~ 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: 8/19- Week 2 of flower is here for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and she is looking fantastic! Our weather has finally cooled down and the daylight has dropped to just over 13 hours now. 8/21- My daily watering campaign continues with me giving the Papaya Sherbet 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. 8/23- Luckily, with it's wide node spacing, there's not a lot to do with the Papaya Sherbet at this point except to keep her watered! She has not required any thinning out and has had only a few lower leaves turn yellow, which I promptly remove. Overall, this lady is a dream to grow, requiring little to no effort or maintenance! 8/25- There's the second week of flower on the books for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and I have great expectations for how this fine looking lady is going to turn out, as she has exceeded all my expectations so far! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Dear Friends ❤️ in this week we topped again and bended these two Slurricane by Anesia Seeds. They recovered really fast from this stress again, from now they will develope a lot of bud sites! I missed to give top crop Big one at 14 october, it is important to give 10 days before flowering The last day of this week we switched the light to 12/12 week #5 of vegetation The 240w light is working at 50% power and now it is combined with the 480w quantum board. I consider week 4 the week from 18/10 to 24/10. day to day fert schedule: 📅 18/10 📅 19/10 NEEM OIL 📅 20/10 📅 21/10 Top Veg 3ml/L-Deeper Underground 2ml/L - Green Explosion 2ml/L - big one 2ml/L - PURPINATOR 1,2ml/L 📅 22/10 📅 23/10 📅 24/10 we are starting a new grow cycle with a lot of AMAAAAAZING genetics. We can't wait to show you our progresses with these little babies. I really want to thank Martin of Anesia Seeds, he helped us with the strain's choiches, so THANK YOU Martin, thank you Anesia seeds. Seeds and merchandising ( my god we love these things ❤️❤️❤️) were sent in a dark discret package, shippin was incredibly fast, now is our mission to achieve the best from these lovely seeds. Germination was incredibly fast, less than 36Hours to make the root sprout on. ABOUT: Slurricane Slurricane was created by crossing two first-class trend varieties: a Nor-Cal-Cut of Do-Si-Dos was crossed with an extremely potent and long-selected Purple Punch. The result is an outstanding Indica dominant hybrid with an extremely high THC content and a complex terpene profile. Slurricane is currently one of the most popular strains in the United States. We became aware of the genetics early on and got down to work to get the best out of it and bring the strain to its limit. Anesia ‘s Slurricane is currently one of the strongest cannabis strains in the world and can produce an incredible THC level of up to 30%. Its resin production is gigantic and the aroma is simply stunning. The plants from the Slurrican seeds are easy to cultivate, grow quickly and vigorously. With sufficient light, the plants develop into real gems that leave nothing to be desired. Within the flowering period of 64 days, the variety forms very dense and compact flowers that have an oversized resin production. The buds are covered with a glittering thick layer of resin. The aroma is intensely fruity and sweet like berries with a fresh citrus note. Not only its taste becomes an unforgettable experience. The high offers an amazing potency, with strong physical and cerebral effects. Slurricane is a knock-out strain and the effects last long and create happiness. It will bring your body to complete relaxation and envelop you in a warm cloud, while at the same time creating positive feelings that bring all your senses to a higher level. The thick, dense buds carry a very unique und tasty trichome covering that make them ideal for producing cannabis concentrates.

Bubble Gum was definitely the greatest yielder of the 3. So much flower I could not get in with the scissors to cut the leaves off at the stem. Very excited to see the final weight.

Sorry it took so long for an update. I got married in the meantime and went on a honeymoon. Before I went though I took the plants down and had a friend take care of the drying and curing. It looks like I got 2 pheno's. One is has more red hairs and is a bit more skunky and peppery. The other has bit more sativa like bud forming and smells a bitt gassy in addition to the tangieness. The yield is also definitely not disappointing. Plant 1: 76gr Plant 2: 68gr Plant 3: 65gr Total:209gr I am happy with that. Especially since it's my first LED grow.

Another 2 weeks into flower and Candy Cream Go Fast from Kannabia is blowing past all expectations and delivering a very quick (auto like flower period) but with strong female results. The way it's at to maturing these past 2 weeks is amazing. I've not been able to give my plants the greatest of care at the moment. But with Xpert Nutrients and Kannabia it's a combo that is very hard to get wrong. I'm getting a lovely finish (fade) and terpine profiles (smells) are astounding and uber sticky. All these Nutrients above were given separately over a 2 week period with water feeds in between each, 2 master bloom & calmag + Enzymes/root were used often too. Ph to 6.5-7 Ppm for bloom stayed 4-450ppm. Light lollipopping was done last week. Needed to allow air to flow through the un lst'ed branches and too much bud. I wish I'd given my plants more care. But, last 2 months have not been good. Crypto market has me in a real bind atm and having to actually work is killing me. Must be in the 6th week of flowering going into the 7th. Staying on what's above and making sure to keep the soil moist or not let it get to dry is paying off.

I did some defoliation and pruning of lower branches at the start of the week and this plant hasn't recovered as much foliage as the CBD Blue Shark, even though this one was bigger until recently. I think the plants have a preference for being on the left, right underneath the filament part of the light bulb. I also still need to finish the right wall and put white mylar on it. Maybe I will switch the plants for a bit.

There's another week, last major cut, Gorilla No. 1 was male or hermaphrodite so it was removed, Gorilla No. 2 looks like a female for now, maybe it will stay like this 🙏 Day 40: Because one wheels grew 20 cm above the others I had to do HST, I can do topping, but I didn't want to lose buds, so I chose HST Day 41: the next day, the HST branch turns behind the light day 42: The last day of the sixth week, the girl is in great condition
