I was really impressed with the speed and quality of the purple lemonade so decided to give another couple of fastbuds a go, forbidden runtz and og kush.
The seeds were soaked in 6.5ph water for 36 hours then placed in paper towel for a further couple of days before being placed directly into 12l air pots with a good little tap root on each. I decided to add 10l of bio bizz coco to 20l of bio bizz soil and then maybe 3/4l of extra perlite as well to lighten up the mixture and it seems to be a lot fluffier than the soil on its own so hopefully get some better root growth.
Same route as usual, lst and defoliation to keep stress down and hopefully get a good fast harvest again 🤞🏻.
Week 1 of veg getting roughly 1l of 6.5ph water after 3 days, probably a little too much but I underwatered at the start of the last grow and I think it stunted the roots, so hopefully a bit of extra moisture at the bottom of the pots attracts those roots I’m looking for!
23/4/21- first feed with voodoo juice and piranha only at 1ml/l ph’d to 6.4.
Week 2 of veg and they’ve had there first feed with base nutes on the 26/6/21, full saturation with 2l each. Temps and humidity are fairly stable peaking at 29/30°c and staying around 50-55% humidity.
28/6/21- started lst.
29/6/31- more lst and a feed.
30/6/21- lst and some minor defoliation, OGK has leaves curling inwards at the edges on the top of the plant, I’m guessing it’s heat stress as it states this is a cold climate strain and I’m struggling to keep temps below 29/30°c with this summer heat.
1/7/21- lst and some minor defoliation with a feed.
Going into week 3 and the only issue I’ve had so far is heat stress on the OGK, high temps outside mean I’ve been struggling to keep temps inside the tent below 30°c, she’s still growing just as fast as the FR though and there both taking training and defoliating very well.
2/7/21- lst and a feed with 2.5l of water.
4/7/21- lst and defoliation.
6/7/21- lst and defoliation with a feed.
Into week 4 and growth is coming on well, trying to keep the canopy even and not too busy, removing fan leaves that overlap and block bud sites. There both showing pistils now and are into there preflowering stage.
12/7/21- feed, lst and defoliation.
14/7/21- defoliation. I was mistaken when I thought I’d seen pistils on the og kush, there aren’t any she’s still in veg.
Week 5 and forbidden runtz has started flowering the past week, og kush is yet to show any pistils, there’s a lot of growth and a lot of tops so she’s looking like she could be a good yielder! Continuing with trying to keep everything level and uncovered.
16/7/21- feed, lst and defoliation.
19/7/21- feed and defoliation.
Into week 6 and forbidden runtz is starting to stack nicely, the og bush 😂 has just started to preflower. There both very healthy and happy so far, the change in soil mix has really helped put a bit of size on the plants. Forbidden runtz is now being fed with big bud and I’ve held off with the og kush but still up’d the rest of her nutes.
23/7/21- feed and defoliation.
26/7/21- feed. Could have been done the day before but didn’t have time. Defoliation and lst for og kush and base nutes at 2.5ml/l
29/7/21- feed, lst and defoliation for both.
The og is finally in full flowering, she’s a big girl compared to the forbidden runtz she could fill the tent on her own. I’m hoping the runtz finishes up fast so I can spread the og out a bit more as she’s quite cramped at the minute with all those colas!
Still no sign of trichomes on the og yet but the runtz is getting frostier by the day! She smells very sweet.
1/8/21- feed, og getting 2.5ml/l of the base nutes and 1ml/l big bud. FR getting 2ml/l of overdrive now and no big bud.
4/8/21- feed
Forbidden Runtz is starting to fill her buds out nicely, there very frosty and smell very sweet so far! The OG Kush is taking over the tent, I’ve had to open her up a bit with some lst and a bit of defoliation as well, as all the colas were tightly packed and some were touching… hasn’t left much room in my little 2x2!
6/8/21- og kush feed, lst, defoliation.
7/8/21- FR feed.
