eek 1 Flower – Light Shift, Energy Shift: The Sundae Driver Flip Begins The light has changed. The rhythm has changed. And so begins the next phase of our journey with these two beautiful Sundae Driver phenos—F2 and F3, strong, structured, and ready for the path ahead. Light Flip: 11/13 Schedule This week marks the official light flip, we’ve moved from 18/6 to 11 hours ON, 13 hours OFF. This is more than a timer tweak, it’s an intentional signal to the plants. It tells them: “It’s time to shift your energy. It’s time to bloom.” Why 11/13 and not the classic 12/12? From past experience, this slightly reduced light period tends to: • Encourage faster onset of flowering • Mimic natural seasonal changes more closely • Push plants gently but clearly into the bloom phase • Slightly reduce internodal stretching, depending on strain It’s a subtle technique for growers who want to bring their genetics into flower with intention, not just automation. ⸻ Current Plant Stats Both Sundae Driver phenos are looking phenomenal: • F2 (Pheno #2): 7 to 8 solid nodes, well-structured branching • F3 (Pheno #3): 6 to 7 nodes, evenly spaced, healthy top growth • Height: ~40 cm each • Structure: Symmetrical, thriving, ready to stretch They’re not showing pistils yet—no visible pre-flowers, no white hairs, but that’s expected. It’s Week 1 Flower by light schedule, not by physiology. The hormonal shift has just begun. ⸻ Nutrient Shift – From Start to Top This week also marks a change in the feed program. We’re saying goodbye to Aptus Start Booster and welcoming Top Booster into the rotation. • Why the switch? Because the plants are transitioning from root-zone stimulation to pre-flower induction. • Top Booster is designed to: • Initiate floral development • Begin the phosphorus-potassium push • Provide trace elements aligned with bloom-stage signaling We’re using the same measurements as Start Booster, no shock, no surge. Just a clean hand-off, keeping the biological engine running smooth. Current Feed Includes: • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Aptus All-in-One Liquid • Aptus Top Booster (new this week) ⸻ Environmental Stats – Pushing the Edge, Managing the Heat • PPFD: 760 µmol/m²/s – Measured on the TrolMaster MBS-PAR sensor, dialed in • Temp: 31°C – Yes, a bit high, but the girls aren’t complaining • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 – High, but within tolerance while waiting for AC upgrade We’re riding the edge this week. It’s warm, it’s dry, but the plants are thriving, showing no signs of stress. Their resilience is a testament to your setup, your genetics, and your love. ⸻ Looking Ahead – What to Expect We’re now in the hormonal build-up phase. The girls are about to stretch, about to signal floral commitment. Here’s what we might see by next week: • First white pistils • Stretch kicking in • Top growth pushing harder than lower nodes • Nutrient demands subtly shifting—watch potassium and magnesium uptake What not to expect yet: • Buds • Resin • Drastic shape changes That comes soon—but not quite yet. ⸻ Closing Thoughts – A Sunday Drive Into Bloom This isn’t just a new phase, it’s a new pace. The grow has shifted gears, and you can feel it in the rhythm of the room. Light is shorter. Energy is tighter. But the intention is louder than ever. The Sundae Driver girls are leading us gently into bloom, graceful, balanced, and full of promise. Thank you for following along.

