This was a brilliant week for plant growth, with some side branches over doubling their height. I added the ScrOG net at the beginning of the week and began some more intensive training. The broken mainled blue has fully recovered from last week's damage, and is quickly catching up the my other mainled experiment. The LST only plants I pretty much just continued to bend. The topped & LST'd plants I removed some of the lower bud sites that were not getting any light. I also removed a few awkward fan leaves that could not be tucked away. The addition of the net has helped with this though, as keeping the canopy even is much easier with the support it gives. I also decided not to try any further cuts on the (half) mainlined auto's. My reasoning is that they have developed strong, independent colas already, so cutting for more would not see much gain. The plants had also begun to flower on the night I went to perform the second cut, and my growing experience tells me not to mess with flowering plants too much so here we are. I gave the plants one regular watering of 10L pH'd water, and a 20L nutrient mix using the ratios stated above. All volumes were split equally between the plants. The scrawny looking blue critical has perked up a heck of a lot, but is still the weakest of the 3. The strongest plants by far are the ones that have been topped and LST'd, closely followed by the mainlined ones. LST only is definitely great, but it is clearly lagging behind the other two techniques.

DAY 21 FLOWERING: Howdy folks. Here we are on day 21 flowering for these willing and healthy Zamnesia ladies. They took no time at all to relish back up again following their defol earlier in the week. I took a fair bit of leaf matter out and also did a little popcorn stripping too. Now it looks as if I never did anything at all. This used to be my dilemma with the debate surrounding defoliation, however , the size and shape of the leaves that were removed, would have been huge and needed a lot of space and airflow to remain healthy alone , never mind flourishing in flower !. Removing those leaves has not stunted the flowering process or halted the stretch period either. The smaller helpers have now become the bigger powerhouses and filled the plants frame with big green spectrum grabbers. I am going to remove some more leaf to allow more airflow and light to get around the multiple bud sites that litter the canopy from every angle but have been shaded and tucked away behind leaves. Getting light on to the stem is a goal too . If light gets there , so can fresh air !. They have all grown a lot this week and containing them is going to be fun as the get buds fattening too. I am considering putting my new light in for a little wider coverage now as I think they will need it possibly. I have a viparspectra p4000 getting Ansy in its box and it wants to get involved.lol The Girl scouts are thriving with so much growth on the #2 that she doesnt know which site to focus on so it going for them all. She has a lot of potential bid sites. #1 is a more natural growth pattern with lots of secondaries wanting g main status. The Amnesia haze had a good strip out to get that huge bushy appearance change , they have all cone back with a vengeance and will be stripped again a little now. The signs of calmag def are still around but I am trying to avoid having to add it in in flowering this run to see how much difference it makes with the feeds I am using. So far no issues with feeding at all and they are only showing a slight tip burn from the strength probably. I am still pulling them lateral each room visit to encourage them to find their own growing space that works for them and so far so good and they are playing ball. They are drinking all of their feed very quickly now so i will have to up the feed times now I think . I am feeding every 3 days with approx 3L each pot . seeing how the 1# Girl scout looked , I think every other day now . Let's see what the next week brings. Be happy growmies.

PATIENCE, cooler temps and straight water for 2 weeks, girls smell sweeter each time I have a look inside. getting close to $60 for 2 complete grows with my SF 2000. my next grow I will factor in all costs from dirt, seeds to all electricity and nutrients. Some amber showing, won’t be too much longer I’m ready but the girls have other plans apparently, so I wait...waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun.... 2/28/21. .... well shit, the girls won't be ready together, which means I will need to use another tent to start drying. my place will be packed up in boxes ready for the movers except for a drying tent for the kush...its gonna be close. Later that day... one plant harvested at 1.4lbs wet (22.5 oz) Life is good

~ 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: 5/9- Week Six for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she is doing great! Our weather, so far, has been rather cool and damp. We've had showers on and off every 2-3 days which has taken care of my watering chores which I won't complain about. 5/11- I'm continuing to monitor the leaf damage and am keeping up with the Neem Oil applications to mitigate as much further damage as possible. I still have yet to put eyes on the culprits responsible for the damage to the leaves. Tomorrow I'm going to top dress the GG4 Sherbet for the first time since transplanting outside into her pre-amended soil mix. 5/13- Yesterday, I top dressed the GG4 Sherbet FF with 2 cups of Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose and 1/2g of worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments into the soil, I watered them in via garden hose with well water. 5/15- There's six weeks of veg for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and, with our weather finally cooperating, she's beginning to really take off! I can't wait to see what she'll do over the course of the next few weeks... should be exciting! Thank you for checking out my diary.

We finally moved them to the hydroponic set up. I’m controlling everything except the in line fan and the spider farmer fan with the 69 pro infinity (Witch I’m in love by the way) Watermelons are in the left, Coco Fresh on the right, Coco Fresh are going to be bigger plants for sure. Spider farmer G8600 / 16 inch / 50% I will be switching to their new G1000W in 2 weeks. I will be using Floraflex: V1 8 grams V2 8 grams For a 5 gallons bucket with 4 gallons of water / 650 PPM / 5.8 PH Im kind of fighting with the humidity, AC infinity T7 Cloud forge should arrive in a week in order to help me out because the 2 humidifiers im using are not doing to much. I’m very exited to see them wrong.

Correct result for Sweet Gelato Auto. Easy growing: dynamic and healthy vegetative period. Short, solid and bushy plant, it need 11 or 12 weeks from seed to harvest. Flowers are very resinous and thick with a strong and aggressive aroma. The Cookies genetic is very recognizable. The yield could be bigger with a good training (LST) instead of having a big central bud.

Semana pre floración del 15 al 21 de marzo. Empezamos la pre floración bajando las horas de luz y utilizando Genesis. Para fertilizar utilizar media parte de grow y media parte de bloom del Snoop's Dog Premium. El 20 de marzo las podé un poquito en la parte de abajo, no estamos haciendo scrog porque al ser tan novata me dio miedo hacer el corte apical, pero la malla servirá igualmente para separar las ramas. El 21 de marzo se aplicó el jabón potásico y aceite de neem. Vi algún bichito negro y pequeño tipo mosca, no sé si será la mosca negra del sustrato porque usamos coco y no vi larvas ni daños en las hojas ni por abajo, ni por arriba. Por precaución he puesto canela en recipientes. Próximamente agregaré el deshumidificador porque por ahora, con el extractor todo el tiempo, la humedad no baja del 50-55%.

8/17 - Fed the ladies with liquid nutrients today. Also did some selective defoliation. The soil looks really healthy. You can see how happy my worms are. The two are coming along nicely and just starting to bud. 8/19 - Top fed all the ladies today with Uprising Grow, Uprising Bloom, and Elemental. 8/21 - They are in bloom! They are beginning to flower and looking lovely. In between feedings I water with RO water and molasses. They seem to love it. 8/24 - Blooming along nicely! Watering just about every day now. Added some mulch to the tops that I made from the dried leaves I take during defoliation. Hoping to keep the tops a little more moist.

I shouldn't have started the lst training on her because she started flower very fast and early so she ended uo being very small, which I hate because It has a very skunk citric aroma very powerful, I had a little harvest of 10g counting the little flowers which I used to make cannabutter to make some edibles.I wish I could have a huge harvest of this amazing strain, looking forward to grow her again. 🤞💚🌱💎
