hi all. Here we are finally here with some of the ladies out and hanging to dry. It had been a fun week with trimming and hanging the Girl Scout cookie ladies. They finished so perfectly with a beautiful colour and terpenes oozing off them. Everytime I go up to the room , their sweet smell hits me before I get to see the other ladies. With about 6 days for #2 and 4 for #1 , I expect a few more days before they are even close to jar ready for a cure. Thankfully as they are organic and not needing to deal with leftover sodium based nutes, the terpenes should remain fairly intact with the very low 8°c and plenty of airflow keeping them rotating slowly. Rh is around 50% but not a mould risk thanks to the draughty eaves. The remaining Amnesia Haze ladies are like wound springs now. They are still 2 weeks from their supposed harvest time but look ready now. If I didn't know that there is a second flush about to pop them wide open and swell them even more , it would be easy to pull them before their true ending . Still very smokable at this stage now but i am confident that they will have a second flush of fresh pistils any day now. There are signs of it starting on a couple of the mains so i will be using the Dragon force to support this for about 7 days , which is designed to boost them at their finishing stages. I rate this product and use it every grow. Well worth a look. The natural fading and the temperature drops at lights off are creating some amazing colours throughout the canopy now too. Thankfully experience allows me to enjoy this kaleidoscope of autumnal colours and not panic that I have a major deficiency going down. There are some nicely cannabalising leaves in the canopy too which is also a good sign that they are performing just as nature intended and gorging on the stored goodness from the big fans left on. They are a multi purpose leaf for the whole process from veg to finish , they change their role as the grow progresses and as soon as she notices that they are taking more to keep alive and become a sink instead of a gain , she will cannabalising the stores built up and shed the leaf herself. This is why I get stuck with the whole defoliation debate. With that said , I hope your weeks has been as much fun as mine and that you will be joining me in the upcoming tester strain runs of Fast Buds new 2022 unreleased strains to see what's in the pipeline for the autoflower world. Be lucky folks.

The screen is almost full :D, Today is the first 12/12 day, everythings seems to be OK, some leafs are yellow on the edge, but i guess it was because pH was fluctuating a lot. New leaf are ok, so i am not worry about that. See you next week for update ;) Edit : i add some temperature screenshot, we can notice when i change the water ^^^today for with new nutrient and yesterday to clean root and tank with FloraKleen ( 20ml for 10L ) Edit : 8/11 cut many leafs to expose buds to light

Unfortunately I had to take the photos a little earlier this week as I'm traveling. I think the biggest stretch is finished. In the meantime, the little one exudes a pleasant fruity smell. Day 56 Photoshooting Defoliation

Super pumped to try it out, reminds me of when I was a teenager. 🌱😎💨

I provided you with a close up video of each plant and one video where i go through tent and try to focus some nice buds individually.. Dont have anything important to share here but that i started flushing 5 days ago with a mild solution of 400 ppm - terpinator and mammoth. She has very nice hash smell, she will produce a very nice smoke and hash as i ordered those bubblebags.. All girls are coated with resin and so damn sticky, her branches started to fall down so i had to tie them to hold each other. Waiting for them trichomes to turn amber as i want her true indica experience.

Hallo Freunde 👋 die Mädels sind 63 Tage Alt und Gehen in Woche 10! Die große Banana ist ein Monster! Papaya machen sich auch so langsam. Habe zu spät geschnitten und triebe entfernt , wird beim nächsten anders man lernt nur dazu! Sonst keine Probleme. Wieder eine wahnsinnige Reise! Die große Dame bekommt jetzt nur noch Wasser und Denke das sie nächste Woche so weit ist ! Keep Green and grow High ✌️🍀💚🍀

I now see how fast these plants can grow when giving good conditions to grow in, and unlimited water and nutrients.

