Runtz

Those Runtz are 10 clones and they were already starting to flower when I got them. But I wanted them to veg a little more so I tried to revert/slow down their flo for about 2 months before to finally start 12h cycle early May. Because of this, it's hard for me to say what week I'm in because I lack experience. However, based on pictures I see on your diaries guys I'd say maybe I'm around week 6. EDIT: reviewed to week 4 but it might be even earlier, like week 3. Time will tell! I got those clones to conduct observations because one of my relatives engineered 2 catalysts (or rather reverse engineered products called by Agrispon et Sincocin) and asked me to do experiments with it. I call it A100 and V100 and it is listed in my nutrients list. A100 is for Veg, V100 is for flowering. I actually gave smaller quantities than what I'm supposed to since, you know, it's my first serious grow in a long time and I wanted to stay cool and don't burn the plants. After 3 months observing the plants (5 of them received A100 and 5 of them did not receive it), I can tell that results start to show up: all the plants that received A100 are about 42 inches tall, the 5 other plants who did not receive it are about 39 inches tall. Also, the buds are thicker on the plants who received A100. Check the photos I will post here soon. Until two weeks ago I didn't know about V100. It is only recently that my relative told me about it. I watered the 5 plants who received A100 with V100 yesterday for the first time. They will probably receive another dose in a week or two. Oh, I almost forgot about that, but clones had spider mites. Man, a good thing I had rosemary in the backyard, made an extract, sprayed and pheww, it now looks much much better than 3 weeks ago! I didn't get infested badly, only one plant started to show weakness because of the mites. I moved fast and I think it saved the plant. I would have been away from the plants for 4 days I think this one could have died. So, yeah, rosemary is my best friend. Those days, leaves are yellowing and I believe it's normal, maybe I overwatered a little, not sure. My medium is moist but not wet. I will wait and see but I was working with the plant yesterday and I had the feeling that the plant just needed to loose some leaves, that she had too much. Voila voila. Cheers!

Still caught few spider mites today while defoliating, not much really, but you know the feeling when you find them, right .. ?! Other than that I believe those Runtz are doing fine. I dont water them a lot, Im surprised. That said, the greenhouse keeps it humid half of the day. They could defo have been taller but 1-they were already flowering when I got them. 2-they had mites when I got them. Lesson learned! No more clones but seeds.

Still can find rare spider mites here and there. It's never over hey.. Im not spraying anything though, … scissors and patience are key! The buds start to grow more crystals, the bracts/calyxes are growing thicker and the smell is going wild. I stated to give them Mother of All Blooms last week and will do one more time. That's all they get, otherwise just water. They received silicate early on and I hope it will help a bit with the heatwave we had last weekend. I give them much more water than 2 weeks ago. Maybe 1 gallon a day now, whereas they had 2 gallons per week 2 weeks ago. I believe they are not humid at night and i need to figure this out.

All good my friends, not much to say honestly, I'm watering them a lot now while they didnt had much water the full season. The buds are getting more fat but some are still stretching, I wonder if its normal or else. The smell is turning very fruity, love the pungent smell when i open the deprivation cover in the morning. its pretty dry during the day and humid at night because under the cover with little aeration. But so far so good, I tried to trim to keep any chance of mold away. I wish i would have started those plants from seeds because they were clones I got and it was not optimal really. When I see the size of the other plants Im starting from seeds, i feel like those Runtz should have been much much bigger plants. No regrets, they re looking great!

Patience, patience!
