RockoCalenberg 🏁 Rocko's Runtz Rumble – Let the games begin! 🌱 Finally, it's happening again! In Rocko's Runtz Rumble, two exciting Runtz lines get to show what they're really made of this time. 🍈 Melonade Runtz 🍌 Pink Banana Runtz The pictures of the Melonade Runtz really convinced me: fat, compact buds, loads of resin, and a fruity terpene profile. Just my taste. The Pink Banana Runtz enters the race with a pretty confident announcement. According to Dutch Passion, it’s supposed to produce even bigger buds than conventional Runtz lines. Sounds promising – but that’s exactly what we want to check now. Marketing is patient; the truth reveals itself in the tent. The first two seeds have been planted – and the germination test has already been clearly won by the Melonade Runtz. It showed itself first after just two days. So the first small victory goes to the Melonade. 🏁 Setup As usual, the grow is happening in a 90 × 60 × 180 cm tent with two ViparSpectra XS1500 Pro lights. The basic setup comes from the Terp Test and has proven itself. There are a few changes, though: The exhaust has been completely rebuilt and now runs much straighter out of the tent, without the previous bend. Let's see if this makes a difference in airflow, climate, or noise. The trade-off is a bit less height in the tent – so I hope the two Runtz ladies don’t replicate the legendary stretch of the Fruitbomb Punch. 😄 Currently, they are both still in the smallest Airpots. Later, they will move into their final 20-liter Airpots. Until then, they can develop in peace. As a base, I'm using my used soil from the last run, which has been refreshed with worm humus and other organic ingredients. For about two weeks now, clover has also been growing as a cover crop in the pots, already supporting the soil life. Fertilization will again be with the Guerilla Tabs, which have already proven themselves in the last grow. Let's see how well the organic concept harmonizes this time with the two Runtz genetics. 🧐 I can already reveal: We are a few days ahead of what’s shown in the pictures. The germination test is decided – but that’s not all. More on that in the next update. 😉 🏁 In the end, it only matters which Runtz rumbles the hardest. 👑

RockoCalenberg 🏁 Rocko's Runtz Rumble – Tag 7 🌱 A week has passed – and this time, we can't really talk about a relaxed start. 😅 The Melonade Runtz has gained a significant lead from day one and is developing exactly as it should. Unfortunately, the situation with the Pink Banana Runtz looks quite different. 5 seeds → 2 plants. What's going on, Dutch Passion? 😬 Sorry, but that can't be the standard. With a germination rate of 2 out of 5, I'm more than disappointed. The Rumble is already starting for Pink Banana with some serious negative points. 👎 Since I had no idea what would come from the additional seeds, Plan B had to come into play – and so a Blue Zushi quickly got a spot in the race. Wildcard: Blue Zushi! As it always goes: First, almost nothing wants to germinate – and when you plant a replacement, suddenly more pops up from the soil. 😂 The Blue Zushi is still in the game and gets a slightly smaller pot as a wildcard somewhere on the side. Let's see what it makes of that. Otherwise, there's not much to report on day 7. During the day, the little ones continue to enjoy the sun on the windowsill, and in the evenings, there's some support from artificial light. Overall, I'm satisfied with the development so far – just the germination rate of the Pink Banana Runtz has been a real disappointment. 😱🤮🤬 The first point in the Rumble clearly goes to Melonade Runtz. 🍈🌱💯 🏁 In the end, it only matters which Runtz rumbles the hardest.

RockoCalenberg 🏁 Rocko's Runtz Rumble – Tag 14 🌱 Two weeks have passed – and overall, I'm very satisfied with the little crew. 🌱 The cultivation continues in a sun-plus-artificial-light mix: If the weather cooperates, they go on the windowsill in the sun during the day, with support from artificial light. Seems like they like it – all are developing nicely and making a good impression at the moment. The Melonade Runtz is really performing exemplary so far: one seed planted, one germinated – and it was there immediately. 1/1. Since then, it has been growing without any issues and is just doing its thing. 🍈💪 Our wildcard Blue Zushi also came through without any problems and is developing well. So it can continue to participate in the Runtz Rumble. 😄 There's just one thing I still can't get over: the germination rate of the Pink Banana Runtz. 5 seeds planted → 2 plants. 😑 I've since given away one of the two plants, so there's one Pink Banana Runtz continuing in the Runtz Rumble. And it's doing well now – there's currently nothing to complain about with the little plant itself. But 2/5 for the seeds still leaves me with a pretty disappointing balance. I also no longer believe in any miracles with the other three. So now all candidates are looking good: Melonade Runtz, Pink Banana Runtz, and our wildcard Blue Zushi. They're still compact in their little air pots before moving to the larger pots later. Now it's all about continuing to grow, soaking up the sun, and seeing where the journey goes. 🌱☀️ 🏁 In the end, it only matters which Runtz rumbles the hardest. 💚

RockoCalenberg 🥊 Rocko’s Runtz Rumble –Tag 21 Die Ladies gedeihen weiterhin gut und wurden diese Woche getoppt. Jetzt heißt es erst einmal schauen, wie sie darauf reagieren und wie die neuen Triebe weiterschieben. 🌱 🍌 Pink Banana Runtz fällt weiterhin durch ihren sehr kompakten Wuchs auf. 🍈 Melonade Runtz wächst dagegen deutlich offener und etwas lockerer. 💙 Blue Zushi bleibt bisher unauffällig und zeigt ebenfalls einen eher kompakten, kräftigen Wuchs. Ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu berichten – alles läuft, alles wächst. 💪 Woche 3. Tag 21. Weiter geht’s. 🥊🌱 Rocko’s Runtz Rumble Strictly for Runtz Lovers.💚 Am Ende zählt nur, welche Runtz am härtesten rumbelt. 🥊✌️
