Runtz!

I took down the Forbidden Runtz on Day 62 which was RAPID. I think I usually harvest a little on the early side as that's just the way I like my smoke, but this actually wouldn't go much further for most people in my opinion, probably 10-11 weeks max if you want an amber heavy harvest. The smell is unreal, absolutely stinks to high heaven. I harvested it and it was the type of plant that makes you worry about your neighbours. Definitely not one for a stealth grow, but wow, its a strong, fruity, ripe scent that actually reminds me o fa GSC a little bit, but thicker and somehow denser, more over-ripe fruits. >> HARVEST AND TRIM << The bud for this plant was kind of okay, I found it to be a little bit airy, almost like a sativa dominant plant, but still stocky and densely packed in. The trim was a bit of a chore to be honest, with a lot of small sugar leaves and even mini fan leaves sprouting out of everywhere. It took a while to trim and wasn't my favourite part of the harvest, but I got it done and hung it to dry on the stems in temps of 23-25C and a Relative Humidity of about 50% though at times it did peak at 60% due to the recent rains we've been having. >> DRY BUD REPORT << The dry took about 6 days which is about average for my area, so not bad at all. I still feel like the bud is a little airier than I'd have liked but it's okay! The final weight came in at 44g which is a little underwhelming, but the bud absolutely stinks and is sticky as all hell so I'm willing to let it go since it seems like good quality smoke! >> EARLY SMOKE << Definitely an Indica feeling stone this one, a bit heavy in the head and probably something I'd save for night times or late evenings when settling in to watch a film or something. I vaped it and the taste is really nice, quite strong and those over-ripe fruits really come through. For such an early smoke it was actually pretty smooth so I'm excited for this one to cure. >> FINAL THOUGHTS << Overall this was a god grow, very easy to take to harvest and it gave me very little trouble all the way. It trained well and yeah, really nothing to complain about. All these newer FastBud strains seem to be pretty good quality and I have yet to have a plant that I wouldn't grow again. Likewise, I'll grow out my other seeds of this sometime, but I want to try some other strains first. in future, I wouldn't hesitate to grow again, however. Thanks for reading along, best of luck with all your grows, take it easy! x
