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.

Time to flush.. it was an honour feeding Molly. She is a monster! Wen’t over my lights lool never had that problem before.. she’s huge and smells amazing.. similar to manderines.. hope i get it right.. this is a strain which requires some expierance. Was a fun and interesting run. Last few days Molly

Great harvest and a easy grow fast say about 65 to 70 days. Lst is a must next go around with this one. After week 3 she Hungry for nutes for sure. So iv smoked it and let me say 10/10 I'm talking. Ghost rider Johnny blaze wow. Smelled like cat piss and then under arms as it dried gassy gas. High is spacey stoned body high for sure as it creeps to your eyes. Don't smoke before work for sure. Create's apatite like no other

Muy satisfecho con la genética ya que el olor era lo que estaba buscando, el efecto es bastante relajante y me pareció muy agradable para pasar con amigos y trabajar.

*********Week 6 - January 13 to 19, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) This is going to be a brief update but that’s a good thing 😀 The week went by pretty quick and overall it was great progress. She stood up more and her bud sites set in and are starting to stack.👍 Her colour holding, on the darker side, and her leaves are still narrow. In a way.....don’t care though......not growing leaves😜😃 Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of leaves that were blocking. Took off a couple of low nodes as well. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has a thick main stem but not excessive....little less than a quarter. She has lots of bud sites with six main stems that should fill-in nicely. Should help increase yield😎👍 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Don’t want to use CalMag much longer though because she already gets lots of nitrogen. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full week for sure. I suspect she will run a full 9 weeks and more likely 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 7....and maybe 8.....thats next week or week after! Therefore, even if I push it I will likely only go another 2 weeks of feeding😟😓😕 Crap time goes fast!!!!!! Gonna have to ensure she is wet and happy👌 Little more detail: Jan 13/20 - Day 36 - 1L feeding of Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo Juice @ 2ml/L. Not pH’d......water been running 6.3. this was in the AM - PM feeding 2L only Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L, Liquid Weight and Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 575ppm pH 5.8. - trying out the Green Planet line so I introduced Massive this week. - lowered temps in room at night. Down to 65 degrees. - suspect the narrow leaves where grower error and nutrient balance......growing buds anyways......saves from a leaf strip at this point in the grow:) Jan 14/20 - Day 37 - Hit her harder today with full strength feed. 5.95pH - Pots were light so 3L feed. Not completely dry......just enough moisture left....3L had a fair bit of run-off.....eating a little less than the other big girl. - Rhino Skin back in for some more silica. - Didn’t go......holly crap she got big last night😮😮.....but she continues to get taller.....the bud sites white hairs really pop now. Jan 15/20 - Day 38 - 2L feed today. Only giving base nutrients and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L pH 6.1. - runoff water: 900ppm and 6.0pH. - drinking more now and she doesn’t give run-off before 2L minimum. - keep an eye on the ppm not getting too high and consider increasing her moisture. Jan 16/20 - Day 39 - 3L full feed today. - want to strip a bunch of her leaves!!!! Keep tucking the leaves but even those stems are stubborn.....good problems👍😝 Jan 17/20 - Day 40 - She is hungry :) - 3L feed full strength. - runoff water: 1400ppm, 5.9pH........medium in okay shape.....little high ppm given what’s been going in. - Good growth last night....liked the nutes👊 Don’t get to eager through😳 too much at this point and she won’t consume them all😉 - In the tent with only Zkittelz is giving a little extra room and she is loving it. Jan 18/20 - Day 41 - She was not dry in the AM but rather inbetween. - watering with supplementals.......Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Weight, VeloKelp, Piranha, Voodoo....and CalMag. - 2L with 240ppm and 6.2pH - nothing in PM.....pots still wet......she is looking for a little less than 3L per day still roughly. - They are growing taller......top of tallest nodes falling to sleep sooner at night. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 24” tall and 28” wide......with LST. Jan 19/20 - Day 42 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again. - runoff: 1350ppm and 6.0pH.......still a little more left in there than going in. - stripped two lower nodes and 1 huge fan leaf. - her buds are getting wider and taller....filling in😎 lots of them......or at least they jump out more with how she is growing👊 - she is happy....keep the same and don’t change things......less than two weeks feed left. Have a great week fellow growers.......

I am finding it difficult to get my camera to take photos and videos with the proper colour hence the double videos! It is unreal how thicc these are getting!! They smell wonderful! The other two plants are starting to show a bit more of their red/purple colours too! Noticing a bit of potassium stress from feeding but since they are nearly finished (I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THAT!) I am only going to pull back a bit. They just need to survive another 14-21 days by the looks of them!

