~ 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: 8/18- Week 5 of flower's here for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she has transformed into an absolutely gorgeous specimen of this strain, and hopefully it will become a good example of this strains capabilities! Our weather continues to be cool and dry with nighttime temp's dipping into the upper 50's℉ with daytime highs in the mid to upper 70's℉, and the daylight has dropped to just over 13 hours now. 8/20- I am still watering the GG4 Sherbet FF daily but, with the cooler weather and with the plant at this stage of flower, her water requirements have dropped a bit so I'm only giving approximately 4-5g of well water after the sun goes down to allow it to soak in thoroughly throughout the soil. 8/22- Along with my daily watering, I am also constantly going through the plant and removing any dead or yellowed leaves. I'm also checking over the entire plant including the undersides of leaves looking for early signs of insect infestation or their eggs being laid, as well as looking for signs of deficiencies and as flowering progresses mold and fungus.🤢 8/24- With five weeks of flower behind her now, the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower has passed the halfway point and only has another 2-3 weeks to go! My only hope is that our weather continues to cooperate and at least stay dry to quell any fears of bud rot on her beautiful flowers! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Harvested one last night on 6.17 the other got last watering today. The nugs are real solid I like the purple tint and the smell is strong.These came out much better compared to my last ones.

Looking good to me so far

Just bought some "predatory mites" to kill bad mites and it's working! I've spread half of a bottle in all my babies soil and the situation changed in like 3 days, not even one bug stayed alive. I've used also the Neem oil to prevent flies to go on their leaves and they are fine now. Starting LST, let's see how they will react. Keep you updated folks! Have a wonderful week!

Beginning week 5 looks amazing!! Yes I am so loving this plant going to pollenate one with FruitWalker 50/50

Well I've had a few problems along my first grow but thankfully the WW being a tough strain I made it work and I'm very happy with my outcome and I'll be doing a few things differently for sure, for a start I've changed my pots to new 13 ltr pots and can't wait to see what happens so that's one of many things I'm changing Looking forward to sharing with you all soon my new diary and love to grow 🌱✌️

Aún no aparecen las raíces por el fondo de la maceta. Seguimos con el propagador.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now about 2 weeks into flower, and the stretch is winding down. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I will start to add a PK booster this week. I also will be switching to light from V1 to F1 sometime this week, and also integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started. The 5X5 is really starting to fill up nicely, I am running two dehumidifiers outside of the tent and I am able to maintain around 50% RH in the tent during lights on, and around 55% RH with lights off. Still very happy with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 90% in the V1 cycle and will be transitioning to the F1 cycle later this week. Overall, the plants seem very happy and healthy. The temperature and humidity is significantly dropping so that helps keeping the tent cool and not overly humid. This is by far the best time of year to be flowering plants in my region. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Well this little tester has out grown her sisters by quite alot in its development , she is much larger and bigger leaves than the others and looks like she is really reaching for the stars and has had nothing more than fresh water until this week

Day 152 from seed ( 98 days since I changed photoperiod) and I'm harvesting after one week flush. A few buds seemed to have started decaying inexplicably, like burned, and had acquired a grayish- brownish coloration that I didn't like at all. I think she's caught a fungus. Besides I also think spider mites have done they job well because I was amazed at the extent they had sucked the sap on almost every leaf of the plant, fan leaves mostly. They have weakened the plant so much that she may be int he process of a more terrible thing that could be fungi. Back to spider mites, it is indeed nasty to see the damage this pest has done so far, because I see they have chewed almost -if not all- leaves, and fortunately they hadn't started to form webs, which I abhore seeing. I had started to see adult spider mite forms into the very inside of buds, while I was inspecting the thricomes, so before this nasty pest would eat up my precious buds, or any other cause (mold, etc) I took the decision to flush and harvest her progressively. First I'd harvest the most ripen buds or those that show signs of decaying and leave to the end the most immature (those that were far from lights, which are terminal and very big and dense though a but immature and bright green. The plant looked overall ready and I preferred to harvest the most bud I could, as you may imagine, but I would have liked another week for flushing more thoroughly. I've been flushing with tapwater and 2 mL/L Flawless Finish from Advanced Nutrients. In the next few days I'll be finishing her completely, drying won't take long and as for curing I think a couple of weeks. The smell in the room is really heavy (in fact it has been heavy for the last month), it stinks oif citrus here.

week 5 of flower and she has started to show some frosty, frosty, diameter of buds is growing nicely. under canopy seems to be developing nicely as well. Light is penetrating into the lower canopy thanks to the intensity and far red capabilities of this awesome light from Meijiu.

