ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
A brand new round of diaries is here β number 23 to be exact β and Iβm honestly super excited for this run!
There are lots of upgrades happening on my little βFarmβ this time around.
New ventilation π¨, a brand-new nutrient line , a new thermometer π‘οΈ, and of courseβ¦ fresh genetics from the amazing collection of Royal Queen Seeds ππ±
New residents of the farm:
π Grape Ape Auto
π Pink Runtz Auto
π Wedding Cake Auto
This diary will follow the full journey of Pink Runtz Auto β from seed all the way to harvest.
π Pink Runtz Auto
Pink Runtz Auto comes from a legendary genetic background
As the autoflowering version of the famous Pink Runtz, it inherits genetics from the incredible Gelato Auto, The Original Z, and Pink Panties.
This strain features a beautifully balanced profile:
π 45% Sativa
π 50% Indica
β‘ 5% Ruderalis
Thanks to this balance, Pink Runtz Auto delivers a very complete and enjoyable experience when smoked.
With an impressive 22% THC content, expect a strong, long-lasting high that hits both mind and body perfectly.
The terpene profile is absolutely delicious.
Sweet candy-like aromas mix with fruity notes and subtle earthy undertones, creating a rich and unforgettable fragrance profile.
After just a few tokes, the effects start kicking in quickly.
Expect an uplifting, motivating, and euphoric high followed by a deeply relaxing and mellow finish.
π¬οΈ Ventilation Upgrade on My Little Farm
For this grow I decided it was finally time to upgrade the ventilation system, and Iβm extremely happy with the improvements so far.
New Equipment:
- Rhino Ultra Non-Silenced 125
- Rhino Pro 125
The Rhino Ultra fan surprised me immediately.
Despite its compact size, it delivers excellent airflow while remaining impressively quiet β even though this isnβt the silenced version.
I also upgraded to the improved Rhino Pro carbon filter, which should significantly improve air quality and environmental stability inside the tent throughout the entire cycle.
Another beautiful addition to the setup is the new RQS Thermometer β sleek, wireless, and equipped with integrated rear sensors that make monitoring temperature and humidity much cleaner and more practical inside the grow space.
βοΈ My Little Farm Setup
- Grow Tent: Secret Jardin DS120W
- Lighting: MIGRO Array 4
- Ventilation: Rhino Ultra Non-Silenced 125
- Carbon Filter: Rhino Pro 125
- Soil: BioBizz Light-Mix
- Pots: 11L fabric pots
- Genetics: Royal Queen Seeds
- Nutrients: BioTabs Organic Line
π± Trying a New Nutrient Line β BioTabs
For a long time I used only RQS organic nutrients, so this run is something completely new for me.
Huge thanks to the BioTabs team for sending me a full range of products to test on this grow.
Iβve heard many great things about BioTabs, and Iβm very excited to see how the plants respond.
Products Used:
Startrex
Startrex is packed with beneficial soil bacteria that immediately activate and improve soil life, helping plants establish roots faster and absorb nutrients more efficiently.
The key ingredients β fulvic acids, humus, and silicon β help transport nutrients directly into plant cells and create a healthy living soil environment from the very beginning.
Silicium Flash
Silicium Flash provides a fast-acting dose of silicon along with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
The plants can absorb these nutrients immediately, promoting lush green growth and strong early development, while the remaining nutrients are slowly released over the following weeks.
Mycotrex
Mycotrex contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with the roots.
These fungi dramatically expand the effective root zone, improving water and nutrient uptake and helping plants develop stronger and healthier root systems.
BioTabs Tablets
BioTabs tablets contain slow-release organic fertilizers combined with beneficial soil bacteria and humic acids.
This creates stable and healthy growth while improving nutrient availability throughout the entire grow cycle.
π± Planting Day
In the photos I tried to show the full planting process and all the products used during preparation.
I started with a 50L bag of BioBizz Light-Mix and prepared the RQS fabric pots.
- First, I filled roughly one-third of each pot with soil.
- Then I added 50g of Startrex and 50g of Silicium Flash.
- After adding more soil, I mixed everything thoroughly.
- Two BioTabs tablets were placed deep into the soil.
- The pots were then filled completely with soil.
- Finally, I added 2g of Mycotrex directly into the planting area where the seeds would be placed.
Before planting, I thoroughly soaked the soil using water mixed with:
1g/L Bactrex
5ml/L Orgatrex
After everything was ready, the seeds were placed into the soil and the pots were moved into My Little Farm.
Here's what the beginning of the journey looked like:
04/04/2026
Planting Day.
The journey officially began. Seeds were planted after fully preparing the soil and finalizing the setup for the new run.
06/04/2026
Lightly sprayed the soil with water to maintain proper humidity levels and create stable conditions for germination.
