Forbidden Runtz

📆12th June Week 1 Week 1 - Decided to run coco this time... instantly regretted it! Disclaimer: I enjoy growing in coco but I think it’s best using in my winter when the air is dry and I can better maintain the environment. FAST BUDS - Forbidden Runtz Looking forward to tasting the rainbow highly regarded strain haven’t had the chance to grow Runtz, any tips welcome 🙏

Growth has been slow, my guess... I added to much Mono Calcium EC was too strong for the seedlings. 📌Transplanted into straight 100% CANNA COCO using 9L Air pots. 📌Added Mykos to the roots to aid in transplant the root growth has been poor this time. Purely my error. 📌Watered in with Low dose of ICONIC Formulex. I have had a bottle for a few years and has always been good at getting things back on track before I start my feeding schedule. Things should pick up staying optimistic XD

📆27th June —————————————— Week 3 Update, things have been coming along slowly. I need to re think my start in coco when growing seedlings. I changed something, tried to fix something that wasn’t broken. In the past I would only use a small amount of water & nutrients this time I over did it with both of these... I’m praying things will pick up soon and they will start growing, just going to keep up with the daily feeds. All my girls are massing roots at the base of the pot so hopefully growth up top should pick up soon.

📆27th June —————————————— Sloooow, this is a good case study for “when autoflowers go wrong” Small size is due to a cock up at the start of their very short and unpredictable lives. what happened? • I added 600ppm of Calcium oxide... note to self - never do that again. • I also been overwatering, even if it is impossible to overwater coco my tests suggest from seedling stage it is possible... • Roots need time to develop, they need that wet/dry cycle even if it is for a few weeks to a month. I have seen better results when treating the 100% coco like soil almost. I’m going to keep them alive and try to pull something off this run but I’m not expecting miracles at this stage.🙏✌️

__________________________________ 📆11th July The biggest of the bunch at the moment. The main stem is thin and she’s now entered flowering so Im not expecting miracles at this stage.

📆20th July - Week 6 __________________________________ Im happy we’re In flowering with these Autoflowers. It’s been a stressful grow to say the least. A recap on the problems and a few things learnt from this grow. 1.) I won’t transplant autos, that’s not saying you can’t just I won’t do it again. I’ve successfully transplanted autos in the past in coco with no issues but it really not worth it. 2.) I will never water coco everyday when they’re seedlings. They simply don’t need it. Unless you’re in a 100g bag or something of that small size coco definitley can be overwatered. 3.) Buffered Canna coco doesn’t need any more calcium at a seedling stage, contrary to belief if it’s buffered correctly then there should be enough for the first few weeks and then enough in most nutrient brands unless using RO of course.

📆25th July - Week 7 Lovely stout lil plant with some wonderful frost showing early on. The smell is intoxicating, no wonder Fast Buds Fam called her forbidden fruits 🍇 I have done a little defoliating, and will continue to remove leaves when buds grow more.

This Forbidden fruits has an awesome smell!! The Nugz are nice and dense, looking at 2-3 more weeks hopefully get some good swelling over the next few weeks. Little bit of tip burn nothing drastic at this stage, still experimenting after so many years but always having fun!

FORBIDDEN FRUITS Coming close to the end, she will have 1 more then a rapid flush next week some time. I will let her dry out in the pot and Harvest when she’s looking ready. As I said last week had some tip burn. I expect it’s from a lockout of some sort or a relationship between calcium and potassium. I added a low etc feed of PK and the edges seemed to have stopped darkening. Tbh she hasn’t had a great deal of K and a whole lot of Ca so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a issue relating. Brilliant exotic aroma wafting toward me, she’s a real sweet plant just want to give her some justice before she’s finished up. ✌️🙏

📆Week 10 - Flushing💦 She will be harvested this week, intense exotic fruit aroma really nice cone shaped buds. Just been using a mix of Clean Fruits, Humic Acid plus and Big fruits.
