~ 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: 5/23- Week three from seed and the second week of veg for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and she's doing surprisingly well considering the crappy weather, and being eaten like a salad by slugs and a rabbit! 5/25- The diatomaceous earth that I spread around her seems to have lessened the attacks on her leaves. I've also been spraying her down every other day with Neem Oil, and every three days with an organic insecticidal soap that I'm sure has helped as well. I watered the Papaya Sherbet today via garden hose and began to train her branches a bit as well. 5/27- The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet continues to do exceptionally well with great color and vigor, putting out new growth it seems daily. 5/29- There's three weeks on the books for this little lady and I'm looking forward to see what she'll look like in the coming weeks! I will have to top dress her soon, probably in the next few days. I haven't added any dry amendments to her since I initially amended her soil and she's a hungry girl... Hope to see you next week, stay Blessed! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

This one didn't put on near as much stretch as the last one but she is doing well. A little heavy on the nutrients so I diluted the the reservoir. She is doing her thing making some buds.

Was a quarter pound plus grow on a autoflower. Plant was very happy during most of grow. Was my first cbd grow. Smoke is more calming and sedating. Smells like lemon pledge wood cleaner.

🍁Dicas e sugestões? As meninas agradecem! 📸Update de fotos, vídeos e informações diariamente. DAY 22 Estudado muito para ver se aprendo algo sobre NUTRIÇÃO DAS PLANTAS e consigo fazer um bom schedule. Daqui 3 dias começo alimentá-las com nutrientes minerais. Infelizmente preciso esperar os medidores de pH e TDS/EC chegarem. O pior é que acho que elas estão pedindo comida. Ainda bem que são só 3 dias até os medidores chegarem. DAY 23 Amanhã os medidores de EC e pH chegam! Minhas meninas finalmente vão ser alimentadas, estão famintas com certeza. Cresceram muito e comeram o “quase nada” que tinha no substrato. A deficiência de Nitrogenio (N) já pode ser vista nas folhas enroladas 90°. DAY 24 😃 Os medidores de pH e EC finalmente chegaram!! Já podemos começar a alimentação das meninas. Todos muito felizes. DAY 25 Todas meninas devidamente alimentadas. Muita expectativa para saber se elas gostaram dos nutrientes. Elas estão crescendo bem, mesmo com fome (até 1cm/dia). DAY 26 😍Minhas meninas estão crescendo maravilhosamente! Hoje reguei só com água, mas amanhã vou dar mais comida de novo. Escolhi dar alimentação 2 vezes na semana. COP está cada dia mais bonita. C4 foi removida do growbox e agora está na varanda aproveitando a luz natural. Agora são 4 plantas, as 2 mais fortes irão para a floração na barraca. DAY 27 As meninas receberam a segunda alimentação da semana e ficaram muito felizes. Aumentei a rega para 500ml/planta. DAY 28 ✂️ Para aprender e entender um pouco melhor como funciona e como elas se comportam fiz hoje poda de cobertura e defoliation nas plantas C1 e C3. Na C1 eu deixei 4 fan leafs, na C3 eu deixei 2 fan leafs. Espero que elas gostem do novo penteado. 🎃Obrigado por verificar meu cultivo.

Tentei fazer um scrog na última semana mas a planta estava pedindo mais espaço pra crescer, então trouxe ela pro meio do grow e deixei todo esse ambiente para ela, ela continua muito forte e sem nenhum sinal de estresse. Não colocava muita fé nessa strain mas confesso que já sonho com uma grande colheita!

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. 👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Hello Diary, The harvest is approaching on my small farm. Actually, one plant is already ripe for harvest and that is Titan F1, So Apollo F1 and Milky Way F1 will be left alone for another week. As seen in the photos, the Apollo F1 is truly a sight for the eyes. The flowers are very densely packed, I have never seen anything like that before. But the plant is low, the branches are strong and there is no bending under the weight of the flowers. The flowers are full of trichomes that emit a strong fragrance. Here and there a yellowish leaf appears, which I immediately remove. Watering is a little more frequent due to the high temperatures, but I stopped adding any nutrients. Here's a quick recap of the week. 26/06/2023 - Day 58. Watering. Only two days later, the plants drank all the water, so I watered them with two liters for each individual plant. 29/06/2023 - Day 61. Watering. I repeated the procedure as I did three days earlier. 01/07/2023. - Day 63. Photographing plants. That's all for this week, see you soon.

Esta semana fue solamente de flush 🚿 en esta ocasión decidí usar florakleen para ver con cual obtengo mejor resultado si con este o con flawless finish, lo hice así, primero hice un lavado con pura agua con ph de 6.2 lo hice desde el ultimo día de la semana anterior, fue lavado doble, uno en cuanto se encendio la luz y otro justo antes de apagarse, luego empezando esta semana regué dos dias usando el florakleen y ph de 6.2, el tercer día no regué y al final de ese día le di corte ✂️ y la colgué, actualmente ya la tengo curando, la tuve 10 días secándose con una humedad de entre 50 y 60% para un secado lento.

So over all there all doing ok. I've had some issues with bud rot on auto i lost 2 more buds. I'm going to harvest it this weekend 2 more days its ready it smells great. Last week I found some yellowing leaves which prompted me to buy a soil ph tester. I had a bit high ph on both orange punch at 8 ph and around 7.6 on the dynamite desiel and 7 on the og kush. I ordered ph down but by time it got here the ph has come down on everything but 1 dynamite. We had some rain 2 days im thinking that dropped it a bit idk but the yellowing has stopped and they all look healthy just a few left over yellowish leaves. I've also bought a water ph tester it came today but ill be testing my nute solution from now on. All ph was between 6.2 and 7 except the one desiel was at 7.8. The orange punch 1 is budding up real good #2 is slightly behind. The dynamite are both starting to show flowers but are about 2 weeks behind the orange and the og kush is somewhere in between.the orange punch definitely has a citrus smell to it for sure its strong

Topped on wk Seeing good growth at 3ml A & B, Cal mag every other day directly injected into buckets. added 1ml of bloom pk once for root health. Some days I run 1 ballast at 400w while other at 600w to ensure a controlled stretch of growth For vertical scrog. Some of the other strains aren't looking as good as Poddy
