14 weeks from seed to harvest (4 for veg. & 10 for flo.) is a bit long, but I got plenty of time so...😁 My 2 cents : - I bought a flat heater (veg. week 2) and it changed everything : I guess I added a week to veg. with these colder first weeks. - A nutrients lock (flo. week 3) needed flushing : maybe added another week to flo. Full organic grow in 3 gal smartpot with light LST and lollipopping, final height is 55 cm. Plant was packed with light green buds golf ball sized, covered with TC and beautifull dark green fan leaves, a true beauty. The smell is something different, no fruity notes here : you can already notice something like hash in the air! Relative humidity was a bit high during flo. (60~65%) with 25°C yet it ended well. I'm happy, even trimming was a peace of cake! And made almost 1g pressed hash with kief from trim material...😍

Very nice strain, easy to grow. Perfect for a 35*35cm sqare (4 in a 70*70cm tent). I tied down 6 lowest branches and lollipopped all of them, added a tutor with no other training. Buds are gorgeous : fat with trichromes everywhere. The smell is present since early flowering.

It grew nicely with a pink touch on flowers. I just tied down lower branches for air cirulation. Nutrients lock in second flowering week, solved with flushing. It drinks a lot! Had to water every 3, 4 days max. The smell stayed weak and became noticeable only in the last weeks. Buds don't look as hard as I would like but we'll see after trimming and curing. Can't say about resistance as there was no pest and it grew indoor in controled atmosphere.

2024/03/25 : It stayed dwarf because of me. I thought it was dead seed so I put it in the trashbin. 2 days later, I saw its root and planted it in a too small pot with a mix of about anything was left and didn't mind it. I had to transplant after a few weeks as it lived : that's not recommended for autoflower and it needed about a week to recover. It endured nutriments lock too, yet it was still alive after a good flush and went to the end to gave me something (maybe 10~15g dry). Fan leaves became red while flowering and the end smell was very strong : get your carbon filter ready! I vaped 150 mg of popcorn buds after only 3 days drying and was very high and energic for about one hour that passed in a blink, then I felt quite good and peacefull for another hour. Surprisingly, it tasted good too so early in drying process. I'll do a complete report after 3 months curing.

She grew 75 cm tall with lots of side branches and gave me about 39 g from 1 gallon coco coir in 11 weeks. The stretch was impressive : a bit too much for my grow tent. 😅

She grew almost onebud 50 cm tall and gave me about 25 g from 1 gallon coco coir in 11 weeks. I call it a decent harvest.

She grew almost onebud 43 cm tall and gave me about 24 g from 1 gallon coco coir in 11 weeks. I call it a decent harvest.

More than half has rotten... It looks like spider net between lower buds and branch and they are grey in the inside. I kept buds from top and lateral branches, we'll see how it turn.

Nothing special here to mention... haven't seen a single bug. Runtz handled 30°C and 70-80% RH like a champ.

My second attempt with this particular strain (first time was a failure as I got about 15g with one plant in 3 gallons smartpot). It handled 30°C and RH between 60 to 70% without problem. No bugs nor diseases (4 plants full indoor and 2 finished outdoor). It was watered once a week and kept alive thanks to cocomat & easy2go by autopot during last two months following biotabs schedule. I removed lower parts and yellow leaves, no other training. Got 2 phenos : 4/6 was most sativa and 2/6 most indica, so I got plants from 36 cm to 93 cm in 1 gal smartpot with coco. I wanted to do a SOG and learnt the hard way you shouldn't with autos...😅 I had to finish two of them outdoor in my garden with zucchini and tomatoes.

Another grow without bug nor diseases, lucky grower! 😁 Not sure about the strain but it was cool to experiment new tricks with it. It's feminized hybrid with more sativa than indica and was really nice to grow : I loved managing clones in SOG and spent a lot of time with mainlining but I now see the possibilities offered by photoperiodics and will redo it with high quality strain.

I think there was no desease involved in this grow, nor a single bug. Got something wrong after a few weeks in flowering : brown spots everywhere on leaves that were solved by using pH-up to maintain watering solution at pH=6.5, everything else was OK. It stayed low and thanks to LST (tie-down) it topped at only 35cm! Perfect for low tent. I defoliated several times and it was essential as there was a bunch of leaves everywhere. It took 15 weeks from seed to harvest : I could have harvested one week sooner but I waited for the good amount of amber trichromes.
