Not that much happening, I had some night temperature issues but that is fixed now with a heater I still have her on a 12/12 because she is in a room with 3 photoperiods, but in a week or 3 they will be switched to a 18/6 light cycle 👌🏻 Good growing everyoneee!

Frostbanger Plants 1-6 Week 12 June 8-14 FLOWER 7 Sadly, my journey with Frostbanger is almost over. This grow started as an unnamed FBA2502 tester strain completely unknown regarding growth habits, size, flavor profile or smoke effect. I used LST on two plants: #1 because she was leaning over so I decided to pin her down immediately. I decided to LST Plant #3 when I saw her nodes were short and stems were tight. To quote Fastbuds “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. I mention this because 2 plants #4 & #5 always looked lighter than their counterparts. Having overfed in the past grows, I did not want to repeat the same mistake, especially when the other plants were lush and green and did not look deficient. I thought it was genetics, but I found out that these two plants probably had nutrient lockout and would have benefitted from a good flush. Overall, I didn’t make mistakes with overfeeding or over trimming. I had to manually control the environment since the ventilation went out. I did pretty good at maintaining a functional environment. Plants #2 & #5 developed pretty reds in their upper buds and leaves probably because of the air conditioner. The A/C brought the night temperatures to 65-68. This week I am flushing with an anticipated harvest this weekend. I did the last plant pictures and videos and trichome shots on each plant. I did preliminary defoliation removing the remaining fan leaves. For most of the sugar leaves I trimmed off the ends leaving the base with all the frost. These are going into the trim bag to be washed into bubble hash. I plan on pressing #5 because she is the frostiest. 6/9 PH 6.46 PPM 239, temp 68 2 ltr each 6/10 PH 6.6, PPM 230, temp 68 2ltr each 6/12 PH 6.4, PPM 242, temp 68.5 2ltr Thank you for sharing this journey with me and as aways, thanks for visiting, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿my friends. 💫Natrona💫

Howdy it is day 63 and in 2 days it is time to harvest. Since 2 weeks i feed clear Walter only. They get 16 hours darkness before harvest. All the plants are really🔥 My favourites are still 3G and Wedding Gelato. The smell and Look is crazy. You will see i guess Also North Thunderfuck and Hulkberry is good looking. The weight of North Thunderfuck for the dice is insane. I wish everyone a nice Day and good time. Stay safe 💚

Set up an evaporative cooler to act as an intake and to cool the temp through evaporation. It I was able to get the average temperature down to an average of 77°. Relative Humidity increased to an average of 55%. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evaporative Cooler: The evaporative cooler was way bigger than I thought and blowing all the air into the tent would be overkill and would throw off my ventilation given that I only have a 4inch exhaust fan blowing air out. So I had to rig an air duct onto the front to channel some, but not all, of the air coming from the evaporative cooler. I cut a hole in a plastic brownie box and zip tied right angle plate that I had leftover from an ikea furniture. Then I put velcro tape to easily attach and remove the air duct from the cooler for future maintentance and cleaning. I left the room where my tent is closed one day and the humidity went up to 84% which also increased the temperature to 90° but I found that simply leaving the room door open gives the cooler enough air circulation in order to function properly and averaged out at 55% RH and 77° F. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Defoliated some ugly fan leaves that were shading a lot of lower buds.

Well this week I had to give the girls a fairly big trim they were beautifully bushy but they were struggling for space so I cut back the heavy shade leaves that were covering bud sites I am also adding bloom to there feed from now but they are doing really well and the smell in the tent is devine. 💚🙏🌱🙏💚🙏🌱🙏💚

As said before, I'm incredibly happy that I got to harvest a little bit. Never expected her to make it, but she kind off did! The smell was pungent and sweet like an amnesia haze should be, hoping that will be even better after drying and curing!

it took some time to go into flowering i should have done the dark period earlier to induce flowering i lost at least 2 weeks no problem, first flowering hairs are visible i topped this plant a bit early so yield won't be so big i just want to taste this strain from my own hands hope she does well

Not that impressive, buds are quite airy except for one or two which are better but not dense nugs like I was hoping for. I still love this strain, the colours and growing it is good fun. Maybe again one day

Hola cultivadores 🌊🌊🏄‍♂️ Una semana más ha pasado para esta chica, su primer semana asomándose a conocer el mundo real, donde los calores le dan duro pero se resiste abrazando al sol, apuntando con sus hojas al cielo. Así la encontré hoy, bajo el domo que usamos para mantener un ambiente húmedo y darle a sus raíces la posibilidad de expandirse entre el aireado sustrato. 💦♻️ El suelo parece estar bastante bien, cada vez que entierro los palillos chinos a partir de unos 4 cm por debajo de la superficie se mantiene húmedo pero no abundante. Sólo recibe 1 litro de agua cada dos días con una dosis de MicroVita®️ y algunas heces de cabra No mucho más que decir, solo que deseo ver ese fenotipo de duckfoot para disfrutarla en mi terraza, donde recibe aprox 7 horas de luz directa y otras 8 indirectamente. Intentaré no alimentar con minerales hasta la cuarta semana de floración ya que he planificado el sustrato 🤞🌱 Smokin' love Un saludo grande a esos seres que siempre están por ahí, haciendo crecer el mundo!

🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) 🍰 Grower: Dog Doctor Pheno Selection: Lava Cake #1 & #2 Pots: 11L Amnesia Fabric Pots Light: Future Off – Black Series 600 Environment: Dual air systems (TrolMaster + Spider Farmer) Feeding: Hand-watering (for now) Monitoring: TrolMaster ecosystem (in progress) ⸻ 🌱 Transplant Time – Rooted, Ready, and Rising This week marked a major milestone: our two selected phenos, Lava Cake #1 and #2, were officially transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. The girls are thriving, roots are pristine white and full of life, and the energy in the tent is buzzing with potential. We celebrated the moment properly—with photos in the studio, of course. They looked so beautiful, they deserved the spotlight. 📸 We’ll try this again next week, before they grow too big to carry! ⸻ Why Fabric Pots? We chose Amnesia fabric pots for their root-focused benefits: • Air-pruning the roots naturally, preventing circling and encouraging a healthy root ball • Increased oxygen to the root zone, supporting microbial activity and faster nutrient uptake • Better drainage, reducing the risk of overwatering • Durability & sustainability—washable and reusable Fabric pots turn the container into a living zone that breathes with the plant. And now, these queens have the space they need to express themselves fully. ⸻ 🌿 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a rich, bio-balanced super soil transplant mix, boosted with Aptus Holland amendments: 🔄 Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with beneficial mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – promotes microbial diversity and root health • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH and nutrient flow 💧 Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml (stress support & nutrient flow) • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml (structure & balance) • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml (base nutrition) • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml (root & shoot stimulation) 💦 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C We continue to bottom-water—placing the solution in trays and letting the girls draw it in themselves. This promotes downward root expansion and avoids oversaturation at the crown. ⸻ 🌀 Airflow & Environmental Control With multiple strains in one tent, proper airflow and environmental balance are essential. • 2x 6-inch Extractors (one TrolMaster Aerofan, one Spider Farmer) • 1x 6-inch Intake Fan • All fans are filtered with carbon filters to purify air and manage odor, even early on. Prevention is key. The Aerofan is controlled by the TrolMaster system, giving real-time response to temp and humidity. The Spider Farmer fan is managed by a GGS controller, running parallel automation. • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Light: Full-spectrum from the Black Series 600—compact, clean, and consistent. This environment isn’t just “good”—it’s being crafted as a living ecosystem. One that will evolve into semi-automation, allowing us to trust and fine-tune from the TrolMaster app. ⸻ 🔍 What This Week Is (and Isn’t) What it is: • A foundational week: transplant, root expansion, environmental balance • A chance to observe and support the transition without stress • A moment to shift from “starter energy” to serious vegetative growth What it isn’t: • A week for heavy training—we’re letting them root down before any top work • A time to overwater—bottom-feeding keeps everything stable • A race—slow roots = strong fruits later on ⸻ 💬 Final Words Our Lava Cakes are happy, lush, and ready to grow into queens. With their roots now in rich, living soil, and the tent gradually evolving into a precision-controlled jungle, we’re laying the groundwork for a clean, healthy, and joyful flowering run ahead. More studio photos soon. More lessons too. This isn’t just a grow, it’s a journey of discovery, shared with love.

Comenzando ya la ultima fase del cultivo, descubrimos una paleta de olores bastante amplia la cual nos recuerda olores como Mango fresco y Melón Tuna, olores bien marcados. Comenzaremos el lavado de raices, ya que empezamos a ver tricomas con tonalidades "ambar", esperemos seguir con este resultado el cual nos tiene bastante satisfechos. !Saludos & Buenos Humos! 🙌

Day 63 and still going. My ph was off the hook at 8.5 out the tap. Which I’ve gotten handled now. I couldn’t figure out this situation fast enough but she’s bulking and happy. She’s a slow chugging lady but that’s okay. Large and in charge can win the race. It’s

New clones just arrived! Starting them off straight into coco coir this time. First transplant today into solo cups. They got a pretty heavy first watering with a PPM of about 425. Hoping to really start them off strong. I will be vegging them for much longer than usual. I typically veg my plants for 4 to 6 weeks and these girls will be vegging for 8 to 9. This grow will be a great chance for me to try some HEAVY plant training techniques.
