HULKBERRY So this week, I was actually looking to harvest her, but whilst I was defoliating in preparation for the chop, I saw that the buds below the canopy are still underdeveloped. I just removed the rest of the dead leaves and watered instead. It was absolutely bone dry because I was planning to chop. Oops! 😅 Anyway, here's what I used for feedings this week: 20.6.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 and containing the following nutrients per 2 litres; ♡ 1/4 Tsp Cal-Mag ♡ 1/2 Tsp Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) All by Greenleaf Nutrients. PH: 6.5 PPM: 1400 I gave another 2ltrs this day consisting of: 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with the following nutrients; ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1 Tsp Mega Crop Part A PPM: 1280 PH: 6.5 22.6.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 and containing the following nutrients per 2 litres; ♡ 3/4 Tsp Cal-Mag ♡ 1/2 Tsp Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) All by Greenleaf Nutrients. PH: 6.5 PPM: 1450 + I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 and containing the following nutrients per 2 litres; ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.6 PPM: 660 23.6.25: I gave 4l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with the following nutrients; ♡ 1ml Ecothrive Trace PPM: 333 PH: 6.6 + I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 and containing no nutrients. PH: 6.3 PPM: 307 Thanks for checking in and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱

Hello,,, semaine 11, floraison 7. Nous sommes à la fin, ja vais les laisser aujourd’hui dans le noir pendant 24/48h. Et ensuite procéder à la récolte et au séchage lent pendant environ 15 jours. Je suis assez satisfait de ce cycle de culture même si il y a encore pas mal de choses que je peux améliorer pour la suite. Comme l’utilisation du toppping, du scrog et du LST pour essayer d’améliorer le rendement et la qualité. Je suis aussi très très satisfait de ma lampe, la slim 600H de chez OpticLED. La lampe semble vraiment donner de très bon résultats. J’ai hâte de refaire une cycle avec. Voilà, je referais un update avec de nouvelles photos et vidéos cette semaine dans 48h avant la mise au séchage. Happy grow...😎

July 26: Lemon Cream Kush is doing just fine. Nicely recovered from me breaking one of the two main stems several weeks ago. I managed to tape it and she recovered quite well but it delayed things a bit and left her a bit asymmetric. Did a fourth lazy compost tea, see video explaining how i do it without an air pump and using cheap ingredients like blackstrap molasses and Epsom salts. July 29: defoliated lower fan leaves and small lower bud sites. Aug 1: added another round of malted barley and Power Bloom because the cannabis plants are showing signs of P deficiency. Blue-ish leaves and reddish petioles on another plant should be fixed by the malt and Power Bloom.

5/4 I stupidly watered everything this morning. They were pretty much perfect weight for transplant......then I watered them. Oh well. If that's the worst mistake I make I'll be ecstatic. Went back over and found my 1 gal and 2 of those wierd slanty airports that tapers and holds like a gallon and a half and washed them. I mixed up 12 gallons of soil in a garbage bag and mixed it thoroughly with my gloved hands. It's mixed good. Looking at my plants in sadness thinking, "today could've been the day" and noticed a Special Kush of average size I didn't water that weighed in the 220's. I was happy. I filled the pit arpund a cup before removing it leaving the perfect hole. Mykos and water were poured in. Plant came out of the cup REALLY easy. Suprisingly easy. This wasn't totally dry. I was amazed it came out so easy so I kinda rolled it around looking at the roots. I started lowering it in the hole and I felt something break away but it webt DIRECTLY into the hole made for it. I tucked some soil around it but it was pretty tight from packing it around the empty cup. Didn't take a picture but the plant is fine. That was an average size plant too. So I may have to give some of the strains I popped later a little longer before I transplant. After everything's been transplanted I'll need to change lighting again. I think I'll open the window and use the hps and the l.e.d on the days and nights cThat's these girls won't be hardening off. I so wanna go plant those others but my intuition tells me to wait until morning and it's been serving me well. A couple can stay in cups longer. Not much longer but still. 5/5 Transplanted everything but two this morning into 1 gals with 1/2 happy frog half ocean forest. Mykos and water used during transplant. Found put the l.e.d was on for 24hrs for a while. I made sure the timer switch was ON but it was a different cord plugged in. Oh well. All transplants went perfect. I'm picking up an adapter for the outlet so I can plug the power strip into the timer and only use one timer. I had to hang the 150watt hps back up with the 1,000 watt equivelant 105 true watts. I hope this lighting setup works. Chemdog #4 and One MK Ultra will be transplanted later today or later in the morning. I also opened the shade to the south facing window. Shits getting real. EDÌT: I FINISHED TRANSPLANTING THE LAST TWO PLANTS AND PICKED UP THE ADAPTER SO I COULD HANG THE HPS NEXT TO THE L.E.D. THEY WERE FIBE WHILE I WAS GONE. EASIEST TRANSPLANTS EVER. THEY ALL LOOKED PERKY AND HAPPY SIX OR SEVEN HOURS POST TRANSPLANT. I OPENED THE CURTAIN TO (SOUTH FACING WINDOW) BUT I MADE SURE THE PLANTS WEREN'T IN THE DIRECT LIGHT. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE. LAST TIME I HAD SEEDLING IN DIRECT LIGHT. I'LL PLAY IT BY EAR BUT IM HAPPY. EDIT 2. Went back over to meditate by the stream and do my qigong. It's 75 and BEAUTIFUL today. The girls will be going out for a few hours on days like this. Anyway when I went in I was surprised to see everything looking nice and happy with praying leaves. Nothing is in direct sunlight but damn that window let's in a lot of light. 5/6 Girls LOVED the transplant! They seem to be all happy. No stress. Easiest transplant I've done. Leaves are praying upwards so I think the lights are approx tje right distance. They'll be going outside soon to harden off. It's been in the 70s but it's rainy now. I'll play it by ear according to weather. I'll continue to monitor lighting and I may lower the hps. 5/7 The soil was super dry when I went over this morning. Everything looked awesome though. I used about a half gallon watering. I don't want to water to run off. I want to keep the nutes IN the soil. It's also easier to fix an undet watered plant than an over watered one. It came out to about a half gaterade bottle on the biggest and half that on the smallest. I'll gradually increase water after I monitor the response. The water sat on the soil for quit a while so they definitely needed it. Looking good so far. 5/8 Soil lookeddry this morning. I think I'm going to up the water. Last time I dod seeds I gave like a pink. Some plants still had a little dampness where I watered that I could see. Others looked dry but happy. I gave the REAL dry bigger ones a small circle around the rootball. Just in case. I'm thinking of lowering the hps slightly so it's at least level with tje L.E.D. That window being open gives tons of light. If u moved them slightly left they'd get DIRECT sun most of the time. I'll be bringing them outside soon to start hardening them off. EDIT: WENT TO CHECK THE GIRLS AT 5 TO MAKE SURE THEY WERENT DRIED OUT. THESE GIRLS ARENT JUST GETTING BIGGER BY THE DAY THEYRE LOOKING BIGGER FROM MORNING TO NIGHT! ITS BEEN RAINING LIKE CRAZY BUT WE WILL HAVE GREAT WEATHER NEXT WEEK AND I'LL BE BRINGING THEM OUTSIDE. I'M SUPER HAPPY WITH GROWTH SO FAR. ILL PROBABLY HST (TOP/FIM) AT THE NEXT NODE. I WANT THEM TO SETTLE IN NICELY BEFORE STRESSING THEM. 5/9 I may have stupidly uploaded doubles of pictures from today. Soil LOOKED real dry. I gave the plants their first real watering. I still went light. Almost a gallon with all plants. I know many say I should be watering to runoff but I want to keep the nutes in the soul as long as I can I don't want to overwater. I always start out careful. Once they show they xan tolerate it I'll increase water next time. This weekend it will be raining but after that we are getting some real good weather and I'll he taking the girls out to begin hardening off. I also need to take a look and top/FIM the plants now that they are settled. Also need to wash grow bags and sanitize outside. 5/10 It's pouring out. Horrible night and morning but this is about cannabis. After the watering ALL the plants shot up in size! Substantially. Leaves are over the sides of containers. I think I'm somewhere close with the watering schedule. I may bring the hps light down a little. I also NEED to start HST. I need to FIM and/or top these girls. Unfortunately I've been dealing with medical problems of my wife so I haven't got to it. If I get some sleep I may do something this morning or in the afternoon.

GENERAL COMMENT. WEEK 5 OF FLOWER. Ok guys, this week ran ok for one girl and less for her sister, so i will go on details individually. RQS STRESS KILLER AUTOMATIC COMMENT. Beautiful girl getting bigger everyday, i’m very satisfied overall, she is fast and have lots of terpenes, and started heavy resin production. Super strong, absolutely no issue at all for now. I’m imagining to start flushing this week or the next will decide this days to come, but this grow will be max 12 weeks. Not reading the runoff on this girl as everything is just amazing. Maybe will backbuild some colas to compare. EC at 2.2, released a lot of N now, but still did a good feeding, it might be the last, or max one more before the flush. Will be flushing with flawless finish in the last week.

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.

This week I focused on training — topped her multiple times to encourage a bushy structure. She responded well, showing strong growth and lots of new shoots. The stem is thickening nicely and side branches are stretching out, promising a good number of future bud sites. Very happy with how she’s shaping up so far and she ready for training.

I knew she wasn’t going to get very tall as they are height limited plants so I vegged her until she was as tall as she would get. I lollipped her to an 18” canopy depth in the third week of flower. She reacted very well and even broke my previous single plant harvest record of 434g set by one of my S1 Acid Dough plants!

Red Wine was a joy to grow. Very easy plant that not need a lot of nutrition to eat. Smell is out of this world, cant pinpoint because Ive never done Red Wine ever... But its fruity and a hint of berries. From Seed to flower it took 11 weeks. Thats a fast growing plant

Week 3 ( 28 Jan 2020 - 04 Feb 2020 ) 29 Jan 2020, day 15 It's third week for my small grow room :) I'd say everything is fine, like 7/10 fine ;) One plant shows signs of a problem - leaves are twisting. Beside that there is nothing else to be worried about. I also increased the light distance from the plants and reduced nuts a little. In the same time I switched the light mode to full spectrum. Hope it will do. Done some LST as well, bended plants away from the light, hoping that it will affect their final height. Now I'm running three humidifiers :D :D two controlled by higrostat, one on a timer. Keeping optimal Rh is a challenge here. 3 Feb 2020, day 20 Third week is comming to the end. Now it became noticable how much faster than other strains White Widow is :) It outrunned other plant : +speed autos, Cream Caramel and Old Mandarine with about twice their height ! :) It now is a challange to keep all the plants at the same distance from the light like the others. I will try to bend White Widow down a little next week :) Beside that, everything seem to be perfect. Wish me luck! Will keep ya posted :) Wish me luck and may the luck be with you !
