ok,ok,ok I know ive been slacking. Today is day 84. And after pondering for a very long time, i decided to chop her. The trichs were almost 100% white with lots of amber scattering around. Id say about 20% amber. She really hasnt gained any size in the past couple days, just more color. As you can see, the color on her is insane. She will be hanging in an herb drier for the next week before i trim her and cure her. She smells like gassy lemon candy. Super terpy. I aim to preserve those terps by taking it nice and slow. Stay tuned! Ill add more pics as time goes on. Idk why the video i uploaded is white-washed. Boooooo!

For this grow I kept my setup a lot simpler than last year. Going with Jack 47 because, well, reviews are awesome and we've had success with Sweet Seeds germinating well. From the pics and videos you can see I've got a simple bucket for the plant with no air stone, pump, or other shit in the plant bucket. All that is in the reservoir. Should make it easier to clean, flush, etc. I'll be able to just pop the lid off (with plant in the net) and put it on a clean bucket with pH balanced water while I clean the rest of the system, then hook it right back up. I also over-designed so I could add a second grow bucket if I want. Don't have space for that at the moment but non-loadbearing walls are easy to move, right? Using General Hydroponics for nutrients and Hydroguard for good measure. Knock wood I'm not jinxing things by posting before I have seedlings.

13th week. If I am not wrong I started 12/12 light schedule with 36 hours darkness before at beggining of the week 7, so it is the 7th week of flowering.... or 6th ?😅 Well buds are getting thicker, and just checked the trichomes now they are more matured but still need I think at least 3 weeks to be done properly. When I see the milky trichomes, I will start flushing. Wednesday: End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm like before. Buds are thicker smelly and a lot of resin. It is totally coated with THC, and sticks my finger together. This is the last day I fertilized the plant, from tomorrow I will start flushing. I will give maximum 2 more weeks to be done. I also removed some more fan leaves (those are getting yellow) so I will make some tea. I really love the citrus taste and the smell of this plant.

Seconda settimana di veg...la runtz che è nata prima dell'altra sta mutando in modo strano. Non avevo mai visto spostarsi il centro apicale..sembra che si è piegata e l'apicale sta crescendo come sé fosse un ramo laterale 😂🤣🤦💪

Salute everyone! We have a liftoff! Since this is my first grow i spent the last month at least in research, tents, lights, strains, nutrition (omg), growing medium, watering, temp, humidity and so on! Total overload. When i got my tent and seeds, it was time to visit my local grow shop, and the nicest of people who happens to be the owner, reassured me that im going to be fine. And thats my plan. Read some diaries here and I’m really looking forward to engage with the community! Today is 01/09 - the day it begins. Seeds are in the soil. 01/09 - morning Implanted the seeds at night and turned the light at 20% power about 50cm away from the surface and turned the vent to around 25% The himidity dropped to 55%. so I’ve decided to turn off the vent for now. Now the humidity is around 65% which i would like to keep thru seedling/veg stage 03/09 - midnight Full 48 hours has passed since the seeds were planted. No signs of life so far. 03/09 - 70 hours after planting the germinated seeds in the soil 2/3 have srouted. The third one didn’t have a root when planted, but was cracked open, so i guess she’s lagging a little. Tomorrow morning will switch the lights to 18/6. 25% of power. 04/09 - 84 hours after planting All three girls are up. Switching light to 18/6 (25% power) Installed a go pro to shoot a time lapse. 05/09 - morning Seems that nothing changed overnight. Compared my plants with a day by day progress reference i found on the web. So i decided to help the plants and remove the shell of the seed. Seems went well. Only plant 1 managed to remove only one half, second half is glued. 05/09 - afternoon After removing the shells i noticed that the cotyledons are glued together by the residue on the seed. Performed a microsurgery (neurosurgeon wanabe) Attached. Finally the plants are free and exposed to the light

