~ 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: 7/2- Eight weeks since breaking ground and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is really starting to get going now despite our extremely hot and humid weather. The weather continues to be hot and humid and the daily watering continues. 7/4- 🎉HAPPY 4th of JULY!🎉 The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo has taken the heat like a champ and is transforming into a very LARGE and beautiful lady! She's over 5 feet tall now and is stretching! She has maintained excellent vigor, color and has shown great resistance to pests and other stressors! 7/6- Yesterday we had a thunderstorm pass through early in the day, which provided about an inch of rain in a short time. I went ahead and watered in the afternoon, but only gave the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod approx. 3g of water from the well, via garden hose.🌱🚿. 7/8- The daily watering continues, as does our blistering hot🔥weather. All is well with the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and today, after watering her with 5g of well water, I gave her a good going over, looking at all the leaves topside and underneath and removing any leaves that were either yellowing or had other issues. Well folks, Week Eight is a wrap and the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod from FastBuds is going strong! See ya next week! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Pics are a little droopy as most are taken late in the day but moving along looking more sativa all the time.

Hello everyone 😎 Week 2 of flower for the Purple Lemonade auto from Fast Buds 💥 She grew fast with a beautiful green color,for the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds from Plagron Spider Farmer SE-7000 60% Have a nice day 😋

These ones almost done getting frosty

Some dank top to bottom super dense tricombs and the smell is so strong

Tried not to mess with them too much this week. Less stress for everyone!

She had a great start but then it degraded. I had to cut a bunch of burned leaves. Since last topping new sites spread out and she seems to recover. # D53 I went walk in forest and disovered very nice mulch with mycelium to prepare JMS (JADAM microbial solution) with it: Ingredients: - 200/300g of forest mulch with mycelium - 2 gallons of dechlorinate water - 3 cooked potatoes - 7.5 gram of sea salt Preparation: - Add the water to the bucket. - Add potatoes inside a mesh filter (pantyhose) and add forest mulch to an other filter, stick them to the bucket. - Add salt, mix the water to dissolve it. - Massage the patatoes filter then massage the mulch filter. - Some reaction could be observed, the water moves like a current in the sea. - Place the bucket covered with tshirt inside grow tent for approx 48 hours. # D55 Feed with 3 liters of dechlorinated water and JMS at 1:10 ratio. # D56 Prepare AACT based on: - 5 liters dechlorinated water - 15 ml molasse of sugar can - 15 ml Bokashi tea - 30 ml JMS - 125 grams vermicompost - 12.5 grams nettle - 12.5 grams horsetail - 5 grams growing guano - 5 grams fish hydrolyzate - 5 grams epsom salt + calmag # Day 57 Feed with 3.8 liters of AACT.

Hola con esta semana ya quedamos al dia con el seguimiento ya que estaba atrasado en el tiempo. Se nota una producción de resina notable en esta genética que nos ha gustado mucho por su olor y estructura de las plantas . hemos creado un video por cada una de las 14 plantas del seguimiento, hay varias muy llamativas que están "pre-seleccionadas" para mantener a futuro, el olor que se llega a sentir es muy florar y dulce, si tienen alguna pregunta no duden en preguntar saludos. Hello with this week we are already up to date with the follow-up since I was late in time. There is a remarkable resin production in this genetics that we liked a lot for its smell and structure of plants. We have created a video for each of the 14 floors of the follow-up, there are several very striking that are "pre-selected" to keep in the future, the smell you get to feel is very flowery and sweet, if you have any questions do not hesitate to Ask greetings.

