Someone help me with how to make my top colas bigger!?!? Not enough phosphorus? Too close to the led lights? My ph is good and plant is healthy just can’t seem to get big colas and I don’t know why or if it’s too late since I’m 4-5 weeks into flowering. Help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks 🙏🏻

It's been a busy week. The Red Dragon is growing really well, and they seem to be shooting up really quick. There's no stretch on them so I know they're getting enough light. So far the Red Dragon is definitely one of my favorite strains but I've got a lot more to get through yet lol. I have got some acoustic ducting. WARNING... Acoustic ducting has Fibre glass in it and is a MAJOR IRRITATENT to both skin and eyes and should be done in a well ventilated area with suitable protection. So, I have also switched from pure batmix to a 50/50 split with a good compost. I have done this as I'm not 100% happy with the level of water retention in the batmix, I'm finding it to be too much and I do not want to run into any issues. I would rather the soil drys out then I know exactly when to water. I have also increased the HPS to 400w (from 250w) it is very difficult to give plants too much light. I am spraying the tent whenever I can, with warm(ish) water to increase the humidity for a short while. I will be looking into fiming and LST probably next week to make sure they have a good base. I have also had to transplant the plants into another pot as the roots are growing like crazy at the moment. I also purchased a dimmer plug for the fan, as I don't need it to be on full all the time (it's a 6 inch fan with duel speed but thats far too much for what is needed now. Other than that all is good

New week. 55-65 DLi. The dodecahedron is the only Platonic solid that has infinite numerical pathways. Might mean nothing to you yet, but its means infinity to me.

The plants are in the 2nd week of flower and the pistols are staring to show it. That confirms that all of the plants are female.

for the 2nd week of the euphoria I gave her 2 ml of trimix, which contain mycorrhizae, trichoderma, amino acids and microelements, all organic (is what the brand says)

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Great second week of flower. She’s getting a nice flower stretch. Info and photos were taken 12 days into flower. Beginning of the week was 50cm and is now at 62cm tall. That's 12cm in one week!! 👏👏👏 Feeding 1,5L each, every other day. Will be increasing as they ask for more. How do they ask for more? When feeding if the soil is drier than normal I give a 150-200ml increment of water. I do that until they stop feeding so much then i just maintain that amount. I start reducing if it takes longer to dry. That works good for me. The old finger in the dirt trick. 👍 Nothing like knowing exactly what your ladies need first hand. She’s looking good and healthy. Nice lime green color going.. Plenty of new growth every where. Smell is starting to be a little noticeable but nothing stinky yet. There’s a few main colas that are standing out and stacking nicely. Haven’t done any work on her since the 12/12 defoliation. When 21 days passes I’ll give her a nice defoliation and taking away unwanted under growth. Very happy with how she turned out. She struggled at first but now she’s looking gorgeous. 😍😍 Stay tuned to see her progress. If you like what you see, check out the other strains in the tent. Take care and stay safe! 😃

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.

420Fastbuds-FBA2507 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Hi everyone 🤗. Everything is going great 👍. There are no defects or anything unusual :-). Today the Blue Cheese Pheno 1 became the first time rinsed, and now only gets 0.4 Ec water for the next 10 days ca :-). Everyone else needs a while. otherwise there is not much to report this week. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

Our Rainbow Sherbet has started to flower, the main lining here worked really well. Unlike the other plants I cut at the second internode to create the mainfold. This is a smart choice because autoflowering plants flower more or less at the 5th / 6th internode, if you have to do topping it is better to start as soon as possible to delay flowering as much as possible. Another reason for topping / mainfold at the second internode is that the plant is lower and you can work the mini brunches much better. In fact here we managed to create a T-minlining. In the sense that the mini brunches form a perfect 90 degree T with the main stem which is not easy at all. To do this you have to use the arches with the wire it is much more complicated and the cut at the second internode helps a lot. So topping at the second internode, mainfold and then continue for another three internodes and topping again. You can decide to cut something along the way I left perhaps too much stuff here. However, for better or worse, everything that can see a fair amount of light enough to flower well is left. The plant is a specimen with a medium internodal distance and I managed to work it reasonably well. We are still using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100% organic. We have moved on to the flowering start card that maintains the same Power Roots additives - Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant dear in my house for obvious reasons of Biscotti. Of course the basic fertilizer now is Alga Bloom. The Green Sensation when the flowers are already a little swollen, do not start immediately. The Power Buds must immediately stimulate the initiation and development of the buds. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer schedule based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this variety that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11230-zamnesia-seeds-rainbow-sherbet-automatic.html Zamnesia Description //A cross between Pink Guava, Sunset Sherbet and a hint of ruderalis, Rainbow Sherbet Auto offers a wide range of flavors, effects and more.
