Day 66 : Her buds are full of crystals and are so dense. The smell is really strong stinky skunk like GZ , but GZ smell is more acidic. Her crystals are milky and soon will start to amber. Breeder refers that will be pretty mature in 70 days. Not in my case :D we will see in 4 days, in next watering. For now no ambers. I prefer to cut when we have 15%-20% amber and 80%-85% milky, because after the smoke is very heavy for my taste. Edit Day 70 : She watered with juices and i continue until i see first signs of amber trichomes. Still no ambers. She has gained so much weight , side branches cant lift their self. I think she will be the heavier. You can understand her weight if u lift it.

Day 8 08/07/24 Monday Light water with De-chlorinated tap pH 6.2 with half t spoon of DyNoMyCo. They seem to be loving it!! Germination week complete, Let's start the VEG 🤩 Updated short videos of strains ,✌️💚

I added a few bamboo stakes in each pot and wrapped some garden wire around them to support the branches. The flowers are starting to get a little heavier now and some of the branches will need some support. Everything got a good feeding a couple days ago and have responded well. One of the plants got burnt by the light for a couple of days, killing a few of the top fan leaves. The top flowers on that plant are a little more fluffy than the other plants, but it has been moved to a cooler spot in the tent now.

Arranca la segunda semana de 12/12 aún no hay signos de sexo, sigo dándole nitrógeno fuerte, cambiandole la solución 1 vez a la semana El 15 de febrero será un mes desde la germinación

Everything is growing well and smelling amazing. More and more citrus everyday. Enjoy the video

Summing up, I can say that sativa is really not mine.The next diary will be related to breeding, I will test and gain experience in this matter.Further more, success is inevitable.

Last day of veg ( 18/11 ) all plants had a few leaves snipped here and there, plants looking the healthiest I’ve ever seen them, responding very well to the HST given throughout the week, all ready to switch 12/12 tomorrow morning!

Sherbet Queen Auto deserves only praise. I really haven’t had any problems during these little over ten weeks. And in the end I got above average yield. I wrote earlier but I will repeat the basic information: 81 days from when it sprouted until it was harvested. 3 weeks of vegetation. 7 weeks of flowering. 14 days drying 70 g total yield. 1 Sherbet Queen plant. In the end it grew almost 90 cm which is almost ideal for the height of my grow box which is a total of 180 cm high. All ten or so weeks passed without any problems, and in the end it produced large hard flowers with a sweet scent. After 14 days of drying in a grow box in the dark, I did the final trimming after the check I weighed the dried flowers and put them back in the jars. I also added moisture fighters to the jars that will regulate the moisture during final curing in the jars. And here we are at the end, Sherbet Queen is definitely a recommendation to everyone, I have no doubt you will enjoy the sweet smokes if you opt for this strain. I made an effort to write as much information as possible to help future growers on their journey. Thank you all for the comments and a big thank you to James from RQS for the great support. See you soon.

6/1 day 10. Shes looking good and super healthy so far 6/2 growing fast. Onto 3rd/4th node

As you can see she in now in full flower. She is already starting to frost up a little. I really hope she stretches soon. I expect either this week or next. Day 38 - She didn't even stutter after her major defoliation. I also adjusted some of the lst to open it a bit more. I'm really hoping for a stretch real soon.

Hello Growers & Tokers! Rooooots. Don't forget about them! At the beginning of the week they all got transplanted into their final pots, 11L fabric pots. Medium is Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. Let hat mycorrhizae do it's thing. I'll let them settle in their new home then I'll be topping them to widen that canopy out. Take care out there and happy growing!

Week 11! Day 77. Gotta be nearing the final lap now. Old fan leaves are turning yellow & pistils are turning brown. I did a few trial runs of "ice flushing" but with just one ice cube at a time last week lol. Maybe 2-3 cubes per day. Figured it'd help imitate colder conditions outdoors if nothing else. Still doing the slow, small waterings as she definitely prefers them to dumping a whole bottle-and-a-half in there at once. The smell is more noticeable than before, but still not where you'd expect for the size & maturity. My smaller plants both smelled stronger, and MUCH earlier. One of them was a Solo cup grow all the way to the end & neither exceeded a paltry 4.3 grams dry. (Maybe I've just had COVID one too many times since then but this plant is as odor-free as can be). Frost level is moderate compared to popular strains & bud sites are abundant which is my main concern. I don't smoke weed for the taste or smell, though I know terps play a role in the final effects. This girl couldn't smell any LESS like Skittles, berries or chocolate if it tried, leaning much farther in the skunky/pungent direction. Planning to do a wet trim & staggered harvest, cutting the top into 3 sections 24 hours apart to hopefully avoid/reduce stress. Then I'll leave the bottom part to grow another week or so. With a plant this tall and lanky, there is a real difference in maturity of buds. Plus my lights are weak af. Not sure how I'll get the temps down in the 60-70 degree range for for TWO separate drying periods, but we'll try. (I'm cold-natured & would have to run the AC 24/7 since it's still warm & muggy here, and that gets expensive. But I'll also have my ceiling & oscillating fans, some baking soda to absorb moisture & windows to open on cool nights. Gotta keep the temp AND humidity in the right range! I looked at her the morning after applying a small amount of potassium humates & noticed a bunch of brown rusty spots on the upper sugar leaves. So I cut them off. Would be curious to know what it most likely is though. Also found a dead bug on her. Little black thing with wings... looks like he died happy lol. 10/29/25: Ice flush + stem-splitting initiated. Next is 24 hours of light before adding more ice (half as much, if that) plus 36 hours in the dark before (partial) harvest. Landlord scare this morning had me scrambling to hide everything! Hence the bent cola on top--she wore the black garbage bag "hat" again lol. No bottle/chemical nutes so this isn't technically a "flush" in every sense... more of an end-of-life stressor/imitation of outdoor conditions (if we weren't frying due to climate change, heh). Hoping this staggered harvest thing works out. I wouldn't likely be doing it if not for the time crunch & fact that I need to whittle this plant down to a more manageable size. Next few days should be eventful, check back. 😉

