~ FastBuds PAPAYA SHERBET Photoperiod~ Well here we go on another journey together through 'Canna-land' and this one's kinda special... forget that, it's VERY special because this is FastBuds newest surprise for the community, a FEMINIZED PHOTOPERIOD STRAIN!🤯 I was fortunate enough to score these seeds, of which only 1000 were available and can't wait to see what this strain can do! This Papaya Sherbet, according to FastBuds, is a hybrid with a 9-10 weeks flowering period. For a more detailed and accurate description of this strain the following from FastBuds says it best: "Combining the massive stature of Papaya (Oni Selection) with the strength and resilience of one of our best keeper cuts (Sunset Sherbet), this strain develops into a big, expansive bush adorned with numerous bud sites that later transform into a generous harvest of medium-sized buds. Papaya Sherbet flowers deliver a signature flavor of premium cannabis with subtle citrus undertones that emerge upon inhaling. During growth, her aroma makes for a sweet yet pleasantly bitter fragrance, giving you an idea of what the smoke will taste like. Notably stress-resistant, Papaya Sherbet is a great choice for growers working in challenging environments. She is very forgiving and rebounds quickly from any adversity, allowing growers the freedom to experiment with confidence that she will take everything like a champion she is. This strain embodies resilience, flavor, and abundant yields in every grow cycle." Sounds like an epic strain and I personally cannot wait for this lady to strut her stuff!😍 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod indoors as our weather is still a bit too chilly to put a newly sprouted seedling outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 40's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures are in the mid 50's℉, which shouldn't be long. After which, she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes from BioTabs and slow release dry amendments from Gaia Green. Once she's established herself outside she'll be given periodic top dressings of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with worm castings and Compost Tea's. Her grow area is approx. 5'x5' and I have posts and a trellis net set up already for when she gets bigger to aid in training her. Let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/11- Here we go into the FIRST WEEK of flower for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod! She finally finished her preflower stretch, ending up at a nosebleed height of 90" tall! It was such a great sight to look at her yesterday and see little flowers beginning to form. She's going to be a beautiful plant! 8/13- Our weather has cooled off after last weeks tropical system passed and it's nice to have a much needed break from the heat and humidity! I am continuing to water daily with 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. I also went ahead and removed two small branches that were at the very bottom of the Papaya Sherbet that would only take away nutrients from more beneficial areas of the plant. 8/15- Today, I top dressed the Papaya Sherbet with 3 cups of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom which I watered in with well water from the hose. I then applied 1/2 gallon of a nutrient mix I made up in 2 1/2g of well water consisting of: 1/4 cup Neptune's Harvest Seaweed(kelp) plant food and 2 1/2 tsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss. 8/17- There goes the first full week of flower for this incredibly stunning Papaya Sherbet photoperiod from FastBuds and I can not wait to see her transformation as this lady progresses through flowering! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

👸🎂 Queen lizzies cake staying short like a bonzai lol, fattening up on the 4 main colas on 1 , I did some lst to keep apart the stems and defoilated the middle again as it was clogged up. Ended up snapping them abit but they took it like a boss! 😎

😎Shalom brothers! Another week has passed and I am glad to share the results with you again. This week I continued to do all sorts of experiments testing my girl for strength. We survived lst, defoliation and cloning. And I also added 30 watts of red light with a wavelength of 630nm, using Samsung 351LH diodes.This spectrum enhances flowering, and helps the plant to form internodes with shorter distances, which will give more growth points for future buds. 👌Let's start with nutrition. I changed the frequency of watering, now my plant is watered 6 times for 20 minutes during daylight hours, every 3 hours. This week I made a nutrient solution with the following recipe: Water 183 ppm, 8l Silicon 4ml Сalmag 1.5ml GHE Flora: Gro 7.5 Micro 5 Bloom 2.5 pH down 5.5 ml Total 669 ppm, 5.6 pH 💪About training. Let's start with LST: Low stress training, abbreviated as LST (LowStressTrainig), is similar to the art of bonsai except for cannabis plants. This is a special technique of bending and tying plants to give them the desired shape. LST will also help you get a lot of massive buds by leveling the crown of your plant so that the lighting is more effective on it. Using LST will help you increase your yield and is surprisingly fun. 😈The following I did defoliation: Pruning leaves or defoliation is an old Japanese technique that has been kept secret for a long time. The main goal is the intensive development of the tree, that is, in one year the tree goes through a two-year growth cycle. This method consists in partial removal of leaves. Classically, only deciduous trees are subjected to such an operation. But, it is quite possible to do this with some tropical plants and not only, in order to bring them out of a prolonged period of dormancy. Defoliation leads to a decrease in the size of leaves and an increase in their number. As a side or positive effect, the rejuvenation of the crown can be considered, that is, new and fresh foliage appears, which will be better preserved and will have a more attractive appearance and bright color. 👊And as promised, I'll tell you about stimulants: GHE Root Booster - a natural supplement for the growth of the root system; promotes the growth and development of a rich, healthy root system. The preparation contains vitamins, enzymes, organic and humic acids that stimulate root growth without synthetic additives. GHE Fulvic - Soluble humates (humic and fulvic acids) contain a huge amount of natural components that stimulate plant growth, as well as enhance nutritional ingredients. Fulvic acid is the substance that does all the hard work: converting nutrients into a form readily available to plants, which increases the efficiency of the nutrients. RasTea Bio-Energy SPELL is a universal 100% organic stimulant for improving metabolism based on highly concentrated and highly purified humic and fulvic acids in combination with vitamins, amino acids, polysaccharides, extracts and extracts from plants, ensures better absorption of nutrients by plants. The unique formula activates the natural potential of plants, which has a beneficial effect on all stages of development, increasing stress resistance, growth intensity and yield. I give all three stimulants one sheet at a time, and since they are somewhat similar, I give them in turn. 👽Well, see you next week. This will be the last week of the growing season, we will go through another workout, take a break from stress and go to the bloom.