Beginning of week 7 in flower, only two more weeks left if they ripen like they did last time. Plants are beginning to smell, develop triches and fattening up. They're not going to get any taller but compared to my first grow they're double in size. It's getting really intense. I'm in there every day checking humidity (on the no defol side) and I'm starting to struggle keeping up with the feed. During lights off I've found the plants eat the most food. I topped up the res, added 25% more PK. I try to keep the plants at 700 ppm and in the space of four hours it dropped to 600 ppm (towards the end of lights off). I stopped directly loading with Calcium Nitrate and instead used a regular calmag. I'm about to go overboard with Calcium Nitrate again and bump the ppm up to 1k. Will see how far the ppm drops the next day. 17/02/20 Update: The plants are beginning to smell a lot more, it has that kind of fermenting pungent smell from a red paw paw but applied to a mango. Very sweet, it literally smells like I'm growing some kind of tropical fruit. Still struggling with the feed, I added close to 40g of calcium nitrate and the plants still dropped the ppm lower than when I boosted it. I find it really frustrating that Dual Fuel only sell as a pair. Part 2 is amazing for late flower. Potassium sulphate and Magnesium sulphate, it's the perfect PK boost and I don't know anyone other nutrient like it. The other PK boosters always have too much P. 18/02/20 Update: Still battling my plants and the efforts to keep up with them is still frustrating me. Ran out of potassium Sulphate and bought Bio Diesel Rhino K 0-0-15 as a substitute, talk about expensive but I was desperate. 19/02/20 Update: Uploaded how I pump calcium into my plants this late into flower. They eat more than what I showed daily. That's 100+ ppm of Ca everyday! I don't know how much pectin this plant has now but the Brix would have to be through the roof compared to my first grow. 20/02/20 Update: finally got the feed right for a twelve hour period. I'm using two times the amount of K any bloom booster recommends and I'm probably using ten times the amount of calcium easily. I'm also going to feed as minimal N from now on, I'd cut it out completely if I could but I rely on Micros for the macro nutrients. Spent $65 on that bottle of potash and I used a third of a bottle for one nutrient change, think I'll stick to using powered water soluble potassium sulfate. My main concern is that I won't be providing enough iron with the little Micro I'm giving it. Going to throw a couple of rustry nails into the res. I'm about to do a top up...dropping the Micro super low, putting minimal part 2 in. Along with all the fulvics, humics, kelp and other acids my ppm only sits at 244. Which gives me plenty of room to load up on calcium. Top up the mag cause what was in the part 2 wasn't enough then load K. 21/02/20 Update: The plants finally stalled and took a breather yesterday. Didn't upload any photos cause it looked the same as the day before. By the end of the evening it looked like the explosive growth started back up again and the photos from today will show it. The ppm was creeping up not down this time...finally over feeding them. Dropped the extra loading of calcium and potassium to regular bloom phase levels and bumped the chelators up instead. Update 22/02/20: plants aren't eating what they were. Ppm is remaining stable at 800. I won't dilute the res just yet. Still holding off to see if it goes up again. If it goes down I'll refeed the same formula as last time that has reduced calcium and potassium.

terza settimana pianta che cresce tranquilla e sana

Hallo zusammen und willkommen in Blütewoche 8 Vor drei Tagen haben Sie zum ersten mal den EC- Wert von 2,2 genießen dürfen. Die Pink Mist arbeiten da wirklich super mit, wohingegen die SQ1 wieder arg am Limit gekratzt hat was den Nährstoffgehalt betrifft. Seit dem her trinken sie nur Wasser mit nem Schuss Cal/Mag. Der schon in letzter Woche erwähnte getrocknete Kaffeesatz (Phosphor, Kalium Reservat) lässt uns über die Tage des nicht Düngens dessen ruhig Schlafen. Seit einer halben Woche fahren wir auch mit 11 Lichtstunden. Dennoch und es war ja bewusst, der Bedarf war zu dem Zeitpunkt wirklich hoch und da wir vorher recht mager gefahren sind entschlossen wir uns für eine Anregung dahingehend. Der eigenen Unachtsamkeit wird uns auch nicht mehr widerfahren, gut aussehende Pflanzen beim Messen so nicht mehr zu Beachten, dass es zu einer Verbrennung kommt. Das Wort ,,Ausruhen,, trifft es hier glaube ich ganz gut... Dieses wiederum trifft aber auch wieder gut zu Perfektionisten hm hm :-) Ansonsten sind sie einfach nur wunderschön anzusehen ;-) Für ein Winter Grow wirklich schöne Farben! In diesem Sinne, wir hoffen euch gefallen auch ein paar Bilder bzw. das kurze Video und wünschen euch allen eine angenehme kommende Erfolgreiche Woche! Bis Dahin, beste Grüße 😉

so fucking sticky.. smells so sweet.....

Week 5 and she smells amaaaziiing haha This is by far the BEST strain u can get I dont touch her orher then feeding and next week starting the ripen feeding for 10 days, then a 3 day flush and cut her down she is so perfect

Tag 40: Ich habe die Cookies Gelato etwas entlaubt.

