OG and CBD got the chop yesterday. Sorry I forgot to take pics of it. I was rushing through it as we had dinner plans and it took way longer than I expected. Was also pretty baked which didn’t help lol. They’re currently drying at buddy’s house so will take pics next week. OG was probably a bit early but I don’t mind an energetic high. She was also battling rot so I wanted to salvage as much as I could. Should get close to a pound from her and maybe a half pound from CBD. Gonna give Shark Shock one more week as she’s a bit behind the others. I’m not worried about rot as she’s been the most resilient. Temps are gonna get to the low single digits so I hope it doesn’t stress her too much. Her leaves are turning purple from the colder weather already.

Week two.😎

Started with some bent which really made side branching take off. I'm just doing leaf tucking, all branches get plenty of light, so no need for bending IMO. One is quite a bit bigger than the other, if this is a fenotype thing or something I did we will never know since the sample is too small to make conclusions... So its the one in the slightly smaller pot that is bigger. Also, I switched positions between both to see if this makes difference... but I never noticed hotspots or such in my earlier grows.... One of my annoyances of small-scale operations is that there is never enough data to be able to make conclusions based in facts. It could always be nature or nurture, because I lack control groups. Maybe my government will someday finally see the backwater retardedness of our way of dealing with cannabis. For now no other option than staying within the law. I like weed and growing but I like my freedom more. The XL Runtz are remarkably resistant and vigorous, with extreme growth in just under three weeks after germination. Beautiful plants and they handle a high light / high organic nute situation from very early on. Coming week I'll just be leaf tucking, no further LST since they are already going into flower. Ill be adding BAC Organic Flower coming days along with my solution of wood ash and perma tea. Also Ill be starting the three 56 ltr growbags to start the three regulars that will run in the same 18 hr lightschedule. And that light, trusty SP-3000, what a machine, what results so far and how reliable so far. She doesn't get too warm at all, just contributes to a nice greenhouse atmosphere without any climate management other than me checking temps and RH. Usually, I need no adjusting, no ventilation, no heating or airco, my system is pretty self-containing and autonomous in the stabile attack where it is. And lets be real, I get results as in grams per watt and per plant that only the 600 watt / Hydroponic guys get. With organic growing, in such small scale with 300 watt. So thank you Mars Hydro again for letting us try it and if you are in the market for a new light check www.mars-hydro.com for their current deals! Thanks all for following again. Hug Bud

I have already said everything, in principle, I advise everyone to grow this variety, I got an amazing tree half purple with giant cones and a large harvest, I am delighted!

So another week successfully chalked off. Moved from organic powdered nutrients up to this point onto synthetic nutes. Also cleaned up all of their skirts and nipped off any buds that will turn into larf. Plus a defoliation in the canopies. And they have all responded well, really stretching now and I’ve spotted a few trichomes already. So all swimmingly at the moment long may it continue. Thanks for reading, have a great week 😊

