My last runtz seed of the 5 I was sent 2 died in seedling stage when I was away. One did not germinate and number 4 the shell did not fall off and it killed the seedling. S this number 5 is gonna get all the love. She was soaked for 10 hours then placed into a wet paper towel until I had a 2cm tap root. This was placed into a tiny pot of light mix to make roots.. So far so good.

The last of my runtz has taken off okay. She is sitting happy in her little pot praying to the light gods. I've switched the lamp to a ISH 265 to finish begging as the 2 X bars I have are just too much wasted photons to get the ppfd I want for such a small area. Just sipping water for now but I think as soon as I have a good root system I will get her potted up on the biotabs water only system in 11 litre airpot. Temps are 22c constant and Rh is sitting between 60-65%.

Looks like the lucky little runtz has made it. I'm confident she will grow big and strong. In an ideal world I would repot her this weekend into her final 11l airpot but again I'm away working. Barcelona this time but it does mean I need my good wife to care for her this next week. I'm hoping the lightmox has a bit of Gogo juice in her as only water this week. When I get back she will get put into a fresh pot and her first npk feed. I'm still unsure about if I use biotabs or green buzz for this one. As I need to use the green sensation flowering product I don't want to mess up the biotabs water only schedule so maybe best I do a more conventional greenbuzz nutrients regime.. Environment is a steady 22c and 60ish % on Rh. That's all this week. Pop back next week to see if she makes it.😂🤞🏼

was away working again so missed a week. Just before I left I repotted into 11l air pot and started up the biotabs just add water method. This involved amending my lightmox peat free up to a 50/50 ratio of perlite. It comes as a 70/30. To this I mixed in 50g of Startrex and spent 10 minutes mixing it all up well. This was used to fill my pot leavinga hole I used an empty nursery pot as the template hole.2 biotabs fertilizer tablets are pushed 5cm into the substrate. The hole gets 5g of Mycotrex sprinkled inside then we transplant. The pot is then watered with 1l of tap water mixed with 1g of bactrex. I did not add any silicon flash to my substrate as it is already lightly pre fertilised and I did not want to burn her. When I was away my dearest wife dumped a load of water on her and drowned the poor thing almost to death. I'm having no luck with the runtz... However after some tlc over a week I have got her back to growing at least. She really has not changed in 12 days the poor thing. When I got back she was yellow and droopy with no life left. But now she has gone green again and has started to show signs of growing. As long as I keep an eye on her now I'm back she should pull through the last 2 weeks with not too much baggage.. Temps are at 24c and RH at 50%.

Runtz is filly recovered from her stress and is back to growing and being happy. It took nearly 10 days to sort the overly watered substrate out but now when is happy again and showing good health. Just adding untreated tap water environment is spot on lights at 60%.. Only issue I see coming is I need to flip the room to flower soon and my runtz won't be ready for that. So maybe need to set a tent up in the house... That's all. 💚🌿🇬🇧
