Yesterday I started my first grow. I am using Runtz Auto from Zamnesia, because it is a good starter for newbies. I just have very little room for growing (60×60×120 cm), so I decided to use just one seed and LST/Scrog. I plant the seed directly into the pot, because I have read that this is the right way for an automatic flower. I use a choped bottle to substitute a greenhouse. I am growing "low budget", because it is my first time and I dont want to spend much money. The soil is Biobizz-Light Mix. I used about half a 20 L pack.

One week has past since I put the seed in the earth. I water the plant as soon as the earth feels dry (not completly dried out). I just use about 100-200ml water (because I don't want to "drown" her). My lamp is at 50% because it seems to be a little to intense for the small seedling at 100%. UPDATE: My first mistake Found out that the leafs of my seedling rolled up, because the light was too intense for the young plant. So I put my light again on 25% (around 6.200 Lux). I have read that a seedling just can take light between 5.000 and 7.000 Lux. My lamp was around 18.000 to 19.000 lux! So I am very glat, that I haven't killed my plant 😅

My plant revocerd pretty good from the light-burn. The new leafs are looking healthy. The young plant is still to small for fertilizer. I want to start use Biobizz Grow when she is around 13 cm tall. I let the fan run many hours per day to strengthen her stem and make her tough for LST. Update: She has developed 4 real leafes and is about 12 cm tall, so I decided to start use 1 ml Biobizz Grow per litre water. I want to use the suggested 2ml as soon as her leafes have developed a little bit further.

My plant is growing pretty well. She has developed many new nodes, since I used fertilizer last wednesday. I want to top her next wednesday or so, becuase of my limited tent-height. I also put the light from 14 DLI to 20 DLI. I want to increase the intensity every day a bit more to let her slowly adapt. Edit: I rotated her so that she can absorb light evenly and therefore grow evenly. Update 08.04.24: Some roots have reached the surface, so I decided to cover them with some new soil. I also decided to top her today and bend some of her leafes down. Update 09.04.24: I actually didn't want to start LST until next week. The topping is actually intended to strengthen the growth of the secondary branches, but a few of these branches received little light. That's why I decided to start with LST now and continue to enable the growth of the secondary branches.

I trained her pretty much in the last week with LST. I also constantly trim her leafs and cut off fan-leafes to improve the airflow and to let the lower branches get more light. Update 18.04.2024: Yesterday I cut off a few fan-leafes. I want to improve the airflow and I hope that the plant got more energy for growing branches because of that (I thought it would might work like lollipopping). I also turned the pot because one twig is significantly smaller than the others and I want even branches.

She shows the first signs of flower, I have found some hairs. I started to use 0,5 ml/L BioBizz Bloom and Biobizz Top Mix additional to my 1ml/l Biobizz Grow. The most branches are getting trained with LST. I am pretty Happy with the outcome right now. Hopefully I can start to use a Scrog-net next week :) Update 22.04: I cut a few leafes off and did some LST. I try to bend some branches in every direction to fill out my tent as much as possible.

I lowered the temperature by opening the window in my growing room for a few hours at night. I increased the amount of fertilizer to the suggested amount from Biobizz. I also cut off a few "buds" and leafs. Did some LST and bend some branches like crazy. I try to get a very even cannabis-plant with an even hight. Update 07.05: I tried to do some lollipoping. Hope that the main-buds will now get more energy. If nothing changes in a few days, I will start to go on with trimming. I decided to cut off the lowest branches from the tribe. It was a tough decision, but I think it was the right one.

Because some stems starting to get purple I stopped watering her dayly, so her routs can start to get more O². I think this was a terrible idea, because her leafes start to look yellow. I don't think that she got a light-burn, because I reduced the DLI to 30. I also didn't feed her with fertulizer so I don't think that she got a nutrient burn. The buds wouldn't get any bigger and she doesn't develope any smell.

