~ 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!💚😎🙏

Diese Woche lief alles Problemlos. Dem Haupttrieb wurden weiterhin immer wieder die Sonnensegel entfernt und es wurde ein bißchen LST gemacht um die Fläche etwas besser auszunutzen. Es gab ein Orgatrex / Baktrex Topdressing und prophylaktisch gab es noch mal Culinex gegen Trauermücken.

This week she has grown so tall. I am so regretful for not scrog’in her or done any low stress training.
Although I do have a nice size tent with the grow light on adjustable rope so it’s not that much of a problem.
Although when I flip her to 12/12 into flower I know she’s gonna stretch even more.
The size of her leafs are impressive.
I read that your not meant to use biobizz grow and fish mix at the same time but I went against it and she’s showing no signs of stress or nutrition problems.
I even have an 11 fingered leaf now!!
She is beginning to smell very nice too, so all good so far. Can’t wait till she packs on some bud now.

Las veo creciendo bien sanas. Le aumentaré 2 horas más de luz para que crezcan lo máximo posible y aprovechar este tipo de Led.
Durante las semanas estuve aplicando un estimulando de raíz BioBizz y se han ido afirmado a la tierra de buena manera.
Además, encendí el ventilador de pinza en baja potencia para crear una suave corriente de aire.

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur 26. und damit zu meiner letzten Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts!
Was war das für eine Reise, liebe Growcommunity, von Höhen bis Tiefen war alles dabei …😁
Nachdem letzte Woche fast alle Pflanzen gefällt wurden, ist heute der Lemon Tree dran.
Die Ernte-Reports lade ich im Laufe der nächsten Tage hoch, da ich immer noch eine Kleinigkeit zu den einzelnen Strains und ihrem Anbauverhalten schreiben möchte. In diesem Report möchte ich die Saison noch einmal kurz Revue passieren lassen und eine kleine Aussicht auf zukünftige Projekte geben.
Zur Saison:
Was anfangs mit einem Indoor-Disaster begann, hat sich über den doch an manchen Stellen (mal wieder) eher bescheidenen Sommer zu einem doch ganz passablen Ernteergebnis mit 7(9) doch sehr unterschiedlichen und auf ihre Art besonderen Genetiken entwickelt.
Ich habe diese 26 Wochen viel ausprobiert und doch echt noch eine ganze Menge über diese vielseitige Pflanze gelernt (und das, obwohl ich den Spaß schon ein bisschen mache).
Und trotz allem werde ich. Ich werde mich doch wahrscheinlich etwas aus dem Outdoor-Game zurückziehen und das hat folgende Gründe: Ein entscheidender Punkt ist einfach der Grund, dass man wenig bis gar keinen Einfluss auf die Witterung hat und nie wirklich das volle Potenzial der Genetiken ausschöpfen kann. Sei es unerwarteter Regen, zu kalte Nächte oder der gute alte Sturm. Die Kombination mit der langen Kultivierungszeit ist doch oft eher mit Glücksspiel verbunden. Des Weiteren werde ich für die kommende Saison umziehen und den Spot (der wirklich die möglichst optimalen Bedingungen schafft) erst mal nicht bespielen. Zudem ergeben sich für das kommende Jahr viele Veränderungen und ich werde wahrscheinlich nicht die Zeit für so ein Projekt haben. Aber wir werden sehen...
Was ich auf jeden Fall beibehalten werde, sind diese kleinen Reports jede Woche und der Austausch mit den Leuten auf dieser Seite. Ich habe mich über jede Rückmeldung eurerseits gefreut sowie über das wirklich positive Feedback. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei euch allen bedanken, dass ihr mich auf diesem Weg begleitet habt, und hoffe, ihr hattet dabei genauso viel Spaß wie ich. Wenn der ein oder andere noch etwas mitnehmen konnte, noch besser!😊
In der Zukunft wird es hier (Stand jetzt) eher in Richtung Indoor/Living gehen. Einfach weil man mehr Einfluss auf die Klimaparameter hat und schlichtweg mehr aus den Genetiken rausholen kann (zumindest bei solchen Sommern wie diesem und letztem).
Was die Genetiken angeht, wird es spannend bleiben. Während dieser Bericht lief, habe ich im Hintergrund fleißig Seeds gehortet. Und so haben sich das ein oder andere Päckchen aus dem Hause Karma Genetics (dem Master of Sours) sowie sq1 genetics + deren Schwesterfirma Robin Hood Seeds zu der Sammlung gesellt. Ob es jetzt genau die werden (oder doch eine von den gefühlt 2000 anderen Packs), kann ich euch allerdings noch nicht versprechen.😁
Ich denke auch darüber nach, mir einen Instagram-Account für Bilder und Videos in einer besseren Auflösung zu erstellen (nichts für ungut, Grow Diaries, aber manchmal sehen die Bilder aus, als hätte man sie mit einer versteckten Kamera aufgenommen). Aber was man so hört, bringt Instagram da auch seine Tücken mit sich. Aber auch hier werden wir sehen …
Da ich keinen richtigen Ernteslot für die Blueberry sowie die Theia S1 habe. Füge ich sie diesem Bericht bei.
Ein bisschen traurig bin ich ja schon, dass es jetzt zu Ende geht, aber gedanklich bin ich ehrlich gesagt schon bei der Planung neuer Projekte (man muss ja in Bewegung bleiben). Ich will einige Sachen in meinem Bericht stilistisch verändern, sowie die Aufbereitung der Berichte. Für den Anfang bin ich aber ganz zufrieden.
Das soll es ein letztes Mal gewesen sein ( das klingt so endgültig, ist es aber nicht). Noch einmal ein großes Dankeschön an jeden, der das hier begleitet hat. Mögt ihr immer eure Traum-VPD halten und dem Schimmel fernbleiben …😊
Peace!!

