Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

Week 4 Fattening up. Smell is strong, straight candy. Purple coming through already. Final defoliation in a couple days. Now it's time to pack on some weight.

This girl is purpling out I guess because of the weather. She a beauty and she has seeds from the male Durban Skunk…these should be some amazing seeds I await her taste when she is ripe.

Transplanted into final 5 gal. fabric pits. with LOTS of good root growth. Bottom half of pots are homebrew super soil, with the top half being mix of HPCC promix and worm castings. More to come!

Big one got 4L last time and the other one 3L still. i think they want more fertilizer because i was a bit careful this time with it. thank god the temperatures are lower this week so i can maintain 26 degrees. buds thicken up good and i have spotted the first amber trichomes. ill still leave it for around 14 days.

Flowering came from out of nowhere but I am glad to see it. All of my readings for the plants as far as TDS and pH are pretty dialed in. We've been having a lot of rainstorms on the East coast which has been driving the humidity up like crazy also on the bloom light has raised the temperature in the tent (the temperatures have been running around 79 degrees during the daytime which is causing a bit of heat stress). I've been scouring the internet for dehumidifiers however I've restrained from any purchases because of budgetary reasons. If you recommend a humidifier please put it in my comments! The plants are looking really good and I plan on supplementing with CO2 soon and possibly a bloom supplement; Make sure you check out my IG page @KS_Kultivation and let the girls know that you are rooting for them. -ksk

June 17: The garden area had just under 3 inches (75mm) of rain in the past week which was really needed. Temps have been mid teens to low 20s deg C. The wind has been relentless and the plants continue to take a beating. Overall pleased with the growth but some concern, because preflowers are showing, they may be stunted and flowering early (due to environmental stress).

Week 1 in the books and starting to give her a little nutrients. Starting off light and gradually increasing nutrients each time. Im going to feed every other watering until I have enough to get runoff and then I will be constantly checking with the ppm meter. She's off to a great start. Light got moved a little closer and dimmer is now at 60%.

I really enjoyed being able to show others my work and the ability to always remain a student of the game. I plan on doing another grow soon

Moved GorCookie to her own 3x3x6 as the 2x2x4 just was not gonna holder her any more. Cherry will stay in her 2x2 she still has not shown signs of flowering yet.

Quick little video tour today. I'll sort a proper detailed update a little later this evening ☺️ 🌱✌️😉🤘🌱 Front row, left to right: Phantom OG, Wedding Cake Auto, G13 x Blueberry Headband. Back row, left to right: Glookies, Ayahuasca Purple, Peyote Cookies. The only girls receiving the Force nutrient are the Glookies and the Wedding Cake Auto but from now on, I'll only be feeding them plain water to cleanse them as much as possible before harvest. The rest of them still have a couple more weeks of feed before changing anything else 😎

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 5/2- Here we go into the fifth week for the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower from FastBuds. Our weather is finally beginning to warm up and you can start to see it in the GG4 Sherbet FF as she is beginning to 'wake up'. 5/4- I have yet to see any insects either on top of, or underneath her leaves to determine what's causing the perforations on her leaves. I went ahead and sprayed her down with Neem oil and I'll keep an eye out to try and determine what the culprit is. 5/6- Rain showers today handled the watering duties and all I did was to add some straw to a couple of bare spots on the mound. 5/8- I'm not seeing much in the way of any new damage to the leaves of the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF. I will continue with the Neem oil preventative, along with spreading some powdered cayenne pepper around the base of the plant to take care of any slugs that may think of trying a taste of sherbet! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Got my seed on Friday 22nd last week soaked and germinated in two days I placed in soil 24th first leaves on the 26th and today is the 28th haven't used any nutrients not sure if I will but I made some organic bat poo tea and I'll be feeding her with this .....

Nothing to do now only be patient

The odd amber tric is showing up, given her the first flush today, filtered water at 24 PPM ph 6.8: flushed her with 3 litres. Leaves starting to yellow expecting them to really yellow off this week. Smells of berries, baked cheesecake and pine

Will post more pictures and thoughts after, it’s done drying and curing

This week in our organic grow we are introducing Fox Farms beastie blooms into the garden to help initiate flower production and to help boost up the nutrients the plant is receiving as all “feedings” are beneficial teas.
