~ 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: 5/23- Week three from seed and the second week of veg for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and she's doing surprisingly well considering the crappy weather, and being eaten like a salad by slugs and a rabbit! 5/25- The diatomaceous earth that I spread around her seems to have lessened the attacks on her leaves. I've also been spraying her down every other day with Neem Oil, and every three days with an organic insecticidal soap that I'm sure has helped as well. I watered the Papaya Sherbet today via garden hose and began to train her branches a bit as well. 5/27- The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet continues to do exceptionally well with great color and vigor, putting out new growth it seems daily. 5/29- There's three weeks on the books for this little lady and I'm looking forward to see what she'll look like in the coming weeks! I will have to top dress her soon, probably in the next few days. I haven't added any dry amendments to her since I initially amended her soil and she's a hungry girl... Hope to see you next week, stay Blessed! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE 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... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF 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: 8/13- Week Two of flower is here for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF, and I must say how thoroughly impressed I am so far with this strain! It has withstood attacks by insects (leaf hoppers and Japanese Beatles), intense heat and humidity (110℉ heat indexes with 90+% RH) and multiple splits of two of her main branches at the trunk, and yet has grown into the 'Beast from the East' reaching over EIGHT feet in height and spreading her branches out to an enormous SIX foot diameter! Our weather has cooled off after last weeks tropical system passed and it's nice to have a much needed break from the heat and humidity! 8/15- I am continuing to water daily with 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. Today, I top dressed the Wedding Cheesecake FF with 3 cups of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom which I watered in with well water from the hose. I then applied 1/2 gallon of a nutrient mix I made up in 2 1/2g of well water consisting of: 1/4 cup Neptune's Harvest Seaweed(kelp) plant food and 2 1/2 tsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss. While I was under the canopy I also removed a bunch of scraggly small, thin branches that were anywhere from 12" to 20" long and would never had amounted to anything worthwhile. 8/17- We had a couple of passing light rain showers today which didn't provide a lot of rain so I went ahead and watered the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower with approximately 5g of well water just to make sure that she didn't get thirsty. 8/19- Thunderstorms yesterday and today have taken care of my watering duties and all I really had to do today is to remove some yellowed and dead leaves throughout the canopy. There's the second week of flower on the books for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and I anticipate that she'll really start to take off in the next week or two so hold on, this could be a wild ride!🤯 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

11.01. day 105 Blüte 63 . Chop. Schwere Arme voller Knospen. Definitiv. Mit dem Gewicht bin ich schonmal zufrieden. Eine Woche trocknen, dann gibt's den Ernte-Bericht. Mit smoke Review. Zur Ernte selbst: Yep, alles in Ordnung. Überraschend war sie gar nicht crispy. Na klar ein paar Blätter, aber der Rest und vor allem die Knospen waren aber schön saftig. Harzig nicht sehr klebend, denn diese Trichome sind so hart, das sie abbrechen. Ob das gut ist? Ja. Begründung: da ist weniger Wasser, mehr Harz dein. Nur frisches Harz klebt. Schaut euch nen Baum an. Altes Harz kann Mann heraus schlagen, fast so hart wie Glas. Bei frischen kleben die Finger. Macht's trotzdem, das riecht super. Aber nicht an den Klamotten abwischen. Die sind sonst ruiniert. Zum Geruch: Äh überraschenderweise ziemlich zurückhaltend, aber ich habe auch keine der Knospen geöffnet. Wahrscheinlich wird der Geruch von diesen Trichomen, die sehr eng beieinander sitzen eingeschlossen. Meine Tendenz liegt ohne Rauchbericht bei 9 Punkten. Pflanze gut, Buds gut, Jetzt noch Geschmack... 12.01. Oh, das hatte ich vergessen zu erwähnen. Dieser Grow lief unter verschärften Bedingungen. Stealth mit wenig Frischluft. Sie hat eine Invasion von Spinnmilben abgewehrt, durch ne andere Pflanze übertragen. Later: ich habe ne Knospe geknackt. Erst dran gerieben. Es roch nach Heu. Ungläubig und etwas Enttäuscht knackte ich ne Knospe. Puff, wie in einer Wolke aus Duft. Oh, das Riecht aber stark, und gut. Das habe ich nicht erwartet nach dem äußeren Geruch. Definitiv keine Geruchs Stealth Sorte. Eher HALLO NACHBARN MEIN NAME IST CANDY RAIN. OH😳 So heftig? Ja. Der Geruch ist schwerlich zu beschreiben. Ungefähr so: erdig mentholig mit keine Ahnung gelato Haschisch Aromen? Nicht unangenehm aber überraschend stark und ausgeprägt. Das habe ich so nicht erwartet. Aber wer lesen kann, es folgt ein original Auszug Wenn Du Cannabis mit köstlich fruchtigen Düften und Aromen sowie einem ordentlichen THC-Kick magst, hast Du mit Candy Rain einen neuen Favoriten gefunden. So ist es. 13.11. Was ich total gut finde, Es machen die ja Grad mehrere. Alle die Toll geworden sind sehen sich sehr ähnlich. Wie eineiige Zwillinge. Und von denen sieht meine Pflanze am härtesten rann genommen aus. ( Mann könnte auch sagen beschissen gepflegt sieht sie aus, aber das stimmt nicht. Die wollte einfach Krass sein. ) Ne Chance aufs gewinnen habe ich nur wenn die anderen Knospen nicht beim (harte Schale) knacken plötzlich in einer ziemlich heftigen Duft Wolke hängen. Wie ne Nebelgranate bei aktuellen shootern ( Games ). ( Kurz überleg ) ne eher wie ne flashbang. Puff, Alles riecht. Und ich habe noch nicht getestet. Das sind nur Impressionen, von ihr als Grower. ( Nein Leute ihr merkt es vielleicht, ich bin von diesem "Puff" schwer beeindruckt. Hatte ich noch nie. Ist heftig gewesen. Das Gegenteil von Dezent. Ich höre jetzt auf zu schreiben, warte auf das trocknen und melde mich dann mit Photos und nem Rauchbericht zurück) 17.01. Pre smoke Impressionen. 1. Nochmal machen, ansetzen 2. Nix machen beim smoken. 3. Ich bin so Fett das ich gerade ein Schlachtschiff im Hafen nicht finden würde. 4. 😍👍🤗😀😄😃😀 5. Der Geschmack ist jetzt schon vollmundig zitronig würzig lecker. 6.Ein Recht starker ( Nene, doch ), und das ist mir ganz wichtig "Angenehmer Turn". Voller Enthusiasmus machst du Dinge. Im Sitzen. Kein couch lock, eher so entspannend. Rauchst du mehr, oder größer werden die Augen immer kleiner. Dein Atem wird ruhiger. Wie eine Sanfte Brise kommt die Müdigkeit. Atmest du sie ein, begrüßt du sie sogar, Kommt ein süßer Schlaf. Aber Sanft fragt er. .. Einmal schütteln wie ein Hund, bumm bist du wach, und merkst, Oh doch couch Lock. Ähem aber nur bei großen . Bei normalem Konsum einfach nur Nett. Indica lastig und interessant. 7. Langer angenehmer Turn. 8. Jetzt bekomme ich Hunger. 9. Nicht online zocken. Gar nichts. Bei Shootern geht das aim fail. Bei Strategie Spielen macht Mann plötzlich soo doofe Fehler. Selbst bei Wow ( World of warships ) vergisst Mann plötzlich das vor einem nen Gegner ist. Nen SCHXXXX DICKES SCHLACHTSCHIFF. Übersehen auf einmal. ..... Nen Schlachtschiff.... Vergessen. Kurz darauf schaute ich auf mein versinkendes Schiff.... 10. Ich hoffe der Rauchbericht ist in Ordnung. Das sind meine Impressionen von CANDY RAIN. Macht Spaß 18.01. Im Trocknungszelt : noch nicht ganz trocken, aber süß am Riechen 😍..

