~ 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!💚😎🙏

Welcome growfessors to my outdoor 2021 grow! It's been 4 years since my last outdoor grow. We've got LSD and Green Crack outside, each one in half a 55 gallon container, in pro-mix HP, with Gaia Green 4-4-4 all purpose powder nutrients. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚

The growth is going quite well this week. I've selected the 3 best plants (one of each strain) for the final pots transplants. The Blackberry Cake is a bit late compared to the other ones but it keeps growing and the roots look good. I moved a bit the light away from the plants because they seemed to be slightly light burned. I also started the fan (when the light is ON), and set the dehumidifier to 65%. Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Blackberry Cake : 8cm Jack Herer : 14cm Cashew Kush : 14,5cm

Week 7 - -Overdrive added -Nugs are weighing the branches down even more - using support from sidewalls of tent -Trichombs are about 20-30% cloudy right now - some browning -Some slight nitro deficiency which was fixed by adding nutes -500ish PPM -5.6-6.2 PH -Warm+Cold days in bay area. Tent is 75-88F. Out door temps are 55-75F -Nugs are huge and almost the size of baseballs. Use a 1 GALLON bottle which seems small vs. nugs

Week 17 Fastbuds Cream Cookies 180 watt LED Coco Flushy flushy!! 🇨🇦🤗🌴👌👍🙏👊

Blütewoche 7: Nachdem ich den Großteil meiner Frustration über den Fehlschlag verarbeitet hatte, entschied ich mich dazu den Plan doch nochmal zu überdenken und separierte die gezwitterte Übeltäterin ins leere Nebenzelt um diese schonmal auf die letzte Reise zu schicken. Wie man auf den Bildern erkennen kann kontrollierte ich die Pflanzen an Tag 100 noch einmal genaustens auf Pollensäcke. Diese ließen auch nicht all zu lange auf sich warten und es waren doch mehr als gedacht. Aber als ich mir die Terpene anschaute und feststellte, dass der Großteil schon milchig ist und die Pflanze im Vergleich zur ChocolateHaze beispielsweise von Samen wirklich verschont ausschaut, stellte ich mir folgende Frage.. Ist es unter diesen Umständen nicht sinnvoller , die Pflanze zu nehmen wie sie ist und dafür das Risiko zu minimiere nur noch mehr Samen zu züchten? Natürlich würde ich sie lieber noch 2 Wochen in Blüte lassen, aber wer weiß wie viel Müsli in 2 Wochen nachkommen können.. Ich will es nicht herausfinden 😒😅 Also bereitete ich einen letztzen Trank zu, welcher der Pflanze für die kommenden Tage etwas " beruhigen " sollte. - To be Continued -

So the bud pretty much matched the size of the pot! Super tiny grow at 80ml of soil! Pretty frosty and dense considering the size of the pot! Smells like lemon too! Just chopped her down and will have a harvest report on my assuming 4 grams of dried bud! Fun tiny grow! ✌️💚🌿💨

Hey guys, I'm finally back with the true smoke report of this Skywalker OG Gelato Auto! This has been a wonderful experience growing this cultivar from Ganja Farmer Seeds. She's rocking a beautiful hard to describe aroma. Saying that she smells like sweet flowery berrys with earthy backtones won't describe how wonderful she smells and tastes. After a long 14 day dry and 30 plus day cure, she is leaving some sweet earthy tastes on the palette. Also, she formed some pretty dense buds that are pretty caked and I'm really happy with the end result. Thank you Ganja Farmer for hitting us with some really good genetics 👊😁💨

Week went smoothly cant complain....cutting are doing well also took 4 cutting of seed(think it's from applelicious) they already rooted n transplanted going to veg for a lil n send to flower to see if it's worth

ROYAL QUEEN CBG AUTO ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS Week #7 Overall Week #2 Flower This week she had tremendous bud growth her buds have white hairs all over them she's a interesting looking plant. Stay Growing for your loved ones with health issues!! Stay Growing!! Royal Queen Seeds Royal Queen CBG Auto