09/04/2026
Unfortunately, Pink Runtz hadnβt sprouted yet, so I decided to replant the seed.
The soil was remoistened carefully and the seed was given another chance.
13/04/2026
Success at last! π±
Pink Runtz finally emerged from the soil.
I welcomed her to the farm and wished her a safe and healthy journey ahead.
Now Iβll give her a few days to properly establish herself before officially beginning the vegetation phase.
That wraps up this introductory germination report.
The journey has officially begun, and Iβm incredibly excited to see how this grow develops over the coming weeks.
Thank you all for stopping by, and see you very soon for the next update! π±

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 1. β Day 7.
The first week of vegetation is officially behind me, and Pink Runtz Auto has been showing incredible potential right from the start.
From day one, she displayed strong vigor and healthy development. I may have taken the very first photos a little later than intended, but looking at her progress by Day 7, the growth has been nothing short of impressive.
She has already reached a height of 13 cm and developed multiple branch layers at a very early stage.
The internodal spacing remains beautifully tight, giving her a compact, bushy structure packed with lush, healthy foliage π
So far, the plant structure looks absolutely fantastic β vigorous growth, strong formation, and vibrant leaf color all around.
Iβm genuinely excited to see how she performs in the upcoming weeks and I really hope she continues this explosive development throughout the entire grow cycle π
To better document the progress, I captured photos on both Day 1 and Day 7 of vegetation, making the transformation clearly visible.
π‘ Grow Setup
The Migro Aray 4 LED is currently running at 40% intensity and positioned approximately 35 cm above the canopy.
During this first week, the plants are under a 24/7 light schedule to maximize early vegetative growth π
π§ Watering & Feeding
Watering is currently done every 3β4 days using approximately 1.5 liters of water per plant.
Even though pH adjustment is not absolutely necessary in this setup, I still prefer to lower the water to pH 6.0 using Plagron Lemon Kick for optimal nutrient availability.
No additional nutrients have been introduced yet, since the soil already contains everything the plants need at this early stage.
Later on, Iβm very curious to see how Pink Runtz responds to the BioTabs nutrient system π±
Weekly Timeline:
20/04/2026 β Day 1.
Pink Runtz officially entered the vegetation stage π±
I may have kept her in the seedling phase slightly longer than originally planned, but despite that, she continues to develop beautifully.
At this stage, she measured 5.5 cm in height.
Photos were taken followed by watering.
24/04/2026 β Day 5.
Watering day.
Prepared 5 liters of water, adjusted the pH using Plagron Lemon Kick, and watered all three ladies in the garden.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 8. β Day 14.
Week 2 of vegetation is officially in the books, and Pink Runtz continues to impress with some explosive growth!
Over the past seven days, she stretched another 12 cm and is now standing at 30 cm tall β literally double her size compared to last week.
The vigor on this girl is incredible, and she's showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
As she continues to develop, the internodal spacing is becoming more pronounced.
The lower section of the plant remains nice and compact, while the upper growth is beginning to space out as she reaches for the light.
Because of this, I'm planning a light defoliation of the lower growth towards the end of Week 3 to improve airflow and focus her energy where it matters most. βοΈπΏ
The foliage is looking absolutely healthy, with rich green leaves from top to bottom.
No deficiencies, no discoloration, and no signs of stress β just strong, vigorous growth and a very happy plant.
One thing that's becoming increasingly noticeable is the early formation of pre-flower sites.
They're still small at this stage, but the first signs are definitely there. By next week's update, they should be much easier to see and track. πΈ
Overall, Pink Runtz is exceeding my expectations so far.
The growth rate is honestly crazy, and I'm starting to wonder just how much vertical stretch she'll have once flowering really kicks in.
Hopefully she doesn't decide to touch the lights. π
π‘ Lighting Setup
The Migro Aray 4 LED remains at 40% power and approximately 35 cm above the canopy.
This week I switched the light schedule from 24/0 to 18/6.
The plants now get a proper dark period for recovery while still maintaining vigorous vegetative growth.
So far, they seem to be loving the change. βοΈπ
π§ Watering & Feeding
As growth accelerates, water consumption continues to increase as expected.
Currently, the plants are being watered approximately every three days, with the volume gradually increasing to keep up with their expanding root systems.The water pH remains stable around 6.0 and is adjusted using Plagron Lemon Kick.
The BioTabs feeding program is doing an outstanding job so far.
The plants are thriving, showing excellent color, strong growth, and plenty of vitality. Simply put β they're growing like weeds.
Week 2 Timeline:
28/04/2026 β Day 9.
Watering day.
Prepared 8 liters of water for all three plants and adjusted the pH using Plagron Lemon Kick before watering.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 15. β Day 21.
Pink Runtz Auto has officially completed her third week from seed and is now transitioning into the flowering stage. πΈ
Three weeks of vegetative growth is pretty much standard on my little farm, and this girl has used every single day to her advantage.
Her growth this week has been absolutely explosive. She stretched an impressive 34 cm in just seven days and now stands at 64 cm tall.
At this point, I'm hoping she starts to slow down a little because my grow box is only 180 cm high! π
With this kind of vigor, Pink Runtz has officially claimed the title of queen of the tent for this round. ππ±
The plant structure is very impressive.
Strong side branches have developed all the way from the base of the stem to the top of the canopy, creating numerous future bud sites. Despite the rapid growth, the main cola continues to dominate above the surrounding branches, maintaining a beautiful Christmas-tree structure.
One thing I've noticed is that the main stem isn't particularly thick considering her size, so I need to be extra careful whenever I move her in and out of the grow box for maintenance and photos.
The photos clearly show how much denser the lower canopy has become compared to the upper portion of the plant.
Thanks to the aggressive stretch, internodal spacing has opened up significantly higher on the plant while the lower growth remains quite crowded.
A light clean-up of the lower growth is definitely on the agenda after today's photo session.
This will improve airflow, reduce unnecessary undergrowth, and make watering much easier moving forward.
Overall, Pink Runtz is looking absolutely beautiful. The foliage is a vibrant, healthy green with no signs of deficiencies or stress, and the first flower formation is already becoming visible. Everything points toward a fantastic start to the flowering phase. ππ₯
Lighting Setup π‘
The Migro Aray 4 LED remains at 40% power and approximately 35 cm above the canopy.
Starting next week, as flowering gets underway, I'll increase the light intensity to 60% to support the upcoming stretch and bud development.
The light schedule remains 18/6.
Watering & Feeding π§
Watering frequency is now every 3 days as the plants continue expanding their root systems and overall biomass.
Water pH remains stable at around 6.0, adjusted using Plagron Lemon Kick.
One of the things I'm enjoying most about this BioTabs run is its simplicity. No nutrient bottles, no measuring EC, and no complicated feeding schedules. Just clean, pH-adjusted water while the soil ecosystem provides everything the plants need for healthy growth and development. π±
Weekly Timeline:
04/05/2026 - Day 15.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 22. β Day 28.
The first week of flowering has come to an end, and Pink Runtz is absolutely dominating the grow space. π±
This lady put on an incredible 28 cm of growth over the past seven days, bringing her total height to an impressive 92 cm.
At this point, she's starting to test the limits of my grow tent.
The lights are already positioned as high as possible, so I'm keeping a close eye on the ongoing stretch.
Hopefully she'll start focusing more energy on flower production soon, because there isn't much vertical space left to spare. π
Structurally, she's easily the standout plant in the garden right now.
The branch spacing is excellent, creating a naturally open canopy with plenty of airflow throughout the plant.
Her side branches extend strongly from the base all the way to the top, giving her a beautiful Christmas tree structure and setting the stage for multiple sizeable colas. πΈ
If she produces the chunky flowers I'm hoping for, I may need to add some support later in bloom.
The branches and main stem are healthy, but they're not particularly thick, and I can already imagine them struggling under the weight of dense, resin-covered buds.
That's a challenge I'd be happy to have. π
The foliage remains lush and vibrant with a rich green color from top to bottom.
This week I removed the lower growth to improve airflow beneath the canopy and make watering easier.
The cleanup has opened the plant up nicely, and early flower development is now visible across the entire structure.
White pistils are appearing everywhere, marking a fantastic transition into bloom. β¨πΈ
π‘ Lighting Setup
The Migro Aray 4 LED is now running at 60% power.
With the fixture already near its maximum height, I don't have much room left to adjust the setup.
For now, the canopy is staying within a comfortable distance from the light,
but the next couple of weeks will be crucial as the flowering stretch continues.
The light schedule remains unchanged at 18/6.
π§ Watering & Feeding
Watering frequency has increased to once every three days as the plants continue building biomass and expanding their root systems.
Water pH remains stable at approximately 6.0, adjusted using Plagron Lemon Kick.
So far, the BioTabs system has been making this grow incredibly straightforward.
No nutrient bottles, no complicated feeding charts, and no constant adjustments.
The soil food web seems to be doing all the heavy lifting while I simply provide properly adjusted water.
The plants appear more than satisfied with the setup, and Pink Runtz is certainly showing her appreciation through explosive growth and healthy development. π±π
Weekly Recap:
13/05/2026 β Day 24.
π§ Watering day.
Prepared 9 liters of water adjusted to pH 6.0 for all three plants on the farm.
