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!

Here's the outdoor update on the SFV, still standing tall at 6 feet and 4 inches at week 12 with the cali days stretched from 12 hr flowering to still 14hr sunlight days she's still going through some late blooming but no deficiencys the leaves 🍃 nor on the stems, there looking great and green. 25 gal pot I gave her 4 gallons of fresh water must needed on these long hot days in cali. If my anyone see anything that would help with this grow it would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day growing today and everyday. 👨‍🌾

My first time making alcohol tintcure Using the c1 , Hold on tight gonna be a trip

Looking very good, this ladies are breaking the shield within 48hs since planted as I was expecting, let's see how my beautiful queens develop on this "little run" on a 2x4! Growing with a tsl2000 by mars hydro! 👨‍🌾💯✌️ Stay tuned guys.

Aug 2: Tropicana Cookies FF is three weeks younger than my two biggest plants (Sunday Punch EV and Mimosa Shot) and two weeks younger than Lemon Cream Kush. This is a very strong plant and is progressing very well. This wagon with LCK started force flowering a week later than the other wagon and will go another week longer. TC is now the tallest of the four plants despite being the youngest. Aug 5: now done force flowering after 2.5 weeks. Plants in this wagon are getting too big to easily get into garage. Continuing to use far red light as a bloom booster at dusk. Back to 15.5 h of daylight in the backyard now.

Germination - I planted the seeds at home in a light mix substrate. After 5 days, I transplanted into the previously prepared substrate Ingredients of my Substrate : 10l soil, 1l perlite, 0.8l vermikulit, 0.8 worm humus, 30g Guanokalong powder, 30g Guanokalong seaweed powder, 30g Guanokalong veg pearls. Unfortunately, the weather forecast called for a night temperature of 7 degrees, so I made a greenhouse out of pet bottles Blue granules are protection against slugs, I have had very bad experiences with them. As you can see slugs are really many and have made my plants slug cemetery :D Slime everywhere one looks, I call it the path of death Watered with water from the stream directly from the spring

Sie hat eine sehr schöne Farbe bekommen und die buds sind schön fest geworden

Really nice strain , still not figured out why it autoflowered. Hints of sweet cheese and that lemon citrus from the jack H

Start of week 6 Day 42: lots of white pistils appearing now. with this being an experiment to see if i could sprout a seed as i have never grown a plant before it is going really well! tried a light LST to try and salvage the harvest a tad. the Dwarf is also stretching alot more now due to flowering. after applying LST im hoping for between 2-4g of buds :). Thanks for checking out my diary! my other plants are doing much better and id appreciate it if you check them out too! Happy growing people! Day 46: 23/10/19 Posted a video showing the flowers and trichomes :) did the same for my other two diaries and im really excited for the rest of the flowering phase. Still need to invest in an oscillating fan to blow fresh air around the leaves, A 1m2 runoff tray (currently have 2 small ones and they irritate me) more rope rachets for adjustable height as i found out my light can go as low as 60cm ( i used 100cm). using a box to raise height as a temporary solution and an intake fan to bring the cold air in easier :) plants still dont have a strong smell so i really didnt need to purchase a carbon filter until now. still it makes sense to be prepared! :) This week ive been spraying a layer of Rhizotonic/water (1ml/1L)on the top of the coco twice a day to keep it from drying out, reduce plant stress and help the roots continue to grow :) the stems are huge! Ive also been feeding on monday, wednesday and trying to flush on fridays. i think Canna A+B will be enough for this grow, il probably get some bud boosters next grow if they arent necessary :) Keep on growing folks and check out my other diaries if you get a chance!

First 35 days of flower. Will slowly decrease the feedings for the next 4 weeks and then chop. Smells great with purple hues in the leaves and buds. Every seed has had different physical characteristics but they all seem to have a similar gassy smell.

Almost. I will give her a few more days to potentially fill out more. Real good production top to bottom, fairly even in maturity timing. Still very sweet, skittles smell. Really hoping I enjoy this strain, never been a haze fan. The purple definitely good be my fault, been some colder days and the tent is in a warmer weather position in the lung room. Resetting the tent after her, cleaning, new pots, new soil, and new opportunities to improve.

Mein bester und Ertragreichster grow kommt zum Ende…

This past week has gone without a hitch. Touch wood but my light timer blunder last week hasn't punished me... Yet... The girls are still bulking up, the lady at the back must be in the dark almost, those large colas at the back are actually from the middle plant... Proper bully! Unfortunately as I have to go under the lights to take some photos, all of the exposures and colours look a bit different from photo to photo. Exactly 4 weeks until the planned chop now :P I'll be making dry ice hash from fresh trim also, and will post some pics when the big day comes... P.s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n765oOU_MMo - compelling evidence for adding UVB to your grows :)

Both ladies finished around 60th day of flowering with 5-10 % Amber Trichome coverage. Small buds stocking up to make long huge bud sides smelling fruity kush tones. I have also noticed that they are super sticky. Both phenos grew quite identical even though they received different nutrients line in different pot sizes which tells me that the genetics are very consistent.

Been giving her plain water for the last two weeks. Started chopping on her Sunday. I’ve taken the the biggest colas first hoping some of the lower smaller buds may fatten a bit. I’ve been trimming for 3 days. She’s super resinous! Wet trimmed the first half of her and will be dry trimming the rest. I’ve left a few buds on the plant. Experimenting a bit going to see if I can get the remaining buds to hermie and get some seeds. I know the seeds could carry the hermie gene if it works. I was thinking of using them for some gorilla grows the summer.

4/28 Day 35 I wish this plant was bigger. Could be my fault. Her transition to flower was at such an odd time(3weeks) and that’s when her last feeding was coming to an end but should I give her flower nutes early? Do half an half? Or just wait and then give flower? I waited and I shouldn’t have considering that organic inputs take time to feed your plants. Depending on what you’re using. First time trying Gaia green. I do like the ease of it but it would take some adjustments for me to utilize it best. A month between feeding is too long for my impatient ass and it gives me too long of a commitment to not fuck up. I’m also using roots organics with some other plants and I’m really liking the weekly feedings. It makes more sense than a month. What if I have a strain that’s like 10 week flower? Do I just do another dose at week 7 and 8 and then because it’s “organic you don’t need to flush” thing. Probably over thinking it but yeah here’s my plant yall 😂

Sorry guys some trouble only a vid today. Best at this week , i had to re attach the Sanlight directly to the tent cause only cause plants got too high. I do not suggest this fun to anyone 😂🙈.
