Runtz

emeraldlabs Things are going well. She got a little leggy, but new light slowed that down. No worries, she will be buried deep when transplanted. Will include additional details after transplanting and topping. Photos taken 7 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs Growing like a weed. Don’t think we are too far off from transplanting. Topping will quickly follow. Have always watered with RO water, hence additional calmag. I may try tap going forward; starting with this gal and her soul sister, White Wedding. Will include additional details after transplanting and topping. Photos taken 14 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs Topped on day 18! First time topping before transplanting. Ready to transplant here in the next few days and get to training. Will include additional details after transplanting. Photos taken 21 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs Transplanted on day 25! Will start training this week, followed by additional topping and attempted cloning. Will be the last time the plant is topped. She will head to the flower tent in 3-4 weeks. Photos taken 28 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs Not a whole lot to report this week. A lot of LST and fan leaf tucking. Will continue with daily training until flip. Photos taken 35 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs Welp, got a little aggressive on the LST and broke main branch; a first for me. All good, we live and we learn. Last week of veg upcoming! Photos taken 42 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs Hooray! Veg is over! Moved to flower tent today, with a clone taken beforehand. Hope the clone takes; will have early lemon berry, runtz, and white wedding mothers. Will cut that back to 2 depending on which 2 are the best. Next run will be with Squirt from Humboldt, imagine that will take the spot of one of my 2 mothers. Photos taken 49 days after soil was broken.

emeraldlabs First week of flower has gone well! She got more grow nutes in prep for stretch. Also got recharge for the first time - hoping it’s as good as I’ve read. Recharge was used on “non-feeding” day. The clone still hasn’t rooted, but hopefully soon! Photos taken 56 days after soil was broken, day 7 of flower.

emeraldlabs All is going well! Expect the stretch to be over. Switched off the dyna nutrients to floraflex and excited to give a heavy feeding tomorrow. Will also get recharge again this week (experimenting with once every 2 weeks for time being). Clone rooted in less than 2 weeks! Photos taken 63 days after soil was broken, day 14 of flower. 9/21: 2 g B1, 2g B2, 0.5g Bulky B in 1G water pH 6.3, EC 1.46 Runoff: pH 6.2, EC 1.85 9/24: No nutrients pH 6.8, EC 0.3 Runoff: 6.5, EC 1.05

emeraldlabs So… I’m a bit concerned with the early fading. I’ve added a bit of calmag when feeding and am going to feed, feed, water, from feed, water, feed, water, etc; hoping to nip this in the bud without a flush. Any any feedback is appreciated; long way from finish line. Photos taken 70 days after soil was broken, day 21 of flower. 9/27: 4g B1, 4g B2, 2g Bulky B in 1G water pH 6.1, EC 2.62 Runoff: pH 6.2, EC 1.85 9/30: 1/2 tsp recharge in 1G pH 6.5 water Runoff not monitored 10/3: 4g B1, 3g B2, 3g Bulky B, 1/2 tsp calmag in 1G water pH 6.4, EC 2.93 Runoff: pH 6.1, EC 3.26

emeraldlabs About half way through flower! After feeding, feeding, feeding, we seemed to have slowed down the fade. Threw the kitchen sink at her! Fingers crossed for a fun 2nd half of flower! Photos taken 77 days after soil was broken, day 28 of flower. 10/6: 4g B1, 3g B2, 3g Bulky B, 3/4 tsp calmag in 1G water; watered with ~3/4G pH 6.6, EC 3.02 Runoff: pH 6.1, EC 3.6 10/9: 1 tsp Big bloom, 1/2 tsp calmag, 1/4 tsp pro-tekt, pHed to 6.5 then 1/2 tsp recharge added pH 6.5, EC 0.63 (both readings prior to adding recharge) Did not monitor runoff

emeraldlabs Well, these girls sure are pretty lol. Wish this fade showed up 2 weeks from now, but here we are. They got a mini flush this week with 2G pHed water. A half feeding the following watering. Happy to be passed the half way point, hoping we can hang in there. Photos taken 84 days after soil was broken, day 35 of flower. 10/12: Mini flush; 2G water 1st gallon: pH 6.5, EC 0.29 1st gallon runoff; pH 6.6, EC 2.0 2nd gallon: pH 6.5, EC 0.29 2nd gallon runoff: pH 6.6, EC 1.43 10/15: 2g B1, 1.5g B2, 1.5g Bulky B, 1/4 tsp calmag in 1G water pH 6.2, EC 1.64 Runoff: pH 6.4, EC 2.2

emeraldlabs Bulking season! Had to stake the girls as branches were getting heavy and leaning. While not then prettiest (but also, damn pretty), we should make it to the finish line. Been feeding half strength and will do so until harvest. Photos taken 91 days after soil was broken, day 42 of flower. 10/18: 1G tap water pH 6.2, EC 0.29 Runoff: pH 6.6, EC 1.44 Recharge added to top layer after watering. 10/21: 1.5g B1, 1.5g B2, 2.5g Bulky B, 1/4 tsp calmag in 1G water pH 6.1, EC 1.7 Runoff: pH 6.2, EC 2.46 10/24: 1G tap water pH 6.1, EC 0.3 Runoff: pH 6.3, EC 1.85

emeraldlabs The finish line is in sight! Two more weeks and we chop! Full tilt this week, then water the rest of the way. Photos taken 98 days after soil was broken, day 49 of flower. 10/27: 1g B1, 1g B2, 4g full tilt, 1/4 tsp calmag in 1G water pH 6.3, EC 1.5 Runoff: pH 6.1, EC 2.17 10/24: 1G tap water pH 6.5, EC 0.25 Runoff: pH 6.4, EC 1.63

emeraldlabs Just 1 more week. Only water, no nutes. Next update will be chop day! Photos taken 105 days after soil was broken, day 56 of flower. 11/2: 4g full tilt, 1/4 tsp calmag in 1G water pH 6.4, EC 1.21 Runoff: pH 6.2, EC 2.11 11/5: 1G tap water pH 6.6, EC 0.44 Runoff: pH 6.2, EC 2.0

emeraldlabs Chop day! Removed a bunch of fan leaves and put her in the dry closet. Easy to keep the dry closet at 60/60 this time of year, so will likely trim in 10-14 days. Be back in ~8 weeks with a report! Photos taken 112 days after soil was broken, day 63 of flower. 11/8: 1G tap water pH 6.7, EC 0.33 Runoff: pH 6.4, EC 1.44 11/11: 1 G tap water pH 6.6, EC 0.25 Runoff: pH 6.5, EC 1.2

emeraldlabs She hermed. Enough said.
