Introduction - Week 22 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17753.5,
Another grow week,
In the main tent, nothing but general checkups. Also did a second trichome check under the microscope. Decided to try ripening under and 11/13 light cycle and have also determined a harvest day.
In the veg tent, been keeping up with solo waterings. Also topped the garden.
Onwards to next week.

==========================================================
Day 01 - Monday - 03/30/26 - Total Days: 145
-----------------------------------
Daily Averages ~[+01:00]

- VPD: 0.62 kPa
- Soil %: [52, 42, 46, 41, 51, 61, 47, 62, 49, 91]
-----------------------------------
- [21:08]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- The garden is looking and smelling great and getting louder.
--- Buds are stacking and trichomes are ripening.
--- During the ripening phase, instead of increasing the DLI by switching to an 18/6 light cycle, decided to try something different.
--- Decided to reduce the light cycle a bit more.
- [21:12]: Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller,
--- Adjusted the 'Flower [12/12]' Schedule for the grow light.
--- GROW LIGHT (MARS HYDRO FC-6500):
------ Changed the START/END time values from 07:00PM/07:00AM to 07:00PM/06:00AM
--- When trying to mimic nature, reducing the hours down to 11/13 makes more sense rather than increasing to an 18/6 cycle.
--- Anyways.

--- Using the BluMat key, increased the water moisture by rotating the tension cap slightly counter-clockwise.
- [19:34]: Took general PPFD readings.
------ Chill Out OG #2 was around 372 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 14.73 mol/m²/d under an 11/13 light cycle.
------ Heady OG BX1 #1 and TKO #2 were around 819 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 32.43 mol/m²/d under an 11/13 light cycle.
--------- Grow Light Intensity: LV3 @ ~268.6W
- [19:40]: Took height and light distance measurements.
------ Chill Out OG #2 was about 19" away from the grow light.
------ Heady OG BX1 #1 and TKO #2 were about 3" away from the grow light.
--------- Max Plant Height: ~52" [Distance From Grow Light To Top Soil]
------ Chill Out OG #2 was about 33" tall.
------ Heady OG BX1 #1 and TKO #2 was about 49" tall.
--- This will probably be the last PPFD and height check for this grow cycle.
--- Towards the back of the tent, both Heady OG and TKO have a few bud colas that are even closer to the grow light.
--- TKO also has a bud top that has stretched beyond the top of the grow light.
--- Can’t reach anything in the back quadrants so it is what it is.
--- Anyways.
--- Time to clip another bud sample for the microscope.
--- It’s been 10 days since the last check.
- [19:58]: Using a pair of trimmers, I gently clipped more bud samples from each plant.
--- All samples were clipped from the mid canopy.
--- Using a USB microscope, I carefully examined each bud sample for trichomes.
- [20:07]: First Chill Out OG #2,
--- Trichomes on the sugar leaves had some amber, but bud growth was mainly cloudy and clear.
--- On the finger rub, the trichome texture was more grainy with an earthy grape-citrus-vitamin terpene profile.
- [20:16]: As for Heady OG BX1 #1,
--- Trichome heads were looking more cloudy with some clear. Sugar leaves had some amber.
--- On the finger rub, wow the trichome texture was greasy with a gassy lemon-pine terpene profile.
- [20:22]: Last but not least, for TKO #2,
--- Trichome heads were mainly cloudy with almost no clear. Ambering on the sugar leaves, but none on the bud growth.
--- On the finger rub, trichomes were greasy with kushy/earthy fuel terpenes.

Die Pflanzen sind stark und sehnen sich nach Licht. Das Wetter ist sehr trüb. Viele Regenschauer. Die geringe Luftfeuchtigkeit versuche ich mit einem elektronischen Luftbefeuchter zu erhöhen (siehe 1 Video).

At the beginning of week 4 she started to show yellow leaf tips. My assumption was that it's caused by light stress. I then increased the lamp distance progressively to around 25 cm, PPFD 400. Since the overall growth was satisfying I am not that worried. Maybe someone can chime in with a better analysis.
Different sources say, that this strain could stretch up to 3x. I think I will flip her very soon since my tent is rather small.

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. 😋

Yo guys whats up
Check out my videos and lemme know
Im trying my best to keep up
MY girls are doing very good
Im just too busy right now with my son
He is 10 months old now and sometimes I have to leave behind the girls thank God I had built over the past months a great setup and I keep improving every time I have budget so it is very kind of you every like you give and every Comment is a blessings for us as a family you guys help us a lot to continue promoting and growing the best medicine in this world, thanks brothers happy growing and keep enjoying our diaries we will keep posting once we get the time and space for sure stay tuned
Now this
PPM 1000 lowering down to
800/600/400
Until we are done for the remaining weeks
Also we stop adding nutes for like 2 weeks now or so
We only add water every Day
Like 300ml at least to keep them hydrated
But for us is best to add one 1.5 liters then wait for them to drain and leave them like that for like 3-4 days until water in the bottom is full absorb this forces the roots to go and drink water which makes the plant grow bigger...
I know THESE are autos but you would be impress depending on the genetics of what they're capable of
The only thing that really f them up is time
They dont go back just forward so yeah
Got to be quick
Anyways how you doing guys
Happy growing thanks for everything

I decided to mainline my plants this week. I've never done HST, but I felt confident and I'm extremely happy with the results.
I also gave each plant a litre of Multifeed because I noticed some leaf necrosis and yellowing which I believe is a bit of nutrient deficiency.

