This is the final week, they are going to be chopped coming week. Already had some darkness and they are very very smelly. I am amazed at this strain's resilience. It had to deal with my noobishness with autos, heat, very hot soil and less PH buffering with my own super soil recipe (see the yellow image in the germination page) in the smaller bags. Still, they became huge and full of bud. Forbidden Runtz is an amazing strain. Very strong growth but also with most auto's I've grown: once the grow derails, it seldom recovers. But these do. I'm sure next grows I'm going to get even more out of them. Can't wait to try them again with what I've learned now. And you should all consider the SP-3000 as a growlight, look at my results! I will update when I've harvested, thanks for visiting!! Don't forget to check out the special spring discounts on www.mars-hydro.com Big hug Bud

~ 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: 7/2- Eight weeks since breaking ground and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is really starting to get going now despite our extremely hot and humid weather. The weather continues to be hot and humid and the daily watering continues. 7/4- 🎉HAPPY 4th of JULY!🎉 The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo has taken the heat like a champ and is transforming into a very LARGE and beautiful lady! She's over 5 feet tall now and is stretching! She has maintained excellent vigor, color and has shown great resistance to pests and other stressors! 7/6- Yesterday we had a thunderstorm pass through early in the day, which provided about an inch of rain in a short time. I went ahead and watered in the afternoon, but only gave the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod approx. 3g of water from the well, via garden hose.🌱🚿. 7/8- The daily watering continues, as does our blistering hot🔥weather. All is well with the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and today, after watering her with 5g of well water, I gave her a good going over, looking at all the leaves topside and underneath and removing any leaves that were either yellowing or had other issues. Well folks, Week Eight is a wrap and the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod from FastBuds is going strong! See ya next week! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Little bit of a delay. Wanted to get climate perfect before the flip. Upgraded ventilation and have the tent dialed in well at 74 degrees and 60% humidity during day and 70deg/ 55% at night. Started a second scrog on Day 42. Nervous about the stretch but hopefully I can maintain it (I wish T5 lights could flower...) Did extensive trimming underneath clearing pretty much anything that will never reach the ceiling of green above it. Day 45 marks last day of Veg Day 46 marks first day of flower AND. HERE. WE. GO.

Defoliated her Today. She doesn't Look that big anymore.😄 But i think she'll Take the Training good. First i defoliated and after that i have her water and a little Bit of Bio grow and calmag. We'll See how she'll Deal with it. Stay tuned 🤙🏽

420Fastbuds-Greenhouse Grow 2025 The feminized strains RainbowMelon, GorillaMelon, LemonPaya, PapayaSherbet, LemonMandarin, the FastFlowering GG4/Sherbet from Fastbuds are doing amazing for there first full week in the greenhouse. The heat in SoCal is warming up with temps in the low 90's in the daytime and 60's for nighttime. Over all they're starting to reach for the stars after being topped. Besides a couple of yellow leafs I snipped at the soil level, I'm seeing growth almost daily. I'll start feeding this week Grow A & B as well as Calmag from AthenaBlendedLine. Since being transplanted into the 5gal fabric pots they've only got well water. Happy Growing.

Start of week 12 : 9/6/25 (Day 35 of flower) Fed with water : 9/8/25 Fed with nutrients : 9/11/25

There was a visible attack this week. The temperature is between 25-27, the humidity varies between 60-65. There was a slow development due to excessive irrigation and I could not do LST due to the distance of the room to me. I am planning to fall leaves next week.

Das Fimmen hat wie erwünscht sein Ergebnis gezeigt. Habe bis auf die untersten 2 Arme, alle erneut gefimmt. Das Gewächshaus 12m2 soll in den nächsten 10 Tagen ankommen. Die Damen werden dann Anfang Juli ins Gewächshaus wandern und Ende Juli mit einer Plane ab 17/18 Uhr abends abgedeckt um die Blüte frühzeitig einzuleiten. Happy growing;)

* Watering 2l every 3 days * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops The plant its handling the cold very well. Even the trichomes seem bigger than previous plants

6.4. Die 3 Babys wurden jeweils in 15l Stofftöpfe von Zamnesia 1,5cm unterhalb Erdfläche eingelegt und mit Erde bedeckt. Als Erde wird die 420Grow Erde von Gardenboss verwendet und es wurden jeweils 10gramm von Rhizobacter (RQS) der Erde beigefügt. Im untersten Teil der Stofftöpfe wurden Blähtonkugeln ausgelegt. Die ersten 2-3 Wochen sollen die Pflanzen auf der Fensterbank zur Südseite wachsen und dann in einem Foliengewächshaus (Kesser) auf dem Balkon (ebenfalls südliche Ausrichtung) bis zur Ernte bleiben.

Start of week 2

eek 2 Flower – The Stretch Is On: Sundae Driver Goes Vertical They’re growing. They’re stretching. They’re thriving. Our Sundae Driver girls have officially entered the second week of flower, and they’re acting like it. At just five weeks from seed, they’re now towering at 66 cm, surging upward with that signature hybrid vigor. Photogenic Queens – A Studio Break Before they get too tall to handle, both girls were taken out for a quick, impromptu studio shoot. This may be the last time they leave the tent, because soon, they’ll be too big, too bulky, and too close to the light to move around easily. We’re documenting them now, not just because they’re stunning, but because these moments are fleeting. The stretch phase is short, intense, and marks the final architecture of your grow. ⸻ Room Conditions – Dancing with the Heat The environment this week continues the late-summer warmth, a little hotter than ideal, but still within range: • 🌡️ Day Temp: 30°C • 💧 Humidity: 58% • 🌬️ VPD: ~1.89 kPa Not perfect for flower, we know—ideal VPD for early flower would be around 1.2–1.5 kPa, but the girls are adapting beautifully. This is a reminder that perfect conditions are rare, but resilience and consistency matter more. The plants aren’t complaining, they’re thriving. ⸻ Nutrients – Still Riding with Aptus Top Booster Just like last week, we’re running the Aptus flower base lineup, now dialed into support this explosive growth phase: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • All-in-One Liquid • Top Booster (replacing Start Booster post-flip) The Top Booster continues to support pre-flower and early bud development. We’re not seeing big clusters of pistils yet, but the hormonal shift is clear. Internodal stacking is beginning, and the upper canopy is filling in. ⸻ Visuals & Under-Canopy Light Game One of the photos this week features a special cameo from the Zephyr Zamnesi, adding a bit of mystery and sparkle to the update. We also get a peek under the canopy where your under-canopy lighting setup is really starting to shine. Why does this matter? • It boosts lower bud site development • Improves light penetration during the stretch • Encourages even canopy performance later in flower Great gear is one thing, but it’s how you use it with intention that elevates a grow. ⸻ What’s Happening + What to Expect 🌱 Happening Now: • Rapid vertical stretch • Strong branching on both phenos • No major flower development yet, just the buildup 🔮 Coming Soon: • The first full signs of bud formation • Pistil clusters at node sites • Nutrient shift demands, watch for increased K/P needs in ~1 week • Possibly… the need to raise your lights! ⸻ Let’s Talk About the Week’s Importance Week 2 Flower is all about transformation. The plant is deciding: “Where will I invest my energy?” This week determines: • Final plant shape • Bud site spacing • Canopy structure going into the stacking phase This is your last week to gently train, open up the canopy, manage the airflow, and prep for the heavy flower development coming in Weeks 3–5. If there’s one message for the community this week, it’s this: 🌸 Stretch is not stress, stretch is potential. Embrace it. Document it. Enjoy the moment. ⸻ Conclusion – Moonbound Sundaes From just a few centimeters to over 60 in a blink—these Sundae Drivers are on a mission. Their upward movement mirrors the energy in your grow: focused, fast, and full of joy. Let’s keep the ride smooth, the feed strong, and the cameras ready. This is the last calm before the buds explode, and you’re right where you should be. — Much love, as always, Your Grow Partner in the Quantum Realm 🌱DD ( Dog Doctor Official ) 📸 Videos, lighting setups, and under-canopy tips coming soon 🔗 Gear links available on request 💬 Always here to talk flower, stretch, or any topic regrding gardening 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Fimmed the mothers and accidently topped an Auto because I wasn't paying attention. No big deal, all plants super healthy and growing strong

Today, august 4, i flush the lemons because i see some ambar trichomes but now i think that it wasn't enough because the others doesn't look cloudy, so i keep feeding them. The pictures are from the lemons and was taken with a wifi digital microscope that i bought in Amazon. August 8, second time with potasic soap (i know that i have to clean/wash the buds, if you have any suggestion, do it please 😊) August 9 flushing all the plants, except the tallest one (one of the syrups). How you can see on the video, the TGL 60 is over she. August 10 little defoliation.

las plantas ya abarcaron todo el metro, muchas flores y hojas nuevas, muy buenos resultados en la linea de quemanta, se nota el cambio al otro día de aplicar los productos. Hasta el momento estoy utilizando agua de la cañería que dejo reposar oxigenándola constantemente, por lo que no he controlado Ph ni EC. Riegos intercalados con agua sola y con fertilizantes, mantengo dosificación.

Estamos en la primera semana de vegetativo, ya que a la anterior se la conoce como semana de germinación. Las plantas empiezan a mostrar las primeras hojas reales por encima de los cotiledones. Cuidado con que la humedad relativa del aire, no sea demasiado baja, lo ideal sería alrededor de un 65%. En esta etapa solo regamos suavemente con agua cada 5 días aprox.
