~ 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:
5/31- Week 4 from seed and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is doing a lot better now that she's going through a growth spurt!
The leaf chewing has mostly subsided now since I have been spraying Neem Oil on her every 2-3 days. She's also beginning to increase in height about an inch per day now and has great color and vigor.
6/2- Yesterday I top dressed the Papaya Sherbet with 2 cups of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 1 cup of Down to Earth Bio Fish along with 1/2 gallon of worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments into the soil by hand, I watered it in via garden hose with straight well water.
6/4- It rained hard yesterday, so I skipped watering the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo today as the ground was still pretty wet.
6/6- The last two days have been sunny and warm so I watered the Papaya Sherbet photo with straight well water from the garden hose today.
Another week gone by for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and I'm looking forward to next week, as well as the weeks that will follow to see how this lady progresses!
Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Time flies, we have arrived in a flash at day 16, it seems like the other day that the first young ladies were appearing on September 1st. "Do you remember.....nanannana Septermber"
She is the Runtz and among the Zamnesia strains she is a diamond tip. I have grown her in all versions and she has always been super, I can only advise you to try her. The two Runtz are growing very balanced, the internodal distance is medium and regular like the growth, we have no leaps or stretching, she is a very proportionate plant. She is also slightly, very but very slightly under fertilized because I went too slow. Follow the table, especially if you make the personalized one from Plagron, you can't go wrong.
--- feeding program - As I mentioned I was shy about fertilizing and the plants are slightly, very slightly faded, let's learn to notice these small signs and with the normal doses after two or three waterings we should be fine. You have to look at the plants guys.
- Power Roots - 1ml/l
- Alga Grow - 2 ml/l (instead of 4 ml/l I made this mistake)
- Pure Zym - 1 ml/l
- Sugar Royal - 1ml/l
- Vita Race - 0,5 ml/l
- The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html We are giving a lot of humidity with a humidifier and we oscillate between 65% and 70%.
// Strain Description // Guys, we have really reached a turning point! Our breeders have recreated one of the most sought-after strains by Californians: the very powerful and exquisitely delicious Runtz. This cross between Gelato and Zkittlez is everything you could want from a cannabis strain: tasty, powerful, balanced, productive and fast flowering. Buy the seeds and try it yourself!

Had some issues, she got too big for her 5 gallon pot. Her roots were poking out of the bottom of the fabric. Had to transplant and prune the roots. Now she’s in a 20 gallon and she’s being flipped to flower. As you see she bounced back just fine.

⭐ TrolMaster tracking ⭐
I started to track my crop during week 15, when I got the Tent-X TCS-1 by TrolMaster. First impression was: this is too professional for me, I can't handle setting it up and using it well. Then I started reading some posts on Instagram, I visited their site and in 5 minutes my cultivation experience took a huge step forward with disarming simplicity, I couldn't believe it.
I have uploaded tracking videos from the TrolMaster app for each week from the 15th to the 19th, as well as the two weeks of drying stage.
⭐ Controller Chronicles ⭐
Day after day I appreciated the clarity and precision for data, access to all settings and instant readings by connecting a WIFI router to the controller's LAN port. I loved the possibility to dim my lamps remotely, or even automatically based on the temperature in the box!
🌱 GERMINATION (2 days)
Seeds in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 10 hours, then in root riots and under the lamp. They sprouted after 48 hours from dry seed.
🌿 GROWING STAGE (10 weeks and half)
I decided to give these plants a long vegetative growth and this allowed me to do a lot of training on both.
Starting from the 4th veg week I started with defoliation sessions every two weeks, for a total of four during the entire vegetative phase. The last defoliation was done a couple of days before the switch, in order to allow the lower parts of the plant to get as much light as possible.
Furthermore I did Topping on week 6, cutting the apical branch, then on week 8 I did Topping again on several sites, as well as SuperCropping on the highest branches to make the canopy uniform.
The light cycle I used is 18/6 and the last two veg weeks I lowered the light hours to 16/8 first and 14/10 then.
During the veg stage I made 4 DWC change, PH was always between 5.5 and 6, about EC I started with 0.6 and was 1.4 on the last veg week.
🌸 FLOWERING STAGE (9 weeks)
I started this phase after 36 hours of darkness, I then changed the DWCs solution (adding a flowering stimulator).
Then I mounted the ScrOG-net about 50 cm from the base of the plants and I wove the phenotype #1 through the net occupying at least 60% of the available space; the phenotype #2 stretched shortly after the switch and I used the net only to widen the central branches.
They showed the pre-flowers two weeks after the switch, then I made two defoliations on week 3 and 5 flo.
During the last four weeks of flowering (weeks 6-9) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values under control and this also thanks to the Tent-X controller by TrolMaster which allows me to provide optimal conditions also above.
I chopped them when trichomes were about 85% milky and 15% amber.
During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.8 and 6.2, about EC I started with 2 and was 2.3 on the last week before flush.
✅ HARVEST
- From dry seed to harvest: 140 days (2 days germination + 75 days veg + 63 days flo).
- Chopped after 4 days flush and 48 hours in dark;
- Wet trim, removed fan leaves.
✅ DRYING STAGE
- Time: 14 days;
- Average: 20° C - 50% RH.
- After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves.
⚖️ DRY WEIGHT
- Phenotype #1: 230 gr buds + 25 gr larf;
- Phenotype #2: 105 gr buds + 50 gr larf.
So, the overall dry weight is: 335 gr buds + 75 gr larf.
✅ CURING STAGE
- Curing is done after 30 days with Boveda 62%.