April 26, 2024 Day 71
It's a new week and the start of late flower. It was also cleaning day. Both reservoirs have been cleaned out and are freshly loaded with new water.
This week we are focusing on watering and nutrients. I may start to drop the dose until flush, over this week and the next.
The light power will also be gradually dropped down over the next 2 weeks. Not much this week, I think I'll drop the DLI down to 43 mol/m²/d in the middle of the week. Next week I'll drop it down to 38 mol/m²/d. It all depends on what the plants look like.
The plants are getting ready to hunker down and finish up. Both have decent sized buds and just need to finish swelling. I'd say another 2 weeks maybe? Flushing will start at some point over the next 2 weeks as well. Flushing won't be much of a big deal as it's just cleaning the reservoirs and running a week of Flawless Finish.
The environment is changing a bit as well. I dropped the day temp down to 75° and the night temps to 65° or lower. Not cold enough to cause stress, but enough to get some purple I hope. The humidity is sitting at 47% and I'll be leaving it there unless somehow I can get it to go lower. For now it's pretty solid at 47% and everything looks great, so no need to worry.
I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One pic for each plant. No point in loading up the whole photo gallery with even more daily pics. Plus, the progression of trichomes isn't fast enough to really notice daily. So every 3 days should be fine.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.2°
RH: 47.7%
VPD: 1.49 kPa
April 27, 2024
Nothing happening today. Both ladies were inspected with no issues. I snipped a single leaf off of Banana Purple Punch B. Just one. Blocking bud sites.
Banana Purple Punch A has some massive buds. About the size of golf balls. Maybe a bit smaller. They are still swelling and have a good 2 weeks left. Pistils are still mostly white, so that's a good sign for larger buds and more trichomes.
Banana Purple Punch B is looking wonderful as ever. She doesn't seem to be suffering any issues with nutrient burn unlike her sister plant. She's perfectly healthy and has very nice bud production. The buds aren't quite as big as Banana Purple Punch A, but still nice and sizeable.
The nutrient burn seems to have stopped for Banana Purple Punch A. So that's good. It should be perfectly fine now.
Lighting is staying the same for the next couple of days. Although, I may keep it the same for the rest of the week.
The environment is excellent now. It's raining today and the humidity is still at 47%. I did get it down to 44% for most of the afternoon yesterday, so I may be able to keep it down after the rain stops. Or just wait for the afternoon and see what happens. Either way, the humidity is now at 47% and the temp is at 76.8°. The VPD is at 1.57 kPa. A tiny bit high, but still well within range. Last night's temp was a little high at 69°. I'll have to drop the temp lower again to get that 65° sweet spot.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.4°
RH: 45.7%
VPD: 1.55 kPa
April 28, 2024
Not much to do today. I mixed a new batch of nutrients for both plants. The only difference is that I cut the Overdrive in half down to 2 ml/gal. Neither plant needs it, but now it's mixed and ready to go. I may end up filling the reservoirs tonight as it stands. Or later this afternoon. I don't think they will last til tomorrow morning.
Both plants are putting off a wonderful aroma. I honestly can't describe it. Like sweet and kind of a hint of banana and a bit heady.
Trichome production is picking up quickly. The pistils are starting to turn orange as well. They are definitely in the late flowering stage.
I think I'll start dropping the nutrients for the next watering. And I'll drop the DLI down to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow I think. Not much else to say about nutrients or lighting, so moving on to the environment.
It's a warm humid day out and raining off and on. My whole environment is wonky, with humidity being at 57% and the temp at 77°. I turned the AC on about an hour ago and the temp went down to 75°, and humidity up to 60%. I think I'll crank the AC all the way down. And hopefully get rid of the humidity with the temp being a bit lower than perfect.
Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.6°
RH: 52.8%
VPD: 1.39 kPa
April 29, 2024
No watering today. I'm still waiting for the plain water work it's way through. However, I did drop the light power.
Both ladies look great. Big buds, great scent and nice color. I'm not seeing any fade yet, but the nutrient burn is still there. I hope it will fix itself with the plain water. And then maybe fading will start. These two need a good 2 weeks or so before harvest.
The lighting, as I said, was changed today. I dropped the power down to 70% to get as close as possible to 40 mol/m²/d. I may have to drop it another 10%. I'm not too sure. I'll check the DLI again when I'm more awake. (I'm finally on my second cup of coffee. Lol) Looks good though. Just around where I want it to be.
But there are a lot of spots where the DLI is a bit high at 43 mol/m²/d. The tallest tops are also kind of high at 45 mol/m²/d. Again, I'll double check on a couple hours, but it should be fine.
The environment is wonky again today. The temp is fine, but the humidity is still high at 60% and I don't see a way to drop it again. Not with the current weather. Hopefully I can get it down with some heat. The AC method did not work. Well, it maybe will work tonight. I'll be dropping that bad boy down to 59° tonight and hopefully it will do what I need it to.

Watering day. The reservoirs were both nearly empty and there was just enough space for a full gallon in each one. It's the normal nutrient dose with Overdrive being at 2 ml/gal.
These two plants are looking mighty fine. Excellent bud swelling and trichome production. I'm definitely going to be wet trimming them instead of my normal dry trim. I may leave the bods on the branches and do a partial wet trim, or I guess mostly wet trim.
They smell great! Very strong aroma now. I swear they smell like artificial grape. I can't describe it any other way. Grape and pungent. Awesome.
So far the light seems to be fine. No reaching or showing any signs of lack of lighting. They look pretty happy. Although, Banana Purple Punch A is a bit sad from nutrient burn. Banana Purple Punch B however didn't seem to have much of a problem with the burn.
The environment is still pretty wonky. High humidity again. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity is another issue. It's currently sitting at 56% and I'm holding the temp at 76°.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.5°

May 1, 2024
Not a whole lot going on today. No water needed, no light changes. I rotated both ladies 180° so now they are getting light on other sides. I'll leave them like this for the rest of the grow I think.
Banana Purple Punch A actually fits better in the new position. Less wall touching and about the same neighboring plant touching. I also removed 3 leaves. Ones that were misshapen from being crushed against the tent walls.
Banana Purple Punch B seems to fit a little better in the new position, mostly because of her sister plant. More room on the outside and a little less room inside. No leaves were removed today. I'll reserve that for the last 2 days of the grow cycle. Then I'll do a massive defoliation and then a wet trim.
It's humid here right now and I need the space. Otherwise I'd stick with dry trimming. But I can't hold up the tent for 3 more weeks. I have other plants getting ready to be planted in their final containers. Like a week for that, I might be able to squeeze a week and a half, but that's it. They will have a space, but the main tent is where they will need to be. Not a 2x2 dry tent. I'll work it how I need to I guess.
Anyway, both ladies look great! Trichome production is coming along nicely as well. They are very smelly now and I love it. They are also still packing on weight I think. Not a ton, but the buds are clearly getting denser now that some of the pistils are starting to turn orange. I'd say another 2 weeks on these two.
As I said, the lighting hasn't changed at all. Not for another few days to a week. Then it will have another power drop. Until then, we are staying at a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's roughly 38 mol/m²/d on the outer part of the canopy.
The environment is STILL wonky. I cannot for the life of me get that damned humidity down at all. Not with a dehumidifier, not with the heat cranked, not with the AC cranked. I'll try my big dehumidifier in my room, but the humidity is like 49% and frankly I'd rather the room humidity stay there. Much easier to breathe. However, the humidity in the tent is suffering at 59% while the temp is hanging out still at 76°

Temp: 75.2°

Not a lot going on today. No watering needed, no trimming, nothing.
I found a broken bud on Banana Purple Punch A. It must have been from when it was against the wall, or too close to the other plants and got stuck on a branch while I was rotating. Oh well. It's a lower bud, so not huge.
It's also the last day of the week and that means new videos!
For the rest of the grow, I'll be making weekly videos of the individual plants. So that will.be this week and the next 2 weeks or so.
Banana Purple Punch A looks great aside from that one broken bud. Her buds are fat and thick. Super dense from what I can see. I would like to note that the fade hasn't started yet, so we still have that 2 weeks left. Unless it starts in the next day or 2, I'll be banking on 2 weeks.
Banana Purple Punch B is still compact as ever, but her buds are getting fatter everyday and of all the plants in the tent, she has done the best with the nutrients. Very little burn and didn't seem to be bothered by it. Maybe I did something early on to have such a small plant, but still. I think I can bank on 2 oz from each plant. Maybe 3 oz. It's really nothing compared to previous grows, but as I said before, as long as it's fire, I'm happy.
Trichome production on both plants is fantastic. They are loaded from top to bottom. And building more and more everyday. There's still plenty of time left for there 2 as well. Most of the trichomes are clear with about 20% being cloudy and sparsely amber. That's another sign that they need another couple of weeks. Maybe slightly less.
I increased the light power yesterday back up to 80%. I think I was a bit early on the intensity drop, so I'll drop it again in a few days I think. Around mid week coming up. Now we are running a DLI of 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside.
The environment kinda fixed itself, but not to the ideal climate. It's still at 55% humidity. Better than 60%, but still not good enough. It needs to be below 50%. However, I can still control the temp and I have it at 74.5°. I'll turn it up a bit and see if I can clear out the last 5% of the humidity.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 73.7°
RH: 55.2%
VPD: 1.24 kPa
Update: I added a couple test videos to see if they would upload. Success!

It’s now time to start flower. They are looking amazing and I’m going to go ahead and throw his crocs in there. I have one tent that I have not put in flower yet just for the main fact that one of my seats became a auto flower so I’m letting them run more time to let that auto flower finish and see what that becomes

Been a very productive week for this little lass, yeah she's stunded but she looks so healthy now, thanks for the advice on the light aswell @love_2_grow has actually helped immensely, happy growing and stay green ✌️ 💚 👌
