ElCapitol Here we go 😁 Single 42fastbuds Frostbanger Auto from the new trial pack. I'm not overly familiar with autos so I thought I'd try a multi strain auto grow and have a look at what I've been missing. Last time I grew out autos it was Lowryders, the OG back in the day. They were terrible 😂 Prone to rot and no real sophistication to the high.
So, I picked some Barney's Farm and 42fastbuds strains, I had intended on running some Royal Queen but they had no offers on at the time. Maybe next time. It's a multi strain grow but I've segregated them for clarity.
So, germination. I like to keep it simple. Root riot cubes, heated propagator and a chopstick for pushing the seeds down around halfway into the cube I wear gloves at all times and everything is spotlessly clean. Propagation is at around 28c and took 2/3 days. I put 1 down for 1 up, 100% germination rate. My light is currently on 50% and around 2ft away. The propagators lid is misted up so that diffuses the light nicely.

ElCapitol Hardened them off by slowly opening vent in propagator lid over a day or so. Then once that was fully open I leave the lid on but raise it an inch or so off the base to allow more airflow. This helps harden them off slowly and a little breeze hitting them stops them getting too tall too fast. Day 6 after sprouting they go straight into an 11L pot filled with standard garden centre compost. It's probably a little hot for seedlings but they'll get over it.
Once they're in the pot I water a ring around the seedling and leave a gap of around 6 inches in the centre relatively dry. That helps stop damping off disease. They're quite vulnerable to it at this stage.
When watering in I added a very weak Canna Vega solution, just so they've got immediately available nutrients to help put put good roots into the fresh soil. Lights are at 50% power. Added Calmag to next watering, I always get early calcium deficiency in this compost.
All looking good so far. Thanks for reading

ElCapitol Nice little plant, but looks at that new growth 😄 strange yellow edging. Not seen that before, any ideas please let me know. Other than that she looks great. Got a little dry so maybe that's the cause. We'll see in a week's time I guess. Canna Calmag agent added at .5ml per L

ElCapitol Little bit of nute burn on this one :( The compost is quite hot, after reading a little on autos that should be avoided.
Well it's all learning and she's recovering ok. Nice shape and no lasting damages.

ElCapitol After four weeks alone with only light and water due to local forest fires I think she has done very well.
Frost banger is the name and she earns it. Solid nugs all over this plant and huge frosting. Very much a favourite for me. Despite the neglect it has done amazing. Even though I could not defoliate mid flower all the buds are very solid.
Smell is very familiar and reminds me a little of the dessert strains like cake and gelato. Soon ready for harvest I will update you with weights. It looks good 👍