SUMMARY: I flushed her this week on day 92 and thats it for nutes now until harvest on Saturday 10th April. I gave her a little flush on day 87 as she wasn't draining right and was still slowly dying. The runoff pH was 1 point up from the input though I'm not sure I trust the meter readings as my pen is cheap. Either way its in range and harvest is in sight so I'm not fucking around with her now. I am making an effort to feed her 3 times per day now though some days I'm only managing 2 waterings. I read that the more frequently you water the better as each time you water it brings in fresh oxygen to the root zone. Therefore, the more frequently you water, the higher your yield will be. I should have been watering as often as possible throughout really but life and work commitments have restricted it to once-twice per day some days. DAY 87 ----------- Tuesday 23rd March 11:00 I flushed the Amnesia with 1.5L of tap water though I didn't check the pH as the tap water is always 6.2-6.4 which is fine. However after flushing I tested the water before and after going through the medium and according to my pH pen the tap water was reading at 5.1 which simply can't be right but multiple tests showed 5.1. The runoff pH after flush was somehow coming out to 6.1 which just doesn't make ANY sense at all to me. But it's in range and too late in the game to fuck about anymore. [26°C/46%] I made 15L of late bloom nutes with molasses and rainwater. 5L at 5.7, 5L at 5.8, and 5L at 6.0. DAY 88 ----------- Wednesday 24th March 11:00 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 140ml runoff (47%). Wednesday 24th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 200ml runoff (100%). [26°C/48%] DAY 89 ----------- Thursday 25th March 09:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 50ml runoff (17%). Shes draining so much quicker now that I do think there was a build up prior to flushing...and she does seem to be drinking more now...I don't know . [26°C/46%] I made 15L of late bloom nutes with molasses and rainwater. 5L at 5.7, 5L at 5.8, and 5L at 6.0. Thursday 25th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 100ml of late bloom nutes which produced 80ml runoff (45%). [26°C/48%] Thursday 25th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (80%). [26°C/48%] DAY 90 ----------- Friday 26th March 09:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (37%). [26°C/46%] Friday 26th March 14:30 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (55%). [26°C/46%] Friday 26th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 100ml of late bloom nutes which produced 90ml runoff (90%). [26°C/48%] Friday 26th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (80%). [26°C/48%] DAY 91 -------- Saturday 27th March 09:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (37%). [26°C/46%] Saturday 27th March 14:30 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (55%). [26°C/46%] Saturday 27th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 100ml of late bloom nutes which produced 90ml runoff (90%). [26°C/48%] Saturday 27th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (80%). [26°C/48%] DAY 92 -------- Sunday 28th March I flushed her with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume and so I flushed her with more than that to be sure. Moving forward I will be watering her 2-3 times per day with pH'd tap or rain water providing 20-30% runoff each feeding.

She started to flower this week and stacking quick. Still stretching and not to far behind the other olants. Quite a rainy and stormy week so did not need to water but I been consistand on the compoat teas each week. Top dressed with the spent compot tea and roots soaked with 700 pom compost tea with liquid kelp and cal-mag.

Las altas temperaturas han persistido es por esto que el riego ha sido más seguido variando siempre entre fertilizante y agua. Esta vez ya se utilizó Flawless Finish para este último proceso, una vez secándose el sustrato se comienza con la cosecha. Ha sido un buen cultivo. Veremos como termina esto. Seguimos ! 👽💪

Day 28: Happy days folks. hope we are all well and sane still. This week has been a good week for node stacking and starting her frost making it seems. She is a great size to work with now and has responded well to the stripping out of the lower larf and leaf. The airflow is perfect below decks now and allows air to move through the whole canopy and also light to make it through. Her buds are showing her Gelato 41 genetics with their appearance and are identical to the white flame like pistils. She is giving a slight terpene of sweetness and a little diesel too. Her stripping out had my fingers feeling a nice tacky , oily feel to them so she is certainly starting to nurture the budlets. Their golfball appearance is swelling daily and seeing how lose they are to joining up already , holds hope for some long chunky colas. She is approx 3ft now and a good circumference to her too. It is a safe assumption to think she will go the full 11 weeks flowering based on her parentage. The cross of these two strains is so far producing a perfect sized plant for my room and has given me the confidence to dabble in this area in the future I think. Gorilla Zkittelz/Blue Gelato41 is a good X and I know from another seed popped by a friend that Gelato41/Hulkberry creates a 5ft cola'ed monster plant. ( pic in my photos) and I still have crosses of Gelato41 and Cookie Kush , Gelato41 and Phantom O.g , Gelato41 and Orange Sherbet to run !!. I am fortunate to have a lot of these new beans now but I also have some amazing sponsored genetics running and some exciting testers still to do ( 9 more fast flowering strains to put through the wringer and try to identify !.lol) . Well that's another week down and only 7 to go for her. !!!!!!! she has a lot of big stacking buds growing time left. WATCH THIS SPACE !!!!!. Be safe people.

Been another week of crazy stretch for the sugar cane and apple sundae. Been supercropping several branches because they have maxed out my light height at over 4 ft tall. The slurricanes are looking much more manageable and it looks like the stretch is about over on all of them. I switched them over to maxibloom and added a little liquid koolbloom and Beastie blooms to start feeding those flowers. The room is definitely filled up now. just have to keep the juice pumping and see what they do.

Week 12, Day 12 of Flower. All is going well, she is doing nicely, gave her a light defoliation and lollipop. Her last feeding was just Phed water with a drop of super thrive. She’s starting to stretch, currently 20” from the light and I can raise the light another 12” so it should be good for the remainder of the flowering. I did see a slight purpling in some stems so I’ll probably add a little more calimagic in the next feed. All comments and suggestions welcome.

Day 48. They look very nice for such pitty UK summer. Days are in low 20, nights as low as 11.... constant rain .... Happy with that strain a lot !!! Copes through everything without any issues. #1 lost one set of bottom branches , #2 and #3 lost two sets each. They needed good clearing. Cleared all garden from fresh grow, aerated soil, put slug pellets and thats it. Came late so leaves are droopy. Will visit in two weeks to top up with PK boost. Happy Growing !!!

Hey everyone! Since topping has been done on them, I started working on some LST to bulk up and shape the branches. The plants had some very fast responde to the topping and almost no stress, the LST has been working very well too. Next week I will put them under the scrog net and start shaping towards a flower carpet. I have some weird things growing out of the leaves that look like thricomes, does anyone know what this is? Plants seem very healthy. Thxx! 🙏

Prima settimana di fioritura e tutto procede bene ☺️ è impressionante come funziona bene advance nutrients....fanno il lavoro che devono.......

Week 12

My first week is officially over and I’m so thankful to the people who’ve sent so much help and love my way! If you have any hints for me just shoot them on through a comment or something! All contructive critism is welcome here; after alli, it is my first grow! -FirstTime
