Runtz indoor

This diary is dedicated to the whole Zamnesia team and also a big thank you for sending me this nice package for the Zamnesia spring contest. So it begins. Both seeds germinated in SmartStart micro pots in a propagator and today both showed up, so I put them in small 0.3L pots with UGRO coco mykorrhiza.

Second week for the Runtz girls. Time to give the first water, PH-corrected to about 5.8, therefore I will use Green Buzz Liquids PH - powder, an organic PH reducer made out of urea.

Third week started and they grow like there is no tomorrow. So they got some training and also topped both girls. The nutrition is doing a great job, Monster Buds seems to be good stuff so far.

That week topped them again and did some training. Next week I will switch to flower. Nutrition works well so far, got nothing but water till now.

Changed cycle to 12-12 that week and thats all. Nutrition works fine, maybe a litte too much nutes available as some leaves got claws and burned tips.

Nutrition still working under this coco experiment. No problems so far except one stem that seems affected by too much nutrition as i got some burned tips. But no problem at all. Now the smell is coming.

Added some living organics that week. Beside of that I still only add PH-corrected water. This grow is some of the easiest Ive ever done. No stress, no problems, only a bunch of little flies in the tent.

That week I raised the PH up to 5.8 for better adsorption of calcium and magnesium. I removes some lower leaves and also problematic lower stems as they had several problems that seemed like a nutrition overdose. But nevermind as these stems were small and eventually would have produced about 5g of dried buds.

Week 4 of flowering and still looking great. I still have trust problems with the monster bud mix nutrition but it seems I don´t have to worry about as I had no problems so far, even in coco. So the journey goes on, they get water and sometimes a little dose of CalMag because of the coco and insufficient calcium and magnesium contentration in my added water.

Like in my other grow, these girls started turning yellow in week 5 of flowering, but here it is okay by now as it comes slowly. I gave them a slight amount of nitrogen-based nutrition, in this case some BioBizz grow to help them through the cycle.

After 2 doses of BioBizz they got enough nitrogen for the rest of the cycle. Now they just fattening their buds and build up terpenes. Also activated my UV-LEDs for 2 hours a day to push building up trichomes.

Week 7 is over now and the time to harvest is near. They will get one last week to ripen the trichomes, they are almost cloudy with some amber ones and little clear ones.

Finally week 8 is done and ready to harvest. Cut both down today and hung them up in my tent, assisted by a dehumidifier set to 50% humidity.

Harvest was easy, there were only some minor leaves around the buds. Buds are tight and firm, full of smell, but the cutter got sticky very fast. Lots of trichomes everywhere. And for a "All in One" nutrition I am happy with the results. You should prepare your harvest when harvesting in cannabis-prolematic countries as the smell is everywhere while trimming and manicuring. I had to do this at night with open windows and some air freshener before the smell is everywhere in the house.
