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!

7/7 17 days old. Calling this her first week of veg. She did not appear to be growing much for a few days after being transplanted. However in the last couple of days she has been putting on height. Now that she is growing again it seemed like a good time to top her. Topped her at the fifth node. A few of my previous grows I topped at the single leaves. This gave me two main branches that I just tied down. Then let all the branches grow up. Gave me a very uniform plant. 7/9 She has a very healthy dark green color. Her branches almost immediately started growing after being topped. I can see the difference in 2 days. Her nodes are very close together. 7/10. This lady has huge tits/leaves. Her leaves are so big they’re blocking out the light for the branches. I used some coat hanger to pull the leaves out of the way. Really her leaves are huge for her age. They’re almost the size of my hands and I’m 6,3. I pulled 1 leaf off to help open her up some. I will do some reading on this strain. I believe as she gets older she will look more sativa. Right now she looks heavy indica. 7/11 She broke ground 21 days ago. She graduated into veg 4 days ago. This plant is growing very nicely. 7/14 25 days old. Gave her water with liquid kelp. Her branches are quickly growing to the top. Would love to do some defoliation but I’m not. Other than a few 3 blade leaves in the center. Absolutely love her dark green color. So far the living soil is doing a great job. The company says just water. We will see. Ethos Genetics is top shelf. My friend grows mostly Ethos and these plants are just amazing. I was hunting for old school so I didn’t grow any Ethos until now. Old school is gone. I have never saw buds like these Ethos. This plant needs to come out close to or better than my friends. She is growing in organic living soil and her color is great. The only thing I added was myco supreme on her roots. The next time I water her she will get some liquid kelp and humic acid. The plant is relying on the living soil to eat. So I want to make sure her root system is very healthy and able to process nutrients.

Week 7 - -Overdrive added -Nugs are weighing the branches down even more - using support from sidewalls of tent -Trichombs are about 20-30% cloudy right now - some browning -Some slight nitro deficiency which was fixed by adding nutes -500ish PPM -5.6-6.2 PH -Warm+Cold days in bay area. Tent is 75-88F. Out door temps are 55-75F -Nugs are huge and almost the size of baseballs. Use a 1 GALLON bottle which seems small vs. nugs

Strain: Fast Buds Mixed Auto Grow Type: Outdoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Coco Coir & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Harvest Update This Mixed Auto exceeded my expectations super frosty and dense, especially for an outdoor grow. After a full dry and cure, the buds turned out beautifully. The smell is rich, and the trichome coverage is impressive. The smoke was flavorful and smooth, making it a very satisfying experience overall. I didn’t get a chance to take much footage, but for an outdoor run, she really delivered easily one of the highlights of this grow. Drying Climate Conditions Temperature: 20–22°C Humidity: 50–55% Until the next one stay lifted, and remember to use my code ISLANDT for 15% off your next order at Fast Buds!

Hey friends, end of week 13 from seed. A big incident happened this week, I had 3 clones growing in the same tent. I had placed them on some cardboard boxes so they could be closer to the light. Woke up one morning and saw all 3 plants on the floor, pots fell on plant #1 and destroyed 2 stems on the bottom, they had some small buds formed already. I chopped the 2 stems and hanged them up for drying, I left all the leaves on, did no trimming. After 3 days, buds were dry, smelled like plant and bud combined, not too pleasant. I couldn't resist to try it out, so I crushed some on my vape. It kicked in as a sativa, eyes got weak, head high, it slowly starts to give you a appetite and after 40 mins, you want to sleep, overall it felt like a sativa - Hybrid. The taste at the beginning was not very pleasant I guess because these buds were not ready for harvest yet and I did not flush them. Will need to do more research on harvesting / drying and curing. 1- how dry to should the buds be before curing? 2- is it better to trim leaves before or after drying for a better taste? Noticed some amber on trichomes Will begin to flush in week 14 Smell is stronger Leaves are slowly fading to a different color Will keep you guys posted!

Flores e mais flores! Inicio da flora indo bem! Vamos ver o que ela tem para essa semana! Ate mais ver!

10-1 Day 2 week 3 of flower. The roof was on fire, ppm 9k, fire dept came, put it out, ppm 1750. Still a amber burning, maybe it will settle! Ph 7.2 Doesn't seem too mad atm! Ouch . Looked up my water report all I could find was mag ppm7 out of tap. Nothing about cal. It makes complete sense, I have an issue with cal/mag every time. Still figuring it out. I would have never figured this out. Ty amazing people!! 10-5 Water .2 mg epson per liter. Cal/mag, yucca Fingers crossed. 🤞 So maybe I have soft water and need to add. Gonna just use dolomite lime next grow and for now on I guess. 10-6 1/4 cup poo, 3 tbs buildaflower, scoop connect. .

La ultima nena. Bajamos la temperatura para poder maximizar su color morado. Lamentablemente de la niña que mas esperábamos fue la que quedo mas pequeña y la que posiblemente de menos, pero como experiencia no esta mal, después de todo, automáticas con lo frio de este clima es algo 😥. De todas maneras, sus frutos se ven bastante firmes y resinosos asi que al menos en potencia, no tendremos nada que envidiar cuando cosechemos :)

some defoliation this week.buds continue to fill throughout this week. slight increase in flowering and growth feeds. good week everyone 🙏💚🌱

one more week up we go, and after intruducing the AC to the Girls, and rase some of them up closer to the ligth ( i did this because the most of my SG are 3 phingers from the ligth lol, so bringing the ligth down was not an option )now i realize that the BB and the AP are showing some spots on the older leaves with i think it migth be nutrients problem, so i'm intruducing Calmag Agent and see how they react. Appart from that they all look amazing, the smell is starting to show off in all of them, it's like a rainbow of fruity smels with a sweet taste going from one strein to another, so far the one i think is the winer in tha smel factor is the PG, man, she's becoming and amazing white frosty smly litle plant <3 the same is happening to all of her siters in my litle love garden. So let's see how the wee goes, i'l try and keep it updated the most i can, Stay safe Peace out D So day 31 F and i intruduce Calmag and lower EC to 1.8 , now let's seeee :)

I dont got much time rn, so im gonna update the fertilizer stuff later

Very nice Plant, had problems while growing, but it was my mistake. Drying was no problem, great taste and smell.

I started this grow in previously used coco, where you can see remnants of the plants. During a grow cycle

🙌💥🙌💥🙌💥🙌💥 I topped the biggest one yesterday to maintain an evenish canopy lol Massive the 2 cookies now I been taking off any leaves at the bottom not getting any light We flipping to 12,12 soon 🔥🔥🔥
