2/6:
I planted a pair of each strain on the 6th, and all but one each of the GG4 Sherbet and Orange Sherbet beans emerged on or about the 9th.
I waited a few days but ended up planting replacements for them and they emerged on the 13th and 14th.
2/16:
Fed them a touch of nutrients along with some Superthrive today.
2/17:
I finally potted them up today and moved them into the closet. Some signs of deficiencies, but I think it's because their roots were wet for too long.
2/18:
Damnit..I had the lights at about 24", as per usual, and went to work for the day. Ended up working overtime and by the time I got home they were drooping badly and showing signs of an overdose of light....oops...
Raised lights 6" and fed them a full dose of nutes and some extra CaMg and Silica.
2/19:
Yup...definitely burnt them up a little bit, but I cranked up the humidifier, and misted them with a weak fulvic acid and kelp spray several times throughout the day and think I managed to save them.
2/21:
Fed and sprayed them a few times today...they've definitely turned the corner and forgiven me for my failures.
2/22:
Much better week than last...
The younger GG4Sherb has caught up with the older one...the older one has a thickass trunk, but not much growth otherwise.
The young Orange Sherbet has just caught hold and starting to grow well.
2/28:
I guess I've been chronically underwatering them...seeing weird issues here and there.
I'll douche them well tomorrow.
3/1:
I gave them their very first 4-hour nap this morning and today was their first real saturation day. They got a little over 1/2 gallon each, and I added some boomerang to the water.
3/4:
Fed today.
3/7:
Fed today after topdressing all the pots with happy frog cavern culture, and also sprayed them with BoomBoom spray at "dawn."
3/8:
The GG4 Sherbets are some squatty fuckers, but maybe they'll stretch well after I flip to flower.
The Gorilla Cookies are sprawling out and taking a lot of space.
The Tropicana Cookies still have foliage that canoe's/taco's for no apparent reason.
The Wedding Cheesecakes still act like I'm giving them the worst nutrients possible...and very little of them.
The the older Orange Sherbet is finally starting to show a little vigor...the little one is still too small to flower...holding up the show...
3/10:
Fed today
3/11:
Flipping lights to 12/12 tonight.
3/12:
They all responded to the photoperiod change with lush new growth.👍
Kicked on the supplemental reds, as well as the FlowerPower UV for a couple hours a day...an hour in morning and evening.
Enough of the plants are such total 'hydras' that I'll be too limited with space to do any LST on the others. Two of the wedding cheesecakes are real sprawlers, and one of the gorilla cookies has the potential to be monstrous.💪
3/14:
Fed today. Decent stretch so far.
3/23:
Supercropped the two biggest GC's and the big WC, raised lights, removed some platforms, and fed today.
3/27:
Fed today
3/29:
Stretching is finally slowing a bit...good thing, I'm out of ceiling space...
3/31:
Fed today
Looks like I'll have at least 8 colas that exceed 12" in length this run ..maybe more...👍
4/3:
Fed today...switched to Beastie Bloomz and increased Signal.
4/5:
Made adjustments to the lights to allow me to raise them another few inches. That's all folks...
Increased UVB exposure another 30 minutes a day.😎
4/6:
Fed today.
4/18:
Fed today and increased UVB exposure another 15 minutes, mornings and evenings.
4/23:
Fed today...a day late...they were very thirsty..
Added humic acid to their feedwater. I'll switch from Beastie Bloomz to Cha Ching, reduce the TPS One, cut the silica, and start adding Liquidsoil with their next feeding.
4/24:
The combination of aromas coming out of my closet is sickeningly funky....truly rancid!👍
Turned on the dehumidifier and added some fresh carbon filters to it and the backs of my circulator fans.
5/2:
Fed today..probably their last full strength dose of nutes. Starting to see some senescence on a few plants, and the frost is thickening.
5/7:
Fed today...a day late.
Both Gorilla Sherbets and two Gorilla Cookies only got sweet & sticky plus Liquidsoil, everybody else got a stand-alone dose of Cha Ching, plus sweet & sticky and signal, but no One.
5/11:
Only fed the bigass WC..gave her cha ching, signal, sweet & sticky, humic acid and liquidsoil, flushed everybody else with warm water, humic acid and liquidsoil.
5/13:
Live-trimmed 4 plants tonight.
5/14:
Live-trimmed another 4 plants tonight.
5/15:
The big WC got flushed with liquidsoil and warm water.
I'll harvest and wash those 8 plants later tonight when I have some time.
One plant got a full month of vegging before I flipped to 12/12, and one only got 3 weeks. The younger/smaller one was a specimen plant. She had great structure, powerful terps and flaves, and had the very tightest/most dense flowers in the crop. It was also a much less leafy phenotype than the bigger plant. Very photogenic.😍
The frost was substantial throughout both plants and the colorations were more apparent on the lower parts of the bigger plant...subtle pink hues.
Good weed.

Nice producer! All three plants were very similar in stature, structure, and other relevant statistical data. Very stable, and very whoopass. Foliage on two of the plants senesced to deep purples and maroons, and the third plant(#2) mainly faded to yellows...it was also a more Sativa pheno.

I recently grew Ethos' Mandarin Sunset and this strain maybe wasn't quite as potent, but it was every bit as stanky dank and tasty. Both plants were very similar to one another and gave me no trouble at all.

The #2 and #3 plants were very diesel scented initially, but that mellowed quite a bit. that aroma ended up being very earthy, with hints of diesel. The #1 plant was a different pheno...more desirable in my opinion. Very dense/rock hard and chunky buds....sweeter smelling and tasting, and absolutely covered in trichomes. Its colas didn't get as fat as the other two, but they weighed just as much when dried.💪
The #2 plant developed a couple of male flowers in its last week.
The quality of this strain is pretty great. Both phenotypes smell great, are stickyicky and stanky and weighed heavy. This strain was, by far, the best producing of the crop.
The fatter cola'd more diesely pheno takes a little longer to finish, has weaker branches and is harder to manage, and doesn't frost over quite as well as the sweeter #1 plant phenotype....but it still kicks ass and makes great rosin.

Overall, I guess this was my favorite strain of this crop. Best flavors, heavy, and potent.
Both plants were very similar in every characteristic.👍

Hello master , very nice grow and happy 420 day. I was thinking to order some fastbuds photoperiod for my next grow it will be something bigger than before ,do you think its worth these photoperiods ?do you think they will finish as they say in description 6-7 weeks tropicanna for example? What you suggest me for fastest and biggest yield possible photoperiodic strains even from other seedbanks.
@Theia, Ya, it's partially because I've been underwatering and partially because I've had the lights set so high to accommodate a couple of them that were sensitive..but really, they're just now entering their 3rd week of growth,.,and for a couple of them it's just their second week.
I germed on the 6th of Feb and intend to at least wait to flip til about the 10th of March, so they have a little time to develop some more.
