Hey Growmies!
I'm buzzing with excitement to share my latest project: two top-notch grow environments. Each tent is a lush green oasis, accommodating 9 plants, all conveniently set on plant rollers. We're employing a smart mix of Scrog (Screen of Green) and Sog (Sea of Green) techniques here. Imagine this: each plant enjoys its individual Scr.o.G., connected right to its air-pot, allowing for effortless mobility and care within the tent. Sounds cool, doesn’t it?
Positioned in a cooler room, I've strategically installed a Solea infrared heater, seamlessly controlled by an Inkbird ITC-308 temperature controller, to maintain a cozy climate. For ideal humidity, each tent is equipped with a Spider Farmer Cool Mist humidifier. Originally, I aimed to have identical setups in both tents, but as all cultivators know, adaptation is key. I ran into an automation snag with the UR45 lights due to their single plug and UV/IR switches. This meant I couldn't run IR in the mornings and evenings and UV during the day without manual intervention. Thus, in Tent 1, I’ve opted for two UR45 lights: one always on IR and the other on UV, each managed by a Meross smart plug.
The Mars Hydro app is at the helm of the light and in-line fan controls, although it's got its limitations. The ITC-308 oversees the infrared heater, and the humidifier self-regulates. Overall, I'm loving the setup, yet I'm already contemplating an upgrade to a single grow controller for all devices in the future.
This grow season is extra special as I’m collaborating with Anesia Seeds and Ganja Farmer Seeds. They've sponsored some amazing strains for this venture. In Tent #1, I'm growing ‘Epic Buzz’, ‘Red Banana Pudding’, and ‘Pink Matcha Slush’ from Anesia Seeds, starting with three seeds of each. Tent #2 will feature ‘Caramel’, ‘GMO’, and ‘Bruce Banner x White Russian’ from Ganja Farmer Seeds, also with three plants each. I will meticulously document their growth journeys in individual grow diaries. Dive into each strain's story through these links:

Frostbanger Plants 1-6
Week 9 May 18– 24
FLOWER 5
Nutrients : 3 gal
GH Micro 20 ml
GH Gro 10 ml
GH Bloom 30ml
CalMag 15 ml
Recharge 10ml
Green sensation 15ml
Power buds 7.5 ml
5/18 PH 6.67, PPM 935, temp 68.5 1 ltr each
5/20 PH 6.67, PPM 1330, temp 68.5 2ltr each
5/23 PH 6.6, PPM 1570, temp 68.5 2ltr each
5/24 pics & vid
Since all 6 gals are getting frosty, I did some trichome pics. The statistics on Frostbanger indicate 50-day flower. Pics show mostly clear and milky.
There are a few with amber trichs and many orange pistils indicating maturation. At least 3 more weeks for maturity on these gals.
I continue manual control of the environment and using 3 circulating fans and 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”
P.S I added a no churn ice cream recipe in week 4 of Natronas recipes. It is easy 3 ingredients. I bought Mango puree instead of fresh and reduced that to reduce water content. Try it. 😋
Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by.
Growers love 💚🌿

12/1/21 - Day 15 of flower. We made it to week 3! We are done with Open Sesame and have moved on to Beastie Bloomz. Pictures will be added soon. They look so good! On track and we’ll just let them bud.
12/2/21 - Wow! They look great today. Plucked some leaves off today and gave them a feeding. Check out the video I posted for today.
12/3/21 - Looking good today. A little stretch on Lemon Kush and Sour OG but they look amazing still. This is going to be a badass harvest! We bumped the light to 100% power as well. We will run this out until harvest.
12/4/21 - Looking good. Buds are getting bigger by the day.
12/5/21 - Today we noticed the humidity is a high and condensation is forming on the walls of the tent. We will be buying a dehumidifier soon.
12/6/21 - They are all looking good! Everything is on autopilot.
12/7/21 - Last day of week 3 flower. Tomorrow starts day 28. We are so excited!

Had to move this one into the flower chamber of the BlumenBot DZ1 cabinet since I'm curing epoxy rosin in the room where the BlumenBot Solo cabinet is in.
Cleaned her up quite a bit, the canopy is nearly there, she might catch up to mendo breath and flip at the same time.
10/8 - cleaned her up a little more and took out a few tops and fan leaves. Also put little 90* angle clips on 4 of the shoots

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks
Evening (Lights On)
Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%).
Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies.
Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K.
Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans).
Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites).
Check for early signs of stretch finishing.
Evening (Before Lights Off)
Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period.
👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites.
Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Another week closer....
This grow went really well, we are at 43 days budding only have about 15 to 20 more days to go.
Both the Gorilla Glue #4 and the Shiskaberry grew without any problems, Great genetics.. All 3 of the Shiskaberrys were the same and you would swear they came from a clone but no from seed and grew like twins.....
Not much else to say.
Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower.

The flush week! Seemed ok - def had nitrogen toxicity in one purple berry kush - maybe too much ripener before. But we’re here - will give them the 24 now and chop. We’re out of time on this run. 90^% of the crop are where I want them to be however I thought I would have more droopy leaves. Will do the harvests on Monday anyways. Have a great week. Tried to edit best j could to do them justice. We were taking pics for the v1 so I brought them all out for a dance. Aroma strong 😂. Take care everyone. Just keep going and keep on bloomin

Compared to her sister, this Pineapple Express auto flowered very early!
I LST'd her while I could, and defoliated what was necessary.
She turned out great! Although the yield for this phenotype is at my lower limit for acceptable.
I'm happy that I'm growing a second one, that vegged out longer, making for a much larger Pineapple Express!

N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions!
Pour préparer votre solution, dans votre réservoir ou arrosoir :
Mettre en premier la base (Iguana)
Ensuite Ancient Earth
Et enfin les bactéries
ASSUREZ-VOUS D'UTILISER UNE EAU DE BONNE QUALITE (EC < 0,2) POUR DE MEILLEURS RESULTATS.
J'utilise un substrat non enrichi pour permettre le meilleur départ à mes plantes.
Il s'agit du Promix de Plagron, il a une EC proche de 0, c'est pour cette raison que je commence les engrais assez fort dès le début. Les plantes sont très gourmande sous LED haute intensité et l'enracinement est rapide.
J'arrose tous les 3 jours environ avec 2 arrosages à l'engrais et 1 à l'eau par semaine. Je n'attend pas que le substrat sèche complétement sinon ça réduit l'efficacité de l'arrosage, ça détruit la faune et éventuellement facilite la cristallisation des minéraux.
Au niveau du volume d'arrosage, il faut prendre en compte 1/3 de la taille du pot. Pour un pot de 1L je vais donc arroser environ 300ml. Pour un Pot de 10L je vais arroser environ 3L.
Il est important d'arroser doucement pour éviter que l'eau ne coule tout de suite au fond.
Il est important d'avoir au moins 15% de drain pour s'assurer d'évacuer tous les nutriments non consommé et faire la place aux nouveaux.
IL EST PRIMORDIALE D'EVACUER L'EAU AU FOND DES COUPELLES, c'est une eau qui est chargée en nutriments non consommé et on ne veut pas qu'elle remonte dans les pots car cela risquerait de créer des blocages.
Au niveau de la technique de taille de formation, je réalise tout de suite une FIM que je reproduirai dès que l'apex aura repoussé. La première FIM est la plus longue mais les suivantes sont très rapide car la plante s'habitue à la technique et cela la stress beaucoup moins. En général il faut reproduire la FIM tous les 3 à 4 jours en fonction de la vigueur. C'est une technique très facile à mettre en œuvre et ne demande aucun matériel. C'est aussi la plus rapide pour obtenir des buissons.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions concernant la FIM!
Je retire également les feuilles supérieur (pas toute pour éviter de ralentir la plante) qui cache les secondaires pour augmenter l'efficacité de la FIM sur la croissance des secondaires.