Harvested GP#2 on week 12. Hung it up and dried at 70 degrees and 60% humidity for 10 days.
Total weight after dried and trimmed is 8.3 ounces. They are currently curing in two half pound grove bags.
This specific gorilla punch was great to grow. There wasn’t much defoliation required and with her sitting at almost 4 feet tall there wasn’t much larf at all.
Pictures provided were taken right before she was put in 48 hours of darkness. Video was taken after a week of curing.

Thank you for reading I will continue to update once they are drying and ready for cure.
I have cut down in jar everything the wait was 91 grams please consider that when they comes to my scale weight i wait until the main stem breaks with a loud crunch and the buds are really dry to the touch reason for it I have a very busy life and at the end of the day this is just a hobby so I cannot be opening those jars many times a day at most one in the morning and one in night so I want to avoid mold on them.so I push in a Boveda pack to keep them nice.
After three weeks in jar that smell has incremented a lot be aware if where you are it's not allowed to smoke because once you open that bag or container everybody knows you open one of those buds it is incredibly powerful smoke and it is very very smooth great strain to have.

This was a big week of defoliating and lollipopping,,being that from pinning her down,,,and her laterals becoming their own leaders,,i have excess tops to work with,,which brings plenty of defoliating to keep the Bud sights with as much air and lumens drenching them,,
It’s time to sit back and watch the grass grow

Yesterday, I transplanted the "Puddin" into 30 L Growingpot, and took her into the
urban Chili
She had grown out her prevouis airpot well, and showed lots of wonderful Roots
I used a Peatfree, organic Growingsoil, I hope it works well
But the description sounded well
Good Ph, prefertilised ( EC 1,6)
with coco , perlite and woodrasps, for drainage
andadded mycelium
I gave some " living Organics" into the Planthole, and added Living Organics into
the water. so all the medium gets enough microbacterias
So far so good, in last case i topped her multiple
to spread the canopy for later training
_stay courious_
2021-11-10
After the trining plant remains droopy, idk?... whats going on
maybe i watered to much we will see
I trained her with LST Supercropping and Topping
Topping goes on ontil I have at least 16 Colas to make a nice ring

Welcome to week 3 of my White Truffle grow!
At the end of week 2 she’s been topped above the third node. She has needed a day of recovery but the day after she continued to grow visibly.
The main stem seems already strong, the branches are still flexible enough to start training the plant a little. In the next few days I will start to bend the side branches and trying to fill up the tent nicely.
One of the top branches snapped a little, which I will have an additional eye on. I’m also also trying to keep the first nodes and how they develop in the next weeks, otherwise I will cut them when I start to defoliate.

