Pow pow and welcome Ladies and Gentlemen 🙌
It’s officially week 10. Week 5 of flower 🌹
Yet another busy week in our Christmas garden... to gain back control over the flowering tent we needed to go through next defoliation as lots of buds in middle area was covered by fan leafs.
Basically few hours after my last weeks post I’ve noticed that 1 of 3 Blueberry Cookies decided to change the gender by growing pollen sacks. Plant was straight away removed from tent and destroyed.
Remaining two started to change colours on flowers and I absolutely love it.
Runtz Muffins - in great shape, covered with buds on every level. That’s the tallest plant I’ve ever done!
Still have two seeds left so I will plan to run it completely different next time - maximising potential even more.
This week we are aiming for:
EC1.8 / 1.9
pH 5.8
Watering 2 litres every 24h
Stay tuned 🤘
Heyo good evening, I have a little question mate.
First of all beautiful grow looks really fruity and good, congratulations!
But did you notice if there are micro seeds in your calyxes? Are there any in there? : /
Best greetings ✌️🏻
@DesDeGrower, Ouh okay mate.
But you mean real seeds right?
What I meant are tiny microseeds with the size of a sugar corn. But you didn't have this or?
@@krossercruiser, thanks mate. In entire grow I managed to find around 5-6 seeds and I know I’m not the only one. Probably still very fresh genetics are the issue behind. Still, very good smoke with really nice aroma and flavour 👌
@desdegrower Amazing grow 🔥 looking at yours compared to mine ave got a lot to learn am in day 13 and the soil is wet all the time is this the issue why mine are slow I am down the canna nutrients should I change it up and go advanced nutrient will 14 litre pots be ok for final pot anything u could help me with will much appreciated ✌️ happy growing
@Scottishgrower710, cheers buddy 👌 on the very beginning it’s good to not overwater the plants. Give them 24/48 hours break before next watering. With soil you need to let the top part of medium get dry before watering. I’m using only coco so not much expertise with growing in soil. If it goes to nutrients. Don’t change the program. If you decided to go with canna stay with canna till the end. Basically rule of thumb if it goes to nutrients is always less is more. I’m using half of guidance from the bottle. As example instead of 10ml of A&B per 10 litres I’m using only 5 etc.
Pots- on my first grow I was using 30l fabric pots on next ones 20l and the difference is very small so staying with 20litres. My next run I’m planning to go with autos for a first time and they will go probably to 16litres. Any issues or questions let me know 🤘 happy growing 😎
Congratulations on the win man!☺️What a fantastic grow.👍 I'm getting ready to start a runtz muffin grow myself. Already got the seeds so it's nice to the success with this strain.😉Just started several new grows so the runtz will be after these ones that are in progress. Will be posting today.
So, I'm just wondering, upon scoping your diary on this grow I see you're using Ph perfect base Advanced Nutrients, but that you also have ph down on your nute list. I'm wondering what you were testing out at and where you brought it down to? I'm using Advanced Nutrients as well and was testing out at 7 which many of my associates said was to high, but I had 4 great grows. Thanks in advance bro, and congrats again. Really nice grow!☺️✌️
@Nordynllc,Thanks bro 🙏 The reason I’m using pH down is quality of my tap water. pH Perfect works only with RO water, deionised water or distilled water. Due to using coco I need to go down to as low as 5.5 and after adding all Advanced Nutrients I was ending around 6.5
Unfortunately running grow on Advanced Nutrients and deionised water is extremely costly so this was my test grow using tap water.
With those nutrients remember to always cut recommended rate by half on everything. Instead of 10ml / 1litre use 5ml and so on.
Runtz like to stretch as hell after flip so look out for your space. Perfect for proper scrog due to internodes 👌
Have fun and once again thank you 🙏
@Esoteric_growing,thank you very much. Fingers crossed for you next time! Indeed I’m planning to run it again as still two seeds left from my 5 pack 😎 I will probably run them after this cycle. Started Barney’s “Cheese” two weeks ago 👌
Hey I've got a question, cause I'm going to do a similar grow as yours
What type of ventilation system did you use and what type humidifier did you use?
Do you have any other advise that i can use following your grow?
Thanks in advance! :)
Thank you for posting this useful diary as well.
@Freedomfarmer42, Hi there :)
First of all thank you for visiting my diary. Much appreciated.
My setup is very simple:
- 4 inch SYSTEMAIR RVK FAN (184m3/hour) with ducting and carbon filter outside the tent to just eliminate the smell
- no intake fan with just one ventilation window opened on the bottom of the tent
- two 4 inch RAM oscillating fans with bar mounting
- RAM 10 litres dehumidifier (highly recommended)
The only advice I can give you..be vigilant. Try to be in your garden every day. For nutrients remember that always less is better. Water is very important - RO or deionised/distilled with as low PPMs as possible - if you using Advanced Nutrients.
If you will have any questions - hit me up. Always happy to help 👌
Have a nice journey 🤘
I too am seeing slower bud production at 28 days in flower than I would normally expect, hopefully it’s just one of those strains that push harder later in the flowering period.
Can I ask if your leaves are naturally darker than most strains? mine are a real dark green even with light feedings.
@Esoteric_growing,Indeed I’ve noticed same thing. First I was thinking it’s Nitrogen issues however same as you I’m more likely to say that it’s a strain thing. Have a great next week of fun 😎
looking good buddy, I have found after many years of growing that blueberry or plants with blueberry genetics have a much bigger tendency to hemi than any other strains I have seen or grown. Main thing is you spotted them👍
@Esoteric_growing, that’s a good tip to look at. Thank you 🙏 This particular plant went through lots of stress and I was expecting that she may turn on me this way. Main thing to be a good grower - spending time with your plants every day. That’s the biggest chance to react on time 😀 All best 🙌
Can I ask how often and how much many litres you are pouring through each feed? Mine seem to droop quite badly no matter how often I feed or if I feed a little or a lot. I see other growers of this strain also have fairly droopy leaves.
Yours are looking good buddy👍
@Esoteric_growing, Hi there and thank you 🙌 I’m feeding constantly around 1-1,5 litres every 24h.
They are in 20 litres pots and I’m using HydroCoco 60/40 mix with clay pebbles.
I too have found them a little slow to get going, mine were not shocked and still a bit behind what I would expect. I am probably about 4-5 days behind you.
I look forward to see how yours turn out in coco compared to mine in soil👍
@Esoteric_growing, great stuff. That will be a nice adventure to see how they will act in different medium 😎🤘 hitting that follow button 😉 Have a great day 👌
