Nov. 5 - start of week 6 and this grows so far gone off without a hitch. Third node on each side come’n out now so expect to be topping some time this week. Until then it’s all keepn er spread and low until we have our last 4 tops. The clone experiment is a 2/3’ds fail. The last one is hangn in there but probably just dying slower than the other 2. THANKS FOR CHECKn er out. More pics and video to follow.👊👍😎👌 Nov. 6 update - photos and weekly vid uploaded. Added a little blurb about topping in response to a fellow grower's question. This community rocks and the constant support and advice from everyone is greatly appreciated. Cheers y'all!😎👊✊ Nov. 7 update - so I lied and she stretched out from her second nodes over night. Bent er down a little and reset the thing ties. Alls good! Nov. 10 update - they’re drinking a consistent 3L a piece on a 3:1 nute feed to ph/calmag only regimen and loving it. Trimmed off some fan leaves dragging in the dirt and covering the first set of tips. Was hoping to top again this week but it’s starting to look more and more like next week at the this point. That 4th node just hasn’t stretched stretched out enough yet. Alls good!👍 Background After the batshit nonsense with this years outdoor grows getting jacked, I need some kush and I need it fast! This girls an indoor grow in the cabinet and she'll be manifolded and defo'd for 8-10 fat ass colas. They’ll spend a first week or so under a cfl assembly while the last harvest dries out in the cabinet. This grow is going to be nute sched. heavy and will hopefully test the limits of my smaller grow space (2sq/ft). Ive had my eye on a critical & kush cross for awhile and really looking forward to seeing this one grow out. Thanks for take'n a peek, stayed tuned, and happy grow'n folks! 👊

~ 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: 7/26- Week Eleven of veg is here and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is getting taller by the day and is looking fantastic! Our summer weather continues to be brutal with daytime high temperatures hitting over 90℉ everyday, and nighttime low temp's rarely going below 75℉ with super high nighttime RH in the 70-90% range. 7/28- I am continuing with my daily watering regime of 5-8g every afternoon after sunset, with the exception of days that we receive measurable rain. 7/30- The Papaya Sherbet photo is continuing her growth spurt and is at 6 1/2 feet tall now! She's got that wide node spacing reminiscent of Sativa's, and I'm just hoping that she doesn't wait too long to begin flowering which would run into our wet season when issues with fungus and mold become more of a concern. 8/1- The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is now 84 days since she first appeared, and she has really come a long way since. Hopefully in the next few weeks she will shift gears and begin to flower which will be a welcome sight to see! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

This is the week. I am watching the Tri's and looks like I should see some amber very soon. This will be a low yield but the bud quality will be very HIGH! The Jack's did well on just water and are very sticky. Harvest is near - Then it's off to Vegas Baby! Mid Week Check and due to my time frame I am going to harvest tomorrow evening -- I did harvest both tents. I must say the Green Crack is amazing. The buds are brilliant green, super dense & smell intense! The Jack Skellington's came out very well. The buds are fully developed, super sticky & very strong smell. The trichome's looked ready, mostly cloudy with sprinkles of orange - I can't wait to get these buds jarred up next week & get a final weigh in. I mostly look forward to some killer home grown bud! Super happy with the density of the buds from both tents. Grow Bud Yourself - Grow Bud Yourself ! ...

These two plants have given me the experience and the desire to do even better! Next genetics I thought I would bring another pure Indica...

Day 86. Almost no sugar leaves, most of trim went to bin, part left for bubble hash. Kind off hoped a bit more from this strain, maybe smoke will bright me up ;) Day 96. 77 g. went for curing. Smallest from all. Two month later. Made some bubble hash. Great strain, waiting for sunny day and will make smoke review. Not a lot of bubble, but it was great ! Happy Growing !