Day 43 , 6 and a half weeks . She started to cloud up and has a few amber trichomes . Buds as starting to really full out now

Hello. I've harvested the Mega Mouth. WOW!!! I'm very impressed with this strain. Over 1.5 k for 5 plants. and it was finished by Aug 20 with the tents help. I'm trying some new (for me) categories to add to my report. Plant Stretch (PS) 1 to 5- 1 is hardly any stretch. Bud Mutation (BM) 1 to 5- 1 is a beautiful normal bud- 5 is big weird growths like foxtails. Trim- How easy or hard it was to trim up 1- you blow on the branch and hang it up. 5- Is very hard to trim takes a long time. About- Best guess on the THC % (I've been smoking a long time) Resin- 1 is super slippery 5- is very sticky like Gorilla Glue. Size of Buds (SOB) 1- is very small 5- is the biggest buds Dense- 1- is the lightest or fluffiest 5- is the rock hard buds your bud buster has trouble busting up. Plant #1 Wet Trim 1647 g PS. 3.5 BM 3.5 Trim 4 About 21% Resin 4 SoB 4 Dense 4 Finished Dry Weight 289.5 g or 10.33 oz. Plant #2 Wet trim 1606 g PS 3,5 BM 3.9 Trim 4 About 22% Resin 3 SoB 4.7 Dense 4.3 Finished Dry Weight- 302 g or 10.78 oz. Plant #3 Wet Trim 1635 g PS 3.7 BM 3 Trim 2.8 About 20% Resin 2.8 SoB 3.7 Dense 4.5 Finished Dry Weight- 314 g or 11.21 oz. Plant #4 Wet Trim 1753 g PS 2.5 BM 2.5 Trim 3 About 22% Resin 4 Falls off easily- Clumpy Dense 2.5 Final Dry Weight- 343.5 g or 12.26 oz. Plant #5- Wet Trim 1787 g PS 3.5 BM 3.7 Trim 3 About 24% Resin 2.5 Dense 2.5 Finished Dry Weight- 355.5 g or 12.69 oz. The taste is sweet and smooth to go down with a nice balanced buzz. There was some pests around. I found thrips damage in veg and got some Spinosad to take care of that. Saw some fungus gnats around but they didn't do much damage. Easy to grow and trim. This is a recommended strain. Chuck.

Over all was an amazing grow, super sticky dense nugs with smell of berries, highly recommended for everyone!!

Week 8 Flower — The Frosted Finale Approaches As we enter Week 8 of flower, our Sundae Driver ladies have transformed into something truly spectacular. The tent feels alive with energy, coated in that glistening, diamond-like frost that every grower dreams of. These girls have come a long way—from seed to strength, from gentle sprouts to towering beauties—and this week’s photos capture that evolution in every sparkling detail. A Quick Recap for New Friends For anyone joining us now, welcome to the ride. This grow began with three seeds from Zamnesia Seeds, all of which germinated successfully. We selected two phenos—our Sundae Driver #2 and #3—and nurtured them through an exciting, experimental journey. They were fed a balanced blend of Aptus Holland and Plagron nutrients, grown in a rich super soil mix, and guided by the precise control of TrolMaster systems and the steady illumination of Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs. Along the way, we explored advanced techniques—most notably, the Super Crop, which became a highlight of this grow. The Scene This Week Now in full bloom, both girls are thriving under the lights. Their colas are massive—one could easily compare the main stem to the size of my arm. Dense, weighty, and coated with trichomes from tip to base, they’re the very definition of healthy flower formation. The aromas are complex and sweet, a creamy mix that hints at their Sundae heritage. Even from a distance, the frost catches the light in a way that makes you pause and admire. Environmental conditions are holding steady despite the hot season outside. • Room temperature: around 28°C • Humidity: 62% • VPD: approximately 1.3 kPa With the AC doing its best and airflow dialed in through dual 6” carbon-filtered extractions, the girls are comfortable, breathing easily, and continuing to bulk without stress. Feeding & Formula This week, we continue with our refined nutrient mix: • Aptus Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L • Plagron PowerBuds: 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal: 1 ml/L EC hovers around 1.7, and pH remains close to 6.1. The soil, enriched and alive, holds an EC near 2.9, providing a self-sustaining foundation for these late-flower demands. Watering now follows the natural rhythm of the soil, ensuring each feed balances moisture and oxygen at the root zone—key for healthy ripening. The Art of Super Cropping Remember that bold super crop on Pheno #2 back in Week 4? She’s the living proof that resilience meets reward. The bend healed perfectly, redirecting energy and light into multiple bud sites. The result? An even canopy, incredible bud density, and a plant that carries herself like a true champion. For those hesitant to try this technique—let this be your sign. Super cropping, when done with care, can unlock your plant’s full potential. It’s a gentle stress that brings powerful returns. Don’t fear it—learn it, trust it, and apply it with love. Looking Ahead Week 9 will mark the start of the ripening stage. Expect pistils to darken, trichomes to shift from clear to milky, and the terpene profile to deepen even further. Patience becomes the grower’s greatest tool here—this is when the real magic happens. We’ll soon be talking about fade, flush, and preparation for harvest. Thank You, Family To everyone following along—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you’ve been here from seed or you’re just joining now, your presence means everything. To the lovers, the haters, the curious, the passionate—thank you. Because together, we grow. And to the partners who make this possible—Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, Spider Farmer, and TrolMaster—your innovation fuels these gardens. This project is more than just growing plants; it’s about learning, sharing, and celebrating life itself. Love, patience, and curiosity—these are the lights we all grow under. Let’s keep shining. Dog Doctor Official P.S. For those of you still hesitant to try new techniques like super cropping—this grow stands as living proof that it works. When done gently, with care and understanding, it brings structure, strength, and new potential to your plants. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S.² As these girls start to pack serious weight, make sure every branch has proper support. Heavy buds are a blessing, but they can easily become a heartbreak if left unsupported. A single snap can cost you a beautiful cola. Use plant ties, yo-yos, bamboo stakes—whatever fits your setup—and keep a close eye daily. The last stretch is when your plants give their all, so it’s our job to help them carry that gift safely to harvest.

beginning of week 5 of lowering

Me está resultando muy útil tener el TrolMaster TCS-1 Tent-X ya que puedo tener una visualización rápida de la temperatura y la humedad en tiempo real, y también de las últimas 24 horas y de los últimos 7 días (week) Así puedo ir ajustando la extracción para tener una VPD ideal, y tener una pantalla que te indica si estás en rango, en función de si estás en Fase Vegetativa, Floración o Stress Es genial a su vez tener un tabla / grafico visual de VPD en función de las fases. Mira las últimas fotos para ver esta tabla tan interesante!

Good week of growth. Bud sites are starting to come together. Brooke is still really close to light, will see what happens. Bent branches are doing well. 10-2 Buds are starting to look like buds. Got first good photos of forming colas.

This is where I really started to take a lot more pictures! Everything was coming along great, I had some slight nutrient lockout starting this week but I took care of it quickly! They respond very well to the training.

La semana fue realmente bien, el metodo scrog le ha ido a la perfección y el HST que tuvo inicialmente igual 💪🔥 La semana que viene sera la última que aplicaremos nutrientes para empezar hacer un lavado de raices progresivo 👍 La producción de resina sigue en aumento y los cogollos siguen engordando y prensandose 💯 El olor es realmente potente al tocarlos un poco y los dedos se quedan totalmente pegados 👏 Una genetica realmente sorprendente y con muchas ganas de probar esta delicia 😋

Another week has stared and thease girls are monsters! The Gummiebears is in a 4 gal pot and is 41 inches tall ( 52 from the floor ) and is outgrowing the tent ( who says you shouldn't too autos? Lmao ) and as you can see the other 3 are in 1.5 gallon pots and are monsters as well .. if I don't pull 20-24 ounces this run I will be surprised honestly.. side note.. I cut the 2 lines branches early on from the Cream auto and put them in a vase for 2 weeks and they rooted so I stuck them both in the same little container and they have settled in nicely as I see new growth daily.. it's gonna yeild me an additional half ounce possibly? Idk 🤷‍♂️ fun experiment tho .. hope everyone is doing well! Happy growing! Likes and comments are appreciated! ✌️

Welcome to another episode of Growfessor theatre, 4x8 edition! Week 3F, ladies are doing good. Added B-52 to the nute mix, LSD, Green Crack and Divine storm are hungry! Did some defoliation. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next time! 👽🌳💚
