Hello folks, been a progressive week. Girls are stretching quiet bit especially the Sativa dominant Stardawgs on the trellis net side. The other side has Blue dream and stardawg. Both look indica dominant as they are squat and bushier than the above 2. Trellis netting for that side should be up by next week. It came in post today so.... Recharge is started in the feed and girls are looking very healthy, I like the smell of it so the girls must too 😇 they get flush once per week. When the things actually start , Will be flushing them twice a week, so technically on every feed. Works out the best ALWAYS !! They are lolipopped and I will be removing any bud sites if they grow back to focus supply to upper part. Week or so more and this should look like a bed of buds 😎 Stay safe, cyall nxt week.

Week 4: I somehow managed to overwater 2 of my cuties. Having a humidifier + the fan not being properly positionend kinda lead to this. However, they are now looking stronger again and back on track.

Frostbanger Plants 1-6 Week 8 May 18– 24 FLOWER 4 Nutrients : GH Micro 25 ml GH Gro 10 ml GH Bloom 30ml CalMag 30 ml Recharge 10ml Green sensation 16.5ml Power buds 7.5 ml 5/17 PH 6.3, PPM 1130, temp 71 1ltr each 5/18 PH 6.67, PPM 935, temp 68.5 1 ltr each 5/20 PH 6.67, PPM 1330, temp 68.5 2 ltr each 5/21 PH 6.66, PPM 984, temp 69 1 ltr each videos & pics 5/17 Defoliation of yellowing leaves, feed, pics As I mentioned last week, I must monitor and control the tent environment manually. 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/mÂČ. 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” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 đŸ’«NatronađŸ’«

I'm in southern Ontario. Spring is in the air! Humidity levels have risen with rainfall, and temperatures are rising outside and inside my tent. I have been leaving my tent door open during the day and semi-closed at night. Plants in tent do not yet smell and I have my air intake/carbon filter, by VIVOSUN, turned off. During the day my small clip-on fan circulates. At night I let her rest in the cooler air and turn the fan off. May 2: Watered with a PH of 6.5, always using a bit of vinegar to PH down. Water included a pinky finger tip amount of crushed and stirred eggshells. Shells had been sitting in the water for 1.5 days. Shells did not enter the medium. Just the water they sat in.

Pure Ice cream is growing great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights, in the Athena blended line nutrition. I think she started to get light stress or burn. So I kinda adjusted her to not be right under it so close. She has a sweet creamy smell. Cokas are looking good, and frosty. Just waiting on her to bulk more.

