~ 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!💚😎🙏

After a weeks growth in four litre pots I defoliated them ready to go into flower. Started feeding them full strength with coir feed even though they are in soil. Looking happy so far, I'm tight on space so will keep them in check if I can as they flower.

Seems like its soon time for this baby to chop chop, been a pleasure growing this, super ressiliant against pests, mold, heat/vold stress. Grown perfeclty all the way, have been showing alot of phosphorus defficiency in the end, some dying parts turning black on leafs, quite consearning since ive never had this problem before. Then again never had a colorful plant as this either before so. Beautiful buds, coverd in crystals its beautiful really, sticky and smells deleicious, cant quite put my fingers on the terpines yet but def alot of fruityness, bit sour. Looking forward for them to ripen up, and flush has begun. See you hopefully in harvest or else another week :) crystals not cloudy yet, just a hint

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 7 Veg Report Another week down, and what a week it has been! Our Runtz ladies are thriving, pushing forward in their vegetative stage with strength, beauty, and some seriously impressive root development. This week, we officially transplanted them into the Autopots, and let me tell you—the roots are stunning. Root Health & Mycorrhizal Magic The mycorrhizal fungi have been doing their thing, and it's truly a sight to see. When transplanting, I could clearly see how beautifully the roots had colonized the medium, forming a healthy, snow-white network that fully surrounded the pot. The Aptus Holland Mycormix is once again proving itself as an absolute game-changer in root development. Strong, well-established roots mean better nutrient uptake, stronger resistance to stress, and overall improved plant health. If you’re serious about growing, this is something you don’t want to overlook. Aesthetic Update – Pink Vibes! Yes, I know, I know—the pink background is still here, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s giving the photos that extra pop, bringing out the vibrancy of the plants, and making every shot feel unique. Hope you all are enjoying these visuals as much as I am! New Home - TrolMaster Ecosystem This week also marked another major move—the plants officially transitioned into the TrolMaster Ecosystem. And guess what? They are absolutely loving it! With optimized climate control, precision automation, and a perfectly dialed-in environment, these plants are thriving under their new conditions. Current Environmental Conditions: Room Temperature: ~20°C Relative Humidity: ~67% CO2 Levels: ~1400 ppm Light Intensity (PPFD): ~300 A balanced combination of temperature, humidity, CO2, and light intensity ensures that the plants continue to grow at their full potential. The high CO2 levels combined with the moderate PPFD allow the plants to photosynthesize efficiently, maximizing growth while keeping stress minimal. Nutrient & Watering Program Right now, I’m sticking with the Aptus Holland Clean Program, which consists of: Regulator System Clean RO Water Conditioner All-in-One Liquid The water parameters are as follows: EC: 0.55 pH: 5.86 Water Temperature: 15°C (a bit cold, but still manageable) Ensuring clean, well-balanced water with optimal nutrient availability is essential for healthy root development and vigorous vegetative growth. With this setup, they are getting everything they need to flourish! Shoutouts & Thank Yous! Huge shoutout and thank you to all the amazing sponsors who help make this grow possible: Aptus Holland – Premium plant nutrition TrolMaster – Intelligent environmental control Cannakan – Precision germination & planting tools Grove Bags – Advanced curing & storage solutions Ziggi Papers – Innovation in rolling technology And of course, a massive thank you to Zamnesia, Plagron, and GrowDiaries for putting together this incredible Eternity Grow Cup! Final Thoughts Week 7 has been phenomenal—our girls are thriving, adapting beautifully to their new environment, and setting the stage for what’s to come. The next phase is going to be exciting, and I can’t wait to share every step of the journey with you all! A big thank you to the community—whether you’re watching, supporting, learning, or even just stopping by out of curiosity. Lovers or haters, you all have a place in my heart! Stay tuned for the next update and don’t forget to check out the exclusive content on Instagram and YouTube—let’s grow together!

Buenass, las Frisian Dew creo ya están para cosechar, tienen casi todos los pelos naranjas, y las flores se caen del peso, asique el lunes que viene seguro las cosecho, ayer ya las regué solo con agua, a la única que le puse agua con fertilizante es a la The Ultimate de la izquierda que esa tiene toda la pinta de que puede engordar un poco mas, detecte de forma temprana una plaga de arañas rojas, aparecieron por la baja humedad y las altas temperaturas, asique estuve cortando varias hojas que vi afectadas, y ya me encargue de bajar la temperatura (bajando el calefactor) y subir la humedad (riego en mayor cantidad), cuando revegete usaré algún producto orgánico como jabón potásico y aceite de neem para mantenerlas a raya, y si puedo incorporar mariquitas mejor (el tema es conseguirlas jeje). A la The Ultimate de la derecha solo le puse agua con un producto anti estrés, si veo que está bien en la semana capaz le mando un poco de fertilizante, pero con respecto a antes está bastante mejor, al final era un problema de PH, un amigo trajo su medidor de PH y el agua con la que riego tiene un PH de 9, asique voy a comenzar a comprar vinagre para reducir el PH del agua, pero se la bancaron bastante bien todo este tiempo, el suelo vivo ayuda bastante a regular el PH... saludos :) (Adición: la semana 19 se me subió recién cuando agregué la semana 20, se me había bugueado jeje)

