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.

Alle 5 Samen wurden in ein Glas mit Wasser und 2 Tropfen Seedbooster von Plagron für ca 20 Stunden eingelegt. Nach ca 20h im Wasserglas ging es für die Ladys in kleine Anzuchttöpfe. Nach 3 Tagen in den Anzuchttöpfen haben 4 Ladys und nach 4 Tagen hat dann auch die 5 Lady das Licht der Welt erblickt. Nächste Woche werden die Ladys dann in jeweils 8l Stofftöpfen Platz finden. Durch die kurze Vegetation sollten die 8L Töpfe ausreichen. Die 4 Ladys die den stabilsten Eindruck machen und sich am meisten im Wachstum ähneln werden behalten. Das Substratgemisch besteht aus ca 70% BioBizz Lightmix und ca 30% Cocos mit Perlien. Ich gebe bei dem Run etwas mehr Cocos hinzu damit das Substrat noch etwas luftiger wird und die Ladys es etwas leichter haben ihre Wurzeln zu bilden und damit vielleicht einen kleinen Wachstumsschub zu erhalten. Auf das ganze kommen dann noch ca 10% Megaworm von Plagron und ein wenig BioGrow das es den Ladys anfangs an nichts fehlt. Die Ladys haben leider etwas weniger Zeit für ihr Wachstum, weil der Contest zeitlich begrenzt ist. Der letzte Grow hat leider auch etwas Zeit in Anspruch genommen. Mal gucken, ich hoffe das es reicht. Mit FarRed als Einschlafhilfe in der Blütephase kann man vielleicht ein paar Tage einsparen. Ich hoffe auf das Beste. Am Ende muss man ja auch etwas Glück mit den Phenos haben. Angegossen wurde mit 1g/L BioEnhancer und 1ml/L PowerRoots. Der ph-Wert wurde vor dem gießen auf 6.0 korrigiert. Jede Lady bekam für den Anfang ca 30-40ml in die Anzuchttöpfe. Mit einer kleinen Heizmatte und den Kuppeln auf den Töpfen wird für das warm/feuchte Klima gesorgt, das die Ladys anfangs benötigen um zu keimen. Am Tag an dem die Ladys das Licht der Welt erblickt haben, kamen die Kuppeln ab und die Ladys spüren dann auch ihre ersten Luftzüge.

SIE BLÜHT Liebe Growmies! Seit 1 Woche ist sie definitiv in der Blüte 💚💚💚 Habe mich aufgrund der Umstellung auf organischen Dünger und der Guano von Compo ist so gut wie aufgebraucht. Deswegen werde ich BioCanna Vega und Flores benutzen weshalb ich diese Woche noch mit Vega düngen und ab nächster Woche auf Flores. Bin gespannt wie der dünger performed für outdoor erscheint mir das einfach praktischer und bin gespannt ob man noch besseren Geschmack erreicht damit. Wenn Sie noch 7 Wochen Blüte vorzubereiten sich hat ist sie Ende September fertig was optimal wäre! Mit 2,5cm Stamm durchmesser geht schon was💜🤜🏻🤛🏻💚

This was a lot of fun. Looking forward to growing more like this one. **Update** Total dry weight was 2.6 oz (74g). The buds were a little airier than the Tangie'Matic, not as tight/dense. Placed dried buds in mason jars with Boveda 62rh packs. Will be opening the jars daily for the next couple of weeks to cure. So far it tastes nice, I can taste some mint, but mostly just nice tasting overall. Will update the taste again after further curing.