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Started flushing, not long now before she gets the chop

Week 1-3 250watt metal halide Week 4-13 250 watt hps 5 gallon living soil in fabric pot Red clover living green mulch Alfalfa sprouted seed tea (seedling stage) Spinach fermented plant juice ( during vegetative) Calcium phosphate from charred bones ( added during transition to flower) Lacto bacillus (once every 4 weeks) Fermented fish amino acids (during early flower) Top dressed with gaia green powerbloom. (Early flower) I decided to top this plant really last minute 10 days in to flower( yeah I know, probably not the best idea) and it didn't even phase this girl at all. What I learned this grow: Some plants smell more than others( by a lot). Use a filter even when venting outside. The Green mulch was nice until I wanted to top dress. Need to find another form of mulch that I can move. Lay off all the additives a bit. Not sure if any of the things I added really did anything but I like to experiment, and she took it well. I will definately be growing this sexy little plant again💚

Week 4 plants have made alot growth with dark rich green leaves.. have not had any nutrient deficiency pop up, these plants are amazing Im impressed with the resilience of it… defoliated 2x once at the start of week 4 an end of week 4 they quickly had new growth… I accidentally snapped a stem while lst barely holding on on one side an within 24hrs it had completely healed with a small scar.. probably gonna veg for one week … excited for this progress!!!

Hello everyone, Been busy but I shoot a little video for yall to see, also if growing is something you guys intended to do, I suggest you guys get yourselves a Digital Microscope or a jewlers loop. I just got myself a Digital Microscope for under $20.00 on Walmart.com, I got me a cheap one to start with so I can learn how to use it properly. But for under $20.00 this one brings 8 led lights, a adjustable mount, comes with 3 different connection choices build in, magnifies from 50-1000x, can take pictures and also videos and my favorite part, it connects right to my mobile device, you download and install a Google app and your ready to go, ill work with it and add pictures next week... See you guys soon 👊👊👊

The stretch continues, grew another 5", looking good. Plant seems fine and all is well. Will do a defoliation the end of the week. Cheers

Better week this week Gave another topping and a very little defoliation Still have thrip but hopefully by me killing what i see daily and some help from Dorothy we can do this 👊 Check out the vid Dorothy walks straight over a thrip 🤦‍♂️🏼 Maybe shes full 🤷‍♂️🏼 HAPPY GROWING AND GOODLUCK 🌱😎👊👍✌️

This was a simple grow. She uses more cal-mag than anything I have grown before. Likes small doses of nutrients and reacts well to training. Will update when she is dried and ready to jar!

7 Blüte Woche Tag:73 Es kann sich nur noch um 3-4 Tage handeln bis die Mrs. Glue Gelato erntereif ist. Die Trichome sind jetzt alle wolkig, ein paar Bernsteinfarben. Die Buds sind in den letzten Tagen noch kompakter geworden und haben an Volumen zugelegt. Der ganze grow room riecht fruchtig süß🍊🍋🍍🍭🍰. Ich denke mit 76 Tagen müsste die Lady zufrieden sein dann wird gehackt. Ich bin mit dem ganzen Verlauf wie die Glue Gelato gewachsen ist hoch zufrieden. Sie fällt einem sofort ins Auge, selbst wenn sie zwischen zahlreichen anderen Schönheiten steht. Sie hat ein besonderes Aussehen das einem sofort auffällt, die schokoladige Farbe und dann die stacheligen Stigmen, als würden sich zahlreiche Wespen in den Blütenkelchen tummeln. Auch hat sie ein besonderen Terpen Geruch, von dem ich sehr angenehm angetan bin. Ich bin auf die Verkostung gespannt, ich hoffe sie schmeckt wie sie riecht. Ich danke euch für eure Unterstützung und werde euch auf den Laufenden halten. Ich wünsche allen meinen Kollegen ein Glückliches Wachstum und reichliche Ernten.