16.4.25:
I have retied the fabric ties again, as they're growing like crazy. Trying to open up the plant, to grow out as well as up. This will also create new colas.
At this stage, I'm trying not to over fertilise like I did with the last grow.
Focusing on Cal-Mag amino acids and Mega Crop Part A.
The medium is my custom super soil, which is already fertilised with Ecothrive dry amendments. So I could just add water. However, as we've already run into deficiency, that would be careless.
I find it easy to keep an eye on the plants and carefully inspect them daily to act quickly when issues arise.
Learning how to determine the issue is what I'm still learning, which is the hard part 😅
It's all fun though, and I'm really enjoying this grow with all the toppings and FIMs. So far so good!
23.4.25:
I hope everyone had a great 420!
Fastbuds Mystery seed #1 is doing well, she has stayed bushier relative to the RQS Northern Lights, also there has not been so much growth.
The bud sites are developing well and have tight internodal spacing.
I'm determining when to relax the LST as we are now in the beginning of week 3 flower. I do have height. However, I'd like to keep it reasonable. You never know when they will stop growing.
I'm not really adjusting any ties since the last time.
I have also noticed that there are signs of Nitrogen excess. Instead of Mega Crop Part A and Cal-Mag amino acids, I will use Bud explosion PK booster with the Cal-Mag. This will make the N5 the only Nitrogen being given.
It still may be too much, but will monitor closely to see the effect this change will make, if any.
Balancing the nutrients is very important for me to learn, and it's going to be an ongoing process.
I watered today with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients:
♡ 1/2 Tsp of Bud Explosion PK booster by Greenleaf nutrients
♡ 5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients
23.4.25:
Plant seemed to be drinking heavily, so I watered again with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with;-
♡ 2.5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients, and
♡ Ecothrive Biosys 1/8 tsp.
I removed the plant ties and retied the plant after watering.
Less ties are necessary as the plant has moulded and stayed in that structure.
Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out

Day 36 flowering: Good afternoon growmies.
This week has been a dream to watch happen , each of the plants has really put effort onto stacking the buds and getting into light positive positions.
Six-shooter is the pygmy still unhappy been moved under the tsl2000 now so will get more direct light. I did a light defol on her to lose the bushiness she was showing. it is easier to see her potential now and I can work towards keeping her in productive phase. She jas some nice stacking already with very shaggy looking bud structures, should make an interesting finish.
Strawberry Pie has continued to push budlets out all over the place. she does have fairly long node gaps and filling them out will be a task but i feel she will be more clumps of buds on stems than the donkey dick colas.
Mexican Airline is pushing for star of the grow withbjer efforts. She has really took off now and her many many buds are starting to gain a great size for early flowering and stacking up really well too. its early days but i think she will be the plant to beat for yield...
They are feeding really well and I amended the living soil this week with some charge and life-cycle. This should support life in the pots and further nute production alongside the megacrop/shogun . I am trying to find a balance using l.o.s and megacrop to keep them both actively feeding rather than the los "switching off" from the additional added. Megacrop is not a usual sodium based fertilised and is root ready as it hits the pot so shouldn't hang around in the soil like others would. I donhabe slight lead burn from the strength so will pull back on dosage a little.
I do love how willing Fast buds autos are to go big !
The next weeks will be interesting to watch I hope now we are getting to the juicy bits. Who doesn't love a mid/late flowering cycle.? lol
Be safe and well growmies
