~ 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: 6/7- Well, here we go into Week Ten from seed for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and I have to say she's really beginning to look like she will be a beautiful example of this strain! 6/9- Our weather is beautiful now with daytime high temp's in the 80's F without a lot of rain so I am watering her daily at sundown with approximately 3-5g of well water straight from the garden hose. 6/11- The FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF continues to sprout new growth daily now, and I have been training her branches throughout the trellis net. I was going to install a second trellis net, but decided to just use the single net and do some HST on her to keep her canopy opened up. 6/13- I gave the GG4 Sherbet FF a good watering today at sundown via the garden hose with straight well water. I am planning on top dressing her in roughly 7-10 days from now with a blend of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with some worm castings in anticipation of the start of flowering in the near future. There's another week chalked up and it won't be long until the real excitment begins when this lady begins to go into flower! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

papaya cookies has now completed her stretch. typical for papaya, she develops purple/pink pistils. such a beauty. hopefully the weather will stay good enough for her bulk.

After three weeks in the solo cups I transplanted to 1 gallon pots and three days later I noticed yellowing on one of the plants so in 16oz of water I mixed in 1/4 tsp of Epsom salt and gave it to both plants in fear of magnesium deficiency but the other plant is thriving and growing strong.

2020-10-21 I had so much fun with FREAKSHOW, from Day one they were looking sooooooooo Funny and freaky Plants smelled quite early, in early vgetation they started. with lovely scents They were growing very tall Like 160 cm, and then they developed Buds like Cotton Blooms absloutely Eyecatching ( and the smell!!!!!!) wohoo😱 Plant itself dont needs much, out of good waterings and Love. very less fertiliser I cut 2 clones of her , to have always some " Freakshow" at home.

estas pequeñas sorprendieron con la prdoduccion de resina que dieron 22 gramos aprox y 19 cada planta

Mar 28th - plants have been moved into 1 gal pots - gently watered-in the plants to get them through the transplant - DynoMyco was sprinkled into the 1 gallon pots ahead of the transfer, and the Solo Cups Root-Ball, was also sprinkled with Myco, making sure any exposed roots made good contact Mar 29th - a watering program begins tonight, Its posted above, next on 31st (day 3) - p.m. feeding saw 400 ml h20 per plant. (First Official feeding and there is no containment for any water leaving the pots… i held-back 100ml ea. just to see if the Pots leaked… all good for now x 30) Mar 31 - day 3 of the watering cycle; 350ml tonight (posted above) - petals are big enough on the true leaves; foliar spray @ lites-out - measured Soil pH, found it to be 7.1; Future waterings will be ~ 6.2-6.3 to help bring the soil pH a little lower towards mid 6’s Apr 4 - watering tonight ~ 250ml ea - topped-up the Soil in each Pot. Maximizing the Root Zone this whole grow

******** Week 10 - Feb 10 to 16/20 (Days 64 - 70 from seed popping out) It’s flush week so not much to update really. This week you anticipate the outcome with great hopes and also think about missed opportunities......no different here 😂 😂 😂 Last feed given last week. First good flush and finishing agent used this week. Gave her Flawless Finish in the morning and 8 hours later flushed her with 8L of RO water. Given she has been very green and tips were burnt a fair bit, I used Flawless Finish to flush the medium. The medium is pretty good with going into the week in mid 300’s ppm. Seeing nice amount of orange in her and the bud is a nice light colour right now as well. She squished out bud very well over the weekend and has swelled quite a bit. She is getting fat and happy.......putting on the weight and frost this week girl!! Dropped the night temps to 60 degrees and the humidity to roughly 40% at night. Stripped more of her leaves and down to just bud, haha. Some are still left where I don’t want to remove the leaves for fear of bruising the bud trying to get it off. 😧 Sweet Seeds is impressing me on this girl with her growth. More trimming earlier on in the grow and she would have filled out all of those colas. The dry and cure are next on the radar very soon and I am sure she will continue impress there as well. Her frost is coming on quite well so expect it be in the high teens anyway for THC. Yup......keep her on the radar again for a seed sale😳👍 Little more detail: Feb 10/20 - Day 64 - Flushed with agent in late morning. - 2L Flawless Finish @ 2ml/L = 125ppm and 6.1pH - Flushed with plain water in evening. - 6L plain water, 20ppm and 5.8pH. - 2L plain water with Rezin & Liquid Weight, 100ppm and 5.8pH - runoff water was 200ppm and 6.1pH. - The agent seemed to have cleaned up the medium a fair bit and things look in good shape. - Some fox tails forming but the colour is lightening and buds are swelling. Feb 11/20 - Day 65 - pot is light. - 2L water with Rezin & LW8 = 100ppm and 5.7pH. Feb 12/20 - Day 66 - 2L water with Rezin & LW8 = 80ppm and 5.95pH. - fattening and swelling nicely. Feb 13/20 - Day 67 - 2L water with Rezin & LW8 = 90ppm and 6.15pH. - More red hairs forming. Feb 14/20 - Day 68 - pot still had some weight. - day out day. Feb 15/20 - Day 69 - 3L water with Rezin & LW8 = 100ppm and 6.1pH. - cleaves getting lighter green. - Bud looking more “white” in appearance at a distance. Feb 16/20 - Day 70 - 3L water with Rezin & LW8 = 100ppm and 6.0pH. - brought down temps further to 73 degrees and humidity at daytime max of 50%. Have a great week all and may your gardens be full of colour and shine!!🙏

