~ 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!๐Ÿคฏ 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!๐Ÿ˜ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures are in the mid 50'sโ„‰, 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!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 9/28- The Seventh week of flower is here for the Papaya Sherbet Fem Photo by FastBuds and this lady is looking glorious! 9/30- The weather continues to be cool which is great, the downside is at night we're having heavy dew, which has me concerned about Boytris setting in so I'll start monitoring the flowers daily, removing any showing even the slightest sign of rot beginning. 10/2- My daily routine of watering, removing dead foliage and checking over the Papaya Sherbet continues. 10/4- With the seventh week of flowering behind her now, the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is quickly approaching the end of the road! Next week I will be monitoring the trichomes to try to dial in the ideal harvest time, and at the same time keeping my fingers crossed that she isn't overcome with Boytris... ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™

Cada vez crecen mรกs las Big Devil F1 y la "luz" que emite este LED de Mars-Hydro les encanta โค๏ธ, gracias a Emmie de Marshydro por enviรกrmelo. Le hago amarres para disminuir la altura, ya que se han espigado por un viaje desde otra ciudad. Aunque sigo sin saber cual es la distancia ideal, por ahora tengo al TS1000 a unas 18'' pulgadas de las plantitas ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒฑ.

The plant is doing well overall this week! ๐Ÿ’ช To handle a few fungus gnats that started showing up, I introduced nematodes into the soil and placed some yellow sticky traps, seems to be keeping things under control so far. She's growing quite tall now, definitely stretching up nicely, but not really filling out much in width. A true lemony skyscraper in the tent!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜ Great job, @anesia_seeds!! ๐Ÿ’œ Growing the Foster was a beautiful experience, since reading the strain description i could not wait to try this tasty variety!! ๐Ÿ˜‹ i wasn't disappointed! Thanks for showing up and supporting me and the girls, bless you, growmies!! ๐Ÿ˜˜ Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support!! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, you can find a generous discount code of 25% in my weekly comments! ๐Ÿ˜œ ๐Ÿ™ If you want a recommendation which product to get first.. BIGFRUITS!! ๐Ÿ˜ I love the tasty terps with this one!! https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Thanks also of course @Anesia_Seeds, for the beautiful genetics!! ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’œ ________________________________________________________ Strain Information: Foster Foster is a balanced hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and itโ€™s the result of crossing a particularly THC-rich Emperor Cookies Dough with our highly potent Sleepy Joe. The combination of these two exceptionally strong parents has resulted in a premium strain that delivers a fine balanced aroma and an insane high. Fosterโ€™s high is deceptively slow at first and creeps up, but after a few minutes her outsized potency unfolds with dizzying energy and euphoria. The mind is suddenly full of motivation and a feeling of lightness spreads. At the same time, the body is flooded with tingling, warm effects and greatly relaxed. The strain clears your mind for new ideas and concepts, lets you dream and makes you feel really happy. Due to her high potency and measured THC levels of up to 35%, she will delight and challenge those with a high tolerance with ease, while certainly beaming away novices for several hours. Because of this, she is not recommended for beginners and you should not underestimate this fragrant beauty. Growing Foster Foster is a resilient and vigorous strain that produces excellent results indoors, outdoors and in the greenhouse. She tips the scales in yields of up to 550g/mยฒ or 1000g per plant, grows quickly and forms many strong side branches with large heavy buds. Towards the end of the flowering period, the buds are covered in a thick layer of glistening resin and emit an intense sweet, fresh and floral scent. She is perfect for growing in a SCROG or SOG and has a very favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, making manicuring easy. Her terpene profile is complex, offering an aroma and flavor reminiscent of coffee, caramel, freshly baked cookies, and vanilla. Itโ€™s a seductive treat that shouldnโ€™t fool you with her mind-blowing potency. She is among the strongest strains on the market and has enough THC to blow your head off. Therapeutic effects Due to its complex terpene and cannabinoid profile, it has a similar wide range of uses in the therapeutic field as in the recreational field. It helps to reduce stress, has a mood-enhancing effect and is extremely helpful for pain and inflammation. https://anesiaseeds.com/product/foster/ ________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H 24pcs Osram 660nm 8pcs Osram IR 730nm 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75โ‚ฌ) โœจ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cmยณ/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cmยณ/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow Bloom to pH 6.2 ๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ˜

