orange sherbert

the most uneventful part of growing,the seedling stage. highly impressive

week 2. i did not have any issues , both plants are basically identical in growth and are doing well. i did notice a tiny bit of brown on my roots,this seems to happen every time,if i leave it it usually fixes itself. think the roots are very susceptible to root problems in the beginning,but as it grows it usually fixes itself,i dont know the science behind it. i added some other plants to keep the dopes company for now.

week 3 and still no major issues the roots have got whiter and fuller annd the plants look pretty good, i topped both about 3 days back and they responded well. as for my trial plants. they are doing good enough. cucumbers will be sad tell i can get them outside,pepper is happy and the strawberries already coming in.

week 4 went alright, although the plants don't seem to need food. ppms only at like 400 and never fed it once this week,yet still very dark green leaves. dope 1 has root rott, checked and quite a bit of brown shit on the roots, surprisingly it hasn't affected the plants growth at all,and the leaves aren't discolored or drooping so im leaving it be,since i don't have the resources to fix it anyways. the places where i topped the plants have grown out enough now that i can start some lst, will probably train them for 1 week then flip to flower,dont want a crowded tent this time. the fruits and veggies will be going outside now, a shame my dope cant go with them, got some sketchy neighbors.

final week of veg is over,and i probably waited too long as it is,cause don't like a crowded tent. this week i lst both plants, managed to even out the canopy, im ready to put a scrog net up,but probably wait tell after 1 week of flower.

this week i did quite a bit of defoliation,lolipopped it, and have got the scrog ready. i probably overdid it on the lollipop,removed quite a few branches but i hate a crowded grow tent so ill take less yield. i will start feeding some branches through the scrog today,lower it a bit. upped the ppm's but not enough ,i been lazy this cycle. saw first pistils on both plants yesterday 😶

not a whole lot to see this week. did a major defoliation,seeing as i poorly timed my harvest for the middle of july, hottest part of the year and got no air conditioner,doubt itll turn out. tried to scrog,failed, think i waited too long or maybe its the strain but the branches are way too stiff for that. oh well,well see what happens.

the stretch is finally over,and thankfully this time i left lamp room so dont burn tops of my plants. i defoliated a bit more but im done now,unless i see something in the way or too crowded. ppms alright but need to be higher this week, at the end of the week i will probably flush for a day just to clean out the system then go even higher, humidity is too high,but i cant run a dehumidifier right now its too hot as it is,justt gnna ignore it telll around week 5.

nothing happened this week. brought ppm up to where it needs to be, smells not to bad still,just waiting for them buds to fill in

5 weeks in and the heat is still too hot for me to use a dehumidifier, and cant use an air conditioner don't have the money or the window for it. hope to god it will cool down for these last 3-4 weeks or im pretty screwed in terms of potential bud rot. left plant is already pretty orangey considering, usually i dont see that much orange tell 7 weeks. the right plant seems to be the better phenotype.still all white pistils. a lot larger pistils than the left one and a lot closer bud spacing i have upped my ppm to 1100-1300 , might even go higher for this week and a half and after that long flush. cause i want colors this time.

week 6 of flower and we have 2 very different plants but the same strain. the left plant is almost done flowering already and were only 6 weeks in, it has fruity looking tropical chunky buds that i can't wait to smoke,along with shit loads of trichomes. the right plant is completely different with super tight bud indica spacing and thick pistils cover it,with less trichomes. its about a week and a half behind the lefty. i have already stopped nutrients,might cost me a bit of bud but i have a lot of green to get rid of and i want super smooth buds. the smell is kinda of like shitty from a far and good up close lol. thanks for checking out my grow.

week 7 and its the final few days for the left plant. seems early but pistils are all curling in and orange ,and trichomes starting to amber. the right plant is behind and can use another week or two. both plants look very different but the left one is my favorite and i cant wait for the harvest. the smell is starting to get strong ,as im walking towards the room i smell skunk. i have been battling very high heat ,most days are 32-40 degrees ,and very high humidity ,which is hard to combat with a dehumidifier,but i think its all going to work out 😏 harvest pics next week

8 weeks 5 days in i chopped the plants down, id put this under harvest but im saving that for the dried buds. these plants were very different,both orange sherbert. plant 1 was small tight buds caked in thc,with moderate pistils and few leaves with a citrus smell. plant 2 has barely any trichomes on the leaves, crazy pistils, way more leaves and a very skunky smell. harvest went well with no bud rot other issues, and im quite happy to be done grow number 5 in my book 😃 i have learned a lot and plenty more to learn,and i got more weed than i can smoke for a long while happy growing. ✊

first off check last week if you want harvest photos,didnt wana jam em all on one page. i think 5th grow now went well,not a single issue other than heat and humidity,which made me veg less long because i didnt want crowding. this resulted in less of a yield than usual but im fine with that i got plenty from my last grows,and i was aiming for quality this time. both plants grew fast enough, very disease and mold resistant, and ended up overall pretty nice. i give this strain an 8.5,just because both plants were so different,so on a bigger scale it might be unpredictable what you will get. overall im happy,and i think my next move is a better light and perhaps i will start trying to breed although it looks tricky.
