Runtz - Eternity Grow Cup 🌱

🌱 Runtz - Week 1 Update 🌱 The journey has officially begun, and I’m thrilled to report that everything is off to a smooth start! The seeds germinated quickly and showed no issues breaking through the soil. Healthy and vigorous growth is already visible, which is always an encouraging sign. The seedlings are now standing strong, with their first leaves fully open and soaking up the light. It’s exciting to see this strain already showing its potential! Looking forward to seeing how they progress over the next week. Wishing all the growers in this competition continued success with their own grows! Let’s keep pushing 🙌

🌱 Runtz - Week 2 Update 🌱 The second week of growth is well underway, and so far, the Runtz seedlings are showing great potential, despite a small hiccup earlier in the week. 🌿 This week started with a bit of a scare when I noticed something unusual with my Root Juice fertilizer—it had gone bad, with white spots floating inside, resembling mold. I had already applied it a few times during the first week, which led to some concerns about the soil's health. I took quick action by removing the top layer of the soil and replacing it with fresh soil mixed with mycorrhiza. To combat any lingering issues, I watered the plants with a solution of Clean Soil and Cannazym to cleanse the medium and support root health. Thankfully, the Runtz plants didn’t seem to be affected negatively—they’ve maintained steady growth and appear happy and healthy! It’s a relief to see their resilience. Looking forward to wrapping up Week 2 with bigger, stronger plants and setting the stage for explosive growth in the coming weeks! Grow Conditions (Week 2): 🌞 Light schedule: 18/6 🌱 PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s (by week’s end) 💧 VPD: ~1.0 kPa 🌟 Thanks for following along. Let’s keep the momentum going! 💪

🌱 Runtz - Week 3 Update 🌱 This week, I switched from Root Juice to Plagron Power Roots, and the plant has fully recovered from the early setback with the expired root stimulator. Now, it's growing strong and healthy! 🚀 ✅ Transplanted into a 5L pot ✅ Stable conditions – VPD is holding steady at 1.0 - 1.1. ✅ Plan for the week – continued training and gradually increasing PPFD. Grow Conditions (Week 3): 🌞 Light schedule: 18/6 🌱 PPFD: 500 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.0 kPa Runtz is picking up speed! 💪🔥 Excited to see how it develops in the coming weeks.

This plant is an absolute powerhouse! 💪🌿 Strong structure, vibrant growth, and an impressive number of side branches make it a joy to cultivate. Despite its compact size and short intermodal spacing, training has been easy, allowing for a well-shaped canopy. After 31 days of veg, this beauty is ready to shine! Grow Conditions (Week 4): 🌞 Light schedule: 18/6 🌱 PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.1 kPa She has built a solid foundation, and I’m expecting some amazing flowers in the weeks to come.

🌸 Runtz - Week 1 of Flowering 🌸 🌿 Genetics: Gelato x Zkittlez ⏳ Flowering time: 8–9 weeks 🔥 THC: Around 27% 🌈 Effects: A balanced mix of euphoric uplift and deep relaxation, perfect for both creative moments and evening chill. 🍬 Aroma and flavor: Sweet, fruity candy notes with tropical and creamy undertones. This plant has completely stolen my heart! ❤️ The structure is absolutely stunning - beautifully forming flowers and an abundance of side branches make this one truly special. The way it's shaping up already has me excited for the weeks ahead! The first week of flowering went perfectly under great conditions, and I couldn’t be happier with how she looks at this stage. At the start of the week, I performed lollipopping to ensure that lower branches, where less light reaches, don’t take away energy from the top canopy. Now, she can focus all her strength on producing some buds! Grow Conditions (FLO Week 1): 🌞 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 PPFD: 750 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.2 kPa Let’s see what week 2 brings! 🚀🔥

🌸 Runtz - Week 2 of Flowering Update 🌸 This plant continues to impress me! 💜 The structure is beautiful, and it’s growing strong with a healthy appetite. I can already see the first signs of fading, which tells me it's hungry for more nutrients. Everything is progressing smoothly, and I’m really happy with how it looks at this stage. For the last feeding, I gave it Plagron Terra Bloom with an EC of around 1.3. The plan moving forward is to maintain stable conditions around 1.2 VPD until the first signs of frost appear on the buds. Regular feeding will continue, keeping EC above 1.0 to support healthy flower development. Grow Conditions (FLO Week 2): 🌞 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 PPFD: 750 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.2 kPa Can’t wait to see how it stacks up in the coming weeks! 🔥

🌸 Runtz - Week 3 of Flowering 🌸 Everything is going according to plan! 🌿 I’m keeping stable conditions – 25°C temperature, 60% RH, so a VPD is around 1.3. The plant looks healthy and strong, producing a lot of white pistils, which is a great sign of proper development. As for trichome production, it could be a bit heavier, but I’m patiently waiting – Runtz still has time to show its full potential. Watering is done every two days, with around 1L of water mixed with nutrients. This week, I started adding Green Sensation in low doses to fully meet the plant’s phosphorus and potassium needs, which are essential for the flowering stage. Grow Conditions (FLO Week 3): 🌞 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 PPFD: 750 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.3 kPa Now, it's just a matter of time before it starts frosting up nicely! Can’t wait to see how it stacks up in the coming weeks! 🔥
