Welcome Back fellow growers for the start of Grow # 25. Since I've been growing for a little 3 years now and have had much success, I decided it was time to do some upgrading, kind of like a treat to myself for winning awards and having successful harvests, so this grow will feature a completely new grow setup than before. I decided to go with Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz Auto, this is the second plant of this strain in the garden, I figure since I've heard so many good things about it why not grow more than one plant of this strain. It's an Indica-dominant hybrid that can reach up to 130cm, 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.

The seed was placed in a shot glass of water that had a ph of 6.29, I'll come back in 18-hours to see if it's dropped to the bottom of the shot glass.
Tuesday, βJune β15, β2021
Checked on the seed late this afternoon and after a slight tap from the finger, the seed floated right to the bottom of the shot glass.

The seed has been soaking now for 48 hours and is cracked open and showing a taproot. I then placed the seed inside a moist paper towel, that was put into a plastic container, inside of the grow tent. I'll come back after so many hours to make the paper towel is still moist and to check on the taproot to see if it's long enough to go into the soil.

Mid-morning I checked on the seed and the taproot had already grown to about 1cm long so it was transplanted into a 1.7-gallon plastic pot with Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil, then I lightly watered around the area where the seed was planted with water that had a ph of 6.12. After that, I place the pot in the tent with the lights off until I see something peeking through the soil then I'll turn on the lights. Throughout the day I'll check on them to see if the topsoil is still moist if not I'll lightly mist it again.

Within 24-hours the seed has popped above the soil. The true leaves are still too though small to start counting days. So far the new AC Infinity setup has been perfect, keeping the temp and humidity right where I need it to be.

Not much to report today the seedling is doing great, the environment has been perfect, the temperature has stayed at a steady 79β and the humidity has been between 55-60%.
WEEK 1β
Monday, βJune β21, β2021 (Day 1)
Today officially starts Day 1 for the seedling. Everything seems great, I did notice a little bit of stretching but nothing alarming and it has seemed to stop. The seedling is being misted about twice a day with ph balanced water, just to keep the topsoil moist.
βWednesday, βJune β23, β2021 (Day 3)
Seedling is doing wonderful and not much to report, took height measurement today.

Woke up today to one happy seedling, seems the seedling responded very well to its first watering and is praying to the lights happy as can be. I also cleaned the tent this morning to make sure everything stays nice and clean and pest-free.
Saturday, βJune β26, β2021 (Day 6)
Not much to report, check on the seedling once today, everything is still going well.
Sunday, June 27, 2021 (Day 7)
Last day of Week 1 for the seedling and I must say that I'm very pleased with how things have been going so far, and even more pleased with how the new setup has been performing, I'm hoping that I can continue with keeping the environment stable so the young seedling can have optimal growth.
@MrHightimes, Nice, been dying to run this strain, so I'm growing 3 plants of it, I can't wait until they're done. I have space for one more thinking about popping a different strain from the same collection today, not sure tho.
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