Took well too last weeks flush. 💧 Did some defoliating to allow light deeper into the canopy. ☀️ Putting back on recommended strength nutes.💉

Valió la pena totalmente, muy agradable al fumar 😍

Res change at day 29. Have to lower nitrogen a bit cause its clawing and pretty dark. Otherways everything is just fine and it grows nice. Ad calmag 5ml to 20L.

👉this is week start of week 8 and the switch to the 12/12 schedule. the plant is on the 6th week on the GH nutrient chart for its flora series drain to waste schedule.This is considered early bloom and the only difference from the transition nutrients is the reduction of FloraGrow and addition of Liquid KoolBloom. The water I use is RO water from a medical grade industrial machine (not on site). Its conductivity is .04ms. Its 98.5% pure water. I believe this is helping me mix my nutrients at full strength and achieve the middle to upper end of the recommended ec range. The volume of plant uptake has increased quite alot. I am averaging 2 liters two times a day, but as the week progressed a couple of high flow fertigations were needed to keep the run off below +30ms. I feed my Marigold plant the run-off after Ive measured it. The fertigation station is in a closet in another room and doorways wipe my memory so I fed 99 the runoff a couple days ago (9-16). So I fertigated 1.5 liter immediately. That runoff was close to 30+. The lights were going out so the next morning i fertigated with 4liters. That runoff was +10. That night was 2liters w/.9 liter runoff +10. I plant on keeping the flow a little high to help prevent any nutrient deficiencies while its doing the early flowering stretch. 👉The plant is lush and green and growing as a nice round bush. Stout main stalk and is 21". I began plucking lower leaves that were reducing airflow around the base. These could pose a mildew risk if left on because they are in contact with the pot and reducing airflow across the top of the media. They were shaded now by the expanding branches above so it was time to remove them. I like to take leaves gradually, one or two per fertigation event. I also have taken off the bottom 3 branches. They were healthy and had plenty of potential bud sites...but they would be in the shade and never meet the potential of the upper buds. I may take two more low branches, but I will keep them if they keep stretching outward and upwards and stay in the direct light. When they start flowering full time I will have removed as many of the potential larf bud nodes on the interior of each branch. Nothing extreme, just the basic lollipop on the bottom and reducing larf production up top. 👉I am using a cordless work light to make the pictures better. My phone camera flash isnt bright enough to over come the LED blurple and the addition of the very bright work light makes the picture way better. As you can see I will still be taking some of the pix with the LEDs on, but also use the camera flash and the work light and that helps bring out the green better. But lights out show a more detailed realistic image and I will include more pix this way. 👉Switching to 12/12 has been a challenge. I work varied hours and making it home before lights out is hit and miss. Also being a stoner I forget stuff if I get distracted by a movie, a sporting event or a shiny object, so visits to the tent during dark times will happen. I have green lights installed in the room and in the hallway. I have a good headlamp with green LEDs. I missed the first day and had to fertigate after hours...sigh. I took pictures with the green light on but no flash.

What a beautiful week as the ladies continue to pack on flower

Another warm week of flowering down and the smell has developed into dirty socks dipped in citrus! Bumped up the nutes a little bit more for this week. Trichs are looking great. The sugar leaves are darkening up well.

Week 15 - unstoppable growth! My measuring stick is at its end. It only reaches 180cm and we are above that. It's getting hard to reach and prune the top but I'm not giving up. Temp is stable, humidity at a nice level, lots of sunshine. This summer is really something. But we had a huge storm. Nothing a little tape cant fix. One of the early branches broke off, but my net caught it and with a little tape it's as good as new

Plants aren’t doing so well indoors, cold root temps, nutrients are being locked out, soil looks compacted and fungus gnats are still a problem.

Everything is looking good. Slight bit of nutrient burn on most leaves so i have added plain ph'ed water to reservoir to lower the amount of nutrients running at 789ppm after.