Cut at 9 weeks. Organic 1 gallons work great

This may be her last week. She's at day 56 since 12/12 I haven't decided whether I wanna push her to day 63 or not. She has a nice mixture of amber on the tops already So I did decide to chop

Hey guys! 😀👋 Week 5 is here and my girls are growing fast! But as always, some things happened/did some things this week: - The girl's that's on the front (closer to the camera) is clearly growing faster and for that reason I believe she's going to get into flower before than her sister! - I think the girl on the back might be have some kind of excess or deficit going on? Confusing. No idea what could've be doing it. - I've been tucking leaves pretty much all week. Specially on the girl on the back and some of her leaves are twitching in a very weird way. I want to defoliate a little so the lower buds get more but Iight fear I might end stunning my girls!😨 - I reinforced the LST on my girls, the one that I did was not enough! Anyway, that's pretty much all! I hope you'll all enjoy the photos and the timelapse! 😍 See you all next week!

12 weeks from seed, no topping

Hi folks! Last week report for this cycle. My daily grow logs churned through keenly instructed AI first - my ramblings later. Let's go! --- PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK TWELVE [newsreel crackle, brass fanfare] GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. The last soldier has fallen. The tent stands EMPTY. The campaign — is CONCLUDED. DATELINE: THE FINISH LINE. Private Cinderella Jack, the LANDLORD, sole survivor of a long and unglamorous war, went down at PEAK TRICHOME STRENGTH — drinking three and a half liters a day to the end, browning her pistils with dignity, and smelling, our correspondent reports, of PINE FOREST with a sour citrus spin and a sweetness underneath he suspects of myrcene. She was, we are told, INTRIGUING. High praise from a man who once accused an entire plant of smelling like celery. [bugle, distant] DATELINE: THE JARS. This program has learned that A PRISONER TALKED. Four outbreaks of botrytis in five campaigns — a record our correspondent now catalogues like a war crimes tribunal, each with a NAMED CULPRIT: an air conditioner blowing on wet material. A dense cola in low VPD. A tent not cleaned into the corners. A scrog net gone slack and one forgotten soldier in the slump. And this run: 8.46 grams condemned to the bin. So the suspects were SEALED IN GLASS. Thirty percent fill. One hygrometer each. And under interrogation the infected bud CONFESSED — fifty-eight percent, where sixty-four was expected. The clean sample held at sixty-four and CLIMBED. Apollo was trimmed and conserved on the sworn testimony of a bud in a jar. [ominous timpani] DATELINE: THE FEED BENCH. Consider the PRECISION of this man. He doses silicon by the residue clinging inside a NEEDLE — six hundredths of a gram, swept into a few milliliters of water, two-thirds administered, the remainder discarded. Four liters of solution. A dose you could not see if we put it on camera. [record scratch] AND NOW — THE TWIST THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN BUILDING TOWARD SINCE MARCH. On the FINAL MORNING of the FINAL WEEK, that same man FORGOT TO EMPTY AN ENTIRE WATER TANK. The dehumidifier tank overflowed. A POOL spread across half his floor. Humidity climbed. VPD sank toward 1.1. AND HERE, AMERICA, IS THE CRUELEST GRACE THIS PROGRAM HAS EVER BROADCAST: the night before, our correspondent had lain awake THEORIZING about how to soften the transfer from harvest to drying chamber — by RAISING THE HUMIDITY at precisely that hour. His equipment failure IMPLEMENTED HIS OWN UNBUILT PROTOCOL. The tank he forgot performed the procedure he had not yet installed. The flood was the FEATURE. [stern voiceover] MEN OF SCIENCE will note the harder lesson, filed the same day. Our man had stopped taking leaf temperature readings — because he was ALWAYS RIGHT. Minus three, every time, reliable as a church bell. Warm leaves in the morning? Thirst, surely. Filed. Dismissed. But you do not measure to be TOLD you are right, citizens. You measure to be told WHEN YOU ARE WRONG. And in this house the readings COMMAND THE MACHINES — so a wrong number does not sit quietly in a spreadsheet. IT GOES TO WORK. [gentle brass] We close on one final act of timing. On DAY EIGHTY-SIX of a NINETY-ONE-DAY RUN, the FAR-RED END-OF-DAY SIGNAL was at last moved — to the END OF THE DAY. "Bit late," our correspondent concedes. "Whoopzy." The chamber is cool. The colas are down. The floor has been mopped. And somewhere in a drawer, the controller configuration snapshots remain UNTAKEN — a loose end this program will be watching. [fanfare, film flickers out] THIS HAS BEEN THE FINAL DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. THREE FIELD REPORTS TO FOLLOW. RUN SIX AWAITS. EMPTY YOUR