I increased the fertilizer so that the still small flowers can continue to develop. Unfortunately I was only able to partially solve my problem with the yellow leaves. A few have recovered and turned green again, but new yellow leaves have also appeared in other places. Also, my exhaust fan broke and is now making very loud noises. I have ordered a new one, but it will take a while before it is delivered.

I put her on a box and put my lamp higher, so that she still gets around 40 DLI and that on the ground is a level of round about 15 DLI. I did this, so that I can use the tent for the first weeks of Veg. from my NL outdoor grow. I increased the amound of fertulizer and the yellow leafes are completly disappeared. Also the buds are growing much bigger. I am very happy with her right now.

The buds are getting really leafy and big! I don't know if that much new little green leafes in flowering are a good sign, but I am happy as long as she is growing bigger. I am going to increase the amound of top max this week.

I removed all of the LST strings, to let her grow more freely in her last week. She looks amazing and i am very happy with my first grow. I will harvest her next week or the end of the week. I won't do flushing, because I only use organic fertilizer and want her to grow till her last day. Some crazy Things are happening right now. She ist growing new buds on her buds! I decided to give her another extra week, just to see how this experiment will turn out.

I harvest her today and got 396,39g wet flower! I am super happy with my first grow! The LST and topping was a wonderful combination. I couldn't weight all together, because I didn't have a big enough bowl to fit all. Update: I got 88,02g weed after drying. Update: After trimming I got 61,39g left. With the 26,63g Trim i am going to make ice Hash.

Ohje, du hast täglich gegossen? Wieso das denn? Fast überall wo ich mich informiert hatte hieß es einmal Erde sättigen und dann trocknen lassen bis es fast wieder das Ausgangsgewicht von vorher erreicht hat. Nichtsdestotrotz wirklich schöne Pflanze, ich hoffe du hast ihre Wurzeln nicht zu krass gestresst.

@Doc_Homegrow, tienes tiempo para arreglar esto, no te rindas!
Doc_Homegrow
Doc_Homegrowcommented10 months ago
@Mike_269, Am Anfang natürlich nicht. Habe sie höchstes alle 2-3 Tage gegossen. Irgendwann hat sie die Menge dann aber schon an einem Tag fast verbraucht. Ein Kollege hat mir dann empfohlen täglich zu gießen, wenn sie es augenscheinlich braucht. Der Boden war an der Oberfläche auch immer recht trocken wenn ich gegossen habe, aber anscheinend noch feucht im inneren. Danke dir. Ja das hoffe ich auch, bin einfach gespannt was wird aber habe mittlerweile nicht mehr so wirklich viel Hoffnung. Naja nächster Grow wird besser.

@Mike_269, Ja, brand neu. Ich habe aber leider den Karton weg geschmissen und beim abdichten Panzerband benutzt. Kann also nh Umtausch knicken. Danke dir, finde auch, dass die viel besser aussehen. Ich werde sie auch mindestens eine Woche länger in der Erde lassen und hoffe so noch ein wenig mehr Blütenwachstum zu bekommen.

Hola amigo! Tu planta tiene una estructura espectacular, diría que tienes una carencia de magnesio aparente, un poco de calcio también y quizás que algo de Nitrógeno. Podrías usar humus de lombriz o quizás un té de compost para aportar algunos micro nutrientes de manera natural. Asegúrate que ella esté alimentándose suavemente hasta la cuarta semana desde el inicio de la floración! 💚🤜🤛
Doc_Homegrow
Doc_Homegrowcommented10 months ago
@MiyaguiOkPolilla, ¿Qué pasa amigo? Mi español no es muy bueno, así que escribiré en inglés, lo siento. Thank you, I love her structure. I would buy worm humus for my next run, but I think it would not be delivered fast enough for her. Thanky you very much for your advise! 💚 I try to get her nutritions fixed and stay as natural as possible

