Beginning of week 3 of flowering and plants are slowing there stretch down. I decided to let them come up into the second screen about a foot above the first screen. Second screen holes are twice as big as the first layer screen and is primarily to support the colas later in flowering. I stripped all the growth below the first screen so the plants won’t waste there energy on these lower beaches with no light under the canopy. I will be removing a few of the larger guard leaves later in the week on the top of the canopy to let light in to the lower shouts ready to come up, but not until after the plants recovers for a day or 2 from the bottom stripping. Smell is starting to ramp up, can really notice it strong when you open the tent now.

My camera that I keep inside my grow tent has infrared and that’s on me. Want to take pictures or look at it without having to open the tent up.

~ 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!💚😎🙏

Hello Growers & Tokers! Roots, roots, roots. At the beginning of the week they got transplanted into their final pot, 11L fabric. Medium used was Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. They were a bit down after transplanting but by the end of the week they were doing better. I'll leave her be for a week then I'll be topping to spread that canopy out and have loads of colas. Or at least that's the idea but two of them seem to be growing faster than the others so I might have to die those tops down. Take care out there and happy growing!

Hello and welcome to week 2 of veg phase for these five Epsilon F1 Hybrid ladies. Last week is now complete with daily updates and media so please check it out. For this week well frankly I am expecting massive growth. I have taken 3 fingered leaves from Normani today and five fingered from Ally. It takes more time to photo and diarise but it is rewarding to look back on! See you tomorrow! Day 9: Nothing to report. Sorry for lazy photos. Oh... I joined twitter @UnorthadoxDude Day 10: Fertigated 5l. Loving Ally's party hands 👈👉 Day 11: Normani has overtaken Ally as the tallest and largest plant. Dinah has overtaken Lauren in a similar fashion. All girls kooking good except for some odd marks here and there (see video). Today after the photos and video and when she was back in the tent. I took about 4 or 5 leaves off each girl. You'll see tomorrow. If you're here from Twitter, where I am also @UnorthadoxDude, please say hello in the comments! I've just joined and want to gauge if it is worth the time. Day 13: Heights: Ally 23cm Normani 28cm Lauren 24cm Dinah 19cm Camila 17cm The girls have begun stretching it seems. Day 14: Fertigated 5l and performed LST and defoliation. Normani height was 32cm. End of week summary: Huge week of growth and these ladies are only just getting started. The pheno difference of Dinah is stark but super interesting.

The smell of garlic in my house is so strong that sometimes at night it weaks me up;) generally all goes perfect, they already raised huge smelling buds with 90% dark pestels. So next week should be the last, looking forward to finish them.

Been rough last 3 weeks 3 storms 3 power failures lasted 3 days each time. Figured, I do harvest before the 4th storm coming in tonite. 9 days lost..vegging 2 clones for out doors 8 weeks to train.... Patients, timing is critical hopeing to transplant mid to late may. (Unless I put up cold frame). 06/17/2018 smoked my last bud today. Cutting clones soon,to grow,and trade might get Jack The Ripper (TGA) cutting,and LSD photperiod cutting as well.

