~ 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!💚😎🙏

This is the final week of feeding, hopefully the plants will be ready to harvest in a few weeks. After flushing only Purpinator and Fulltilt will be used in this week.

so she got flushed this week and is now fed ripen for the last 3 days, so that means next week is harvest, the smell is really loud now, very very citrus and earthy fumes all over the room. I can already tell this will be one of my favorite flowers to smoke. Most hairs are still white the more down in the plant there is barely any brown pistils but still she got amber trichomes all over her, just one more week straight water and ripen to let her suck those leaves dry so we can finish with a nice fade

Compacte planten met sterke zijtakontwikkeling. Geen problemen met voeding van pH. Hoogte eindgroei: 60–80 cm. --- 🌸 Bloei (week 5–12) Week 1–3 bloei: duidelijke topvorming, stretchfase afgerond. Week 4–6: toppen begonnen te verdikken, sterk aroma (citroen/haze). Week 7–8: trichomenproductie maximaal, stampers begonnen oranje te kleuren. Week 9–10: laatste gevonden, toppen zeer harsrijk en compact. Week 11–12: spoeling uitgevoerd met water met een pH-waarde van 6,3. Oogst bij ±10–20% ambertrichomen. --- 🌾 Oogstresultaat Droogtijd: 10 dagen bij 20°C en 50% RV. Behandeling: 3+ weken in glazen potten, dagelijks luchten. Gemiddeld per plant: ± 20 - 30 gram. --- 👃 Aroma & Smaak Sterke citrus-haze geur met licht kruidige ondertoon. Smaak: fris citroenachtig, met lichte aarde/natte dennennasmaak. Haze-typische sativa high: helder, energiek en langdurig. --- ⚖️ Samenvatting & Notities ✅ Sterke genetica, geen tekenen van stress of hermafrodietgedrag. ✅ Goed bestand tegen voeding en LED-intensiteit. ⚠️ Laat bij volgende ronde op variabele rond week 7–9 – toppen zijn ontsteking voor schimmel bij te hoge RV. 💡 Tip: LST in week 2–3 groei leverde meer zijtoppen en egalere hoogte op. --- Eindoordeel: 🌟 9/10 – Uitstekende opbrengst, gemakkelijke verzorging, topkwaliteit sativa-effect. Een echte aanrader voor LED-kweek in aarde — robuust, geurintens en productief.

Weather has been quite dull this week but this girl is pushing strong into flower fed twice this week with 3ml bio bloom 3ml topmax and 5ml algamic per litre and was happy until weekend arrived now showing small signs of nute burn on tips of some fans will most likely feed for one last week and flush with water till finish! Am still so impressed with these genetics this plant has truely been through hell snapped at 4 weeks and accidentally topped during preflower and Is still producing nicely very proud Of progress and looking forward to the end results! Truely awesome to see what can be done in the back garden ;)

Day 70 This plant stands out with a clean, well-structured shape built around four dominant main colas. Even though it only developed four primary branches, each of them looks thick, healthy, and evenly spaced, giving the plant a very balanced canopy. The foliage appears vibrant and strong, with a healthy green color and no major signs of stress or deficiencies. Bud formation looks clean and consistent, and the overall structure suggests efficient light penetration and airflow. It's a compact but powerful plant that's making excellent use of its architecture

It grew pretty good under the Unit Farm UF4000 and UF2000 lights. The UF2000 was add to the group grow in flowering. Looks like it is leafy bud, but I imagine the flower here has some kick. I uploaded the harvest video. Sorry about the dogs. Will report when I get to smoke report.

She's doing amazing, probably the biggest yield of the 3 plants. She's got quite a while left before flushing, those foxtails take a long time to grow. She's smelling super gassy and sweet/sour.

I will cut down my plants this week looks like the Moby Dick is ready and one of the blue amnesia is almost ready the other two most definitely needs more time but the blue amnesia is losing too many leaves because I'm having trouble flushing completely the soil for nutrients for this one and the other one (Moby Dick)was severely shocked in the beginning so until it runs completely yellow and affect the yield I decided to cut them down I just want to use my tent to dry because of smells and discretion.

6/27-8/3: In my time away, Ms. Cookies did great. She was quickly drinking down her water through the self watering base and she ended up eating all of her nutes, leaving some signs of these deficiencies when I got home. In addition to that, the soil pH was a little high at 7. So with these 2 deficiencies in mind, I flushed her with plain 6.0 pH water to bring the soil pH down, and I also amended the soil with some All Purpose 4-4-4 and Power Bloom 2-8-4. I also did some light defoliation of some larger fan leaves Overall, the plant is looking great. Had a minor setback with the deficiencies but it was honestly expected since I wasn't home to watch her closer for 2 straight weeks.

The week was completely normal with no problems, I'm more and more excited about the next few weeks 😁 they already smell very, very tasty 😏😍