Schönes Mädel, richtig viele Seitenzweige, LST sieht echt gut aus. Zeigt sie schon Zeichen von Blüte oder noch nicht? Müsste ja jetzt so langsam so weit sein, dass sie in die Blüte geht, bist ja schon in der 5. Woche insgesamt
Doc_Homegrow
Doc_Homegrowcommented10 months ago
@Mike_269, Danke :) Das Entlauben hat auch gefühlt nochmal richtig die Bildung der Seitentriebe gefördert. Ich versuche mal heute Abend ein Update hochzuladen. Habe aber immoment viel zu tun und komme daher leider kaum dazu etwas zu posten. Nope, von Blütephase ist noch keine Spur zu sehen. Gehe davon aus, dass die Blüte Ende dieser Woche/Anfang nächster Woche losgeht. Bei anderen Grows hier im Forum zu Runtz beginnt die Blüte auch meist zwischen der 4. und 5. Vegi-Woche.

Das Baby sieht richtig gut aus! Jetzt mit der Hälfte des empfohlenen Wertes Dünger zu nutzen ist sehr sinnvoll, ich würde nur vorsichtig sein denen wirklich die vollen 2ml/L zu geben, die Werte sind für mega gesunde und CO2 begaste Pflanzen optimiert, Autos brauchen und vertragen so schon nicht so viel Dünger wie Photos. Du weißt ja, Dünger rein kriegt man immer einfacher als raus. Ein Nutrientlock gerade in der Veg ist echt nicht so gut was den späteren Ertrag angeht.
Doc_Homegrow
Doc_Homegrowcommenteda year ago
@Mike_269, Danke dir :) Ich kann es auch kaum glauben, dass sie die Verbrennung so gut weg gesteckt hat. Dann wird sich dein "Fehler" beim Umtopfen auch 100 pro nichtmehr bemerkbar machen 👍 Ich habe eigentlich auch vor während des gesammten Grows nur 50% der Herstellerangeben zu verwenden um eine Überdüngung zu vermeiden. Werde lediglich in Woche 7 die volle Angabe zu Bloom und Top-Mix verwenden, wenn die Blüten noch zu klein sind. Um die CO² Werte etwas anzuheben, schaue ich 1 Mal am Tag etwas länger ins Zelt und atme dabei die Pflanze an (suche dabei dann auch immer nach Schädlingen oder Schäden). Habe gelesen das soll der Pflanze sehr helfen. Ist zwar suboptimal, da hierbei die Feuchtigkeit herunter geht, diese steigt jedoch nach ca. 20 min wieder auf 70% an. Ein Nutrienlock wäre echt furchtbar, habe aber auch von einem Grower gelesen welcher das schon ein paar mal bewusst angewendet hat, um das Wachstum in der Veg zu beschränken. Bin davon aber nicht allzu überzeugt und möchte eher Topping und LST anwenden um die limitierte Zelthöhe von 120cm zu kompensieren.

Hast du die Photone App? Wenn ja, kalibriere sie mit der Licht Chart deiner Lampe die man online finden kann und nutze die App künftig um deine Lichtmenge optimal einzustellen. Damit solltest du das Maximum aus deiner Runtz rausholen.

Gonna start a my first Grow with Runtz soon too, have fun growing, how big is your pot?
Doc_Homegrow
Doc_Homegrowcommenteda year ago
@Mike_269, Thank you, hope you also have much fun growing and wish you good luck 💚 I orderd 8 L pots, but as you can see on the picture, i didn't fill the pot completly. I used half of a 20 L Biobizz-Light Mix pack, so i guess that the pot is bigger than 8 L (would guess around 10-12 L). (For measurement: the plat under the pot got 35 cm diameter) Hope i could help you :) Hit me up if you got any other questions Edit: If you got much space for growing, use a large pot, because your plant could build up more roots and get bigger. If you got a small growing space (Same as me) than use a small pot, so that your plant doesn't get very high and to close to your lamp.
