4/6 Woke to see two seedlings have lost their shell. Only one had a weird long curvy taproot that has come out of the soil. I'm not sure if I should perform surgery or just wait it out. I mean I can see the seed on top and the cotylden leaves. It's like it dips and can't hold the seedling up. The other mk ultra popped excellently and another has the seed visible. I'll do some research but I'm now doing away with peat pellets and going right into soil from now on. It seems like these just cause problems. The seedlings under the hps are doing better. I think it was smart to switch the light. I can see what MIGHT ve burns on a couple seedlings and TWO haven't developed there true leaves or are very stunted. So if those three don't make it ill be replacing them with the ones I just popped. I may pop tge other two mk ultra but more likely I'll wait the three days until my 10th planet comes. I took apart some of the sour cherry seedlings just to see how they were growing. Makes me feel better as it might not look that great on top but they were working on developing roots. I'll update later. I've got a lot going on in my life but I need to make sure I take care of my seedlings. 4/7 Pretty sure I watered today. I'll have to check but I know I did. Things are going better. I think that bigger light stunted them. The 2 mk ultra and 1 chem dog #4 sprouted and were in peat pellets. I transplanted them into solo cups with happy frog and put them on the outskirts of the light. I thought i might've lost one because the taproot came out of the ground and bent. I'm suprised it came out of it to be honest. And fast too! My Etho's 10th planet came so I'm thinking of popping a couple of those as well. They won't be stunted and this strain has done the best by me. 4/8 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS BESIDES THE FRESH TRANSPLANTS. Forgot my water yesterday so I'll pop a couple 10th planet today. I MIGHT not lose any seedlings. They seem to be coming out of being stunted. The ones that WERE stunted anyway. However there are a couple I'm not sure of. Better safe than sorry. I'm getting excited. I'm going to bring the other hps light to my cousin and he'll fix it quick. That way I might not even need to switch to the L.E.D (that I'm not as familiar with.) I'm sure it will be fine either way. Clones did great under the l.e.d. I think it's just a bit much for seedlings. Which is strange since they sprout under the sun? I have the least experience dealing with seedlings as I usually but clones. I forgot to take pictures too. I have to go back over and ill take some. ADDED A FEW PICTURES AND POPPED 2 ETHO'S 10TH PLANET SEEDLINGS. THIS WAY I CAN SAVE A FEW AND ILL HAVE MOST OF KY BEANS FOR NEXT YEAR. IVE GOT A BUNCH OF AUTOS TOO BUT IVE NEVER GROWN ONE. ONCE THINGS SETTLE DOWN AND AFTER THIS SEASON I MAY TRY MY HAND AT INDOOR AND THOSE AUTOS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THAT. NOT SURE IF I SHOULD START A SEPERATE DIARY FOR THE 10TH PLANET OR JUST KEEP GOING HERE. IF I DID IT WOULD BE A SINGLE STRAIN DIARY SO I COULD ENTER CONPETITIONS. BUT DO I REALLY WANT TOO? 4/9 DIDN'T WATER. MISTED THE TOP OF THE FRESH TRANSPLANTS. HAVENT CHECKED THE 10TH PLANET BEANS YET. ITS NOT TIME. I may end up losing a couple seedlings. I'm not sure. They may just be stunted bit I could've damaged them when I removed the seed from the seedling. Only time will tell. That's why I popped the two 10th planet beans so even of I lose a couple seedlings, I'll have what I need for the year. It's like those couple are growing taller but the true leaves had barely formed and don't seem to be getting any bigger. They probably got burned and stunted. I'll monitor them. CHECKED THE 10TH PLANET AROUND NOONTIME. WASN'T THINKING AND IT HADN'T BEEN 24HRS AND ETHOS SAYS TO WAIT 36 HOURS BEFORE CHECKING. BOTH SEEM TO BE VIABLE SEEDS ONE HAS A TAPROOT AND THE OTHER HAS SPLIT OPEN. I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON AND IM GOING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER 24 HOURS. NEXT YEAR IM GOING TO INVEST IN A HEATING PAD FOR SEEDLINGS. Edit: What a change in weather from two years ago. I got that intuition feeling so I went to check the girls. They seem to be stretching but not NEARLY as much and are now getting some leaf growth. They were all within 10 grams of dry soil weight save for one that is a larger plant. That was 217. Everything got watered with a shot glass and the soil slowly soaked it up. I even had to water the fresh transplants. They have grown to the top of the cups! I filled in the Ched dog #4 with soil and watered. The mk ultra is larger and the soil was a little chilly. I put a little under the light to warmup so I can fill in the other two plants. Man I feel better seeing them out of their slump. I never should've started with that 1000 watt led without testing it. No matter what the box says. I'll take pics tomorrow. 4/10 Had a crazy morning. Didn't take pictures as it was a hurried morning. I filled the 2 mk ultra cups with soil and watered a shotglass. Looking at the first series of seeds I started, (the pink kush and special kush #1) two of the 3 seedlings that are stunted SEEM like they might make it. I might cull them anyway if growth doesnt pick up with the others. I'll see what happens. The first true leaves are coming apart when the were straight up amd stuck together. They looked done for. Luckily we have SUCH a long veg season that even if something is stunted, we have time for it to come out of it. If it will. Things are going well since switching to the hps light. I noticed some slight yellowing on the Chem dog's first true leaves, so I pulled the tray away from the light a little bit. The two mk ultras in the same tray are fine though. I may start a new diary for the tenth planet. Not sure but the 2 seeds attempted germinated and had a nice taproot. I transplanted them DIRECTLY into solo cups with a little Happy Frog soil and Myko's and slightly covered them before misting the tops. I cut a powerade bottle in half and it fits IN the cup perfectly a humidity dome. I misted the tops as well and put them under the asrgarden light until they break ground and get their true leaves. Man I can't wait. I know it's been a rough year for EVERYONE but I've had some particularly difficult situations. Can't wait for this season to start. Next time I go over I'll get some pictures but nobody really wants to see seedlings. They pretty much all look the same. At least I learned something. Oh and I took apart all the sour cherry seedlings that were growing and dissected them and found why a couple had problems. Seedlings are what I have the least experience with so when my whole pack didn't pop I wanted to see if it was me but it wasn't. All those other beans popped and I got some hands on experience dealing with seedlings so maybe a blessing in disguise!. EDIT: WENT OVER AND CHECKED THE PLANTS. I WEIGHED THEM AND I ASSUME THEY WILL NEED WATER TOMORROW. I DID WATER 3 I THINK AS THEY WERE UNDER 200 AND HAD BIGGER PLANTS. EXCEPT THE ONE THAT LOOKS THE WORST. THAT SEEMS TO DRINK A LOT OF WATER. I THINK THAT MIDDLE ROW (2 SPECIAL KUSH 1 PINK KUSH) WERE STUNTED. HOWEVER, I CAN'T SEE WHATS UNDER THE SOIL AND THEY ARE GROWING TALKER AND DRINKING. THE TRUE LEAVES THAT ARE TINY AND LOOKED DONE FOR ARE PARTING AND THOSE PLANTS ARE STILL STRETCHING. I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT MY LAST DIARY I DID SEEDS WITH AND AM TRYING TO REPLICATE IT. ONLY THIS TINE WHILE I AM REDOING MY HOUSE AND MOVING AS WELL AS BEING A MEDICAL CARE GIVER. ENOUGH OF THAT. THE SNOW IS GONE. ITS A LITTLE DISCOURAGING LOOJING AT SMALL SEEDLINGS INSTEAD OF BIG CLONES BUT BY THE END OF THE SUMMER THE SEEDS WILL SURPASS ANY CLONE I BOUGHT AND I WONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT CONE WITH CLONES. I NEED TO EMPTY AND CLEAN MY BAGS AND CLEAN AND STERILIZE MY GROW AREA. I ALSO NEED TO POISON THE CAGE AND BLOW ALL ORGANIC MATERIAL OUT AND POISON THE STRUCTURE ITSELF. 4/11 Seedlings are doing ok. I'm wondering if I should put up the other hps as thats what I did the year before when I did seeds. However they weren't "stressed" or "stunted." I think I MAY lose one but the other two had the true leaves stuck together and looked crispy. They've since started to open and I can see new growth. Other seedlings seem to be taking off and finally developing some leaves. The 2 mk ultra and 1 chem dog #4 didn't experience that other light and they seem to be doing great! Checked the 10th planet and one seed is poking out of the ground. I can't see the other one yet but it was a little further behind and I may have sowed it deeper. WATERED everything but the mk ultra and chemdog. I just misted the top of the soil. 4/12 WATERED ALL THE KUSH WiTH A SHOT GLASS. The mk ultra and chem dog didn't need it. Weighed cups and the lowest was 199 to about 207. The three stunted or (damaged) plants seem to be coming out of it. At least new growth is coming and they are drinking just as much as their siblings. I'll play it by ear and see how it goes. The jumped in size just since this morning bit phone was dead. Both 10th planet are now showing in the soil! Things are going good. I'm stoked!

