Putting on bulk! Day 49 About 2 weeks left for this I reckon!

Went into the tent 7/21 Tuesday. Got them under more ppfd 7/25, will try to shape the stretch with the netting.

manganese deficency is really eating her up quiet a bit.... defoliateing every 2-3 days because i just have to... wont add anything more so lets see how she goes from here

Ernte & Trocknung – 24.08. - 07.09.2026 Kurz nach Blütewoche 10 habe ich mich dann doch spontan für die Ernte entschieden. Die Trichome waren größtenteils milchig und teilweise bernsteinfarben. Ein bisschen mehr Bernstein hätte ich zwar gerne gehabt, aber irgendwann war für mich einfach der Punkt erreicht. Zuerst habe ich die großen Blätter entfernt und anschließend die einzelnen Äste abgeschnitten. Im Zelt habe ich ein Stück Maschendraht aufgehängt und daran die Äste für ungefähr zwei Wochen trocknen lassen. Die Bedingungen lagen dabei im Schnitt bei etwa 22 °C und 65 % Luftfeuchtigkeit, mit kleineren Schwankungen. Mittlerweile sind die Buds trocken, von den Ästen geschnitten und in Gläser gewandert. Dazu kamen 62-%-Boveda-Packs. Dort dürfen sie jetzt beim Curing noch weiter nachreifen. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich die Gläser regelmäßig kontrollieren. Mit dem Ergebnis bin ich echt zufrieden. Die Buds sind schön kompakt und fest, überwiegend hellgrün und ordentlich mit Trichomen überzogen – teilweise sehen sie wirklich aus wie kleine glitzernde Diamanten. Der Geruch geht aktuell in eine süßlich-würzige Richtung. Im Vaporizer war die Wirkung bisher angenehm und eher etwas kopflastiger. Auch der Grow selbst hat mich positiv überrascht. Das kleine Living-Soil-Beet hat die kompletten rund 20 Wochen ohne zusätzliche Dünger oder Zusätze durchgehalten und die Pflanze zeigte während des gesamten Runs keine wirklichen Mangelerscheinungen. Abgesehen von Gießen, etwas Entlauben und ein bisschen LST musste ich kaum eingreifen. Besonders die kleine Greenception hat mich überzeugt. Trotz des kompakten Setups kam am Ende eine Qualität heraus, mit der ich wirklich zufrieden bin – und das bei deutlich geringerem Stromverbrauch als bei meiner großen Lampe. Damit ist der Blue Sunset Sherbert Grow abgeschlossen. Ein unkomplizierter Run, ein völlig verrückter Stretch und am Ende schöne, feste und harzige Buds. Mit dem Ergebnis und auch mit der Genetik von Barney’s Farm bin ich echt zufrieden.

Constant feed seems to produce big plants. Cost more that's for sure. We will see if it pays off in the long run. I have to say that the smells that are coming out of my tent is fire. So berry lemonade kush and ⛽ couldn't of asked for anything more. Can't wait to see what my weight is going to be off my first 4. I'm guessing close to 3 to 3.5 lbs. Next week I will have some trimmed up with some pictures.

5 weeks, 3 days after germination.

6/28 I had to water deeply despite watering thoroughly yesterday. This heat wave is supposed to pass today. We have had temps in the 90's. Ihate it but the girls seem to love it. RH is super high and controlling pm is a pain in the balls. When my connection is better I'll add my vid and photos. Still need a follow up preventative spray. BT is really awesome but super narrow and I've found random stink bugs, earwigs, crickets and grasshoppers as well as easily identifiable leaf damage. I'm thinking Spinosid. Save my PM stuff for PM. Tried checking my PH with a soil meter. The bags are basically just roots. The only two plants it read came to 6.5 which is strange because I usually run around 7.3. I'll certainly take it. If it's correct that is. RH 64 TEMP 84 6/29 Didn't water this morning due to a torrential downpour last night. Nothing broken after first glance. The thunder and wind woke me last night. This storm was horrific yet my plants still seem unaffected. Need to rearrange the cage. It will be a pain to have to move that ice cream cake. Maybe I could find a way to modify the cage outwards. I also need to move the plant in the tote in the back. Luckily I got back and watered before plants dried out. Noticed a FEW dead or yellow leaves on the middle interior of some plants. I upped dosage of growbig last feed and fed a little earlier. I'll go back to my normal feeding schedule and see what happens. Thing is the plants are getting huge so I would think increased nutes would help. Couldn't he lockout. Too much water. Maybe nutes in the soil are leaving? I'll figure it out. I temporarily pulled the stalk on the ice cream cake back and tied it to the posts to get it off the fence. 6/30. 90s again today. I deeply watered and noticed a couple more yellow leaves (bottom middlish). Only thing that was changed was feeding. I may go back to original schedule. Funeral today so I'll have to check things out later. UPDATE: Went back maybe sux hours after watering to find the grow bags dry. I reached my hand in the side and it's pretty much all roots. These high temperatures and wind are drying my plants out. No droop but the soil WAS dry. I watered again and plan to check again tonight. When temps go down I'll probably do a preventative Spinosid spray. 7/1 Watered and fed two gallons. Grow big at 1 1/2 tbsp. Still some yellow leaves on the interior. I'm talking like maybe five. Accidentally destroyed lace wing eggs. I knew it was something to keep an eye out for but I mistakenly thought it was BAD. Oh well it was just two eggs. I'm sure there are more. Tried measuring PH with soil meter but the only two plants that registered were 6.5 and 6.6. I believe the PH to be a bit higher. The bags are so full of roots it's hard to get a measurement. I know my soil and water WAS on point before my gauge broke. However I leave the 7.3 as that was about what the big ones tested at last time measured. 7/2 These are some resilient strains. Currently 54 degrees at 9am. It had been 80 or 90 in the last few days. Perfect rain today. A light shower all day. Obviously didn't water. Found a few yellow leaves but the plants look so good. The also seem to be stretching but it's far to early for the preflower stretch. I'll keep an eye out. Things are looking pretty good. Still need to move that plant in the back. 7/3 Watered today. Looks like it might rain but top soil was a little dry. Also noticed this site measures teaspoons not tablespoons which is how I measure. I'll need to adjust that. There's tell tale damage from a variety of pests (leaf hoppers, pillars, grasshoppers ECT.) So I think I'm going to do a spray within the next couple days. Im leaning towards Spinosid but Dr. Zymes supposably helps the PM as well. I'll do more research and update. 7/4 54 degrees and raining. Haven't checked the girls out yet today.

Attached is a timelapse of this past week! GSC in the foreground. This week has seen some of the most dramatic changes. She's in flower! Its a beautiful sight to see the bud sites develop so quickly. When I realized this plant is in flower, I've focused more of the grow light on her, sacrificing some of the blueberry's light. This is because the light absorbed during flower will be directly put towards the buds. Another change is I've lowered the light to about 12 inches, providing stronger light during flower. I've noticed that to maintain an even canopy, I have to tie down this plant every day. My priority is to maintain and even canopy, allowing each bud site to receive ample light. I am constantly focusing attention towards the main stem of the plant because I don't want the plant to favor it over the other bud sites. After tying down the plant, I take the time to adjust near by leaves to cover any significant gaps I've created in the canopy. I do this to ensure light is not wasted. At the end of the week, my pH dropped considerably to around 5. Early signs of calcium deficiency are showing. Should be under control after nute change. My nutrients this week were balanced for the transition between veg and flower. In the coming weeks I will provide more flowering nutrients.

September 18 2026 What Happened?! 😶 Rest assured all is well with her, and by next week she'll be back to normal. I removed a couple dozen fan leaves that were trapping a lot of moisture and were potential problems. Due to the speed of growth and especially the thicccness of the branches, it's been difficult to train her, and so I've decided to just let her do her thing.

Lowered the lights & will set 24h light on monday Most of the roots show on the bottom of the pots

~ 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!💚😎🙏

First week of 12|12 and the girls are craving for light and space

The plants look good overall. The light intensity was increased to 900-950ppfd (measured with the Photone app) -12.03.2025 The plants were each watered with 1L of water with fertilizer solution and a few more leaves were removed. -16.03.2025 The third week of flowering comes to an end. They were watered with 1.5 liters of water per plant. (With fertilizer mix) Total Time: 1377:39 h Total Energy: 222,79 kWh

I just fed the Nebula plant on day 139 the rest got straight water. Added HLG Scorpion R Spec light panel today, very heavy, had to use two poles for support. PPFDs across canvas seem to be in good flowering range now hung at 18" hope to finish in a couple weeks more or less.

Glookie Bomb did great from Bomb seeds. Very sweet earthy smell. Lots of frosty goodness. I cut her, and will be hanging for 24 hours. Then I will trim fan leaves off, and put her in the cannatrol for 8 days. Once done I will do a final trim, and be back with smoke report. She grew great with the Spider Farmer SE5000, and in the Athena blended line of nutrition. Thank you Bomb seeds 💣, Spider Farmer 💡, and Athena nutrition. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Hi guys! Here we are again, closing report for week 12, or 8 of flowering, as you prefer. This was a great week! I'm super happy in first place, to be home again, and that gives me much more time to look after the plants, the conditions, and really take great care of the grow. All the 5 plants had great development in their bud production and amounts. The grow tent looks small for this 5 girls and now they're struggling a little with the space. About the feedings: I started flushing already. Might be early for many, but I don't see the need for more nutrients when the plants are looking so nice, and I'm also satisfied with it, so now just water until the end. Curiously, the 2 shortest ones are showing signs og being ready very soon as you can see in the close up shots and video. I might give it another week and will chop them both around december 13/14 The remaining 3 ones... they're still work in progress, growing enormously big for my expectations, and filling up the empty spaces with sweet, fruity and tropical aromas in the room. Damn it smells nice when you open that grow room. So yeah, basically now she's just finishing up, drinking water at 6.3 to 6.5PH max, 28 to 38ppm, the temps are good, 18 with lights off, 27 lights on... The only 'issue' this week it turning the plants a bit because they're bending with the weight. Besides that, all good. This happy grower is done for this week, let's see what week 13 will bring us. Thanks for reading, hope you liked the pics also.

18/06: Week 5 – early bloom stage confirmed! 🌱➡️🌸 We're entering week 5 with EC 1.6 and pH 5.8. The very first white pistils have emerged, confirming the transition into early flowering. The recent vertical surge was likely boosted by Far-Red and IR spectrum effects, along with enhanced metabolism from the CO₂ generator. From here, the plants will start shifting energy from stretch to flower production. Environmental control (especially RH and VPD) is now crucial to avoid early bloom issues. LST is being finalized as structure sets in. 21/06: We're now at day 31 since germination, and the flowering phase is clearly underway. Based on the canopy photo, the plants are thriving: a lush, uniform green with no signs of nutrient stress. Buds are starting to stack up nicely, and the foliage remains sturdy and intact. EC has been bumped up to 1.8 this week to support early bloom demands — especially for phosphorus and potassium — and the plants are handling it smoothly. No burnt tips or discoloration, indicating stable nutrient uptake. With environmental parameters dialed in through the GGS controller, everything's in sync. Onward to some serious bud building. 22/06: Stretch is in full swing — the girls are reaching hard, and I’ve had to raise the lights multiple times over the last few days. They’re now hovering just 10 cm above the canopy, delivering 1200 PPFD at 38 °C. We're truly pushing the physiological limit here. Dropping the lights any closer isn’t an option — cooling is maxed out, and more intensity = more heat. The only adjustable variable left would be CO₂ reduction, which I’d rather avoid at this stage. So far, no visible stress signs, but I’m watching them closely. Water uptake is intense — 100L in just 5 days. I refilled today (rather than a full res change) to prevent air pocket formation. Slightly bumped up the EC to temper the stretch. If things keep going vertical, some LST may soon be necessary — a few tops are practically kissing the diodes.

brilliant week of growth from the peanut butter cookies. Been a little bit of a struggle for space but will HST once all autoflowers are out. Both the auto cinderella jack and auto critical cheese are developing buds nicely

2 nights into flower and already they've doubled in size, from what I've seen , this strain is a pure stretcher. Added the scrog net about a foot and a half above the plants. Each plant has 4 main colas. One plant is showing expressions of pink in the leaves and stems, picture below of the leaf. 14.6 Last day of the week (sort of). We're going to conclude the weeks diary on Sunday now instead of Tuesday, it's much easier for my brain that way. All looking well. I can't seem to find the (albeit very mildly) plant that had pinky expressions anymore, although two of them seem to have red streaks on the stems which the other three don't so we will see, I'm hoping there's enough space in here to grow these girls, hopefully the scrog will save my ass. There's some slight discolouration in a couple of leaves on only two plants, not sure why it what may have caused it, maybe spilt nutrients water(although it's a very mild solution). Started introducing nutrients now, (my soil/compost mix was super rich in nitrogen but seriously lacking in p and k) liquid for the moment, but I'm going to add a top dress of compost, worm castings, bone meal, root fusion powder, sulphate of potash and guano). This should mean I won't have to feed many more nutrients, I will however be adding the remainder of Plagron's green sensation and top max and bloom to maximise flower production at least for the first 3-6 weeks of flower, we will see, I have no idea how sativa leaning this strain will turn out, I'm under the impression they're all a kinda 50/50 or sativa like structure.