It’s now time to start flower. They are looking amazing and I’m going to go ahead and throw his crocs in there. I have one tent that I have not put in flower yet just for the main fact that one of my seats became a auto flower so I’m letting them run more time to let that auto flower finish and see what that becomes

Easy to grow , no real problems . Was ready in 8 weeks but could have gone another at least . Next time I will flower for longer to see if there's much difference in that last week to ten days. You can find these beans at : Zamnesia.com 20%off code : ZAMMIGD2023

10/04 - DAY 71 - Girls are within the harvest window per breeder. Trichomes still immature and 70/30 clear/cloudy - Both girls giving off slight diesel aromas with Jane giving off more strawberry. 10/08 - DAY 75 - Some purple filled trichomes are appearing. Foxtails are starting on Mo. Gonna push for another week.

22. Oktober Alle drei Samen sind was geworden :) Gibt nicht viel zu erzählen außer das ich mich freue dass wieder etwas wächst :D 27. Oktober Es ist schon der erste Mist passiert 😅 meine Lampe war leider nur auf 1% Leistung eingestellt und ich habe es nicht gemerkt x) habe vergessen die Ei Stellung im Timer zu ändern. Das Endergebnis ist Spargel der sich kaum tragen kann. Aber noch ist nichts verloren

A new project begins!!! with Zamnesia and Plagron, I have already grown them once - THEY are amazing!!!! But this time I want to try their automatic genetics:) the girl will spend all her growing time in a suitcase :D A really interesting journey awaits with her, I always have some hope of winning the main prize This time is NO EXCEPTION !!!:D Good luck to everyone :)

Eccoci qua all ultima settimana di questa esperienza grandiosa! La mia prima volta in coltura DWC per me è stato fenomenale! Sono uscite due ragazze stupende! La papaya sherbert è davvero quella uscita meglio con dei bei fiori compatti e pieni di resina! L unica cosa negativa è che devo aver sbagliato qualcosa, anche se nn so cosa, dato che i fiori sono rimasti piccoli, numerosi ma molto piccoli rispetto alle coltivazioni fatte in precedenza.. Xo davvero a livello terpenico queste due piante sono spettacolari! Il loro odore penetra tutta la mia abitazione, uscendo anche fuori sopratutto la mattina presto, nonostante il filtro a carboni, in tutto il mio giardino si sente odore di frutta "molto speziata" in inverno, quindi quando tutti gli altri odori sono assenti, apparte l odore della combustione della legna della stufa... L unuca cosa che mi protegge dai miei vicini che potrebbero sospettare che di fianco a loro succede qualcosa di strano! 😂Grazie a tutti voi che mi avete seguito fino ad ora, vi terrò aggiornati per l. Imminente raccolta, ora ho cambiato l acqua per l ultima volta e ho messo acqua normale con il finale clean di Terra Aquatica, che nel giro di 3 max 4 giorni dovrebbe pulire a dovere la ragazza da tutti i nutrienti in eccesso, speriamo esca Dell ottima erba, con una combustione ottimale e un fumo pulito! Un abbraccio e buone fumate 420 a tutti! 🤞🍀💪😸🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾❄️❄️❄️😽💨💣💥💚💚💚

Great week, buds getting dense. Really frosty, smell incredible hard to describe but Strawberry a bit of lime and fruity, really nice cant wait to try .thanks everyone

