Hi growers! Harvest time is finally here and with it the end of my very first diary on GrowDiaries. I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this platform so much and I’m really glad I joined the community. Thank you all for stopping by, for the support, and for every comment. I have a lot of strains on my radar and I’m looking forward to sharing my next growing experiences with you! Peace and happy growing ✌️

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

Going into the last week of feeding and the girls are looking great! A couple of the plants have a little nute burn on some of the leaves from being pushed a little too hard. Other than that everything else is looking green and healthy. The girls are stinking up the place with an earthy, floral, funky, gorilla glue smell. Almost ready to start their 2 week flush. Cheers everyone!

Hello fellow growers, I harvested my plant on Day 68 of the flowering stage. The buds are now hung up and drying in an environment with a relative humidity (RH) of 55-60% and temperatures ranging from 18°C to 21°C, I've set up two fans to keep the air moving gently around the drying space. Today marks Day 6 of drying, and I'm aiming for a nice, slow dry to preserve the quality of the buds, followed by a dry trim. Reflecting on this grow, I can see areas where I could have improved, but considering it's my first time, I believe I've done a commendable job. There are quite a few larfy buds underneath, but the top buds, which were closest to the light, turned out great. I initially thought I had nailed the training techniques, but as soon as I flipped her into the flowering stage, she got out of control. This experience has taught me the importance of being even more disciplined with my training methods in future grows. Overall, I'm thrilled with the outcome and have learned valuable lessons for my next run. Can't wait to see how these buds turn out after curing! Wish me luck as I move into the final stages of this journey. Let's Grow!

Ok, finally gave the chop on week 14, day 2. She was banished in the darkness for 36 hours and stopped watering 2 days ago. Did some wet trim, up until the smaller sugar leaves, which I have left for some refining and final polishing dry trim, before curing. Will update on smoke report and flavour. Ok, so final weight after drying is 50g of top shelf bud, and about 50g more of popcorn buds and trim I shall use later on for a dry ice shake.

this week I made the decision to transplant both plants .. the 20 liter pot was already too small .. and it was bad for development and growth .. two-headed SATORI :-) transplanted into a 50-liter basket for dirty clothes))) I had to buy it because everything is closed !! I could not find a 50 liter pot for plants due to restrictions on Covid-19 .. for this reason this basket became an alternative .. which seemed to me not a bad replacement for AirPot .. it is 35-40% transparent through .. and the air will flow better to roots .. after transplantation, she began to grow oochen rapidly)) I transplanted the fat SATORI into a smartpot 15 gallons .. a little depressed after the transplant, but I think everything will be fine)) the gender has not yet been shown, but as you can see in some of the photos, the hope is that both of them are girls all growing and growing .. and not a little important factor .. already 4 days as a regime 12-12 .. I want to make sure that they are girls and wait until they show the sex by 100% then with a new transfer to the growing season ..

Finally got the time to sit down to do some maintenance and training on this girl🙌 It was a wet and rainy Sunday on 7/25 so we pushed back our Farmers Market a day and I got to get soaked in the garden😅 Cleaned up the interior, removing discolored fan leaves that weren't getting enough light and small branches growing inward that wouldn't amount to much. Then I did some LST with 4' Bamboo stakes and PGarden EZ Soft Plant Ties. I staked 4 main branches to open up the interior for better light penetration and air circulation👍 When it was all said and done I brought the trim back down to the barn as a treat for my horse Kestrel, he loves snacking on trim leaves! I also switched the the Neptune's Harvest Rose and Flowering as we're approaching flowering time and also gave them some good old fashioned Crosby's Molasses to get those sugars going!

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

For my first photo period run this seems to be going well but looks like she will be in flower a bit longer than expected as she had a very slow 3rd week

Special thanks to @DreamIT for showing me how to add music and animation to video. Check out my fountain video above for a short clip. Thanks to @UnorthadoxDude for influencing me ( by visual curiosity) maybe twisted an arm to buy some carnivors. Well I happened to find some at our annual master gardener plant sale. I will be putting some in the tent. Lots of growth in my carnivores. Flowers on Sundew.

Overview of my grow: Tent: Secret Jardin DS120 4 x 4 (120 cm by 120 cm) Lights: 2 x 120 Watt CTlite c4 clusterled Climat: Trotec Dehumidifyer 240 watt- 10L/24h Filter: Prima Klima carbon filter PK2600 fan: 2 x Secret Jardin 20watt osc. fan Pots: Gronest 4 x 11 liter airpots Water : automated water system PH: bluelab Nutrients: Plagron cocos A + B Plagron PK 13/14 ATA cal/mag Epsom salt Week 6 She stretched another 8 cm but i did also some LST so i think it was a little bit more. I think most of the stretch is done for her now. I started this week with a PK boost, so EC is up to 1.4 . i do the PK for one week. You can see some nice pistels and she is stacking up nicely. it is a very easy plant so far. Thanks for watching and feel free to leave a comment 😋