She seems to be growing kinda slow.. I'm sure it's from all the stress I put on her. She should pick back up this week. Day 30 and she has some calyxes poppin up everywhere.. I think day 31 I found her first pistil.. Ill know for sure day 32. She's healthy and the slow growth is picking up a little. I need to put in some horizontal spikes to tie the branches down a little more.. Just enough to give the colas room to grow at this point. She's not gonna be a massive yield (obviously) but not gonna be a complete waste of time. Once I harvest my current main plant I will try it again in a 5 gallon pot. Yup! Pistils at day 32.. Just small and hard to take a pic of. Preflower begins!!! This week temps have been getting up to 86F.. I put in a 2nd inline fan with carbon filter and 2 more fans for the top of canopy to get some air movement. The air is NOT cooling down enough so Im just gonna have to go without the filter. ... Later that day... Even without the filter, the tent still gets up to 84F.. WTF?! It was staying below 80 with just a little clip-on fan and small inline fan pulling air out and nothing pushing air in.. Im using the smaller inline to pull air in and the new inline pulling air out.. Now it gets warmer.. I dont get it.. Gonna have to go back to my old setup I guess.. ... Even later that day... Put up the old ventalation.. But with extra fan still pulling in air.. Smell may be strong throughout my room when lights go out.. But oh well.. I love the smell. Tied down branches a little more.. They should be far enough to do what she needs to do.. Pistils are there.. Just very very small at this point.. But they are there on a couple branches lookin good and happy! 😊 no more leaf removing.. This is only my 3rd auto... Second auto is only halfway through flower now.. Sooo, I'm still learning!!!

Ciao a tutti! Sono veramente senza parole per la quantità di terpeni e tricomi, mai avuti risultati simili. Devo dire che la linea advanced nutrients sta facendo tutto il suo dovere, non ho mai sentito un profumo così, si sente anche fuori di casa. Ho defogliato ancora tra una rete e l'altra andando a eliminare tutte le foglie che erano inutili, per evitare rischi muffa (visto anche l'umidificatore acceso) e per far sì che aria e luce non abbiano impedimenti a circolare liberamente. Penso che manchino 3 settimane, dalla prossima inizierò con l'overdrive per far sì che la pianta inizi a scaricare tutto quello che ha. Sono veramente soddisfatto, senza parole. La prossima volta metterò solo più due vasi e due strain, per ridurre il consumo di acqua e fertilizzanti, ho visto che ce la posso fare tranquillamente e più o meno nelle stesse tempistiche, visto l'eccessivo allungamento avuto questa volta. Una nota di merito allo strain, la barney's non delude mai ma la mimosa evo è veramente top, lo scorso anno ho fatto quella normale stavolta per orange punch e devo dire che è lo strain migliore che ho messo finora. Bene, continuerò a rifarmi gli occhi, a settimana prossima! 🤣 🍀😎💪🏼🔝

The Mandarin Squeeze sisters have been making good vegging progress this last week. I changed the solution on them a few days ago. The ph has been very stable, and good growth has shown this. They got some further lst and selective defoliation today. Everything is going really good at the moment. Thank you Terpyz Mutant Genetics, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 8 (2020-05-17): G14 is looking a bit lopsided with its weird conjoined twin leaf, but the second set is growing opposite so hopefully it will balance itself out. I spent some time today getting the grow tent cleaned out and ready to move these two in and am starting to setup the Blumats for 2 gallon fabric pots when I transplant. Day 9 (2020-05-18): Moved the plants to the tent where they will spend the rest of the grow. Waiting to transplant until roots have established a bit more. They are now under the Kolem 800W (120W actual) LED light, currently running around 35% power. Watered today. Day 10 (2020-05-19): Transplanted to the 2 gallon fabric pots today and installed the Blumats. Added Drip Clean into the nute mix. Increased the light to 60% due to the increased distance after losing the Solo cups. Day 11 (2020-05-20): Transplant seems to have taken and saw some nice leaf growth over the last 24 hours. Main stems are noticeably fatter, also. G14 is still looking wacky. Day 12 (2020-05-21): Not much to report. Things are still looking good and I guess the Blumats are doing there thing? Coco seems plenty moist after 2 days. Day 13 (2020-05-22): Still trying to dial in Blumats. Coco is starting to dry out. Day 14 (2020-05-23): Hand watered to get back to optimum moisture and made further Blumat adjustments. By the end of the day it looks things are stable and correct. The G14 seems to be doing fine despite looking a bit weird

Struggled with possibly a calcium and magnesium deficiency on #4. Had to remove some damaged leaves and now have separated it to her own reservoir. Has not stunt her growth, she is bout 5 inches taller atm then her sisters. Flow has been a struggle, if I was do one thing different is go with a 1" drain system instead of the 1/2" it presently has. Started with a drip, yet due to clogs and wanting a faster circulation, I changed to a steady flow over the clay. Presently #1 - #3 are on one reservoir and #4 on its own reservoir (In the video above shows #4). It's been a matter of adjusting the output flow and tubing size to get maximum flow without backing up the drain system.

Somehow I counted weeks in a silly way, so I thought this was week 8 but it's still week 7. LoL. Plant is doing great anyway, She's big, exceeding 70 cm diameter, With so many colas at canopy level I expect her to yeld very big fo an Autoflowering strain, The training succesfully shaped her resulting in 10 branch reaching the top canopoy level. To me the key to a good training is timing, much more than continuous adjustment. This plant was bent just one time on main stem and one another time little later the branches. We had rainy days so I used a dehumidifier for a day or two, now it's dry again outside so no need for it anymore. She's still thirsty like a bitch as she drinks 5 liters of water every two day. Maybe I'll make a drip sistem for my next grow, watering has been boring lately. I'm not giving her anything to the end now, she's doing fine like this. The humus coupled with slow release fertilizer is doing a great job. She has some nitrogen excess to me, but she's the only plant to show it in a batch of 6. The issue seems very small to me anyway. Day 48 checked trichomes, some is turning milky already, can't wait for the buds to ripen :) Ciao Bottanico
