DE_BW The seedling has established well after a slightly slower start, likely due to earlier cooler conditions. Cotyledons are fully open and the first true leaves are developing nicely, with a healthy light-green color and compact structure. Soil moisture is being carefully managed to avoid overwatering, allowing the roots to search downward and outward. No nutrients added yet—just letting the plant build a strong foundation before introducing feeding in the coming days.

DE_BW The second week shows solid progress, with symmetrical growth and no signs of stress or nutrient issues. Leaves are expanding well, and the plant remains low and bushy under proper lighting. Focus remains on building a strong root system while gradually increasing nutrients. Preparing for the first LST in the coming days once a few more nodes develop.

DE_BW Week 3: The main stem has been successfully guided to the edge of the pot, and the plant is now focusing on developing multiple strong side branches. Growth remains healthy and steady, with early preflowers showing and the structure opening up nicely for an even canopy.

DE_BW Week 4: The plant is responding well to ongoing LST, with multiple side branches developing and the canopy starting to spread evenly across the pot. Feeding remains moderate and stable, supporting healthy green growth without signs of stress. Early pre-flower pistils are visible, but full flowering is still some time away.

DE_BW Week 5: Continued LST to maintain a low and spread-out canopy while transitioning fully into early flower. Pre-flower is clearly established now, with multiple tops forming and the structure holding steady after the final adjustments.

DE_BW Week 6 veg for the Guava Runtz. She’s right on the edge of full flower transition now, showing strong branching and a very even canopy across the plant. LST went smoothly, structure is set, and training is mostly finished from here unless the stretch demands minor adjustments.

DE_BW Week 7 for the Guava Runtz. She is now fully in flower and currently stretching hard, reaching around 40 cm in height with an extremely bushy and beautifully branched structure. I lightly defoliated the lower growth this week, while the remaining cleanup and final lollipopping will happen once the stretch phase is over.

DE_BW The plant is looking extremely healthy and vigorous, with explosive branching and a very open structure after some selective cleanup. Stretch is still ongoing, but she has already formed a large number of bud sites across the entire canopy. The overall structure developed beautifully with LST only, creating many evenly exposed tops and strong light penetration throughout the plant. Bud formation is now clearly accelerating, and the plant is transitioning fully into productive flower growth.

DE_BW Week 4 of flowering is now complete, and Guava Runtz is looking extremely promising. The plant has developed a large number of bud sites across nearly every branch, and stacking has clearly started along the stems. What were previously individual flower clusters are beginning to connect, giving a good indication of the long spear-shaped colas that may form over the coming weeks. The structure remains very open and well-spaced, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy. This should help many of the secondary and tertiary bud sites continue developing instead of becoming larfy lower growth. Frost production is already becoming noticeable on the sugar leaves, and all pistils remain bright white, showing that the plant is still in the active building phase with plenty of development ahead. This week I performed another light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. The plant responded well and continues to look healthy and vigorous. I expect to do one final cleanup next week before letting her focus entirely on flower production for the remainder of the cycle. At this stage, patience is key. The foundation has been built, stacking has begun, and now the goal is simply to give the plant time, maintain a stable environment, and let the buds fill out naturally. If development continues at the current pace, Guava Runtz has the potential to become one of the most productive and visually impressive plants of this grow. 🍈🔥🌱

DE_BW The Guava Runtz continues to develop exceptionally well, with strong bud stacking across the entire canopy and excellent overall structure. Frost production is now becoming more noticeable, as the sugar leaves and bud surfaces are steadily coating themselves in resin. With plenty of fresh white pistils still present, she appears to have a lot of potential left for further swelling over the coming weeks.
