Howdie and welcome to my 2024 winter run! The run should be finished by the end of january and since this is usually the time of the year when the mood swings hit the hardest, i want to grow some more indicaheavy stuff. So hopefully I'll have the perfect weed to fight off the grey winter vibes when they hit the hardest.
Thats why choose to run KmintZ and GMOxZombie Kush from Ripper Seeds in this grow. I only heard good things about KmintZ and the GMOxZombie Kush was a freebie and sounds pretty stoney. So like a perfect "cozy sunday"-weed.
The strains also seemed to be a good match because they should have a similar flower time and are both very different in (advertised) flavours. While the GMOxZombie Kush should be more grassy/lavender, the KmintZ should have more of the tropical flavors. At least it seems like that on paper. Somehow you gotta decide which beans to run next, right? So these are our two contenders for this run:
π±π±
GMO x Zombie Kush
Indica dominant
Indoor flowering 60 to 65 days
GMO x Zombie kush is one of our most resinous cookie hybrids from our limited editions. Flowers of medium size but of great hardness with slightly purple or very dark tones.
AND
KMINTZ
Indica dominant
Indoor flowering 60 to 70 days
The feeling this year is KmintZ. In this crossing of Zkittlez x Kush Mint we have improved the lack of weight in the flowers and enhancing the effect of the Zkittlez.

I'm curious how it'll turn out and i'm pumped as always at the start of a run. For germination I soaked three beans each in water for 20 hours and planted them into the starters. I try to not let them dry out and let them chill in the tent with lights on at 20%. It got stable 23-24Β° and a humidity of 50-60%. When they pop i'll install the humidifier.
I plan on running 4-5 plants this time. So if we hit a 66% germination rate we'll be golden, if its more we'll keep 5 plants max. Lets go π€π±ππ
@cheech87, Thank you so much buddy!π±ππ Ripper Seeds for sure is worth a try (the photoperiods, the autos not so much)! Well and except their "Sour Ripper"... I'm beyond unlucky with these beans, but one day i'll successfully grow them ππ
@Qutro, Thank you buddy! But as i wrote to @Natrona, i am a absolute beginner when it comes to mainlining. Until now the survival rate is 50/50. I hope i'll come out of this run with a positive percentage ππ±ππ
Looks just good so far, they look healthy. Everything holds better with duct tape. πͺ
I train my plants exactly so that I will have 8 main lines later. The symmetrical aspect is always very important to me... this time I only broke off one branch with 8 plants hehe.
Your plants will look gorgeous when you're back π
@Schnabeldino, Thank you buddy! Yeah i'm still learning a lot, but i think 8 colas should be a sweet spot. π I broke a lot this run, but hey at least i'm learningππ±ππ
@Sour_D, No way buddy! You know your plants! I cut them today and they seem to take it pretty good as far as i can tell. I'm think its not "superior" to topping/lst but a fun techniqueππ±ππ
@Hologram, Thaaank you Holo! I just changed my mainline plans yesterday. I'm gonna do a very classic version this time because i thought i had a good idea. (My spontanious cannabis infused ideas are not always the best, but we'll see how it plays out! π Much love! π±ππ
@Hologram, Hahaha big bowla are the best sleeping medicine! I also got a mighty+ and a tiny might 2. Love them both dearly! But i need to look into upgrades like the waterbubbler. Or an adapter to use the vape with the bong. π
yeah party hardy π€ π @Herbie101, i mostly use the mighty plus (with waterbubbler) and a big vaporizer (i have a small clip of that in diary dosido and runtz)that big one has a big bowl so u can imagine if i fill it!! π€π€π€ ( and i doπ..at nightπ) and you?
@Hologram, Hahaha thank you so much! I'll join the celebrations π What vape are you using? I just made the switch from combustion a few weeks ago and am still figuring things outπ π±ππ
@Schnabeldino, Thank you for your trust buddy! you got more of it than i do π Nah i hope it'll be fine!
From my perspective Ripper is really worth a try. Only their "Sour Ripper" is testing my patience π π
@Hologram, My thanks holo! Yeah the grow pretty fat leaves already, but as long as they don't grow sideways too much i guess i'm fineππ π±πππ
Plant are looking great buddy! Nice that you're going to mainline them, will be watching closely as I'm thinking about doing this in my next run. Good luck and happy growing βοΈβοΈπ
@Zengrower, Be my guest and thank you so much buddy! Yeah i'm in no hurry this run because the stash is filled nicely, so i can easily "afford" a longer run. And i think the technique is really fun to do! Happy growing buddy π±ππ
