~ 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!💚😎🙏

Ultima semana de la etapa vegetativa, próxima semana empieza fotoperiodo 12/12 me impresiona la asimilación de nutrientes de la G13 que no muestra ninguna deficiencia y gran frondosidad, se hace destacar entre estas sativas una planta sumamente vigorosa con un crecimiento increíble tiene bien puesto su nombre. High Level 😍

Only 2 Pistles are showing very early flower. Plant doesn't seem to be getting any taller this is a genetic issue I think. Going to a different breeder next run. I think they are white label genetics.

Seeds from Humboldt Seed Company germinated faster, but Green House Seed Co. plants have been growing bigger so far...

Esta semana apesar de tener temp Máxima de 28... se va recuperando bien de las podas, el led de TodoGrowled funciona perfectamente para sus 55w farmers!🍁

The buds are forming! Changed to a nicer light recently, light is great, although my mars hydro 600w did me justice. This new one I got of amazon for under $100 is 1000 watt led and crushing it. It has increased temps significantly which is a bit tough for me to control given my tent is in a closet. Also it is starting to getting less humid outside, so I reduced airflow in the tent to keep the humidity at 50. I have a small humidifier coming soon (oddly a Corporate work gift lol).

Baby 8-11 week

Great first harvest. I took her out of the tent a little early but I'm still happy with the results. The last two days the plant was under total darkness. I will update with dry weight and more details of the nug in the next weeks. Just hung up the stalks to dry. Thanks to the people who helped with my fungus nat issue as well. Ended up with 107 grams of dry nugs, couldn't be happier. Can't wait for my new grows!😎00

Reviewing the plants i noted some small dots on the leaves which looked like typical bites from mites, so i sprayed some spidermite and we placed around 6 spical ulti-mite bags to prevent any further damage, lets hope it dont get worse but i think I've detected them just on time 😁 For the rest the plants are looking good, the buds are getting bigger and more thc is being produced 😁 we still have around 4 weeks to go 😅

Date: 07/04/2024 Illumination Activated! Anticipating your contemplative response 🤔, it is evident that a larger vessel is imperative for her growth trajectory, considering her current confines within a 19L container. The imminent requirement calls for a spacious 60L receptacle, especially for accommodating the root expansion of this 100% sativa cultivar, akin to cultivating three distinct plants. Rest assured, I am diligently addressing this necessity. My cognitive acuity now far surpasses any previous state, a veritable testament to heightened clarity and focus. Maybe more common sense than my pervious brain dulled 😑 Mid-day: The Train of Disframe I am perplexed by the presumptions some individuals harbor about their own identities, a realm from which I am keen to distance myself. I exemplify the valor to be met with disdain. I abstain from soliciting your allegiance or appreciation towards my creations. Subsequent to the fruition of these cultivation endeavors, their merit shall resonate independently. Should you be inclined to express admiration and allegiance, it brings me joy; conversely, indifference does not perturb me. My aspiration transcends superficial accolades; I envision forthcoming cultivators beholding my endeavors with awe akin to stargazing. "I have the courage to be disliked I'm beyond it" - End of Story 08/04/2024 I find myself amidst the transition to the flowering phase of cultivation, a process I previously jestingly referenced. In humbled reflection, I seek divine forgiveness for my momentary lapse in candor. In pursuing optimal nourishment for my botanical charge, I have meticulously curated a regimen involving the gradual escalation of Sensi Bloom feed to a maximum dosage of 4ml per liter, attuned to the specific needs of the plant. Embracing the role of a discerning steward, akin to a 'Plant Whisperer,' I am dedicated to orchestrating a harmonious symphony of growth and vitality within this verdant realm. 4inch Extractor Fan installed. "The Recurrence Vid" In the compelling narrative title, the strain Forgotten Haze Cakes, classified as a pure Sativa, luxuriates in ample space for vertical expansion during the inaugural fortnight of transitioning phases, courtesy of the employed cultivation methodology. By delicately leaving the initial set of lower big fan leaves, it'll anticipate discourage within the plant from branching and proliferation. In the vibrant realm of my sativa tent, where the verdant sentinels of growth flourish under the radiant canopy of light, a unique challenge presents itself – the absence of a means to monitor humidity levels. Despite this limitation, my steadfast dedication to the well-being of my botanical charges remains unwavering. As the sativa strains bask in the nurturing embrace of their environment, enveloped in a tapestry of vibrant hues and resplendent foliage, I adapt my stewardship with a blend of intuition and experience. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ⏸️ ▶️ "HUMIDITY" + "HUMILITY" = MILITARY! - This saga; can NOT , continue in the Military realm of Sativa" In the captivating narrative of cultivation, where the seeds of growth are sown with care and nourished with intention, a poignant reflection emerges – the distinction between "humidity" and "humility" reverberates with profound resonance. Within the intricate tapestry of botanical stewardship, the ethos of humility stands as a guiding principle, shaping the ethos of caretaking and nurturing. However, as the whimsical wordplay unfolds, the realm of the military - a stark and regimented domain - starkly contrasts with the delicate intricacies of the sativa realm. The sativa tent, with its vibrant tapestry of growth and vitality, thrives in a sanctuary where the essence of humility permeates the air, fostering a symbiotic relationship between caretaker and plant. Yet, the rigid confines of the military realm, with its structured hierarchy and discipline, stand in stark juxtaposition to the organic fluidity of the sativa's journey towards botanical magnificence. In this divergence of paths, the saga grapples with a fundamental incongruity, a dissonance that renders the blending of military precision with the ethereal essence of sativa cultivation an untenable pursuit. As such, the narrative must veer away from the militaristic paradigm, embracing instead a narrative that celebrates the organic harmony and symbiosis that defines the cultivation journey within the sativa realm. With reverence for the intrinsic beauty of growth and a deep-seated appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings, the saga pivots towards a narrative that honors the essence of humility, nurturing, and respect that underpin the art of cultivation. Through this recalibration of focus, the sativa tent emerges as a sanctuary of growth and renewal, where the ethos of humility reigns supreme, guiding the journey towards botanical excellence with grace and wisdom. In this realm where empirical data gives way to intuitive guidance, I rely on a finely tuned sensibility cultivated through years of tending to these green companions. Attuned to the subtle cues and nuances of their growth patterns, I navigate this uncharted territory with a blend of caution and ingenuity. While the absence of direct humidity readings may pose a challenge, my keen observation and intimate connection with the plants allow me to discern their needs with a heightened sense of awareness. As the delicate ballet of growth unfolds within the confines of the sativa tent, I embrace this unique opportunity to deepen my symbiotic relationship with Forgotten Haze Cakes. I will adapt my Military training skills with attentive care and a deep-seated understanding of their botanical language, I strive to create an environment that nurtures their flourishing without the aid of conventional metrics. This journey of cultivation, guided by intuition and nurtured by experience, embodies a union of art and science that transcends the boundaries of empirical data, fostering a connection that transcends the limitations of instrumentation. Feed Schedule ATM: 3.5.5ml/L = 66.6 Currently drinking 6L/24hrs 09/04/2024 Effective immediately; all photos taken during the flowering stage must only feature the plant with the lights on. Exceptions may be made in the case of serious incidents or issues that require documentation with the lights off or during mid-day. This protocol aims to ensure consistent monitoring and assessment of the plants' growth and health during this crucial stage. Thank you for your cooperation and adherence to this new guideline. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// - "The Singularity Expansion" - The Singularity Expansion in the realm of my botanical cultivation practices embodies a concept of unification and harmonization. Through meticulous research and thoughtful contemplation, I have elucidated a methodology that leverages singularity as a guiding principle. At the outset, the elements of my grow technique may appear disparate and disconnected, akin to a fragmented mosaic. However, as the cultivation journey unfolds, each component seamlessly converges towards a singular, coherent endpoint, transcending the initial chaos to manifest a harmonious and bountiful fruition. Singularity serves as the transformative force that orchestrates the convergence of diverse elements within my cultivation process, culminating in a cohesive and synchronized outcome that epitomizes unity and balance. 10/04/2024 ...... as the lights illuminated the verdant expanse of my botanical domain, I meticulously undertook the task of adjusting the colas. Engaged in a strategic battle of balance and precision, I ensured that the lush growth on both the left and right sides of the scrog remained impeccably level......currently still in PROGRESS of this battle! - "In navigating the realm of visual representation within my botanical narrative, a distinct dichotomy emerges between the untreated authenticity of unedited photographs, characterized by a vibrant green hue and crisp clarity, and the studio-enhanced counterparts which exhibit a washed-out white palette. Delving deeper into this juxtaposition, I find myself strategically oscillating between these two visual paradigms, recognizing the nuanced interplay between natural realism and heightened studio effects on my S23 Ultra device" - https://youtube.com/shorts/RngRlQwy4Hk WATCH OUT the Kangaroos About! Never mind that Double-O,7, I'm Double-7,0. 707. Amidst the luminous glow, as I embarked on another day of nurturing my botanical companions, a significant milestone unfolded within the realm of my cultivation journey. The arrival of pre-flowers signaled a crucial juncture, prompting a pre-warning to elevate the nutrient feed to meet the escalating demands of this transformative phase. With precision and care, I made meticulous adjustments to the scrog, ensuring the optimal positioning for these burgeoning blooms. The act of "fluffing her" symbolized a tender gesture of support, further enhancing the growth trajectory of my botanical charges. "The Recurrence Vid 2 -Pre Flowers" Upon a recent realization, it has come to light that she does not solely possess the traits of a 100% sativa strain. In a moment of introspection, the humorous realization surfaced that this misconception had taken root in my mind. Nonetheless, she retains her endearing moniker as "Forgotten Haze Cakes," a creation by the revered breeders TerpyZ X Kalyseeds. Acknowledging my humanity, I accept the occasional errors in judgment that may arise, understanding that such missteps are a common thread woven into the fabric of human experience, even among the most seasoned individuals. These moments of revelation serve as poignant reminders of our inherent fallibility, etching themselves into our memories as enduring lessons in growth and refinement. Additionally, it has been unveiled that "Forgotten Haze Cakes" is, in fact, a hybrid of Amnesia Haze "Hy-pro cut" and Vanilla White. This may explain a little depth to the botanical identity of this intriguing lanky plant, enriching the narrative of her genetic lineage. Anticipation brews within me as I eagerly await the unfolding of her growth journey, with fingers crossed in hope of witnessing her blossom into her full potential. Here is a sneak peek photo of her, a visual encapsulation of the promise and potential that lies ahead. The flowering stage presents a plethora of nuances and intricacies to marvel at and contemplate. 12/04/2024 Lights On: Budsites Adjusted Scrog slightly. Pre-Flowers On 13/04/2024, a gentle defoliation was carried out to clear away leaves that were obscuring younger bud sites. Additionally, the nutrient regimen was adjusted to incorporate Sensi Bloom at a concentration of 3.6.6 ml/l, with planned incremental adjustments up to 4ml/l as the flowers begin their enchanting journey towards full bloom. 1 hour after the lights were turned on, it was noted that the extractor fan may have been inadvertently disturbed during the defoliation process. This is evident from the slight drooping of the , likely influenced by both temperature fluctuations and the defoliation itself. Remember to always double-check the outlets after each session to ensure smooth operations. Few hours later.... Cropmaster installed/extra 4inch extractor fan attached! 14/04/2024 Undertook defoliation procedures and implemented certain modifications. In the previous evening, Cropmaster experienced LED malfunctions. Consequently, I have resorted to utilizing the Budmasters God 9 once again God.4 Mid-day: installed 60watt side light!

Grown outdoors no nutrients just tap water (about 1Gal/day) on the days with no rain... usually around noon when I can see them sag and the weather forecast doesn't predict rain for the rest of the day. I add Terpinator (30mL/Gal) when I water manually. •This week, since they're in full bloom and the weather cooperates (plants are outside and shouldn't rain for at least the next 24h) I will give them a dose of SuperThrive... 2020 was an exceptionally warm summer in Quebec.

Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done. Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏 On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk. I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁 On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms. I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out. That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍 That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁
