Leaves started to go a little light green this last week so changed the water and added some Nitrozyme aswell as a slight mist direct to the leaves. Also had to lower the PH to 5.8 as it had crept up quite substantially at around 8.5. Other than that...Nice, healthy, bushy plants. Still a clear difference in size between the hydro and the Allmix. The netting needs changing as just can't get it taught so any recommendations appreciated. Itching to see the end result! Update 28th Feb: I think im getting a little nutrient burn on some of the leaves. Nutes have been added as per supplier directions Either that or it could be due to me spraying a little diluted Nitrozyme mix directly on the leaves a couple of days ago while the veg lights were running.

Another beautiful black cherry punch pheno but this one is one of the 2 which are completely purple, beautiful sweet aromas, I'm just in love with this strain man 🍒💎💚👨‍🌾🌱✌️

08/11: La troisième semaine de floraison commence enfin on devrait les fleurs prendre forme. J'espère que le stretch est fini car elle est assez grande et doit laisser un peu de place au autres. 08/12: la troisième semaine débute sur une note un peu amer. Certaines feuilles se détériore à une vitesse folle, ainsi que des tâches brune. Premier réflexe GHE essential et cal-mag agent de Canna ce matin. Espérons que les prochains jours seront plus cool et que cela vas arranger mon problème. 08/13: après avoir fait plus de recherche je suis enfin tombé sur un article sur le blog de pevgrow et mon problème correspond en tout point à une carence en magnésium. Je devrais voir voir des améliorations dans les 4 à 7 jours. Et bien-sûr continuer à donner du calmag. Le problème viendrai du fait que je tourne en 24/7 avec les auto's enfin c'est ce que je pense après avoir croisé les conseils et avis des "growers" de GD et certains articles. 08/14: c'est dernier jours ont été intense pour moi, lors de mon premier diaries j'avais déjà eu le même problèmes avec une purplequeen auto à l'époque je n'avais pas de calmag... enfin tous ça pour dire merci à la communauté growdiaries.com qui m'a conseillé et supporter. Maintenant cela c'est stabilisé et n'atteint aucune autre feuilles, les nouvelles feuilles sont belles et viguoireuses. Me voilà rassurer et surtout j'ai encore appris de nouvelles chose sur la cannabiculture 😎😨🤓 08/15: elle a créée une belle masse de feuilles entre temps, je vais appliquer une grosse defoliation après le prochain engraissâge histoire d'être que les carences ne sont plus d'actualités. À part cela je me contente de couper deux feuilles par jours. #46 08/16: tout est rentré dans l'ordre ouF :D - la production de trichromes à bien commencé, une légère odeur typique à la weed qu'elle que soit la variété en début de flo. se dégage de la growbox. je suis enchanté! Maintenant j'epère que le switch d'engrais càd changer "BioBizz bloom/topmax" pour "Canna PK13-14/Boost Accelerator" vas lui plaire à la jolie dame #47 08/17: apres une de nuit de réflexion: arrosage/engraisser (canna calmag (.6ml/L)/BB blom-topMax (1.2ml/L chaqu'un)/ AN BigBud-BudCandy (1ml/L chaqu'un) ce matin. J'essayerai canna pk 13 14 et boost accelerator sur mon prochain plant. #48

So growing this strain was very easy i first topped her and then tied down every branch that came too high and she maintained a really compact form measuring only 40 cm from stalk to top.. Bud to leaf ratio was amazing too it had really few leaves and has been really easy to wet trim.. The wet weight was around 360 grams wet trimmed and the total dry weight after 5 days of drying was around 80 grams wich of this quality its outstanding for just 11 weeks from seed to harvest!! So in general i truly enjoying growing her looking at her wonderful colours in flower and will surely grow again.. Thanks again to everyone passing by and liking my diaries hope you have a great day and wish you all happy growing!!!