The germination i forgot to take pictures so i just have a video of the first 3 strains i started before the other seeds arrived. I used the same metod for all of them 24h in the glass of water after that 48h in the cotton pads in the zip lock bag with 3 sprays of water on the cotton pads and 1 spray when inside the zip lock bag is closed untill 80% leaving a small gap for them to breath. I decided to plant them after that in the final resting pot for this strain in a 5 gallon fabric pot. I used the following media on the bottom of the fabric pot i used 10% of Goldlabel HydroCorn after filled up with Advanced Nutrients coco cultivator (50% coco 30% perelite 20% pebbles) and i mixed on the media some Azos , Mykos and Great White. The light schedule for the first 5 days was 24/0 and after that i change for 18/06 schedule. Just water the plants on the 15/06 i think all my seedlings are stuned because my light is too strong for them and the light is dimed to 25% waiting on my new seedling light the Spider Farmer SF1000EVO LED should arrive just on wednesday. And my light meter for lux is saying i have 8600Lux converted is 148 and my dli on meter from the phone is saying 150 so its 3x times more the recomended i just dont understand if this phone app is working correctly. Update on the order from spider farmer from Ebay (Order the item on a thursday and the order was not updated on ebay on the following Monday so decided to contact them to understand when i am gonna receive my order i was told true ebay that my item as been shipped and i will receive an update within 1 hour to tell what time the item will be delivered. So never received any message giving my time slot delivery. Never received the item and at 21pm the tracking updeted on Ebay saying delivered so i contected them next day to be told that the courrier actually lost my order and that they will reshippe the order again but was told i need to wait 2 buiness days for the warehouse to processe my order beacuse they are busy what i replied that why should be me the costumer that needs to wait 5 or 6 more days for the order to arrive to me that they should send me the item on the same day and send me with one day delivery. The ansewer was they could not do it so i cancell the order asked for a refund and never more use their products appailing costumer service)

Beide Pflanzen (24K Gold & Gelato 33) entwickeln sich hervorragend und haben in dieser Woche deutlich an Dichte und Struktur gewonnen. Das Training zeigt klaren Erfolg – der Wuchs ist flach, gleichmäßig und perfekt für die kommende ScroG-Phase vorbereitet. 24K Gold reagiert sehr dynamisch auf das Low-Stress-Training. Sie treibt stark aus allen Achsen, und die Seitentriebe haben beinahe dieselbe Höhe wie der Haupttrieb. Ihr Wuchs ist energiegeladen, sativalastig und offen, was für optimale Lichtverteilung sorgt. Gelato 33 bleibt weiterhin kompakter, jedoch extrem buschig. Ihre internodalen Abstände sind kurz, die Blätter breit und sattgrün. Durch das wiederholte Binden und Umlenken wächst sie symmetrisch und kräftig nach – ein ideales Fundament für hohe Ertragsdichte. Das Bewässerungssystem läuft stabil: Tropfbewässerung mehrmals täglich in kurzen Intervallen. Düngung aktuell bei Canna Coco A + B → 4 ml/l, pH ≈ 5.8, EC ≈ 1.3. Die Pflanzen reagieren perfekt – keinerlei Mangel oder Überdüngung. Klimawerte: 🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 60 % 💨 Stabile Luftzirkulation für kräftige Stämme Beide Strains zeigen vitales, gesundes Wachstum – Gelato 33 mit dichten, kräftigen Blättern; 24K Gold mit offenem, explosivem Wuchs. Das Training verläuft planmäßig, die Basis für gleichmäßige Blüteentwicklung ist gelegt.

I keep increasing the light and she seems to enjoy it, growing new bud sides and leaves everyday. Defoliation continues. I can’t go below 25-26 Celcius due to increased light though. She has also been moved to back middle.

In der fünften Blütewoche zeigt sich der Erfolg des Scroggens deutlich. Die Pflanze hat das Netz vollständig durchwachsen, und die Blüten verteilen sich gleichmäßig über die gesamte Fläche. Um die Stabilität der immer schwerer werdenden Blüten sicherzustellen, habe ich zusätzliche Netze aufgehängt. Außerdem habe ich die Beleuchtung von 400 Watt auf 720 Watt erhöht, um den Blüten noch mehr Energie zuzuführen und das Wachstum weiter zu fördern. Die Ergebnisse sind bereits sichtbar, mit dichten und kraftvollen Blütenständen, die sich vielversprechend entwickeln.

Week 8 of flower and ladies are really becoming more dense and frosting all little more. Thanks to the growmies and the experienced gardeners here I’ve decided to patiently wait to harvest until at least 65 days of flower to get the maximum potential from theses two strains. Much love and appreciation to this helpful growing community and look forward finishing up this run Day 57- final week until harvest letting pots dry out and waiting for those beautiful fall color. Day 60- pots drying quick, max of 5 days left until harvest trichomes increasing as the day go on So far this run has been pretty easy I can say I’ve learned so much and gained a lot of experience. My biggest take away would be examine and care for plant each and every day if possible things can change daily and to insure health you have to give them all the attention they need.
