❄️‼️F4

DE_BW The start went smoothly without any issues. She spent the first 24 hours in a glass of water before going into a coco plug and sprouted after around 48 hours. The plug was then placed directly into the final 15L pot. Growth has been healthy and compact so far, with strong early development and tight internodal spacing. The only noticeable issue is the high summer temperature, which is already showing slightly on the leaves. Nothing critical yet, but she is definitely feeling the heat. For now, the goal is simply to keep conditions stable and avoid unnecessary stress during the early vegetative stage.

DE_BW Frostbanger F4 is showing exceptional vigor for week 2, with rapid growth and strong node development across the entire plant. Today, I topped her above the 4th node to encourage a wider structure and increase the number of main growth tips. Starting with the next watering, I will begin introducing nutrients to support the upcoming vegetative growth phase. 🌱

DE_BW Frostbanger F4 is looking extremely promising structurally, with a wide and even canopy developing across the entire plant. She has responded exceptionally well to both topping and LST, showing no signs of slowing down and producing vigorous new growth at every training point. From here, only minor adjustments will be needed to maintain the shape until she transitions into flower. 🌱💪

DE_BW This week I performed a fairly heavy defoliation, which opened up the canopy and encouraged strong branching throughout the plant. The response has been excellent, with vigorous new growth and a very even canopy developing across all main tops thanks to the ongoing LST. The structure looks extremely promising, and it appears this will be the final week of vegetative growth before Frostbanger transitions fully into flower next week.

DE_BW Flowering and the stretch phase have officially begun, and the canopy remains very even thanks to the earlier training. The first buds are forming nicely, and the plant looks vigorous overall. There is still some minor pest damage on a few fan leaves, but it remains healthy and is developing exactly as expected.

DE_BW The stretch appears to be almost finished, and the plant is now around 55 cm tall with an impressive number of bud sites across the canopy. Unfortunately, there are still a few minor feeding marks, as the predatory mites don’t seem to have fully taken control yet. Overall, the plant looks very healthy, vigorous, and highly promising for the weeks ahead.

DE_BW Flowering Week 3 The stretch is officially over, and the plant has settled at around 55 cm. Buds are stacking nicely, with an impressive number of bud sites and an exceptional amount of frost for such an early stage of flowering. Minor pest damage is still present, but overall the plant remains extremely healthy and vigorous—now it’s simply a matter of feeding consistently and letting her do the rest.

DE_BW The Frostbanger is progressing well and has become extremely frosty over the past week. Buds are stacking nicely and continue to develop in a healthy and uniform way. Unfortunately, the pest issue is still present, although the plant remains vigorous despite the damage. If everything continues as expected, I estimate around two weeks remaining until harvest.

DE_BW The plant has developed beautifully over the past week. The buds are now stacking very well, with excellent density and an extremely frosty appearance. Overall, the flowers look healthy, mature and very resinous. She received Overdrive earlier this week and will be flushed today. Since a major heatwave is expected next week, my plan is to harvest her beforehand rather than expose the dense, nearly finished buds to another prolonged period of extreme temperatures.
