Day 70

Lookin good so far still feeding them almost every watering. Lotus nutrients at about 75% concentration.

Flipped tent to flower Strawberry truffle is so sticky, just defoliating veg growth and your hands are extremely tacky, Healthy plants, All leaves are fat and genetics proving themselves to be strong+vigorous

~ 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: 10/6- Well here it is, the 8th and final week for the Papaya Sherbet Fem Photoperiod from FastBuds! 10/8- I am checking the Papaya Sherbet's trichomes every day now and they are just about perfect. I anticipate that it will be harvest time any day now, weather permitting. 10/11- After doing a final check of the trichomes on the Papaya Sherbet this afternoon and checking out our weather forecast, I decided that I will be taking her down early tomorrow morning before the sun comes up. 10/12- Today is CHOP DAY for the Papaya Sherbet Fem Photo! After checking over the flowers yesterday I decided that today is the day as I wanted to avoid any further chances of Boytris ruining more flowers. I got up early, before sunrise and took her down branch by branch which were then hung in my 'drying room' to begin the drying/curing process! This has been a interesting and educational journey for me and I hope that my experiences may help someone else in their garden... See you at the Harvest Report! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

So another week ticked off, with all going to plan so far. Plants all responding well to training (just lst & some tactical defoliation). All are showing their first pistils so expecting them to start stretching any time now. Only plain dechlorinated ph’d water so far into my home made dry amended soil / coco / castings mix. Will top dress at the next watering and perhaps a compost tea at the end of this / start of next week. As for the smoking, I have started to smoke a little of the strawberry pie auto from last harvest which is just starting to cure. I might even prefer it to the gorilla cookies, it’s so dank. Therefore a little bit cross with myself for not including at least 1 this round. Still, first world problems I guess. Anyway thanks for reading, have a great week. 😊

The time is coming. It's very healthy, I ended up exaggerating a little bit with the fert, but don't panic, it's organic, it caused just a little burnt on the edge of the leaves. The weather is stabilizing, it stopped raining here and the humidity is normal now. The pistils are starting to fester and are resining too much. She is very fat, the smell is strong every day and I am totally in love with her.

Wir befinden uns am Ende der Bw5. Laut Fastbuds braucht dieser Strain 7 Wochen. Die ersten Pistillen färben sich braun. Die Kelche werden bald anschwellen. Der Duft nimmt weiter zu. Sehr schöne Pflanze bisher.

Don't have a lot of time these days to take pics so I'll sum things up. CO2 got outta control and the plants took tf off literally. The video is around middle of week 3, I had to flip at week 4 BC I literally ran out of room and I had to constantly defoliate.

good afternoon growers we are at day 26/07/2024 one day later of the week 2 of life of the seedlings, today we will continue watering to amount of 150ml/l per plant, a total of 2l of osmosis water with a PH of 5.9 and an EC of 0.5, with a total of 8 ml of fertilizer 3ml of deeper underground, 3ml growth boom, 2ml enzym boom, in the next irrigation of the following week we will apply silicon to improve the cell walls and absorption of photosynthesis. buenas tardes growers estamos a dia 26/07/2024 un dia mas tarde de la semana 2 de vida de las plantitas, hoy seguiremos regando a cantidad de 150ml/l por planta , un total de 2l de agua de osmosis con un PH de 5.9 y un EC de 0.5, con un total de abonado de 8 ml de fertilizantes 3ml de deeper underground, 3ml crecimiento boom, 2ml enzym boom, en el siguiente riego de la sieguiente semana le aplicaremos al riego silicio para mejorar las paredes celulares y absorcion de fotosintesis

Plants seems healthy, they turn up into the light when its on so it looks like they evolving fast. The first leafs are a little strange😄 (lightly curved, and leafs on one plant loos sightly burned but it was explained a week ago it is probably not a real burn) but i think it is quite common and the next leafs will look normal and more beautiful!! 😇 Added some mycorrhizae today (10 grams per plant). Watering them as they want with rain water, no over or underwatering. 😎 Hope they will grow a bigger size and next week update will be more spectacular 😂

Week 6 is done and everything went smoothly, using lst and defoliation will provide maximum light penetration and maximize bud structures, adjusting ph and climate and we are golden. Flowering stage is always a no brainer for me in fact i call this step cruise control. She will do her things and she is now strong so she wont react the same to high nutrients or even ph fluctuations as long as it stays near the range, her roots are strong enough to be completely submerged since she now drinks a lot more. The purple on this strain is beautiful, Not too dark and even, edges of the calix are red like whine and the pistils creamy white with a hint of salmon like pink in there. She is gorgeous and her structure is amazing, she might event yield the same as my previous grows even if she is on the small side because of her genetics. The resin is starting to fill the trichomes but still very low, this being said if i rub the top of a sugar leaf that is coated in trichomes iT will get sticky On my fingers and the smell will start with a very strong chemical/amonia like scent and 2 seconds later welcome to the damn blueberry field my friends . Amazing, that smell is just perfect, it literally make you want to much on that leaf. I’ve had blueberry before, yes it did smell a bit like blueberry But nothing compares to this one ,in my opinion hydroponic set up brings the most out terpenoids and thc production. Next phase we will start to see bud seriously stacking and resin production, after that the buds will get some weight and mature, im expecting it to be done by week 10 if i flush it by week 9 Until then happy growing and take it easy 👊🏻

Keeping natural form. Blackberry gum is huge as I heard from others. Did some heavy defoliation.. first time ever so it's an experiment. Flooded my tent with no tray... Needed to redo connections on the tubing... Then flooded with a new tray, needed to secure the AQUAVALVES on one autopot base.... Looking good. Still running 24 hrs... Rock and roll 🤘

Girls are coming along lovely MCMOG on her bounce back game

NOTES: This week I'm starting to flush with only water and Final Solution -nutrient, so emptying the tanks and refilling them as doing so. I'll try to keep the pH at around 5,8-6,2. Overall everything looks pretty good and I can't wait to harvest. 🙏 Day99 (23.1.) Took some pics and videos for the diary with my shitty camera. Day100 (24.1.) Emptying and refilling all nutrient tanks with fresh solution as mentioned above. Day101 (25.1.) Increased the dark-/night-time by 30min so now the lights are 11,5h On / 12,5 Off. Day102 (26.1.) Day103 (27.1.) Reducing 30min of light again so now my timer is set to 11h On / 13h Off. I also moved the lights a bit higher for the rest of the grow, about 10-15cm higher than before. Day104 (28.1.) Day105 (29.1.)

I've already cut a few buds this week, so that the effect is not too deadly and suitable for work

Day 65 Update: Watered both plants with almost a gallon until runoff. Plant #2's water was dosed with Terpinator at 25ml/gal. 11 days left of flushing on Plant #1. This will be Plant #2's last nutrient watering, as she will start the flushing process next watering. Also added two yoyo hangers and two stakes to Plant #2 as her branches are getting heavy (not complaining 🤷‍♂️) Day 68 Update: Starting flush on Plant #2 today. Plant #1 has 8 days left of flushing. Watered both plants with almost a gallon of pH balanced water until runoff.

Going pretty well could someone tell me how it’s looking
