Sunset Sherbet by One Love Genetics

My Second Grow has begun! Seeds are by One Love Genetics Lights - Viparspectra Par 1200 for Veg (2) HLG Rspec 260w QB for Flower 3 parts ProMix BX for medium 1 part Perlite I’ve started this grow by amending 4 tablespoons of Cyco Outback Vegetative Dry Amendments to the mix per gallon of medium. This will be my first organic grow. Wish me luck!

New week. Just watering every other day with mammoth p, Maxicrop, and a little molasses. Day 14 update Did an 18 hour tea today with compost, worm castings, Cyco 3-3-3, Flower Girl by Dr Earth, maxicrop, and Raw Cane Molasses. Total ppm was 400.

Starting week 3 in veg. Will be transplanting at the end of this week. She grew a whole inch after her tea on day 14. Got some light burn on the leaves from dripping nutrients on them on accident. Day 20 update Transplanted into a 3 gallon pot with 1/3 coco 1/3 peat 1/3 perlite. Added the following: Worm Castings Compost Nitro Bat Guano Alfalfa Bone Meal Langbeinite Azimite Seabird Guano

She’s been struggling for a little over a week now. Wasn’t certain what the issue was until the last few days. In the beginning I thought it was a ph issue but turns out my base nutrients just didn’t have enough calmag so I started supplementing calmag and it’s pretty much straightened out the issues.

Starting week 5. After struggling for a little over a week we’ve got her straightened out. She got her first top on day 29. I am brewing a tea for day 30. Day 32 update Did Green Cleaner foliar for preventive maintenance today. Will do again in 2-3 days. Day 35 update Topped again today. Wasn’t planning on it but they were just asking to be done.

Starting week 6. I will be moving her to my flower tent to get her first dose of CO2 supplementation and under my bright HLG’s. Will be flipping in around a week Or two once she gets to my first layer of trellis. I’ve decided on trying Nectar For the Gods for my flower nutrients. The dry amendments I put in during her transplant at day 21 should be starting to run out around when I switch to 12/12. Day 41 update Moved her into flower tent under my HLG’s. Looking to start flower in a week. Did some defoliation and going to start LST.

Entering week 7 of veg. Will start Nectar for the Gods on day 45. I’m happy with her growth so far. Doing a Bloom Chaos foliar every other night. Day 46 update Tonight we switch to 12/12 Yesterday we started Nectar for the Gods. Plants reacted very well to it. Very happy leafs. I’m expecting great results.

We’ve been in flower for 3 days now. Great progress in stretching. I’m doing the feed feed tea mix with no flush planned for now until the last week of flower. This is a 9 week strain. Tea wise I’m leaning on microbial more then nutrients. I’m feeding with no runoff but will runoff with every other tea. Wish me luck.

We’ve made it to week 2 in flower. The Sunset Sherbet plants are the ones that are far more dense. I have 4 OGKZ in the back that are doing ok but aren’t nearly as dense as the SS. I am very happy with Nectar for the Gods. The plants seem to love it. I’ll do a heavy defoliation on the 17th day of flower. I’m also doing a daily foliar with Bloom Chaos. Day 59 update I’ve got some OGKZ running behind my Sunset Sherbet and the leafs on a couple were getting lime green. I checked the ph and they were pretty close to 6.0. The Sunset Sherbet was around 6.6-6.7. I decided to feed at 6.5 with Bloom Chaos. The ph currently is at 6.4 in those and I’m hoping this wraps it up. I’ll do a soil slurry tomorrow at around the half way point in moisture to see what soil ppm’s are and to verify my ph meter. Day 62 update Started the day off with 600ml of feed for each plant. Will be doing daily feeds or teas ect for now on. Decided to schwazz them today since I have a busy week planned to do it in a few days when they would have been done stretching.

We’ve made it to week 3 of flower. It’s been a couple of days since we “schwazzed” them recovered very quickly. This has been a fun grow and I cannot praise NftG enough.

So far only a few minor issues. I’ve been fighting a slightly acidic soil for a few days but it’s under control for the most part. The medium is determined to stay in the 6.8. I gave her a couple of days of just Herculean Harvest at around 6.0 ph. She’s been non compliant in reducing PH so I’ll continue to feed at 6.0 until she settles at 6.5sh. Plants are doing great right now but I do expect to see a few micro deficiencies in the coming days. I’ve begun feeding approximately every 36 hours or so since that seems to be what they want. I envision daily feedings again in a week or two. Thank you for keeping up with this diary.

We have entered week 5 of flower. A little over half the plants have begun showing brown pistils. These are projected to be 9 week strains but it appears half will be 8 week or so strains. We’ll feed them like 8 week strains which means we start flushing in a week or so. Bud development is very solid and I’m expecting a great yield.

We’ll do the last feed on day 86 then we’ll do her final tea then it’s 2 weeks of flushing. Day 86 update Today was the last feed. Probably a few days too late for a few and a few days to early for a few. Will do a tea in a couple of days then nothing but herc and aphrodites extraction thereafter.

With 10-12 days to go we are starting to show our fall colors. Buds are definitely starting to ripen up and fill in very well. I did a full defoliation on this strain and I feel it’s held it back a little. In the end I still expect 1g per w but I feel it would have done a little better had I done a half defoliation or had I veg’d a little longer. The buds are very very floral smelling. I’m expecting some pretty wild terpenes.

We’ve made it to the last week of this grow. Outside of a few issues in the beginning we’ve gotten some great plants to produce a good amount of flower. I’m looking forward to smoking a little of this.
