Runtz!

Welcome to my new diary! Well this one was not planned, but after one of my Strawberry Banana seeds failed to sprout, I tossed this one in to germinate, as it's supposedly a little faster than the Strawnana, so the two should work out harvesting near enough one another, despite the lost week. I don't really mind that the other seed failed, as it lets me try a different strain. >> SEEDS << Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz Totally new strain for me, though I've smoked a regular Runtz once before and enjoyed it, so I'm intrigued by this one. Here's the official FastBuds blurb: "An Indica-dominant hybrid that can reach up to 130cm, skillfully selected and bred to offer growers of any level the top-quality traits that made its parents so popular in California; This high yielder can produce up to 550gr/m2 in just under 65 days, making it ideal for those who are looking for high-quality buds in a relatively short amount of time. You can expect a delightful and flavorful blend of aromas that thanks to the impressive 26% THC results in a cerebral high that hits you between the eyes and slowly turns into a strong corporal relaxation." >> EQUIPMENT << I keep things pretty Lo-Fi: 3 Gallon Felt pot Vitalink Calmag Bio-Bizz Light Mix Bio-Bizz Grow Bio-Bizz Bloom Bio-Bizz Alg-A-Mic Fecida CR600 110w LED Rhino Fan and Carbon Filter I grow in an insulated grow tent in my back garden. It's not ideal, but needs must and the environment is pretty comfortable for plants now that I've straightened it all out and got it nicely dialled in. >> GERMINATION TIMELINE << 01/06 - Seed put in between two cotton pads, soaked in water and kept in between two bowls on a seedling heat mat. 02/06 - Taproot cracked well this morning and I left it another 6 hours or so to get a bit of length before putting it into the mud. Planted into soil with a taproot of about 1cm. 04/06 - Sprout is all popped up and ready to hit the tent! Alright, here's hoping that this one grows with a bit more vigour and tears it up in order to catch a little bit of lost time from the Strawnana fail!