Week 9: Flower - The First Harvest & Final Countdown! ✂️🌿 THE BIG CHOP IS DONE! Gorilla Z #1 has been harvested, and we're officially in the drying phase. Meanwhile, the remaining ladies are marching toward their own finish lines. Gorilla Z #1 - HARVESTED! 🎉 She's down! After weeks of growth, recovery from overwatering, and pushing through to the end, this girl finally got the chop. Trichome Check: Mostly cloudy/milky (peak THC production ✓) A few amber trichomes starting to show Minimal clear trichomes Harvest Timing: Honestly? I was in a rush—ran out of flower to smoke! 😅 But the trichomes were in a good window, so it worked out. Sometimes necessity makes the decision for you. Could've waited for more amber for a heavier effect, but she was ready enough. What's Next: Drying phase begins now Aiming for slow dry (60°F, 60% humidity if possible) Then comes the cure—patience will be tested again! The Relief: Finally got some homegrown coming down the pipeline. The timing couldn't be better! Gorilla Z #2 - End of Month Finish She's still chugging along in mid-to-late flower. Based on her current progression, she should be ready by the end of the month. Current Status: Buds filling out nicely Still getting full-strength bloom nutrients Recovery from overwatering is complete—she's back to full health Feeding Schedule: Full strength General Hydroponics Bloom Trio Cal-Mag Liquid Kool Bloom She'll stay on this program for another week or two, then transition to water-only flush before harvest. Heisenberg - Two Weeks Out & Starting the Flush! 💧 She's in the final stretch! About 2 weeks away from harvest, which means it's time to transition to the flush. The Flush Begins TODAY: Water only from here on out No more nutrients Flushing helps the plant use up stored nutrients in the leaves and buds Results in smoother smoke and cleaner taste Why flush? Removes excess salts and nutrients from the medium Forces plant to metabolize stored nutrients Improves final product quality (smoothness, taste, ash color) The leaves will fade and yellow—this is GOOD and expected during flush Current Status: Buds are dense and frosty Loving the Spider Farmer tent environment Healthy and vigorous despite approaching finish Key Observations & Real Talk Harvest #1 in the books! There's something incredibly satisfying about chopping your first plant of the cycle. All the work, the stress, the learning—it all comes together in that moment with scissors in hand. The staggered timeline is actually perfect: Gorilla Z #1: Harvested (drying now) Heisenberg: 2 weeks out (flush started) Gorilla Z #2: End of month (~3 weeks out) This spread means I won't be overwhelmed with trimming and drying all at once. Plus, continuous harvests = continuous supply! Running out of smoke as motivation: Look, we've all been there. Sometimes the best harvest window is "I'm out and I need flower NOW." 😂 The trichomes were good enough, and that's what matters. The Home Stretch Strategy For Heisenberg (flush phase): Plain water only, pH'd to 6.5 Monitor trichomes closely Watch for fade (yellowing leaves = plant eating itself = good!) Start thinking about chop day in 10-14 days For Gorilla Z #2: Continue full bloom nutrients for 1-2 more weeks Then begin her flush Harvest late February For Gorilla Z #1 (drying): Hang dry in dark, controlled environment Check daily—don't rush it! Stems should snap, not bend, when ready for cure Then into jars for the cure (the hardest wait of all) Next Week's Plan Monitor Gorilla Z #1 drying progress (resist the urge to sample too early!) Continue water-only flush on Heisenberg Keep feeding Gorilla Z #2 full strength Daily trichome checks on Heisenberg as harvest approaches Prep trimming station and cure jars for upcoming harvests Start planning the NEXT grow! 🌱 We're in the final stretch! One down, two to go. The finish line is in sight, and the reward is almost here. 🏁🔥 First harvest complete. Drying tent smells AMAZING. The wait for cure is going to be brutal but worth it! 💚✂️

This week we are seeing the girls starting to flower, mixed in a gaia green topdress and chopped it up into the sand, then adding another layer. The sand really does a number on the fungas gnats. Going to do some lollipopping and lots of defolation. Trying to pick and chose which colas to bring to the end. I cant wait to see what this looks like when its filled with bud. After I train tonight its going to be hands off completely besides watering.

The preflower stretch has been incomparable to any Soil grow I've seen! These sativas already caught up and don't show any signs of slowing down.

Week 2 had a few challenges. The seedlings were getting little leggy so I got them outdoors in the breeze to strengthen the stem. The wind caused one to snap but it didnt fully break so it is in scotch tape traction right now 🤣. It is still hanging tough after day two fingers crossed. I am preparing the pots for the seedlings to be transplanted into this weekend. I plan to use FishSh!t to easy the stress of transplanting. I am using the leds on overcast days to supplement till they get bigger. Happy growing and any suggestions are welcome just be sweet. 😘 -Kate

