Strain
And so we come to my summary. As an absolute beginner, I embarked on this adventure, which was a complete success.
The GG4 Sherbet FF was a loyal friend to me for 159 days. Of these days, it was in the vegetative phase for 83 days and in the flowering phase for 76 days. According to FastBuds, she should be ready for harvest after 7 weeks. For me it was 11 weeks. If I hadn't had a problem with mould, she could have stayed a little longer, as not all the hairs had turned brown yet. During this time I was able to learn a lot of things that will certainly help me in future grows. She forgave me for topping, mainling and LST and in the end rewarded me well for the care. I could certainly have got more out of her, as I didn't use any fertiliser apart from the nettle slurry I mixed myself.
Would I grow the GG4 Sherbet FF again? Definitely yes. Would I grow it outdoors again? Probably not, as the weather and temperatures are far too changeable at the end of the year. If then only in a greenhouse or directly indoors in a tent. Would I plant the plant again in a 55 litre pot? Yes, even though moving her was super tricky. If I hadn't had a rolling board underneath I would never have been able to move her. What would I do differently if I could turn back time? As I just mentioned, I didn't use any fertiliser and would try fertiliser next time. I would also organise the mainlining a little differently. I wouldn't leave so many shoots during the vegetative phase. As a beginner, I simply couldn't judge how the plant would change over time.
In conclusion, I can only say that it was a great plant that I can recommend to everyone. Growing such a big beast as a beginner made me a little proud.