Frostbanger Plants 1-6 Week 8 May 18– 24 FLOWER 4 Nutrients : GH Micro 25 ml GH Gro 10 ml GH Bloom 30ml CalMag 30 ml Recharge 10ml Green sensation 16.5ml Power buds 7.5 ml 5/17 PH 6.3, PPM 1130, temp 71 1ltr each 5/18 PH 6.67, PPM 935, temp 68.5 1 ltr each 5/20 PH 6.67, PPM 1330, temp 68.5 2 ltr each 5/21 PH 6.66, PPM 984, temp 69 1 ltr each videos & pics 5/17 Defoliation of yellowing leaves, feed, pics As I mentioned last week, I must monitor and control the tent environment manually. For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. AC Infinity does not extend the warranty to the replacement parts. I guess that makes sense since they would be in a state of perpetual free replacements. I bought a new one from Amazon that came with a new controller which is different from the controller 69 currently using. I decided that while it is very inconvenient and inefficient to monitor the tent through the day, I would rather finish this Frostbanger run without introducing a new unknown variable. I will continue using 3 circulating fans, the 4” exhaust vent from my 3x3. I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This creates a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative. It looks like growth has stopped and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All 6 of them are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. #4, 5 &6 are showing some fade, particularly #4. Upon opening the tent, a melon smell comes off the buds if I get close, and more stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. They are living up to the new strain’s name. #5 is the frostiest followed by #2. Wow week 3 of flower and that much frost already. Before FastBuds announced the strain name and characteristics, I was disappointed that FBA2502 could be an indica sleepy strain but the universe provides what you need at the time. The new strain profile indicates a whopping 29%THC with mainly sativa uplifting, euphoric, social effects with sweet fruity flavors which I love and enjoy. In addition, I recently bought a dap press and this strain is frosty and resinous. She will be great to press for live rosin. FBA2502 is FROSTBANGER. Meet Frostbanger Auto, an autoflowering and Indica-leaning hybrid packing a staggeringly high THC content averaging 29%, making this one of the most potent strains on the market. It was created by Fast Buds through crossbreeding Gorilla Glue and Chemdawg, two equally iconic strains. Growers must know that these difficult-to-grow plants will pose specific challenges in terms of environmental control and nutrition, making them best suited for cultivators with some experience under their belt. The flowering cycle is short, averaging only 50 days, and yields are usually around 300g/m². The Frostbanger Auto flavor and aroma are both mouthwatering with a delightful combination of sweet, fruity, and flowery notes. The high is mainly Sativa-driven with uplifting and happiness-inducing effects that lead to euphoria and a general sense of well-being. You might feel sociable and talkative, but too spacey to say something. Following this surge of energy comes a deepening sense of relaxation, leaving you sedated and completely at ease with the world. Due to its potency and these long-lasting effects, medical patients hail Frostbanger Auto for treating chronic pain, stress, and even depression. Measurements: #1 15” #2 20” #3 17” #4 30” #5 31” #6 24” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

She’s looking much much happier in flowering! I’m not sure how but I’ve grown her bigger than she is rated for maximum height. The end of this week she was 60” or 152cm tall, her rated maximum height was 39” or 100cm so I’m a good 50% taller than rated!!

Update 14/11 - plant has now dried for a week. Will wait for branches to snap and start jarring After 2 days of darkness. Plant was wet trimmed loosely and chopped as a whole. Currently hung up to dry for the next 7 ish days. Nice looking colas this time around :)

So this strain was a wonder to grow, she grew fast and big, responded very well to topping (producing 4 tops, one of which broke) and producing a decent yield! I forgot to weigh again the wet weight but will weigh all once it's dried. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks kinda big for an auto, I'm quite proud of this grow! Will update next week with a dry weight and a smoke update. Happy growing motherpluckers 🌱👍😊 UPDATE 28.08 THIS IS SOME STRONG SHIT! After one joint I feel incredibly stoned, makes me happy, hungry and sleepy. It is so smooth to smoke has a beautiful orange aroma, can't wait to taste a cured bud in a few weeks. Final weight (including the little test buds) was around 85 grams! Nearly double my last plant! If anyone knows anything about bakery seed Co. Please let me know as it's impossible to find information on the Web and this was a free seed from grizzlys that came with my ggg pack. Really happy! Keep growing and push on. 🌱😊

At the end of week 3 I topped one of the strawberry cough they are all looking good and starting to veg I’m all caught up with the grow diary’s and will add at the end of every week. I’m in Australia and did start a little late into the season but hope to get a decent grow in they will be at my brothers once transplanted and he has a few aswel that I will add into the grow log nothing but sun and water only use a little thrive that’s from Bunnings that I get from my pops shed. They will be in a nicer cleaner soil when transplanted into veggie beds and will have chicken poo as a nutrient source first time ever using chicken poo so see how it goes. Will keep the grow log updated and hopefully everything goes all well for the travel and transplant for the plants in the next few days

Week 19, and it's like my plants have hit a leafy plateau – the growth seems to have slowed down, or maybe I've just gotten used to their leafy antics. But hey, who needs fast growth when you've got an overwhelmingly beautiful smell wafting out of your tent? When I open the tent, it's like stepping into a fragrant paradise. The smell is sweet, strong, and just downright heavenly. Is this how heaven smells? If so, sign me up for eternity in a leafy paradise! But it's not all sweet smells and smooth sailing. I've noticed a slight discoloration of some leaves, and I suspect it might be due to a pH issue. Time to put on my plant detective hat and make some adjustments. I'm switching to feeding only pH water for the rest of the grow, hoping to nip this issue in the bud (pun intended). So here's to Week 19 – a week of heavenly smells, pH detective work, and the ongoing adventure of growing these amazing plants. Cheers to my green companions – may they continue to delight the senses and grow into leafy wonders! 🌿🌺

Dec 26/Day 16.25 @5pm: LST begins and at 8pm 1 top leaf defoliated for light penetration. Dec 26 @10pm: Turned bloom lights off (cobs) and left veg lights on. Lowered lighting to 12". Broke her main stalk and taped it. EEEE Giving her a short break from the heat and time to stretch while I LST her. Her humidity levels are up around 54-60% with cobs off and humidifier running. Dec 27/Day 17 @4:20pm: Both cob and veg lights are on again and the light hangs 12" above. Dec 27 @9:30pm: Watered her with 2.5L at a PH of 6.56, soaking the whole pot through for the first time. PH runoff was 6.71 This week, I started watering daily with 0.4L and by week end about 0.75L at PH 6.6-6.7
