~ 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: 7/9- Week FOURTEEN from seed and all I can say is... WOW!😍 I'm in 💞 with FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! This big girl, and I mean BIG, is approaching seven feet in height now and I'm hoping that she'll begin to transition into flower in the near future! Our summer weather continues to be hot, although we do get a break from the heat when we're lucky enough to get some rain which also helps mitigate the daily watering of the GG4 Sherbet FF. 7/11- Today my daily watering of the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF continues with 10g of straight well water from the garden hose. She continues to exhibit excellent vigor and resistance to pests. I have not used any Neem Oil on her for weeks now and even though I see a few leaf hoppers here and there, I see little to no damage from them.🤩👍 7/13- Today watering the GG4 Sherbet FF was postponed as it rained the better part of the day, which provided over an inch of much needed rain. 7/15- Our weather continues to be really hot with daytime temp's in the upper 90's Fahrenheit. If it does not rain I am watering everyday with 10g of well water. I will also be top dressing the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower next week in anticipation of her transitioning into flower! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Node 7 formed and started with node 8. Small issues with leaves as there appeared some spots on lower levels with a slight purple / dark green on the edges of the top leaves. Will monitor…might be genetics of excess N. Ran a clean water week. PH of water set to 6.0 - 6.5. need to start with flower nutes towards the end of week 5. Will start adding the nutes at 1/3 strength for a week (starting on 18.05/2019) and work my way up to full strength at end of week 7. Will also be adding sea grow every second week from here on. Removed some of the lower fan leaves (4). Noticed that the plant did stand still but growth started again after about day 2 or 3 after cutting leaves. Stated folding the 2 top leaves to allow more lights to lower shoots. Technique used is to roll stem so the leaf turn 90 degrees top to bottom. Recovers within 2 - 4 hours. Lifted the pots higher. Light distance 45cm. Watering less this week due to the amount given towards the end of the last week. Only sprayed water to keep the top level wet. Will start with 250ml every second day.

👌

Overall, a quiet week. Minimal LST and some light defoliation. Will be flipping here soon. Photos/video are day 43 since breaking the soil. Supervisor in last pic!

🥃 Blue Bourbon Smash • Height: 6.25” • Width: 10” • Training: Topped Monday – strong recovery • Notes: • Tight internodes • New tops emerging symmetrically Blue Bourbon Smash: Topped cleanly, strong V-split, ready for staking soon

Ho aspettato un settimana in più per avere piante circa della solita altezza,le indica si sa che sono più lente in veg,sono pronto per il flip 12/12 😈✌️🏿

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Im Vergleich zur letzten Woche ist eine klare Entwicklung zu erkennen. Die Pflanzen stehen insgesamt vitaler da, mit deutlich stärker ausgeprägten Blütenständen. Viele Budsites haben sichtbar an Volumen zugelegt, die Kelche wirken dichter und die Harzbildung hat spürbar zugenommen. Besonders bei einigen Exemplaren stechen jetzt kompaktere Colas heraus, während andere weiterhin etwas luftiger wachsen – ein typischer Unterschied zwischen den verschiedenen Genetiken. Die Farbpalette hat sich erweitert: Neben sattem Grün zeigen mehrere Pflanzen inzwischen ausgeprägte violette und rötliche Töne, vor allem an den oberen Blättern und rund um die Blüten. Bei einzelnen Pflanzen setzt zudem die natürliche Herbstfärbung ein, was sich durch gelbliche Blattpartien an älteren Blättern bemerkbar macht. Das wirkt insgesamt harmonisch und passt gut zum fortgeschrittenen Blütestadium. In der Struktur ist ebenfalls Fortschritt zu sehen. Die Blüten haben sich weiter gestapelt, Internodien erscheinen „gefüllter“ und die Pflanzen wirken insgesamt reifer. Die Höhenunterschiede zwischen den Strains sind klarer geworden: Einige wachsen weiter in die Höhe, andere konzentrieren ihre Energie nun fast vollständig auf die Verdickung der Buds. Zusammengefasst zeigt diese Woche eine deutliche Reifephase. Mehr Masse, mehr Harz, stärkere Farben und klar erkennbare Unterschiede zwischen den Strains – ein solider Schritt nach vorne im Gesamtbild. Fortsetzung folgt...💚✌️☺️

All looking frosty around day 42 of flower! Just been on water for the whole of flower! Watered with aact as well every other week but real happy with this run!

What's up guys? This week was very nice. They gained a lot of trichomes and the smell became extremely strong. Smells like a very sweet perfume. I love it and I can't wait to have a taste. I fed them the last time today. From now on they will get pure water only. See you next week!

