DE: In der sechsten Blütewoche erreichen beide Last Dance-Phänotypen ihren absoluten Höhepunkt – visuell, aromatisch und energetisch. Der erste Phäno zeigt sich in seiner vollen „Black Magic“-Pracht: ultra funky, tief dunkelgrün bis leicht violett schimmernd, mit unglaublich dichten, klebrigen Colas. Das Harzlevel ist enorm – selbst die Fächerblätter glitzern vor Trichomen. Sein Geruch ist intensiv, fast berauschend: eine Mischung aus schwerem Funk, süß-gassigen Noten und einer tiefen, dunklen Würze, die an die Black Magic-Eltern erinnert. Die Struktur ist kräftig und perfekt ausbalanciert, jede Blüte wirkt kompakt und voller Energie. Der zweite Phänotyp geht klar in die fruchtigere Richtung und zeigt deutliche Einflüsse der Zangria-Eltern. Die Buds sind etwas heller, dafür aber extrem aromatisch – ein süß-tropischer Duft nach Beeren, Trauben und leichter Zitrusfrische steigt bereits beim Vorbeigehen in die Nase. Optisch lässt er sich klar vom ersten Phäno unterscheiden: weniger dunkel, dafür mit leichten pink-lilafarbenen Einschlägen und sehr harmonischer Blütenstruktur. Auch hier ist die Harzproduktion auf Top-Niveau, aber der Gesamteindruck wirkt etwas „leichter“ und verspielter. Insgesamt ist die sechste Blütewoche ein absolutes Spektakel – der erste Phäno steht für pure Funky-Energie und Tiefe, während der zweite mit fruchtiger, lebendiger Süße glänzt. Beide repräsentieren perfekt die genetische Bandbreite von Last Dance: Power, Charakter und ein unverwechselbarer, komplexer Terpenausdruck. EN: In the sixth week of flowering, both Last Dance phenotypes are at their absolute peak – visually, aromatically, and energetically. The first pheno fully embraces its Black Magic heritage: ultra funky, dark green with a slight purple hue, and packed with insanely dense, sticky colas. The resin coverage is off the charts – even the fan leaves sparkle with trichomes. Its aroma is deep and intoxicating: heavy funk, sweet gas, and dark spicy notes that perfectly capture that Black Magic vibe. The structure is strong and balanced, every bud looking compact and full of energy. The second pheno clearly leans toward the fruitier Zangria side. Its buds are slightly brighter but bursting with aroma – sweet tropical notes of berries, grapes, and a hint of citrus freshness. Visually, it stands apart from the first pheno: less dark, with subtle pinkish-purple tones and a beautifully even flower structure. Resin production is also at its peak, but the overall impression feels lighter, more playful. Overall, week six is a real show – the first pheno embodies raw funky depth, while the second shines with juicy, fruity sweetness. Together, they capture the full Last Dance spectrum: power, personality, and a truly complex terpene expression.

Day 45 of flower today. Seedsmans Gelato.OG (far, left) In House Genetics Terple (center, left) Sirius Seeds Critical Plus (center right) Barney's Farms Pink Kush (back, right). Everything really decided to start fattening up in the last few days. Pink Kush is starting to turn Purpleish pink, and fall all over her self like a drunken, top heavy, 30 something, ex-high school prom queen addicted to xanax and boxed wine.

15.08 Second week going great. The mimosa pheno I hunted is a true monster. Thick stem already nearly as big as the 1.5 inch rockwool cube. Easily over 1 m high. Stacking beautifully. I have a new setup for the 5x5 tent. Vevor EC fan 150mm. With temp and humidity controller paired with prima clima 900m3h carbocone filter which is huge. Also new Mars hydro fc e 8000 light with Bluetooth controller. So far very cool. We will see how it performs. Since I have co2 boosted we will have it cranking at max when the girls hit the bulk phase.

