What can I say, this week is going great. The plants are growing flat taps. The heads are slowly but surely fattening up and it starting to get smelly. The liberty haze in particular is a smell queen🤩 it has this insane bubblegum/fruity smell to it.. let's just say I'm starting to fall in love 😍 the tangerine dream on the bottom left is just growing like a absolutely machine and has a nice citrus smell coming through. And its growth has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Looks like it's going to hit the roof if it doesn't slow down🤣The stocky little blue dream #2 is starting to pack on some serious bud size for its age.. the plants not a fan of vertical growth but it looks like it will make up with bud size and structure 👌 Everything has been super mellow, I'm watering at the same PH the only thing added was some humic acid and fish emulsion for a bit of a booster. But otherwise letting them do their thing🤙

~ 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: 9/20- Here we gooo... Week 6 of flower and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiods flowers are exploding now! 9/22- My daily routine of watering, removing dead foliage and checking over the Papaya Sherbet continues. She is unfortunately starting to show signs of Septoria which is a bummer, but at least it's showing up late in flower so it hopefully won't affect the outcome too much. 9/24- Our weather has now cooled off dramatically, with daytime highs in the mid 60's℉, and nighttime temperatures dipping into the low 50's℉. As a result I have cut back on the amount of water the Papaya Sherbet photo is receiving daily. 9/26- There's another exciting week of flowering on the books for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo and from the looks of her, she only has a couple of weeks to go! I'm so excited!🤩 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Hey! Welcome to week 9 for Karen! Week 8 is now complete so please go and check it out 🙏. Big week last week... massive. Day 57: Fertigated 6l. Height 40cm. Day 58: Scent has stepped up again and I'm noticing some of bud sites starting to develop frost. Day 58.5 Flushed with 20l of PH & CalMag. Day 59: reorganised tent Day 60: Fertigated 3l. Karen has put on a load of frost in the last 24h. I mean seriously. Smell stepped up again. Height 44cm. Day 60.5: I have had a really good look at other KKA grows. I think Karen is going to need a few extra weeks. I think she will be ready for harvest in about week 14. So I think we have about another 4-5 weeks to go. Day 61: Adjusted the LST a bit. She's frosting rapidly now. 😍😍🤩 Height 45cm. Width: 60cm x 70cm Day 61.5: It is only 8 days since I *heavily* defoliated and I think I probably should do it again already. Things are progressing well at the moment though so I am trying to resist doing it too soon. She is still stretching. Day 61.75: Right, I have done some research and I have made a decision,. I'm going to give Karen 2 full weeks from the last defoliation on day 53, so on day 67 (i.e half way through next week) I will defoliate and perform final LST just to space out the colas a bite more at the "top" of the plant. Incidentally, Nesia is now easily the same spread as Karen.. Nesia is going to be much bigger than Karen. Check out Nesia here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/161801-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude If you are interested in the stunted Big Bang Auto - Bertha - who is 2 days younger than Karen, check her out here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/158111-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude - in the current week I have added various photos of the non-cannabis plants in my tent. Who knew basil flowers were so pretty? 😊 Day 62: Fertigated 3l Day 63: Height 47cm width 65cm x 75cm Week Summary: Another big week with a plant barely recognisable from herself a week ago. As well as the ongoing stretch she has started to frost over this week and I am hoping this continues because more and more is appearing all over the place.

Folder 13 — Blue Waffle — Pheno B Week 1 Vegetation — Building Foundations Hello growers, Welcome back to another update from the Zamnesia Tent project. As mentioned in the previous entries, this grow is being documented slightly differently than my usual diaries. Rather than grouping plants together, each phenotype receives its own individual journal. This allows us to follow every plant from seed to harvest and observe how different expressions develop, even when they share the exact same environment, feeding schedule, and care. Today we continue with Blue Waffle Pheno B, another young lady taking her first steps into vegetation. At this stage, the story is not about explosive growth or massive plants. It is about building healthy roots, establishing structure, and creating the foundation that everything else will grow from later. ⸻ The Environment Week 1 focused on consistency. The Zamnesia ecosystem maintained stable conditions throughout the week, providing an ideal environment for young seedlings to establish themselves. Environmental conditions averaged: * Temperature: 26°C * Relative Humidity: 71% Lighting was intentionally introduced at a slightly higher intensity than many seedling schedules typically recommend. The LED fixture was operated at 27% power, drawing approximately 86 watts from the wall and producing a measured PPFD of roughly 250 µmol/m²/s at canopy level. Part of this project is observing how these genetics respond when provided with strong but controlled environmental conditions from the very beginning. Airflow was supplied by: * Zamnesia extraction fan: Level 5 * Circulation fan: Level 4 This provided gentle air movement throughout the tent while maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels. ⸻ Feeding Program This week also marked the beginning of the feeding program. While the seedlings initially received only rainwater during their earliest days, they have now started receiving their first nutrient solution consisting of: * Plagron Hydro A * Plagron Hydro B * Plagron Hydro Roots Mixed to: * EC: 1.53 mS/cm * pH: 5.96 * Water temperature: 24.2°C The goal is not maximum growth at this stage, but rather creating a healthy root environment and preparing the plants for the transition into coco next week. So far, Blue Waffle Pheno B appears to be responding very positively. ⸻ Preparing For Coco A major part of this week’s work happened behind the scenes. The Plagron Premium Grow Bags were filled and hydrated in preparation for transplanting. Instead of saturating the coco all at once, hydration is being performed gradually using a reservoir-fed drip system. This slow approach allows the coco to absorb water evenly and expand naturally throughout the bag. Only distilled water was used during this preparation process. The seedlings remain in their starter containers for now, but next week they will move into their final coco homes and begin the next stage of development. ⸻ Blue Waffle Pheno B If Pheno A gave the impression of a compact and balanced seedling, Pheno B is proving to be every bit as promising. At this stage the similarities between the sisters are striking. Growth remains compact with very tight internodal spacing, producing a low and sturdy structure. The plant is finishing the week progressing into its third set of true leaves, and overall development appears healthy and symmetrical. Leaf coloration is vibrant and consistent throughout the plant, while new growth emerges clean and vigorous. The stem remains strong relative to its size and is already supporting the developing canopy comfortably. One thing that stands out is how confidently this phenotype is stacking growth despite its young age. Rather than stretching toward the light, the plant is focusing its energy on building a dense and compact structure. For a first week seedling, there is very little to criticize. The overall impression is simply one of health, stability, and potential. Sometimes a plant catches your attention because it is unusual. Sometimes it catches your attention because everything is simply going right. At this stage, Blue Waffle Pheno B belongs firmly in the second category. ⸻ Looking Ahead Next week should bring one of the most important milestones of the early grow. The move into the hydrated Plagron coco grow bags will provide a dramatically larger root zone and mark the beginning of full development inside the new medium. It will be interesting to see whether Pheno B continues to mirror her sister or begins revealing more of her own unique characteristics. For now, everything is moving exactly as planned. Healthy roots. Healthy leaves. Healthy growth. A strong beginning. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting these diaries. Special thanks to: * Zamnesia for the genetics, equipment, and support that helped make this project possible. * Plagron for providing the nutrients and growing media used throughout this run. * The GrowDiaries team for offering a platform where growers can document, learn, and share their experiences. * And of course, the incredible growing community whose knowledge, feedback, and encouragement continue to inspire growers around the world. The journey has only just begun. See you next week as Blue Waffle Pheno B takes her first step into coco and continues her adventure. Growers Love and Happy growing 🌱💙🍁

She ready to harvest ...the focus is the other two now.. the same stain look very promising now she getting into flowering branches are turning a bit purple.....just have to watch the purple paralysis n see wat she becomes

So as we step into week 6 things are starting to shape up nicely Seedsman - strawberry banana grape are fantastic frosty and loads and loads of heads due to me topping Seedsman- peyote gorilla wow I have not smelt bud like it before wonderful and full of thc Inhouse genetics- dolato is one frosty girl and starting to pack on weight Inhouse genetics- platinum gushers 2 different phenos one throwing out more people's red Inhouse genetics- slurrcaine smells like heaven and is the most dankest in my pheno hunt Phoenix seeds - super kush I brought these over from my last run very fast strain and smells really sweet Zamnesia seeds-larry bird kush 3 different phenos all smell different can't wait to see the out come Barney's farm - phantom OG I don't know where to start with this just simply dank Seedsman - bubba kush was a freebie which I didn't care about or take clones and omg its probly one of the best smelling plants I'm running so Im going to reveg it I can't lose this pheno Seedsman - super silver haze OG another freebie what I got and am quite pleased with Last but not least Seedsman- limited edition wedding cake 😋 I'm excited for this one but takes quite long to pack on the weight all in all I'm quite happy

What's up growmies🤟🏽 Week 2 in the books 👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I transplanted my babies on Monday 12/12/22 and fed them their first round of nutrients on Wednesday 12/14/22. Being that they all are autos except Caramelicious I wanted to get them transplanted as soon asap. It took about 2 days for them to get adjusted. The transition to the new homes went well, only one (Caramelicious) shows any impact. The tips of the first real leaves are yellowing. I believe it was due to her needing nutes moreso the transplant. I'm excited about this one because I am growing some new (to me) strains. Not much to report really. Business as usual at this point😁 Until next week my friends!!!! Happy growing and like always May the grow goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest!

We chopped down the plants. Now they hang out to dry in the tent. The Trichs looked very good. Some milky, some amber, hardly any clear. Just the way I want it. The popcorn buds were rather milky. So we have more of a couchlock effect on the head buds and the maximum THC on the popcorns. I'm really looking forward to the taste💚

BIG BIG apologies to Heather from fast buds & to Growdiaries & anyone who follows. The past few months have been a massive struggle, not just with temperatures & growing weed but on a personal level. My wife has been very poorly & with covid and everything going on, it's put a massive strain on us all!! I've tries to maintain an active presence on Instagram but that's about all I've physically had time for. I've put this update together today, so far into the grow now it almost seems pointless. I lost my original Mimosa due to high temps & high RH. Moving into the attic at that time of year was a mistake. It has cost me a small fortune to keep things alive. I've had to purchase an air con unit, more fans & just more of everything to be honest. My purple punch is almost ready to harvest, any time within the next couple of days, followed shortly by Bruce Banner & Kosher cake. I wont be winning any awards for this Diary & I feel bad as I was supposed to be show casing what 420 Fast buds has to offer & I've failed...miserably. I hope you can make sense of all the pictures I've included....just a mass photo frenzy over the past few weeks. Thanks to everyone & all your comments. Wishing you all the best. One Love ❤️

The Bubble OG plants are looking awesome! My tallest one is stacking up with super dense buds. It's crazy to think that the other one is almost ready to chop – the colors are so vibrant. And then there's that short and squat one with the purple leaves. It's definitely the oddball of the bunch, but I kind of like it. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

One of them seems to be herming, but I am glad I didn't harvest early, because it seems to be frosting up heavily near the end. I am going to be vaporizing the bud anyway, so a few underdeveloped seeds wont be the worst. Did some defoliation as it was looking really cluttered. As of day 69, I am not noticing any milky/amber trichomes yet. I have read that this can be an 11-12 week plant.

Hello yall!! Hope everyone is doing good out there and your plants are thriving. The 2 plants that are pretty much done already are the 2 Dolphin Wax. 🐬 It's pretty awesome to be able to capture 2 such beautiful different plants with 2 beans. The Isorins are doing wonderful. She's thicking up and busting Caylaxs. Starting to catch the fade in the begging of week 7. I'll do some more feeding this week withheld battle axe and the Isorin. I'll feed lightly. Do molasses foop water ph irrated balanced. Every of the day. For the week of 7. Try to keep the flavors locked in. I'll be back after a while updating. Thos are the thricomes of the Dolphin wax @ Day 49 bloom!! Holy smokes that was fast!!! Hoping these other 2 strains take a couple more weeks. Let em get darker and more full of flavors, thricomes and love haha

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Watered today, 1.2ec feeding of mainly organics (Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, Molasses, Big Bloom) with runoff. 6.8ph. Group one is stretching much harder due to plant density, I will be adding a net soon. Day 13 - Watered today with the nutrients listed for this week. 2.2ec at 6.5ph. 80gals total. Added a small dose of Open Sesame for the first time today as bud sites are starting to form on all plants. Added a net to Group 1 yesterday, I will add the nets for Group 2 in a couple days. Group 1 plants are 38-40 inches, group 2 plants are 32-34 inches. I may adjust net height, this isn't normally how I run a cycle; I'm trying a few different things side-by-side. The "one plant per square foot of canopy" group has consistently shown that even with a short veg period there is far too many wasted growth nodes on the sides of the canopy. The plants around the edge tend to branch out instead of up, as they're naturally trying to find sunlight. My last attempt at using these side branches with heavy topping of the middle nodes resulted in a higher yield, as expected as the light footprint was 5x5 instead of 4x4, which defeats the purpose of "one plant per square foot of canopy" anyways. A better test would have been to stunt the growth of all middle nodes enough to weave the side branches into the main canopy, though this seems to be a waste of time without much gain. I'm much happier with Group 2 which has 1 plant per 2 square feet of canopy space. While it also has side branching, the difference in height at the canopy level of the sides and middles are not nearly as different as Group 1, which means a more even light distribution without the need of a net. As overgrown as the room is getting, they still have 7-8 days before they're defoliated a final time.

12/13 Week 7 Changing the menu on the girls giving a little calcium to the mix Being a little difficult finding the sweet spot on them, hope this is it. 12/18 And it was the sweet spot, changing out the koolbloom for soul peak 10ml/gal finishing as Maddie is very close to flush. Tammy is not close yet she is still spiking those hairs big and bold so planning on one more week for her

.

Two out of three were fed with nutrients today on 8/10
