~ 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!💚😎🙏

@FAST_BUDS,
Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries.
This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow.
First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom.
I put some pictures on the construction here in week one.
The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters.
It provides a floor area of 3.6 square meters.
I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps.
I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside.
The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement.
Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement.
I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition.
I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me.
But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important.
Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days.
I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out.
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome.
I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :)
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics.

D97 F50: what a week!!! I can't believe it, the plants are more and more fragrant, the flowers are bigger and bigger... I expected less than that!
I started the flush with simple osmosis water, corrected with a PH of 6.1! I managed to increase the EC from 2.1 to 1.3, with about 4 liters per plant!! I was able to remove the excess water in the tank using a pump! I'm aiming for an EC between 0.1 and 0.5 for half of week 9, before letting them dry on the foot.
In any case, there are fewer seeds in my flowers than I thought, I tried to remove a few seeds with tweezers, it worked for a few plants but the code red #1 didn't like it... some pieces of flowers dried a little and some trichromes matured faster!! I'm not touching anything anymore
smells:
Papaya Bang Bang #1: smells of exotic fruit candies, especially papaya, very deep and addictive!! a banger
LA Vanilla cake #2: smell of gas with ripe fruits, very cali gelato
Papaya bang bang #2: smell of exotic fruits on a very earthy background, a little og, it's not really what I was looking for but it looks interesting! I think it will be round in the mouth
cherry gar see ya #4: smell of exotic fruit compotes on a very fresh background!!
white runtz x Hollywood: a banger!! a very resinous runtz smell, almost rosin, with smells of lemongrass, ginger... I've never smelled that in my life!!
code red #2: smell of tangy strawberry, simple, not so many smells in the background, almost a little citrus
Code red #1: a banger too! a smell of strawberry syrup, cream, sugar, I can't take my nose off when I smell it
B-45: smell of citrus, grapefruit, with a bug background that I love
LA Vanilla Cake #1: very cali, gas, good gelato too, but without fruits
no TCO for the last two weeks, or very light! I'll give you the recipe anyway
in my flowering TCO, I put:
- kelp hydrolysate
- epsom salt
- bat guano
- mealworm guana
- castor bean shell ash
- palm ash
- vermicompost
- blackstrap molasses
- elycitor
-Yeasts Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Bottom right: LA vanilla cake #2
Bottom middle: Code red #2
Bottom left: Papaya bang bang #1
middle right: cherry gar see ya #4 clone
middle: white runtz x Hollywood

Yeah Lance is definetly recovering. Fascinating how this stunned him, and he and Frank are now so far apart, but same strain, same soil, same everything. Mr. Pipi will see how Lance turns out. I´m still hoping for good and quick recovery. First Pistils showed up on all the plants on Day 23. So in the next one or two Weeks Mr. Pipi expects the Flower to start. Endspurt Sportsfreunde.
So as we can see in the Video Pedro is the tallest, and his overall structure is Mr. Pipis favorite, for now. Not so bushy as the Bloody Skunks but we´ll have to see what the Stretch says.
The opportunity was given to tie Pedro´s main stem down. So Mr. Pipis canope stays around the same level. Initally I wanted to not manipulate them, but that´s what Mr. Pipi loves in growing. You watch´em and if you bond enough with your plants, you´ll know what to do. be in a symbiosis. But dont use Pipi on your plants.

Responded really well to the bloom nutients. Massive stretch and so many bud sites. I will defoliate at the end of the week and LST as needed. Defolitated, removed smaller buds at the bottom. The bud stacking and volume of this strain is amazing

Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are a unique blend of Afghan Kush x Super Skunk, producing the most pungent dank weed. Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop, which had an enhanced and more potent THC content and was more intense in terms of smell. The third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL, which has a similar THC content but an enhanced heavier yield. The smoke is incredible, with an outstanding flavor of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its earthy solid scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene, which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odor. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain, and the effect is well-balanced, developing mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression.
The intense solid aroma starts early in the flowering period; if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors, you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse these babies' stinky "road kill" aroma! Cheese XXL is a cheese strain suited to indoor setups and thrives outdoors well. These feminized marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mold and disease and produce a substantial harvest that professional and amateur growers can quickly achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding. Break open the buds ready for use, and you'll see why the stench will make your eyes water!
Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis, so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency, and flavor, Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice.

