~ 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: 9/4- Here we go into Week 6 of flower for this epic GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower from FastBuds and she is on fire!🔥 I'm praying that our weather stays cool and dry for as long as possible for this gorgeous lady! 9/6- I have switched my watering schedule to mornings now with the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower, I want to do whatever I can to keep the nighttime moisture levels as low as possible in order to help prevent mold from forming on the flowers as they are huge and dense. I am also checking her trichomes every other day to try to dial in the ideal time to harvest her. 9/8- I'm continuing to water in the mornings on days that we do not get any substantial rain with well water via the garden hose. Today I went through the plant and removed as many old dead leaves as I could along with any shade leaves that were yellow. 9/10- I checked the GG4 Sherbet FF's trichomes today and they are getting very close, and I anticipate that she will be ready in the next few days! There's another week of flowering done for the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she is just about ready to be harvested which will, from the looks of her trichomes, will be in the next 4-5 days... I'm so excited!🤩

She has received no water after a full week I have pruned the soil early today to promote co2 for her roots. I think she is recovering her second true leaves have grown at a steady pace with no signs of deficiency I will keep her dry as long as she copes with the drought!

🎩🌈🍬

welcome to day 5 of veg and i must say she looks very good and strong. still upset i cant get voodoo juice but vitathrive is as good a replacement as i have. any questions shoot me a comment like my work hit that like button and maybe check out my other diary's stay safe and keep your stick on the ice Day 9 of veg 10/07 man she is growing fast. did the transplant today

Going into the last weeks iam very happy with my plants they´re almost too big but i love the big buds and hope they get very dense left acid dough right black domina

Day 99 07/10/24 Monday Flushing this week Using de-chlorinated tap water 10L pH 6 with Flawless finish. Seeing her finalise and ripen this week will be satisfying 😍 Watching her colours transform, she's just stunning 👌 Picture and video update 📸 Day 101 09/10/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 103 11/10/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today again pH 6. Only 1.5L Day 104 12/10/24 Saturday Another Flush today, using 10L de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with flawless finish. She really has darkened in colour now, fans showing a deep dark Purple / Black, the buds themselves are a deep dark purple, and absolutely laced with trichomes 🤤 Picture update tonight📸💚

Week 4 was great. Tried upping the water amount a bit and it worked well on 2 of the 3 plants so I´ll just stay at the same amount as before for the plant that didn´t like more water. Buds getting bigger. Also 2 of the 3 plants are gonna have a longer bloom and it shows now as you guys can see. I just hope now that they will stay healthy because I´m happy with the progress. Thanks alot again for you guys giving me tips and tricks to optimize the grow.

First week of flower growth for the older ones, younger ones are still sort of finishing stretch (4 day difference). Plants got much taller than I expected, especially the one which started out extremely weak with very messed up leaves, which is around 2 feet at the moment. I remember weeks 3 and 4 I was butthurt like “why are they so small :,(“ LOL, if only I knew. Now I’m having to actually move my light up! Past few weeks most of the new growth has been growing in with yellow tips, still haven’t figured out why. Don’t think it’s nute burn cause I’m barely pushing 800, could definitely be wrong though I’m too new to this. Otherwise they’re completely healthy, consistently standing right back up immediately after I train them whether it’s LST or even HST. Humidity is beginning to become a problem, which I was not prepared for. The paint in the closet is beginning to crack and bubble off so I will most likely have to go in there scrape it and re prime and paint it myself eventually. Ordered a small dehumidifier on Amazon because I’m on a budget, that was a mistake. It pulls about a quarter pint out per day -_- wasn’t trying to spend 150+ on a new one so I found a 25 pint on Craigslist for 40 bucks, it should work, picking it up later today. Edit: dehumidifier is up and running and works perfectly, rh now at a steady 50. Leaving on a trip for a month in December so I will unfortunately be forced to harvest at 12 weeks, really hoping they will be close to done by then. But yeah, still having fun tending to these awesome organisms!

