Barneys Runtz Muffin Bl.Sunset Sherbert

Stony_German So far so good. 🙏 Both Runtz Muffin are a bit faster than the Blue Sunset Sherbert, which has a slight leaf mutation. I hope the next internodes develop normally. This can happen more often in the seedling stage, so no reason to worry. See you next week. #keep on growing 😎

Stony_German Unfortunately, the Blue Sunset Sherbert has a mutation. I'll give her a chance and see if the next leaves look better; otherwise, I'll give the 2 healthy Runtz Muffin ladies a longer veg time and fill the tent with the scrog net. See you next week.

Stony_German At the beginning of the week, I repotted the babies and today, on photo day, I did the topping. Dynomyco + Great White prevented any kind of transplant shock as always. Runtz Muffin has one pheno that grows wide and another that grows taller. The Blue Sunset Sherbert lady looks better and I'm glad I didn't cull her. I didn't top her, I want to see if I can spare her the high stress and shape her by bending. Otherwise, everything is going as usual without any special problems. Until next week, dear growmies. #keep on growing

Stony_German 10 days since the last report. Unfortunately, I over-fertilized my girls a bit. I halved the recommended dosage of Iguana Juice Grow from 2 ml/l and it was still too much. Once I identified that as a problem, I immediately transplanted them into 30l fabric pots and used clear pH 6.5 dechlorinated water. By the end of the day, they struggled for about 7-10 days. The lower fan leaves got rusty spots, but they recovered well and everything looks good again. It was my first Advanced Nutrients grow, and I just went a bit overboard. See you soon, friends.

Stony_German Thanks to an Alg-a-Mic from BioBizz, the ladies are back to a nice healthy green 👌 and no more signs of stress. The quick transplant into 30l fabric pots was the rescue. Since I only slightly overdid it this time, I know the dosage of Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice a bit better. I've used a shitload of fertilizers in my many years as a hobby gardener and have made worse mistakes. The Runtz Muffin#2 has one of the most beautifully perfect symmetrical growth forms I've seen so far. Since the Blue Sunset Sherbert has suffered the most, I didn't want to put her through topping, but I decided to do it yesterday anyway. I've never pruned a plant this late, so it'll be interesting to see how it looks in the end. So my dear friends and growmies, see you next week and #keep on Growing 😃😎

Stony_German Hello friends. Today is the first day of week 6 veg. I gave the ladies a lollipopping/defoliation so that the main shoots get better light. The scrog net is also set up to slowly shape them, and in about 2 weeks, we will start flowering with 12/12. The stretch should be moderate in the first weeks of flowering, but you never know. I'm not aiming for a perfect scrog. I'm harvesting enough as it is. Right after this high-stress event, my darlings received Bio Enhancer from Greenhouse Feeding Bio, some BioBizz Organic Cal-Mag, and BioBizz Algae-Mic, which they love. Since the 30L fabric pots still provide enough nutrients, Iguana Juice Grow from Advanced Nutrients is not needed yet. A tip for first-time users: with BioBizz Lightmix soil, you almost don't need to fertilize throughout the entire veg phase if the pots are 30L like mine. I think in week 7, I will cautiously start fertilizing for the first time with only 25% of the recommended 4ml/L. Aside from the unnecessary over-fertilization of the 1L pots instead of transplanting, everything is running easy. See you next week, dear growmies #keep on Growing

Stony_German Hello friends. Today marks the end of week 7, and tomorrow is the first 12/12. Now we hope that the stretch of the 3 ladies will be similar. The best time of the grow begins. VPD is averaging 1.51 and 55% humidity as the girls enter flowering. The most interesting part is that with 2x transplants from the solo cup into 3 liters and then into 30 liters, I didn't need any grow nutrients. However, I will stick with 20l factory pots. It was interesting to test, though. The Blue Sunset Sherbert has an internode that looks really strange, and unfortunately, the 2 branches won't have nice top buds, but I didn't want to cull them. From the Runtz Muffin, I have 2 phenos where one grows like an indica and the other typically shows hybrid traits, so let's see what happens. Until next week, my dear growmies 😎

Stony_German We are now 7 days into flowering and the stretch has begun. In the next 2 weeks, I'll be cutting a leaf here and there that darkens a shoot. The scrog is doing its job, but there are still corners that will surely be filled soon. Otherwise, everything has been without problems. VPD is averaging 1.4 kPa this week. It might be worth noting that a slightly smaller pot (20L would be perfect) makes more sense when using organic liquid fertilizers. The 30L was enough for the entire veg phase, which makes it a bit harder for me to estimate how much nitrogen is still there, so I've added a bit of Iguana Juice Grow to Iguana J. Bloom just to be safe. I feel better starting the nutrients 2 weeks before the 12/12. Until next week on day 14 of flowering. See you soon, dear growers, and as always #keep on Growing! 😎

Stony_German We are in week 2 and I really like the stretch. As usual, a Runtz Muffin is typically Indica. Less stretch, extremely bushy with very strong side branches. The other 2 show strong Sativa/Hybrid growth patterns. It won't be a perfect canopy again, but with some supercropping, these 2 have identical height. I won't complain if I have something in the evening for the typical couchlock and have to endure a movie for women with my wife. 😩😂 Plagron sent 2 test 50ml bottles to try for free. It’s supposed to work wonders during the transition phase. We’ll see, I’m always skeptical, but Plagron is a solid company whose Lightmix soil I used to like a lot. This is a newer product from the Additive series. I promised my former colleague to be fair with my judgment. Until next week, dear growers all over the planet. 😎