Wochenbericht: Papaya Frosty – Ende Blütewoche 6 / Start Woche 7 Vom Fundament bis unters Dach: Wenn Selektion auf pure Naturkraft trifft Heute ist der letzte Tag der sechsten Blütewoche und ab morgen starten wir offiziell in die Blütewoche 7. Meine Papaya Frosty zeigt jetzt unter den Polycarbonat-Platten meines Gewächshauses ihre wahre, monumentale Pracht. Dieses Gewächshaus ist kein gewöhnliches Setup, sondern ein echtes Ökosystem: 4 Meter breit, 8 Meter lang und stolze 3 Meter hoch. Es ruht auf einem soliden Fundament, das einen halben Meter tief in die Erde eingegraben ist, während das Dach mit strategischen Umluftspalten konstruiert wurde. Um der Natur maximale Freiheit zu geben, bleiben Türen und Fenster rund um die Uhr, 24/7, sperrangelweit geöffnet. Das Ergebnis? Draußen herrscht seit gestern Nacht Dauerregen, doch im Inneren zieht ein permanenter, natürlicher Luftstrom durch das dichte Grün. Keine einzige feuchte Stelle, kein stehendes Wasser auf den Blättern – nur das perfekte Gewächshausklima für die anstehende finale Phase. Das Fundament: Eine Pipeline in der Muttererde Alles an dieser Pflanze beginnt im Verborgenen. Dadurch, dass sie direkt in der tiefen Muttererde steht, konnte sie ein Wurzelnetzwerk aufbauen, das keine Topfgrenzen kennt. Wer den Blick an den Boden richtet und den Zollstock anlegt, sieht sofort das Ergebnis: Der Hauptstamm hat an der Basis einen unfassbaren Durchmesser von 6,5 Zentimetern erreicht. Er ist massiv verholzt, tief gefurcht und arbeitet wie eine gigantische hydraulische Pipeline, die ununterbrochen Kraft nach oben pumpt. Dieses Fundament ermöglichte mir eine radikale Schnitttechnik. Ich habe die Pflanze konsequent auf den Haupttrieb und fünf starke Beine selektiert. Bis auf eine Höhe von 1 Meter wurde alles rigoros gelollipoppt – keine Energie verschwindet hier in schwachem Popcorn-Bugholz. Erst ab dieser Ein-Meter-Marke durften sich die Triebe entfalten, die nun von zwei Scrog-Netzen im Zaum gehalten werden. Das erste Netz sichert die Struktur bei 1,40 Meter, das zweite fängt die Wucht bei 2,20 Meter ab. Die mittlere Etage: Steinharte Knospenmasse Die Bilder aus der mittleren Etage (zwischen 1,40 m und 2,20 m) zeigen, was diese selektierte Energie bedeutet. Die Buds sind hier bereits über 5 Zentimeter dick – und zwar reine Blütenstruktur, ohne die abstehenden Blätter. Was mich zum Ende dieser 6. Woche am meisten fasziniert: Jede einzelne Knospe, bis hinunter zur kleinsten im Halbschatten, ist schon jetzt vollkommen fest und steinhart. Die Blütenkelche stapeln sich dicht an dicht, während ein dichter, frostiger Teppich aus glasklaren Trichomen die Zuckerblätter überzieht. Die langen Stigmen stehen noch makellos schneeweiß im Saft. Das ist das Zeichen: Hier wird noch aktiv Masse gebaut. Gestern gab es das letzte Mal Nahrung – organisch mit Biobizz und Top Max. Pünktlich zum Start von Woche 7 bricht nun die reine Herbstphase an, in der die Pflanze beginnt, sich langsam aus eigenen Reserven zu zehren. Der Blick nach oben: Der 60-Zentimeter-Hauptmast Doch das eigentliche Spektakel spielt sich ganz oben ab, wo die Pflanze die Decke berührt. Die Hauptspitzen thronen auf einer schwindelerregenden Höhe von 2,50 bis 2,60 Metern. Wenn man den Zollstock von der allerobersten Budspitze nach unten führt, offenbart sich die absolute Ausnahmeerscheinung dieses Grows: Der Hauptmast bildet eine durchgehende, majestätische Blütenstruktur von weit über 60 Zentimetern Länge! Interessanterweise verläuft die Reifung hier oben umgekehrt. Während die mittlere Etage schon kompakt ausreift, steht der riesige Hauptmast direkt unter dem Dach im absoluten Fokus des Sonnenlichts. Diese massive Lichtenergie treibt die Spitze unaufhörlich an – sie schiebt immer weiter vitale, hellgrüne Blätter und frische Blütenetagen nach oben. Sie will einfach noch nicht aufhören zu wachsen. Es ist ein faszinierender Spagat zwischen der bereits reifenden Mitte und dem unbändigen Vorwärtsdrang der Krone. Wir gehen nun ab morgen mit Woche 7 auf die Zielgerade zu. Das Fundament steht, die Blütenmasse ist extrem dicht und die Luftzirkulation könnte nicht besser sein. Ich bin gespannt, wie weit diese 60-cm-Riesencola in den nächsten Wochen noch anschwellen wird, wenn die Erde langsam aushungert. Bleibt dran – der Endspurt hat gerade erst begonnen!

