9/16/23 - Day 106 - Today was the last day of nutes. Tomorrow I start my 6 day flush with just PH 6.1 water. This is the last step before the chop! I'll throw some pictures up tomorrow of the last water exchange. I'll take some videos of the process as well. 9/17/23 - Day 107 - I added a video uptop to show how a manual water change is completed. There are two options when you start your grow to either use a water hook up or add and remove water manually. I got the unit so quickly that I didn't have my water hook up ready. For the next grow it will be ready for automatic everything. Over the next 6 days I'm going to let her drink up as much water as she can then on the 23rd I will harvest and then hang them in the box to dry. 9/22/23 - Day 112 - I've been on vacation for the past week. I turned 40 on the 18th and I took the family to Disneyland. I've had someone managing the box for me in my absence. The box is so easy to use the person who is house sitting was able to keep the operation going. That's a great sign that anyone can do this. Tomorrow is the chop! I'm super excited! So far this week she has been taking in 2x the amount of water than normal. She's dying and she knows it! She still looks just as green, no welting. Looking good. Check out the photo up top. I just got home after a CRAZY long drive home. The plant still looks the same as far as color. I was expecting her to welt, and to have yellow leaves. But she looks like shes still doing good. This is nuts. Shes not really showing any signs of dying even though shes been in .7 ppm for over a week! I may let it go another day or two? Im not really sure, I'm in super unchartered territory, you're all going to learn this along with me. Ill post updates.

Buds are forming very well. Smell is nice and increasing. Been removing big fan old leaves so sunlight can penetrate all the plant, and concentrate energy on flowers. Organic fertilization very carefully to prevent nutrient burn.

Good morning everyone! First off I want to say a special thank you to grow Diaries for Choosing Tutorial "how yo build a scrog" for Second Place! Now for the update I discovered two males in my grow both of them are Blue Hawaiian. I decided to inspect the root development sence they were going to be destroyed anyway. I was really upset on the how they look. Normally I transplant at least 4 times before I reach my final pot. On this grow I experimented by transplanting from a solo cup to my final pot and also another by just placing the seed directly into the soil. You can see from the pictures that the roots did not develop much at all. I will not be using that method again. On another note for those of you that have experience using molasses in your feeding schedule for your plants can you chime in and tell me what you would use and how you would mix? As far as the girls Our concern they are stretching out very nicely! And looking very good. Hope everyone's day goes well cheers! G.I.JOSE

I increased the fertilizer so that the still small flowers can continue to develop. Unfortunately I was only able to partially solve my problem with the yellow leaves. A few have recovered and turned green again, but new yellow leaves have also appeared in other places. Also, my exhaust fan broke and is now making very loud noises. I have ordered a new one, but it will take a while before it is delivered.

~ 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: 6/23- This is the twelfth week in veg for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she's turning into a big bushy beast! 6/25- Yesterday, I top dressed the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower with 2 cups each of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with 1 cup of Down To Earth Bio-Fish 7-7-2 and 1/2g of Wiggle Worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments in by hand I replaced the straw coating over the soil and watered them in with 5g of straight well water via garden hose as usual. Today my daily watering of the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF continues with 5-7g of straight well water from the garden hose. 6/27- Our weather continues to be HOT with heat indexes over 100℉ so I'm watering the GG4 Sherbet FF every day with 5-8g of straight well water from the garden hose in the late afternoon once the plant is in the shade. Other than the ever present leaf hoppers, which love the leaves and an occasional Japanese Beetle, there aren't any serious pest issues currently. The FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower continues to have excellent color and vigor and continues to add vertical growth! 6/29- Chalk up another week for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower. I'm super pleased with how this strain has developed and the vigor and resistance it's shown to heat, humidity and pests. I can't wait for this fine lady to begin flowering which should be happening sometime in the near future!🤩👍 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Buds are looking nice, getting plum and frosty fast. Shes still still stretching and bushing out. It was very stormy and wet this week but got some burst of nice sunlight that dried her off right away. I didn't need to eater but still fed compost tea and the stuff leftover from brewing as a top dress. Compost tea has liquid kelp and cal mag and around 700 ppm.

