🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿
Hey Grow Fam,
We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold!
The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :)
But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone.
To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! (
If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem)
Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this!

Day 21 veg: Her we are at the midway point of the setting up for flowering and theybare all playing nicely so far. All at their 5th nodes and needing a plan for training now.
Herz.o.g has been f.i.m.m.e.d now andnhopefully will shoot her 4th and 3rd nodes up to become hopeful mains. She is the biggest of the 6 newer plants by a long shot and seems to be very energetic indeed.
Monster mash is the smallest of the group but by no means slouching. she looks nice and healthy and will be trained lst as soon as she has enough growth.
Strawberry Cola also on her 5th node and close to being trained , is slightly lighter in colour than her cousins so I am hoping the Megacrop adds some nice green to the leaves for photosynthesis.
A steady progressive week for them all. lets see what another week can do.
be safe and well

10/27:
I rearranged the garden today and checked to see if she needed water yet. Nope..
10/28:
I watered her with about 1/4 gallon including terpinator, bembe, cal-mag, and some beastie bloomz because she's a little K deficient.
10/29:
She's only stretching about an inch every couple of days..spending more energy on pistils, which is fine by me. Damn she's a hungry one, though!
I'm still planning to flush tomorrow with no major nutes, but will give her another little dose of N and a metric shit-ton of P and K once she dries back out.
10/30:
I decided not to do a flush and just did a very thorough watering today with added terpinator, bembe, cal-mag, humic acid, myco and bene bacti. I put about a half-gallon through her and let her sit and soak up all the run-off. It should take a few days for her to dry out.
10/31:
I checked her moisture level. I'll feed her tomorrow. She's still looking P and.or K deficient despite my attempts to correct it.
11/1:
I took her out of the closet and did a little defoliating. I sprinkled a little bat guano on her soil and fed her with about a half-gallon including all the good stuff, including beastie bloomz and full strength Tiger bloom. Surely that'll do the trick...
11/2:
She still looks terribly K deficient and I just don't get it..thinking maybe my Ph tester needs recalibration or something. Like, maybe it's just to acidic for the K to be absorbed...
I sprayed her thoroughly with boom boom spray and a little tiger bloom today.

5/3 Week 6
Last day for Grow nuets looks like stretch is stopping. Will confirm in the AM.
Also be ending the round of PK tomorrow.
Lights at full power and set to @16 inches to start.
Leaving the MH bulb in place a couple of weeks
Very light defoliation just to keep middle of the plants open, this strain does not need much at all.
5/4
Ending Grow nuets as stretch is playing out so no further need of the Nitrogen, lot in the pot still.
Last day for the PK on this go round.
Next time we grow this strain going to look at alternate methods of training, FIM is the likely candidate.
5/5 Back down to just Bloom A/B nuets
Stretch slowing down as Baba and Sally reach the same height as Athena that started first.
Everybody seems happy even the little one
5/6
Moved up the lights, was seeing some light stress on the girls, leaf praying.
Bumping up the Bloom nuets for now see how it goes, getting close to next round of PK booster waiting for the cotton balls to develop sufficiently.
Gave all a shot of Fish Sh!T this morning 4ml/gal.
Pretty much all of it
5/7
Pics
Raised lights further still have some praying leaves.
Tomorrow should be PK day as the cotton balls should be formed by then.
5/8
Looks like the last the stretch has finally ended on Baba, thought she was going to be a good kind of problem but didnt have to raise the lights today so there is that.
Have to be careful with these lights and watch for light stress more diligently than I have so far.
HID at 600w is 17 inches above the rear plants, TS at 150W is 18 inches above the tallest front plant(Sally), seems to be working.
Added KoolBloom back into the feed, 2ml/gal, the buds have become little cotton balls so its time.
Cleaned up the lower end of the plants, was getting snaky down there.
5/9
pics
Ending the week by doing a little bending on the tallest branches on Baba, they were a full two inches higher than any other.
She is still growing a little but nothing to really notice.

It looks so good the purple is so dark it’s black. Super frosty very pungent aroma. I’ll post the final weight in a few weeks.
**Jjust a quick update - dried weight after 21 days from the chop 410 g.
Not bad considering the light was only used for flower. Can’t wait to get a full cycle with this bad boy. **

This week, I continued growing 4 WestCoast OG plants. The plants are feeling better day by day and have reached 78 days since planting the seeds.
The care routine included:
Watering every other day, 1 liter per plant. The water solution contained flowering fertilizer NPK 3-5-8 (10 ml/L) and organic super-concentrate fertilizer (5 ml/L).
I noticed that the flower buds on the closer plants have significantly enlarged. The further plant, which was lagging in flowering, has caught up and now reaches a height of around 45 cm, with small 10 mm diameter flowers.
One interesting observation - I found a mutation on one of the leaves, from which a small flower is growing that is not increasing in size.
Next week, I plan to:
Continue watering the plants with the same fertilizer solutions.
Stop spraying the leaves to avoid the risk of mold on the buds.
Closely monitor the temperature, as it's starting to drop outside and the room is not insulated. If the temperature falls below 18°C, the plant growth may slow down.
Overall, the plants continue to develop at a good pace, and I expect to be able to harvest in 10-14 days.

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!

As you can see, they are growing incredibly.
They are strong, healthy and resistant, which I can immediately iron the branches.
Bionova nutrients alternating with Bio canna are doing a great job.
This week if the growth continues like this I will already be able to cut between the 4th and 5th nodes.
And start mounting the net for the scrog
We'll see how it goes.
No rush, no stress.
Just so much love and professionalism for plants and they will grow lush.

Day 77 - June 18
June 18 - 06.00AM One Amber trichome found. Will water with 5L of water at 6.3PH this morning. Wilted leaves are still springy. I'd like to defoliate but will wait until they're completely wilted.
June 18 - 06.45AM Soil is still cold, a little moist. I'll water at approximately 9AM
June 18 - 10.45AM Removed dead leaves to avoid pests (as sharing tent with outdoor plants at night).
June 18 - 10.45AM Watered 4.5L to runoff at 6.3PH. Time taken approximately 1 hour to saturate soil.
June 19 - 09.00AM Trichomes are starting to morph from clear to cloudy. Each clear head is now about 50% cloudy. There are slightly more light amber trichomes appearing. I suspect just under a week remaining.
June 20 - 07.00PM Found another amber trichome on a more developed cola. With more half-clear trichomes becoming cloudy. I suspect I'll chop in 5 days or so. Leaf necrosis is developing further with some fan leaves (with trichomes) are decaying. I'd really like to see more purple by this stage, but I'll settle for a pineapple fade.
June 22 - 08.20AM Temperature ate 78F at ground level. TOO HIGH! Had to turn the AC off due to partner being cold overnight. Possibly lost terpines+potency - frustrated. Trichomes still seem too clear for my liking.
June 22 - 10.40AM Watered 4-5L to runoff at 6.3PH. Should have watered yesterday, though pot was still relatively heavy. Removed one dead leaf resting on budsite.
June 23 - 06.00AM Removed a few dead leaves. Trichomes are still cloudy. Some milky, it's close - though little to no ambers.
June 24 - 07.00PM Removed more dead leaves + 1 healthy accidentally. Trichomes are about the same. Removed all LST ties.
