🌱 WEEK 14 FROM SEED — WEEK 11 FLOWER THE GRAND FINALE HARVEST REPORT — SUNDAY DRIVER (Zamnesia Seeds) A full-circle recap, a celebration of two phenotypes, and the sweetest ending imaginable. 🌸 A Quick Recap — From Seed to Here (For Anyone Just Joining Now) This run has been 14 weeks of joy, learning, surprises, heavy colas, and crazy beauty. Two phenotypes, two personalities, one shared soul. From day one, these girls impressed with: Fast germination Explosive early growth Huge stretch A super crop that healed perfectly Dense, deeply frosted flowers Towering structure A sweet, fruity, unmistakable terp profile This entire diary was a ride, and today: we close it properly. 🌿 The Final Weeks — Frost, Weight & Pure Beauty By the end of week 11 flower, both phenos were massive, fully packed, and dripping in trichomes. You could see: full resin heads thick frost rails on sugar leaves swollen calyxes and an aroma that filled the room before you even touched them These were big, heavy lifters. And we had to support branches constantly — if not, they’d bend or snap from the weight. Pheno #2 literally harvested herself from being too heavy. 🌙 The Harvest — One Gentle, One… Dramatic Pheno #2 snapped her main branches under the weight of her own colas. We walked into the tent and found her lying on the floor saying: “It’s time.” We listened. Pheno #3 remained strong, standing tall until the end of week 11 flower, finishing beautifully and perfectly ripe. Both were harvested with care, love, and laughter. Drying — The Classic 60/60 Two-Week Method We dried slow and steady: 60% humidity 60°F / 15–16°C ~14 days hanging upside down Why? Because this method preserves absolutely everything: flavor terpenes smoothness color burn quality potency No shortcuts. Just pure quality. ✂️ Trimming — All by Hand, As It Should Be After two weeks, the flowers were ready for trimming. We used: professional curved-point scissors gloves the Trim Bin gentle hands and a fully clean environment Why hand trim? Protects trichomes Respects the bud shape Avoids bruising Keeps the final product premium The trim was also collected — and it was beautiful, sticky, full of crystals. 🌈 Final Weights — Official Numbers Here are the correct finished, dried, trimmed, and cured weights: Pheno #2: 166 grams Pheno #3: 159 grams 🔥 Total: 325 grams of premium, candy-sweet Sunday Driver flowers This is an exceptional yield for two plants, especially with this type of dense, terp-loaded structure. 🍦 Aroma & Flavor Report — “True Sunday Driver” Aroma (Before Grind): Candy-sweet Tropical fruits Grapes Berries A hint of creamy vanilla Slight floral freshness The moment you open the jar, the room goes fruity instantly. Sticky, loud, full-body terp presence. Aroma (After Grind): Ice cream sweetness Citrus zest Sugary candy Notes of pastry cream A subtle earthy undertone that gives balance Flavor (On Inhale): Smooth fruit sorbet Creamy berry yogurt Sweet citrus glaze Candy-coated sweetness Flavor (On Exhale): Soft vanilla Sugary fruit leather Sweet grape peel Dessert-like finish Overall Impression: This is exactly why the strain is called Sunday Driver. It’s slow, sweet, comfortable, and perfect for an easy Sunday ride through your feelings. Every puff is a dessert — full, thick, smooth, and incredibly enjoyable. 💨 Effects — Balanced & Beautiful Sunday Driver delivers: calm relaxation a warm mental uplift stress relief peaceful creativity no anxiety no heaviness a comfortable floaty happiness Perfect for: • evenings • social fun • creative time • gaming • movies • relaxing with music A feel-good hybrid in every sense. Curing — Groove Bags & UV-Proof Jars We cured everything using: Groove Bags (technology that stabilizes humidity automatically) UV-proof jars (protects cannabinoids and terpenes from light damage) Why this method? No burping needed Long-term freshness Zero mold risk Terpenes remain sharp and bright Jars maintain perfect darkness, keeping potency intact The result? Two phenotypes that cured into identical-looking, identical-smelling, identical-quality medicine. 🌱 Reflecting Back — What This Grow Taught This run showed: Sunday Driver genetics are strong, resilient, and heavy hitters Super cropping works Supporting branches is not optional Aptus + Plagron = incredible synergy Good environment + good genetics = magic Slow dry + long cure = perfection These were some of the heaviest colas grown in this room so far. ❤️ Thank You — To Everyone A deep thank you to: The entire GrowDiaries community The new growers The OGs The silent readers The lovers The haters The curious ones The platform Our sponsors Zamnesia genetics GrowLED ThinkGrow LED TrolMaster Future of Grow Everyone who supported, commented, viewed, or followed This diary was written with love, passion, and honesty — and we share it with everyone. 📌 PS — Support Your Branches If your plants get heavy — support everything. Use yo-yos, bamboo, nets, anything. Heavy buds are a blessing, but without support, they will break Pheno #2 is proof — she took herself out by collapsing under her own beauty. 📌 PSPS — Don’t Be Afraid of Super Cropping If you ever hesitated about super cropping: don’t.

31.3 The plant has entered the flowering stage, with the first pistils starting to show. I think both plants are going to be the purple phenotype. You can already see the first hints of purple on the early-stage buds—or at least they seem to have a purple tint. We’ll know for sure in the coming days. 2.4 They’re definitely going to be fully purple. Even at this early stage, they’re already starting to show deep purple hues. I’m really excited to see how they develop.

I’ve kept almost all the fertilizer, light, and environmental parameters the same. I did a good defoliation to improve airflow, since I was having a bit of trouble lowering the humidity. This also helps the light penetrate better through the buds, allowing them to develop more fully.

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week. I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters. Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants. Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home. Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l. Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September. So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time. Exciting! I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit. I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement. 4 days to flower cycle! Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel. Check out the little video of the changes. Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants. Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l. Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night! Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle. Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night. End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

Started the week out with a mini flush and nutrient change. Plants are looking healthy and seem to be slowing down on the stretch and beginning to form some beautiful bud sights. I defoliated the main plants in the beginning of the week for the last time and will let them finish out their grow without anymore haircuts lol. The BW clones both have stretched pretty tall so far for being a clone going straight to 12/12. The CW clone is doing well and filling out already. So far so good on the grow.

This week in my perpetual auto garden all by Tastebudz. - Purple Punch is in the back left corner & - Mimosa is in the back right corner. - Vanilla Frosting is in the front left corner. I hope to harvest her this Tuesday. Flushing with 2 teaspoons per gallon of unsulfured blackstrap molasses 1 gallon total added to the reservoir. - Peanut Butter Cookies is in the front right corner I hope to harvest her in about 10 to 14 days. Flushing with 2 teaspoons per gallon of unsulfured blackstrap molasses 3 gallons total added to the reservoir. * FYI The Unicorn burst that I'm germinating is by Gas Reaper Genetics.*

Hallo zusammen 🤙 Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme
