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.

Buds are very sticky. Will harvest on the next visit

This week consists of July 2, 2022 thru July 8, 2022 - Seeds were planted on May 27th, 2022 and they all sprouted on May 31st, 2022 (~4 days) Beginning of flower so I changed the light to use the HPS bulb. Maintaining temp and humidity during flower with lower temperatures and a higher VPD has been a bit challenging because of the outside temperature but it went ok. I will start to lower the AC unit temperature during dark period to get a larger difference but it makes it hard to keep the CO2 levels high with the AC unit on more often. The plants are using up a lot more water now so I have increased the feeding/water frequency to at least every other day. LIGHTS: I'm running the lights on an 18-6 schedule. I have the dark time scheduled from 11am to 5pm since the lights increase temperature and during that time the outside temperature is at its highest so it seems to be easier to maintain proper temperature ranges with the light off during that period. Swapped out the metal halide bulb to the high pressure sodium on July 6th since the plants have been in flower. WATER: July 3rd: ~750 - 1000 ml of 6.1 PH and 880 PPM. 15 ml/gal of Big Bloom 10 ml/gal of Grow Big 5 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 6th: ~1000 ml of 6.1 PH and 1120 PPM. 20 ml/gal of Big Bloom 15 ml/gal of Grow Big 10 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 7th: ~1000 ml of 6.1 PH - oxygenated water TEMP/HUMIDITY: A max of 84.8F and a min of 71.4F with an average of 79.7. VPD was pretty consistently in a tighter range with the average being around 1.41. Whole week numbers> Temp - 79.7F avg - 71.4F min - 84.8F max Humidity - 59.4% avg - 32.0% min - 81% max VPD - 1.41 avg - 0.53 min - 2.55 max CO2: Floating ball is between .5 and 1. This lets a more gradual amount of CO2 to enter the tent and I now get a more stable level of CO2 that fluctuates between around 1000 ppm and 1300 ppm. The regulator is still plugged into the same outlet as the lights so it turns off on the same light/dark schedule. PAR: PPFD between 300-1100. I got a legitimate par meter and now have a much better idea of how much light is being received on each plant. The tops of some plants are getting the 700-1100 range and some side leaves are getting in the 400-500 range. The new bulb gives off a lot of light and the plants have grown much closer to the bulb so some tips are getting a high PAR so they should make excellent use of the increased CO2. ISSUES: The plants are getting a lot bigger and taking more water per week. I removed some of the plants and moved them into a different tent to allow for enough room for them all to bush out and finish stretching. TECHNIQUES: I implemented a very small amount of LST throughout the week and removed only a few inner leaves(defoliation) to increase the light to some of the inner branches.

Another great week of bud growth and terpenes production. Think I'll be finished half was through week 9, or at the end of week 9. So far no signs of any hermaphrodite traits. Wish I started flower with a little less light intensity, as I feel that's caused the buds near the top to slightly fox tail, as the ones lower down look abit of a better shape, although smaller.

ZTRAWBERRIEZ and Gorilla Punch don't need much longer. In this week the pistols all were coloured in orange. The buds did their bulk perfectly. We got temps +30 degrees so in the greenhouse there Are +40 degrees. The following week should get cold and rainy. ZKITTELZ needs a little more time but also is doing good.

Still smooth sailing. Both plants are growing well and are starting to become frosty. The intensity of the smell is increasing by day. Unfortunately the Purple Lemonade isn't really purple. We'll see about that.

🇩🇪🌱 Woche 3 | Cherry Limeade by Doja 🍒🍋 Diese Woche verlief leider nicht ganz so, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Die kleine Cherry Limeade wächst weiterhin sehr langsam und ist aktuell erst etwa 4 cm groß. 🌱 Ich war fünf Tage beruflich unterwegs und konnte das Beet in dieser Zeit sich selbst überlassen. Als ich zurückkam, war das Cover Crop regelrecht explodiert 🌿💥 und hatte den kleinen Sämling vollständig überwachsen. Damit hatte ich ehrlich gesagt nicht gerechnet. Nach dem Freischneiden bekam die Cherry Limeade endlich wieder Licht und etwas Luft. Auch mit der Blumat-Bewässerung kämpfe ich im Moment noch etwas. Das System funktioniert grundsätzlich, aber die optimale Einstellung der vier Maxi-Tropfer in Kombination mit dem 130-Liter-Living-Soil-Beet zu finden, ist deutlich schwieriger als erwartet. Gerade bei einer so kleinen Pflanze verändert sich der Wasserverbrauch ständig, während das Cover Crop zeitweise deutlich mehr Wasser zieht als die eigentliche Kulturpflanze💧. Heute gab es außerdem die erste Gabe Almicanna Veg Komposttee 🍵. Ansonsten bleibt meine Strategie unverändert: so wenig wie möglich eingreifen und dem Living Soil die Chance geben, seine Arbeit zu machen. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 200 PPFD (18/6, Stufe 2, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 82 % 📈 VPD: 0,69 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 750 ppm 💧 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 80 mbar Dieses Projekt ist für mich genauso ein Test des Setups wie ein Grow. Im Moment bin ich mit der Abstimmung noch nicht zufrieden und sehe bereits einige Punkte, die ich beim nächsten Durchgang verbessern möchte. Learning by doing gehört eben auch zu Living Soil. Trotz des langsamen Starts bekommt die Cherry Limeade ihre Chance. Da ich in den kommenden Wochen fast jede Woche unterwegs sein werde, muss sich das System möglichst selbst tragen. Entweder die Pflanze etabliert sich unter diesen Bedingungen – oder eben nicht. Genau das möchte ich herausfinden. Sollte dieser Durchgang nicht den gewünschten Erfolg bringen, startet im Herbst ein neuer Versuch mit einem überarbeiteten Setup und den Erkenntnissen aus diesem Grow. Bis dahin heißt es: beobachten, möglichst wenig eingreifen und weiter dazulernen 🍒🤞. ⸻ 🇬🇧🌱 Week 3 | Cherry Limeade by Doja 🍒🍋 This week didn’t quite go as I had hoped. The little Cherry Limeade is still growing very slowly and is currently only about 4 cm tall. 🌱 I was away on business for five days and had to leave the bed completely on its own. When I returned, the cover crop had absolutely exploded 🌿💥 and completely overgrown the seedling. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to become that vigorous. After trimming it back, the Cherry Limeade finally had access to light and airflow again. I’m also still struggling a bit with dialing in the Blumat irrigation system. It works in principle, but finding the perfect balance with four Maxi drippers in a 130-liter living soil bed is proving to be more challenging than expected. With such a small seedling, water demand changes constantly, while the cover crop can temporarily consume much more water than the cannabis plant itself. 💧 Today the plant also received its first watering with Almicanna Veg Compost Tea 🍵. Other than that, my strategy remains the same: interfere as little as possible and let the living soil do its job. 📊 Current environment: 💡 Light: 200 PPFD (18/6, Level 2, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 82% 📈 VPD: 0.69 kPa 🌿 CO₂: 750 ppm average 💧 Soil moisture: 80 mbar At this point, this project is as much a test of my setup as it is a grow. Right now I’m not completely satisfied, and I’ve already identified several things I’d like to improve for the next run. That’s all part of the learning process with living soil. Despite the slow start, I’m giving Cherry Limeade every chance to succeed. I’ll be away almost every week over the coming weeks, so the system needs to be able to take care of itself. Either the plant establishes itself under these conditions—or it doesn’t. That’s exactly what I want to learn from this experiment. If this run doesn’t turn out as planned, I’ll start a new attempt this autumn with an improved setup and everything I’ve learned from this grow. Until then, the plan is simple: observe, interfere as little as possible, and keep learning. 🍒🤞

Less is more. Lesson learned. Without training these plants, having the fifth plant has really cramped the tent. Because I have limited space for the tent, access into the sides isn't possible. I have only the front entrance. Next time I think I will stick yo maybe three strains that have been positive and try and find the time to train more. The WOS-Northern/Skunk has grown out so nicely into a Xmas tree type of posture. She is making her really good friends with her neighbours, perhaps to their detriment. Seedsman Blueberry continues to be solid and unphased by anything. This is the first time I have smelled a plant that has such a fruity aroma. It really took me aback in surprise. Very cool. HiFi 4G needs support. Did a McGyver solution for the time being. Doesn't appear to have bulked up much this week. Jack is about the same. A bit of bulk up but not expecting this one to be a big yielder. Appears healthy overall so I'm happy. CBD+ bulked up for sure on the main cola's. I'm skeptical she will be done at 60 days at this point....but have to trust what Dinafem are telling me. Be safe folks.

Towards the end of week 4 into flowering. The 2 smaller plants are about 4 and half weeks since germination and are in pre flower

Number 10 has been flowering strong. Has about a week left for feeding then to a 2 week flush. I gotta work with what the plant tells me. Thanks again fast buds Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🌱🤜🤛 Happy growing

Start of week 8, just water.

Aug 23: Sunday Punch EV is very fast and is getting close to ready. The buds are getting quite big and are weighing down the branches. Without the Scrog net she would be too floppy for all these buds. Plants are a bit too green lately so maybe there’s too much N still, but she’ll grow out of it. For pH adjustments I use apple cider vinegar normally but I ran out last week and was using malt vinegar. That must be one of the sources of excess N so I switched to regular white vinegar. Anyway, she is a very impressive plant. Aug 27: getting noticeably frostier. Hot again today. Increased water volume to about 9 L per day done as three 3 L waterings in morning, afternoon and finally in evening. Adding potassium silicate still to water and adjusting pH with vinegar and then adding a squirt of Dr Bronners Peppermint Soap as a wetting agent (surfactant) and the smell supposedly keeps bugs away. Unfortunately there are hardly any insects around any more, so, yay. Aug 28: flash pics before using red light. Don’t do flash pics of your plants if you don’t follow it up with a red light. Still seems a bit risky but this is the fourth year doing it and it seems fine.

Great week, this is one of the best growth I've worked on. I'm watering everyday about 0,75L per plant and add 3 days a week nutrients. I'll increase to 3ml/L of Terra Bloom from now on.

14.12: Last week; we’re about to finish! Will update you soon. Keep an eye on the harvest posts. 16.12: Fade about to run out will change to RO+Cleanse when it does, Will run 3 days of RO to as scheduled from Athena on 6-6.4 I did write a reaaaaaally detailed post but growdiaries managed to delete/not post it

Ppfd: 500-600, Ec: 1,3-14, Ph:5,8, Drain: 10% Max. Tent is Full After a week of flower, One Main per Square of the Trellis netting. Planning to defoaliate and probably take off everything under the trellis between day 14-21 of flower. Limit the Stretch through generative steering, dropping Night Temperature to 20-23 Celsius and 25-27 Düring the day. Lowering humidity according to VPD. Reaching 40% dryback in the Medium daily, signaling drought and therefore increasing ec in the medium for More osmotic pressure which results in the plant Building flower sites rather than roots and leaves.

Sadly missed a week due to personal reason.. Anyway way this forbidden runtz is outstanding... she's grown so fast. She's smelling really good at the min.. Not a lot has change fees wise. Iv given her some boost so won't be long now.