16/05/2026 β Day 27.

17/05/2026 β Day 28.
πΈ Weekly photo session, plant measurements, and end-of-week update.
π¬ Pink Runtz Auto β Day 28. - π Height: 92 cm
The stretch is still going strong, flower sites are developing across every branch, and the plant is looking incredibly healthy from top to bottom.
If everything continues on this path, the next few weeks should bring some serious bud development and hopefully plenty of sweet, candy-like aromas that Pink Runtz is known for. π
I'm extremely happy with her progress so far and excited to see what she does next.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy growing! π±π

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 29. β Day 35.
Another week has flown by, and Pink Runtz Auto continues to steal the spotlight in my little garden. π±
She's easily the biggest lady in the tent, and although she still stretched this week, the pace has finally started to slow.
She added 8 cm, bringing her total height to an impressive 100 cm.
Honestly, that's exactly what I was hoping for. With my LED fixture already hanging at its maximum height, I was getting a little nervous about her continuing to stretch.
Seeing her vertical growth begin to level off is definitely welcome news and should make the rest of flowering much easier to manage.
What really impressed me this week, though, was the flower development. πΈ
The buds have noticeably bulked up in only seven days, and it's amazing to see how quickly they're stacking.
If they continue swelling at this rate, I may have to start supporting some of the branches before long to prevent them from bending or snapping under the weight of the developing colas. πͺπ¬
One thing I've mentioned before is that, despite her impressive size, both the branches and the main stem remain relatively slender.
Because of that, I have to be extra careful whenever I move her in or out of the grow tent.
She may look strong, but she's definitely a plant that deserves gentle handling.
Her foliage remains lush, vibrant, and beautifully green from top to bottom, with excellent overall vigor and no visible signs of nutrient deficiencies or stress.
As with the rest of the garden, I removed a small amount of lower growth this week to improve airflow beneath the canopy and make watering easier. π¬οΈπ
The cleaner undergrowth should also help the plant concentrate more energy on the upper bud sites, where the most productive flowers are developing.
One thing that really stands out is the size of the buds this early in flower.
They're already much larger than I would normally expect at this stage, making this cultivar even more exciting to watch as flowering progresses.
π‘ Lighting
The Migro Aray 4 LED continues running at 60% power.
The fixture is already positioned at its maximum height, leaving very little room for further adjustment.
Thankfully, the slowing stretch means the canopy should remain at a comfortable distance from the ligh
for the remainder of the flowering phase.
π Light Schedule: 18/6
π§ Watering & Feeding
Water demand continues to increase, and watering is now needed every three days as the root system expands and the plant puts on more floral mass.
Water is adjusted to approximately pH 6.0 using Plagron Lemon Kick before every watering.
The BioTabs system continues to make this grow refreshingly simple.
No measuring multiple nutrient bottles, no complicated feeding schedules, and no chasing nutrient ratios.
I simply provide clean, properly pH-adjusted water while the living soil ecosystem takes care of delivering nutrients naturally. π±
So far, the results speak for themselves. Pink Runtz has responded with explosive growth, outstanding vigor, and exceptionally healthy development throughout the entire grow. π
Weekly Recap:
19/05/2026 β Day 30.
π§ Watering day.
Prepared 9 liters of pH-adjusted water (pH 6.0) for all three ladies in the garden.

24/05/2026 β Day 35.
πΈ Weekly photo session, measurements, and end-of-week update.
π¬ Pink Runtz Auto β Day 35. - π Height: 100 cm
Pink Runtz has now entered the stage where her energy is shifting away from vertical growth and fully into flower production.
The stretch is slowing down, the buds are stacking rapidly, and resin development is becoming more noticeable with each passing day.
She looks incredibly healthy, full of vigor, and has easily become the standout plant in this run.
If she continues developing at this pace, I'm expecting some seriously chunky, frosty colas by harvest. π¬βοΈ
I'm extremely happy with her progress so far and can't wait to see how her flowers, resin production,
and terpene profile evolve over the coming weeks.
Thanks for stopping by and following my journey. Wishing everyone a fantastic grow and an abundant harvest! π±π

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 36. β Day 42.
The third week of flowering is officially behind us, and all I can say is... wow! πΈπ₯
As you can see from the photos, Pink Runtz Automatic is exploding with flower production.
The buds are stacking faster than I ever expected, and every day they seem noticeably larger and denser.
WWatching this plant develop has been an absolute pleasure.
π± Growth Update
Let's start from the beginning.
This week Pink Runtz stretched just another 2 cm, reaching her final height of 102 cm.
I'm actually very happy about that because my Migro Array 4 LED is already mounted at the highest possible position in my grow tent.
Any additional stretch would have brought the canopy uncomfortably close to the light.
For my setup, 102 cm is almost the perfect final height. π
The only challenge this week came from the weight of the rapidly developing flowers.
Several branches started leaning and bending, so I had to tie them up for extra support.
Their stems are surprisingly slender considering how much weight they're already carrying, so I have to be extra careful every time I take the plant out of the tent for watering or photography. One careless move could easily snap a branch.
πΊ Flower Development
This girl is becoming more impressive every single day.
The buds are covered in fresh white pistils that just keep appearing nonstop, giving the impression that flowering is accelerating rather than slowing down. Each cola is becoming thicker, fuller, and more defined with every passing day.
The first noticeable blanket of trichomes has also started covering the flowers. β¨
The resin production is increasing rapidly, giving the upper buds that beautiful frosty shimmer every grower loves to see.
They already look incredibly sticky and absolutely delicious.
Her foliage remains a rich, healthy green from top to bottom, with excellent leaf posture throughout the canopy.
There's absolutely no sign of nutrient deficiencies, toxicity, or environmental stressβjust a vigorous, thriving plant that's clearly loving her environment. π
I honestly can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store.
π‘ Lighting
The Migro Array 4 LED continues running at 60% power.
The fixture remains mounted at the maximum height of the grow tent, and with the canopy staying comfortably below one meter, the light intensity and coverage appear to be just about perfect for this stage of growth.
π Light Schedule: 18/6
π§ Watering & Feeding
Watering continues every three days, with each plant receiving approximately 3 liters of water.
Before every watering, I adjust my tap water to approximately pH 6.0 using Plagron Lemon Kick.
While the BioTabs system doesn't actually require pH adjustment, my tap water naturally comes out fairly alkaline, so I prefer lowering it slightly to keep everything as consistent as possible.
One of my absolute favorite things about growing with BioTabs is just how incredibly simple the feeding routine becomes. π±
There's no mixing multiple nutrient bottles, no complicated feeding charts, and no endless measuring. From my perspective, this is essentially a water-only grow. I simply provide clean, pH-adjusted water while the living soil ecosystem and BioTabs amendments naturally deliver everything the plant needs throughout its life cycle.
It really doesn't get much easier than that.
Weekly Recap:
25/05/2026 β Day 36.

π Weekly Thoughts
There's honestly not much left to say except... she just keeps getting better.
Week after week, Pink Runtz continues to exceed my expectations.
All I can really do now is sit back, admire her progress, and enjoy watching the flowers swell.
If everything continues like this until harvest, I truly believe this could become the biggest yield I've ever achieved in my little home grow. π€πΈ
Thank you once again to everyone following this grow journal and supporting me throughout this journey. π
Every visit, every like, and every comment truly means a lot and keeps me motivated to continue sharing each step of this adventure.
Happy growing everyone! π±π₯

Day Range: Day 43. β Day 49.
Another fantastic week has come to an end, and Pink Runtz Automatic continues to steal the show. β¨
Week 4 of flowering is now behind us, and she's looking more impressive every single day.
Her flowers are stacking beautifully and have already become heavy enough to start bending the branches under their own weight.
I can only imagine what they'll look like by harvest time! πΈπͺ
Every time I open the grow tent, she's the first plant that catches my eye.
Just looking at her fills me with excitement and curiosity about the incredible harvest she's preparing. π
π± Growth Update
Vertical growth officially came to an end last week, so from here on it's all about flower production and resin.
The buds continue to swell day after day, which means I have to be extra careful whenever I move her in or out of the tent for watering or photos. I supported and tied the branches as carefully as possible, hoping they'll comfortably carry the weight of the developing flowers all the way to harvest.
As I mentioned in previous updates, her main stem and branches aren't particularly thick, making support even more important.
Fortunately, everything is holding up nicely so far. π€πΏ
πΊ Flower Development
Flower development has really accelerated this week.
Fresh white pistils continue emerging nonstop, giving every cola a fluffy, vibrant appearance while the buds steadily become thicker, fuller, and more defined. At the same time, the first generous layer of sparkling trichomes is beginning to spread across the flowers, giving them that irresistible frosty glow. β¨
The buds already feel remarkably hard and dense despite still having plenty of time left to mature.
They're not overly sticky just yet, but that's only a matter of time.
What already stands out is their wonderfully sweet, fruity aroma with those unmistakable candy-like notes that Pink Runtz is famous for. π¬π
Honestly... they look delicious. π
Her foliage remains a deep, healthy green from top to bottom, with perfect leaf posture throughout the canopy.
There's no sign of nutrient deficiencies, toxicity, or environmental stressβjust a vigorous, thriving plant that's clearly loving her environment. π
At this stage, I'm simply enjoying the show and looking forward to seeing just how frosty and colorful she'll become over the next few weeks.
