Harry_Pothead For the first time, I'm working with seeds that are really cheap. 4.29€/seed is quite a statement.
I decided to cultivate this strain for the following reasons:
- Price
- Curiosity (in my 15 years of growing experience, I've always used high-quality seeds. There have always been phenotypes that left something to be desired. Whether there are fantastic phenotypes among very cheap seeds is the question I want to answer for myself.)
- Autoflowering (It's actually still too early for the balcony greenhouse season. I have the option to bridge cold days and nights indoors under a lamp. I'm expecting a not-perfect light exposure rhythm.)
- Knowledge gain (I have little experience with autoflowers so far)
- High THC (according to the manufacturer)
- Short life cycle (according to the manufacturer)
I'm expecting:
- A medium germination rate
- Small plants with correspondingly low yield
Let’s grow!

Harry_Pothead It's been 13 days since germination.
Two of the seedlings had burn marks on the leaf tips of the first leaf pair from the LED. The other strains didn't have this issue, and I was a bit surprised it happened so quickly...
I need to slowly decide which three young plants I have to cull. Due to the legal situation in Germany and the fact that I started three strains, I can only choose one...
The choice I've made is commented on in the photos.
... It's actually one of those that had a burn.
So far, the weather has been bad, and the plants have been more under artificial light than under the sun. But a sunny phase is supposed to come in a few days.
Also, the waxing moon starts tomorrow.

Harry_Pothead Tag 20 since germination - 19 cm
The weather was great for the girls last week, and the Forbidden Runtz Auto XL grew a total of 15 cm in 7 days (from 4 cm to 9 cm).
I didn't have to do much, just water them and bring them inside overnight.
Grow on!

The growth is okay, I would say (11.5 cm in 7 days).
I've discovered suspicious traces on the lowest sun leaves (photo). It could be the first signs of thrips. They always show up sooner or later for me, but I've always managed the situation with beneficials. The predatory mites are already on their way to their new home.

Harry_Pothead Still hasn't turned into a nicer phenotype 😅
Harry_Pothead … When she stood in the sun on a very sunny day, she suffered slight burns. Unfortunately, the smell is not very enticing. The aroma is spicy and earthy, I would say. I think she is now ready, and next I would be harvesting the buds.
Harry_Pothead The structure of the buds is very airy, and I removed a lot of leaves. In the end, only 11 g of dry weight was left.
Hopefully, the aroma will get a bit better. It smells spicy.
All in all, I wouldn't cultivate this strain again.
@Momentum,
Heyy, do you bring your Dwarfs inside to the warm overnight?
If not, your grow will be even more interesting to me, but it's interesting either way ;)
@Harry_Pothead, I will start them indoors for about 2.5 weeks and then move them outside in May, keeping them outside overnight as well. The biscotti for sure, it's a 120L pot.
Great selection, I couldn't throw away any sprouted seedlings, you probably gave them away...😉
And for the plants, the moon's high and low phases are more important than the full and new moon 🌒✌️😎
