Runtz muffin FC4800 hydro

Esoteric_growing Pretty nice start, these are the selected pheno I plan to run. Doing multiple phenos with varied stretch made it difficult to control the canopy and this one I think has the best balance between potency/taste/look and yield. I just can’t help continuing to grow this strain😂

Esoteric_growing All going well, did a little light bending just to keep the main heads roughly even. Also added a little more cal mag

Esoteric_growing First day in the Wilma system and placed them under the net. Just installed the Mars FC4800 and the light is eye burning bright.

Esoteric_growing Very impressed with the Mars FC4800 so far, only on between 60-75% and internode gaps are fantastic. Very hot weather lately but plants seem to be taking it just fine. I started 12/12 two days ago and second net is just to reposition any branches in to ideal positions and support etc. I have also left the grow nutrients in the tank for the first 2 days of flower but will swap for bloom nutrients tomorrow.

Esoteric_growing Much nicer internode gaps using the Mars FC4800 than with my HPS. Canopy is full and a defoliation is coming up in the next day or two. So far so good

Esoteric_growing Defoliated at day 8 and it’s grown so fast it looks like I have not done it. I will do another round of defoliation on day 21. Happy with the canopy and hoping they do not stretch much more lol.

Esoteric_growing Recovered well from the defoliation on day 21 of flower. Pretty much plain sailing from now on as stretch has stopped and only need a few heads and maybe remove the odd leaf.

Esoteric_growing Added the PK as these look well developed for a 9 week strain, seems to be this strain finishes slightly quicker under a LED compared to a HPS as this is the second time I have noticed this. All looking good so far and it’s pretty easy going from here onwards.

Esoteric_growing Dropped EC to 1.2 and then added shooting powder, pics taken day 37 flower.

Esoteric_growing End of the first week of using the shooting powder and the plants are loving it and took the higher EC level with no problems, running slightly higher PH levels to help with the uptake of P and K. Looking like it’s going to be a really good run

Esoteric_growing Applied shooting powder for days 42-49, now started the flush which will last for a minimum of 14 days.

Esoteric_growing In full flush mode, very very dense buds this time round. Literally like rocks.

Esoteric_growing Harvested top half of the canopy 6 days ago and harvested the bottom half today day 66

Esoteric_growing Very happy with the result. Very strong and high quality with great bag appeal.