TANKS. GOODNIGHT. ----------------------- This has been a fun run and concludes my fifth cannabis grow cycle. Sure, the hours involved are off the charts in a home grow / lab setting, when optimizing existing protocols meets the introduction of new ones, and automation is financially unfeasible even on some basic levels. Empiric testing at home is too slow to win these battles, it is learning, deduction and formulation of thresholds that allows a home grower to partake in the finest results. So willingness to learn and troubleshoot are the only tools we have when money can't solve it: Two simultaneous nanner-events were managed during this run, pollen had been shed - no successful pollination occurred, nanner-production could be stopped and all product survived completely intact. | This event during ~ Week 7 was the single most stressful pivot, as the entire grow cycle hinged on the result. Total loss was now the first thought to wake up to every day, really killing the mood. Botrytis was identified correctly before the suspect entered the drying tent - to the point that I could experiment fairly safely by drying a botrytis-cola right next to all the clean product - and typing that sentence into a public blog afterwards. Later, a protocol was devised to distinguish infected material via % RH changes in secluded containers, before product got mixed in long-term storage. This was pretty awesome to learn about and definitely sharpened my perceptions. I could actually test a suspect cola and discard it, without opening up the bud at all (which I obviously did later as well). Drying at 16°C target under 30°C outside conditions was a huge success - and a MASSIVE pain to devise. A drying chamber whose product would need to cool a parallel grow tent was the answer - two linked AC's and "heavy decoration" of windows were absolutely necessary - and the measures turned out adequate. So, besides the workload, am I happy with this run? You bet! - facing total damnation twice 'n all. After growing for 1.5 years, I can finally rest on some of my protocols. That reduces stress, uncertainty, and buys me time for fun things to try. So, besides managing my downfall, I got to introduce my Terpene-Blue-Ray, a fairly simple prototype to encourage just the right kind of terpene accumulation. And above all - a bigger grow space to experience - no longer are my plants crammed into a tiny chamber that is surrounded by a machine park. I get to "work" in there as if I had rented an office for my project. --- Oh yeah, the plants! Dutch Passion's Auto Cinderella Jack, a cross of Jack Herer, is something of a sativa dream coming true to see unfold before your eyes. Big history, high in pinene (memory retention during daytime use) and a chance of a good spike of limonene (that neck cushion and sun-glasses feeling even under pressure) made her an ideal chase target for me. With her running -9 days behind the other cultivars, she took nutrient dosages intended for much older plants with a straight face, when they started to burn. She received higher light intensity and just had to "deal with it". She absolutely hated my HST-train-once intervention and completely changed her strategy as a result. She was the only plant without a soil sensor, water levels were "good guesses", so she also got waterlogged fairly hard during veg. Her response? Vigor, fury, lateral branching, flower sites all over. She could not be stopped, and I had to remove what felt like 2 smaller Autoflowers in bud sites from her. She is a record holder for me, more details in the strain reports. Thanks for your interest, I hope you could take something home from these journals. See you in run#6! - during which I have just massaged a 2 week old sad plant into praying for the first time.

Starting the sixth week of my ladies. Cleaning the bottom and removing the « suckers » (future popcorn buds at the basis) to get more energy to the top !

1/28/25 She has a very strong berry smell to her. Very different from her sisters 1/31/25 kinda late but i lollipopped a bunch of lower branches 2/3/25 downloaded the photone app and noticed the levels of par are very displaced and was able to raise the lights to get a better reading.

16/3 End of flowering looks set quite well

Two low branch broke off due to wind and stem wasnt stong enough for weight of the buds....other than that just a handful or two of defoliation every two day or so....makes trimming ez lol

Back to lst, my homemade scrog wasn’t too good so I decided to order a professional one for the next grow in the meanwhile I tide them back doing lst Also now they are really growing bigger and bigger Again not sure if I’m doing a good job only time will speak Got a microscope posted a pic and video of how my watermelon is doing with its flowers, the northern light is still not in full flower but its switching
