~ 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: 6/15- Week Eleven of veg is here and the GG4 Sherbet FF is taking off now!🚀 6/17- I watered today and also did a little canopy maintenance, removing some leaves that were hanging below the canopy or were yellowing, along with some small shoots down low on the plant that would have only produced small larfy buds. 6/19- Our summer is here and we're under an early heat wave this week with daytime temp's hitting the mid to upper 90's ℉ with heat indexes in the low 100's ℉... in short, IT'S FNG HOT!🔥🔥🔥 I'm watering the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF daily now with 5-7g of straight well water from the garden hose. I'm watering at sundown so that the water will have some time to soak down into the soil before the heat evaporates it. The coating of straw that I previously spread over the soil has helped a lot as well with retaining moisture in the soil. I also went ahead and removed a bunch of foliage that was below the trellis net. 6/21- The weather continues to relentlessly bake everything outside, and so the daily watering continues.🌱🚿 Hopefully this dreadfully hellish weather will break in the near future, but I have a feeling that it will be here for a good while...🤞I hope to see you next week! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

9.7. Smell changed from a mix of orange and maracuja to a whole multi vitamin juice kind of flavor over night. Under the loupe I can spot the odd amberish trichome, maybe by mishandling , but most are milky or clear, still producing more fresh ones.

I've adjusted the days to now be from seedling, rather than germination. Please excuse the inconsistency! I've stopped taking so many photos as I'm trying to keep the box closed to keep the heat in. Day 23: looks like they may be entering pre-flower. I can see what looks like pistils on the stems. Very happy with their growth, Belinda is now the larger lady after being the runt for the first part of her life.

They really took off I was doubting the size of em a few weeks ago 😁 Really struggling with RH tho, not done much defoliation, didn't wanna upset em had herms the last 2 runs so treading lightly. A fair bit of air movement in there hoping that'll keep mold away 🤞

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

Hello Growmies, We’ve entered week 12 with our Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel plants, and the journey towards harvest continues to amaze. The past week has been marked by the plants' steadfast maturation, with no significant changes in their growth pattern except for one stunning development: the emergence of beautiful purple hues across the buds and leaves. Plants #1 and #3 remain the stars of the show, maintaining their impressive size and dense bud formations. The decision to optimize the light spectrum early on continues to pay dividends, ensuring the plants receive precisely what they need for robust flowering. The grow lights remain carefully positioned to avoid any heat stress, maintaining a perfect balance of intensity and distance. The foliage retains its vibrant green color, a clear indication of the plants' excellent health and nutrient uptake. The support grid continues to provide essential structural support, crucial as the buds gain weight and density with each passing day. Root systems remain strong and resilient, anchoring the plants securely and facilitating efficient nutrient absorption. This strong foundation has been pivotal in sustaining the plants through their final stages of development. As we progress through week 12, the excitement for harvest is palpable. The trichomes have continued to mature, now prominently coating the buds in a glistening layer of resin. The buds themselves are swelling with potency, promising a rich and aromatic yield. With the flushing process completed, we’ve optimized the final weeks to enhance flavor and smoothness, ensuring a premium harvest. The plants are now in their prime, showcasing not only their robust health but also their striking visual appeal with those alluring purple hues. Stay tuned for the upcoming harvest updates as we prepare to reap the rewards of this journey. Keep nurturing your plants with care and dedication. Stay lifted! Salokin
