Chucky324 Hello. This is the start of the Runtz Mintz Cream diary.
Got these seeds at my local grow shop. He's a local grower that's making seeds now.
I've read some good reviews on Yelp and Reddit about his strains.
These are reg seeds I'm hoping to pick the best male to use for breeding in the greenhouse with another strain... Looks like it will be some older M.A.C. seeds that have popped. I'll also pollenate my best clones too. So if you want some free seeds for doing a diary on them, I can send you some. Talk to me in the fall, when they are ready. I also intent to flower these females outside and harvest them in the fall
Wow... 16 out of 16 popped and grew. Love fresh seeds. I had to dig down in the last pot to find the seed growing slowly. It should come up!
There was no info on the pack so I went to his site but there was none there either. Just a list of his seeds.
He doesn't sell seeds on his site, it was just info about how he makes his seeds. Some good pics.
The site is not working. I wonder if he forgot to pay for the his web name??
The soak water looks weird... I use water store, RO water, for starting seeds.
To 2 cups of ph adjusted RO water, I add a pinch of cinnamon, it's anti-fungal. and has similar property's to cloning gel. It's a natural product and I thing it helps.
I also add 4 drops of 30% Hydrogen Peroxide. It helps clean the water and adds extra oxygen to the water and helps soften the inside membrane so the seedling can slip out of it easier. Even with adding the H.P. I still had to take the shell and membrane off 5 of these seeds when they came up. It's been my experience that having to taking the shell off is the sign of high test plants.
I had some older seed of Slurricane I was going to breed with the males but only 1 popped, then stopped growing.
So I'm trying some older (about 4 years old) M.A.C. seeds and I'll breed with that strain. Have to wait and see.
This strain Runtz Mintz Cream is about 65% to 70% indica and I hope it has some red color in there too.
I'll get a new underground comic book up and going in a couple of weeks for your entertainment.
I've moved them into the main grow room now and turned the Mars Hydro light on to 20%
OK. Have Fun.
Chuck.

Chucky324 Hello. This is the first week of veg.
The little seedlings are doing good.
They need some water, and will get some as soon as I'm done here.
They are all on heating pads that are pre-set at around 24* or 25* c ... and the heat rises.
Started some older (2022) MAC seeds that are struggling because they are old and don't have much power left in them to sprout up.
They will be getting their own diary next week. Looks like I might get 8 or 9 come up out of 25 started. Oh.. well... Like I said, older seeds.
OK. Keep Growing Straight.
Chuck.

Chucky324 Hello This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of veg.
Going good in here. They have found their second set of leaves and are working on putting out their 3rd.
Noticed some small white marks on the leaves... Dam it... thrips... Middle of winter... How did they find these plants.
So I was looking at essential oils for getting rid of pests. Found these pages on...
theindoorgarden.com/blog/best-essential-oils-for-plants/
or... theindoorgarden.com/blog/cannabis-pests/
Lots of info on both those pages.
or... I'll include more pages next week to help "you" with the "fight" against the "pests".
OK. Be Cool.
Chuck.

Chucky324 Hello this is the end of week2 and the beginning of week 3 of veg.
I found some small white marks and knew it was thrips... so I sprayed them with some Doctor Doom to get rid of them.
I guess I didn't shake the can enough or sprayed too close and burnt the little seedlings. Felt bad. But they are bouncing back.
The new leaves look good. The plants are getting some regular nutrients and seem to be growing good now.
I'll start to sex them at around week 5 and then every watering after that I'll get down with my magnifying glass and look at the preflowers.
Most will show their sex by week 8 and I'm only keeping 1 male for breeding. The best male, I hope.
Seeing how the second strain didn't start so good, I'll put these girls into the green house. Got 6 spots in there for the 6 best females.
I'll determine which is the best males and females, with the stem rub test. I'll tell you about it later...
I found these essential oil recipes on theindoorgarden.com/blog/best-essential-oils-for-plants/ or theindoorgarden.com/blog/cannabis-pests/
Just trying to help!
OK. Keep Growing Straight.
Chuck.
