Week 7 flower update I figured out what was going on with my plants. My tap water actually contains a lot of carbonates, which means there’s already plenty of calcium and magnesium in it. Because of that, I shouldn’t have been adding 0.5 ml of Plagron CalMag, since that product is really intended for soft water. The extra calcium started pushing the root zone pH locally up to around 6.5. That made nitrogen more available, but at the same time it partially locked out phosphorus. Because of that the flower development slowed down, while cell elongation increased before proper bud growth resumed. As soon as I realized what was happening, I started dropping the PPM pretty aggressively, step by step, and completely removed CalMag from the feed. While the plants were recovering from the salt stress, I also cleaned up the lower weak branches (about 10% max) to help redistribute energy to the stronger tops. Right now I’m focusing on stabilizing the root zone. Current numbers: Input: pH 5.5 / 575–600 ppm Runoff: pH 6.38 / 730–760 ppm Plants are slowly coming out of the stress. They’re drinking 3 times a day, about 15 liters total (7.5 L per plant). The flowers have started growing again, after being stalled for about 3–4 days. Because of the pH imbalance (too much nitrogen and calcium) the plants started stretching like crazy. The branches were growing so fast they were already hitting the lights and the top of the tent. My tent is 180 cm tall and the pots are about 30 cm, so I basically ran out of vertical space. I had to bend the branches almost 90 degrees, laying them over each other just to keep the canopy under control. Some of them are literally tucked under the carbon filter, and the rest are tied down with wire to keep them away from the lamps. Not the prettiest canopy right now, but it keeps everything below the lights and still getting good exposure.

I lost a ton of leaves on the NL after a cal mag deficiency that I wasn’t able to correct. But it’s still budding. The ICE is thickening up slowly but surely.

overfed with K so they are looking a little rough, so I will not be feeding them anything but water for the next week at least, see how they recover.

Gave each medium around 15L water flushing, Will continue to give only water for the next 14 days or so. Flush began 30tht August.

Hello folks ! Back from holidays, the plant keeper did not so bad ! Following recommendations from a piece of paper and readjusted after sending pictures. All the plants on the drain tables had recovered well from over feeding. Only 2 plants didn’t recovered, coming from another seeds bank and growing in pots with cups. White Label genetics are suitable for new growers and will forgive wrong moves like Nutrients excess as you can see 😉 Week 2 of flowering, some plants suffered from over feeding around week 6-7 of Veg. But everything should be fine now. Flowers start to show. I had to trim the legs and small shoots not reaching canopy to avoid any waste of energy for the plants. Canopy is dense and thick, I feel like playing at Jumanji sometimes 😅😂 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Decent yield , tastes amazing even before curing. Got 189.5 grams of flower and 35.5 grams of shake.

Not long now on the two thunderfucks, I think I’ll chop them one day next week and let the gorilla cookies go for another week or two. It’s been a hot week so have struggled to keep the temp down and humidity, almost back to normal weather!! One of the thunderfucks has really dense buds and the other is light and fluffy, not sure if it’s the heat that’s got to it or just the genetics.

Again still not as healthy as I would like, but as a thrown together week-to,-week mess around project I think it's ok :).

The Case of the Overdosing Indica: Act II - Week 8, The Heat is On (and the Flowers Are MIA) Brandenburg's sunshine streak is back, relentless as a crooked cop on the make. Auto Overdose, bless her green heart, seems to be taking it all in stride. Though the growth's slowed to a crawl – just a measly 4cm this week. Not exactly setting any world records. And here's the kicker, folks. Still no sign of those flowers we were promised. Starting to think this "auto" label is about as reliable as a dame with a gambling habit. Maybe this dame's playing a long game, one that don't involve the fireworks I was promised. Had to give her a little tough love this week. Took out some of the deadwood – leaves yellowing at the edges, smaller branches reaching for sunshine they ain't gonna get. Gotta focus on the main event, right? This dame's starting to sweat under the pressure, and so am I. Stay tuned, folks, the plot's getting thicker than a bowl of undercooked porridge in a cheap diner.

For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. AC Infinity does not extend the warranty to the replacement parts. I guess that makes sense since they would be in a state of perpetual free replacements. I bought a new one from Amazon that came with a new controller which is different from the controller 69 currently using. I decided that while it is very inconvenient and inefficient to monitor the tent through the day, I would rather finish this Frostbanger run without introducing a new unknown variable. I will continue using 3 circulating fans, 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.

Smells amazing, buds are greesy to the touch…serious genetics from fast buds!

Still hot af in germany but we’re only watering her any 3-4 days. Over night she stands in the greenhouse, if there is a chance of rain we also put her inside the greenhouse.

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Time for flower. Cleaned my flowering tent & equipment & transferred the girls from veg tent. Developed really nice structure on these plants. Use the promo code GROWEED for a 15% discount on any Fast Buds purchase!

Nutes at 1/2 strength..picked some supplements to aid in taste/flowering so excited to see how she finishes! 😋😋

End of week 6 and things are really ramping up now! First couple pics on this week where taken 4 days after the middle of week 5 pics on the previous week and there is a huge difference and I also got in just before the HPS came on to snap these pics and video so you can see them much better then under my HPS pics taken on day 40 into flowering also in this weeks diary. These girls are not messing around, giant buds everywhere and no signs of them slowing down anytime soon...lol we might be looking at more then 8-9 weeks of flowering I’m thinking at this point. Still got 1 ugly plant eating her leaves but I’m thinking now it’s just my lower nutrient doses making this happen. It’s a really slow progression so far, but I’m loosing a lot of guard leaves up top on the one, but she is still got the biggest buds....hmmmm just gonna let her go and see what happens. So far so good! Lol Cheers 💨
