~ 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: 7/2- Eight weeks since breaking ground and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is really starting to get going now despite our extremely hot and humid weather. The weather continues to be hot and humid and the daily watering continues. 7/4- 🎉HAPPY 4th of JULY!🎉 The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo has taken the heat like a champ and is transforming into a very LARGE and beautiful lady! She's over 5 feet tall now and is stretching! She has maintained excellent vigor, color and has shown great resistance to pests and other stressors! 7/6- Yesterday we had a thunderstorm pass through early in the day, which provided about an inch of rain in a short time. I went ahead and watered in the afternoon, but only gave the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod approx. 3g of water from the well, via garden hose.🌱🚿. 7/8- The daily watering continues, as does our blistering hot🔥weather. All is well with the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and today, after watering her with 5g of well water, I gave her a good going over, looking at all the leaves topside and underneath and removing any leaves that were either yellowing or had other issues. Well folks, Week Eight is a wrap and the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod from FastBuds is going strong! See ya next week! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Last week, start flushing it !

A-Week 5(Day 39), B & C-Week 5(Day 35) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays All! 🎄 We’re you naughty or nice this year? I got a few upgrades for the garden, new AC Infinity Cloudline T4 fan and controller, as well as PPM/EC meter, and soil tester (moisture, ph), Yayyyyy! 😎💨 A is just moving along, I did two nutrient feeds this week, almost at full strength by the 2nd time around. She is doing great, no burn, no deficiencies showing as she starts her flowering life cycle. She started showing pre flower hairs early in the week, and is now starting to form nice calyxes and stack. B is doing just as well. She has almost caught up to her big sister A. LST is really going well as her canopy is looking . She also got 2 nutrient feeds as is loving life ❤️ C is still angry at me, or life in general. She did not get the same nutrients as the others, small dose, I didn’t feel she was up to it. Her branching is nowhere near as robust and thick as the other 2, I did have to defoliate as those massive fan leaves were blocking light to the branches so that would explain some of her stress, but she finicky…. I ain’t got time for that! I started soaking a new seed yesterday, An Auto Gorilla Glue by Expert Seeds, I may just cut my losses, and start a new seed… I haven’t committed yet, what do you all think?

Things are going well.

Day 31 - 38 (Day 32) I’m going to lower the humidity in the room to 55-60. Still no bananas but I’m still quite worried about #3 fully popping and ruining my whole crop. Since there is a good chance it’s going to herm, I’m going to give it with a small feeding today and watch it like a hawk this week. I think the boost actually made a decent difference in #5 from last week. I’m seeing slightly fatter main colas but that could just be from less topping/smaller plant or less nitrogen. I’ve decided to push my luck and give a boost to each plant. These things just aren’t filling out like they should. They look like they are on day 23 not 33. I’m going to top dress 3 tablespoons of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and later tonight I’m going to water in a low strength feeding of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m going to give a final heaping tablespoon of nature’s pride bloom to #5 so it can stretch to the end. I’m also going to lower the lights by a few inches. The tallest cola is now about 13 inches away and the rest of the canopy is at about 18–24. If I see signs of light stress I’ll raise it back up but I’m sure it could use the extra light on the lowers. (Day 33) I’ve been reading that bigger plants just take longer to mature and that’s probably why my plant hasn’t fully filled out or is about a week behind. I still could have done a better job defoliating some of the smaller larf branches on the bottom which just robs the good branches of energy. The more I think about it, the more I think I did a very poor job of defoliating the middle canopy. I’m still seeing lots of larf and small buds on the inside not getting much light. I’m still really worried about herms after finding that branch so I don’t want to stress them anymore. Removing suckers now is pointless. I missed my window of opportunity and now I have to deal with it. I’m going to slide an old DVD player underneath #6 to bring it up to canopy level. It’s lower buds are definitely not getting enough light. (Day 34) Ever since lowering the light, the canopy has gotten a few degrees warmer. I’ve noticed the buds don’t feel as sticky on top compared to the lower tucked branches that feel almost wet with resin. Outdoor weed grown in my climate will never reach the temperature where it degrades resin luckily. (Day 36) The buds are definitely swelling but not to the degree I want. Call me picky but I prefer my nugs as chunky as possible. I’m seeing lots of pistils but not much nug matter. Ive heard too many pistils can be caused by the overuse of alfalfa, kelp and seaweed extracts because of the natural PGR’s in them. I’m definitely going to reduce the amount of that stuff I use next round. I hope I’m just wrong and this tent is going to really fatten up this week but I have my doubts. (Day 37) A purple fade is starting on the underside of every plant except the bush who still is super dark green still. Last watering I got a nice amount of runoff so I’m just going to leave her until the end. I’m seeing a bit of yellowing on #5. I’m going to give it one final full strength feeding plus some rock dust and oyster shell tomorrow and that’s a wrap for nutrients. I might as well hit everything else with a final low strength 0-0-15 too. (Day 38) I’m amazed at how much this stuff smells compared to my last round. It smells very earthy and floral with a hint of pine. Definitely not that gassy smelling pine but more of a sweet pine.