Hello:) This week was easy again, watered them twice, kept the tops under the net for a few more days and then I just let them grow. I also had to raise the wasabi again, it stopped stretching like a week ago. The sangrias are also developing nicely, they are almost done stretching now. I didn‘t add any nutrients this week, a friend of mine who uses biotabs for years said I should be very careful with adding bio pk 5-8 because he had problems with over fertilizing even when using a very small dose. Since the leaves still look perfect, I‘ll wait a bit. Also the bugs are back, they seem to come in waves but nothing my sticky tape can‘t handle:) Looking forward to next week, the wasabi is small but already starting to pack some nice buds:)

Final week. Power buds from Plagron helps accelerate the flowering period for sure. I am harvesting tomorrow.😎 This week no fertilizers just water only. Overall happy with the way they shaped up, compared to other strains from other breeders. Need to see after harvest but as a first impression this strain is amazing. The smell now is out of this world. Zesty!!!Lots of citrus scent.Loving it. As for the LST only vs topped. I like the LST only. It matured faster. It is bigger. It has more bud sites . Had an overall better structure. Refer to videos for comparison. But need to see the harvest, weight, smoke report for full comparison Till harvest 👏🎉

Hey, cannabis enthusiasts and connoisseurs! 🌿🔥 The journey with our Runtz F1 has been nothing short of legendary, and now we’re at the stage that every grower eagerly awaits—the trim and smoke report. This Runtz F1 has delivered beyond expectations, and I can’t wait to share the details with you. Let’s dive in! The Trim Process 🌾✂️ The trimming process was an experience in itself, filled with care and attention to detail. Here’s how it all went down: • Breaking Down the Branches 🌿: • First, we carefully broke down the plant into manageable branches, making sure to preserve the integrity of each bud. The structure of the Runtz F1 made this easy, with its dense, compact colas ready for precision trimming. • Trim Bin Magic ✂️: • Using a Trim Bin, we meticulously trimmed away the sugar leaves, leaving behind only the most beautiful, resin-coated buds. The Trim Bin isn’t just a tool; it’s a game-changer, allowing us to catch every last bit of precious kief that falls during the process. This extra kief is like a bonus for those special moments when you want to add a little something extra to your smoke. • Preserving Terpenes with Grove Bags 🛍️: • Once trimmed, the buds were placed into Grove Bags for curing. These bags are revolutionary in the cannabis world, designed to lock in terpenes and keep your buds fresh for the long haul. Unlike traditional jars, Grove Bags use a special TerpLoc technology that creates a perfect microclimate within the bag, balancing out oxygen and moisture levels. This means your buds cure evenly without the need for burping, preserving that incredible citrus terpene profile we’ve come to love from the Runtz F1. The Legendary Smoke 🌬️🔥 Now, let’s talk about the smoke—because this is where the Runtz F1 truly shines. • Flavor Explosion 🍊🍋: • The moment you take your first inhale, you’re hit with a symphony of citrus flavors. It’s like walking through a citrus grove with the sun shining down—notes of oranges, tangerines, and lemons come through strong, each one distinct yet harmoniously blended. But the magic doesn’t stop there; an underlying hint of vanilla sneaks in on the exhale, rounding out the flavor with a creamy, smooth finish. It’s an experience that dances on your palate, leaving you craving more. • Aroma 🌿🌸: • The smell is just as captivating as the flavor. As soon as you open the Grove Bag, the room fills with that zesty citrus aroma, complemented by a subtle sweetness from the vanilla undertone. It’s the kind of smell that makes you pause and appreciate the craft that went into growing this plant. • The Effects 🌟: • The effects of the Runtz F1 are as balanced as its flavor profile. Expect an initial wave of uplifting energy—perfect for daytime use or when you need a creative boost. As the high settles in, it mellows into a relaxed, yet focused state. It’s the best of both worlds: energizing without being overwhelming, and calming without knocking you out. This makes it an ideal strain for those who want to stay productive while still enjoying a potent, flavorful smoke. Final Thoughts and Invitation 🎥✨ The Runtz F1 has proven itself to be a true connoisseur’s strain—a perfect blend of flavor, aroma, and effects that’s both complex and satisfying. This was a journey that showcased the importance of patience, precision, and care, from germination all the way to the final cure. If you want to dive deeper into the entire process, from the first week of veg to the final trim, I’ve documented it all on my YouTube channel. Join me there for a closer look at how this incredible strain came to life, and learn more about the tips and techniques I used to bring out the best in these plants. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey, from the community to the amazing brands like Gro Diaries, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Kannabia, and more. Your support and tools have been invaluable. Remember, the magic is in the details—so never stop learning, growing, and enjoying the fruits of your labor.