π‘ Lighting
The Migro Array 4 LED continues running at 60% power.
The fixture remains mounted at the maximum height of the grow tent, and with the canopy staying comfortably below one meter, the light intensity and coverage continue to be almost ideal for this stage of flowering. βοΈ
π Light Schedule: 18/6
π§ Watering & Feeding
Watering continues every three days, with each plant receiving approximately 3 liters of water.
Before every watering, I adjust my tap water to approximately pH 6.0 using Plagron Lemon Kick.
While the BioTabs system doesn't actually require pH adjustment, my tap water naturally comes out fairly alkaline, so I prefer lowering it slightly to keep everything as stable and consistent as possible.
One of my absolute favorite things about growing with BioTabs is how incredibly simple the feeding routine becomes. π±
No nutrient bottles.
No complicated feeding schedules.
No endless measuring or mixing.
From my perspective, this is practically a water-only grow.
I simply provide clean, pH-adjusted water while the living soil ecosystem and BioTabs amendments naturally supply everything the plant needs throughout her entire life cycle.
Weekly Recap:

π End of Week Thoughts
Without a doubt, Pink Runtz has become the standout plant of this grow. πΈπ
Every week she seems to surprise me with something newβlarger flowers, more trichomes, stronger aromas, and an overall presence that's impossible to ignore.
Watching her develop has been an absolute pleasure, and it's becoming harder to imagine just how impressive she'll look by harvest time.
For now, she's charging through flowering with incredible determination, and my job is simply to keep providing the stable environment she deserves while letting nature take care of the rest. πΏβ¨
A huge thank you to everyone following this grow journal and supporting me throughout this journey. π
Happy Growing, everyone! π±ππ₯β¨

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Strain - Pink Runtz Auto
Day Range: Day 50. β Day 56.
Another beautiful week has come to an end, and Pink Runtz Automatic is steadily making her way toward the finish line. πΏβ³
Harvest is now close enough that I can almost picture those jars filled with beautifully cured flowers.
She's not quite there yet, but every passing day makes the anticipation even greater.
This week I decided she deserved something a little specialβa full photo session against a black background. πΈπ€
The contrast really allows her colors, structure, and frosty flowers to shine, capturing just how spectacular she's becoming.
πΈ A Plant That Refuses to Go Unnoticed
This week was pleasantly straightforward.
Watering continued every three days, while the only additional task was providing extra support for several branches.
The flowers have become so large and surprisingly heavy that some of the thinner branches were beginning to struggle under the weight.
Every time I remove her from the grow tent for maintenance or photographs, I handle her with extra care.
Those slender branches are carrying an incredible amount of dense flower mass, and the last thing I'd want this close to harvest is an unnecessary accident. πΏπͺ
And the flowers...
They're simply breathtaking.
Large, incredibly dense, and completely covered with fresh white pistils that are gradually disappearing beneath an ever-thickening blanket of sparkling trichomes. β¨βοΈ
Each bud feels wonderfully firm and sticky to the touch, while the aroma continues to grow richer and more intense every single day.
Opening the tent has become one of my favorite moments of the dayβthe sweet fragrance immediately fills the room and reminds me that harvest isn't far away. π¬π
One detail that has completely captivated me is the subtle purple coloration beginning to emerge from deep inside the flowers.
Watching those beautiful purple tones blend with the vibrant green calyxes, bright white resin, and warm orange-brown pistils creates a truly stunning display.
It's easily one of the most beautiful flowering plants I've had the pleasure of growing, and I honestly can't stop admiring her.
If she already looks this impressive now, I can only imagine how spectacular she'll be once she reaches full maturity. πΈπβ¨
The foliage continues to look healthy and vibrant, maintaining a rich green color throughout the canopy.
Occasionally an older leaf naturally fades to yellow, but that's completely expected at this stage, and I simply remove it to keep everything clean and tidy. π
Looking back over the entire grow so far, I have to say it again...
I've never had an autoflower produce this many flowers.
That alone has made this grow incredibly rewarding. π
π‘ Lighting
The Migro Array 4 LED continues running at 60% power, providing excellent light intensity across the canopy.
π Distance from canopy: approximately 35 cm.
Pink Runtz is actually sitting a few centimeters closer than the others, but she's showing absolutely no signs of light stress, bleaching, or heat damage, so I've left everything exactly as it is.
π Light Schedule: 18/6
π§ Watering & Feeding
Watering remains unchanged, with each plant receiving approximately 3 liters every three days. π§π±
Before every watering, I adjust my tap water to approximately pH 6.0 using Plagron Lemon Kick.