Currently sitting at day 38 of flower. Forbidden Soda- Looks incredible, buds are a pinkish purple. Smell is a fruity tangerine Forbidden Dream pheno #1 - this pheno is the beat smelling and looking, started turning purple from the onset of flower, the smell is like grape soda mixed with sour patch kids. Forbidden Dream kush pheno: this was the pheno that I though hermied, it’s not possible that they were just calyxs building on the top buds. They never got bigger, didn’t release pollen, and some now have pistils thru them, but will see once harvest time. Very impressed with the forbidden Dream strain, as for the forbidden soda while it does look incredible , this was selected from 3 different 12/12 seeds where the other two were not good. The forbidden dream seems to have better phenotypes overall and buds are a lot denser..

Tag 88: Die Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds hat Spass gemacht, anzubauen. Das ich so unvorsichtig war und die Spitze abgebrochen habe, ärgert mich jetzt noch. Dafür hat sie ganz schön reagiert mit dem "Ersatzhaupttrieb". Das Nassgewicht kann man nicht ernst nehmen, ist mit einer groben Küchenmaschine gewogen, wichtiger ist, wieviel es nach der Trocknung ist. 😎

Día 22 (11/11) Las plantas muestran pequeños puntos / zonas marrones pero... Don't panic! It's Organic! Dejaré que el proceso del Super Soil de BioTabs siga su camino tal y como indica el manual de BioTabs! Ajusto LST a CBD Auto 20:1 #2 aplicando una nueva atadura a la punta, que ya se estiraba hacia arriba 24 horas después! 💥😍 La idea es NO aplicar más LST y dejarla que crezca de forma natural a partir de ahora Tal vez solo ir recolocando las ramas laterales para que no crezcan demasiado juntas, porque no quiero estresarla y que ralentice su crecimiento... Día 23 (12/11) Subo a DLI 40 Pequeños ajustes de LST en las ramas laterales a CBD Auto 20:1 #2 para crear una estructura homogenea No voy a volver a aplicar LST a la punta, voy a dejar que crezca de forma "natural" a partir de ahora El resto de plantas están creciendo muy bien! Riego con 750 ml H2O RO a CBD Auto 20:1 #2. El resto no necesitan riego Día 24 (13/11) Riego todas las plantas con 750 ml H2O RO CBD Auto 20:1 #2 se muestra sedienta y vuelve a necesitar 750 ml de H20 RO tras solo 24 horas desde el último riego! Día 25 (14/11) Pequeños ajustes de LST en CBD Auto 20:1 #2 Parece que los puntos / zonas marrones se aceleran en todas las plantas excepto en CBD Auto 20:1 #1... Día 26 (15/11) LSD-25 Auto & OG Kush Auto empiezan a mostrar muchas zonas marrones y las hojas inferiores se empiezan a retorcer... Día 27 (16/11) Riego con 1 litro de H2O RO El area técnica de BioTabs me confirma que lo que muestra las plantas es una quema de nutrientes... 😢 Su recomendación es regar SÓLO con agua la siguiente semana (hasta el día 35 por lo menos) Día 28 (17/11) LSD-25 Auto & OG Kush Auto se muestran muy afectadas por la quema de nutrientes... Una pena porque estaban creciendo muy bien hasta ahora... Después de hablar con BioTabs, parece que el error ha sido aplicar el Boom Boom Spray demasiado temprano (en día 21) cuando las plantas tenían suficiente nutrientes y acababa de añadir la 2ª (y ultima) Tab al sustrato... Tengo que seguir aprendiendo que con el SuperSoil: MENOS ES MÁS, MENOS ES MÁS! A seguir regando SOLO con agua los próximos días... CBD Auto 20:1 #2 todavia no muestra el sexo (pre-flores)... es algo extraño... 💦Nutrients by Bio Tabs - www.biotabs.nl/en/ 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en-us/products/pro-mix-hp-biofungicide-plus-mycorrhizae "GDBT420" 15% DISCOUNT code for the BIOTABS Webshop https://biotabs.nl/en/shop/

I think I was pHing wrong. My cheap digital meter isn't helping. Switching to drops shows that my run off is pH 4. I am currently doing a flush with 2 tablespoons per gallon of Hurculean Harvest pH'd to 8. Questions: 1) For the flush, do I just keep running water through all at once until the run off changes? 2) How do I save this plant? 3) When do I begin trimming? 4) How and what do I trim? 5) When do I begin Sog or Scrog training? 6) How do I flush and avoid root rot? 7) When do I switch to flowering? Grown from seed. Gold Leaf. Grow medium: Strawberry Fields. Initially germinated in Happy Frog. Light: MarsHydro 300W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum for Hydroponic Indoor Plants Growing Veg and Flower Pot: 5 gallon Smart Pot watering schedule: about every 4-7 days pH: runoff is 4. Food is pH 6. Currently doing a flush at pH 7-8 Plant in a Hongruilite Hydroponic Indoor Grow Tent Room w/Plastic Corner (32''x32''x63'').