Další týden za námi. Už nehnojim Magnifical. Začíná to řádně smrdet. Ale není nic lepšího než když po probuzení cítíte tento model. Už se moc těším . Sklizeň bych viděl tak 10.2. No uvidíme. Nechci to zakriknout. :) Have nice day. 💚🍀

Monday, March 1st. What should I say, than iam getting used to that small Pots I filled some Clay Granules on the Surface of the Eggcups ( Sheeps) That helps me keep them happy The autoflower is performing well. Nice Flowers appear everywhere, and she looks quite happy

Week 2 G14 started adding biobizz grow along side nitrozyme everything looks perfect staying short and bushy il put a net on top in a few weeks when shes big enough I've started to tuck the leaves in on day 13.

Nice and steady growth. No extra feedings yet, just water for now.

Yyyyyyyyyuyyyyy

[GERMINATION 3/23] Playing with fire from Clearwater Genetics! A cross between Dosido#18 (OG kush Breath x Face Off OG) & Creamsicle#4 (Cookies & Cream x Purple punch) = MALT MILKSHAKE 🔥🍦 Seeds Are starting out with a 12 Hr soak in fresh spring water, then placed into a seed start substrate inside a humidity dome over heating pad. ( Fox Farm Light Warrior )

Jack Herer Auto is doing well. She is progressing into flowering nicely she is under a 100 watt SF-1000 in Athena blended line nutrition. I am curious to see how she does with the grow being in a cooler spot. Thank you Spider farmer, Athena, and ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are in day 25 and as you can see, this girl is thriving! I've been a little heavy handed with the training, but i'm putting her to the ultimate test 💪 😎 .. i think it's a problem I have.I can't keep my hands off my ladies 😜 .. Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron thank you both for making this contest possible. I know I really appreciate it. And i'm sure many others do as well.. to everyone in the contest. God bless and good luck to everyone in the contest and to everyone else, God bless good luck and happy growing ✌️. Day 26: today we did some more LST and she is officially split and has handled everything well .. also have a new friend in the tent protecting my girls .. Happy growing ✌️

Day 53: In this last week I moved all the plants again and removed the leaves and branches for the last time. Twenty or twenty-five days at the most for the first harvest, and I can already draw up a final report on the genetics of this strain. On eight plants of Gorilla four showed a predominance indica with a large central cola and less ramifications. Two plants are much more bushy have a sativa predominance with longer buds and have branched out a lot. For the last two unfortunately has dominated the photoperiodic genetics and their flowering is considerably late, so as to be overcome by the two cheeses that are in bloom more advanced. However, the pistils have popped up and started to bloom, so the autoflowering genetic part is present. I am a patient grower anyway, so I will wait for them to complete their cycle even if I have to wait about three months. In these days I have added to my secret garden four other varieties: 1 Purple Glam Kush and 1 Sweet Tooth Auto by Bulk Seeds, 1 Critical Rapid by Barney's Farm and 1 Northern Lights x Blueberry by i49 Seeds. New dedicated journals on arrival 😉

Que pasa familia, actualizamos las lemon kush y que aroma ya, empezamos apreciar olores en el cuarto, os aseguro que viene de aquí, tienen buen color, no es lo más grande pero se garantiza un buen desarrollo. En las imágenes podéis apreciar bien el proceso semana tras semana. 55% de humedad maxima y 29 grados maximos de temperatura.

Both plants have almost stopped growing in heigth now and are in full flowering mode now. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) Plant #1 is 15 cm shorter than plant #2, but a little bushier. Both have grown very well and are strong and healthy. They get more and more flower clusters now and start to fill up all branches. Trichomes start to appear all over...the plants start to get sticky and develop a weak sweet aroma now. Its time to take off the biggest fan leaves now for defoliation, I took a round of pics before and after.

Doing a rerun with the keeper pheno due to herming stemming from a power outage.

Hello everyone, The girls are finally outside in 20 gallon fabric pots. This season I have a greenhouse for them and I hope it goes good. Still have to build the first cages around them and start stretching them. 🎊🎉 finally, summer is here 🎉🎊 See you guys next week 🤞🤞🤘🤘👊👊👊
