The sticky rice is one of the smaller plants but it is very healthy I’m looking forward to how it turns out This past week was smooth sailing I topped all the plants

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir. I lowered my nutes to 650 ppm(25% reduction). I adjusted the PH down to 6.1. My left plant has some burnt tips from either PH shift or over fertilization. My hope is that the lower ppm will help to resolve the issue before it spreads. On day 2 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.3 to 5.9. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I installed my new 200 watt HLG Rspec. I adjusted PPFD readings to 700-1300 PPFD on all tops. On day 4 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. I diluted my nutrients in my reservoir by removing one gallon of nutrients from the rez and and adding 2 gallons of straight tap water to the rez. This brought the nute concentration from 770 ppm to 540 ppm as the plants will be entering the ripening stage in a few days and they have too much nitrogen judging by the extremely dark green leaves and burnt leaf tips on some branches of the left side plant. The buds seem slightly smaller then my last run which may be due to an excess of nitrogen and maybe not enough light as some of my tops are taller then the others making proper PPFD challenging. All in all the girls are coming along nice and I look forward to the final weeks of flowering 😀 On day 6 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.9 to 6.2. I think I have halted the nute burn as I haven't seen it progressing any more on the leaves. I will continue to monitor closely during these final weeks. The trichome production is increasing with some trichs on top of colas starting to go cloudy. The pistils are turning brown with roughly 40-50% are turning brown all signs I'm getting closer to the harvest window 😆. I dimmed my light to give 600-1000 PPFD to tops. On day 7 I reduced my temps to 75 during the day and 68 at night. I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.6 to 6.1. My reservoirs ppm was too high so I diluted the rez with 2 gal of tap water. This brought it down to 480ppm. The average ppfd to all 14 tops is 604 with no top receiving more than 1000 ppfd

~ 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: 8/18- Week 5 of flower's here for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she has transformed into an absolutely gorgeous specimen of this strain, and hopefully it will become a good example of this strains capabilities! Our weather continues to be cool and dry with nighttime temp's dipping into the upper 50's℉ with daytime highs in the mid to upper 70's℉, and the daylight has dropped to just over 13 hours now. 8/20- I am still watering the GG4 Sherbet FF daily but, with the cooler weather and with the plant at this stage of flower, her water requirements have dropped a bit so I'm only giving approximately 4-5g of well water after the sun goes down to allow it to soak in thoroughly throughout the soil. 8/22- Along with my daily watering, I am also constantly going through the plant and removing any dead or yellowed leaves. I'm also checking over the entire plant including the undersides of leaves looking for early signs of insect infestation or their eggs being laid, as well as looking for signs of deficiencies and as flowering progresses mold and fungus.🤢 8/24- With five weeks of flower behind her now, the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower has passed the halfway point and only has another 2-3 weeks to go! My only hope is that our weather continues to cooperate and at least stay dry to quell any fears of bud rot on her beautiful flowers! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Despite slight damage by overzealous gardener with a weed wacker, causing shot through holes and torn leaves, the plants are doing OK. Supplemented feed on two different days with 7.5 ml/gallon Cytokin and 30 ml/gallon molasses. Had to remove visible eggs of unknown insect on several leaves (I hope it's not a beneficial). Increased but not overwhelming leaf miner damage. I need to start measuring these for height and width. The growth seems to have slowed but I am also on leave and observing the plants more so I don't know if it as situation where a watched pot never boils.

So… the progress is great because of this beautiful weather. Purple Queen, Hyperion and Critical 2 even got another 2 pair of Leaves. Gorilla Z sadly didn’t make it. She went completely white. Sherbet Queen and Critical 1 are fighting for life but you also can see the progress. I don’t feed them now but I Think I’ll start next week. Also next week if Purple Queen ist gonna make it to the 5th note I’m gonna top her, because she’s a photoperiodic. She has plenty of time to recover. All the other autos won’t be topped, they were already slowed down enough. See you

Feeding just ph'd water bout to transplant to 5gallon n then flip to flower after a few days.

This lady is making me enjoy a lot her fragrance that come from her flowers, very good strain, the 3 phenos of ak420 smell exactly the same, very sweet and floral nugs, and they're starting to get very compact and dense, let's see how she keeps developing her beautiful flowers everybody! Hope you have enjoyed this journey as much as me! 👨‍🌾💚❤️💛🔝

Moin, Die 3. Blütewoche ist vorbei und die White Sweet Candy OG hat sich nochmal deutlich gestretcht, vorallem die drei verbleibenden Haupttrieb (Leider ist mir Anfang der Blütewoche beim letzten scroggen ein Haupttrieb abgebrochen) werden höchstwahrscheinlich zu ziemlich großen Buds! Mit den noch erfolgten Stretch hat die Pflanze hier ideale Höhe erreicht und ich hoffe nicht auf weiteres Höhenwachstum sonst muss ich den Filter und die Abluft etwas umhängen. Besonders in den letzten Tagen beginnt merklich die Blütenbildung zu beginnen und immer mehr Pistils schießen aus den Blütenansetzen. Trichome konnte ich bisher aber nicht erkennen das wird sich in den kommenden Tagen aber sicherlich noch ändern und ich bin wirklich gespannt wo die Reise noch hingehen wird und wann ich das erste mal einen Einblick in das hoffentlich süße und vielleicht etwas kushiges (?) Terpenprofil erblicken kann. Diese Sorte macht einen wirklich Lust zu grown! Einzig tut es mir etwas Leid, dass ich dem Strain nicht das ganze Zelt an Platz gegeben haben. Ende der Woche sind mir ein paar kleine Anzeichen eines Calciummangels an zwei einzelnen Blätter aufgefallen, weswegen beim gestrigen Ansetzen der Nährlösung erstmal auch eine kleine Menge an CaO hinzugegeben wurde. Ende der 3. Blütewoche wurde die Pflanze ordentlich gelollipopt und vorallem die zum Teil schon fast riesigen Blätter wurden entfernt und die Struktur deutlich luftiger gestaltet sodass nun auch ein Guter Airflow gewährleistet ist. Zur Struktur selber bleibt die White Sweet Candy OG Ihrer OG Struktur in Wachstum treu, mittelgroße Internodienabstände, starke Haupttriebe mit große Blätter und relativ starkes Seitentrieben. Einzig ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Triebe nicht zu stark trainiert werden sollten, da diese doch recht starr und zum Teil Hohl sind wodurch diese zum Brechen neigen, wenn diese zu stark heruntergebunden werden. Ein wirklich Problem sollte das aber nicht darstellen, wenn man darüber bescheid weiß und nicht zu rabiat an die Sache herangeht. Des Weiteren habe ich mittlerweile mein Intercanopy-Lighting eingestellt und beleuchte die Pflanzen nun mit 21 W zusätzlich und er unterschied in der Ausleuchtung der untere Triebe ist nicht zu übersehen, ich bin auf die Ergebnisse gespannt! Alles in allem ist dieser Strain wirklich robust, stellt keine großen Anforderungen, hat wirklich Bock zu Wachsen und kommt gut mit höheren EC Werten klar. Gerne mehr von genau solchen Strains! Hey, Week 3 of flowering is over, and the White Sweet Candy OG has stretched noticeably once again. The three remaining main branches in particular have put on a lot of growth (unfortunately, one of the main branches snapped during the last SCROG session at the beginning of flowering). These remaining tops will most likely develop into some pretty large buds! With the additional stretch, the plant has now reached the ideal height for this setup, and I’m hoping for little to no further vertical growth. Otherwise, I’ll have to reposition the carbon filter and exhaust system. Especially over the last few days, flower development has really started to pick up. More and more pistils are emerging from the bud sites, although I haven’t been able to spot any trichomes yet. That will surely change in the coming days, and I’m genuinely excited to see where this grow goes and when I’ll finally get my first impression of the hopefully sweet and perhaps slightly kushy (?) terpene profile. This strain is genuinely a joy to grow! The only thing I somewhat regret is not giving it the entire tent to itself. Towards the end of the week, I noticed a few minor signs of a calcium deficiency on two individual leaves. Because of that, I added a small amount of CaO when mixing yesterday’s nutrient solution. At the end of week 3 of flowering, the plant received a thorough lollipopping. In particular, some of the already massive fan leaves were removed, creating a much more open structure and ensuring proper airflow throughout the canopy. As for the plant structure itself, the White Sweet Candy OG stays true to its OG heritage: medium internodal spacing, strong main branches with large leaves, and fairly vigorous lateral branching. One thing I did notice is that the branches should not be trained too aggressively. They are quite rigid and partially hollow, which makes them prone to snapping if bent down too forcefully. However, this shouldn’t be a real issue as long as you are aware of it and handle the plant with a bit of care. Additionally, I have now set up my inter-canopy lighting and am providing an extra 21 watts of supplemental light. The improvement in light penetration to the lower branches is clearly visible, and I’m excited to see how this affects the final results. Overall, this strain has proven to be very robust. It doesn’t demand much, has a strong desire to grow, and handles higher EC levels without any issues. I’d definitely love to see more strains like this!

iiiiiiiiiiii

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Pulled the plug on the small plants and putting effort into Pablo Escobar and Montreal auto . Official grow diaries for each starting soon

She's looking so beautiful,very nice strain to grow for sure,I'm trying to give her a good shape before flowering starts. I add organic liquids nuts only once a week and looks like she loves it,let's keep up the work!! 💚💛❤️🌱🤩

beautiful colours. who said topping doesn't work for autoflowers?

Deoliated and trained! Even did a little video showcase! In love with this round from Fastbuds!!!!! Gonna get a great harvest!

Week 10 of flowering! This last week has been one of the most challenging when it came to climate, After I stopped C02 the humidity levels just continued to climb and the AC and Dehumidifier could not keep up. I'm guessing this has to do with the sheer volume of the plants in the airspace, and without the additional C02 keeping the stomas partway closed. I've decided to just leave the tent open during the day and its sits right at 55% humidity. Now on to the flush...

Floración 🌺🌸

I didn´t expect for her to stay alive. After toppin, she keeps goin 🤭😅 25/08 LST on the main stem 30/08 LST on side node If she doesn´t get into flowering, I can let her grow this slowly for another few weeks, then I can do her a 12-12 inside the tent. If she has a nice size...

The purple lemonade is getting some beautiful sticky fat dank buds and the gorilla cookies is flowering nicely the node spacing is super close so i will be looking at some super dence fat sticky buds the smell is amazing i cant wait to have a joint with the two strains combined in it .
