W9.D1(60) ๐ŸŒธโฐ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ง I think the time has come to transition to flowering. ๐ŸŒธ As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights โฐ before, and I know that the standard is to switch to 12/12. However, I'd like to experiment with reducing the lighting by 30 minutes each day this week, aiming to reach 14/10. ๐ŸŒŸ This gradual approach will let us ๐Ÿ‘€ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care ๐Ÿ”ง. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ“‰โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฒ Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. ๐ŸŒฟ Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the ๐Ÿ”ช blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual ๐Ÿ“‰ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh โœ‚๏ธ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach ๐Ÿคฒ, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for. W9.D2(61) ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ“‰โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Nothing special is happening. ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ As the days continue, I am reducing the light ๐ŸŒž hours and gradually trimming the excess โœ‚๏ธ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our ๐ŸŒฑ champion. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŒฟ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. ๐Ÿค” It's a delicate balance of stress ๐Ÿ’ก and growth, where each cut ๐Ÿšซ might impact her readiness to ๐ŸŒธ bloom. ๐Ÿ โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”— But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. ๐Ÿ  Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip โœ‚๏ธ boosts the vitality ๐Ÿ’ช of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links ๐Ÿ”— to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ’งโž•๐Ÿ”™ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. ๐Ÿ”„ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence ๐Ÿ’ง is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing โž• Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ฆ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. ๐ŸŒฑ With her vigorous ๐ŸŒฟ growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. ๐ŸŒŸ Her ambition to explore beyond the ๐Ÿ” confines of her ๐Ÿ“ฆ environment is both astounding and challenging. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒŸ I'm not sure how I'll manage it, but the example set by @Chamomile with his compact yet extremely effective growing method is truly inspiring. ๐Ÿค” While pondering this, the innovative ๐Ÿ’ก approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, ๐ŸŒฑ greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of ๐Ÿ‘ applause for its efficiency and ๐ŸŒŸ brilliance. W9.D5(64) ๐Ÿ•’๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. ๐Ÿ•’ Having adjusted the ๐ŸŒž light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we ๐ŸŒฑ observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage ๐ŸŒธ right before our ๐Ÿ‘€ eyes. W9.D6(65) ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ”„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. ๐ŸŒฑ As time ๐Ÿ”„ unfolds, our grow box ๐Ÿ“ฆ becomes increasingly vibrant with ๐ŸŒฟ lush greenery, brimming with the ๐Ÿ’š essence of vitality.

Took a short video this week to hopefully help you get a better idea of the size of the plant and nugs. I think I've got about 2.5 weeks to go!

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 strainโ€™s dank, pungent odor is super strongโ€”meaning a carbon filter is a must to mask the aroma in any grow room and sheโ€™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!

D71/F19 - 11.25 - Got them all defoliated. Everything is looking open, lots of light for the flowers, lots of room to grow and good airflow. I've got a couple co2 bags hanging in there too now. D75/F24 - 11.29 - Responded well to defoliation. Getting chunky! <3

These cali genetics are blowing my mind ๐Ÿคฏ super sticky, very frosty rock dence buds with extra strong smells. All 3 strains are 10 out of 10, very impressed. Done last defoliation few days ago, preparing for the harvest so it's much easier. Stalks are super fat, same as buds. Got big surprise from Atami, plant food, and many extras. Crazy. Thanks a lot guys. ๐Ÿ’š Start adding you Bloombastic food already. They love it. Smell is mad. I think most of plants ready in week or so.

Itโ€™s the eighth week of flowering, and the plant is looking absolutely gorgeous! The buds and leaves have turned a deep purple with rich autumn hues, giving the plant such a unique, almost magical appearance. The sweet smell has become even stronger and fills the whole grow space with a powerful, sugary aroma. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ Iโ€™ve noticed the trichomes starting to turn an amber colorโ€”just the sign Iโ€™ve been waiting for! Most of them are still milky, but the amber hints show weโ€™re getting close. This week, Iโ€™ve started the flushing process to clear out any remaining nutrients and prepare for harvest. ๐Ÿ’ง Everythingโ€™s on track, and I couldnโ€™t be more excited for the final steps! ๐Ÿ˜โœจ

Update: 5 weeks of flowering complete. Gorilla widow started to hermie a bit on the bottom. I made the mistake of not removing enough popcorn buds and they didnโ€™t get any light. I cut them all off the plant and now hoping it doesnโ€™t hermie the rest of plant due to shock. We shall see, no big deal tho. The bigger deal... stayed at my Gf place from Friday- Sunday came back Sunday to find out the ballast for 1000watt had died!!! Ordered a new ballast and it will be here by Wednesday. For now Iโ€™m using an old 600 watt cool tube.

Week 7 begins for Glueberry OG! She's also developed a hunger for more nutrients as temps have increased, so an extra liter of food she got, midway through the week. The OG kush genetics are much more noticeable during this second grow. August 1 - added some close up pictures.