Day 42 / Week 6 Flower begins today - 22/12/2021. EC - EC has been a little high, rising to as high as 1.9 overnight after approx 16hrs since last feed. Inflow is 1.3 and will probably remain there or even be backed off slightly to 1.2 until the plants show they require more as if it keeps rising I will have to lower the EC slightly. I believe it is the Ultimate PK sending the EC higher as that is the only thing that has changed. Still giving less than half of what mills suggest and the girls donโ€™t seem to mind, if anything they are getting slightly overfed as above suggests. Multifeeding - I am currently feeding every 4 hours, 2 hours after lights on and 2 hours before lights off for a total for 3 x per day, 2l per plant per feed. Always with 20% or greater runoff. Defoliation - I am still only removing about 7-10 leaves per plant every 4 or 5 days if they are beginning to cover or shade bud sites below. If they are not causing issues, I wonโ€™t remove them as I donโ€™t want to cause any unnecessary stress at this stage. โ€œLSTโ€ - The string is still attached from the โ€œLSTโ€, it does not seem to be affecting the plant and is keeping centre of the plants exposed pretty well so Iโ€™m trying to just keep the string on. As the weeks go on, if the branches require support instead of tying down, I will tie them up the frame of the tent probably. Both girls buds are beginning to fatten up, especially along the main branches are becoming more developed and more colours are coming on MOP 2 which is the more purple and prettier of the two phenos (for now). Even the lower stuff on both girls is a lot larger than the last time so Iโ€™m happy already as Iโ€™d imagine the tops will be even larger and there is still approx 3 weeks / 21 days remaining. Canโ€™t wait to see how much more these progress in the coming weeks. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š

Barneys Farm Pineapple Chunk Take 3 10th February 2022 Another Great week of flowering weather , even tho the daytime temps reach 40c the plants seem to be thriving ๐Ÿ˜€ with this one in particular ๐Ÿ‘Œ I have not needed to add anything to this soil I made which goes to show that I made it almost perfectly this time around. One major difference to this lot is that I grew a crop of sweet corn in it last summer , followed by a full bed of leafy green vegetables such as Spinach , Kale , Silverbeet , Lettuce and Chard. I am now seeing the first signs that the girls need more but I am still waiting for the Guano to arrive ๐Ÿ˜ Despite this She is cruising along really well and I predict a harvest in about 7 weeks . Loving it !! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Thankyou for stopping by ๐Ÿ‘

The automatic Amnesia Haze started very well, the new leaves come out quickly and grow very quickly, the organic fertilizers seem to work, we have just started with Easy grow and we are very happy of the result.

Sixth Week / 13.06.24 - 19.06.24 Week 6 continued with smooth growth and development! ๐ŸŒฟ Focused on optimizing light exposure to each bud site using the SCROG technique, ensuring all buds are getting the attention they need. โ˜€๏ธ The pistils are looking healthy and vibrant, showing promising signs of robust flowering. ๐ŸŒผ Excitingly, Apollo F1 is already starting to develop its first trichomes, a sign that things are progressing well. โœจ Everything is on track, and the plants are thriving in their environment. ๐Ÿš€

Week 10, so from today I stopped watering the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and on Saturday no more light as well. Sunday is harvest day finally. Not much changed, I raised up the water with 25ml so the Purple Punch gets 200ml 2 x a day. That's all, since last week I started giving 13 hours darkness and 11 hours light and from Monday will be 12/12 after I harvested the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and I can use the tent only for her. Fertilization will happen on the same days. Sunday fun day, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is harvested. Purple Punch left alone. From tomorrow I will switch the light schedule 12/12. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.