Figure I have about 3-4 weeks before her estimated chop date, just letting her swell up some more

01/21 - Happy 3rd Birthday! Gave her a bucket and nute change today... ramped up the nutes to 5.25g of Dakine 420 Base and 5.25g of Dakine 420 Grow. Added in some H2O2 to help clean out the roots of the sediment left over from the old bucket... top watering seedlings brings down a lot of sediment into the bucket so this is the time I really want to give a complete change of "scenery" to the plant. Over the past week, I had increased her EC bringing it up to 0.8 which, really, is unheard of for an autoflower this age - but she kept telling me she was VERY hungry... I give credit to this nute line, I think it's the best one I've ever tried so far. I switched to it in mid-grow of a soil grow I did and the results were spectacular... Now that I've figured out how to adjust for a DWC grow with them, I'm really excited... and to see the plant tolerating such a high EC ... well... I've got great hopes! 01/22 - well, the little lady did NOT like the extra nutes.. at all!!! And the pH had swung WAY up this morning ... things were so bad, I'm not going to publish the pic I took of her this morning until she's recovered so as not to stress you out! I'm not worried about her - but you probably would be if you could see what she looked like... poor thing... adjustments have been made and she's already starting to come back ... will update again tomorrow, of COURSE! :-D 01/23 - She's not pulling out of it as fast as I'd hoped but then she REALLY took a hit. Poor little thing! She IS improving and she WILL be ok... I'm just going to have to stop thinking of her as SuperWoman... I doubt these leaves will ever look very good again - thankfully, they're early leaves and they'll soon be eclipsed by new, bigger and better leaves and at some point, I can just lop them off! :-D Eating some humble pie right about now! I rolled her EC back to 0.7 but she's acting just a little bit hungry this morning so I think I'll try to bring it back up to 0.8 - that's going to be an interesting exercise given that these nutes are dry and pretty potent .. going to try to put .75g of the base and the grow in to see how that does... we'll see... sigh.... Update: I gave a lot of thought about what I should do here and ended up doing a bucket change. Along with her general dismal appearance, she was showing signs of a nitrogen toxicity so what I decided was that I needed to change up the composition of what the EC was while I was adjusting it - and that's impossible to do with a bucket that's already got stuff in it. What she's got in her bucket now is 1.5tsp of RapidStart (hoping to boost those roots to help her out), 5g of the Base (NPK 3-13-26), 2g of the Grow (NPK 15-0-15) which may STILL be too much but... and 1/2 tsp of Calimagic. EC now sits at 0.8 which is what I wanted and the pH is 6.0. Just as I was finishing up the bucket change, her lights went out so this is good... I'll check on her again when she "wakes up" ... I won't SEE any change, I'm sure, but I'm hoping the EC and pH don't change... going to do a LOT of checking on her today! She's up from her nap and things are actually looking very good! I think I made exactly the right decision as far as her nutes are concerned.... Her leaves still look a bit like leather (very strange) and are still a little dryish but they're picking themselves up and going for the light which they weren't doing before and the clawing is starting to go away. Now feeling pretty confident in my abilities to diagnose her and make the right decisions... I'll check again just before I go to bed... and will be very anxious to take a look at her in the morning. 01/25 - She's still struggling a little bit but the growth has been at least SORT of satisfactory... I decided this morning that she still is having a tough time with as many nutes in her bucket but instead of a bucket change, simply replaced 1/2 gallon of her bucket with plain water - this brought her EC down to 0.7 - and I adjusted her pH which had been slowly rising AGAIN... so now it's sitting at 6.1. I also trimmed off the lowest leaves which were just sad to look at and were being swallowed up by the pebbles I'm adding to the netpot - so they were of no use anyway.

Flush week, straight water flush and I expect to chop and harvest this coming Sunday, maybe Saturday depending on trichomes and how dry the promix HP is. Overall I'm happy with this plants growth, she survived a heat stress issue and has developed lots of bud. While not huge buds, compared to my last grow of this strain, I'm still super pumped with this strain/plant. Updates will come after harvest and after drying for final weight total.

Start of flush.

Left N1 to grow for 2 more weeks with cotton berry plants as they need around 2 more weeks as well. All other plants are big with loads of buds. This seed line is super good

Good strech from both but there is about a 6 inch difference in the two strawberry not huge plants but will have some very decent bud good bud development