Although the BioTabs system doesn't strictly require pH adjustment, my tap water naturally comes out fairly alkaline, so I prefer lowering it slightly to keep the root zone and living soil as stable and consistent as possible.
One of the biggest reasons I've fallen in love with growing with BioTabs is its simplicity. πΏ
From my perspective, this has become almost a true water-only grow.
Just properly prepared water, thriving living soil, beneficial microorganisms, and a natural ecosystem that quietly supplies everything the plant needs from seed to harvest.
It's a growing style that lets me spend less time mixing nutrients and more time simply enjoying the plants. π
Weekly Recap:
09/06/2026 β Day 51.
π§ Watering Day
Prepared 9 liters of pH-adjusted water (pH 6.0) for all three ladies.
Everything continues progressing smoothly with healthy growth and no signs of deficiencies.

π Pink Runtz Automatic - Day 56. -π Height: 102 cm
π End of Week Thoughts
It's honestly difficult to describe just how impressed I am with Pink Runtz Automatic. π
From her vigorous growth to her incredible flower production, she's exceeded every expectation I had at the beginning of this journey.
Massive buds, outstanding resin production, beautiful colors, and an aroma that becomes more intoxicating every dayβshe has all the qualities I could hope for in a cultivar.
Now it's simply a matter of patience.
I'll continue giving her exactly what she needs: fresh water, a stable environment, a little extra branch support, and plenty of attention while nature finishes the final touches. πΏβ¨
If the branches can hold on just a little longer, I'm confident she'll reward me with an unforgettable harvest.
And judging by the way she's looking today, I have a feeling the best is still yet to come. ππ¬
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who's been following this grow journal, leaving comments, sharing advice, and supporting me throughout the entire journey. Your encouragement truly makes every update even more enjoyable. ππ
Until next week...
π± Happy Growing! ππΈβ¨π¬
Pink Runtz Auto β Final Report
Pink Runtz Auto is definitely a strain I will remember for a long time. So far, it has been one of the most successful strains I have grown on my small farm, especially when it comes to yield.
Letβs start from the beginning. My first attempt was unsuccessful, as the seeds failed to germinate, so I decided to start the process again. Once it finally sprouted, however, there was no stopping it. Pink Runtz Auto went through three weeks of vegetation followed by six weeks of flowering, and the final result speaks for itself.
The flowers were absolutely huge and incredibly dense, to the point where their weight literally caused the branches to bend and break. Throughout the entire grow, I experienced no significant problems with nutrient deficiencies, diseases, or other issues. Right up until harvest, the plant maintained beautiful, healthy green foliage, which was a great indication of its overall health and vigor.
And then there are the flowers themselves. They are truly beautiful. A combination of purple and green tones, together with the brownish-white pistils, gives the buds an incredibly attractive appearance. This is definitely one of those strains that catches your eye immediately.
Pink Runtz Auto also has an impressive genetic background. As the autoflowering version of Pink Runtz, it comes from Gelato Auto, The Original Z and Pink Panties. According to Royal Queen Seeds, its genetic profile consists of 45% sativa, 50% indica and 5% ruderalis, with a THC content of around 22%.
The terpene profile is probably my favorite part of this strain. Pink Runtz Auto has a sweet, candy-like and fruity aroma, complemented by noticeable earthy notes that give the overall fragrance more depth. It is a very pleasant and distinctive combination, and definitely one of the aspects that makes this strain stand out for me.
As for the overall experience, I find Pink Runtz Auto to be a very enjoyable and versatile strain. For me, it works well for everyday use. I can enjoy it while working on the computer, editing photos or videos, or simply relaxing with a good book or a movie, without feeling completely overwhelmed.
All in all, Pink Runtz Auto really impressed me. It proved to be an easy and grateful strain to grow, with excellent vigor, beautiful flowers and, most importantly, a very satisfying final yield. The combination of appearance, aroma, effects and overall ease of growing makes it a strain I would happily grow again.
A truly rewarding experience from start to finish β Pink Runtz Auto definitely earned its place among my favorite grows so far.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Pink Runtz Auto β Final Thoughts & Harvest Recap π±
Although I feel like I covered most of the important details throughout the previous weeks, I wanted to take one final look back at the entire journey and share my thoughts on this incredible strain β Pink Runtz Auto. π±π
π Final Stats
β±οΈ Total time: 74 days from seed to harvest
π± Vegetative phase: 3 weeks
πΈ Flowering phase: 6 weeks
βοΈ Final dry harvest: 123 g
Pink Runtz Auto went through the entire cycle without any major problems and proved to be a very healthy and vigorous plant from start to finish. From the beginning, she quickly showed that she meant business.
During the vegetative phase, she focused on building a strong structure and preparing for what was to come.
The foliage remained healthy and beautifully green throughout the entire cycle. πΏ
The only thing I could really complain about was the relatively thin stem and branches compared with the size of the plant and, especially, the flowers she eventually produced.
Once the buds started gaining serious weight, I had no choice but to support her with a stick. π π±
Handling the plant when taking her out of the grow box became a bit of an adventure β I had to be extremely careful not to break a branch under the weight of those massive flowers.
And once flowering really got going, Pink Runtz Auto seemed to put all her energy into one mission: making flowers. πΈπ₯
The buds became absolutely huge, especially the main cola.
They were incredibly dense, hard, sticky and covered with golden-white trichomes and pistils.
Honestly, I have never had a plant produce so many heavy flowers before. She definitely surprised me in the best possible way. π€―π
π± BioTabs Experience
This grow was also my first experience using BioTabs products, and I have to say that I was genuinely impressed with the results.
Compared with some of my previous grows, the entire experience was much simpler and more enjoyable.
Instead of constantly measuring nutrients, adjusting doses and worrying about feeding schedules, my main job was basically just watering with clean water and letting the plant do her thing. π±π§
For me, that simplicity was a huge advantage. I especially appreciate a straightforward approach when growing autoflowers, where I prefer to avoid unnecessary complications and let the plant develop naturally.
And judging by the final result, the plants seemed to appreciate it too. π
βοΈ Harvest Time
After 74 days from seed, Pink Runtz Auto finally reached the finish line.
But before I cut her down, there was one thing left to do β one final photoshoot. πΈπ€
A beautiful plant deserves a proper farewell, so I placed her in front of a black background and took one last series of photographs.
After the photoshoot, I cut the plant at the base and hung her upside down in the grow box to dry.
Before hanging her, I removed the larger fan leaves to prepare the plant for the drying process.
After approximately two weeks of drying, she was ready for the next stage.
I took her down, carefully trimmed the buds and placed everything into jars for curing. ?πΈ
And that was it β 74 days from seed to harvest, and the beginning of the curing process.
π¬ Aroma, Flavor & Effects
The aroma of Pink Runtz Auto is probably one of my favorite things about this strain. As soon as you open the jars, you are greeted with a sweet, candy-like and fruity aroma, accompanied by noticeable earthy undertones that give the whole profile more depth. π¬ππ±
It is a very pleasant and distinctive combination, and definitely one of the highlights of this grow for me.
As for the effects, Pink Runtz Auto delivers a balanced and long-lasting experience.
For me, the effect is uplifting, motivating, relaxing and pleasantly mellow without becoming overwhelming.
This is another reason why I found her surprisingly suitable for daytime use. π»βοΈ
I spend quite a lot of time working on the computer, especially editing photos and videos, and this is where I really appreciated her effects.
She allows me to relax while still keeping my mind active and creative.
And whenever I hit one of those creative walls where nothing seems to work, Pink Runtz Auto can definitely help me get back into the flow. π¨
Of course, everyone's experience with a strain will be different, but for me, this was definitely one of the highlights of the entire grow.
π Final Thoughts
Overall, I think that's everything I wanted to share about my experience with this incredible strain.
I tried to document and describe everything I considered important throughout the diary, while hopefully the photographs tell the rest of the story. πΈπ±
Pink Runtz Auto turned out to be an easy-going, vigorous and extremely rewarding plant to grow. She gave me beautiful dark-green foliage, enormous and incredibly dense flowers, a delicious candy-fruity aroma and an effect that fits my personal preferences very well.
And then there is the final number:
123 g of dry, beautiful flowers after just 74 days. βοΈπ₯
That is an extremely satisfying result, especially considering how simple and trouble-free the entire cycle was.
Pink Runtz Auto definitely exceeded my expectations and earned a place among the most successful plants I have grown so far. I would absolutely grow her again. ππΈ
If anyone has any questions about Pink Runtz Auto or would like to know more about my experience with her, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. I'll be happy to share what I learned along the way. π
π A Few Final Thanks
First and foremost, I would like to give a huge thank you to Royal Queen Seeds, who have supported me from the very beginning.
What started as a professional relationship has grown into something much more β a wonderful friendship that I truly appreciate. ππ±
A big thank you also goes to BioTabs for their great products and for giving me the opportunity to try a different approach to feeding.
I think the final result speaks for itself. π±π§
And of course, a huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing such a great platform for all of us.
It has become a kind of little bubble where growers from all over the world can share experiences, learn from each other, support one another and spread awareness about this amazing plant. ππ±
Finally, thank you to everyone who followed this journey, left a comment, showed support or simply stopped by to check out the diary.
It really means a lot. ππ
See you soon with another journey.
Until thenβ¦