9/8/21- og kush feed.
11/8/21-FR feed.
12/8/21- og kush feed.
Forbidden runtz has had her final feed, next watering will be a flush. She’s got another two weeks I think until she’s done for me, I’m aiming for 25%ish amber for her, most of the pistils are orange now and the trichomes (which there are a lot of!) are turning milky, I’ve got her sat on flower pots to raise her to the light for the last couple of weeks as well. Og kush is desperate for more space, I gave her a defoliation on the 13th as she was getting a bit bushy again, she’s coming on slowly but she’s happy and healthy so I’m sure I’ll be rewarded for my wait!
13/8/21- og kush defoliation.
14/8/21- FR final feed.
16/8/21- og kush feed.
17/8/21- FR watered.
Forbidden runtz is on its flush for harvest, fading away nicely and showing a few ambers now, hopefully just a week left as she absolutely stinks! I must need a new carbon filter because I can smell her from the garden now 😬😂.
Og kush is coming along nicely now, starting to pack on some size in the buds. I upped the last feed and a couple of days later her tips were burnt so I gave her 4 litres of ph 6.4 water to get rid of some of the excess before her next feed. The sooner the FR is finished the better because she really needs spread out the colas are too close together!
21/8/21- both ph 6.4 water only.
23/8/21- fr final watering.
25/8/21- og kush feed.
With the forbidden runtz out of the way I’ve been able to open up the og kush, and my days is she bushy she’s filled the tent! Removed a bit of foliage from underneath and around bud sites up top to get the light and air around a bit better. She was underfed then over fed but I think I’ve got her settled now, getting fed every two days.
Was an easy grow, took lst and defoliation well. Only took 70 days from seed to harvest with roughly 10-15% amber trichomes. In the last couple of weeks of flowering she absolutely stank! And she got frostier by the day, if you rub a fan leaf and smell your fingers you get a sweet mango at first then rub a bit more and you get more fruits, citrus and maybe berries 🤤 I really can’t wait to smoke some, I hope she tastes as well as she smells. I’ve made up a dry box with a computer fan stuck in the side at the top and draw vents in the sides at the bottom covered with filter. Humidity is around 54% and temp at 20°c currently in the box, all sealed for 5 days.
After opening the box on day 5 I closed it up for another two days as it wasn’t quite ready. Trimmed up after 7 days of drying and I’ve been left with 64.09g of good bud and 7.61g of fluff and a lot of trim!
After a couple of days in a jar the humidity is at 59%.
Into week 12 for the og kush and she doesn’t seem very happy! I didn’t realise my co2 bag had ran out and temps were up to 32°c for a few days and dried the pot right out so I’m guessing heat stress and under watering 👎🏻 Hopefully I can keep her right and get her to harvest. She’s had another defoliation on the 6th, probably the last. Starting to smell like pine and citrus 🤤.
On the final push, had 4l of ph’d water on the 16/9/21 and will get a proper flush the next watering. She smells like citrusy pine, not overpowering but still there. She’s taken a lot of abuse as you can see by the state of her, temps reaching above 33°c for a couple of weeks, underwatered and overfed to name a few things but she’s nearly done and has some nice big buds! Trichomes are nearly all milky with a few ambers here and there, still a few clear so I’ll be waiting till there’s none clear 👌🏻.
Not much to report this week, calyx’s are popping and there’s not many clear trichomes left. Just waiting for her to use up her stored nutrients and get all the trichomes milky/amber then she’s getting chopped! She’s had a defoliation as well just to finish her off.
Very easy strain to grow, she withstood 34°c and more, she was underwatered and overfed and still absolutely smashed it in the end. She responded very well to lst and defoliation there was just shoot after shoot of big dense red, purple and green buds that stink of fuel, pine and a hint of lemon 🤤 she really stunk the house out in the last few weeks! Harvested at day 101 with around 20/30% amber trichomes.
Dry weight once fully dry.
