Time to place the plant 2 days in their dark before harvest

~ 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: 7/25- Well folks... Here we go into the first full week of flower for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and this lady is not holding back! The weather continues to be hot and dry, with only an occasional passing rain shower maybe once a week, and as a result the daily watering continues after sunset. 7/27- The GG4 Sherbet FF is pretty much on autopilot now. All I'm doing is regularly watering her and checking daily throughout her foliage for yellow or dead shade leaves that I remove. 7/29- Passing showers all day yesterday took care of my watering duties, which resumed today with 5g of well water from the garden hose after the sun went down. 7/31- With thirteen days in flower behind her, the GG4 Sherbet FF is only going to get more impressive as the weeks go by now and I can't wait!🤩 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Last week for these 3 remaining Runtzz I flushed them 4 days ago with flawless finish they had 2 feeds of flawless so far 1 more and then we chop them on Tuesday. Will be doing 10-15 days drying in a 3x3. Looking very frosty all 3 of these now orange hairs all curled and looks like they have packed out really well! The smell when you open the tent is heaven!! Old school bud smells! The journey is nearly fully complete! 😎😎😎😎 Will post harvest pics of these 3 on the next update! 12/05/25 Last 3 have been chopped and are now drying

The germination process was successful. Within 36 hours the root sprouted from the seed shell.

Day 2... Defoliation.. Bud growing nicely

She's done! Whew! I can say that this wasn't my easiest grow. She had some issues in the beginning, due to over fertilizing (see diary) but she managed to produce some beautiful crystallized nuggets. I flushed her for a week but she looked so ready, and she's so loud, I had to chop her down. Stay tuned for the smoke report.

End of week 7(day 50 to be exact). Her buds are starting to put on lots of mass. At this point only the buds in the center of the scrog are still upright on their own. I backed down on my light intensity a bit (on day 46) as she started to foxtail on me a little. Was running about 1600par in the convergence area between the two lights and about 900 on the edges. Backed the lights down to about 550(center) and 375(edges). She has been liking it and has stopped yellowing. She will be on this light intensity for the last couple of weeks. Trichomes are still mostly clear with a few cloudy/amber, so she will definitely be going the full 10 weeks. I backed down to half strengrh on her feed and added a good dose of epsome salt to give her a mag/sulfur boost ti promote ripening. She smells amazing. Earthy dank with a strong overtone of fruit. This pheno will be a breed mother for me in a couple of runs. The best clone is going to a homie's place to be kept in veg. He wants to run her too so we will take cuttings for cycles at his place and i will later when im ready to cross her.

The Blackberry auto by Fastbuds has been a thrilling plant to grow. Starting off as a tri-cotyledon seedling, she's been a rush from the start. When she came out mutated I didn't even know if I wanted to keep her; I asked the growdiaries.com community for help. After speaking with a few experts I decided to keep it and see what would happen.. Since then she has developed thick healthy stocks stalks and dark leaves with ripe purple flowers bursting out between them add every node. Using a home mix super soil with Promis Organic as the base, I decided to feed compost extracts laced with Golden Tree & CalMag which helped kick this girl into over drive and push out these dense sticky buds. I'm expecting around 3 ounces from her and it's day 73 since she popped out of the soil. She has a sweet aroma and is completely covered in trichomes. Drying/ Curing process: - she will be hung upside down by the main stock until she is dry (8-12 days) - My humidity will be set to 55 - 60 % and my temps will range from 65-70 degrees F - Will store in Glas Mason jars with 2-way Boveda humidty packs. These are a lifesaver for new growers. They will keep the humidity in the jar at 62%. - after 2 weeks I'll throw down a mad sesh Thanks to everyone who offered me tips and help when I needed it. Thanks Fastbuds for all you do for the community, including growdiaries.com

Heeeey all! Sorry for the extremely slow update! The past few weeks have been crazy for me! 😱 This week I made a lot of defoliation and decided to be somewhat greedy. I'll let the plants grow a bit more so they'll stretch well during flower! So while I defoliate I'll allow the plants to recover properly! 💪 Near the end of the week I also made another mistake with Roko (poor baby! 😭). I broke another of the stems (the one that divided the plant in two, right in the middle) and I feared the worst! But so far the plant kept growing without any problems. I'm still thinking a name for my 4th baby, she has surprised me greatly and I didn't notice how many new branches had grown until I defoliated her and I'm sure she'll deliver some great buds! 😍 Anyway everyone, this is all for now. Thanks for reading this journal and soon I'll update the next week! 😃

Plant has grown a lot recently. I think the stretch might be over as i havent seen a lot of difference in height recently. The budsites are developing really well. I have fed her today with some nutrients (easy grow tablet mixed with 8l of water). She received around 500ml i would say in total I have to refill the self watering base every 2 days. She is very thirsty. Besides that she is looking healthy. This is my very first grow but everything is going good. Plant has some yellow leaf tips. I dont really know what caused it but it doesnt seem to appear on newer leaves and if it does it stays at yellow tips. She doesn’t have any terpenes smell yet. It smells like a plant but thats about it. Im only struggling with humidity. It is around 63-70%. My minigrow says the RH is 70% while my amazon hygrometer says 61%. Idk which to trust more. I have defoliated the lower canopy again for better airflow. Vpd is around 0.8-0.99kPa

Lemon tree strain is growing big for a seedling

Buenos días familia, de nuevo os traigo esta esta 5 semana de floración de nuestras green ak xL de zambezaseeds. Una está algo bloqueada y no quiere comer nutrientes la otra ya va mejor y si come. Ph controlado temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros establecidos. Una cepa bastante difícil de dominar muy sensible a los cambios, pero que seguro bien cultivada dará todo de sí, xL su nombre lo dice.

🌺🌺🌺

So this is how things are looking for for the Dark Phoenix at the end of Week 7 of Flower, finishing earlier than expected, I have uploaded a video for you guys with all the information. 👊🏾🌱💚

SUNDAY 6/23: I had to suspend my indoor operation for a couple months and within a week I'm so bored that I don't know what to do with myself....so... I'm gonna grow 5 total plants in a secluded, mostly shady area on a nearby property and see what results. 1 * CC4 (Candy Cane #5 x C4 #3 - the purple pheno) 1 * Early Candy (Candy Cane #1 x Early Miss #2) 1 * Candesia (Candy Cane #5 x Auto Amnesia #2) ...plus a couple others which will be in other diaries. I'm using the complete Biotabs line of products for this stealth grow..hopefully a few less sneaky midnight trips required to keep them happy. I floated the beans today, They are under a dome, on a heat mat now. Once sprouted, I'll plant the seedlings in rockwool cubes with Great White and Mycrotrex. They will be planted in 3 gallon pots when ready. I'll probably let them get to about the 3rd internode before I move them outdoors. TUESDAY: I floated a second CC x EM seed today. The first one sunk and cracked open but still hasn't sprouted. Both the CC4 and Candesia beans sunk and also cracked open. I should be able to dip their tap roots into the Great White tomorrow and plant them in cubes. For stealth purposes, simplicity in transfer to the grow site, and to give the seedlings an advantage, I've decided to transfer the rockwool-cubed seedlings from the dome to some 6" pots (1/2 gallon) that I've prepared with startrex and silicium flash. I'll grow the seedlings under my 2000w blurple light for a couple of weeks before taking them outside. I should be able to carry all of them in a big box out to the site without injuring them. This will give me time to start sneaking the big pots out to the site. I'll pre-mix the startrex and silicium flash on-site and add the mycrotrex when I transplant them to the 3 gallon pots and give them a good douching with bactrex and orgatrex to get them started well. My soil has been recharging for several months with tons of good stuff added (earthworm castings, bat guano, azomite, biochar, bokashi, nectar for the godz one-shot and myco), plus I'll be growing them with the biotabs line of products, so they will have a good chance. I figure that I'll probably fix up their first batch of PK booster compost tea right away and douche them with it in their first week outdoors. Every little thing I can do to help them strengthen for the oncoming heat they'll experience...probably some extra kelp too... THURSDAY: They are all planted in cubes now. FRIDAY: Still waiting on them to emerge. SATURDAY: Still nothing...so...I floated the following: 10 x Candy Cane x Amnesia Auto (Seedsman) (F1) seeds 1 x Candy Cane x Early Miss (F1) seed 1 x Candy Cane x White Widow(CKS) (F1) seed 1 x Candy Cane (S1) seed If my luck changes and a bunch of them sprout, not sure what I'll do. Knowing myself, I probably won't have the heart to kill them, but I can only spare about another cubic foot of soil, so the extra plants may end up in 2 gallon nursery pots (1.67 gallons) with Osmocote Plus for food...and maybe even a few of them in 6" pots (1/2 gallon) if I get really lucky and they all take off... I also floated a Fastbuds C4 and a mystery breeder Sour Diesel bean, but they probably won't be included in this diary if they do grow...or maybe I'll change the name of the diary.. TUESDAY: Maybe the "distilled" water I used before had chlorine in it, so I bought another gallon of distilled water and even left the lid off for a night so as to ensure any chlorine dissipated. I planted half of them in rockwool cubes and half in rapid rooters. WEDNESDAY: I see several sprouts breaking through.. I decided to go ahead and float 2 x Candy Cane x White Widow Auto (Seedsman) seeds produced in February as backups. I also floated another 2 x Candy Cane x C4 (purple pheno) beans. Worst case scenario is they'll end up growing in 6" pots if everything else takes off...or maybe I'll get some more soil.. so, the list is now: 3 x Candy Cane(CKS) x C4(Fastbuds) (F1) seed 3 x Candy Cane(CKS) x Early Miss(CKS) (F1) seeds 10 x Candy Cane(CKS) x Amnesia Auto(Seedsman) (F1) seeds 1 x Candy Cane(CKS) x White Widow(CKS) (F1) seed 1 x Candy Cane(CKS) (S1) seed 2 x Candy Cane(CKS) x White Widow Auto(Seedsman) (F1) seeds FRIDAY: As of today, this diary includes: 5 x Candy Cane by Amnesia Auto sprouts 1 x Candy Cane by Early Miss sprout 1 x Candy Cane by White Widow Auto(CKS) sprout 1 x Candy Cane (S1) sprout There's still another handful that might emerge..3 x CC by C4 and 2 x CC x WW(seedsman)

I finally got them in the garden! It was a trip getting out there, so they don't look the greatest because they're stressed. I made a video explaining almost everything except I forgot to mention that I added about 5-10% Biochar in with the Fox farm potting soil. Also, the row cover will protect them from pests.

She has a bit if the test turns out right she may be a mom instead. Nothing to do to her yet.

Final weeks guys, it was nice journey with new breeders and genetics for me. A lot of experience in new room etc. Enjou the last pics session from veg phase. Next will be harvest with all the girls and final product result :) This week id more compilation of last two where i used only water and flawles finish from advanced nutrients It is visiblew from leaves that all nutrients were flushed and last flower is ready to harvest :) enjoy

Photography Credits @TopShelfStealth23 Método de @TopShelfStealth23 (principalmente) and @nonick123 La cosecha Cuando todos los tricomas estén de color lechoso y algunos ámbar, debes proceder a cortar las plantas Elige si hacer manicurado en seco o en húmedo, dependiendo de tu capacidad de controlar la temperatura y la humedad relativa en tu cuarto de secado Seca las plantas durante 7-10 días colgando boca abajo o sobre una mallado de secado (prefiero la primera opción) hasta que las ramas se partan haciendo un sonido como "clack". Siempre en un sitio oscuro, ventilado pero sin corriente de aire directa sobre las plantas o cogollos. Luego curalas en botes herméticos de vidrio durante 30 días Después, ya puedes probarlas! Disfruta!

Yay! Finally they get space in the bigger grow room, been waiting for weeks. The few mother's that were still flowering were able to fit into the tent. Many of the seedlings were ready for transplant so I made room for them in the clone closet as well.