The pound cake auto is really taking off. I’m happy I didn’t top the plant and just let it do its thing. It’s gonna have big long bugs all over the whole plant is just gonna be nugs. Not sure what I did with this plant but I got the roots perfect this time and it’s showing it the growth of the plant

Have some problem with bud leafs. It's looks like potassium def or maybe nut overdosing. My PPM meter was not accurate and I switched to another one. The old one showed 100 PPM less. Thats why I gave 800 PPM instead of 700 PPM

This is a perfect strain for a beginner as it’s so resilient but also good for a more experienced as she can be topped and trained and have huge colas. I would recommend everyone grow Grapefruit 🌱🌱🌱

Discovered a male plant in with my girls in the bigger tent. No pods had burst, it was only about 10 days in to flower. Moved the male to the small tent and moved the older flowering PT clone to the big tent. The larger plant has less time for seeds to develop and while I want seeds, I still want quality bud as well... trying to minimize pollination as much as I can until I have the chance to selectively pollinate branches on each of my girls. This plant got moved to the large tent and ScrOGed. Here’s to hoping I am able to minimize the pollination. This is an end grow and I don’t have any seeds put back so the male isn’t getting chopped until he does fertilize a few females. So far the male has been reduced to three main colas, I hope to only pollinate one branch on each female. Some random seeds from natural pollination are also okay if it happens. Ignore my commentary on the video unless you just want to know about the strains I have lol... a friend has a clone about the same size of the same strain and asked about my grow since getting the same lights I have.

Well I said I was leaving her untrained but on day 56 I gently tied back a few branches to open up the canopy. This is looking like it's going to be my best grow yet.

Still deciding , did a bunch clones and now i will see with are the strongest to keep So the first ones find them selfs in a new pot 😆 for now we have 1 CS phenotype #1 with i decided to top , 2 CS phenotype #3 the hulkeberry one , 1 CS phenotype #2 the fruity smell one , 1 Kushi ( wthis is not on the list but still there😆) and 2 TP phenotype #2 I gave them 0,5L water with a TDS of 380 just to help with. The transplant. Started feedings 💚 All i grow is medicine for myself, nothing to sell so don’t even ask 🙏😅💚 All i grow with love and I’m in a constant phenohunting for that perfect strains, stay tuned, stay happy and stay safe 💚 💚Big love tou you all 💚 💚growers love 💚 💚

Little bit early on this week but as I’m travelling to Amsterdam today I’d like to get it updated today. Heatwave has finally gone, temps dialled in perfectly now. Hopefully with the temps dropped they will start to go purple for that bag appeal! Added another inside the flower tent and starting a separate diary on it. Don’t miss out on that one that strain is 🔥

These plants are getting so frosty, and so smelly! The Terps are the most unique blend of Terps I have ever smelled, and I cannot say I expected it! Terps reek into the whole room, of strong Cherry Berry Wine, a deep ripe/nearly rotten cherry funk, with a background of that Superboof Orange Rinds, and Blue Moon IPA/Hop Terps, with a very slight hints of gassiness but that might be just the orange funk from the Superboof. Some buds are light and airy, not quite like a super silver haze or a NYC Piff kinda light and airy. It's a nice middle ground and looks as if it's gonna wash well! Some buds specifically the ones getting the strongest light, are a bit more dense. Beautiful strcuture,.spear shaped nugs with wacky formations, almost cactus like ! Haven't seen any foxtailing but almost seems as if it might as some point! Color is bright green! Which it's still a bit too early to tell if it's gonna turn purple but according to pictures that the breeder has posted of 2 diff phenos , one being completely purple and the other with a greyish green with spots of purple color! So I look forward to seeing how it looks! This Pheno has a completely different structure then the 2 Homegrown Genetics posted! Super stable for having such different genetic variation !

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.

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 11 Jan. 13 - Jan. 19, 2020 Jan. 15, 2020 CS #1 & #2 are coming along nicely. No amber trichomes but wow t the plants are frosty and they have a strong pungent smell. When thr main cola is bent a little sideways it really begins out the smell. The smell is like a gassy, diesel fuel, strong chemically smell. I love it. CS #3 is giving me some problems. The pics might show it. The leaf tips are curling up and thr leaf edges are turning brown. Not sure if I can correct this befor harvest. It's late into flower. I may just ride it out until then. I've topped dress once weekly for the last 4 weeks with kelp, and a blend from roots organic for bloom 4-6-3.
