Day 61 for the autos two on the right are Tangie monkey and the two on the left Bananangie , both test strains from Island seedbank in Sicily. Just water this week , I think the first Tangie monkey is almost finished.

Flush at day 51. 10 days and I cut

Flush time.

Well this was a really straight forward grow, very very pleased with the outcome and the bud isn’t completely cured 😋 5 Gal fabric pot with BioBizz light mix, some light consistent feeding, a FIM and basic LST, look at the outcome! No wonder their strain wins awards! I will 100% be growing more NL! Thank you RQS ✌️🙌👌🙏

Growing this strain was quite cool. A nice small grow or macro grow I should say. The plant seemed quite resilient which is always a good thing. I wish I could have waited another week before harvest but was getting complaints about the smell. Most of all I have to say I am rather impressed with my yield, I thought I would get 10 grams in a 4ltr pot maybe 14 at the most but ended up with 21 grams/ 3 quarters of an ounce, so next grow I'm hoping for an oz!

Another good week done. Increased feeding to near on 1000ppm Wanted to do things differently with these to try and get the most out of them, so I am and will be feeding every time they are watered where as before I was alternating PH water with feeding every other day. No sign of starting flower yet so could potentially be a long Veg auto or I could be mis sold photoperiod plants. Should know more next week. I have seen some are 5 week veg so not too fussed at the moment. Humidity is high in the tent at the minute and that’s because I forgot to empty the dehumidifier and the damp outside weather was no help either, it tends to stick to 45%-55% See you again next week

Week 11

BIG UPDATE THIS WEEK !!! ---------------------------------- FEEDING MISTAKE / TRANSPLANTING THE PLANT ------------------------------------------------------- Last week, the plant was showing some feeding issue (some burned tips). After discussing with another grower ( @Asnoriu ) and carefully listening his advices, I decided to transplant the queen to a bigger pot. 16L can be ok, but I had a long veg (10 weeks), and this was getting too small for the lady. So starting from now, I will always transplant before flowering, since I understood & learned how it help the plant to develop good roots network. The plant probably suffered from too much feeding with Fish-mix. Asnoriu told me He was using it at 50% of the recommend dose, and not at each watering. This totally make sense, especially when i look back at my first grow : I used no fish-mix during almost all the veg, and she grow verry well. My gardening soil was probably rich enough for my plants! I transplanted the plant to a bigger pot (16L -> 30L) and filled the new pot with Biobizz All-Mix soil. I took the plant from the old fabric pot like if it was a sock : what a niiiice and easy technic ! (Thanks again Asnoriu). Watered with pure water (ph at 6.2-6.5), without any nutrients (All-mix is already rich enough). I will feed again in 1-2 weeks. BIG ERROR WHEN APPLYING LST BACK IN THE NEW POT --------------------------------------------------------------- I had to remove my strings (LST) to switch to the new Pot. When I was applying the LST again in the new pot, I went too far with tension... And the main-lining broke 😟 So I fixed it verrry quickly by releasing LST tension, and using a string to tight the stem where it broke. In less than 5 minutes it was fixed. I was verry worried that it may have killed my queen.... But she didn't shown any sign of stunt, and 48h hours later, I can say that she look verry good. This doesn't slowed her. She seems to grow faster since transplant, so all good :) So, note to myself : never try to LST when flowering started, or only verry carefully, with just littles adjustements. SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT & LIGHT + TENT UPGRADE -------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm verry proud to announce that Mars Hydro ( @MarsHydroLED ) decided to sponsor me :) So I received a TSW2000 (basically 2X the output of a TS1000), and a Mars Hydro tent (100cm x 100cm x 180cm) That's PER-FECT, since I was already using a TS1000, which I bought because it was the best deal (price/quality) for me. I'm verrrrry happy about it, and I feel verry lucky to be selected by Mars Hydro 🙌 This mean a lot to me. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm doing my best to improve myself and learn. Learning from the other, and sharing my experience, and being rewarded for that... Damn, so cool 😍 MENTION ----------- Once again, thanks a lot @Asnoriu You are MY grower of the month, for sharing your ideas, opinions, and advices with me :) WEEK DETAILS ---------------- - Day 79 : Watering 1L (ph 6.2 - 6.5) with feeding (as detailed in the week details) - Day 82 : Transplanting from 16L pot to 30L pot. Broke stem, and repared it. Upgraded from Mars Hydro TS1000 to TSW2000 (2x more powerfull). Watered with pure water. - Day 84 : Plant look verry great, and seems to stretch & flower faster :)

The seeds are no longer small and have had cuttings taken and now will be put into flower however not all as a few plants have had problems over the last few weeks I’m rectifying

Diese Woche wurde es zum Glück wieder etwas sonniger und wärmer. Die Pflanze wächst weiter ohne Pause, bin gespannt auf welche Höhe sie schießt. 🌱

Week 2 od flower

I still have to wait for about 8 weeks, I believe in the open air ... they already have a smell of fruit and forest ... with one of them has nutrients from the biobizz tripack ... because it had a lack of nutrients ... a measure 40 cm and the ptra is around 1.70 ... waiting for the fattening of buds

📆 Semana 11 El cultivo entra en la fase final de maduración, con el lavado de raíces en su punto avanzado y el coco completamente estabilizado. Los cogollos se muestran totalmente compactos, duros y con el peso ya asentado. La resina alcanza su expresión máxima, con tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos y un aumento progresivo de ámbar que marca claramente la ventana de corte. Los pistilos terminan de oxidarse y el fade se acentúa, reflejando el consumo final de reservas. Momento de afinar el punto exacto de cosecha según efecto buscado. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Although the seed description said 10 to 11 weeks, I going to cut these girls down at 10 weeks. I need the room to grow and flower some Mac and Crack that's already growing.. Getting close to harvest I'll start flushing, But I'll give them 1 more feeding and then nothing but water till the end. I get much better taste and the buds smoke better if I flush and get the chemicals out of the soil before harvest. Well, that's the end of the Freak Bros. book # 10... I think there are 3 or 4 more books left in that series. I'll show them in future diaries. My other diaries have the old underground comic book, Weirdo by Robert Crumb if you want to check them out to see. The buds are really getting solid now and some are getting heavy and heading for the floor. Good times... Getting some great smells now. Musk is the most common. But some, smell of Citrus with Musk under tones. The smell is overpowering my carbon filter. I can smell these plants out by the street if the wind is blowing that way. Pure Lemon Skunk smell by the street. Nice. Getting near the end of their lives now and there are more yellow leaves as the plants pull what they need from the big fan leaves before turning the leaves brown. Some plants have sticky resin and some have slippery resin. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

~ 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.

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: 4/25- Week Four... here we go! The GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower from FastBuds has her 6th set of leaves now and is looking nice and healthy. She has good color and her growth is beginning to pick up. I have also noticed that something has decided that she's tasty as I have begun to notice holes in her shade leaves that look like they were chewed. 4/27- All is well with the GG4 Sherbet FF. Today I checked the moisture of the soil and decided to water via the garden hose with well water along with a good drink of fresh Compost Tea. 4/29- Rain showers today took care of my watering duties! Yesterday I sprayed her down with Neem Oil to see if it helps to mitigate whatever is beginning to chew on her leaves. 5/1- Well there's another fairly slow week for the GG4 Sherbet FF from FastBuds. Our weather is beginning to warm up and I'm looking forward to seeing this little lady take off! There's another week for the little GG4 Sherbet FF. I'm really anticipating seeing her take off once our weather gets a bit warmer! Hope to see you next week... 😎

Week 6

Good weather here. Almost total defoliation and stop watering on Sunday. Cropped on Tuesday night. I'm more than satisfied. A lot of stuff. Perfectly ripen. It's a sin to cut her, she's really a beauty. Top cola apart there are another 12 big bus and 2 dozen of minor fat branches. After 24h of drying and deep wet trim the weight is 1335 grams (2.94 lbs) of top rock solid buds as this plants don't produce popcorns. So it's legit to expect 600 grams of premium weed. See you in 2/3 week for the harvest report, drying will take more time than Royal Gorilla as buds are Biggerrr Smoking preview Folks, I just rolled a couple spliffs of a dried and cured sample bud for 11 days. Two of friends of mine couldn't tell if it was weed or hash, I'm not joking. Strong and fast high.

Flo & h20 that’s all 🤛 The girls looks nice and healthy I love that strain buddy’s.
