Runtz Muffin by barneys

@DreamIT,thanks man appreciate it

@The_Projexx,thank you bro I appreciate it hopefully it goes well as planned

@Ferenc,thanks bro

@Jayvo, Thanks mate!

@DreamOn,thanks man good luck with your gelato looks really good

@HirdoWeirdo,thanks man dropping my temps in late flower really bought them out

@Jayvo, I can just see you will need to do quite a bit of defoliation to open up bud sites and I think that doing it in two sessions lowers the stress on the plant. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong to leave it till the end of week 3 it’s just what I would do pal👍

@Esoteric_growing, in that case I’ll just defoliate 4-5 leaves per day around day 20, thanks for the heads up

@Jayvo, no worries pal. When a canopy is that busy I usually defoliate at the end of veg and again at about day 20. Some strains tend to like it more than others though, my runtz muffin seems very sensitive to any stresses and my next run I am handling them with a lot more care. Looking good though pal and I look forward to the next update

@Jayvo, the hydro is going well apart from I have two plants quite larger than the other two. Also went a bit hard on the defoliation but sure they will bounce back. They have also stretched quite a bit more than I anticipated and might have to throw a net over them to control them lol

@Esoteric_growing, Cheers man and thanks again, still in shock on how good it turned out.. can’t wait to see how your hydro runtz turns out

@Jayvo, I noticed that with the sf4000 too and started looking at others, I was set on the geek beast pro led but will definitely have a look at the Zeus👍 My 600w hps is so bad at even light distribution lol

@Esoteric_growing, So far my loupe is showing around 10% amber and the rest are cloudy, although I prefer 30% amber as I prefer the couch lock effect, the Zeus LED is the best purchase I’ve ever made, yeah it’s expensive but it’s a great investment, I was going to get the SF-4000 but it went from £450 to £650 in just under a year, it’s basically just 4 SF-1000s which I already have and I just don’t think it’s worth the price, the zeus gives my 4x4 absolute even coverage to every corner, the second I bought it I noticed the difference in a matter of 2 weeks, I honestly can’t recommend this light anymore but don’t just take my word for it you can see other people’l have the same opinion also.

@Jayvo, yeah I think you are starting to really nail it. I don’t have anything to add apart from praise for a job well done👍

@Esoteric_growing, thanks man I appreciate all the advice, thanks to you I avoided a lot of newbie mistakes, I’m just hoping it will pack on the frost like yours did

@Jayvo, I am a bit ahead of you in weeks so I would drop it down to about 1.5 making sure the A and B make up about 70% of your total EC. At your stage I only add a pk13-14 from around day 28-40 depending on strain. For the runtz I would go from 28-35 if it was ok 13-14 or if it’s the shogun pk 9-18 I would use it as per the instructions on the bottle. I only add bloom boosters after I peak the PK levels with either of the above mentioned. Only bloom boosters I use are bud xl from house and garden or shogun boost or canna boost. I normally use them from day 35 until I am about to flush. In hydro I have used more aggressive bloom stimulants such as shooting powder from house and garden but it’s very difficult to flush in soil and coco I find so tend not to use it. I think it’s very easy to over complicate growing and you can get fantastic results with minimal amount of bottles but great environment and just concentrating on keeping the plant nice and healthy. Saying that I do grow sometimes in less than ideal environments and just have to make do lol

@Esoteric_growing, cheers man it’s my second grow so always still learning, I’m only using AN because I bought a load of bottles before I researched further into growing and was just another sold newbie, I’ll slowly be switching to the full shogun lineup once my AN bottles are empty, I’m gonna drop down to 1.3 EC and hope it changes things thanks.. would you recommend molasses at this stage for a coco grow?

@russrahl, cheers man, getting really close to the end now can’t wait

@Esoteric_growing, cheers man appreciate it 👊🏻,was hoping she would have more colours by now but will probably turn my temps down as she packs on more weight hopefully it’s just cruise control from now

@Smokwiri, cheers man yours too

@Esoteric_growing, cheers man, still have a lot more to do although it’s early days until I can compare it to the quality of yours

@Esoteric_growing,cheers man I’ll be very happy if I get anything close to your quality I’m hoping the scrog will help with the stretch but thanks for the warning I have a feeling it’s going to stretch like crazy once’s she’s in flower

@Smokwiri,thank you man hoping for that aswell happy new year to you too

@Chronicbastard,yeah I will thanks I’m gonna try the shogun line up first though
