First time popping seeds. All three strains dropped in RO water with a little hydrogen peroxide on 8/22/2024 4:00PMEST.
All 3 popped and were moved to growing media on 8/24/2024 12:30PM EST I was concerned at first because the seeds wouldnt stay sunk in water. The Royal Runts was the slowest to pop and had the shortest root when buried
Update 8-26-2024 - THe Royal runt considering it barely had a root showing when planted is definitely pushing hard to meet the world. The Cherry AK so far is the beast of the 3, lets see fi it continues
Watered and moved to tent today. Cherry AK47 going strong. RR slowly getting there we will see how she does.
Propped up the seedlings, they looked like they stretched a little long.
9-6-2024 girls are looking good. Cherry is looking incredible. will be transplanting to their final containers this weekend
9-8-2024 Moved the girls to their final 3 gallon homes. Cherry is getting big and RR is cathing up considering she started out living up to her name as the runt of the girls. I also popped another of the Apples and bananas, germenated straight in dirt no soaking or papertowl. It took off much better, thought it was going to have a problem shedding its shell, but shes looking ok. Shes about a week behind, but thats the joy of the autoflower, no need to change form the 18/6 light so sh will be ok, just come in a little later
9-14-2024 End of Week 2. Cherry is looking incredible so far! Royal runts is still a little behind and living up to her name. The new A&B is coming along nicely in her cup.
9-22-2024 - Royal Runtz continues to grow up to become the lady she is and has started showing first signs of flowering. Cherry AK had a bit of an accidnt with LST right after my last post. Snapped most of her off. She is rebounding and not showing any signs of flower yet, so hoping she grows a little more. Apples and Bannanas has been going nice, about a week behind the other two but looking good, she was topped on 9-19-2024.
10-1-2024Apples&Bananas and CherryAK47 Keep trucking along.
Cherry has definitely rebounded well considering I broke the top 2/3 of her off a couple weeks ago. I did not expect this from here, but she started out as the beat of the crop so guess i shouldnt have been surprised. Shes starting to show the first signs of flowering
A&B has not been the fastest grower, but she keeps chugging along. she took another good LST this week and the sites just above the clip shot up quick after.
Royal Runtz is in full flower mode now. Will be top dressing again with more power bloom torwards end of this week beginning of the next.
10-3-2024 big change in Cherry, she decided it was time to flower. Shes a resilient girl. Really would log to see how big she would have been if i hadnt broke her, glad i have a few more seeds of hte strain. Will see if she does the same again
Apple&Bananas just started showing her movement to flowering. She will be in full bloom mode by end of weekend too
Topdressed Cherry and Royal Runtz today. Will topdress A&B this weekend
10-8-2024 - Top dressed and defoliated A&B this weekend. she is stretching and i think she will end up being tallest as of now(would have been Cherry but we know what happened there. A&B is at 22 inches tall and is a week younger that ther resst in this grow but same size as of now) Looking like 6 nice colas will be showing on her. all ehr branches i LSTed have stays about the same height and look to have the same structure starting.
Cherry is looking incredible. Two big main colas stretching to a nice 22 inches just watering here now when needed with 3 quarts every 3 days or so as needed.
Royal Runtz, wow what can i say. She pulled out ahead of the others about the time the Cherry accident happened. She is living up to her name at a short 18 inches, but a lot of nice flower sites filling in. If she continues i suspect either her or A&B will be the yield winner but lets wait and see it is still early. She is being watered with 3 quarts about every 3 days.
The top dressing info in teh weeks details are only for A&B. Cherry and RR had already had this round of top dressing. Next round will be in about 3 weeks. Then maybe one more, or nothing more depending on how they look. Its my first experience wiht auto flowers so now sure of the over all floweirng cycle time on avg.
10-9-2024 Noticed RR has started her trichome production. Also watered A&B and Cherry with 3 quarts
10-14-2024 Girls are going great!
Royal Runtz Has definitely peaked in height Shes only at 18 inches, so definitely the runt of the group, but her bud sites are the best looking and even of them all. Lets see how big her buds stack to see if she gets near her phenos data sheet. trichomes are starting to stack on pretty well.
Cherry continues to impress me every week. I thinks she has topped out at about 26 inches after her stretch. lets see how much se gains with flowering. Trichomes are in production with her
Apples&Bananas is coming in at about 24 inches and i think her stretch is done. couple of definitive canopy levels with her.trichomes are definitely starting to cover her more and more.
10-18-2024 - Thanks to all the great responses that there are no hermies.
Added some supplemental ionbeams to the tent with Royal runtz and Apples and bananas in.
RR is definitely getting sticky i noticed as i was positioning the lights. noticed a few of her pistils just starting to turning orange. Thinking another 2-3 weeks for her. Hoping she plumps up between now and then. She started stacking some on the tops.
Apples and Bananas is chugging along. shes starting to lighten up, almost makes me think mitrogen deficiency. have to investigate further.
Cherry Ak is definitely stacking on her top colas on teh two main stems.
Im sad, i think i have 3 hermies. Please see pics and confirm if im seeing what i think i am. could you please look at week 6 photos and confirm or deny.

10-30-2024 - Short on time Today, but wanted to get some pics up. Will put notes in later
Both Cherry and Royal I think are either ready to harvest or will be in next few days
They need at least 3 weeks still, some will need 5.
To scoop for maturity , you need to check bud, not any leaf, sugar leaf. Leaves trichs mature faster and can have ambers way earlier .
I would worry more about health of plants. Are you giving enough of slow release and do you water with right ph. ????
Still a bit to go till harvest, be patient !
11-9-2024 - All plants have been ben feing fed week 9 of the foxfarms feeding schedule for soil. The dry admendments didnt seem to be doing the job.
RR is going to be ready to harvest in mid next week seeing ~ 20% amber trichomes
Cherry is starting her trichom amber change, but guessing at elast a week before shes ready, smae with A&B although she might eb a little longer
RR was ready to come down. She has bee hangin now for a few days at 68F 58%RH
12-1-2024 - Ended up with 2.85oz in flower and 4g larf/leaves
Tcheck run on the flower. happy with it for my second grow
Cherry was definitely a hardy girl. she took my screwup and surpassed what i hoped from her before i broke her.
She weighed in at a nice 2.85oz of flower and 8g of larf/leaves. Made some mct oil out of her and Runtz scraps.