Big yielder

Big week here. Got the girls transplanted to their 7 gallon pots. First time with pots this big. Gonna really let them grow. Got a little water with BT and mycorrhiza.

31/07/2025 20:00 Good climate sun came back and so did i Gorilla Z in full flowering stage now already opened the resin fountain,plant structure not so good but flowers Is coming up nicely,let's see what i'll get from her Look at the frostbanger just how beatiful It is,by far the best auto i grew,hope It Will not get mold or worst caught by snitches The other plants at home but soon all will be transplanted here

Seit Ende letzter Woche wurde das Licht auf 12/12 h umgestellt 💡 Die RP43 ist in dieser Woche nochmal ein Stück in die Höhe gegangen und hat sich insgesamt gut entwickelt. 🌿🌱 Auch die Vorblüte ist an Blütetag 7 das erste mal erschienen. 👀 Sie ist bis jetzt gut in die Blüte gerutscht🌱

Here we are at the start of week 2 for this Super Lemon Haze from Green House Seed Company Ltd. So after a perfect first week with rapid growth, good colour, no obvious malformations or deficiencies... I have begun to notice the very beginnings of what I suspect is interveinal chlorosis on the new growth. This would be consistent with the two older grows currently in progress. So I shall be applying a new seaweed extract fortified with iron both into the feed and as a foliar spray when it arrives. Still the growth rate has continued so far. I have moved the plant out of the makeshift humidity box it was in and it is now sitting on top of the pot it will be transplanted into. That will happen when a good number of roots are visible from the bottom of the pot. Lastly, I have started to leave the door half open as this drops the temperature by a few degrees, with the lights lowered and the tent closed it pushes 30 degrees celsius, with it half open it ranges between 25 and 26. am able to keep the humidity around 50% on average, but this ranges from around 60-65% right after watering, down to 45% within about two hours. It seems to settle between 40 and 45% whether the tent is open or closed. I am therefore periodically misting the coco surface and plants throughout the day. They never go unchecked for more than four hours during lights on, rarely more than two hours in practice as whenever I go past the tent I can't help but take a peek. Day 9 (W2, D2): I have dropped the PH from 6.3 to 5.8 on advice from @GrowingGrannie in grow question. Day 10 (W2, D3): Firstly, look at the different in colour in just 24h - I believe the combination of lowering the PH and adding Acti-Vera has made an impact in the iron deficiency. Today I have added seaweed extract with iron. This Super Lemon Haze at ten days is way ahead in terms of growth rate and size compared to all my previous grows. Overall it is about the same size at this point as the Big Bang Auto that is 12 days ahead of it. It is currently pushing out node three. Day 11 (W2, D4): The colour has further darkened and growth continues to accelerate. So far so good! I have transplanted to next pot 2l. I also flushed with PH balanced water and then fertigated. This is a test of the flush I intend on the other plants. Day 12 (W2, D6): Leaves beginning to straighten out. Day 14 (W2, D7): Height: 7cm Width: 9cm Nodes: 4 Weekly growth data: From 5cm Height to 7cm +40% From 6cm Width to 9cm +50% From 2 primary nodes to 4 +100% Week Summary: I think this is about as close to a perfect start as any plant I've ever grown. I am extremely happy with Citronella thus far and excited to see if between us we can keep up her developmental pace.

I applied a defoliation now on the second week to get that the light gets to every bud site,let's see how this wonderful little bush performs.

The plants are doing amazing! Both are producing more and more trichomes, and the buds are noticeably thickening up.🌱 #1 (the tall one) continues to impress—it’s now giving off a strong tropical mango scent! The aroma is so sweet and fruity, it’s crazy. Meanwhile, #2, despite being so small, has developed a surprisingly large main bud! The smell is completely different, though—leaning more towards a hazy, complex scent that’s hard to describe.🤔 Super happy with the progress so far—let’s see what the next weeks bring!😊

Hit the hydro store and picked up some Fishsh!t and Recharge. Added that, worm castings and some Down to Earth dry amendments to brew up a compost tea. Gave her a big sip on 3/4.

