SPRING CUP contest - Runtz

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Here we go for the Spring Cup Zami. I started 2 plants, and I'll select the prettiest one in 2 weeks to transplant into the geopot where I've prepared my substrate with the Monster Bud Mix BioNova X Zami. SPRING CUP ZAMNESIA STRAIN: Runtz SUBSTRATE: Biobizz lightmix FERTILIZERS: Monster Bud Mix from BioNova x Zamnesia at 7.5g/L of soil

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 10, I'm starting to wonder which of the two I'm going to pot for my Spring cup. There's very little difference at this point, both have well-formed leaves, good vitality, and identical growth speed. We'll see if the entire growth, as well as the appearance and flowering speed, are the same. ✌️😜 Day 11, I finally decided to keep the Runtz #2. I repotted it in a 7L pot with biobizz light-mix substrate enhanced with Monster Bud Mix from Bio Nova X Zamnesia. I didn't add anything except a light sprinkle of Mykoriza from Organics Nutrients, for easier root recovery. Other than that and the Monster Bud Mix from the contest, no additions were made to the substrate. Day 14, the recovery is going well. It's continuing its growth normally. 👍😜

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm 🖕COVID-19🖕 SPRING CUP ZAMI NOTHING TO SAY EXCEPT FUCK THE CORONA LOL! with all this Corona extra nonsense, they must have lost a ton of money on their stocks 😂🤣 No! Other than that, it's No Prob! The Monster Bud Mix does its job really well. Nothing to say. The Runtz is very pretty and its recovery went well.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 25, she is gorgeous 👌 a contest Runtz! 😂 I'm starting the 12/12 from tonight ✌️😜

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 30, everything is going well, the Runtz has switched to 12/12, and is growing nicely. There was a slight beginning of a soil fly infestation that I calmed down with essential oils of cinnamon and geranium (about 3/4 drops/L of watering water). The treatment is effective, but requires at least one more application. Otherwise, it's growing well and should soon enter pre-flowering. - That's it, pre-flowering has started, I added some PK 50/33 to the watering from the day before yesterday. I also did a little defoliation of the lower leaves that were blocking light for the lower branches.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm The lady is in full stretch and is starting to gain some height. She must be in the middle of her pre-flower and everything is going well. I'm continuing with the 50/33. The issue with the soil gnats is starting to settle down (eradicating them completely is very complicated when watering is staggered for each plant, but I'm getting to the end of the problem).

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm The Monster Bud Mix gives great results, it has already stretched 20cm and the buds are growing really well for the start of flowering. One more watering at 50/33 and I could switch it to Hesi 13/14.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm I laid down a mulch at the base to prevent pot flies from re-establishing as much as possible. Otherwise, everything is going wonderfully for the Runtz, which received its first dose of 13/14 Hesi yesterday. I also did a good defoliation from the base of the branches and sensors up to 2/3 of the plant. The flowers are growing day by day; it's going to be beautiful at the end. Day 56, 3 weeks into flowering, and it's doing great. It's preparing some nice, chunky buds, and the leaves are loaded with trichomes. 👍😋

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm La Runtz is doing very well in its 4th week of flowering and is preparing some really nice buds, I think. I added Bio Heaven, Acti Vera, and Top Max from Biobizz (I'm going for one watering out of two) in addition to the 13/14. If I see that it's behaving well, I might do it for all the waterings. ✌️😜

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Midway through week 5, I've added Acti Vera, Bio Heaven, and Top Max from Biobizz for the last 2 waterings, along with the 13/14 Hesi that I increase each week, and she seems to appreciate it. I'll keep going like this until week 8 of flowering, then I'll cut everything and flush it. But we're not there yet, each day has its challenges. 🤘😋

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 70, reaching the middle of full bloom, I did a big defoliation. Now, I won't touch her again until she matures, when I'll do one last big defoliation. Otherwise, she's doing great, I'm following the Biobizz and Hesi programs weekly for the supplements I've added to the Monster Bud Mix. The buds are starting to take on nice shapes and are covered in a white layer of fine trichomes. She's also starting to have quite a strong smell during handling. 🤘😜

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 78 (43 of flowering) after a look through the microscope out of curiosity, I saw that the tip of the cola is already quite amber, while the rest is all milky. I thought it would need at least one more nutrient watering, but I ended up flushing it on its 43rd day of flowering. I honestly doubt it needs the announced 64 days, but we'll see about that. I had to put a stake in it; it couldn't hold itself up with the cola becoming very compact and therefore very heavy.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 85, +49 days of flowering, harvesting the cola that is super ripe. I can't leave it any longer. The entire upper half is very amber and the lower half is a lighter amber, but it still has a very high percentage. Check out the two photos of the trichomes, the first one is from 07/23 the day of the flush and the last one is today before harvesting. Otherwise, I'm very surprised at how quickly the cola has matured, 49 days instead of the 64 days announced. There's still 1 week left for the bottom of the plant and it should be pretty good.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Runtz is clearly an easy plant that even the youngest growers can master easily. It didn’t require any special effort from me, and it doesn’t seem to have any particular sensitivity to pests, diseases, or mold. Sorry, I totally messed up with the photos; I only have a few left. But there are the 2 weigh-ins (5-6g were already smoked before weighing). It stayed very small, 5 weeks of VEG, and it hardly stretched, so 30g.