Otra semana más Creo esta semana hoy día 27 Anunciando así el próximo día 28 inicio de esta quinta semana de floración del calendario de mis niñas,semana en la que comienzo subiendo la cantidad de comida y con ello de agua para mis niñas. En los últimos riegos de la cuarta semana fui subiendo hasta alcanzar los 1700. Las plantas mayoritariamente lo aceptaron,así que con ello subiré esta semana hasta alcanzar los 2000. No defoliaré ninguna planta Hoy ajuste la luminaria a una altura de 30cm con respecto a los 45 de la anterior semana. Esta semana pegarán un buen apretón con la subida de PK,y la ayuda de los azúcares. Seguimos con muchas lluvias y una humedad muy alta que dentro del armario se combate entre ventiladores extractor y desumificadores pasivos de sales de silicio. Que me mantienen un 35% menos de la que tengo en el exterior llegando muchos días a los 45/50% de humedad. Tengo que añadir que vivo a un kilómetro de la playa. Día 28 Di un pequeño fumigado, de agua con ajo y jabón potásico en la entrada al cuarto de cultivo. Como preventivo ante cualquier insecto que quiera acercarse atraído por el aroma. Hoy e podido ver que el último riego de 1700EC,no causó ningúna sobre fertilización apreciable en el cultivo casi nula,viendo esto en el siguiente riego subiremos a 1900Ec. Día 29 Primera impresión al abrir el armario es que había una humedad alta dentro del almario. Un 72% que una vez encendí el pequeño desumificador de 8l de casa,a mejorado a 53% Hoy compré la gama de completa de aptus. Iré añadiendo alguno de estos componentes de la fase de floración,para ver qué tal se combinan con la gama de plagron. Hoy le metí un riego de 55litros,una Ec de 1900 Sin carga de pk,desorbitada. Este riego me centro en los azúcares junto con algunos aditivos como silicio,aminoácidos,azúcares,encinas,sulfatos y manteniendo el nitrógeno en pequeña parte el potasio y el fósforo,calcio y magnesio que nunca falte en cada riego!,las lámparas están bajas y a toda potencia. Quiero en estos días conseguir mejorar con grandes empujones . Saludos compañeros! Día 30 Todo bien,todo correcto y me alegro!,buenas tardes,buenas noches. El cultivo aceptó muy bien la subida de EC 1900,esta variedad come de buena manera!. De esta manera seguiremos subiendo para ver,hasta donde llegan. Obviamente no vamos a sobrecargarlas,pero vamos a ver hasta donde llegan. El siguiente riego lo haré trabajando con pk,mineral y algunos aditivos más orgánicos-minerales. Tengo que decir que el aporte del té frío de plátano junto a la melaza le habrán venido fantástico también a las lombrices! Día 31 Todo perfecto dentro del cultivo ,veo que las 9 semanas de floración son fijas.. Un gran punto a favor,es que el clima empieza a ser más favorable a partir de este fin de semana.. Subirán más las temperaturas y las lluvias van a detenerse por unos días. Espero contar con una humedad ambiental más baja para poder seguir tranquilo con el desarrollo de las flores.

Will update throughout the harvest, drying, and curing. Great grow!!! I honestly could not have asked for a better first time growing experience. A few little bumps along the road, but nothing these ladies couldn't handle. Very citrus smell topped with a salvating creaminess. Will definitely keep this lady in mind for all future grows. Maybe at least one plant. I can't wait until I can try this girl. Thank you to Fast Buds for these awesome genetics and thank you to the Grow Diaries Cimmunity for all your help along the way. Happy Growing 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

so it's a first for me this week I try to fim the top instead of topping it and I have video and pics if anyone can let me know I got it right but beside that I trimmed up the leafs a lil and let it grow it's on like it 6th node jus waiting for it to get tall agine any tips is helpful

☘️30/11 - Empieza su segunda semana en etapa de crecimiento. ☘️Se encuentra muy fuerte y estable, creció muy rapido. ☘️Hoy esta cumpliendo 28 dias de vida desde su germinacion. ☘️Al big one lo agregue en la mezcla para regar a la planta y despues la rocíe con el mismo. ☘️Esta semana ya le agregue la red de scrog. ☘️En estos dias seguire subiendo mas imagenes de como viene. 😶‍🌫️🇦🇷☘️ Podes seguirme en Instagram como @bruweed_arg ☘️🇦🇷😶‍🌫️

OG Kush is a big plant, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, those leaves are real drama queens when it comes to humidity. The slightest dip, and they start getting all wonky. I'm thinking I might need a humidifier in there to keep things happy and healthy. Last week was awesome! I finally got around to giving all my plants a little upgrade – I repotted them into some bigger homes. They're all looking so happy and healthy now, it's crazy. I can't wait to see how much they grow this year!
