Frostette = Grape Cream Cake x Okie (wedding cake x thin mint cookies).
Soaked 6 seeds in bottled spring water in a shot glass on a 80 degree surface.
After 16 hours, I folded 2 paper towels into triangles and sprayed with bottled spring water and placed seeds inside. Put paper towels/seeds on a Tupperware lid and placed on warm surface.
Excited for this grow, got a killer deal on a used HLG Scorpion RSpec so it will be going in the tent between the 2 Vivosun VS4000.
05/22
Less then 12 hours in paper towel and all are cracked and showing tap root.
05/23
All seed had 3/4"-1" tap roots this morning.
Filled clear solo cups with Happy Frog and planted seeds.
I used clear cups so I can check on root development, I placed them inside red solo cups to keep the soil/roots dark.
05/24
4 of 6 broke surface, 2 showing cotyledons

All have broke service, only 1 still has seed on it.

All are coming along nice
Temp is sitting at 77-79 with 60% humidity
I always water with a spray bottle by misting the surface of the soil. This grow I decided to do less sprays more often rather then more sprays less often.
They have been getting consistently 18 sprays in the morning, 9 in the late afternoon and 9 late evening. Soil seems to be staying at a consistent moisture level doing this.

I usually don't consider the start of Veg until I transplant into final pots but being there's no seedling stage to select on here, I started Veg this week.
Made a little stand to raise plant 4.5" closer to the light. Light in "seedling chamber" is not Dimmable.
I usually water by spraying the soil until I transplant but soil was getting dry quick so I watered normally. I will go back to spray bottle unless it starts drying out quicker consistently.
Using no nutrients right now, just tap water filtered through a Zero Water Filter.

Starting to grow a little quicker now, might have to raise the little stand I made so the plants are closer to the light to stop them from stretching.

Seem to keep stretching still.
I have 2 foam cylinders from packing material from a package so I used them to raise the plant another 4", they've now been raised a total of 8.5 inches this week.
Posted updated pictures, including 1 of the plants roots.

Just received a new gadget today, AC Infinity VPD Handheld Thermometer today.
It's really neat I think, packed with features for only !
Posted some pics of it.

Start of Week
Coming along nice.
No longer misting the soil, watering by hand every other day.
Will probably transplant at start of Week 3
06/13
Getting bigger everyday!
Posted updated pics.
06/16
Start of Week
Transplanted from Solo Cups to final 3 Gallon containers from The Bucket Company.
Used 2 Parts of Fox Farm Ocean Forest to 1 Part Happy Frog.
Added 2.5 cups of Perlite to each pot, soil already has some in it but thought more couldn't hurt.
Watering with Zero Water and only adding Silica Blast right now.
With the addition of the HLG Scorpion RSpec, I was able to space out my pots more to allow each plant more room to grow!
I also cut 5" off the legs to the pots to give the plants a little extra height to grow.
Both Vivosun VS4000 lights are dimmed to 4 of 10 putting out currently 380 ppfd, HLG Scorpion RSpec is dimmed to match the 380 ppfd.
06/20
I noticed bottom leaves were starting to yellow so I started watering with Botanicare lines of nutrients and supplements. I used 1
5 ml of each nutrient and supplement, I made sure to mix Silica Blast first followed by CalMag and then the rest in no particular order.
I noticed a few plants leaves were praying, I lowered light intensity on the 2 Vivosun VS4000 lights from 4 of 10 to 3 of 10 giving me a ppfd of 325. I lowered the HLG Scorpion RSpec intensity to match the 325 ppfd.

Topped and Fed
Split pics show before and after topping
Last week I seen praying leaves and bottom leaves turning yellow, reducing light intensity and starting nutrient and supplement schedule seemed to of been exactly what the plants needed!
Idk why it's not doing the math correctly for the nutrient chart, it clearly adds up to 30 ml/gal but displays 22.71 ml/gal.

Topped 1 week ago today. The side branches have really shot up since then.
Looks like I'll get plenty of opportunity to SCROG and LST.
Last grow in this tent was the first SCROG I've done. I did not like how the net I purchased bowed in at the sides.
I purchased some 1/2" pvc pipe and fittings, I made a frame and zip tied the net to it so I can use all of the tent for plant training.

Noticed top leaf tips were starting to burn a little, raising light from 24" to 30" fixed the issue.
Have it dialed in to take water every other day.
Increased Pure Blend Pro Grow from 5 ml/gal to 10 ml/gal
Increased Liquid Karma from 5 ml/gal to 8 ml/gal
All plants have grown in net, I've began tucking every top that's grown high enough.
Seem to be growing quick, side branches are catching up quickly.
Idk why it's not doing the math correctly for the nutrient chart, it clearly adds up to 38 ml/gal but displays 34.0 ml/gal.

Pretty much all the side chutes have made it to the top.
I just tucked some more through the net today. I'll wait until they turn through the net again and are standing, then will probably flip to flower.

Lights dimmed to 325 ppfd
Flipped to Flower
Stopped using Pure Blend Pro Grow and reduced Liquid Karma from 8 ml/gal to 5 ml/gal.

I feel like I always veg 1-2 weeks longer then I should.
Now let's see how much they stretch lol.

Definitely should of flipped sooner, tent is full lol
Probably remove a few leaves next week to help with airflow and light penetration.

The Frostette is coming along nicely! Ik it's only been a week since defoliation but I'm glad the foliage hasn't grow back twice as thick like in my RB x Okie grow.
Increased Hydroplex from 3 ml/gal to 4 ml/gal.

Stopped using Silica.
Very top heavy, had to support quite a few branches.
Buds are coming in nicely, couple different phenos.

Still lowering light intensity each week.
Lowered strength of Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil and Liquid Karma.
Should be done in about 5-10 days, this strain usually flowers around 65-75 days.