Welcome to Week 6, Day 42 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow. All four of these lovely ladies are now fully into flower and the tent has filled up considerably. Even though this grow cycle is not going to produce the XL plants I was originally hoping for, this strain seems to have a lot of bud sites compared to other autos I have grown previously. Had these plants reached their full potential- I truly believe that this could/would have been a massive harvest. I fertilized them again in Week 6 with their final dose of a Grow based formula at 2 mls/gallon. They will be switched over a Bloom based fertilizer in Week 7 at a rate of 2.5 mls/gallon. I am still watering every 4th day and all four plants are receiving 3 litres each or 0.75 of a litre per plant per day. There is something killing off the foliage from the bottom up on the plant in the front of the tent on the left hand side. Not sure what the problem is so I am simply removing the dead/dying foliage as needed and hoping that she’ll have enough leaves to make it through to harvest. Mom’s Tip for Week #6- When it comes to Fertilizer- $Less$ = More
 For me, successfully growing Cannabis indoors means trying to mimic what nature normally provides for free. Sun, fresh air, water and nutrient rich soil are all essential for healthy, happy plants. At some point during the grow (usually 4-6 weeks in) the plant has used up all of the nutrients originally present in the soil thus requiring the grower to have to supplement with some type of fertilizer. I see many growers photographing and showing off their huge displays of colourful bottles and I gasp when I read their long lists of 10-15 different fertilizers and supplements being added to every single batch of water. Not only is this unbelievably expensive and overwhelming but time consuming and completely unnecessary for a successful grow. For those seeking an Organic path there are options such as homemade compost tea or powdered formulas consisting of bat guano, glacial rock dust, bone meal, alfalfa meal, etc. I often use a Canadian made brand called “Gaia Green Organics", mixed in at the start to create my own super soil thus carrying the plants through their first 4-6 weeks of life needing nothing more than PH’d water. The organic fertilizers are usually more expensive and often have a slower uptake by the plants themselves as they tend to feed the soil first which in turn feeds the plants. For novice/newbie growers and those with fast flowering strains such as Autos- a non organic, liquid, water soluble fertilizer is often the way to go. They are generally cheap, easy to use and quickly taken up by the plants when they need it most. My ride or die brand is "Flora Nova” by General Hydroponics and it comes in a 1 part nutrient grow and bloom formula catering to my plants’ needs from start to finish. This company has many options available including all kinds of additional supplements to be used in conjunction with their standard grow/bloom formulas but I’ve never found these products all that necessary or beneficial. Using them in the past has led to over fertilization resulting in burnt foliage, stunted bud development and harsh flavours when smoking/vaping the final product. Not only does $Less is More$ apply to how many fertilizers you are giving your plants but it also applies to how much. Most photosensitive strains can easily tolerate a full dose (as per the manufacturer’s recommendations) and thrive with being fed every time you water. But Autoflowers and some smaller photosensitive strains seem to respond differently to a slight tweak- keeping in mind that if you start small, you can always add more but if you start big, you can’t take back what’s already been given. I will generally only fertilize at half of what the manufacturer recommends for a photosensitive strain- every other or every second watering. Starting out at a quarter dose for the initial feeding which can sometimes be as low as 1.25 mls per gallon and working my way up from there. It doesn’t seem like much but within hours I can see my plants responding positively with increased/sustained turgor, greening up a little and increased resin production which equals "smell/scent". For me, I can smell when I’ve just fertilized my plants- it’s a stronger smell than the normal scent that they give off with a plain watering. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up growing a greedy Autoflowering strain that seems to want more than what you’re giving it. Rather than increasing to a higher dose in a single feeding, try feeding more often at the same dose- so if you’re feeding every other or every second watering, try feeding every watering at the same dose (trying not to increase above half of the manufacturer’s recommendation for the photo strains). Occasionally I will increase beyond the halfway dose to accommodate for the plants’ needs in late flower as most fertilizer companies list an increase to adequately feed during late flower anyhow. I guess the main message for this week is to keep it simple as nature intended. Learn to read your plants and supplement the small amount of nutrients that your plants don’t already have in the high quality soil you initially provided. Cannabis cultivation can be overwhelming at first but the $Less is More$ approach will save you time, money and the realization that you’ve accidentally fried your plants!

ENGLISH BELOW ESP: Estas dos mangos fueron preciosas de cultivar. Cogieron un tono azulado y algunos pĂ©talos se volvieron de un color rosa muy fuerte. No fue difĂ­cil de cultivar aunque la empezara en octubre, tuvo la visita de algunas orugas pero no causaron casi ningĂșn daño. -EmpecĂ© el cultivo en octubre, esto y la falta de luz hizo que mis plantas no llegaran a la altura deseada, no tuvieron todo el sol que necesitaban y se espigaron. Les hice un corte FIM a una planta y apical a la otra, lo cual hizo que las puntas desarrollaran una forma curiosa. - El producto final son 23,3 gramos de cogollos no demasiado prietos pero muy resinosos y con unos colores preciosos. - El sabor es algo difĂ­cil de definir. En el sabor no he encontrado el coco, pero sĂ­ las frutas tropicales, mango y cĂ­trico. Y me parece haber saboreado algo de hierbas. Es un sabor agradable aunque solo lo haya curado durante tres semanas. -El colocĂłn es indico, pero empieza como algo cerebral y se va extendiendo por el cuerpo pero sin dejarte k.o. A mĂ­ me ha convencido, he disfrutado cultivĂĄndola, la recomiendo a quien estĂ© pensando en probarla These mangos are amazingly gorgeous. They took a bluish tone and some petals turned a very strong pink color. It was not difficult to grow considering that I planted it a little late, I only had the visit of some caterpillars. There are some pics of one of them. -I started cultivation in October, this and the lack of light caused my plants not to reach the desired height, they did not have all the sun they needed and they sprouted. I made a FIM cut to one plant and apical to the other, which caused the tips to develop a curious shape. - The final product is 23.3 grams of buds not too tight but very resinous and with beautiful colors. - The taste is something difficult to define. In the flavor I have not found the coconut, but the tropical fruits, mango and citrus. And i think i tasted something herbal. It's a nice taste even if I only cured it for three weeks. -The high is indicated, but starts as something cerebral and is extending through the body but without leaving k.o. It has convinced me, I have enjoyed cultivating it, I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of trying it00

Week 4 ---------------------- đŸ‡ș🇾 Skywalker OG is doing really well. The roots are nicely developed and densely grown. The plants are giving off a pleasant aroma and are responding well to LST. Topping also worked out great. Growth has slowed down a bit, probably because the plants are now learning that nutrients first need to be processed by the soil life. Nutrients are applied following the Bio Tabs schedule. 4 Teaspoons : Startrex 3 Teaspoons : Mycrotrex 2 Bio Tabs fertilizer Pallets 1l Water ---------------------------- 1g Bactrex 5ml Orgatrex Week 4 ---------------------- đŸ‡©đŸ‡Ș Skywalker OG macht sich sehr gut. Die Wurzeln sind schön entwickelt und gut durchwachsen. Die Pflanzen verströmen einen angenehmen Geruch und vertragen das LST ziemlich gut. Auch das Topping hat gut funktioniert. Das Wachstum ist etwas verlangsamt, vermutlich weil die Pflanzen nun lernen mĂŒssen, dass die NĂ€hrstoffe erst durch das Bodenleben umgewandelt werden mĂŒssen. GedĂŒngt wird nach dem Schema von Bio Tabs. 4 Teelöfel : Startrex 3 Teelöfel : Mycrotrex 2 Bio Tabs DĂŒnger Tabletten 1l Wasser ---------------------------- 1g Bactrex 5ml Orgatrex Bio Tabs Website --------------------------- https://biotabs.nl/en/

I had to get a bigger tent as these girls were pushing themselves out of my other tent. I also added another COB to the tent at the same time. The plants are doing well and are liking their new home it seems. I need to defoliate the biggest one though, too many leaves covering bud sites. Might do that after work tonight as well as water. Back ina week.

Day 99. Girls are superb, as always too thin, too lanky, but in reality its million of buds and i am more than happy ! ;)) Last feed in the middle of week without any BioGrow. Then only water. In plans 24-25 of May is chop day, thinking to defoliate more a week before chop. Day 103. Girls are pumping and fading, some are fading ;))))) All 4 Runtz most green, but Mini and Frosty looks like almost ready, they are a week upfront with others. Monster Blue Dream eats herself like no-one else, she is fading fast, loads of nuggy, frosty buds, but i will push all to the same day, some trees will be for day smoke, some for crash out evenings ;))) Day 105. Girls got last light feed , we are on final stretch ! Happy Growing !

9 plants, 5 different strains, 3 different seed banks. So yeah, some background info.. I was going to go 6 girls in 15l pots at first for even distribution but fucked up the germination process sticking them seeds eagerly straight to soil and some didn't germinate and some took almost two weeks to push above soil so I popped a few more and here we are. Oldest ones are about 6-7weeks old and the rest are around 3-4weeks.. not sure about exact days since I wasn't planning on running a diary but then again figured it could be helpful IF(when) running into problems. Been mainlining/topping/defoliating/binding when necessary to keep them at pretty much the same height before flipping the switch. First photos shown here are from the last session of high stress training.. now we're just playing the waiting game for them to recover and then it's off to flowering time baby! This week is the first time dem bitches have been getting the full recommended dosage of Bio-Bizz nutrients I still have available (bought the "try-pack" for best bang for buck.) Gonna run out of root-juice and bio-heaven after next watering but think that's ay-ok since we're going to flowering anyways and in the last grows haven't really seen any notable difference using the insanely expensive bio-heaven. Fucked up topping few plants taking "wrong" nodes being way too drunk but we'll see how it goes. Also start of this week is the first day I hanged Viparspectra V900 to accompany Mars Hydro TSW-2000 which has done an amazing job so far!😍😍 Using only the blue grow spectrum on the V900 for the recovery since I know from experience the bloom mode runs hot as fuck and I still need to figure out how to improve the airflow in the cabin without ruining good nights sleep. Day 3: After last trimming session Girls are recovering quite nicely. Watered today and just like I suspected ran out of root-juice and bio-heaven, the runtier Sunset Sherbet didn't get to taste any of that sweet sweet nectar:( Everyone took about the same amount of water (2l) with pretty much no runoff so boy were they thirsty. SS runt was having a little bit of trouble drinking since the soil was way too dry and had become a bit hydrophobic but with patience took it all like a champ. Had to remove some of the bindings to avoid snapping the stems but looks like they're still at pretty even height. OG Kush has a trunk thicker than my thumb already although she's less than 20cm high! Ditched the tower fan from taking up too much space and replaced it with Garden Highpro oscillating clip-fan which is like a frigging hurricane even at lvl1! Lets see how it affects the temps which are quite high after adding the Viparspectra: topping at almost 30c during the last hours of day and I'm not even using the red blooming leds yet!😐 Still giving them the full 4ml/l of bio-grow every feeding but I'm thinking about cutting it back a bit since ran out of the snakeoils and not sure yet does that affect the uptake in a bad manner. Been also foliar feeding them w/ bio-grow every second day with 1-1.25ml/l to keep the humidity at around 60-70% all times and they seem to like it, leaves are nice dark green colored. Realized just how tightly packed the tent will be so I'm going to put them into flowering as soon as they have at least 2-3 healthy nodes per branch so guessing at around start of the next week. Probably going to defoliate most of the leaf mass day before flipping the switch.. might even get excited enough to try schwazzing 1-2 plants since I've never tried that technique before and I really need to promote some airflow. Day 4: Well that lasted long.. The fan cut its lead wires loose while oscillating because the cable clamps were set too tight straight out of the package, not giving it enough slack to turn full cycle.. Goddamn it.. Seems like an easy fix but got no time to start tinkering before going to work so I'll get it replaced by tomorrow and hope I wont get a dud made on mondays. Cranked up the inline duct fan a bit to compensate the loss of airflow and temps are staying in the 28C range but there's definitely some hotspots forming.. hopefully that leads to nothing too serious.

Day 57 from seed the plant has been recovering very well from supercrop I supercrop two more branches because they were running into the light getting burn not only the leaves but the buds as well therefore no choice more HST but the plant is reacting well to the high training I also put some painters tape around the branches that I supercrop in order to allow them some support and allow some nutrients to continue to flow through the branch this situation is probably my fault because I choose 7 gallons pots I have never used such a big pot and the plans are definitely having lots of stretch room to grow looking forward to see this girl finishing and hoping she will be a monster. I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Why u do dis 2 meesa Dimi??? 10/21 5am 500mg Phe. & Proline spray in 1L, then an .25pb 10/21 238PM I asked Grok about EC readings. "Good question, CalGonJim! When using an EC meter, you don’t typically subtract the baseline EC of your water from the final reading—here’s why and how to handle it properly, tailored to your grow with **Blueberry KO** and **DDA** at 02:36 PM PDT on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. ### EC Measurement Basics - **EC Definition**: Electrical Conductivity measures the nutrient concentration in your solution, expressed in mS/cm or ”S/cm. It reflects all dissolved salts, including those from water and additives. - **Baseline Water EC**: Tap or RO water has its own EC (e.g., 0.2–0.5 mS/cm for tap, 20% means flush with pH 6 water. 4. **Adjust**: If EC exceeds 1.4 mS/cm (**BKO**) or 1.8 mS/cm (**DDA**), dilute with water or flush to avoid burn. ### Your Context - **Current Mix**: 500 mg/L proline + 500 mg/L phenylalanine adds ~0.6–0.8 mS/cm. With your base (1.5 mL/L Grow A&B + 0.25 mL/L each additive), expect 1.6–1.8 mS/cm total. If your water’s 0.3 mS/cm, it’s still 1.6–1.8 mS/cm—don’t subtract. - **Action**: Test your 1-liter mix now, apply, and check runoff tomorrow. If **BKO** shows stress, drop to 300 mg/L each. No subtraction needed—just roll with the total EC and keep an eye on your plants. How’s that surprise **BKO** sprout doing with your latest drench?"" 10/22 502AM I SAW A CAT!!!!!