Hey everyone 😃 The time has come , On flowering day 72 the harvest was carried out 😍. After spending two days in the darkroom at 62% humidity, they were now harvested cleanly by hand 😃. After harvesting, they were laid out on the net as usual, where they can now slowly dry again for about 7-10 days at 62%. Then they come with 62% in jars for 2-4 weeks, and then the 58% boveda packs are put in 👍. Of course, I will come to the phenotypes themselves in detail in the last update. Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🍀👋 You can buy this Strain at https://thecaliconnection.com/seeds/girls-scout-cookies-34.html You can buy the fertilizer at https://www.greenbuzzliquids.com/ Type: Girls Scout Cookies ☝️🏼 Genetics: GSC Tint Mint 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green Buzz Liquids : Organic Grow Liquid Organic Bloom Liquid Organic more PK More Roots Fast Buds Humic Acid Plus Growzyme Big Fruits Clean Fruits Cal / Mag Organic Ph - Pulver ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 - 0.4 EC.

Switched over to bloom Booster tablets now the preflowers are showing I think the roots have filled the pots as they drink it dry every day! Especially the tallest! No LST just a few fans nipped of or the odd blade that's blocking light has been removed, and its helped! My HPS is leeching calcium from my tops but the bloom booster has 40% more cal/mag in them so we should be good. I just rotate the plants and it seems to get the green back in the leaves. Its technically 6 weeks from sprout BTW. Thanks for watching, any tips feedback welcome. Update- so the stretch hasn't stopped. 5" since Friday, I thought I was guna get small autos lol So I decided to do some lollipoping on all the plants And some defoliation. I've supercropped the death out of my Trouble plant, I mean every branch even the top! but she's back on track and growing again! Will update Friday!

This end week 4 flowering last defoliation happy growing

I think she has finally completed her stretch, it’s getting very shiny and sticky in the tent and the buds continue to grow nicely. She continues to be super thirsty and I think i will shorten the tank change intervals. From the 11 cuttings I took in flower around 9 made it and started to root quite nicely. However I think I was a bit to generous with the nutrients, which is corrected for the next week. A third net was installed in anticipation of the main colas getting to top heavy at a later stage. I also increased the canna boost by another 25 ml.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 (3rd Week Flower) | Blossoms Rising The third week of flower has arrived, and our Lava Cakes are stepping fully into bloom. Both girls are looking beautiful, symmetrical, and strong, with thick white pistils reaching out and leaves still praying to the light. Their similarity in structure makes this run feel almost like growing twins, each reflecting the same genetics, each glowing with energy. ⸻ 🔙 Looking Back – The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups → to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs → to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. • Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters • Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely • Environment: Tuned by the TrolMaster brain, with sensors guiding irrigation and VPD All of this has brought us here: lush plants in early bloom, no signs of stress, and a canopy built for flower stacking. ⸻ 🍽️ Current Recipe – Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed — consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.5 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soil’s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. ⸻ 🌡️ Room & Rhythm • Temps: ~31–34°C (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) • Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa • Watering: Daily — plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor + Tent-X keep us informed on EC, moisture, and temps directly in-soil Even with warm conditions, the Lava Cakes are thriving, drinking more, praying more, and pushing out flowers with confidence. ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – What We See • White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. • Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching — no signs of hesitation. • Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. • Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What to Expect / Not to Expect ✅ Expect: • Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks — buds will start to swell noticeably. • Aroma development — sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. • Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. ❌ Not to expect: • Big trichome coverage just yet — resin production typically comes later. • A slowdown — stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts The Lava Cakes are shining this week. Both are aligned in their growth, both are drinking and feeding with rhythm, and both are showing that the careful setup, from lights to irrigation to sensors, is paying off. Week 3 of flower is a promise — not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of what’s coming. Thick pistils today, heavy buds tomorrow. With consistency in feeding, environment, and care, these girls are well on their way to becoming the stars of the room. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

13cm vertical growth! Just waiting for her to explode on a couple of weeks! 😃

Amended the soil today with 3 tablespoons (aka 9 tsp 😉) 4-4-4, and 3 tablespoons 2-8-4 I haven't given them any more banana tea than the one watering but I plan to this week! They really seems to pump out pistils then so hopefully they'll enjoy another fruity beverage In 3-4 weeks, I will amend with 5 tablespoons of 2-8-4 power bloom Overall, I'm beyond impressed with these girls and Fastbuds all around. These forbidden runtz are very piney and minty smelling I can't wait to taste these terps 🤸‍♀️🏼

Water change day 51. Too close to lights day 52. Used dimmer, prolly gunna buy a taller tent or modify this one. Day 54. Dimming helped, glad i caught it early.
