Frosty‘s Auto Freak

GreenHobbit Week 0 – The Start of a New Adventure 🌱 While my Laughing Buddha starts its flowering in the 120 × 120 tent, the next project is already kicking off in the heating cellar. This time, I want to document three extraordinary autoflowering genetics independently. Each plant will have its own diary, allowing for individual tracking of its development week by week. The finale will be Frosty’s Auto Freak from Khalifa Genetics. Why this strain? From the first glance, it was clear: This plant is anything but ordinary. The extraordinary Freakshow leaf shape immediately fascinated me and was the main reason I wanted to grow this strain. I'm curious to see when the first typical Freak leaves will show and how this special genetics will develop throughout the grow. It should grow as naturally as possible and unfold its own unique character. The Setup The three autos are growing together in a 70 × 70 cm tent in the heating cellar. For the seedling phase, I'm using a Secret Jardin 26 W. With the help of a PPFD sensor, I measured the lamp precisely for the first time and set it to a distance of 25 cm. This gives the seedlings around 160 µmol/m²/s – ideal conditions for a compact start. Currently, the plant is growing in a 0.5-liter pot. After the first few days, it will move into a 15-liter fabric pot. Germination Frosty’s Auto Freak surprised me right away. In the glass of water, it was the first to show its taproot. However, it took a bit longer to break through the soil surface and was ultimately the last of the three plants to see the light of day. This already shows that each genetics has its own rhythm. Current Status The seed leaves have opened, and already there is a slight purple coloration – an exciting first detail of this extraordinary genetics. I’m very curious to see when the first typical Freakshow leaves will develop and how visually different this plant will be from the two ACE strains. Until next week! 🍀