La planta ha tenido un muy buen desarrollo esta última semana, ha crecido de manera favorable ya solo es esperar a tener el espacio para su floración así que la dejaremos otra semana en vegetativo, aparte de eso no hay mucho que decir las plagas están a raya y se ve en perfectas condiciones desde sus hojas hasta los tallos

She has responded superbly to low stress training and topping & i defoliated her aswell and seems didn't even notice 😎
Wish you all a good day and happy growing 😁

Another week closer. Big boy is fading fast, starting flushing today from a separate reservoir with this one. Nutes dropped a little on others. Hoping to be chopping the biggest in 10 days or so. Others seem about 2 weeks behind, they never had the same enthusiasm as that one. Because this one decided it was gonna be quicker than the rest, I'll have to dry in a second tent where I should be starting the next 4 in the next week or two. This going to delay the next start unfortunately

Esos fumetillas, que actualizo esas bombas de candy caramelo 💣 del banco Zambezaseeds.
Y es que ya no les queda nada, estoy pensando en cortarlas con varios días de diferencia, pero ya veremos eso aún está por decidir.
La cuestión es que mirar lo sanas que han llegado hasta el final y a sido Gracias al led que me mando mars hydro.
Esta semana no se echo nada de productos y hasta el corte es lo que seguiré haciendo, con cada riego se alimente la planta con nutrientes o no se tiene que calibrar el ph, mantener la humedad por debajo del 50% Y la temperatura mantenerla entre 22/26 grados.
La flor no es muy grande pero está compacta, tiene bien de resina, el olor es un olor dulce como a chicle de fresa. Muy peculiar y llamativo.
Hasta aquí todo lo de esta semana, disfruten los vídeos y muy buenos humos gente

_____ Week 11 | Day 78 - 85 | 4th week of Flower ______
Day 78 & 79🌞
- What should I write... Not much has happened, I leave the plants alone.
- I put my dehumidifier in the tent this week, it starts as soon as the LF rises above 60%. At the moment it is winter with me and the humidity is very low anyway, saves energy
Day 80 🌞💧
- each plant 3 liter
Day 83 🌞💧
- at the end of week 4 I provided them with nutrients again. They have become thirstier and now drink 3 liters every 3 days

5/1
Trainwreck is starting to absorb it's leaves nutrients. I pluck them as I go. I'm thinking of flushing Amnesia here soon too.
Edit: decided to take a chunk of Amnesia without flushing to see if I can get a flavor difference between flushing and not flushing. I'll be keeping the first clipping in a separate grow tent with fan set to 70F with a max of 60% humidity, I don't think I'll be able to get it to 60F in this tent, but I'll experiment with it and a second humidifier. It's currently 74F and 36% humidity. I wonder if putting a humidifier in there will lower the temperature to the correct level. I'll try.
5/2
Watered both with PH'd tap water. The tent is starting to smell distinct; probably of dead chlorophyll as the plants start absorbing their leaves. The clipping of Amnesia in the other tent is starting to smell a bit like hay. After a couple of weeks of drying, I'll trim and move it into Grove bags to let the terpenes come through during curing.
5/7
Trainwreck's leaves are turning more and more yellow. Gonna check the trichomes on both here soon. Giving them another plain PH'd watering today.

Dia de riego, claramente una no se ve tan saludable como la otra, ya que bebe mas agua y necesita mas dosis de nitrógeno. Comenzare a regarlas con dosis por separado para reforzar a la mas débil.

Day 91-92 BK. WHITE DEATH decended on her neighbors. Mold showed up on one bud in 2 of the other plants in this tent, not on this plant but in plants on either side. Got some great advice from a grower that goes by m0use and thanks so much I followed your advice and am seeing no mold or damage. I removed the top that had the mold growing 2 inches below the affected spot there was nothing under or behind it or anywhere else that I could see so I must have caught it very early. Next I mixed 2 cups of spring water with 2 ounces of 3% hydrogen peroxide, then misted the whole grow until I had used it all. This was done at lights out I placed a fan in front of the tent opened the tent on all sides and let the fan dry her off before the lights came back on. When the lights came back on there were a few places at the back of the tent where I used a paper towel to dab some wet leaves then blow dried with no heat to be sure that section was dry, the blow dry was only a minute or 2. It worked plants looking great checked trichomes and they are all there and clear so mission accomplished. Again thanks to m0use for the help and I plan to start bud washing between chop and dry on all grows, I tried to reply to all answers on my grow questions but once again the techno caveman doesn't know how to do something simple. Copy and pasteing this on the other diaries... Yep that I can do. Ok happiness flush continues and starting to see some cannibal fade.
Day 97 BK. She is done. Finishing a week early probably due to never topping her and she never experienced transplant shock since she germinated in this pot..

well as you can see she is slowly crawling out of her previous issues. This is just not growing like the Thunderfuck genetics I have heard of. Amended for extra veg time. Gonna just leave her and feed only fish shit and humic and fulvic acids

One more week...
I have improved the equipment used to make the Janes will thrive as it should be, and to make sure that the environment is solid as diamond. ||
I absolutely love this genetic. The aroma, the structure of the plant, structure of the flowers and the effects of the final product. I hope in future to look back to what I'm doing and cover any flaws and dive into a very nice pheno-hunt.
🌱 Genetics
Breeder: Royal Queen Seeds
Special Kush #1
Afghan x Kush
Kush is to indica strains what Haze is to sativas. Much like Skunk, “Kush” is a term used to describe an entire lineage of cannabis plants. Today, the term Indica refers to a type of plant that is naturally found (indigenous) to the Indian region.

🌱 Vegetative Stage
Method used: minimal intervention — I don’t touch the plant and simply let it thrive.
The environment remains stable, especially in terms of temperature. I’ve learned that consistency is key: when conditions stay steady, the plant feels comfortable and grows stronger.
I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing!