Пришло время сбора урожая. на днях все оставшееся уберу :)

Cherry Poppers is halfway through flowering week 4. The terps are really coming alive more and more each day. The stretch phase has concluded, and the buds are becoming increasingly resinous. I'll be giving them a final application of Great White with the upcoming feeding.

Quick kush is called quick for a reason 👌, nice big indica leaves starting to grow and stretch pretty fast, i had to re pot one of the girls so one of them might look a bit sad but she will get better (its the salts) Flushing and Buffering- I am personally using Canna Coco Coir,mix with one brick of plagron coco coir(had one left). 1. Why you Should buffer your Coco. Lets get to reading! (Its Worth it for those that dont know about it) There are cation exchange sites in coco that will interfere with nutrition until they are buffered. The cation exchange sites in coco naturally come loaded with sodium (Na) and potassium (K) cations. However, the Na and the K are only weakly held to the exchange sites. In the presence of calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg), the sites will release their Na or K cations and lock onto the Ca or Mg. These processes are known as “cation exchanges”. Buffering coco is accomplished by soaking it in Ca and Mg. This allows the cation exchanges to take place prior to adding plants. Simply soak your coco in a solution of Cal/Mag water and the exchange sites will release their K and Na cations and lock onto the Ca and Mg. When the cation exchange sites bond with Ca and Mg rather than Na and K, it is “buffered”. The bonds that hold the Ca and Mg to the sites are very strong and cation exchange will largely stop. This means that all of the nutrients that you add to the water will be available to the plant at the ratios that you provide them. 2. Alot of growers Grow in Unbuffered coco coir and its a big mistake guys, I myself was a "victim"😬of unbuffered coco and it does cause alot of problems... now i am going to try and fix them! -----GROWING IN UNBUFFERED COCO--- Many growers are unaware of the need to buffer the coco and they try to grow plants in unbuffered coco. In unbuffered coco, the cation exchange sites will strip the nutrient solution of the Ca and Mg and replace those cations with Na and K. This creates a sub-optimal Nutrient Element Ratio (NER) and renders Ca and Mg unavailable to the plant. Failing to buffer the coco is why so many growers suffer calcium deficiencies in coco grows. Manufacturers of prepared coco products try to exploit these problems and convince growers that only their proprietary products are suitable for growing. However, it is actually very simple to properly buffer your coco yourself. This tutorial walks you through the process and provides all the information you need to turn even the cheapest brick of dehydrated coco into a superior growing medium. I hope i Helped out someone who didnt know about this link on how to Buffer your Coco Coir is Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQi8AMMIyyA&t=18s 14/02/2019- I Decided tp raise up the amout of nutes and im giving them 1,5 ml per L so 15 ml's for 10 L / 2 Gallons of water

