This will be a bit of a challenge, one of the LCC is 45cm while the others are 25cm. I gave them little ramps to keep canopy even and all 3 are still looking healthy.

~ 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: 8/3- After eleven weeks in veg the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod has finally stopped stretching and I think that this girl's getting ready to transition into flower thank goodness! Our weather has moderated somewhat with daytime high temp's now in the 89-93℉ range but it still remains very dry requiring the daily watering to continue. 8/5- Today I watered the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod as usual at sunset with around 8g of well water from the garden hose. 8/7- We finally have some much needed rain on the way in the way of a tropical system which will be bringing on and off showers from today through the 9th. As a result of this gift from above I will not have to water the rest of this week! I am going to add a 7 foot support stake next to the plant to help support her if we should get any high winds. 8/9- I'm thankful for the support stake that I installed next to the plant, then tied the plant to it as we encountered pretty strong winds yesterday and I think that without the stake, the plant may have gotten knocked over! The rain is supposed to end this evening and be sunny tomorrow so I'll be outside first thing in the morning to check on the plant to see how she made out through the storms. Hopefully next week the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod by FastBuds will be shifting gears and then the fun can begin!!! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Вторая неделя прошоа на мой взгляд удачно. Один раз случайно перелил, но растиха быстро отшла. В целом полёт нориальный, видимость отличная, поводадля беспокойства нет. Увидимся на следующей недели😀

Nach 63 Tagen Blüte und 2 Tage vollkommener Dunkelheit ging es den kleinen nun an den Kragen und sie wurden zum trocknen aufgehangen. Der Duft der Permanent Marker und der Dante ähneln sich sehr, wobei die Dante mehr in die fruchtige Richtung abdriftet, die Permanent hingegen bleibt bei dem Duft von Gas, Diesel und verdünnung. Die Buds der Permanent Marker sind diesmal wesentlich größer und fester als beim vorherigen Grow. Freue mich darauf wenn geschnitten wird und ich die fertigen Buds probieren und präsentieren darf.

Я так и не понял FastBuds, может потому что в моей стране война, каждый день были ракетные обстрелы и я не смог нормально выращивать. Обновления 13.05.2023 русские террористы продолжают убивать мирных людей. Очередной ракетный обстрел Украины 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦. Моё утро началось не с кофе а из 13 взрывов ракет. россия и русские это террористы, убийцы, преступники.

Hey fellow growers back with week 6 update of my 420fastbuds "Blue Dream" grow. Well everythingwas going smooth until i tried to install an lst clip on Blue dream #4 and accidentally hst trained the whole top half of the plant!!! She has recovered and knuckled up nicely but it did slow down growth. I am noticing also that she is lightning in color. So I'll be giving her some nitrogen on the next feed to get her happy again! Im hoping its do 2 having to repair herself. I also fucked up and didn't water for 6 days... which may also be a culprit to my lightning plant. So this has been the feed for these ladies 4 the last week... 1/16/2022 6.3 ph water Solution temp 73.0°F 1/22/2021 1/2ml cal mag 2ml micro 1ml gro 2ml bloom 3/4ml ph down Ph 6.36 480ppm Solution temp 73.2°F Well guys I'm gonna get back at it and see if I can save my relationship with my lightning lady!! Till next week growmie's stay zooted!! Best of luck and Happy Growing!!😎🤟🏻👊🏼🌱💚💪🏻💪🏻💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fat Bastard sure looks pretty fat👍 I'll try drying for at least a week with both temp and humidity between 55-60. I may go check the wet weight, but😕 I'm curious to see how fat bastard turns out. Smells skunky/sweet-fruity, can't wait. Hung a wet towel in the closet to help keep the humidity up there and it seems to be working.

2/4: Photo session day! The squattier of the two picked up a lot less of the sativa genes. She's gonna be shorter, but she's in a big hurry compared to her lankier sister. The taller one, like most other sativa dominant strains I've grown, really doesn't like being fed so often. At this point, I'll probably just feed her every other feeding day, and on plain watering days I'll give her cal-mag and flavor/terpene enhancers, and maybe a little beastie bloomz. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today except these girls and my two #3's..they usually protest after a full-strength feeding. I just gave them water with cal-mag, bembe, signal, humic acid, and a little Open Sesame. I also sprayed everybody down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time today. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls are a much lighter shade of green than anybody else in the garden. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: Now they look deficient in N and K...ffs! I'll go back to feeding them with everyone else, but will make up a batch of weaker nutes for them. I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's not cooler than 72f, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

Week 5 Day 30 Ladys are happy and beginning to stretch, I think trainwreck gonna be the tallest. Cinderella Jack still vegginng, but I think next week she gonna flower. Blue Dream started to flower too, but the broken mainstem stunted her bad. The mainstem are smaller than the sidebranches. Lemon Zkittlez is the strongest till now, she's growed a perfect symmetry with good sidebranches,but we will see hows they're looking in the end. Updates coming 💪🏼 Day 32 Man these girls filling out the tent and they don't even stretched. 6 are definitely to much 😅 Day 33 Did a light defolation just some Future popcorn buds. I dont want to stress them so much cause they are in stretching phase. Trainwreck is the biggest and brightess from the 4 mains. The early LST showing right now. Orange Sherbet gonna be the first one to harvest again I think. She's starting to fill up the buds now. All of the lady's showing signs of stress at the tops. I backed up the lamp and dimmed her back to 60 %. This was Lightstress I think, cause the lady's recovered at the next day. Gonna bring the lamp to 100% at week 2-3 of flower. Day 35 Man the plant growed to big. I haven't enough space for them and they don't even finish. The humidity got a bit to high that's why I defolated all lady's. I hope that don't stunt them to much, cause they were to bushy. We will see how they develop at the end. The next run I gonna go for 4 lady's again.

So it has come to an end of the 5th week of flowering . In this week i changed my reservoir for the first time. I spend more time monitoring the change of the reservoir and found out that the ppm of it was higher than the initial value. When i premix the solution it was around 850ppm but when i added it to the medium within 2 days it jumped to 1300-1400 . That caused a slight nutes burn but it was very mild. The other thing i found out is that the ph tends to become lower when it is added to the medium , i found some deficiencies on the leaves and i knew immediately that my ph was messed up. There are three things that i don’t really understand what i did wrong . 1.The size of the buds , since it is the end of week 5 into flowering . The buds seems underdeveloped compared to others. 2. I can’t see any trichomes clearly yet (very few) 3.why do i have a lot of sugar leaves and lots of small buds instead of few big buds. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
