~ 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: 6/8- Here we go into Week Five and all is looking great with the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod from FastBuds! 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 4-5g of well water. 6/10- I watered the Papaya Sherbet today and also did a little canopy maintenance, removing some leaves and some small shoots that would have taken energy better used elsewhere on the plant. 6/12- I gave the Papaya Sherbet photo a good watering today at sundown via the garden hose with straight well water. I am also planning on top dressing her in roughly 7-10 days from now with a blend of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and a little of their 2-8-4 along with some Wiggle Worm castings and a little Down to Earth Bio-Fish. 6/14- Another week gone and this little lady has really come along considering her late start and getting chewed on when she was young. All in all the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is shaping up to be one fine looking plant! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

May 20th and the biggest plant is making a comeback and is looking much better

Day 57-17/12/21 oh dear I don’t know what is going on after giving them some calmag they seem to being doing better day 61-21/12/21 some are behind others but should be taken a few down next week!!!

Future is loving the tent to herself, room enough to spread out and phatt up . She’s pungent as , sticky, and colas are like 3 ft long . This strain promises high THC and by looks of it I’m gonna get a bumper yield in around 2 weeks . Can’t wait for my time space continuum to be fucked up 😂😂😂😂😂

1/22 Week 4! Folded in some CalMag temporarily for a slight def showing up in Jool, foliar of same on all. Recovering nicely from topping will decide on 2cd later Jool recovered her normal color in just a few hours after feedings. Can pull the Cal-Mag for a while. Thought of increasing nuets a tad to 10ml but no need to rush just may have to hit them with Cal-Mag once in a while. Time to hit the roots again 10ml/gal Kangaroots one feed only 1/25 Leaving in a small amount - 2ml/gal - of Cal-Mag with CocoTek more for peace of mind than anything else Keeping them small till I have a place to flower then... then we pour it on. 1/27 Continuing to walk the line between keeping them healthy and keeping the size down - working ok so far Growing nicely although some concern found on Zhaan, feeding pattern on just the two tops shown, no where else. Nothing seen , sticky trap put up will check often for further. Not grabbing the Soap just yet see if anything else pokes up 1/28 Sticky trap clean so no flying critters Think hes right about strange leaves but I want to add I may have done some of this during topping. Just from what I see Bit of a conundrum the plants are near-ish to the size we wanted to flower them at BUT there is no room at the Inn, (sativas...) so we have one path to getting this done. Keeping them as small as we can without risking defs for another week then beginning the flowering in the veg tent Moya while the sativa finishes in 2 weeks. Thats one week of flower in the small tent at best, not sure about that. I swear two tents and one is a 4x4 and still space problems... good to have that problem too 😃 That's the plan but we know there is about a ton of crap that will go wrong like that sativa taking longer. Re-eval in a week Feeding remains as before 1/29 Pic and vid to end week no further issues and the tent is now full. Good problem to have but its convinced us that flowering in Moya is problematic Raised lights to 24" to see if they will go up instead of out for a while. Defol the bottom end of the plants just a bit in attempt to encourage some vertical growth with that as well.

This Sexy Moma grew 9 inches this past week.!! And, it started to flower. I am really please at her growth and fullness. This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Second Time Around Candy continues to grow. It is beautiful and very full. All nutrients during this grow are from @Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice. It is touted as the only nutrient that I will need. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. Based on Sexy Moma's growth, I would say it is working!! The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

I’m ready for a smoke test 😂 hast the tent smelling like sour berries with some funk. Buds tightening up like a rock ; probably one of my better ones yet🤟

Pre flowering

Natural grow with all the cloudy,rain und Sun hours

Hi guys, So week 4 now and all 5 should be in flower/preflower stage by next week, the gelatocake are doing brilliant im not so sure about the sherbert mimosa. 2 lights running now so bloomplus bp2500 for gelatocakes and marshydro tsl2000 for the mimosa 550watt actual in ghe room now I Will update the the week and add pics. I have popped 2 x dark phoenix inhouse genetics and 2 x blue cheese from big buddha all 4 photo fems and will be vegging them in the back of this little room lol. Wish me luck and happy growing people. 💚💪

Big stretching...i think too far from the lights. she has begun flowering and smells good. Not getting orange, more lemon. She is leggy and I live how her leaves grow.

When I decided to start growing, I knew it was likely going to be hard, though interesting, work. What I didn’t expect was that it would be this much fun 😄 It’s been a pure pleasure watching their growth slow down while their calyx’s fatten, multiply and get frostier by the day. I lowered their nutrients because their leaf tips were showing signs of burn. Some leaves were also showing potassium deficiency, but I think that’s a result of their pH constantly jumping to 6.4 because they were under feeding most of last week.

