Fruity Durban is een Sativa-dominante kruising (waarschijnlijk Durban Poison-achtig met fruitige twist), dus rek/stretch is significant. Pure Durban kan 2-3 m hoog worden buiten, indoors met korte veg vaak 1-2 m zonder training. Met jouw 180 cm tent (incl. lamp + hangruimte) is dat krap — je moet trainen om alles erin te houden. Kweekopstelling update Tent hoogte: 180 cm (typisch ~30-40 cm voor lamp + reflector + ophanging, dus effectieve plantruimte ~140-150 cm max). Lamp: Mars Hydro TS600 (100W echt, prima voor 60x60 in bloom, maar dimbaar gebruiken in veg/zaailing). Medium: gewone potgrond (aangenomen light-mix of universele potgrond zonder veel voeding; pas op overvoeding). Potten: start 0.2L → doorschalen naar 7-11L (of max 15L als je ze klein houdt). Verwacht: stretch ×2-2.5x na flip, dus training essentieel. Week-voor-week verwacht verloop (aangepast aan 180 cm limiet) Week 1 – Zaailing (nu gestart, ~23 maart 2026) Alle 5 gekiemd en staan strak (Serious Seeds kiemt top). Hoogte: 5-10 cm eind week. Lamp dimmen (30-50%), 50-60 cm afstand, 18/6 licht. RV 65-75%, temp 24-27°C. Alleen water/spray, geen voeding nog. Week 2-3 – Veg vroege fase Groei accelereert: Sativa-stijl, lange internodiën. Hoogte eind week 3: 20-40 cm als je niet toppt. Doorschalen: rond dag 10-14 naar 3-5L potten, later (week 4) naar 7-11L finale potten. Beginnen met lichte voeding (EC 0.6-0.9, grow-formule). Tip nu al: LST starten (takken buigen) of top/fim rond 4-5e node (dag 18-25) om breedte te forceren i.p.v. hoogte. Week 4 – Late veg / pre-flip Hoogte zonder training: makkelijk 50-80 cm. Cruciaal: trainen! SCROG-netje op ~40-50 cm hoogte, of meerdere LST-ties + topping 1-2x. Doel: canopy plat en gelijkmatig onder de lamp houden. Zonder training ga je tegen de 180 cm aan botsen in stretch. Lamp 70-80% power, 35-45 cm afstand. Week 5 – Flip naar 12/12 Eerste pistils binnen 4-7 dagen. Stretch start: ×2 tot ×2.5 (typisch voor Durban-achtigen). Getrainde planten: van 40-60 cm veg → 80-140 cm eind stretch. Ongetraind: 100-180+ cm → problemen (lamp verbranden of top afknippen). Lamp 100%, 25-35 cm boven canopy (verhoog tent als kan, of hang lager maar pas op hitte). Week 6-9 – Bloei stretch & budontwikkeling Stretch klaar rond week 3 bloei (dag 50-60 totaal). Toppen worden harsig, fruitig (citrus/anijs/zoet). Geur week 7-8 sterk → filter verplicht. Voeding: bloom EC 1.0-1.6, PK boost vanaf week 6. Potgrond houdt vocht lang vast → niet overwateren (laat droger tussen gietbeurten). Hoogte eind stretch: met goede training 100-140 cm (past net in 180 cm tent met ~30-40 cm lamp-ruimte). Week 10-12 – Rijping & finish Bloei-tijd: ~9-10 weken (Durban-lijn vaak 8-10 wk). Trichomen: cloudy met 10-30% amber rond dag 63-77. Flush laatste 10-14 dagen. Bladeren vergelen natuurlijk. Eindhoogte met training: 110-150 cm (veilig onder lamp). Oogst verwacht (medio/eind mei 2026) Opbrengst: met TS600 in 60x60 → realistisch 80-150 gram droog totaal (0.8-1.5 g/W). Goede training + gelijkmatige canopy → dichter bij 120-150 g. Slechte spreiding → 80-100 g. Kwaliteit: sticky hars, up/high energiek, fruitig-Durban profiel. Belangrijke tips voor 180 cm tent Training is niet optioneel: LST + topping of SCROG-netje vanaf veg. Houd canopy op max 100-120 cm hoogte. Potgrond: droogt langzaam → giet spaarzaam, check gewicht pot. Ventilatie: TS600 geeft weinig hitte, maar trek sterke fan voor luchtcirculatie (Sativa's haten stilstaande lucht). Als je merkt dat ze te hard rekken: supercropping toepassen of lamp hoger hangen (maar PAR daalt dan).

Introducing some carbs this week (Bud candy & molasses) 🍬 some additional mycorrhizae (great white) with the Liquid Karma every water 🍵 will end the week with a final defoliation 🍅

Vamos familia actualizamos la cosecha de las gelato Olandese de Dutchfem . La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 40% humedad y 24 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. Por lo demás de miedo os la recomiendo. Gracias a DutchFem, Agrobeta y Mars hydro , sin ellos este proyecto no sería igual 🙏.

Went from 450w to 150w blue for a week due to heat and too much height gain. Weather got cold so I put the 450w red back in as they seem to be thickening up. Feminising was very easy on the ones I chose, I chose only three that had thicker faster flowering and more THC but will cross with the more sativa dominant ones.

Day 51 20/08/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. With Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. Noticing the stretch stop, and now packing out there bud sites 💪💚 Strong structure, Xmas tree 🎄 shape. All natural growth no training. Day 54 23/08/24 Friday Watering only today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, I'm watering in 350ml no run off. 400ml I'm seeing tiny run off. Day 56 25/08/24 Sunday Water today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Added bud candy and rhino skin 1ml per litre.

