Gave them their 3rd and final heavy defoliation this week. Had lots of useless side branching that will just shadow out the good stuff and cause them to not ripen properly, a lot of this growth was due to the unintended extra 10 days they had in VEG before I noticed the timer wasn't doing what I asked it to do, just one of those things. Always a surprise in the grow room no matter how much you try to prepare and problem solve. I also had an air line manifold blow out this week which was very strange to see. Caught it early so girls didn't go without air for to long and I have 2 air pumps running so 1 going down is only a minor issue but still a great example of the random mishaps that occur when growing. If its one thing that experience has taught me its that less is more when it comes to how many colas you try to fit into a space. Do to many and you'll just end up with a load of mids, battling humidity problems and stress of keeping tons of half ripe colas falling all over onto each other come week 6 or 7. Everything is going great so far, no issues, although I have noticed some of the white hairs on the budlets have slight ginger tops (only a very small few) I have read in the past that this can be a sign of stress and potentially they might flip the hermie but I've done nothing to stress them so I am hoping this is just a abnormality from growing under LED. Boosted the nutrients up to 1000PPM now to let them feed heavy and pump those buds up. Hope you enjoy watching my grow and thank you all for the lovely comments and feedback, it is much appreciated ✌️

„Jetzt wird’s duftend!“ In dieser Woche hat die Cinderella offiziell beschlossen, erwachsen zu werden – und das sieht man ihr an. Die ersten Knospenansätze sprießen wie kleine Optimisten aus jedem Seitenast und rufen: „Jetzt geht’s looos!“ Sie steht breit, selbstbewusst und unglaublich vital da – wie jemand, der genau weiß, dass ihm die neue Frisur steht. :-) Die Blätter zeigen ein sattes, gesundes Grün, und die Blüten sind schön kompakt – ein Zeichen dafür, dass Licht, Luft und Biobizz-Nahrung hier ein echtes Dreamteam bilden. Die oberen Triebspitzen richten sich stramm nach oben und wirken, als würden sie schon Pläne für die kommenden Wochen schmieden. Insgesamt startet die Cinderella mit ordentlich Power in die Blüte: stabil, buschig, wuchsfreudig und mit dem unmissverständlichen Ehrgeiz, in den nächsten Wochen noch richtig aufzudrehen. So darf eine Blütewoche 1 aussehen – energetisch wie der Startschuss zu einem wohlriechenden Marathon.

11.06 - I watered them without fertilizers. They look good and healthy. The leaves around the buds at the tops begin to darken, this is the effect of adding trace elements. Next time I water, I'll add a little more. 12.06, I cut off the two lowest floors of the branches, I left the leaves in case there were any problems with deficiencies. Unfortunately, I've already spotted a few squids with my own eye plus what I caught with sticks. This does not bode well for the future. I'll have to double dose Soil Attack soon. 14.06 They growing fast, I hope that soon they will stop ;). Last watering was with a little bit PK and Bloom Stimulator from BAC and Soil Attack, Azot Bacterias and little bit BAC Silicium. Next watering will be only with little Bit Trace Elements to fight with manganese deficiency.

Picture 1 - Day 15 - Seedling 1 is 17cm now and I just started to do some LST. Picture 2 - Day 15 - Seedling 2.1 is about 7 days now and still growing good. Picture 3 & 4 - Day 16 - Seedling 1 LST Picture 5 - Day 16 - Seedling 2.1 first dose of nutrients, 1ml/L Picture 6 - Day 17 - Seedling 1 seems to have a calcium deficiency so Ill be purchasing some CalMag soon, I hope its not a rust fungi! 😅🙏 Picture 7 - Day 17 - Seedling 2.1 looking healthy and growing very fast. Picture 8 - Day 18 - Seedling 1 reacting very well to the LST, the calcium/magnesium deficiency seems to have stopped spreading. Bottom leaves still look kinda f'd up but I think it will stay like that forever now, new leaves look perfect tho. Picture 9 - Day 18 - Seedling 2.1 looking good. Picture 10 - Day 20 - Seedling 1 getting really big suddenly, I think flowering is right around the corner, so I will put away the humidifier now (its getting kinda nasty anyway lol). LST going really well. Picture 11 - Day 20 - Started LST on Seedling 2.1 seems to work well. Picture 12 - Day 21 - New Setup, 80x80x180cm. 100mm Carbon Filter. Picture 13 - Day 21 - Seedling 1 still going strong, LST is getting kinda stressful since they grow so fast. Picture 14 - Day 21 - Seedling 2.1, everything looking good! 😁

Habe sie vorgestern das letzte mal trainiert vor der Blüte 🍀 Wachsen wie verrückt mit dem richtigen Setup, das macht echt einen Unterschied. Selbstbewässerungssystem und CO2 Anlage habe ich mir ebenfalls zugelegt die in morgen Installiert werden. Noch ca. 1 Woche Veg dann gehts ab in die Blüte

I topped both these ladys yesterday. There starting to look indica I believe. Which what I was hoping for because I've got all kinds of sativa growing.

I got rid of one if the gas tax x obama runtz this week it was just not keeping up with the group. I'm already making a few if the plants wait to flower so other plants can catch up the one I killed was 10 days behind the next plant in the tent. On the other hand the plant still alive it's still small but soon as it got topped it reached fir the sky and started trucking along This past week, the plants went from being weak little plants that had just been top and now they are on there way to being nice and sturdy. I could flip them to flower now if I wanted. I plan on letting them grow a few more nodes on each branch before I give them the flip. My hopes is I get longer colas if I let it ride out longer in veg cutting off all the lower growth b4 flower. I have had the light on 25% still but today I raised it up to 3o% I like to have them handling 40% nicely before I turn them to flower

Day 50. Very annoyed at myself as 2/3 plants needed a strong feed, but the other one didn’t but forgot and fed the strong feed to all 3. As a result the 1 what was already thriving has now foxtailed on the main cola. Such a shame, but lesson learned. That plant will have just a water feed for the next week, and PH run off was also high at 6.8 also contributing to the foxtail I’m guessing so next few feeds will be PH at 6.0. Another 15 - 20 days to go I’m guessing, I will soon be swapping big bud out for overdrive, really make these swell to the finish line. Day 52 25% feed, ph 6.0. Day 54 Plant 1 Just water and calmag, this one will finish first yellowing fast now Plant 2 Best of all 3 plants, 50% nute feed Plant 3 Weakest of all 3 very low dose feed

Increased Buddy to 1mm p/l. Will be adding PK14 in the next 2 weeks as they're peak flower and will need the Potassium etc. These plants are at the front and to the right in the timelapses.

~ 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!💚😎🙏

Day 31 (from sprout): Upon my return, I found that the plants were underwatered given they are in living soil this was especially bad. The first thing I did was to defoliate and to install a new trellis net. Sadly I was tired and couldn’t reach / see my plants well and ended up cutting off two valid branches from the gorilla skittlez

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir, and added my bloom nutes, adjusted my light schedule to 12/12 and defoliated the plants. I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.1 My hope is that by flipping this cultivar earlier than my last run, I will not run out of vertical space ;). On day 2 I adjusted my reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 3 the clawing is almost completely gone. I adjusted the reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 4 the reservoir's PH is at 6.1. I defoliated the plants removing anything blocking lower growth to increase light and air penetration of my mains. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. On day 6 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir up from 6.0 to 6.3. I will let the PH drift between 6.1-6.3. on day 7 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. I lowered the light intensity from 100% to 85% to give the top of my plant canopy an average PPFD of 700-1000. I plan to reduce the intensity as the plants continue to stretch to keep them in the 800-1000 PPFD range. I just got my first quantum par sensor and I'm really loving the new data it gives me to optimize my lighting.

She's an octopus full of very stinky sweet nuggets man!. I'm in love with this black cherry punch #1 she's in a 30l pot and her performance has been amazing. Very happy with this lady. The aroma of the flowers is suuper sweet very like cherry and like strawberries. Such a pleasure to grow this Cherry pie 🥧🍒 cross 🔝💎👨‍🌾 PD: I had to tie some of the colas cause they were just Fallin cause of the weight of the nugs. A set of 2 branches broke because of the weight of the nuggets so I chopped it down the 2 colas and put them in the drying room.

Woche 5 und der Stretch nach oben beginnt endlich. Die Pflanze ist jetzt 50 cm breit und durch das Topping / Scrogging und dem 4eckigen Terra Aquatica Topf wächst die Pflanze auch quadratisch in das ScrogNetz rein. Höhe 25 cm, ich gebe ihr noch 4 Wochen Vegetation Zeit und stelle dann auf 12/12 um. Sie hat jetzt in 1 Woche fast 10 cm an Höhe gewonnen und trinkt 2 Liter in 3 Tagen. In einem Monat könnte sie 45 cm hoch und 60 cm breit sein. Und zum Schluss eventuell 70 cm hoch und 80 cm. Mein Ziel sind 90g Ertrag..