------------------------------------ ~SEEDSMAN PEYOTE GORILLA~ ------------------------------------ Peyote Gorilla is a cross of Gorilla Glue #4 (Chem Sister x Chocolate Diesel) and Peyote Purple, a colorful phenotype of Bubba Kush. The potent, medicinal effect of the Gorilla meets the stimulating and uplifting high of the Peyote Purple. With a flowering time of around 70 days Peyote Gorilla has a typically Indica structure, medium-sized with large, broad leaves. Yields are exceptionally good; indoors growers can expect to yield between 500 - 650 gr/m2 while outdoors as much as 1500 gr/m2 can be realized. Resin levels are very high and this means that it is very suitable for making extracts and concentrates with. This strain's scent is sour with lemon, petrol, earthy and woody notes and these properties are reflected back in the taste. THC production is very high at between 22 - 26% with CBD at just 1%. The effect is a very potent, uplifting high which gradually evolves into a physically relaxing state that will be almost certain to ease any aches and pains. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ -Strain Characteristics- BREEDER/BRAND: Seedsman PRODUCT TYPE: Seeds THC GENETICS: Gorilla Glue #4 (Chem Sister x Chocolate Diesel) x Peyote Purple (Bubba Kush purple pheno) VARIETY: Mostly Indica FLOWERING TYPE: Photoperiod SEX: Feminized THC CONTENT: 22 - 26% CBD CONTENT: 1% YIELD: Indoor: 450-600 g/m2; Outdoor: 1500 gr/plant PLANT HEIGHT: 80-160 cm GROWS: Indoors, Outdoors FLOWERING TIME: 70 days HARVEST MONTH: September MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Fatigue, Insomnia, Pain, Stress TASTE / FLAVOR: Berry, Earthy, Fruity, Petrol, Sweet EFFECT: Euphoric, Powerful, Relaxing, Uplifting _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE SETUP: ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with de-chlorinated water with SuperThrive added then ph'd to 6.0 @ 80℉ ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pots with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g of Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g of Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Bat Guano, 3/4 cup of Down To Earth Azomite and 1 tsp/g Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal. ~24hr light cycle during Germination / 19/5 light cycle for Vegetation and 12/12 for Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 9/27- Week Seven of flower here we go! She's looking good to go with her flowers stacking and her trichome production continuing to coat her flowers! Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her half through her drip pan (bottom chuggin), the remainder trough the medium. I also gave her pot a 1/4 turn. 9/29- Yesterday I didn't water her, only turned her pot and checked her over... Wow! She's really ramping up the trichomes making her flowers look like their sugar coated! 🤩 I watered her today with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water with 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses added which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 72℉. The molasses will give the microbial colony some additional food as well as supplying micro-nutrients to the plant. I finished out the daily maintenance giving her a check over and turning her pot 1/4 turn to ensure she gets light to every inch of her. 10/1- Yesterday was a 'no water' day as her pot was still fairly heavy to lift. Today she was watered with her usual of 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. Her flowering continues to impress me with her trichome production covering her flowers with 'frost' she's a sight for sore eye's! 😍 The end of next week we'll be getting close to her wrapping up with the 'Finish Line' approaching by Week 10, but it will all depend on when she tells me that she's ready to go! 10/3- With Week Seven coming to a close we're going into that last 3 +/- weeks for this 'Frost Queen' and she's looking like a Rock Star covered in bling! 🤩 I watered heavy yesterday and added 1 tsp/g of Unsulfured Molasses to the 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was then ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉. Her pot had some weight to it when I checked today so I'll skip watering her until tomorrow. I finished up today by checking her over and giving her pot a turn. ~Thanks for stopping in! This epic run will be wrapping up in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

Welcome back growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre! 👽🌳💚 Week 8F begins for the ladies of the 4x8, last round of feeding before the flush. LSD has gone crazy over the last week, insane bulk-up in her buds, from top to bottom, in by the stock and out to the tips, she's just bulky, dense, sticky, frosty and incredible! By far, the best looking results from any of my LSD grows. Green Crack also looks incredible and the rest of the ladies, while doing awesome, will be their final grow in my garden. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode! 👽🌳💚

Hey everyone 🤗. This week was harvested properly 😍. All of them are harvested, except for the two Tropicanna Banana (they will be on tomorrow). All finished crop images follow little by little as soon as they have dried enough and have got their actual bud structure 😃. I wish you much fun with the diary, stay healthy Ges and let it grow 🌱

22/06/2022 - Day 58 Gorilla Girls🦍 are almost ready. # 1 has already been a week with only BioBoost and RIPEN. # 2 started with Boost 4 days ago, now I wait for the soil to dry and then wash in the tank.🛁 The Gelato Girls 🍦are still a little behind in maturation (especially # 2, due to folding). She will start with Boost and RIPEN with # 1 from the next watering🚿, while continuing with Flores and Boost for # 2.🌱 26/06/2022 - Day 61 Gorilla Girls 🦍 are ready for flushing in the bathtub.🛁 Then I will wait for the soil to dry and then I will cut.✂️ Gelato Girls 🍦 are still a bit missing. # 1 has moved to Boost + RIPEN , # 2 is still in the previous nutrient phase. It will switch to Boost + RIPEN next week.