07/09/2026 New week folks! This week is kinda busy. I have to either lift the light or drop the intensity. I personally would turn the light up to level 6. For the time being that is. I think I get to use a much higher intensity with the thingy I have. We'll see. It's a 500 watt light, so I have plenty light to work with. She is growing quite rapidly at least the leVes are all getting bigger. Readings: pH: 6.31 EC: 2.21 TDS: 1.57 Evening Readings: Temp: 68° I think I'm gonna change the water out instead of mixing a new gallon. I really don't want to though. It's wasting my poor nutrients. DLI: 42 mol PPFD: 631 PPFD 09/10/2026 The goal this week is clearing out the big leaves and cover leaves. Readings: pH: 6.3 (very steady) but it needs to be closer to 5.8 just don't know how. EC: 2.18 cU? The thing changed on me. TDS: 1.55 ppm? Temp: 70.1° ice bottle added. I'd like to keep it below 70°, like 65° would be good. Update: I have decided to defoliate my plant today. I've already removed a few branches that just won't reach through the canopy. I'm also taking all the big leaves off. The ones with purple stems seem to be a sign of readiness to me. That was quick. Lol there's a whole bunch. So I've got my work cut out for me. 07/11/2026 Readings: pH: 6.26 EC: 2.27 ? TDS: 2.28 ? Temp: 68.2° 07/12/2026 Readings: pH: 6.3 EC: 2.19 mS TDS: 1.6 ppt? Temp: 69.1° will drop a bit more. With the ice bottle, it'll cool down much faster. Granted it was 70° when I first opened the bucket. I took some more foliage and a few lower sites and branches that weren't going to make it. 07/13/2026 Readings: pH: 6.33 EC: 2.44 TDS: 1.74 Temp: 67.5° Honestly I'm not sure how it changes, but I have people trying to explain. Lol. My meter reads in both ppm and cm. I'm still not seeing how the TDS is higher than the EC. I'm confused. I've been topping her off with a half mix of nutes for now. Also I also increased the Hydroguard to 5 ml per gallon. I will get this brown stuff somehow. Hopefully it will clear up before I flip to flower. But there is so much root mass. I don't think it's getting all the bubbles. I have 3 air stones in there. It can't be oxygen related. Environmental is also out of the question. My system is pretty on point now. The water temp is fine as well. Just around 67°. I feel like I'm missing something. I'll update if I remember. 07/14/2026 Readings: pH: EC: TDS: Temp: She's about a half inch away from the net. She'll definitely be touching the net at some point today or grown over the net. That would be cool. I have a few promising tops. They are a little low, but I'm hoping for the next week and a half to really get some growth. And the trellis is gonna be used hardcore. I'm gonna weave this fucker like a bad sweater maybe. LMAO. She also looks great! The leaves are still kinda canoeing. Is the light actually that bright?! I need a person here to look at it and say yep or nope. Lol anyway, it looks more like they are opening up them old wrinkles. That has to be it. There's no way a photoperiod takes less than a DLI of 31.2 mol at this age. Nope. A+ environment. AI is coming through! 76° and 60% humidity. Readings: After a 1 gallon top off. pH: 6.26 EC: 2.69 TDS: 1.92 Temp: 67.8° I think I'm gonna do a plain water bucket with hydroguard for a couple days for the flowering period. 07/15/2026 Readings: pH: 5.88 EC: 2.41 mS TDS: 1.84 Temp: 67.5° Light changes: I added the light from the net distance. DLI: 41.2 mol. PAR: 621 ppfd Distance:: 24" 07/16/2026 We have touchdown! More like kissed.. Not completely, but there's a few leaves that grew over the net along with a top or two. Still touchdown. Ice bottle was replaced this morning. I also topped her off about 3/4 gallon. It brought the roots down a bit so they're fully under water. Just below the net pot. I know it should be 1" to 2" inches between the water and the net cup, but the roots are also important. Not to mention how fast she's taking the water down. She'll need another half gallon tomorrow morning. Maybe more. When I changed the ice bottles out, the roots blocked the bottom of the bucket, so I had to put my ice bottle in the one spot. With roots under it. I might be able to move them. With a paint stick. Lucky I have 3 air stones in the bucket. The only place it's not bubbling is by the access panel. The rest is a bubbly haven for dirty roots. The only thing is, the roots are officially too big for the bucket. Again. Sweeet. Now I just need a bigger bucket. Lol. A quick look at the leaves. They look fantastic. Beautiful rich green. Spreading out the wrinkles to make her big and strong. I had to pull some off as I went looking around at the plant. So far, I don't have any dead or dying leaves. So that's good. Oh and she SMELLS.iem wow. She smells. Good aroma. Powerful too. And we haven't even hit flower yet. Oh no. Not sure how I'm gonna keep the smell locked in while I'm working on the plant. Lol. No bueno indeed. Readings: pH: 6.3 EC: 2.93 TDS: 2.08 Temp: 65.1° Update: So I took a decent amount of lowers off today. All the bud sites that will be larf. Still needs to be cleared out. I also took a few leaves off. Everything that was pointing inward. I still have more to go, but I'm gonna wait for next week to pull the rest off. 08/19/2926 I added a time lapse video today. It's a month long instead of the weekly I was considering. You know, for more "meat" as it were.

From this week, I started giving plant growth fertilizer with a low concentration. But I will do this only once this week. The plants have almost three leaves and are growing without any problems. On the 14th day, I did topping and FIMing the plant (Barney's and Anesia). I will also give you a video on how to do this technique

She shot up this week!!!!! Grew 15cm/6"! Day 42 - I took off about 6 huge fan leaves to give lower levels of the plant some more light. This is her last week on 20/4 lighting. 12/12 from now on.