ritical Purple Kush was harvested on day 65 of flowering. This plant was a joy to grow, with no major issues throughout the cycle. The buds are dense, beautifully colored, and carry a delightful sweet, earthy aroma with citrus undertones. Can't wait to see how it cures—it promises to be an exceptional smoke!

Week 12 and we're still not there yet! However, the ladies are growing thicker every week. #2 & #3 are growing so thick, they can barely support the weight of their own buds. Really have to be careful when handling them, the risk of snapping a branch by accident is way too high right now. The reason for that is probably due to the crowded space in the growbox, in which there isn't much airflow despite having the little fan running nonstop when the light is on. Looking at the trichomes they can all take a few more weeks, just have to be patient now! This is plant #1/3. Still thickening slower than the other ones, but she's pretty fine otherwise!

Auto Opium went outside on 7/19 because she grew to 46 inches. This past week has been rainy so I only got to feed once. I top dressed all gals with Bloom Soil. She is in 3 gal air pot and has already consumed all nutrients in the soil and has proven to be a hungry girl. Pics were taken on Friday and Saturday. Wow the amount of yellow leaves in one day. She had another growth spurt and is 53 inches tall. Her sister photo opium is 72 inches from t the pot. Her buds are forming nicely with some slight smell if I get close.

Week 2 has gone just as well as I'd like it too! I had an accident during the week where I had dropped a sticky bug trap on one of my girls, this led to me accidentally ripping off a fan leaf and a half, but she seems to have come out of it just fine! (Thankfully). I have been feeding 1/3 strength nutes the past few feeds, stepping it up from 1/4. I will be watering until I see runoff from now on to prevent nutrients from building up in the coco. Update(day 15, 4/12/20) Today I purchased a new oscillating fan, co2 bags and a new hygrometer that hooks up to my phone and shows me stats. The girls have been putting in a lot of work over the past 24 hours. I also had a Purple Punch photo seed sprout today which I may be turning into a mother plant. I will be starting a diary for this girl too. Update (Day 16 5/12/20) Second purple punch photo popped today, going to keep 1 inside and give the other to my mom to take care of. The girls got their first 1/4 dose of calmag today fed at 6ph due to all the nutrients settling there.( I do have ph +/- but I'm going to try run this whole grow at 5.8-6.2. Update (Day 17 6/12/20) Plants seem happy today. Fan leaves producing a the pre-existing nodes are starting to shoot out quite rapidly. Unfortunately, my streets power went out today for ~90 minutes, I opened the tent, windows and doors to get any light in I could, thankfully the power came back on shortly after. I fed the girls today with very little run-off(I'm trying to perfect the amount of water they need). Update (Day 18 7/12/20) The girls have jumped up over night! I wont be feeding today as I'd like the coco to dry out quite a bit more. Update (Day 19 8/12/20 Gave the girls a small feed today with very little run-off Everything seems to be going well so far, I'm very thankful! Update (day 20 9/12/20) Everything is going pretty well today. I will not be feeding as the increased humidity has kept the coco more moist than usual. Will be feeding full strength nutes tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by, HMU with any questions or tips you have.
