Back soon. Take it easy.

Plant is doing fine, just a few issues with pests so I had to remove infected leafs but no big deal. Plant is 90 cm high and stopped growing, I think anonther 2 or 3 weeks to harvest. Had to support is with a bamboo stick because the top is getting heavy and its quite windy at night on my balcony. I posted some random pictures and videos from the last few weeks, hope you like them.

The plants finally seem like they're picking up steam, with more noticeable growth every day. We're really surprised by the variation between Plant #3 and the others. All plants have been receiving the same light levels and watering but Plant #3 is super leggy! The space between 2 nodes is almost as much as the entire height of Plant #2. Day 22 - light levels have been slowly increased throughout week 3. We're now averaging 27k LUX across the canopy. - More LST on Plants #1 and #3, started some very minor LST on Plant #2. - We plan to do another magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) foliar feed, although we think that our last foliar feed did have some positive effect and the yellowing of the leaves has improved some. - These girls are also finally starting to become thirsty and i expect that we'll be increasing our watering frequency this week. - We've noticed that these plants tend to respond better to daytime temps between 78-83F. Under 78F and they seem to look and grow rather sluggish. We wonder if that has to do with the fact that LED lights do not provide any UV, therefore, in order to maintain optimal leaf surface temperature, the air temp perhaps needs to be slightly higher than if using CMH or HPS bulbs. It's just a theory but regardless of the science, we're aiming for 80-82F during veg. - We trimmed the lowest set of branch shoots off of Plant #2. It is so compact in there... 6 nodes in less than 2 inches of growth! The branches are all tiny so we're going to experiment a little and focus the growth on the main stem, leaving a few of the more robust looking branches. Day 23 - Watered with dechlorinated, aerated tap water, with approximately 1ml/gal of GHE's "CALiMAGic". pH adjusted to 6.5 - Continued LST on plants #1 & #3. We got a little too carried away with Plant #1 and ended up ever so slightly breaking the main stem! Luckily, it was just a small "gash" and we're confident it'll heal up quickly (see "Day 23" photo above). - As part of our LST treatment, we do leaf tucking as well, which seems to be having a positive effect on the development of some of those branches that are covered by the larger fan leaves. - Day 23 really was a day of mishaps... our air conditioner timer did not turn on again and for about 6 hrs the temperature inside the tent reached 87F. - Our HLG Elite 360 light fixture is now running at approximately 40-45% intensity, at about 32" above the canopy. Combined with the Sunblaster strip lights, we're getting approximately 28-30,000 LUX across the canopy. - I expect that we'll start seeing some pre-flowers/pistils within this next week, at which time we'll be looking at swapping the three 6400K Sunblasters with two 2700K Sunblasters, to supplement our main light. - Lastly, we did another magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) foliar feed at lights-out. We went a bit stronger than anticipated, with a 700ppm solution of dechlorinated, aerated tap water and approximately 1 teaspoon of epsom salts per gallon. We were aiming for about 400ppm, so hopefully 700 isn't too high! pH adjusted to 6.6 and applied with a fine mist spray bottle. Day 24 - Started LST on Plant #2, tied down main top, some leaf tucking. - Temp: 73-82F - RH: 45-60% - Lowered HLG Elite 360 light fixture by 1-2 inches, to approximately 30 inches above canopy. - Lowered the center Sunblaster LED strip by 1-2 inches. - LUX: 27-30,000+ - Our "light meter" app maxes out at 30,000 LUX, so we're unable to read anything above that... A proper light meter is on our wishlist! 👌 Day 25 - LST on Plant #2 - Lowered Elite 360 fixture to 28" above canopy. Increased intensity to approx. 50%. - LUX estimated at 29-32,000 across canopy. Day 26 - Plant #2 showing some light/heat stress. - Raised Elite 360 fixture up 2-3 inches. - Aiming for slightly lower temperatures of 78-80F, instead of 80-82F Day 27 - Watered with a 315ppm nutrient solution. Watered to approximately 10% runoff. Day 28 - Defoliation of a few fan leaves and small branches from Plant #1 & #2. - Plant #2 really seems to have some dwarf genetics showing up or something... very small branches and leaves... looking under-developed. We're a bit concerned that she won't have what it takes to put on weight. - Temperatures have been swinging a bit further than we'd like, reaching down to 73F during lights off and occasionally getting up to 84F during lights on. Most of the time the temp sits between 79-80F. - Pistils are definitely showing on Plants # 1 & #2, with Plant #3 the furthest behind in pre-flower (but also the largest plant!). - Week 4 to week 5 is typically where we've run into nutrient deficiency and excess issues, so we're really hoping this coming week goes smoothly.

Fast finishing and the smell of blueberry and cheesy candy. I didn’t take a wet weight. Waiting on the drying now. This was just a run with 3 from seed to find a winner. 2 of them are winners. One of blueberry candy and the other smells literally like a mf cat pissed on it. I’m guessing from these 3 shmedium plants will put out about 1.5lbs. We will see in a couple more weeks. It looks gorgeous though. This was just a test run with a few from seed to pick out the winners. I’ll be doing a full run in my 5 x 10 tent my next grow and I will be actually doing a full diary. More to come on another diary.

week intel: we reached the peak of flowering stage and need to cause a little more e.c stress from this week so e.c stress is twice a week i reduced the amount of Nitrogen and calcium and stopped feeding silicate in other hand i raised the amount of base nutrient and booster short story version: more K & P - less N stresses : a little E.C stress around 1.6 and 1.7 twice a week from this week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 822 ppm - 1.6 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 525 ppm - 1 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause e.c stress again guide of the week : from this week we can cause more E.C stresses. e.c stress if done correctly is one of the very few ways to increase quality in all aspects ( color , aroma , taste , bud structure , resin contents ) but if you over do it , listen carefully brother : it can reduce quality in every aspect so always look for signs and never reach the red line.

Moved the trellis higher to get some light in. Buds seem a little small. I think I flowered it too soon. Looks healthy. Smells sweat and creamy.

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 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Oct 17: ideally these would get a few more weeks or moved indoors, but I’ll just harvest them in two days on the last nice day before we get freezing temps. These were just a timing experiment to see how they’d do in the available time. Oct 18: have been watering with 25 C water in late morning once the sun is up for the day. The idea being to warm the soil while there is direct sun to promote flowering at this late stage. Oct 22: forecast improved so still going for a few more days. Oct 23: harvested 8 Bubble OG and one Hash Bud clone for total 850 g. Bubble OG was not ready but weather turns cold soon. HB was nearly ripe. 850 g wet from nine clones.

Week 4 of flower complete for these very hairy Garlic Cookies by 34streetseedco. Getting very frosty and sticky 🤗 I am in ❤️ with the smells and terps coming from this plant, like walking through a pine forest 🌲 No issues this far! Did a little defoliation of the lower canopy again, more of a clean up. Also removed a few that were blocking good bud sites. Canopy is looking 🔥 I’m very pleased with the amount of stretch and evenness. All 4 plants were popped from seed, from the same pack, and are looking almost identical 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️Great Genetics go a long way 🤓

Flowering coming along very well. THE BIG STRETCH has begun haha. All the plants stretching and getting ready for flowering is what I mean haha. Smell is super nice from the gorilla glue and the mold is decreasing rapidly. Used half milk and half ph solution along with many copper treatments to help cure the mold situation which came up from bringing an outdoor plant indoors, never so this!

Beginning of week... This plant has been growing for over a month now. I didnt expect it to come out this amazing.. So now I am creating the grow diary lol. I flipped it to 12/12 this week. She was just going to be LST'd but the top had broke off while making adjustments to the LST one day earlier on.. Damnit.. She's still gonna make some dank ass nugs tho! After 3 - 4 days of 12/12 she has already begun her stretching! End of week... She has stretched some this week.. Not very much in my opinion.. But some for sure.. Not many pistils yet.. Some but no nugs building yet. When you cruch the leaves you have defoliated from this girl.. They have a more danky smell.. Its crazy.. Different than other strains I have grown.. I didnt expect leaves to carry different smells also!

From/Desde: 14/07/18 || To/Hasta: 20/07/18 From day/Desde día: 43 || To day/Hasta día: 49 -----WEEK SUMMARY----- The Lemon is very dense in vegetation, lower Colas are growing very vertical soon i will fix them to the pots to perform a bit of LST. At the end of this week i will perform a topping on the main branch. Also this week i finally found trips everywhere, and how not... white flies. Is the first time i must fight with this creatures, and i wasn't able to erradicate trips with neem and preventives, so i've been hunting them until the end of summer with forceps. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- La Lemon tiene una vegetación muy densa, las colas inferiores están creciendo muy verticales, así que pronto las ataré al tiesto para darlas un poco de espacio y obtener mayor iluminación general en la planta. Al final de esta semana también le haré topping a la rama principal. También esta semana he encontrado trips y mosca blanca por todas partes. Es la primera vez que he de luchar contra estos bichos y no he sido capaz de erradicar los trips con neem y preventivos, por lo que los he estado cazando hasta final de verano con una pinzas.