March 17, Day 76: As written I collected the last three plants. At the moment I got a partial of 224 grams from the first three plants and I think of doubling with the last three. Among the latter is the plant with the largest bud which obviously becomes my favorite. This time I managed to take photographs of the plants before cutting them. With these last three plants I got the most productive plant, the one with the largest bud and the one with the longest bud 😉 For a final report on this strain: The Gorilla by RQS is an excellent strain for anyone who loves a high THC content and I particularly recommend it to growers who pass for the first time from photoiperiods to autoflowering. You will grow very large and very productive plants very similar to photoperiodic ones. This strain branches out a lot and must be defoliated and de-branched. You can grow it well with the SCROG technique, but if like me you have no space problems you can also use the Sea Of Green technique. In conclusion I want to thank all the growers who have followed this my first diary to which I have a happy growth! A big thanks also to GrowDiaries and to the whole team for having created the best social network dedicated to the world of growers 👏💪😉 March 24 Final Report: Hi growers, with this last post I'm going to close my first diary. First I have to say that I am very satisfied with the total harvest, from the last three plants I got 369 grams which added to the 224 of the previous harvest make a total of 593 grams. I started this diary with 8 Gorillas and 2 Cheese. 6 Gorillas completed their cycle in the same time frame, the 2 remaining gorillas showed a photoperiodic genetic predominance, one of them is in an advanced flowering phase while the last one after three months still shows only a few pistils. I'll probably kill her, and move on by putting new seeds in the soil. Unfortunately, where I live is illegal to grow marijuana, otherwise I would have simply moved outdoors, but I can't and must be ruthless. Regarding the two cheeses there is not much left at the end of their cycle and I started to give only water to one of the two plants. Good and happy growth to all! 😜

Its my first time I grew anything. It went very smooth even with a broken ankle. Strain took any and all abuse extremely well. SCROG, LST, Topping all went really well but i didn't have a great shape or structure in the SCROG. just tucked any open space without much planning. getting around the hard to reach places was super rough and neck/back/knee breaking. I struggled to get the proper wind on the leaves, or at least I could have lessened the wind burn. The clip on fans were good but annoying to place, and unreliable at holding their position because of tent negative pressure, their poor design and the space confinements. I left a lot of genetic potential as it was my first grow and I was not smooth. Overall very very happy with the 210+g at harvest, very happy with the flush results, and very happy with the harvest window I chose (2 weeks past guidelines but 1 week away from end of window (week 10 of flower). I tried smoking the wet bud, it was disgusting and pointless. I tried basically every day the worst quality popcorn buds that had yet to dry, they were moving from disgusting to just flat out terrible, to not the worst, to just bad, and then finally after 2 weeks they didnt taste good but were just low quality bush. After week 1 of the cure the bud was neutral. and after 2 weeks of cure the bud was very smooth. Now into a full month of cure the bud tastes smooth and is nice. As far as smell goes, when I harvested it was pure jet fuel. It reeeeeeeaked like cleaning product, really diesel and extremely pungent. It would tickle inside your noise and feel like punch in the face. Now that its cured properly it lost a lot of that almsot burning pungent feel inside the noise and just smells like good weed aka gas.

Semillas regulares Alioli de Dr. Ganjah Simplemente alucinante la calidad a pesar del pesimo cultivador xd

Set 1&2 are out the green house in an outdoor setting but still under light....did some transplanting gonna do the rest in the upcoming week hopefully n maybe take some cuts other than that everything else running smooth Harvest the mother tree at the beginning of the week with would be about 6 weeks....took a few samples n she's hitting to say only dry a few days scent, flavor and effect are on point....still curing her out

She got a haircut and a double dose of 0.10.10. I noticed how weak the stems are as she ripens She probably needs a cal mag unfortunately all she can get now is some Epsom salt. I will consider using a liquid CalMag supplement in future grows.

7/23/25 I'm not sure if this plant is meant to purple but this one is showing inner flower purpling. Plants that do this tend to be very purple all the way through 7/24/25 plant is praying and super happy. I hope autos can't reveg with an increase of light schedule

Sie entwickeln sich sehr prächtig, hat viele Abzweigung bekommen. Ich werde sie schön wachsen lassen. Meine Lemon Mandarin ist getoppt und Main-Lined👇 Sie ist jetzt 50 Tage im Wachstum und hat den Stress sehr gut verkraftet. Sehr stabile und robuste Genetik💪 von FastBuds, @42breeding Danke dafür 🤗 http:2fast4buds.com/de Jetzt bilden sich viele Seitentriebe 🌱 und die Pflanze wächst nicht mehr stark in die Höhe, sondern geht mehr in die Breite🌿 Das Licht kommt von einer @greenception.worldwide Und einer @marshydro.official Als Medium habe ich Living Soil am Start 🐛

~ 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!💚😎🙏
