~ 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!💚😎🙏

Really sublime strain released the day of the harvest. Casually, means a lot for me… is still not test #2 but Sticky Broccoli. What e Epic Name. Please notice the long shape i’m a tall guy and take a look to me next this baby. There are loves that are destined to be brief but intense and loves that are destined to last forever. Sticky Broccoli is one of those things I have done that I will hardly forget in my life, when I am old and have superpowers for all the THC smoked, I will tell the story of these monsters. ATTENTION: I have divided the harvests of the two plants because they are widely documented by many photos so as to give you greater possibility of distinction. The other plant is entirely published in the week before the harvest. They were born in the ideal period, I told my boss also favored by the moon, in an ideal super tropical place comparable to California in terms of climate, they ate Plagron the best that the market can offer in terms of organic fertilization and they grew in a newly bought organic soil that was not recycled. The conditions were really all there but we still went beyond all expectations. From the first moment they stood out for being the fastest, voracious with a metabolism at full blast always thanks to the Plagron additives and these impressive genetics. We remember the excellent parents Sticky beast and Green Crack as heritage I would say not bad at all. I let them vegetate a bit too much or rather 4/5 weeks are not that much but while the others have remained almost normal plants these have broken through. I say broken through because the main cola of the tallest was pushing decisively on the roof of the 220 cm growbox. Truly animalistic the few friends who saw it have widened their eyes. A Wonder or rather two. The main cola is standing by miracle but it is very big and very full of very very resinous grass. This harvest of 23 plants all Zamnesia has proved surprising from many aspects, an exaggerated quantity of grass, autoflowering that have touched 100 grams and all above 50 always very little mold and probably because I too much hold of some paints. But the thing that literally amazed me, because unfortunately these days we have to be amazed by this too, ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. Let's think carefully about what we do guys when we plant, we never put seeds found in the grass and we plant seeds from breeders who work well. Zamnesia is distinguishing itself guys I'm here and I'll prove it to you if you have any questions or doubts please write to me for anything. Released to the public today 23/12/2024 remember this name: Sticky Broccoli, there is also an auto version like almost all Zamnesia strains and I promise you that it will become a masterpiece soon. Everyone will want a seed, I don't like to do Nostradamus, I recognize quality. Zamnesia Strain Description // Our breeders love to challenge themselves to develop cutting-edge varieties and Sticky Broccoli is a perfect example of their mastery. Combining high-yielding genetics like Sticky Beast with pungent Green Crack has resulted in a 90% indica strain that is extremely tasty and has 23% THC. Inside the grow room, the plants perform excellently. Growers will appreciate the high yields and the extraordinary beauty of the buds: fragrant, vibrant and glistening with resin. Smokers will be enchanted by the seductive aromas and intense effects that emerge almost instantly after the first toke. - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10818-zamnesia-seeds-sticky-broccoli.html The plant has eaten the 100% Organic feeding of Plagron: Alga Grow and Alga Bloom as basic nutrients, the rooting Power Roots, the amino acids of Sugar Royal, the Enzymes of Pure Zym that eat the dead parts in the soil, Power Buds that always gives us immense satisfaction with rapidity of start of flowering and composition of the buds, the legendary Green Sensation that now needs no introduction, a name a guarantee. The fertilizer kits that you can find on the Zamnesia website are perfect for this purpose, there is everything. Choose them based on their mineral/organic composition and the soil you have chosen. at the link --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html The quantity was measured using the sheet prepared on purpose on the Plagron website based on the soil chosen: Plagron Pro Mix + Perlite. at the link --- https://plagron.com/en Secret Jardin DF16 ventilation system and all the fans too make wind into at the link --- https://www.secretjardin.com/it/ The light was supplied by MarshHydro and the growbox too at the link --- https://www.mars-hydro.com A fantastic selection of seeds, a headshop and a selection of exceptional accessories on the world of cannabis, many other things about mushrooms, health, well-being and all the beautiful things that nature offers only on the Zamnesia website at the link --- https://www.zamnesia.com

