getting huge, though not as much as my previous grow, which was also Fast Buds autos. By the end of the week, the plants have started to noticeably stretch, which I’m happy about since it makes them easier to train. At this stage, I like to train using mental pegs, gardening wire, and leaf tucking. I rarely remove any leaves until I have a clearer idea of the plant’s final shape, which did evolve quickly this week, prompting me to take action. On day 27, one of the plants is entering full flower, while the one with the misshapen leaf is a couple of days behind. The difference between the two is becoming less noticeable, although one is still bigger. Current Setup: Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite mix with Great White Mycorrhizae added during transplant Lights: DLI set to 22 Nutrients: Big Plant Science (introduced midweek) Despite breaking a leaf or two during training, both plants are progressing well, with flowering now fully underway.

09/29/2020 Washing off all the nasty dust, pollen,and such that has accumulated over her long veg and flower period. She is 72.1 grams wet I guess she should dry out to around 18-22 grams. Which is fine as this was a tester to see if I will do again. I am keeping a clone till I grow a few dozen more seeds, to see different phenotype/genotype. It will take some time but I am hunting for a UNICORN before I will stop! 🙏 lol Good candidate for a grafting project Will update the rest of the report in a couple weeks to let dry out and cure some before testing. I chose this strain because it is said to not make me hungry and no red eyes but I will let you know soon.🙏 10/07/2020 She's dry and jarred up final weight 21.2 grams. Smell of hay and sugar should improve over next couple weeks. Preliminary smoke report, very smooth not much taste but feel it right away soon after first hit last 3.5 hrs. So just waiting on the cure for full flavor report.

(12/2020) Day 18 Strawberry Pie has been doing great. I began LST training her three days ago. It was amazing to see the fast growth within the three days. The plant is looking very promising with many cola areas beginning to grow. I watered her yesterday with a half tablespoon of honey mixed within the 6.2 PH water. She seemed to like the watering and honey as she perked up afterwards. I will continue to LST the plant in a counter clockwise direction so that an even canopy creates. (12/23/2020) Week 3! I watered the Strawberry Pie also with 6.0 Phd water and a half tablespoon of honey melted in. I got the vibe she was thirsty. It is crazy to see the difference between three days of LST does.

Poly Harvest 622g lost about 3g to bud rot as one bud was about to go south due to all the wet assed weather lately. good thing we got her today. Easy trim Wow did winter ever get here fast. Snow this weekend so everything is chopped. Busy busy day Not sure how to amend the harvest to include Zona - 445 grams wet but do what I can She did well and in the end was healthier than Poly. Very slight point of bud rot (cold and wet) perhaps one gram affected. Will update dry weight as I may BTW the dog in the video is named Mater and he loves cannabis, he hangs around when I harvest and eats any leaves I discard. No hes a good dog leaves the plants themselves alone :) Zona 167 grams dry I am good with that on a plant almost cut down lost a few grams to bud rot nothing remarkable given the weather

This one is dedicated to Velvet Moon exclusively. The other diary is for both strains, that's because I only have one more strain and it's an auto, so I'm not going to make an exclusive diary for her.

Well I've had a few problems along my first grow but thankfully the WW being a tough strain I made it work and I'm very happy with my outcome and I'll be doing a few things differently for sure, for a start I've changed my pots to new 13 ltr pots and can't wait to see what happens so that's one of many things I'm changing Looking forward to sharing with you all soon my new diary and love to grow 🌱✌️

Harvested week 7 day 46 of flower. My 3rd time growing this strain & this was the best grow, even though she was only a foot tall, she was around 2 square feet in width & had big stacked dense colas all over her.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Jour105 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 Jour107 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 Jour110 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3

Should probably start my 2 week flush at the end of this week but I want to harvest this plant and my other one(which is 2.5 weeks behind) at the same time so I'm probably going to try and push the feeding another 2 weeks until I start the final flush, trying to have this stay in flower for 10 weeks, the breeder says flowering period takes 8-10 weeks so I think I'll still be just fine. This week went well, the plants are slowly starting to fade and colors are starting to come out. Gonna follow through with my original plan and continue feeding lightly for the next week or two until I start the final flush. I also raised the lights a bit this week mainly to help and give more light to my second plant that stretched so much its main cola is hitting the grow light, and also to help prevent any foxtailing from occurring.

Week 18 (14-10 to 20-10) 14-10 Temps: 17.9 to 26.9 degrees Humidity: 42% to 67% Watering: 2000 ml. The buds are getting heavy and they are falling over, so i straightened them with some wires. Now i regret not topping and installing a scrog rack sooner haha 😅 I also removed some damaged leaves. 15-10 Temps: 17.3 to 26.4 degrees Humidity: 46% to 71% 16-10 Temps: 17.9 to 26.8 degrees Humidity: 51% to 73% 17-10 Temps: 18.9 to 27.6 degrees Humidity: 44% to 77% Watering: 2000 ml. 18-10 Temps: 18.6 to 27.8 degrees Humidity: 50% to 82% 19-10 Temps: 19.8 to 26.8 degrees Humidity: 46% to 75% Watering: 2000 ml. 0.8 calcium, 0.4 hybrids, 0.5 PK+ EC: 1.4 PH 6.2 The humidity at night is too high for my liking, i already have a dehumidifier running but its still too high. At the end of the day i opened an extra ventilation hole at the bottom (only had one open) I hope this will lower the humidity a bit. 20-10 Temps: 18.4 to 26.6 degrees Humidity: 48% to 65%

Began flowering early this week. Installed drain tray for bottom watering all pots. Watered with recharge, kelp, fish emulsion. Top dressed with castings and compost. Installed scrog. Lights at 80% and being raised toward 100% daily

Plant is way heavy i dont do a trim when wet so i dont weigh it when its first chop. Will weigh when dry get a good weigh in. This stuff has a strong lemon smell but also tries to take ur breath with something else. Will be interesting cant wait must be patient. Do my drying in 60°f and 60% rh for 14 days or close to. Looks so juicy like disco balls!!!

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Dutch Passion for trusting me with the honor and pleasure of growing their Tropical Tangie. It's an incredible strain, and I can't wait to see what she brings to the table. So, shout out to @DutchPassion_Official and the Grow diaries Platform for making this journey possible! Now, let's talk about the germination process. I followed the typical seed germination method, placing the seed in water. And you won't believe it, within about 30 hours, she sprouted her tiny little taproot. It was like a magical moment, witnessing the start of a new life. After careful consideration, I decided it was time to move her into a small pot filled with Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This is a special blend that contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, which form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It's like giving my Tropical Tangie a team of underground helpers, ready to support her growth. But that's not all! To give her an extra boost, I added Aptus Holland Water Regulator, which helps optimize water absorption and distribution within the plant. And to kickstart her growth, I used the Micordrip from Aptus Holland as well, which provides essential microelements to support healthy development. It's like giving her a tailor-made nutrient cocktail for success. Now, let's talk about the plant guardians, the Ninja Legos! These little guys may seem like toys, but they are the unsung heroes of my garden. Not only do they bring a touch of whimsy and fun, but they are also masters at keeping bugs and bad energies away. They're like the silent protectors of my precious plants, ensuring a safe and harmonious growing environment. Plus, who doesn't love a good joke about Ninja Legos? So, my friends, here we are embarking on the Ninja Lego Tropical Run with Dutch Passion. It's a journey filled with love, passion, and the support of Aptus Holland as my sponsor. Together, we're creating something special. Stay tuned for more updates as we witness the growth and development of the magnificent Tropical Tangie. Thank you, Aptus Holland, for your support, and a big shout out to Dutch Passion for making dreams come true. Let the adventure begin! As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dutchpassion #dogdoctorofficial #legoninjago #growerslove
