Frostbanger Test 1

Chef_LA Seedlings grow and thrive

Chef_LA All four plants are growing well, two at 12cm and two at 10cm. Today, they were fertilized for the first time. Each with a different fertilizer.

Chef_LA All the plants are growing well, the two that germinated first are already a bit bigger and bushier. But the smaller ones are developing well too. Unfortunately, there are some fungus gnats, but I applied nemabest SF nematodes. It takes a few days to see results (hopefully). Every 2-3 days, I give them 0.5 liters of water as needed. Each plant gets a different fertilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions. The two latecomers have spots on their leaves, right from the start. Does anyone know what that could be?

Chef_LA The plants are growing beautifully and are healthy. Only a little defoliation was done and some LST was applied. Water as needed, and three plants are getting their nutrients from different manufacturers as usual, according to their instructions. I'm fertilizing one plant with my homemade fertilizer (eggshells, banana peels, coffee grounds, etc. as I see fit). So far, it's growing just as well as the others, or do you notice a difference? They're slowly entering the pre-flowering stage, and I'll defoliate again next week.

Chef_LA The plants have entered the flowering stage. I defoliated a bit and applied LST. I increased the temperature to 26 degrees. I raised the lamp distance to 50 cm to stretch them a bit. So far, they are growing beautifully. They are thirsty, 1 liter every other day. The smallest plant is 40 cm, and the largest is 50 cm.

Chef_LA Everything is great, the buds are growing and the plants are healthy. With the plant for which I make my own nutrients, there was a calcium deficiency, brown spots on the leaves. To intervene quickly, I had to add nutrients and the plant is recovering quite well. I also added lights on the sides.

Chef_LA So far, I'm satisfied, they're slowly getting frosty 😁. I heavily defoliated them today and hope that the energy now flows into the buds. They're pretty thirsty too, almost a liter every day. The plant with the deficiency symptoms has somewhat recovered. Fresh leaves are nice and green again without any brown spots. The pictures of the plants show them before and after defoliation.

Chef_LA Barely any growth now, just the buds are getting a bit bigger. Unfortunately, there’s a strong infestation of fungus gnats again. I will use neem oil, but I think by the time it works, I will have already harvested. About 2.5 weeks, then they should be ready. The plant with the homemade fertilizer had to be treated with commercial fertilizer because it had some deficiency symptoms. Now I know what to pay attention to next time. Yeah, and now just don’t make any mistakes.😉

Chef_LA Wow, beautiful big buds, a lot of frost, and no idea when I should harvest. The buds look good, the trichomes are all milky, hardly any clear ones left. The smell since yesterday is amazing, very strong citrus scent. I've switched the light to 12/12 hours to stress the plant a bit more. Tomorrow I'll water with nutrients again and flush in three days. I would appreciate tips on the right harvest timing. ‐‐---------------- I flushed all the plants yesterday, and they really benefited from it. The buds have actually grown a bit and gotten thicker. The ladies are still magnificent despite their age, nice rich green, and hardly any brown or wilted leaves. At night, I now lower the temperature to 16 degrees. The ladies respond with some beautiful purple leaves. Really great and robust plants!!!

Chef_LA The plants were flushed every three days, otherwise no measures were taken. They smell wonderful like citrus fruits and the buds look gigantic. The harvest is just around the corner.

Chef_LA This week just watered. Increased light to 14 hours. Starting tonight, the light will be off and no more watering will be done. I think we'll harvest in three to four days 😄.

Chef_LA That was the last week for the last Forstbanger. She was only watered and got to bloom for an extra week compared to her three colleagues. It did her good, and today she’s going into the dark room, where she will stay for another three to four days before I harvest her.

Chef_LA Today, plants 2, 3, and 4 were harvested. Plant 1 isn't ready yet. I'll dry them completely for a few days, then I'll separate the buds from the stems and put them back in a box for a few days. After that, into mason jars with Boveda packs.
