Cherry Runtz clones

These clones have been under the dome for just over 2 weeks, so I transplanted them into temporary pots. Will give them a couple days to get used to the idea, and Saturday I plan to find a nice shady spot outside. They really look happy to have more room. The smaller one is a clipping off the larger - I figured why not since it was a decent size. Am happy she is showing a bit of root.

They are doing well outside. It stormed for a couple days, but I have them on some steps in a corner where they are protected. Something ate part of one leaf and new growth may have gotten sun burn. I will start giving nutrients this week.

That are trying to flower. I may nip the tops off and move them out of the corner where they get shad half the day. I noticed that the soil has settled, the root ball has been a bit exposed. I need to do some maintenance. Bugs have been tenacious this summer, and I have had to sprinkle DE on everyone. This week I started giving nutrients every other day. I look forward to them becoming large enough that I don’t have to worry over them as much.

(Excuse the weeds) They are both putting on new growth and looking pretty good. It is probably time to transplant them into a decent size pot, but with the days growing shorter I need to decide if i want to leave them out or bring them in for light. Update - I have moved them inside where they can get 18 hours of light. I’d really like to see them veg a bit more before flowering. They were a bit dry for these pictures- I may post more when they are more cheerful.

They are hot and unhappy inside, and determined to flower. So this weekend I will move them to a bigger pot outside and let them do what they want. Autos are much easier for a beginner like me. I will try photos again next year, but start them in the spring outdoors. Update - they are back outdoors and much happier.

What a difference a week makes! These girls are so much happier outside basking in the sun. The color is better, and they have started growing again. I am hopeful that minor topping and the week of light may have convinced them to reveg- I guess we will see. I treated everyone with Monterey Bt because I saw possible signs of caterpillars. I moved them to 3 gallon pots thinking that they won’t grow much more, but I may regret not moving them to 10 gallon. I suppose I can always move them again. All in all, good week with a couple rain showers and lots of sun. Happy growing!

I gave one of the plants away since I was over my limit. This one seems to be doing well, even with neglect while I was out of town this weekend.

She is growing taller, not very thick. Hopefully she will start getting a bit thicker in the coming weeks. It is amazing how different my two clones look since they have grown up with the exact same conditions. Added some Big Bud to the mix. Time will tell!

As the days are growing shorter, she is starting to plump up a bit. After a nice long rain, she really looks happy. Another half week of “Big Buds” and then just regular nutrients. My attempt at re-vegging caused a strange affect. The two clones are making leaves with just three fingers. Although I wish they had begged longer a d grown a bit more, I see that they will do what they want. I am still happy with them, and looking forward to seeing how she finishes.

The days are cooler and the plants seem like they are putting a lot of effort into budding. The buds are a lot plumper than last week. She is much more thirst these days. We had the house pressure washed, and some kind of cleaner dripped in this girl. Hopefully she will recover. Just waiting a

With the cleaning solution splashed on her, I think she is nearly done. I’ve decided to put everyone on 2 weeks of clear water and prepare to harvest.

This poor plant is really hanging in there, but after the cleaning solution dripped on, she hasn’t really recovered. The buds are looking good, though, and she has gotten frostier. The weather has been wet and stormy, and bugs are relentless. This weekend may be harvest week just because the stress of it all. Harvest day so I added a couple more pictures for posterity.

Not a lot to tell yet - I think I overdried. It is curing now.