So, I have fought PH and phosphorus deficiencies. Starting to come back around. She is budding and getting happier every day. Lowered my water ph to 5.8 and it has been doing the trick. Upped the bloom mutes lowered the veg mutes. Only giving grow because of such little dirt. Feeding every other day now and watching for it to get too hot. Flushing weekly for salt build up. Hopefully next week we see some better results. She is perking up every day.

Well the leafs are turning yellow allot and quickly. But so far the buds are still nice and green. Buds are getting nice and frosty too. buds are getting denser so thats good too. So far so good. 2 weeks left still as you can see not all the pistilles are red yet. 🙏🙏

Last week 🤞 Water only 💦

First upload on my grow diary about this little auto. I’ve started this experience twenty day after first seeds popped of another regular in the same box, now i know that’s wrong but... now 🤣 so other error was trasplant late and other not correct situations that i will explane in next updates about early life of it, this is the result at 7/9 weeks of life , a little frosty girl

FBA 2025 turned Frostbanger was a fun grow in many ways. First, my friend gifted me the seed and I grew outside while she grew inside. It was fun to watch the plants grow in different settings and different growing methods. If you have been following me, then you know our weather has been crazy here. We have had lows of 50* and highs of 90*. We had a hail storm and lots and lots of rain. Today, I was. forced to take my Frostbanger down. I found a couple of buds rotting and it is supposed to rain for the next 4 days, so this grow has come to an end. But first, true to Frostbanger's description, "Just keep in mind, this strain’s dank, pungent odor is super strong—meaning a carbon filter is a must to mask the aroma in any grow room and she’ll make her presence known when grown outside" and boy did my backyard smell. Also, just like its name, it is a "trichome-studded beauty." Sticky, sticky, sticky. It also had a nice fruity smell, almost like a cantaloup. I like to wet trim, so I spent the past 2 days trimming. My wet bud weight is 102.19 ounces. Not A big harvest. Had to throw away some bud rot and I had to take this plant down early --But that is how a hail storm, cold weather, hot weather, Rain and more rain will effect a harvest. I'm happy to be somewhat successful. FYI: today's weather: It has rained 2.05 inches in the past 24 hours and expecting 1.6 inches in the next 24 hours.. I am pretty proud of Frostbanger's cola as it is 10 inches long and approximately 9 inches around. Wish I could have seen it with 2 more weeks of growth. I may not have the growing experience of others, but I am super happy with this grow and glad I could enter a contest. It was fun!

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.

Week 7 started nice and easy. Added a new pump to my catch basin for water extraction. Plants are still stretching and flowers are stacking. I’m going to have to rearrange the tent a little to give these girls some space. The smell is pure lemons I can’t wait! I also realized I have 5 fans in my tent to control temp and humidity…hahaha

🗓️ WEEK 5 / DAYS 29-35 (flo) 💧 There were no changes to the nutrient solution this week, maintaining EC 2.0 - pH 6. My main action has been topping up the reservoir with 5 LT of this solution every two days. 🌱 The stretching phase concluded this week, with the plant reaching her final height: 69 cm. She is now focusing on filling out her flowers, and her foliage is taking on a noticeably darker hue, typical for the later stages of flowering. At this point, there's less active work to do; the focus shifts to maintaining stable environmental parameters and ensuring the pH remains in the correct range to avoid stressing the plant.

Everything seems to be going great for them to all be random bag seeds! Temp is staying a little higher than I would like trying to figure out some ways to cool it down may just order some new lights!

87 days from 🌱 and frosty as heck. Wet trimmed and hanging to dry now. Just starting to to notice a little more smell but definitely not loud yet. 60 grams into jars. Taste earthy, piney, berries and citrus. Overall a great growing experience and I'm glad I have more of these beans!

Привет садоводы !!! началась новая неделя прошло несколько дней после инцендента с PH и вроде растение немного отошло от стресса и вышло из анабиоза и расправилось выглядит не так печально как несколько дней назад цветок .что в земле я полил сегодня с удобрениями и добавил активатор цветения собираюсь на днях перевести их на цветение

First auto run! Fastbuds , Seedsman & Victory seeds! Never done autos before so excited to see how this goes! Day 5 and 2 of the NHL’s from Victory seeds still hasn’t popped😫😬

Ladies have taken off! Finished week 2 with no issues in sight. I’ve been working my yoga poses to get under the scrog to clean and spray some essential oils for pest management. Also added some sticky traps, haven’t seen anything, not even a gnat, but can’t be too careful this time of year. I’ve been pushing her nutrients and got close to 1100 ppm, some slight burn at the tips was noticeable, but nothing else. Did some defoliation and the smells are strong! Perfect terp profile that I’m looking for, Gas, funk and skunk 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨 Happy Growing!

The girls are starting to wrap up their cycle. I have been watching the trichomes closely, and we are getting very close..Trying to pick the best day for both of the strains I have going at the moment, the Apple Betty are a little closer than the cookies, but they are very similar in readiness… I’ll be checking daily, I did get a wireless microscope for Christmas so it has become much easier to tell👨‍🔬 I’ve got mostly cloudy, with a few clear, but I am waiting for a bit more amber to give them the couch lock that I like when I smoke. Boxing Day was the end of week 8, so any day now! Happy Holidays Growmie’s! ❤️🇨🇦😎🎉