Stony_German First of all, have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by. Today marks the start of week 3. (Day 15 Bloom). Finally, the stretch has stopped and the first buds are forming. What's a bit unusual is that the mostly Indica Runtz Muffin is taking a bit longer to flower. In my experience, it was usually the exact opposite. First, a little self-reflection. I should have given a bit more nitrogen to my lady on the left in the picture during the second week of bloom. Even though it was just a small mistake, we all want the best for our girls. I can note about Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice that 2ml is a bit low for large plants, but be careful until week 4. The bloom fertilizer is well dosed at 4ml. The rhythm is Feed-Additives-pure Water and then again Feed-Additives-Pure Water. Right now, every girl drinks 3 liters every other day. The Blue Sunset Sherbert has 2 mutated side branches that bother me a bit, but all in all, everything is going well and I'm looking forward to the buds getting thicker that will grow now. To everyone who stopped by and every grower in the world, I wish you good luck with your girls. Until next weekend, much love from Germany. 😎

Stony_German High"llo my friends. Today is day 20 of flowering and the first buds have formed, and there are nice frost tips to see. I should have given my girls a bit more Iguana Juice Grow. It was the little shock from week 4 when I started a bit too early that made me anxious. I got 48h brewed compost tea from my buddy this week after I helped him with lollipopping. The girls accepted it gratefully. It's starting to smell too. I'll also remove all the shoots that can't reach the light this weekend. Due to the stronger stretch, I don't have to remove too many leaves, but we'll see. I'll add the new pictures to today's report in a few days. I'm not sure if the Plagron Power Buds are the cause, but the side shoots have developed very well. I want to stay fair as promised and not get too attached. Without a control group, I'll say for now, it doesn't hurt but it's also not "reinventing the wheel." I wish you all a stony weekend and see you soon. Your Stony_German😎. Photos upload after lollipopping 3 days later 😏

Stony_German So far so good. Except for one time watering being delayed by 2 days due to traveling and a sad sight upon return, everything is on cruise control. The buds from Runtz Muffin #1 are very stretched and should definitely produce nice long colas, hopefully also fat ones. Pheno 2 is producing frost like you could only wish for at this early stage. The scent is currently like the red Hubba Bubba gum. The Blue Sunset Sherbert is developing like the 2 girls in my last grow. The colors in this strain/cultivar are the most beautiful I've seen in 25 years of growing, no matter where. Very stable and great work from Barneys Farm. The Runtz Muffin couldn't be more different (the 2 plants in the foreground), which I have to rate negatively. I also have to admit that I didn't get along well with the nutrients, but I will get to know them better in the next grow. Until next week, dear grow buddies, and good luck with your ladies.😎

Stony_German Tag 35 Bloom and aside from the issues with dosing the nutrients correctly, the ladies are on a good path to finish flowering. I'm still expecting a good yield; the smell is fantastically sweet and gassy. I don't blame Advanced Nutrients, but this fertilizer needs to be used like other mineral fertilizers; it works immediately, which surprised me a bit. Next time, I'll know exactly how to handle it. It's tricky right now to see what the right dose is since I gave a bit too much too late. I prefer organic solid fertilizers, but I will use Advanced N. again next year. We all want the best for our girls, so I want to show everyone here that even a grower with 20 years of experience can still make mistakes, especially when trying out new nutrients. Don't give up; the mistakes are usually not dramatic, and you always learn from them.

Stony_German Tag 42 Bloom and everything is on Cruise Control. The buds are getting fatter and filling out. The smell is becoming more intense. The Runtz Muffin Girl smells very sweet, while the little one still has a sour scent. The Blue S.S. is still pure bubblegum, rather artificially sweet, not like any fruit. 😎 Wishing you all a good grow and have fun with this hobby!

Stony_German Everything on autopilot. The ladies are noticeably taking up less water. I've halved the nutrients so that a nice fading indicates the end of this journey. In 2 weeks, we'll be at 61 days of flowering, maybe a few days longer. The smells have now gained a lot more fuel and earthiness along with the sweetness. Exception is the B.S.S., which still smells like bubblegum. Thanks for stopping by.. All the best with your ladies. See you next week, Growmies 😎

Stony_German The buds are getting harder. I don't really like the bud structure of Runtz Muffin#1. The smell is very yummy though. Sweet and gassy. #2 is skunky, sharp, and gassy and smells more stinky. But I know these to be very potent. We'll see. The end of this journey should be in about 10 days. From today on, it's only water. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 😎😉.

Stony_German Tag 64 and the last week. The ladies got their last water today and will be harvested this weekend after 2 days of darkness. However, this journey wasn't very easy. Strong size differences and nutrients for 3 different needs at each feeding were very labor-intensive, and my VPD was off for a long time at up to 2.2, which is way too high. I bought a new humidifier, and I've only been at 1.5 for the last 2 weeks, so good conditions. The smell is sour, diesel, stinky, and absolutely unusual for the little one, but super frosty. The big ones are both very sweet. I'm looking forward to the smoke... Next week, the harvest photos will come. Until then, dear growmies. 😎

Stony_German Overall, 250 g of buds is okay, but no Runtz flavor. The small one is very stinky but very potent, though the big one has more flavor. I expected more from Barney's. Yield from the big one is mega, the small one is normal.

Stony_German I love Blue S.S. super hard buds and very sweet - gassy. Good producer.
