Yooooo, what's up guys! I'm so happy to be back with another round of fine ass diaries with some fiyah genetics. this season we'll rock some banger US genetics like Cookies, Sherbinskis, Compound Genetics but also some European high quality stuff from Dutch Passion, Divine seeds, Sensi Seeds in collab with Sherbinskis and RQS. I'm eager to show you these genetics in the best light possible so be prepared and follow because it's about to go down fast. I'm in the middle of 7th week of this grow season, so I'll bulk upload several weeks. I'd also would love to give a big shout out to Xpert Nutrients and BioTabs for their full nutritional support again, I love both of these companies. They make my grow live sooo much easier because each of them has outstanding performing fertilizers in their respective niche, BioTabs - organic (for my soil life) and Xpert Nutrients - synthetic (for all my hydroponics). I need to give an extra shout out to Xpert nutrients because I've had my biggest automatic plant harvest a few months ago of a whooping 400g of dry goodness packed with lots of trichomes! Okay last but not least, I'd love to thank my other sponsors this run, namely RQS for their support year after year! And a new one, this time a special one, the Urban Chili! Their newest growbox, the Urban Chili 3.0 is a premium and stylish growbox made out of wood and its manufactured in Austria. It has everything a stealthy grower will ever want in their life, great and efficient lights, it's super quite and most importantly NO SMELL!!! It's crazy how they managed to pull that off. I'll be sharing my growing experience with 2 RQS genetics in this growbox. So without any further ado, I present to you my contest entry from Dutch Passion, the Melonade Runtz. I'm running this one in hydro. I strongly believe to be able to deliver commercial grade photography again, so stay tuned because this is about to get as beautiful as it gets :D LET'S GOOOOOO!

Hi guys, this plant is around 10 days after germination. I've put it into hydro as soon as it was possible. The vigor is outstanding. I always love it when a plant turns out very vigorous in comparison to the rest. Very exciting time is ahead of us! See ya next time! XOXO Cremo

What's up guys! So, during the week, I've performed several toppings to this plant. We had slight issues with the amount of fertilizers (because all these plants are in the same res and each plant has its own needs). But nothing we couldn't handle. What I love about a hydro setup is, that the plants recover from stress extremely fast! Something that takes a week in soil, takes a day or two in hydro, that's why I love to train in several ways. Good. BTW. First pistils came out, which means that she's about to switch. XOXO Cremo

[5th week] Hi guys, The Melonade Runtz has some outstanding genetics. The vigor is crazy, the flowering stretch exploded and it's growing like crazy. Everything looks like the final yield should be pretty good, and faster than expected :D. I did a rather heavy defoliation and have put a scrog net over the plant to maximize the light exposure. That's it for now guys! See ya soon! XOXO Cremo

[6th week] Hi guys, with the Lemonade Runtz at her new home, I'll take advantage of all the space I can give her, even though there's another one that needs to sit in the corner for now. The size of the plant is bonkers at this stage. DISCLAMER: I can't delete week 4, 5 and 6 because of an error on the site, these weeks are just copies of the third aka first flowering week. So essentially, the plant is just 6 weeks old by that time. This is crazy how great the genetics of this plant are. I'm really amazed, and it's also because of the banger Xpert Nutrients! I love to use their products, and I love the collab each time! Thank you guys, again, for providing me with such great nutrients!!! XOXO See ya next time! Cremo

[7th week] Hi guys, another week went by, the flowering stretch has come to an end it seems. the bud sites are starting to form larger clumps. I love this stage, I shall only do some minor defoliations from now on to provide as much light as possible. Can't wait for the final week to finally take her to the studio and start shooting her! See ya next time! XOXO Cremo

[8th week] Hi guys, another small update, it seems that the flowering stretch is still going on because she also gets bigger and bigger, just like I like it ;) Not much to report, just so snips here and there. I'm proud of the multiple topping that made it become a monster :D See ya next time! XOXO Cremo

[9th week] Hi guys, here's a quick update on the Melonade Runtz. Due to the lack of time I couldn't exchange the whole reservoir with fresh water and good cleaning of the whole res which resulted in a slight burning of some leaves. Nevertheless, the buds fatten up and they look great. The smell is LOUD already! That's going to be a good one for sure, can't wait for the final week to arrive :D See ya next time XOXO Cremo

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, we've finally arrived at the end! The last week is done, and I can happily take her to the studio, and do my thing! I love to take time to select the best cuts that will make it to the studio for a proper photoshoot. People that have been following along might've noticed that I select the best looking branches, then I take time to manicure them so they'll appeal best in front of the camera. And then I take hundreds of photographs just to be later able to stack them together to get the most sharp images before I develop them to deliver beautiful photographs for your and my pleasure. When I take photographs of my plants, I want to give them my respect in form of portraying them in the best light possible. I want to ensure that the viewer will be able to see the plant in best light possible because I took a lot of care of them over the last months and on one hand I want to remember them looking back at those photographs and I hope you can also see and understand that too. Thank you for your time. XOXO Cremo PS: If you like any of these photographs, I have all of them in much higher quality, just hit me up in the DMs @DutchPassion ;)