La planta ya empezó su etapa de floración 🔥💪 En este caso hemos aplicado una pequeña cantidad de Monster Bloon de Grotek pulverizado para la creación de tricomas de forma foliar y con ello absorba todos los nutrientes posibles Hemos bajado la temperatura 2°C y la humedad 5% para su floración La malla de scrog esta haciendo muy bien su funcion y esta respondiendo fácilmente al entrenamiento. Esperemos que siga en esta línea 👌

This week was all about letting her recover from the cloning. Sadly most clones I took did not made it. Just 2 survived my inexperience hands. The good news is that miss Daisy it's doing so well I may be able to give it another try before flipping to flower. I have no rush for this harvest so will probably give it a try. After the cloning and some extra pruning she recovered in no time. The roots look good, just wish the nutrients did not stained them, that way would be easier to sight any root rot if present. 🗓️ Day - 28 ⏰ Hour - 8:30 am / 10:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 74 / 77 💦Humidity - % 50 / 54 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 630 / 650 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 73 / 72 ⚗️PH - 6.1 / 6.1 🌿 Looks perky and happy after pruning. She’s is recovering very well. Her roots are showing new white hairs so seams she’s liking the higher nutrients levels. 🗓️ Day - 29 ⏰ Hour - 9:00 am / 🌬️Air Temp. - 76 / 💦Humidity - % 54 / ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 680 / ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 73 / ⚗️ PH - 6.1 / 6.1 📝 Added 4 Gallons of tap water starting feed for week #5 with higher nutrient concentration so ppm should stay around 600. Also added 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide to the reservoir. 🗓️ Day - 30 ⏰ Hour - 8:00 am / 🌬️Air Temp. - 76 / 💦Humidity - % 54 / ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 680 / ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 73 / ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 🌿 Bouncing back very well and has nice new roots coming out. 🗓️ Day - 31 ⏰ Hour - 8:15 am / 9:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 75 / 76 💦Humidity - % 61 / 60 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 680 / 710 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 72 / 73 ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 6.2 🌱 Two clones left of Sour Diesel show small signs of root development.

Peeking through the soil, my rainbow melon seedling is finally here! Its tiny leaves are a vibrant shade of green, and I can just imagine the colorful melons it'll produce. I'm excited to watch it grow and can't wait to share the sweet and juicy fruit with family and friends.

Die extrem hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit, verursacht durch die vielen Regen dieser Woche hat auch bei ihr Spuren hinterlassen. Ich musste eine daumennagelgroße Stelle aufgrund Budrot säubern. Der Ventilator lief zwar die ganze Zeit im Folienzelt, aber oszillierend, ich habe auf Dauergebläse direkt auf den Haupttrieb gestellt (Etwas ernten möchte ich schon noch.). Die Luftfeuchtigkeit war teilweise nachts bei 91%, der Ventilator kann es auf 74-81% herunterdrücken. Es sollen zwei regenreiche Tage kommen, danach solle wieder wärmer werden und damit höhere Temperaturen und auch hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit. Ansonsten ist sie auf dem Höhepunkt der Blüte, nur die kleinen unteren Buds sind noch im Wachstum. Der Duft ist stark und sehr süßlich geworden, die Buds werden harzig. Auch um Schimmelbildung zu minimieren habe ich die Wasserversorgung sehr eingeschränkt, sie wird von nun an auch ohne Dünger für die letzten zwei Wochen auskommen. Wenn sie es bis zur Ernte in ca. zwei Wochen schafft, ist noch eine gute Ernte für Outdoor zu erwarten. Aber bis dahin kann viel passieren. Wünscht mir viel Glück, ich kann es diesen Sommer gebrauchen. --- The extremely high humidity caused by the heavy rainfall this week has also left its mark on her. I had to clean a thumbnail-sized area due to bud rot. The fan was running continuously in the foil tent, but oscillating, so I set it to continuous operation directly on the main shoot (I would still like to harvest something). The humidity was sometimes 91% at night, but the fan can reduce it to 74-81%. Two rainy days are forecast, followed by warmer weather with higher temperatures and high humidity. Otherwise, it is at the peak of flowering, with only the small lower buds still growing. The scent has become strong and very sweet, and the buds are becoming resinous. To minimize mold growth, I have also greatly restricted the water supply, and from now on it will have to manage without fertilizer for the last two weeks. If it makes it to harvest in about two weeks, a good outdoor harvest is still to be expected. But a lot can happen between now and then. Wish me luck, I can use it this summer.
