I started using Botanicare Hydroguard to take care of the roots and it works great. Got them back healthy. The light leaks to the reservoir have hopefully been resolved as well. The smell coming from the box isn't too strong and will catch you off guard here and there, but not too noticeable. You can also get a good look at the trichomes forming on the buds and leaves.

Topped this plant and LST also. Still at ph 6.5 of rain water and spring water, however the leaves are crumbling and turning brown, I’ve move the light up more so it’s about 45cm away now. I’ve gel it a ml of baby bio and tomato plant feed per gallon of water, I’m unsure if this is to little nutrients for but I’d rather under feed than over feed. Please feel free to leave any advise; this is my first time growing so I need all the help I can get☺️💗

Coming soon

Day 56 update, and man, the summer heatwave is officially pushing us to the limit! Inside the greenhouse, it’s getting incredibly hot, but the Gorilla Melon is handling it like an absolute champ. No real signs of heat stress yet, though you can tell she is working hard. Honestly, the AutoPot system is the real MVP this week; with these soaring temperatures, the constant water supply from below keeps her perfectly hydrated without any scary dry spells. To keep the canopy nice and even, I went ahead and did some more topping on the taller shoots to balance out the height before she gets any bigger. On the pest front, we had a little drama: the ChrysoCards unfortunately baked in the intense heat and didn't survive. Lesson learned! To fix this, I released a fresh batch of live green lacewing larvae instead. I just put them right onto the main branch junctions on the plant. It’s working beautifully—the thrips are visibly retreating, and I’ve barely seen any new damage on the big fan leaves this week. Slowly but surely, we are winning this battle!

Enjoying smoking this very much. Will defo grow again

week 4ish. the supercropping failed. the branches insisted on just coming back up no matter how much i pinched them back down ,probably had to tie them but.... fuck it. so some burnt leave tips from being too close to the light.

Giorno 49 Qualche pianta (Crystal Candy XL) mostra carenze di cal-mag o un mancato assortimento di nutrienti dovuto a ph sballato (lo so devo essere più preciso e misurare sempre acqua soluzione e scopo) devo ancora cercare di capire questa puntinatura marrone con necrosi fogliare da cosa sia dovuto La Grape Rolex V2 anche lei mostra qualche segno con un ricurvamento verso il basso di alcune foglie ma tutto sommato sta bene. Ci vediamo settimana prossima 🖐️ 🤞

Pues de van viendo mas gordas las pelotas de golf que tiene esta planta por cogollos y no tan mal oye jajajajaja. El olor es muuuuuy muuy muy dulzón y la resina se siente muy abundante a estas alturas. Con esta variedad juraría que le queda un riego mas con encimas, y ya despues paso a arrancar un lavado de raices de 2 semanas y corte... No lo tengo aún claro porque lo dicho, se están resistiendo jajajajaja pero es inevitable que les vaya quedando menos. Os juro que es absolutamente asqueroso subir un video a la plataforma, seguramente no suba mas videos, son como 15 minutos de tener el telefono con la pantalla encendida en esta pagina mientras se sube, con todo absolutamente bugeado y funcionando fatal, así por cada video que pueda subir, cuando antes no era así ni de lejos y se que no es mi conexión porque hasta conectándome por cable con un hub tira bien, y el teléfono que uso un mi11 ultra, no será de los mas modernos a dia de hoy, pero no deja de ser un pepino de telefono.

Everything after germination has been pretty smooth. The plants in veg had a couple small brown spots due to under watering but no extreme signs or any abnormalities.

Two Chile Verde clones by HBK genetics 🙌🙏 from Buds N Roses. Will be testing some natural pgrs and BAP to mid flower one one clone and test my DIY K Citrate krebs cycle stimulator. Will also see the difference when using immune triggers like chitosan foliar and harpin vs none. 11/20 ph runoff was 6.5 and 1250ppm

Plant is looking good 😊, fully recovered from defoliation, I set the lights closer, switched them to 12h of light per day, and did some spraying to control pests with neem oil and organic Marseille soap, everything good so far . Can't wait to see the flowers forming. I used a net to open up the branches, and get more colas, it worked but I think stressed out the plant a bit and the fact that I did it in the flowering period didn't helped, so next time I'll do it way before, but I recently bought the net so.. anyway I kept the net on for three days, and now I decided to remove it cause was getting me lot of troubles accessing the setup in general, watering, basically made impossible any movement inside the tent. Still did is thing and now I have not the best even canopy but many more top colas for sure. Please give me any advice, I've noticed it is drying out lot faster, humidity is still at 58% but I believe the roots are much more developed. I will leave home for 2 or 3 weeks, my sister will have the duty to just water, can't ask her more, hope for the best. So updates will be very rare but she'll take pictures for me and for us :D .

End of Week 8 (First week of flower) Increased the CO2 to 1200ppm and the ladies love it, already started stretching within the first 3 days of flower which shows that CO2 definitely boosts the grow cycle of cannabis. The main top-sites are popping up everywhere and everything looks evenly spread out. I defoliated again because the fan leaves are growing so fast and blocking bud sites. I also did one last lower canopy maintenance and removed small and stalky bud sites and stems below the trellis net to make sure I get maximum energy distribution to the main colas. I also added some GHF BioEnhancer to make sure the soil-microbes are happy and that the plants reach their maximum potential. Pest Report: EXTERMINATED! Thrips VS Ladybugs VS Neem Oil... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. Then to be extra sure I know that neem oil hinders the life cycle of pests like thrips causing them to stop colonising in my grow room. So I sprayed the ladies every day during the dark period to make sure there are no pests that I or the Ladybugs have missed. Mission accomplished. No more wilting and definitely no more thrips.

She was looking sad and droopy before transplant (probably overwatering) but after about 10 days in her new home she’s looking much happier. Getting good growth.

Hi guys! Sorry havent updated for a while, there has been alot of going on so the plants have gotten very little attention. And I have been ashamed of myself for letting the canophy get that out of hands. The vertical growth just continues on and on, there is not much room to lift the lights anymore. The Hydroguard really did the job, no root problems anymore. Buds are starting to swell and smell is more intense. Anyways nothing wrong with them other than the lack of care in last few weeks. But Its nice to be back!

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💫

Puues ya queda meenos, o una semana si corren o dos, pero no mas. Las puntas blancas! Jajajajaja blaancas infestadas de resina.

Babies are getting tall and stretched, looks beautiful and still no issue, I must adjust properly the ph since my pen is not working anymore but still there’s no sign of any problem. Hope to end by beginning of June!

Weekly up date on these gorgeous ladies. They are stacked and swelling amazing going through the flower stage. I really couldn't be happier with how these have grown as it's an easy one not being to temperamental. I've kept the ppm/ec around the same between 900-1100ppms. Still feeding 16oz daily and all in all Happy Growing.

Clones didnt like the strong light at first and needed some days to get used to it. Some even showed small signs of sunburn. Automatics seemed to be doing fine as they were grown from seed. Clones were put into small pots to encourage growing strong roots first.
