Zengrower Another round with Seedstockers seeds! 🌱 Initially, I picked this strain just because I liked the name, but after reading more about it, I’m really glad I did! Not only does it produce big, shiny buds, but it also boasts a THC percentage of up to 30%. Whether I’ll hit that mark depends, of course, on genetics, feeding, and the care I put into this grow.
I'm germinating three seeds and will select the strongest one to continue. As in previous grows, I’ll be using Plagron nutrients, which have consistently delivered great results in yield and flavor.
Here’s what Seedstockers has to say about this strain:
Rucu Cucu OG Auto is the autoflower version of the legendary Rucu Cucu OG, created in collaboration with Seedstockers friend Homer El Mero Mero.
This XXL autoflower results from crossing a selected Tangie pheno with one of the gassiest and most productive OG Kush Autos in the Seedstockers collection. After a long selection process, the OG Kush F5 was crossed with one of the biggest ruderalis plants in our gene pool. We specifically selected plants with minimal ruderalis traits to ensure big genetics, high THC levels, and a strong structure.
Big shoutout to Seedstockers for letting me try this amazing strain! Stay tuned for more pics and updates later this week.

Zengrower Nice! The seeds germinated within a few days, now it's time to pick a seedling for this round. I'll wait another day to see which seedling looks best.
🌿🌿🌿 Mid-week update 🌿🌿🌿
Allright, the first seed to pop also proved to be the most vital one of the bunch. I 'retired' the two remaining seeds and placed the other one in the final pot. I love growing in geotextile pots, it really improves the health of the soil and root system! The seedling looks happy in her new environment. I give small amounts of water during the day at this stage so she doesn't drown.

Zengrower Rucucucu looks happy in her 15L pot! Yesterday I increased the dimmer to 80%. I usually do this when the second pair of leafs start to grow to give her that extra boost. The soil has enough nutrients for 6 weeks so I only add some Power Roots and Sugar Royal at this stage.

Zengrower Rucucucu is picking up speed and showing vigorous daily growth. New side branches are steadily emerging, shaping her into a nicely compact and bushy structure. At this rate, LST won't be necessary—her natural shape is already excellent . We'll keep an eye on how she develops during flowering, but so far she's looking promising!

Zengrower Rucucucu OG is showing the first signs of bloom ✌️
To support her during this stage, I’ve added a small dose of Alga Bloom and Power Buds to the mix. The Plagron Allmix soil still holds plenty of nutrients, so I’m keeping additional feeding minimal.
She’s looking incredibly healthy, with a dense and bushy structure. Beneath the canopy, plenty of side branches are developing nicely—they still have time to grow and will provide solid bud support in the coming weeks.
I’m keeping a close eye on the grow light, making sure it stays as close to the canopy as possible without causing stress. Seedstockers recommend 20 hours of light for this strain, which speaks to her resilience. However, I’ve chosen to stick with 18 hours per day (a girl needs her beauty sleep, right?), and she’s absolutely thriving.

Zengrower This has been one of the easiest autoflower grows I’ve had so far. She’s staying short and bushy with zero training — just doing her thing naturally. As you can see, the side branches are filling out every inch of the G-Tools space. The main cola is stacking up beautifully, and the buds on the side branches are bulking up more each day.
She’s definitely getting thirstier as she grows — I’m watering her at least three times a day now to keep up. If everything stays on track, we’re heading for a massive harvest in just a few weeks ✌️☘️ Stay tuned for more pics and updates 😃

Zengrower The buds on Rucucu Cucu are getting fatter by the day! As they swell up, the aroma is becoming more intense — a strong, sweet bubblegum scent with a spicy undertone. If everything keeps going well, this is shaping up to be an excellent smoke.
The plant is growing so vigorously that I had to remove some leaves to give the lower buds more light and space. The main cola has stopped stretching and is now packing on some serious weight. Meanwhile, the side branches are still competing for the spotlight and are developing some impressive flowers of their own.
One lovely surprise: some beautiful purple hues are starting to show up in the bigger buds — totally unexpected, but definitely a nice bonus ✌️☘️
That’s it for now. Stay tuned for more pics and updates — and as always, happy growing! 😃

Zengrower The buds are looking great! Lots of purple on the sugarleafs and buds. The main cola is growing a bit slow this week, but you can see the buds on the side branches are growing fatter by the day. The smell is strong bubblegum with some spicy herbs in the background 😋.

Zengrower This lady is almost ready for harvest ✌️ Trichomes are mostly milky and the smell is really strong. She's so beautiful that it's almost a shame to chop her 😊😅
I had no expectations form this plant. I started this one because I liked the awesome name but boy it kept amazing me. First the plant developed a beautiful bushy structure without any training. When the buds started to grow the smell was intense and sweet. Finally in the few weeks before harvest the plant developed a beautiful purple shade which intensified every day, creating a beautiful spectacle inside the growbox.

Zengrower This plant looked so beautiful it was a pity to cut her down. But then again, every phase in life has it's end 😉 Looking at the trichomes this plant is harvested at it's peak and I'm curious about the effects after smoking. The buds on this monster plant were fist sized and covered in trichomes. I'm going to pay extra attention to curing the buds as this promises to be an amazing smoke 💨. Thanks for following along and for the uplifting comments 🙌 I'll share my smoke report as soon as the buds have dried