Great fertilizer. Nitrogens a bit slow as it's derived from feather meal

MID-WEEK UPDATE: Gave the twins their second last feeding today. A few nights of 14-16 Hour Dark periods as well due to plans/not having timers but as I said before I think the longer Dark periods have really sped up the flower development. PURPLE IS STARTING! Some very nice purple is starting to come into the cals and sugar leaves 😈 Going to push some lower temps in week 8 to get as much colour out of them as possible. Arnold still heavy fan leaf fading. Ran straight water through the medium before todays feeding incase any build up nute locked it. Never fully bounced back from the last feed but also getting near the end. I have a feeling I'll pull Arnold first in week 8 then maybe let Danny go for a more couch lock. Danny: GRAPE SMELL. Holy, I don't know if it's more of a Grand Daddy Purp pheno or what but holy is the grape smell off of Danny insane. Almost like a different strain compared to the smells off Arnold. WEEK 6! HOME STRETCH OF GLAZED GROW #1! The smell is insane. What started as a premature musk has slowly evolved into sticky ass chocolate goodness, fresh mint/herb, and even some grape/fresh fruit smell on the fingers after defol and mold checks. Noticing a hint of that GASSS too as we start to enter the final ripen. This will also mark the final week of Nute feeding. Fed today and probably two more Weds/Sun. Then will switch to Molasses/Water for Week 7 and plain water for first half of Week 8 before the dry out. As you can see, Big Arnold is showing cal/mag and PH problems. Always bounces back after PH perfect feedings and I've been defoliating the faders as we go to save bud energy. It's been rootbound since mid-flower and I'm sure the whole root zone is a mess. The extra work I've had to put into a soilless peat-based medium like ProMix with a photoperiod plant has been great practice and experience but I'm looking forward to a few round of autoflowers and soil grows to dial back the difficulty settings through the winter months. Broke out the good camera for some shots since we're getting to the good stuff 😎 - Canon EOS 760d - 75-300mm - 50mm Have the twins hanging out with the SoundLink again for those good vibrations 👊 PLANT PLAYLIST: Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly Sublime - Sublime Shad - TSOL

8/26 Monday morning 12am They are doing good. The camera fell into a plant...so lucky it didn't hurt the plant..that never happened before. My grow is HAUNTED!!!! Dark Devils are doing pretty good. All the others are great. I need more dirt in Blueberry Auto by Seedsman I'll do top filling later this week. 2am got the microscope 👍👍👍👍 I swear she is like a pet and she’s playing dead with her tongue hanging out. It’s hilarious. I’m really enjoying this one. This is gonna be a lot of fun.👻👻👻👍👍👍👍. 11 am I ordered a new microscope!!! 8/27 Dark Devil looks pretty cool. All other plants are doing just great!! 8/28 turned lights up to 52 looking good 4/28 Dark Devil Auto Monster crawls out of Hell!!!! Dark Devil Auto looks like the war boy that figured out Furiosa stole the War Rig. !!!! I put a light tent over Dark Devil monster. I will need to trim the roots and make sure the trays aren't in standing water. Blueberry is in mostly Perlite doesnt take up water the same. New microscope nice picture but no zooming in, I got the kind with the wider mouth, narrow mouth is better getting close to plants.... after 2 years I just NOW figured out the plastic cover comes off?? not the lens cap....im retarded there's just no other way to explain it 8/29 She's ALIVE and wow! got some amazing pics a little blurry and shaky but Dark Devil Auto by Sweetseeds is the coolest thing ive seen. Doing the seed surgery worked. 8/30 Some amazing progress on the Dark DEvil. The others are great Medusa F1 is the strongest followed by Gorilla Strawberry. The lights on the right side of the Mars Hydro light dont seem to be as strong as the ones on the left is ill rotate the plants today. 8/31 5 am lights up to 55 Watts. They are doing good. RSQ Medusa F1 showing the strongest so far, not a surprise there! Fast Buds Straw Gorilla taking off strong next. Pink Kush CBD and Blueberry Auto by Seedsman up next and surviving in almost all Perlite. I will put more dirt in when she gets taller. Dark Devil is going steady and very strong just amazing. 9/1 Growing nice now I will top them all above the 3rd node to keep the grow small

Another banger by @divineseeds make sure your following them on Instagram awesome company awesome genetics top service and some top fire strains Thank you Divine seeds for this opportunity its been great and hopefully be doing work with you guys all the time now

🙈

D71/F27 - 10/06/23 - Added Nutes and water, EC 1 and pH 5.0 D72/F28 - 11/06/23 - Nothing to report D73/F29 - 12/06/23 - Added Nutes and water, EC 0.8 and pH 5.3 D74/F30 - 13/06/23 - Nothing to report D75/F31 - 14/06/23 - Added Nutes and water, EC 0.9 and pH 5.3 D76/F32 - 15/06/23 - 👉Changed Water. Some signals on the leafes. I think it is because of heat but I0m going to ask to the community. D77/F33 - 16/06/23 - I've asked to the community and is heat stress, so I'm going to change the light hours to 12/24 (4 only red ligh and 8 red-white)

Things are going pretty well. Running out of headroom so I may have to rig my light a bit higher before long. The buds are starting to fatten up and in seeing more trichromes each week.