Day 12 Starting to show preflowers. Seems a bit late. I will take clones today from top 3 plants 81f/76%. 1100ppm. 1000co2 37-53kluxx 4 very sickly and ugly plants Plant stems are all pretty stiff by now. Looks like i could have fit 2 more plants Day 14 Plants are doing well with height control. I did a second Topping of the main 4 branches for each plant the week before flower flip. Most plants are 22-25inches tall 3 of my White Weddings are looking very weird. Not a clue as to what is wrong. Flowers are developing well on each plant No more LST from here in out. I will let them grow how they are(minimal stress) Started Defoliating

Plant 1 been staying bushy not as much stretch. Plant 2 stretch a good bit. They were both 18 inches start of flower. Bigger one is 30 inches. Changed my nut mix lower. Was a little strong missed two days of adding water. Started to show little sign of nut burn. It was 4.5 gallon low and ph dropped to 5.12. Ordered float valve so wouldn't happen again. They are finely getting hairs two days ago. Been working on cleaning out under the canopy. So I'm thinking one more day and plant 1 will be through the screen. Plant 2 almost has it grid full. Should be full by next week when I feed and post again. If you have any questions about anything just ask. If you see something I don't please tell. Happy growing see you next week

This week, I gave my plants more fertilizer to test if they show any signs of burning. Now, I'm stressed out! I think I should give myself some seaweed to relieve the stress 😂 The girls show signs of calcium deficiency. I sprayed a small amount of calcium and magnesium on them to help them recover faster. I’m not sure why the new leaves are very pale. Could they be lacking iron? I think the high soil moisture might be causing issues with iron absorption, but I’m not completely sure. I’ll wait and see what happens this week. Considering that I use regular water, I expected them not to have a calcium deficiency.

Week 4 for the indoor black Lebanon by SSSC Phenos 4 & 1 are for sure the ones packing on the size of buds first. Hoping the other 2 catch up. They were only feed plain water next week ill probably give them a feeding of greenhouse feeding bio enhancer for some extra boost. They are all smelling of a strong nutmeg type spice atm.

This is my 2nd grow of Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. It's a fairly compact strain, smells fruity and this go around smells very similar to poison strains (red poison, Durban poison, ect). I believe the terpene is terpinolene. I wish I could test it😅. Anyways, She was chopped on day 80 Spent 7 days drying Yield: 2.02 ounces dry weight Huge thanks to plagron and Zamnesia. Thanks to the eternity Grow Cup. It was an honor. 🙏

04/20/25: This week brought a bit of a lull in growth, and I’ll admit it’s been a little disappointing. While the plants still appear healthy overall, vertical and canopy expansion has slowed, and I’m still not seeing any clear progress in preflower development. I was hoping for more definitive signs of sex by now, but unfortunately, the plants are holding onto their mystery a bit longer. That said, it’s not all stagnant. There has been noticeable thickening in the stems and branches, which tells me the plants are shifting some energy into building structural support. That kind of development is a good sign—it’s almost as if they’re preparing to bear some weight, even if the upper growth hasn’t taken off just yet. If you’re looking at the photos and thinking they look a bit droopy—don’t worry. The plants were intentionally allowed to dry out. I like to let them go a little longer between waterings at this stage to encourage root expansion, forcing the roots to explore the full volume of the pot in search of moisture. That strategy continues to pay off in strong root development and better resilience going into flower. I also finally got around to the defoliation I had planned last week. The plants are looking a little bare at the moment, especially after just being watered, but that’s by design. Over the next few days, they’ll perk back up, and all of the exposed growth tips should bush out and push new growth as the plants respond to the open canopy and fresh airflow. We’re about a week out from transplanting into the final 6.9-gallon AutoPot XLs. My hope is that sexing becomes more obvious before then, so I can make informed decisions about which plants to move forward with. I’ll be watching closely and will update sooner if anything changes on that front.

Hey!✋ The timely measures taken brought positive results - it is almost unnoticeable that the plants had problems a week ago.😇 I continue to bend the branches, remove excess foliage for better illumination of new shoots. This time I won’t delay the cycle for long; if everything goes according to plan, in a week I will switch the light schedule to flowering. Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶
