Popped these seeds on Monday (30/03/20). Germination Method: Soaked seeds in Vitathrive overnight and transferred to Jiffy pellets. I used the excess water with Vitathrive to soak the pellets 👍. Two days later, what I’ll reference now as P1, popped out. P2 is two days behind. These seeds were sent from BF over a year ago. Day 5 - Placed both in 1 Gallon fabric pot with an amended Coco Coir mix. Grow medium (per 1 Gallon) in Vivosun 1 Gal Fabric pot. Coco Coir, 1.5 TBSP of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 2 TBSP Earthworm Casting. I debated doing a synthetic run again but love the simplicity of using Gaia Green. I will start early giving the plants some Organic Cal-Mag for General Organics. Outcome of mix TBD LoL... Lights: HLG 65W 4000k QB for the first 2-3 weeks depends on space. HLG 95W - Week 3 to 6 or until the 3x3’ tent is open for business. I plan (I change my mind on a daily so we’ll see) to do a two plant in a 3x3’ flowering tent under the HLG QB 288 (260W 3000k) Game Plan Last grows I had amended my mix with Feather Meal which caused Nitrogen Toxicity in both plants. For this run I plan to start extremely light and adjust accordingly, meaning I’ll top dress with FM as needed or maybe at week 2. Plants currently under humidity dome with vents open as I have the strawberry nuggets on the other side finishing up (need low humidity for the next two weeks). Veg time will be at most 6 weeks if I’m running both plants in my flowering tent. Recommend flowering time for this strain is 9-10 weeks therefore plenty of growth will occur once the switch is flipped to 12/12. Why Phantom OG? We’ll I’m a fan of Sativa Dominant Hybrids. Read great reviews on this strain and looks like a strain that will produce enormous buds, to be seen.

another week on full dose. 3-4 weeks remaining.

~ 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: 6/16- Week Six is here and the Papaya Sherbet from FastBuds is beginning to finally take off! Our weather is beautiful now with daytime high temp's in the 80's F without a lot of rain so I am watering her daily at sundown with approximately 5-7g of well water. 6/18- I gave the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod a good watering today at sundown via the garden hose with straight well water. 6/20- I watered today and also did a little canopy maintenance, removing some leaves down low, along with some small shoots that would only sap energy better used elsewhere on the plant in the future. 6/22- Six weeks from seed and I have a sneaking suspicion that the FastBuds PApaya Sherbet photoperiod is getting ready to take off in a big way! I could be wrong, but we'll have to wait and see! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Perfect grow

Tent is virtually full. This is day 8 of flower and stretch has begun. 2 plants showing pistils.

Done some LST last week to open up the plant. The SCROG net was setup a few days after that. This strain is showing a lot of branching, it might work really well with the SCROG method.

Now they showin the First signs of their beautyfull flower Parts 💚🎒🔥 I Head Never such big Fan leaves like on #2

03/01 Wow, I’m honestly blown away by how this grow is progressing! In the last 24 hours alone, they’ve guzzled an incredible 45 liters of water. 😲 I mean, seriously, that’s insane! The stretch is probably just about wrapping up, so I’m keeping busy tying them down for now. Once the stretch is over, I’ll be going in for some selective pruning—there are just so many new shoots popping up. I’ve got to say, I’ve never seen growth like this before. It’s exhausting, though, and I’ve already run out of zip ties again! 😂 So, tomorrow’s mission: stock up on more. I’ve noticed a few slightly discolored leaf tips here and there, but it’s really minimal. That’s exactly what I’m aiming for—pushing them right to the edge without overfeeding. 🎯 Also, I just realized it’s been over a week since I added any CO2. Maybe that’s why I’m seeing these tiny signs? 🤔 Something to experiment with moving forward. Honestly, I’m so curious to see where this grow takes me—there’s so much potential in these plants! Stay tuned, folks. 🌿💪 06/01: Last night, I started defoliating, and I really went at it with a ruthless approach. I didn’t worry about branches snapping while scrogging—my philosophy is simple: the strongest will survive, and the weakest will wither away. Survival of the fittest in action! I also noticed that one plant seems to be either too wet or too dry. I’ll need to keep an eye on this one because there’s quite a bit of dying foliage at the bottom. My gut tells me it’s slightly overwatered, although that shouldn’t really be an issue with coco. Still, better safe than sorry! 🌱💪

Stretch has finished. Starting full on bloom formula. I always use 50% of what the listed recommended amount is. Full dose is just too strong. Major defoliation three days ago. Filling in fast. Will not defoliate much now till preharvest other than removing leaves to expose bud sites. Next week is the first flower flush. 24 hours straight water, then back to nutes. Always perks them up. PPMs dropped in number 2 this week from 800ish PPMs to 600ish PPMs. 1 is a much lighter feeder. The root mass of each are so different. 2 is long like a hippy's ponytail while 1 is more like a wispy, wiry Afro. Both are healthy and continueing to stack well. Frost is showing and the aroma is quite strong already.

Hello everyone. We're doing well, we've been growing for 7 weeks and we're blooming, the binge has gotten stronger, the bumps are getting more and more. We've added more of these supplements from Xpert Nutrients. Bloom Booster Sticky Fingers .

Week is going great everyone. The canopy allowed all the plants to green up. I guess they were getting sun/heat stressed and it caused them to yellow. At first I thought it was over watering, but not watering did nothing. I'm actually watering a bit on the heavy side this week. I'm also thinking it's about time to add some worm castings. 1 girl identified on DAY 57 (she's tall and leafy, has a little red on one of the lower leaves' stem). I'm going to bend her a little and have her angled across the pot. She has one companion that hasn't been identified. 3 males identified as of DAY 63 --all three tall--one thicker than the others--all 3 taken down--great roots--orange danky aroma--not planning on keeping males this year--but it still hurts a little to take a plant down. :-( Thank you to all the likes and everyone else viewing. The outdoor season is in full effect. Happy growing!

Plant is growing well. Transplanted them from a 1 gallon pot into a 3 gallon pot this week.

GOING ON VERY WELL...

04.08.2024 high heat weave this week, we hit 38°c with 80% humity almost all day. But what a massive stretc almost tripple in size. FastBerry still show leaf and node mutation but grow really well. By the end of the day i find a masive egg invassion on one leaf of the fast berry, no idea whit it is, and dont really want to wait to see what have decide to turn my lady in a breading chamber. the leaf have been removed and throw away in the fire bin. The camber berry have been treat with my neighbor garden insecticide in prevention of further attack.

So I was thinking that growth is quite slow in the last two weeks. Then I discovered that the roots were looking weird, and noticed fungus growing on them. So I took the roots out and you can see the problem yourself in the pictures. I removed the bottom part of the roots and I added new coco in the pots, then I placed the girls back. It's been one week now and I can see new roots coming out at the bottom of the pots. The strange thing is that the 2 plants that were healthy(completely white roots) are also having the smallest buds 😒 Btw, I also flushed them with FloraKleen and H2O2(10%, 2ml/l). Then started feeding again, but with reduced nutrients - 630ppm I also elevated the pots, so they don't touch the trays anymore and started using the dehumidifier(50% humidity). I also bought a RO system and started using RO water instead of rainwater. Damn, I hope the harvest will look decent!
