During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

~ 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: 9/4- Here we go into Week 6 of flower for this epic GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower from FastBuds and she is on fire!🔥 I'm praying that our weather stays cool and dry for as long as possible for this gorgeous lady! 9/6- I have switched my watering schedule to mornings now with the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower, I want to do whatever I can to keep the nighttime moisture levels as low as possible in order to help prevent mold from forming on the flowers as they are huge and dense. I am also checking her trichomes every other day to try to dial in the ideal time to harvest her. 9/8- I'm continuing to water in the mornings on days that we do not get any substantial rain with well water via the garden hose. Today I went through the plant and removed as many old dead leaves as I could along with any shade leaves that were yellow. 9/10- I checked the GG4 Sherbet FF's trichomes today and they are getting very close, and I anticipate that she will be ready in the next few days! There's another week of flowering done for the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she is just about ready to be harvested which will, from the looks of her trichomes, will be in the next 4-5 days... I'm so excited!🤩

Week 15 - unstoppable growth! My measuring stick is at its end. It only reaches 180cm and we are above that. It's getting hard to reach and prune the top but I'm not giving up. Temp is stable, humidity at a nice level, lots of sunshine. This summer is really something. But we had a huge storm. Nothing a little tape cant fix. One of the early branches broke off, but my net caught it and with a little tape it's as good as new

The Mandarin Squeeze sisters are making good progress. I did a neem oil treatment on everything in the grow room 4 days ago. I am doing it again today. I have a pest but have not seen it directly. I find super tiny white clear sacs on the leaves. Might be eggs. Regardless I have everything on a treatment plan that I can treat. The video was done after all treatments, and training for the day.

Pretty much been hands off. Letting drip system take care of watering, and controller and inkbird manage climate and humidity. Been weening it off nutes. From 15-1800ppm to 9 to 450 today. All cloudy now so no more feeds. Little leftovers from final res top off then straight water till the ambers show up. Aiming for few. 5-10%

They have stretched a lot more than I anticipated for the first week of 12/12. Very happy so far and have about 19 cuts ready to test the strain in coco in my spare two grow chambers. I have numbered all the cuts in relation to which plant they came off so I will be keeping only the best two out of the 5 plants. Very happy with the growth structure so far, I normally top and train or scrog my canopies but want to just let them go to see their natural growth structure. In the next 5-12 days I will swap out the metal halide for my sodium bulb depending on how much they stretch.

Very fast seedling process, seeds stayed soaking for 24h and in the water they were already showing the first white root hair, another 48h in the paper towel and the day I potted them up they showed cotyledons. They took around 11 days to reach third node and complete germination but honestly I belive it could be faster if in better enviroment, mainly the humidity which was low and I transplanted them a day late. From day 5 I started feeding them exact same nutrients and ratio from the first vegetative week but starting at 0.4EC and increasing by 0.1EC/day until 1.1EC

I harvested when go began to see some amber trichomes, the plant grew very well, the maturation of trichomes was quite slow. The buds are nice and full bodied and the scent is very sweet and pleasant, reminiscent of gesolmino and strawberry bubblegum.

Nice flowering stretch time to see some buds soon i guess. It has stretched nicely i guess during the flowering period. I have upgraded the tent size to 1m x 1m x 2m and seems to be better air flow and humidity levels. Also changed the hygrometer to a AirComfort bluetooth wireless monitor which gives great detailed information on temps and humidity as per picture added. Finally pistils have developed cant wait to see bud sites.

Hey Now, this week went pretty good for the Acid Dough Auto, I started feeding her some PK booster/Kool Bloom, and also did a very light defoliation. I think I trained her out a little too far, because she only grew to about 30 inches. I think the sweet spot will be right in between what I did with the Wedding Cheesecake and this Acid Dough Auto. Not much to do now except wait for the buds to swell up and develop. I also posted a short video with a few pics from all my grows over this past year. Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has an amazing weekend, be safe and Blaze On!!!

So she's getting pretty close to being finished I reckon guys!! She's had pretty much straight water for a month or so now with only a few little feeds Her buds are feeling dense and have developed a beautiful purple colour (which I am trying my hardest to enhance!) They also have a beautiful citrus smell with some earthy overtones and are looking frosty!! Trichomes are still cloudy no amber! It's Tuesday 12/10/21 day 55 of flower and her next drink will be tonight and she will be getting a weak dose of feed, 1 maybe 2 more then flush!!!!

Flushing straight RO water not phed. I run 2 weeks of flushing so these girls will be done in less than 2 weeks. The purple has reallly started to show since the flush started and I dropped the temps to 70 -65 day and 58-62 nights dropped the reservoir temp to 60.
