Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

As this will be the last time I defoliate I took away quite a few of the leaves. Maybe a little too many as most guides reccomend not taking more then 30% of the leaves in a single defoliation

A white widow #2 finalmente está se recuperando. Devido ao calor excessivo as plantas não estão com muito cheiro, infelizmente não estou conseguindo abaixar mais a temperatura. Aumentei a dose de fertilizantes e estou fazendo rega diária. As C99xBB estão super densas e com um aroma bastante marcante, provavelmente na próxima semana eu iniciarei a rega apenas com agua me preparando para colher.

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 6/7- Well, here we go into Week Ten from seed for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and I have to say she's really beginning to look like she will be a beautiful example of this strain! 6/9- Our weather is beautiful now with daytime high temp's in the 80's F without a lot of rain so I am watering her daily at sundown with approximately 3-5g of well water straight from the garden hose. 6/11- The FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF continues to sprout new growth daily now, and I have been training her branches throughout the trellis net. I was going to install a second trellis net, but decided to just use the single net and do some HST on her to keep her canopy opened up. 6/13- I gave the GG4 Sherbet FF a good watering today at sundown via the garden hose with straight well water. I am planning on top dressing her in roughly 7-10 days from now with a blend of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with some worm castings in anticipation of the start of flowering in the near future. There's another week chalked up and it won't be long until the real excitment begins when this lady begins to go into flower! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

11/12/2020 She getting funky (good) smells under flourecent light. One more week, then back to LED under11-14 to finish her off. 11/14/2020 Did a little defoliating and my fingers smelled of Skittles candy combined with earthy minty-ness gonna be interesting I think. Also switching to LED tent early, I want her under full spectrum for last couple of weeks as she puts on some weight. I'm hopeful she will finish under 70 days but not harvesting till she is done! 80/20 cloudy/amber😎

Pressed the 45-90u first at 75°C and a 2nd time at 80°C. First press was 5,65g and 2nd press was 0,5 which i dabbed right away and had some very nice candy fumez terps. Makes it a ~1,2% return on the lower quality, i am hoping for ~4g on the 90-160u which will be my premium quality. Pressed the 90-160u first at 75°C and a 2nd time at 80°C. First press was 4g like i hoped for and 2nd press was only 0,2 which i dabbed right away and had really nice high. Makes premium quality return ~0,8% from fresh frozen, which makes the tmg#1 return roughly 2% in total. Terps on the 90-160u are more subtle for now, but maybe that means i dont lose all the terps curing. Keeping it in the fridge and will only whip when it butters up.

Plants are growing healthy, actually did some low stress training on the two plans in potting soil and they are taking a liking to the conditions.

This plant is growing well, I transplanted them this week into 3 gallon pots from 1 gallon pots. Structure on this plant is pretty nice and visually pleasing to the eye lol.

Day 79. 3 liters go in. Girl got small haircut, fades quick and not nice, but i chosen that way without nutes and i stick to it. She is most behind, still has 14+ days till chop. Stinks, swapped her place in tent with Kush. Mars hydro TS 1000 works perfectly ! Happy Growing !!!

Day 47 ( 10 Days flowering): My last to update but by no means my least.!!. This strain is my favourite grower at the moment. This could change on harvest of the 4 strains but for her growing and training , she stomps it for me. # 1 In the living organic soil ( LOS ) is the biggest by a mile. This medium is a winner for me. The ease of use and the results for very little input now are amazing. Her pot is teeming with green life to keep her mulch layer active , her limbs are thick and ready to hold weight and she is covered in great bud sites. My clear favourite of the grow right here. Her buds are still looking very young but I suspect her slower building will be her sativa leaning and I think she will be one of the last out .lol #2 is keeping her pace with her sister quite well. There is a big difference in sizes which could be pot size but I suspect more medium based. She is a fair size and will be a good yielder. #3 As with the other strains, is the smaller of the 3. Coco and Mc cannot keep pace with their organic competition it seems. She is formed really well beneath the canopy and her limbs are nice and thick for holding the huge buds she will pack on. All in all , a great week and more to come.

Plants just received their last feeding. Only ph balanced water for the last 2 weeks to flush out nutrients. Leaves are starting to yellow showing signs of being almost ready for harvest. The trics are about half cloudy.

I’ve had to remove the humidifier to manage the RH. I also had to remove the carbon filter that lost its efficacy when I pumped the RH during seedling stage. QueStion. Which location in my 4x2 tent ? At canopy? Between canopy and light? Above light?
