Runtz Fem. Outdoor

GermanNoob Runtz is the slowest of the three

GermanNoob This is week 3. unfortunately I stunted the plant early on by trying to help the seedling out of the seed. I hope it will regain its strength. Will keep you updated

GermanNoob Growth is still very slow. New leafs look very weak and with deformations. My only hope is that it will recover soon from the „birth trauma“. Will keep you updated.

GermanNoob Finally some progress with the Runtz. To be fair - it has been way to cold in the beginning and the plants grew was stunted pretty bad. Last week has been warmer with more sun and it looks like the plant is producing first leafs without deformation. Last week I turned on the auto pots, which seemed like an immediate booster for the plant. I am considering mainlining with this one, because I don’t want it to get too high outdoors. Will keep you updated. As always feel free to comment or recommend something. Happy growing!

GermanNoob Last week was mostly bad weather, but the plant recovers very well. I started topping it (just the very tip of the plant) to minimize stress at this point. At this point I think it will get pretty big in the end. Unfortunately I had first signs of thrips. Will spray with neem oil the next days. Happy growing everyone!

GermanNoob Two weeks Vacation and the plant exploded. I couldn’t believe it when I came home. The plant quadrupled in size. I am almost afraid that it gets too big in the end haha Will keep you updated. Happy growing everyone!

GermanNoob Despite minimal efforts in care for the plant, it doubled in size yet again. Where will this go? I’m a bit concerned haha For now I am just enjoying the look of it and the visible progress every day. Maybe I will top again. Happy growing everyone!

GermanNoob Just a tiny bit of topping this week on the upper mainstems and a couple of side branches. Growth is insane. This one is going to be big haha. Other than that, not much happening. I am spraying neem every day, but the aphids don’t seem to care. Any ideas? Happy growing everyone

GermanNoob Continuous massive growth rate. No fertilization at the moment. The organic soil seems to provide enough nutrients. Due to the very bushy growth, I did a solid defoliation to enable better airflow. Aphids are getting better. Only a few left. I increased the neem oil dosage. I can’t wait for the flowers, but I think I have to be patient with this one. Happy growing everyone

GermanNoob Everything is just fine with this one. I am taking almost no care of it. No fertilizer, just ph 6.5 water! Every week I am spraying neem oil to keep the aphids away. Works like a Charme. Now it’s time to patiently wait for the flip and pray to the gods of weather that it’s going to be a dry fall. Happy growing 💚

GermanNoob I think I have said it before, but this is getting a little bit out of hand haha. As for the conditions: scorching heat, up to 40 degrees. In the sun it must have been 50C. I filled up the reservoir (45L.) every two days. It must have been the sativa side of the genetic that coped with the conditions without any problems at all. A little bit of discoloration of the lower leafs is starting to show, I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or because of deficiencies. Feel free to recommend something. The last picture is after the plant fell over during a heavy storm. Recovered pretty well. The reason for the update is that the plant is showing its gender now. First pistils are forming - she’s a female all right. Seems like she is screaming to being put into flower. I’m afraid we all have to wait a little longer. Will keep you posted

GermanNoob Hello everyone. After weeks of terrible weather and the nutrient problem to solve, I thought I’d give you an update. Thanks to the comments and with the help of AI I was able to find the problem: the plant had rooted through the whole substrate. So the nutrient uptake was blocked. Since I didn’t have a bigger pot for my system, I just topped up the bottom with soil and a little fertilizer. So far this worked perfectly and the plant thanked me with a rigorous growth. Even the storm and the scorching hot stone plates couldn’t stunt the plant. Although a couple of leafs were burnt. Tried to secure the pot - due to the dice it gets really vulnerable against tipping over from strong winds. All in all I am still excited to finally see some flowers. Still a couple of days to wait. Happy growing