W16 - after a pretty hot week ESTHER shows some signs of existing on the dry side of her life. This made me concern about her well-being. Perhaps I slightly overlooked her recently in regards to watering. Nice weather ☀️ and beer gardens 🍻make me forget about her Also during a LST and my inattention, I damaged one of the branches 🙈 I taped it quickly to the main cola, thought that should help. After few days I removed the tape and check on it. By touching it I made it even worst. In the end, I remove the branch, cut off the loose end, and put it in the glass of water to prompt the plant to grow its roots. I don't have any idea what I am going to do with this... So after 4 months of quite smooth growing with a few bumps here and there, I had not the best week in the office 😕 I need a hug 😔

Well I wasn't planning on doing a journal for this one but I figured because of the three leaves it might be cool to show people. I have only had this happen one time before and I was just starting out growing Micro managing and I killed it...lol...live and learn. A bit more experience now so fingers crossed.

Week 4 / Day 28 Flower begins today - 8/12/2021. Runoff EC has been a little high on both girls but not enough to give them any burn or anything thankfully. They are both beginning to pack on frost early on the leaves and buds are certainly getting bigger. Average of about 1.5 EC with a 1.2 inflow. Getting this back down and under control over the next couple days. With having weeks mixed up at start, the C4 was started a week early, so therefore I am going to be carrying on with C4 for this next week, then introduce the Ultimate PK. This is also going to be a week early but I’m sure it won’t be too bad, live and learn for next time. Smell is certainly increased, as soon as I open the tent there is a nice fruity/orangey smell that only gets more intense as you sniff the leaves with frost and buds that have formed. Smells unlike any other strain I’ve smoked before! LST- although stretch is now ending, the string will be left on just to allow plant to stiffen up in that shape over the next week or so, so I won’t be covering anything in the middle of the plants when the string is removed. It seems to have worked well as the stuff on the lower of plants that last time came to nothing, is already larger than what it was last time and they were a week ahead of these. Still using less than half of what mills suggest for A+B, but full strength stimulants. They don’t seem to mind as I haven’t had one piece of nute burn this run, or any signs of deficiency so I think the way I’m doing it is the way to go. Can’t wait to see these all finished up in about 4 weeks! 🙏🏻

I don’t know if it’s the rapid stack pots combined with the rain science grow bags, or the green planet nutrients but these autoflowers are huge at 54” tall. The largest I’ve ever grown indoors. I’ve always wanted to grow a purple pheno and now that moment has come. These autos are going to be show stoppers!!! I’ve very excited to share with you all.
