During a beautiful spring evening somewhere in May, the idea came to me to choose for a new hobby. And because I enjoy gardening very much and also like to smoke a joint, I decided that night to try to grow my own weed. And I also wanted to challenge myself to grow the best weed I possibly can. That's when I started to read up on all the facets of growing cannabis. From materials to technique, from strains to the anatomy of the plant, I prepared myself for at least 2 months before even one seed went into the soil. And partly because of this thorough preparation, I can now say to myself afterwards that this is the maximum I managed to get out of it. And the great thing about all this is that after these past 4 months I have learned so much more! Therefore I already know for sure that my next grow will be even better. Below some tips for my fellow newbies, they might help you during your own grow... Material In addition to the lamp, the tent and the right nutrients, which I commented on above, I have benefited a lot from a humidifier and dehumidifier over the past 4 months. Especially in the first weeks of growth, a humidifier is very useful so that you can keep the humidity around 60% (or what the VPD chart tells you depending on the temperature). During the flowering phase it is very useful to use a dehumidifier so that the humidity remains below 50% and at the end of the growth even close to 40%. That way you also exclude the risk of mold and bud rot. It is also useful to use these devices during the drying process so that you can keep the humidity around 60% and dry your weed slowly (at a temperature of around 15.5 Celsius, drying takes about 14 days). Drying slowly and coolly definitely benefits the smell and taste! What's also really a must are an EC and pH meter, without these 2 instruments it is actually not possible to realize a perfect grow. Make sure you use a reputable brand like Apera, they are a bit more expensive but always deliver spot on. In total I invested about 1500 euros in material on my first grow. This is also because I wanted to do it perfectly and therefore only went for quality products. But all in all I think I earn back my investment within 2 runs, taking into account that both my friends and I will never run out of a joint 😊 Seeds Good genes are important to ultimately achieve a good end result. Therefore, do not save on the seeds and buy them from a reputable breeder. That way you can be sure that you will grow strong and healthy plants that can withstand pests and other negative influences. Well begun is half done and this is especially true when growing cannabis. Technique Of all the training techniques I have used, I would like to specifically mention one that surprised me the most: Supercropping! Because I did this grow using the ScrOG method, I wanted to create as even a canopy as possible. The type of lamp I use is also most suitable for this method. But no matter how well you train your plants, they will eventually stretch unevenly during the first weeks of flower. I therefore snapped about 8 stems using Supercropping, which made my canopy nice and even again in a way that each branch gets the same amount of light. And the colas on those branches turned out SUPER nice! Also the nuggets beneath were growing bigger because they too got more light. I will certainly use this technique even more in my next grow! Will I will definitely use a diary again I will definitely use VPD charts again I will definitely use a feeding schedule again I will definitely turn my light on during the day and off during nighttime again I will definitely use the ScrOG method again I will definitely choose a feminized American strain again I will definitely use a webcam again (Wyze Cam) I will definitely defoliate even more during the 4th week of flowering I will definitely go higher on lollypopping I will definitely Supercrop more I will definitely dry my plants slowly and cool again (15 days at 60% RH and 15,5 C) I will definitely continue to learn more and prepare myself even better for my next grow again 👊 Won't I will certainly not water my seedlings too much again 😅 I will certainly not go for 3 plants again, but instead for 4 plants per m2 I will certainly not hesitate to ask experienced growmies for help again 🙏 (next week I'll comment on the bud dry weight and give my final smoke experience)

buds are hard now, harvest on week 11 maybe. anyway this is week 9, loook at my sjiiiiiit

All received their final feeding early this week and they are on ph water here on out. Had to add the humidifier in this week for the first time with these girls as the humidity dropped to 47%. They should be on cruise control from here with just water. They have a really nice fade happening to their leaves and developing nice purple hues. Hopefully they will be ready to harvest in a week or so time. Daiquiri Lime is the frostiness by far!!!

~ 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: 8/3- After eleven weeks in veg the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod has finally stopped stretching and I think that this girl's getting ready to transition into flower thank goodness! Our weather has moderated somewhat with daytime high temp's now in the 89-93℉ range but it still remains very dry requiring the daily watering to continue. 8/5- Today I watered the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod as usual at sunset with around 8g of well water from the garden hose. 8/7- We finally have some much needed rain on the way in the way of a tropical system which will be bringing on and off showers from today through the 9th. As a result of this gift from above I will not have to water the rest of this week! I am going to add a 7 foot support stake next to the plant to help support her if we should get any high winds. 8/9- I'm thankful for the support stake that I installed next to the plant, then tied the plant to it as we encountered pretty strong winds yesterday and I think that without the stake, the plant may have gotten knocked over! The rain is supposed to end this evening and be sunny tomorrow so I'll be outside first thing in the morning to check on the plant to see how she made out through the storms. Hopefully next week the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod by FastBuds will be shifting gears and then the fun can begin!!! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

I was very shocked on how fast it grewand how much it produced very great strain a must for you Indica lovers very strong I went to about 80% red hairs perfect smoke a lot of cannabinoids and a lot of leftover sugar leaves great for lovers of bubble hash

Day 64: Her buds are filling out. Still no trichomes and very little smell, but she seems happy and will probably just take her time to develop her buds. Reducing the watering frequency to give her some drought stress. Day 66: Trichome production slowly starts.

Super excited to see the weight after dry 😬 didn’t weigh any plant when cut !!!!

This week everything continues to progress smoothly with no major changes. I slightly reduced the LED intensity, and the plant is now receiving around 650–700 PPFD to keep the environment balanced during flowering. For now, I’m just maintaining stable conditions and letting the flowers continue developing 🌸💪

250ml c/u 0.5 Micorizas @colectivo 1ml Calmag @biobizz 1ml Bio Grow 1ml Bio Heaven Riego día 21 250ml c/u 1ml calmag

The clone looks nice, I have some issue ( in my opinion ) with cal mag but balance is great 👍 Any suggestions??

So I have decided too pot up the 3 toronjaz girls into bigger pots, 1 because the older girl needed it but 2 also because I feel they needed space and a new home too stretch their roots out 🌱 The above blend will hopefully help these girls soldier through these first crucial weeks, let's keep our fingers crossed 🤞 I'll be doing light lst over the next week for the older girl, maybe top her end of week 3 maybe 4 depending on how she grows 🌱 Light feeds slow and steady will do as new too aptus buy I hope I can do well with them as they seem really simple too use and also their website has lots of usefull info incase I'm in need 🙏👏👊 These will be tidied up and given this space too their selves once my fastbuds testers in the back there are ready for new pots and their new space I have waiting 🌱

I have gone through the tent this week, and I have removed a lot of the lower branches on the plants, as they're not going to grow into big colas or anything. So it's better not to waste the plant's energy, developing those to hopefully redirect it into the larger flowers. Orion F1 Liquid Nutrients. The plant is developing the buds. Now, it has stopped growing vertically. This plant is 1 week behind the other plant in the experiment due to some nutrient issues. So it's not quite as far as long as the other one. However, it is not going to be as big a plant. The buds are developing nicely, and even though we might get a lot less, it will be nonetheless good, Bud. Hoping for some big colas, that would be really nice! 😅 The plant is really developing the flowers while they look really dense, and like they will be some very top shelf buds! The buds are beginning to stack on weight now, and hopefully, we'll just see the colas become larger and larger as we go on from here! I'm really impressed with the organic dry amendment plant, and the organic dry amendments are really working wonders, and that's been really eye-opening for me during this experiment! I'm very pleased that Royal Queen Seeds were kind. Enough to allow me to try this experiment with some of the F1 hybrid strains. It has been, and continues to be an extremely exciting experiment, and I am again learning more and more with each plant. I cannot wait for harvest and to see what these buds look like after I've dried and trimmed them! 3.8.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.2 PPM: 371 I've just been keeping the medium, not bone dry, but there were some fungus gnats. So I have let it dry out more than I usually would probably, because I wanted to sprinkle some Diatomaceous Earth on the soil, and it only works when it's dry. 4.8.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with; 💜 3ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1.25 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 385 I am going to top dress next week as I checked and it has been exactly a month since I last did one. Thanks for checking in and hanging out 😁💚✌️🌱🤞🧡

Week 6 of flowering: resin production is getting heavy and the plant is frosting up nicely. Buds are still somewhat underdeveloped in size, but there are a lot of them across the canopy. No more training or adjustments this week — from here on it’s just feeding properly and letting her finish.

Auch diese Woche verlief wieder recht entspannt. Die Pflanze weist momentan keine Mängel- oder Stresserscheinungen auf. Die ersten Tage der Woche durfte sie sich noch von den vorangegangenen Entlaubungen und dem neuen LST erholen. An Tag 46 lagen die Triebspitzen einheitlich bei einer Höhe von 19-20cm und die Beleuchtung wurde auf 12/12 umgestellt. Tag 47 war dann der erste komplette Tag mit dem neuen Lichtzyklus und zählt ab hier der Einfachheit halber als BT1, auch wenn ich diese Woche hier noch als Wachstumswoche eintrage. Das ist mein erster Grow mit dieser Genetik, aber ich hoffe auf einen Stretch von ungefähr 150%. Zum Ende der Woche lagen die acht Haupttriebe nach nur leichten LST-Korrekturen relativ gleichmäßig bei etwa 22 cm. Der Stretch scheint damit langsam einzusetzen, die Struktur bleibt bisher aber noch sehr homogen. Das sie vor allem mit der Umstellung des Lichtzyklus anfing ziemlich durstig zu werden, wurde diese Woche insgesamt 3 mal gegossen. Dabei habe ich begonnen, das Düngeschema langsam in Richtung Blütephase zu verschieben. Hierzu wird sukzessive der Fish-Mix durch Bio Grow ersetzt und zusätzlich kommen CalMag, Bio-Bloom und Top-Max hinzu. 1. Gießvorgang: Tag 43, insgesamt ~3,2 Liter (1.5ml/l Fish-Mix, 1ml/l Bio-Grow, 1ml/l Bio-Bloom, 1ml/l Top-Max, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, 0.4ml/l CalMag, ca. 0.29g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.3, EC-Wert ~1.7mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 5.1kg, nachher ca. 7.4kg) 2. Gießvorgang: Tag 46, insgesamt ~3,3 Liter (1ml/l Fish-Mix, 1.5ml/l Bio-Grow, 1ml/l Bio-Bloom, 1ml/l Top-Max, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, 0.81ml/l CalMag, ca. 0.24g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.5, EC-Wert ~1.7mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 5kg, nachher ca. 7.4kg) 3. Gießvorgang: Tag 49, insgesamt ~4 Liter (1ml/l Fish-Mix, 1.5ml/l Bio-Grow, 1ml/l Bio-Bloom, 1ml/l Top-Max, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, 0.81ml/l CalMag, ca. 0.24g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.3, EC-Wert ~1.75mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 4.7kg, nachher ca. 7.2kg) Der Abstand zur Lampe wurde diese Woche weiterhin bei ungefähr 40cm und die Lichtleistung bei etwa 600PPFD gehalten. Mit der Qualität der Webcamaufnahmen bin ich zunehmend unzufrieden und werde diese eventuell in den nächsten Tagen durch ein etwas neueres Modell ersetzen.

Bueno ya empezamos ahora a sumar semanas y ver el gran resultado de este gran banco

The cursed sixth week, I wasn't careful enough. First, a branch broke off near the base, but it's still hanging on the stem and fighting for survival. Two days later, another branch broke, but I was able to fix it immediately with aluminium tape. This strain is not ideal for my training. It grows too tall and the branches become very thick very quickly. Great genetics, but unfortunately not for me as I am very limited in terms of height. I will make the best of it. Light Power: 60% Day 35 LST Day 37 Photoshooting LST

week 2- nutrient toxicity+ remedy. Repot with fresh soil mix Fox farm 50/50 cream of the crop (coconut coir/perlite), worm castings, lime pills, orange pills, eggshells, natural activated charcoal.
