@itwasntme, thanks!

@TheManicOrganicDK, that's odd, I only write here and there about plans to switch to 12/12 but never tag it as 12/12 from seed technique, I guess that's a growdiaries' search engine's issue

@bobtheblob, yeah you are spot on regards the rise in ph and I have raised my EC accordingly👍 I too am a fan of the chunk although I remember it wasn’t the most pleasant to trim or look wise but had a lovely flavour and high. I still microdose even now so my tolerance is on the low side. If you self that plant is should carry the characteristics of the plant but I usually tend to keep at least a single cut alive until I feel the need to run it again. I am extra nervous of the pollen release contaminating my flowering chambers as I have had this happen before lol. Real selection of new strains, that sour kosher will pack a punch, kosher was in the top 10 world strongest cannabis for many many years and I grew DNA’s chocolate kush which had kosher in and that was a knockout

@Esoteric_growing, thanks for sharing the apple/critical thing! I don't know shit in breeding yet and wonder if it disappears if I self those cuttings. :-D Missed the question about the Barney's strains - I've actually only tried a couple from them, I liked pineapple chunk besides the runtz muffin since it was giggly and euphoric, strawberry lemonade was super weird and not very potent as I said before. Critical previous time felt like an old-school dope, and I was super sleepy after smoking it, the smell of that pheno was more on the pine-like side. Tropicanna was picked because it was also being sold as sativa-giggly-high and that what I was looking for at that time :-) Oh and about a year ago I've grown gorilla skittles but the effects were almost like if you're tripping on shrooms with minor visuals. Though I've been microdosing at that time :-D I'm somewhat new to growing, about 5 years but had a small closet grow before, and now am super eager to try all the shit that exists on the market. I've popped a few more seeds recently and now it's sour kosher from dna seeds, white lemon from strain hunters, bubba kush from barney (sold out on their site but still in stock on zamnesia) and eleven roses from delicious seeds. Also bought a small rosin press sooo this 'hobby' is developing in multiple directions XD P.S. Googled about the changes in PH and found at least one statement that it might be a sign that they can eat more. Though it was stated for hydroponics

@bobtheblob, yeah man I would also be a bit lazy with a little build up so your not alone lol. That was until I got my water vac as it makes my job of collecting the run off so much easier so it’s encouraged me to increase my run off amount. Weird though my run off ph seems to be going up to 6.4 even with about 20-30% run off. I am really liking the sound of that apple pheno critical kush, I think it comes from the critical side as I had a critical from medical seeds when I lived in Spain I also called the apple pheno and was loved by all. I have cuttings off two out of the four runtz but typically I wanted the two I didn’t have😂 especially what I called the purple gelato pheno but my pal just popped 6 seeds of runtz muffin so I will get a cut of each of those and hunt through them for a keeper. I didn’t try and re veg as I had removed all the lower growth and was all decent size buds and nothing small or wispy buds to give myself a good chance to re veg. Man there’s nothing wrong with a little obsession over these plants brother👍

@Esoteric_growing, well then you're number one person I'll send the seeds if everything will work out 😁 Seeds should be ready in 2 months or so if I won't fail in between steps

@bobtheblob, tropicanna x runtz hell yeah sounds great🔥 Man if the plants is liking it stick to it👍 I was going to say something else but i forgot as now I am just wondering about the runtz x tropicanna lol. Nice grow brother and I look forward to your next update

@Esoteric_growing, yeah she always reminds me of your Runtzs :) About the current EC level - I feel like she actually can handle it, I have 5 clones next to her now and they didn't have that burn she had at the beginning of flowering and look kinda fine. I think I'll add some pictures next week, and might continue the diary after the harvest, I wasn't taking pictures of them so not sure if starting a new diary would make sense... Oh and I also reverted one clone and am planning to make some seeds for the first time :-D I wonder how tropicanna x runtz would look like ahah

@bobtheblob, I think the tropicanna is the pheno you want and probably have by the sound of it👍 I have never had a strong banana aroma from weed and not sure it I would like it lol My last run of the single runtz cutting was better bud size and density but did not turn purple as much and doesn’t seem to smell as good but it’s still curing in the jars for another 2 weeks so hopefully it gets better. Maybe I should have let it run to 63 days instead of 58.

@Esoteric_growing, I was googling ancestors pictures and this one looks very much like Tropicana cookies, rosin also tastes tropical, with no weirdness. I'm drying the buds in a paper bag and it smells roasted garlic or something similar, so I thought it would taste weird but it's sweet. So taste/aroma also kinda good. Not Runtz though ahah. And no overripe bananas with this pheno for me

@bobtheblob, those numbers are as you say usually with double ended 1000w gavitas with perfectly controlled rooms. Normally I don’t exceed 1.6 unless I see a specific need. Always happy to add something if I feel it can help👍

@Esoteric_growing, yep that what I come to realize lately also. I think I might read some pointing 'using 1kW HPS lamps' and I was like okay maybe that's the reason the numbers are usually that high. And well of course they all need to sell more. Capitalism, yay. Thanks a lot for keeping an eye on this one! Always happy to read your comments 😊

@Esoteric_growing, the shitty part is that I've got a perpetual grow here and not sure I could disinfect the room properly, they lay eggs on the bottom side of the leaves on new growth and I don't want to cut all the girls right away. So thinking about going the opposite direction, leaving the box open for some time and inviting predators by doing so, and also to defoliate to remove the eggs and lower the humidity, they like it tropical as far as I can get... Oh, and I also tried to suck them with a vacuum cleaner 😆 An act of anger. Was it a greenhouse in Spain btw? About the Tropicanna - I also like the bud structure but not so excited with the smell, it's very subtle and mostly earthy to me now, I don't quite get it. Can't wait to taste it actually, was thinking about cutting one of those tops a couple of times

@Esoteric_growing, thanks for cheering me up :-D I'm on my way with cold shock, wifey likes to leave the window wide open since it's 'too humid' ahah. And instead of defoliation, I kicked the shit out of the neighbor plant.

@Esoteric_growing, thanks! But notice that this one might be affected by the knot I tied on it when it was a seedling (check germination week), so I'm a bit worried about her actually. I first did it when saw that some are putting a ring on a stem limiting its width and thus speeding up the flowering, then just for fun. Then I stopped :-D Now I know that it limits the size of the plant and can potentially kill it because by tightening the loop the plant starts to 'choking' itself, I've posted a pick of Kabul Express that unscrewed itself on week 9. So if this one will start looking dwarfy (expecting that) it is most likely because of the knot

@Wachsemilian, wow, thanks a lot! Awesome diaries! And she's gonna do better in the flowering tent, my dog won't bite her anymore :-D
