~ 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: 10/6- Well here it is, the 8th and final week for the Papaya Sherbet Fem Photoperiod from FastBuds! 10/8- I am checking the Papaya Sherbet's trichomes every day now and they are just about perfect. I anticipate that it will be harvest time any day now, weather permitting. 10/11- After doing a final check of the trichomes on the Papaya Sherbet this afternoon and checking out our weather forecast, I decided that I will be taking her down early tomorrow morning before the sun comes up. 10/12- Today is CHOP DAY for the Papaya Sherbet Fem Photo! After checking over the flowers yesterday I decided that today is the day as I wanted to avoid any further chances of Boytris ruining more flowers. I got up early, before sunrise and took her down branch by branch which were then hung in my 'drying room' to begin the drying/curing process! This has been a interesting and educational journey for me and I hope that my experiences may help someone else in their garden... See you at the Harvest Report! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Temperature, humidity, and soil are the average for the week. These get well water and it's about 50° and 7.2-7.6 ph. They're fastbuds and they can handle it. I added 20ml coop poop, 20ml Jobe's, and 15ml blood meal as a top dressing on day 1 this Week. I only added a pinch near the stem. The remainder was spread evenly in a circle to the outer edge of soil. The listed dry nutrients above are measure in ml/gallon of soil. Everything did good this week. The 38° nights at the end of this week brought out some color in the new growth. The higher pH in the soil is slowing down iron uptake. I fed them a mixture of 8ml biomin iron per gallon of water on day 7

Nov/21 She grew like crazy. Big green fan leaves coming in. Branches are growing strong. Smell is starting to get intoxicating. i finally got over my habit of nervous watering and am feeding the girls way less and they're happy. Cant wait to flip this girl to flower. No problems this week at all. 11/29 Shes growing ok. Green and healthy branches and leaves. She growing more like a sativa, sativa hybrid tall and branchy, manageable fan leaves but because of that she started to get some light burn. Dont have my tent yet so i cant adjust my light any higher so i tried to lower the plant down a little So hoping she can do without super direct light for another day or so. Other than that shes looking healthy. (some of this is the same as White Widow diary) 11/30 It wouldn't let me do veg and flower in the same week on the diary so i just split it up in here. Two busy days. Tent came i!! which im super excited about because now i flip the girls to flower. It wouldnt let me do veg and flower in the same week on the diary so i just split it up in here. I spent tuesday putting the tent together and dropped a video of the new setup because im REALLY excited about. got the ladies nice and cozy. Started them on 12/12. Its my first time on an indoor grow so i hope it works out well Shes super healthy. Super green leaves are big stems are thick everything is a lovely dark green i can smell it more because theyre tented now. but it looks great. 12/1 topped dressed with some happy frog soil I couldnt add the castings amount in the thing above So ill say i mixed about a quarter of the amount of soil into about 1 to 2 gallons of top soil i had some down to earth dry amendments i mixed in with that soil as well. i couldnt tell how much soil exactly. I only put in 5 tsp of great white instead of the recommended 7 because i switched the bloom nutes and i didnt wanna over do it i couldnt tell how much soil exactly. Fed them some flowering nutes, but cut back on the amount of nutes by a lot. Decided im going to just follow what biobizz instructions say from now on so apparently less is better. started the bloom and the top max kept everything else the same and cut out the fish mix for flower, added great white at the end. Defoliated the bottom few branches and cleaned any growth at wasnt going to produce. Nothing to major. 12/2 Temp of tent is steady at 70, 71 degrees. thats a little bit lower than id like but ill figure out something in the next few days. Took the bottom branches and leaves the night before and Wanted to give it a night of rest before i defoliated the big leaves. Took most of them off but left the few at the top of the plant. Looking extremely green. Hoping i get to see some pistils soon.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de vida de estas Black muffin F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, de las 4 plantas, me quedaré con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

6/ 1AM MONDAY Slowing down now, they look good. 6am light watt down to about 90W. Should be good for the last week of just water 5.7. Calibrated 3 pH meters 2 yellow pretty good. More expensive Orange VIVOSUN was garbage. Only buy cheap ones 6/3 238pm I might take them all down and re-use the dirt into a 3 gallon fabric pot because I have a Fsst Buds Gorilla Cookies that looks like she could be HUGE if I move her. These seemed to have maxed out. 7z is the most beautiful, she is like a fountain of champagne!!!!!! Frost Banger is leafy, not big buds, not much smell and Purple Haze has a really heavy smell I dont want to lose. I will get a little less than an ounce from each, pretty small harvest but this is still experimenting with smaller than usual pots, MABYE 2 GALLONS IS THE SWEET SPOT, I will try on the next grow. 6/4 230AM they are slowing down now. I could go for 1 month or 2 longer but I will lose flavor if I do. so JUST WATER from now on. Then chop and use the dirt from these 3 to plant one 3 gallon Gorilla Cookies from a parallel grow in Tent 1. 4am They seem to be at peak flavor......MUST NOT KEEP GOING..... I will chop this week. I want them to dry out, then a flush of just water to rinse the soil for the next grow. Now I prep the soil for the next grow. All into a 3 gallon fabric pot with G.C. From FAST BUDS, that has the most potential harvest with 100% re-used soil. Senysem and Tasty Terps will be the final since as they replace all enzymes and growth engines for the next plant. Im doing Elon fast turnaround rocket grows!! with robot grow tents!! 6/5 5am SENSIZYM 2mL L & TASTY TERPS 0.5mL L, 6.1PH. 🚨 Tent REDESIGN..... the surge protector is a source of heat, so are the USB adapters for the fans and cameras... MAYBE ....cut opening, move ALL electrical outside and feed usb cables through the arms then seal off... Cut through the tent or sting cables up the arms and cut the ducting, probably easier to cut a port in the ducting. 10am SENSIZYM TASTY TERPS One turns debris into simple sugars and TT eats the sugars and give a big boost of resin/flavor. 2L of water 4ML S. 1ml TT......PERFECT RATIO.... Using this mix was perfect timing. S will liquify debris TT will provide the amino acid/enzymes eating part. Beautiful response.. THEN I put the new light in and at the same watt too bright for the plants in there, I experienced at 93 watts and they are stressed....better luck next time.... goddmanit 6/6/2025 1222am New light to 90 plants on Custom built risers, 48oz cottage cheese containers from Ralphs work great, and double as a cleaning bucket....geenis the smart me are 6/7 520am they have peaked in flavor and I think they’re ready to be taken down. because of the soil bugs I don’t think it’s a good idea to reuse the soil. It seems pretty contaminated which is a real bummer and I don’t have the resources to rinse the soil in hydrogen peroxide and go through all the sterilization and I could just end up getting bugs all over the place or the egg something like that it will contaminate the room. It’s the reason I do not grow food or other plants in the medical marijuana room I also use that room as a filter for the house. The 6 dust & 3 carbon filters are on all the time so I always have one room that has some very clean air. I can’t spend a lot cause it’s not good for your human body to be an sterile environment like that for too long & body heat warms the room 2 degrees 240pm Marshal, Will and Holly never came back, so im going to go ahead and eat their food. Plants are doing great. Sleestacks started showing up asking for weed for some reason. 6/8/25 9:02am BIG FINIsH!!!!!❤️❤️💥💥🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰🔔🔔🔔🔔🎉🎊🎊🚨💥🚨💥👍👍. ALL DONE I DID IT!!!! START TO FINISH, I ACTUALLY DID IT!!!! SMALL PLANTS ROCK WHEN IT COMES TO TRIMMING AND FINISHING RINSES AND STORAGE.....I FLUSHED ALL PLANTS WITH A GALLON OF PH5.9....THEN TRIMMED AND REMOVED FAN LEAVS ALL PRETTY, NOW JUST TO DRY THE PLANT ON THE VINE IN THE TENT, THEN CHOP, INTO DRYING TENT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN INTO TERPLOC BAGS!!!!! 1130am. FROST BANGER AUTO. -- 8-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME!! VERY SHORT!!! NICE IN SMALL SPACES She is very leafy, likes bigger container than I use, she doesnt need much nutrient work bare minimum she holds lots of nutrients in her system. PURPLE HAZE AUTO 8-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME! Medium hight VERY heavy smell the heaviest smell out of this and 7Z and FROST BANGER AUTO. Chuncky build not too leafy. 7Z AUTO 9-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME! She was the MOST beautiful This is the one for show.....She looks like a CHAMPAGNE FOUNTAIN!!!!! I have not seen this before, massive pistil formation for the bubbles look.... I REALLY like this one, In a bigger pot topped would look just amazing!!!!! HOLY SMOLYl....I typed the review for tommorow!!!!!!! I HAVE to be awake at midnight for MONDAY HARVEST!!!!!!! I have lost about 2/3 of my body mass, not much of me left. I wont be around much longer kids. 6/10 1050pm 7Z.....just took a little from the bottom branch. PERFECT, she turned out perfect. 1130pm I can not figure out taste but it feels fresh, smooth, clean, refreshing.. Smoke is clean, ash is clean, water in the bong is not as yellow not as many left over nutrients....love it, will get more. 10 + 1 7Z just for beauty and smooth not disgusting overpowering high, just right!!!! 6/11 1230am getting more grovebags TerpLoc bags.....FROM THEIR WEBSITE...EVERYTHING ELSE IS FAKE. 143AM GC 🚨🚨 TOP REDSIGN. NODE 5 & 6 HAVE 2 EXTRA BUD SITES.... I USUALLY TOP AT 3 OR 4 AND THEN TRIM OFF NODE 1 DEPENDING ON MAIN STALK HEIGHT, EASIER TO WATER AND MAINTIAN. BUT I CUT OFF NODE 1 THRU 4 AND LEFT MAIN COLA. INVERTED TOP??? SHE IS GIVING ME IDAS.... I WILL TOP GOAT AND GROW AT NODE 5 & 6 GOAT 2 WILL BE TOPPED AT NODE 4 & 4.....🚨🚨

just filling up nutrient solution, adjusting light and took some small leafs away. Easy grow until now. Hope it stays this way and getting a nice purple pheno. Ordered a fan to get some air movement inside the tent. When the leafs lay on top of each other you get wet spots. Hope it arrvies soon. Update 27.06 Fan arrived and also Plagron Green Sensation and Power Buds. Used 1ml/L. Will Change the whole solution next Weekend. ————————— Deutsch Nur Nährlösung aufgefüllt, Lampenabstand geregelt, ca 35cm und ein paar kleinere Blätter entfernt. Düngeschema wie bisher. Bis jetzt läuft alles glatt, hoffe bekomme nen schönen purple Phänotyp. Einen Clipventilator bestellt für ein wenig mehr Luftbewegung wenn die Blattmasse zu dicht wird und aufeinander aufliegt. Es bilden sich dort sonst feuchte Stellen. Hoffe der kommt morgen wenn DHL es nicht vermasselt. Update 27.06.: Ventilator ist da und dazu Plagron Power Buds und Green Sensation, 1ml pro Liter direkt in den Eimer gegeben. Tausche die gesamte Lösung nächstes Wochenende.