Day 7 Veg: A great start for the ladies has been slowed slightly by leaving them a few days too long in their germination pots. I usually plant into the final.pot from seed bit uad to wait this time for space. They took a hit with transplant shock I think and a few deformed leaf sets have resulted. I think this will sort itself once the plants resettle bit with time being precious on autos , I hope its soon. One of the Banana Mash is a real mutant it seems with two odd looking leaves and a tiny bit of new node showing through. The Purple monkey are all doing very well so far and rhe transplant has not hit them so hard. i also think I have a mango cream growing from a seed that popped out of the mango crop I did. lets see. Be safe and free Growmies.

Day 50 - Added another dehumidifier to the closet and now the RH is 53/55% under the canopy and 60/62 above it. Wish it was good enough to prevent mold and pests. The ladies are growing a lot, think we'll have big chunky colas if everything goes well! 🙏😍 Day 52 - Today I defoliated the ladies a little bit to allow more light penetration 💪 Day 56 - End of week 8. The girls are doing good: the PL keep on getting weight and developping bigger flowers, the Gelato is 1 or 2 weeks behind her, she has been in vegetative stage for longer and she's still stretching! Now she is about 20/25cm to the light but she seems to handle it. Light at 85/90%.

Hi all. Hope we are all well amd healthy. This was the last weeks veg period for the FFT crew. The poorly girls are not going to break any records for returns in the grow but thankfully the 2 that are in soil are more than making up for the miniture FFT#8. she is the right colour at least . Her size really is small which is down to the root rot issues that hit the tank hard. FFT#9 is a different game all together and is getting very big. I expect the stretch to help flatten and widen her out to give a nice sized canopy. Inner growth is getting nice and plentiful too so should be a good yielder. FFT#10 is really looking Indica leaning now with the colour of deep green all the way through. Her leaves are nice and broad for those lumens that need to be grabbed too. I would love to know what these strains are and have a few of the FFT i would vertainly purchase and grow. I think most of us testing them have a very positive experience in general Well done Fastbuds. Lets see these ladies with some stretch on next week. I will use this week to get them as lateral and flat as possible and rhen use atretch week 2 to build the bud spikes. Plan is to defoliate at around day 18/19 as they are fast flowering so should be showing some flowers forming by then. Thet are alsondue sone ecothrive charge , bio-sys and life cycle to boost them for their flowering start.

DAY 63 / 9 weeks of flowering. Last pictures. Ready to harvest 😛 Last week the buds have swollen enormously. And with cold nights; temperature between 5° - 10°, the pink colors darkened, rather than turning purple. 👌 All plants are fairly even in ripeness. The buds are hard and sticky. 😍 The fragrance is mainly that of Gelato. The legendary Gorilla genes express themselves rather in the color and appearance. 😻 A beautiful main Indica that is easy to grow, full of trichomes, great pleasant scent, perfect maturation and good yield. Highly recommended ! 👍 Only water till the end. 😨 Plant size and description : #1 96cm Falling in love with this beauty is easy. Beautiful buds. Nice colours. #2 95cm Beautiful plant. Looks a bit like #1, a bit later ripe but thicker buds. #3 100cm Beautiful large plant without side branches. A lust for the eye. Spectacular dark green-purple buds. Perfection. 😍 #4 89cm Another beautiful medium-sized plant. Like # 2 ripe a little slower, but even thicker buds. #5 106cm The largest of all plants. She looks different from the others. She has the most of her parents Gorilla genes. She has slightly longer side branches. Beautiful beautiful light pink color. 😘 #6 78cm Short thick pheno. Gelato style. Beautiful color. Thick round top. #7 69cm Again a thick short pheno. Fantastic colors with a thick slightly more pointed top. #8 96cm Beautiful medium-sized plant. Short side branches with thick main top. Brilliant colors. Very Frosty #9 75cm Small plant with weak, somewhat longer side branches. Semi-thick top. #10 53cm Very small plant. Beautiful big fat bud. Green Gelato type. #11 50cm Very small plant like #10, solid mainbud. Stunning purple-pink colors. #12 85cm Medium sized plant with side branches. Perfect buds. Stiff of trichomes. #13 73cm Super short plant. Enjoy the green color of the leaves, with a tasty purple complexion deep and high in the buds. #14 89cm Medium-sized plant with a lovely thick top, but also with short side branches that are built up with thick buds. #15 85cm Medium sized plant with weak side branches but a nice head bud. #16 99cm Absolute winner. Large plant with thick, fat buds. Super harvest. Top shelf. 😛

All the baby's are in great shape the mbap's are taking to the scrog well loads and loads of bud sites The grape walker kush are getting nice and big I esspesially like the look of the mainlined/folded one structure is nice and open Now the gold glue by topping this seems to have really done it well more open branchy structure much Easyer on training this one is going to be interesting ......... Check out the insta for more @velk_1

Defoliated some leaves to let light in, chopped one down early as I run out of bud 🙄 it's good for less than 4 weeks flowering. Have them rice water starch again this week in with there food. A layer of frost is slowly forming 😎 hopefully they will fatten up nice and frost up really good to 🤞

~ 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: 5/31- Week 4 from seed and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is doing a lot better now that she's going through a growth spurt! The leaf chewing has mostly subsided now since I have been spraying Neem Oil on her every 2-3 days. She's also beginning to increase in height about an inch per day now and has great color and vigor. 6/2- Yesterday I top dressed the Papaya Sherbet with 2 cups of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 1 cup of Down to Earth Bio Fish along with 1/2 gallon of worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments into the soil by hand, I watered it in via garden hose with straight well water. 6/4- It rained hard yesterday, so I skipped watering the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo today as the ground was still pretty wet. 6/6- The last two days have been sunny and warm so I watered the Papaya Sherbet photo with straight well water from the garden hose today. Another week gone by for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and I'm looking forward to next week, as well as the weeks that will follow to see how this lady progresses! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

She is getting to her ripening stage so in it longer feed her any nitrogen just keeping it organic with wood ashes, molasses and Bat Guano…her smell is amazing.

For now they are growing without any problems.

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

Moved two largest plants to flower tent 320W kingbright.

Day 52-64 (Day 54) I’m going to thoroughly inspect each plant and remove bananas if found. So far it’s only been the one on #7 but I don’t want to take a chance. I’m also going to give a watering with some runoff. (Day 55) Can’t find anymore bananas but that one. I will probably find a few bag seeds but who knows. It’s way too late for pollen to really have effect anyway. These 5 plants finish nice and early compared to my other tent flipped on the same day. I would never take this strain 65+ days like last time. I would do 56-60 days next time I flower this strain (Day 58) Holy shit this tent is fading like crazy now. They are starting to show some beautiful autumn colors. #1 #5 and #7 are definitely done. #3 and #6 could use a little more time so I’ve decided to take them down on the 24th. I haven’t seen anymore bananas and the one that popped out on #7 has shriveled up and receded. (Day 63) I’m seeing what look like seed pods starting to form in some of the main colas on my picture perfect pheno. #7 is showing 3 or 4 little bananas too. All of the top buds are definitely done so I’m going to harvest as soon as the lights come on tomorrow. I’m going to give one last watering right now and then harvest. I’ve noticed that harvesting a watered plant will extend the dry time by a few days and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. A nice slow dry. Plants are being full plant hung + dry trimmed and tent is being kept at 60-65 degrees and 60-65% RH. Cutting everything down was a pain in the ass. I had to individually cut each square the scrog net so it wouldn’t contract and squish all the buds. I chopped down my other tent as well so I have no other plants in flower right now.

We took a closely look at our 18 plants, 18 days before the end (harvest) of the 66 days experiment... * Extreme defoliation for maximum lighting. * Low humidity (45-50%). * 24/24 lights all the 7 weeks from seedlings.

Welcome to the fifth week of flowering ... The smell is strong enough. The tops are getting hard and filled with resin, the pistils are getting dark and some violet shades are noticed. Unfortunately for the hydroponic system my water pump broke when it was still in veg and as soon as I inserted the bloom the air pump broke too. I could not replace either of them and therefore the results in hydro are not abundant but the smell is very good. With the help of ga3 I produced some male flowers only on the Cranberry and therefore some seeds on the smaller flowers ... Happy growing to all