Talk about a mission accomplished, dam you Lamby… you had me excited at one point when I thought you were an auto, but to my shock, you are a regular, you just have a long ass flowering window… at least unlike her sisters within the 4th cycle, she did not reveg she just focused on flower, the buds are bulky and firm, scent is amazing, you would mistake her for a cheese strain. I should not be disappointed by the plant’s size! Because I planted her during winter, and all outdoor or greenhouse(unless you have a GH that is climate controlled), do not grow as big as the would during spring or summer season, and due to this factor, I only got 59g of wet bud. But I have faith the other ladies will produce a higher yields. Last I smoke this strain was earlier late summer or early Autumn, and from smoking to growing now harvest, I wish I am blown out the water with this strain, it’s time to conduct that questionnaire. Or even better go to an established cannabis club, and get them to samples bud, and ask for a review.

And here we are at our Zamnesia harvests, Northern Lights 1 - Born on 01.09.2024 - Harvested on 14.11.2024 precisely ten weeks and 4 days of life on this earth. ATTENTION - The other plant was harvested and documented in the previous week, for convenience and to better distinguish them at harvest time I divide them for you. Even though we are growers in our small intensive it is always a little displeasure to prune these masterpieces of nature and cannabis breeding but on the other hand the purpose for which it produced these buds full of resin is noble and if it remained there for a long time it would not come to a good end, so without further ado it is harvested. We evaluated the harvest because the flowers seemed to have been ripe for a while, very mature pistils, rock flowers that seemed ready for about a week but I still flushed for the best possible result in terms of organoleptic cleanliness of the flower. Pistils ripe at 80-90% and trichomes mostly clody, quite a bit amber and in the violet shades of the leaves reddish and violet gorgeous, really a beautiful show of trichomes. The scent is truly wonderful at the time of harvest I could not distinguish it well then slowly something sweet and fruity mixed with spicy came out a mix that always intoxicates me. The results in terms of quantity are not bad at all we will be around 30-40 the first one already harvested and 50-60 this one. We are very happy to be on Zamnesia's side and to show you what work they are doing with breeding. Soil - The plant was grown with the 100% organic Plagron Promix soil, which I really appreciated for its fantastic absorption coefficient and for an airiness that would not even require perlite, which I added in some cases. Fertilizers - From day one, fertilizers were calculated with the module on the Plagron website that allows you to calculate your customized fertilization schedule. I used: Alga Grow and Algra Bloom as basic fertilizers, Power Roots as a rooting agent, Sugar Royal amino acids, the very important Pure Zym enzymes that process the dead parts of the plant and transform them into fertilizer, Vita Race as a strengthening foliar, Power Buds that stimulates a very fast production of buds for real and the legendary Green Sensation booster without equal on the market. They are all available on the Zamnesia website in convenient packs perfect for growing, just do a simple search if you use mineral fertilizers and you will find the line that best suits you // At the link --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html On the Plagron website instead you can find the info and calculate your custom growing schedule At the link --- https://plagron.com/en The DS120w Growbox and the fantastic DF16 ventilation / filtration system are from Secret Jardin, there was a change of growbox between autoflowering and photoperiodic at a certain point for a height emergency if you notice discrepancies on the light models and growbox it is for this but everything should be fine.

WDrying waiting weight it . This was a good grow to get back into a rhythm overall great I will like to rerun using different soil and nutrients as well as switch up my training as well . I will update my journal once it’s completely dry trim and everything like that with better numbers and better information. The genetics were pretty good and solid overall I’m happy with my girl.

BCN Power Plant Week 14 11L Pot LED: SP250 (245W) for Flow. Stage Canna COCO Mineral Nutrients: 👇 Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 1 ml/L Power House Part A: 1.5 ml/L Calcium Plus Part B: 1.5 ml/L Stimulus: 1.5 ml/L Bud Explosion: 1.5 ml/L

Well pretty good week I would say, the only issue is we dint really see the total amount of our stuff but it was still great.

Day 60 from germination. I defoliated it at day 60 as I just came home from a weekend holiday. The orange sherbert is really slow to flower and I suspect it is its many side shoots and heavy but small sized foliage. I grew it once and I enjoy its citrus favour. Im pleased with it all in all compated to how little i had to work for it Im aiming for 130 - 150 gram of dry weight per plant and 15 gram per clone. Totally 500 - 600 gram. I have: 30 liter pot x4 6 liter pot x2 I water the plants when the grow medium starts to feel a little dry with 3. 5 - 4 liters for the big pots and 0.5 - 1 liter for the small pots. Always water with nutrient. I never skip nutrients. I try to water with a water temperatur around 17 - 18 degrees celcius