So the girls are maturing up now and getting thicker still. No much to do other than wait for the trichomes to tell me they are finished.. so far seeing all milky white, but would like at least 30% Amber in there.
Flush times in RDWC will only take 2-3 Days max so not so concerned about that, a res change with Reverse Osmosis water is what ill do closer to harvest for the cleanest meds.
Smelling really strong and gas like with the first pheno and the second pheno is more sweet/candy like with subtle hints of gas. Can't wait to try it but for now the process can't be rushed.
Some better footage and long videos on the youtube channel if your curious to how they are getting on.
Day 68 - one pheno has a lovely fade going on, black... looks cool. She is looking really thick in places as ypu can see from the day 68 photo, thats actually a 'lower' bud. Nice a frosty and smells soo dank, i open the tent and without touching anything i come out and smell so loud like I have rolled in the garden 😅 (Serious). Cant wait to.get her chopped bjt sticking to the 70 days at least. Will be back very shortly with another update.
Day 69/70 - Decided to upload a night video, i did try to upload a video previously for the week gone.. but for some reason the growdiaries platform wouldn't allow it.. i always upload high quality videos/pictures otherwise whats the point. Sort it out GD.
But anyway back to the garden, judging by day 70, the bigger plant pheno definitely seems done but the other pheno serms it could go a little longer. Ultimately I'm waiting to get the trichome ratio how I want it as thats the true sign of when she's done. She's faded a really nice purple, black. So I know she's close. The end is near people..
Stay tuned 😉

Slt, semaine 4 qui se termine. Les plantes récupèrent du topping et de la défoliation qu’elles ont subies au tout début de la semaine,, peu être que je l’ai fait trop tôt, et pas correctement(voir photos) je ne sais pas. Pour la défoliation, j’ai enlevé les plus grosses feuilles seulement quand il y avait suffisamment d’autres petites feuilles pour que la plantes puissent continuer à capter l’énergie de la lumière.
En tout cas les plantes semblent récupérer correctement, même si elles ne poussent pas trop en hauteur. Maintenant qu’elles ont cicatrisées, elles devraient reprendre leurs croissances.
Voilà, à la semaine prochaine.
Happy grow😎

The number of points on a cannabis leaf is primarily influenced by genetics, the plant's maturity, and environmental factors.
Grape Guava is an Indica Hybrid. Hmmmm
Genetics: The plant's genetics are the most important factor in determining the potential number of leaflets. Sativa-dominant strains are more likely to develop leaves with a high number of leaflets, sometimes producing 13 or more. In contrast, indica strains typically have fewer, broader leaflets, usually between 5 and 9.
Maturity: A cannabis plant's leaves gain more leaflets as it matures.
Seedling stage: The first true leaves after the initial cotyledons emerge with a single leaflet, followed by sets with 3, then 5.
Vegetative growth: Healthy, mature plants will consistently produce leaves with 7 to 9 leaflets, though 11 or 13 is possible.
Fast growth: A mature plant growing quickly in ideal conditions with plenty of light and proper nutrients is more likely to show a higher number of leaflets.
Environmental conditions: Optimal growing conditions can push a plant to express its genetic potential for more leaflets.
High light: A fast-growing plant with ample light is more likely to develop leaves with 9, 11, or 13 leaflets.
Stress: Environmental stresses, such as unusual lighting schedules, can sometimes cause mature plants to produce leaves with fewer leaflets than normal.
Blue light causes stomata, the pores on plant leaves, to open by activating a signaling pathway within the guard cells. This process involves phototropin photoreceptors, which initiate plasma membrane H+-ATPase activation, pumping protons out of the cells. This creates an electrical potential that drives potassium (K+) uptake, causing guard cells to swell and the stomatal pore to open, allowing gas exchange. Foliars applied in strong blue 430nm with 4000hz tone. 20min dose prior to application.
In essence, you're seeing a combination of the infrared light reflected by the plant, which the camera perceives as red, and any residual visible blue light the plant reflects, which results in a purple hue.

Week 8 for Black Lebanon by SSSC
She's also been loving the high humidity/rain as she's really starting to gain size😍She barely skipped a beat after being topped & a little defoliation. Just letting her branches get a little longer/stronger before i start to pull her side ways more.
She's generally a taller/lankier strain compared to the gelato 41.
With how its been raining i wont be watering her for a while easily until next week if not longer depending how hot its going to be getting as were expecting 33 degrees plus coming in this week.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a safe week. The Glueberry OG continues to stack on weight as seen in the timelapse with the mains starting to sag as gravity starts to affect the stacking of the flowers. She is still feeding on cal mag, maxi bloom, and Liquid Kool Bloom. I will transition her to the dry Kool Bloom probably sometime this week as I believe she is about 2 weeks or so from harvest. I am planning to harvest her around 4th of July time frame, and then I will start a few photo period mainlines for my next run. She is starting to smell very nice with an earthy smell and a hint of blueberries.
I currently have the Spectrum X cranked up to 100% power and have upped the time on the UV/IR bars to 120 minutes just prior to lights off. I am super happy with this light so far, she puts out impressive PAR, and runs fairly cool. Not much to do this week other than keep the reservoir full and in the correct PH range. The tomatoes outside are absolutely loving the runoff from these autos, as that is all they have had to drink since they were about 3 weeks old.
Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪
