Last two plants are flushing now. My stunted mango smile yielded about 36 g which I made about 7g of rosin from and kept a few nugs. My first sour crinkle yielded about 55g. They seem like they will yield much more. Seems like if you want smaller faster plants use airpots or bigger plants w a longer lifecycle do fabric pots.

🌿 Super Silver Haze – Harvest Report (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Lights: Future of Grow Black Series 600W | ThinkGrow ICL-300 | Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X Ecosystem Medium: Custom Super Soil Mix with Aptus Holland Amendments Environment: 8x8 Shared Tent | Day Temp 29.6°C | RH 67% | CO₂ 700 ppm ✨ From Seed to Soul – A Legendary Journey What a ride this one was. From the first spark of life in the Cannakan to the final aromatic breath from the Groove Bags, this Super Silver Haze journey was everything—a perfect reflection of the plant herself: bright, strong, unpredictable, and utterly timeless. Three seeds were germinated — all three came out strong, though one was shy. From there, two phenos took the lead, both with stunning vigor, hybrid leaves, and perfectly compact growth. Throughout veg and flower, they mirrored each other so closely it felt like growing twins. There were highs — lush foliage, incredible root growth, and perfect structure — and there were lows — a bout of bud rot, handled quickly and carefully. But like in life, every setback was a lesson. The environment taught us, the plants guided us, and we adapted. 💧 Feeding & Soil The foundation of this run was a custom super soil charged with Aptus Holland amendments — Mycor-Mix, Micro-Mix, and Substrate Buffer Powder. Throughout veg and early flower, the girls enjoyed a balanced routine of: Aptus Regulator – For strength & stress control Aptus CalMag Boost – Supporting cell structure Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – Enhancing bloom, resin & sweetness Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Top Booster – Brought in at key stages for balance and final push By the final weeks, we tapered down to pure water — a gentle flush that allowed the plant to use her own reserves. This stage is vital; it purifies the flavor, softens the smoke, and reveals the true essence of the strain. 🌬️ The Harvest The girls were harvested whole and dried for about 14 days at 60°F (15.5°C) and 60% RH, the perfect “60/60” for slow, even drying. Branches were ready when they snapped cleanly — a satisfying sound of readiness. Trimming was done entirely by hand on a Trim Bin, using Zamnesia curved blade scissors — slow, patient, and meditative. Frost everywhere. The gloves were covered in resin, leaving behind sticky charas that smelled like pure nostalgia. Yields: 🌿 Pheno #1: 153.15 g of dry, dense, frosted flowers 🌿 Pheno #2: 126 g of equally beautiful, slightly sweeter buds 🍋 Aroma, Flavor & Smoke Open a Groove Bag and you’re met with a wave — sweet citrus, ripe fruit, and that unmistakable Haze spice. Both phenos share the same terpene fingerprint, but #1 carries a deeper, earthier tone while #2 shines with fruity brightness. The smoke itself is smooth, creamy, and elegant — full-bodied yet gentle. Inhale: Fruity citrus sweetness Exhale: Earthy, classic Haze with a spicy afterglow It’s like smoking sunshine filtered through memory. 🌀 Curing – Glass & Groove Bags Curing took place in Groove Bags and glass jars — both excellent, but different in spirit. Glass jars (Pheno #2): require daily “burping,” opening to let moisture escape. Groove Bags (Pheno #1): a modern evolution — engineered with breathable film that automatically balances RH. No burping, no fuss, just perfection. The result? Two styles of cure, both producing world-class aroma and velvet texture. ⚙️ Gear That Shaped the Legend Zamnesia Seeds – For the timeless Super Silver Haze genetics Aptus Holland – For balanced, bioavailable nutrition Plagron – For the bloom magic and resin push Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, Lumatek – For perfect full-spectrum lighting TrolMaster Hydro-X System – The digital brain of the grow Grove Bags – For preserving freshness and flavor Each piece of gear played a part in writing this chapter. 🌈 Reflections & Gratitude This run was a story of resilience — of learning, adapting, and never losing faith. Bud rot appeared, but so did strength. Mistakes came, but so did lessons. And in the end, she rewarded us with medicine so beautiful it transcends the difficulties. To everyone following the journey — the growers, lovers, haters, dreamers, sponsors, and the Zamnesia family — thank you. This wouldn’t be possible without you.

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/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” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Last week I was very concerned that she went into too soon. But she has performed astonishingly This past week! She grew tall and started branching out. She is getting real hungry but will stick to her compost tea for now

The two surviving Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants develop well after they were planted in soil. The first pot is very small (0,25 l) and only a little watering is necessary now. As you can see in the pics the roots grow VERY WELL with the Voodoo Juice from Advanced Nutrients.

Temperature seems to start getting better, next couple of days we will move the plant to the roof again, gave only water

This strain is very heterozygous. 4 seeds were started. The 4 phenos were very different. I saved 2 of those phenos for my arsenal, which is quite exceptionnal. I ususally save just one pheno from a strain. The Pheno #1 was mainly sativa (75%). Long branches. Lots of fluffy buds. The more resistant to mold, but it has to be with the fluffiness. The taste was cheesy and spicy, which has nothing to see with the 3 other phenos. Not a single ressemblance with ak-47 parents as well. It shares the musky undertones of the strain, but nothing else. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. Terpene profile was deceiving, just as the cannabinoid content. The Pheno #2 has more indica in it (45% indica). robust and tall plant with dense heavy buds. No mold resistance at all. Biggest producer. The taste was earthy and musky with hints of wood. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. The Pheno #3 is my favorite one. It reminded me of the good old Ak-47, with her flowery/sweet/skunky smell and taste. Pure nostalgia! Tall and quite robust plant with huge fluffy buds coated with trichomes. She grows pretty similar to Lemon Skunk if you know the reference. Great producer of top quality buds. So sticky! In my top 3 sativa for 2 years. The aroma is very close to the old school Ak-47: sweet, flowery and skunky. It tastes like sweet lemon on the inhale, with a sharp touch of spicy lavender and earth on the exhale. IMO, that is the pheno we want to save from that heterozygous strain. Backcrossing this one would be a very good idea. The Pheno #4 is just as interesting as my favorite #3. The only issue with this one is about mold resistance. Crazy compact and heavy budst! One of the most productive I’ve ever seen too. More traits of the Ak-47 in the aromatic profile, but nothing like the #3. On the structure side, we can immediately recognize the sturdy and bushy structure of Ak-47. THC content is very high too. I suspect the CBD content to be high as well. The effect is a mood elevation, with good focus and a deep body relaxation; a bit similar to what White widow does. The aroma is earthy and pungent. Very skunky and musky. It tastes very sweet and earthy on the inhale, with hints of skunk on the exhale. That pheno #4 expresses the best traits of the Ak-47 in its structure, while pheno #3 kept the aromatic profile.

This week has been amazing. I did some defoliation since last week but you can hardly tell. She has been taking the 3.0 EC real well I thought I definitely had hermed it but damn if she isn’t resilient. I e noticed she drinks 6gal rn I feel that’s gonna ramp up these last coming weeks. This Autopot system has really changed everything I don’t got to worry about any timers or anything just check my ph and that’s it. Drip hydro was kind enough to let us test out the nutrients so shout out to them. See you all guys next week.

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom. So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there. I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far. ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent! Watered again on 27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC 29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC
