March 25, 2023 at 1:48 PM -Ever since I started watering them with lower pH water, 6.0 to 6.3, the 2 BOHโ€™s really started to takeoff. I might do some slight defoliation on all the plants. Iโ€™ll takeoff their lower nodes to make it easier to bend them from the main stock. The strawberry crinkle has very close internodes and is really bushy with large and thick fingers. Itโ€™s too short to try and bend over so I might have to do more of the defoliation job in order for the lower nodes to get more light. March 28, 2023 at 5:24 PM - March 29, 2023 at 2:01 PM -Iโ€™ve bent over several stems this week. I have only had one small accident with the strawberry crinkle. The top was snapped off somehow but I donโ€™t remember it happening, but it seems to be taking it well. I watered them the day before with some tea with ph at 6.3. so far I could bend over things every day. They are starting to cover the entire pot. - Todayโ€™s the last day of week three.

Germination Report: Runtz vs. Runtz ๐ŸŒฟโœจ Hey there, green thumbs and cannabis enthusiasts! ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒŸ I'm thrilled to share the exciting details of our Runtz vs. Runtz germination journey. Buckle up, because this ride is packed with fun, knowledge, and a touch of green magic! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’ซ The Germination Journey ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿš€ Our Runtz seeds were given the royal treatment from the get-go! We kicked things off with the Cannakan method, ensuring our precious seeds had the best start. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: Hydration Stage ๐Ÿ’ง: Seeds were soaked in water, embracing their first taste of life. This process lasted about 30 hours, allowing the seeds to absorb enough moisture to kickstart germination. Watching those little seeds swell up is always a magical moment! ๐ŸŒŸ Transition to Soil ๐ŸŒฟ: After their water bath, the seeds were gently transferred to soil. This crucial step ensures they have the nutrients and environment they need to grow strong and healthy. Each seed was placed in a cozy, nutrient-rich bed, ready to sprout and thrive. Understanding Runtz Genetics ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Runtz is a legendary strain, celebrated for its powerful genetics and exceptional traits.

This dynamic duo contributes to Runtz's unique flavor profile and potent effects. Flavor and Aroma ๐Ÿญ: Expect a delightful explosion of sweet, fruity flavors with a hint of candy-like goodness. The aroma is equally enchanting, filling your space with a tropical, sugary scent that's hard to resist. Effects ๐ŸŒˆ: Runtz is known for its balanced high, offering both euphoria and relaxation. Perfect for those seeking a joyful, uplifting experience that melts into a soothing body calm. What to Expect ๐ŸŒฟโœจ As our Runtz plants grow, here are a few things to watch for: Vigorous Growth ๐Ÿš€: Thanks to its robust genetics, Runtz is a strong grower. Expect rapid development, especially in the early stages. Keep an eye on those green shoots as they stretch toward the light!

Raspberry Ripple Number One and Two (Flowering Plants) This week is the final week of Flower, I am noticing milky coverage on both plants and some amber trichomes as well. I gave the last watering today of distilled, dechlorinated water, with no P.H. Adjustments at 7.2 PH. I plan to harvest April 11th. Number One Pheno- The Number One Pheno is fully swollen and ripe now. The colas are densely stacked on the canopy. The foliage is quite over-faded, with some leaves being so dried out they crumble to the touch. I don't know if this is because the plant was in a bit too small of a pot or if my light was a little much these final weeks of flower. It is definitely ready for harvest! It's smells are still heavy in the raspberry candy department, with those hints of earthy leather on the back swing. Giving the number one pheno a very unique musk. The resin is greasy and plentiful! I can't wait to take this one down and trim it up to see how it looks in a jar! Number Two Pheno- The Number Two Pheno held out a little longer in its 5 gallon pot, it's a bit smaller of a plant. It's about 65% faded now but it's trichomes look finished! It's trichomes are very stacked out and coat this plant in a snow film! It may look a little boring next to its sister color wise, but it still sports some purple and pink hues under all the frost and I still think it'll be a worthy smoke as well! It smells of a raspberry wine but with that hazy fruity power. Almost like a strong mimosa strain. Clones- The larger clones in the 55 inch 2x2 MarsHydro veg tent, were starting to drink through water quickly! Mostly the larger number one phenos. Which would consume the entire dryback of their full pots in one day. I transplanted all the plants in the 55 inch tent into square pots (2 gallons for the Number 2 Phenos, 3 gallons for the Number 1 Phenos) this should hold them over for 3 to 4 weeks, so I can harvest and dry my flowering plants. I was unable to transplant the clones in the smaller Mars Hydro 30 inch Clone Tent, due to space constraints. I'll be feeding them worm castings and Down to Earth Crab Meal tomorrow. All the clones are looking healthy and look like they would be great candidates for flowering or mother plants. Tech Upgrade- This week I was able to purchase a Photobio Phantom Par Meter at a local grow shop's going out of business sale. With this tool I'll be able to get a dead on map of my light intensity and adjust accordingly. This will be great to have when setting up my new HLG Blackbird next cycle. I also got some 15 gallon grass roots fabric pots to try in the flower room next cycle. I also reached out to AC infinity and have an upgraded Cloudray S6 Gen 2 Oscillating Clip Fan on the way. My Gen 1 fan broke and would no longer oscillate correctly. AC infinity replaced it free of charge with the latest model. I think that about sums up this week! I'm very excited to take these plants down and begin preparing for next cycle. I was extremely lucky to get such amazing results of my first Pheno hunt. I can't thank Mosca Seeds and Tiki Madman enough for selecting such great crosses. It's hard to believe I got these two seeds as a freebie pack, with another order. I'm super thankful to have Grow Diaries to use and rely on for charting my week to week data, questions I have, and comparing my findings and results to other growers with similar strains, like @THCpapa grow of Raspberry Boogie! Thank you for checking out this week's entry of my growdiaries! See you for the harvest! -Starfish

Iโ€™m trying to figure out what color these tricomes are so I know when to flush, Iโ€™m using salt based chemicals so I know I want to flush before harvest

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didnโ€™t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didnโ€™t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when Iโ€™m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didnโ€™t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

420FASTBUDS FBT2106 WEEK 6 The two of these are growing very interesting. One is stacking and bushing up quite nicely and the other almost completely opposite. There's alot more stretch on the one and very weird flower formation. I'll let it grow and see what happens but not sure really what to expect. Very pretty color purple on the one but temps have been super cold this past week as we've had a blizzard come through so I put a oil heater in the tent as it was getting way to cold and had me worried. Happy Growing

I'm going away for 30 days about a week into this grow. I'm going to automate weeks 1 through 5 by using the Blumat watering system along with the automated fan from AC Infinity. Hopefully, these will keep things going while I'm gone. I've never used the Blumat products before and I'm excited to see their potential. If I succeed, I'll return to happy 5-week old plants. If not, I'll have to start a new grow...which is what I was going to do anyway. I have nothing to lose but a couple of seeds. Let's get this automated grow started. Day 1 - I placed the seeds directly in a fist-sized clump of Coast of Maine Seed Starter soil that was then placed in a 3-gallon pot full of Coast of Maine Stonington Blend. This will ensure the seedling doesn't get exposed to the nutrient-rich soil too soon. I set the light 2 feet above the top of the pots so they have room to grow into the 18" to 12" range. I also set the light strength to 60% during germination. The temperature in the tent remained 75 degrees and humidity was 70%. I also covered the soil over the germinating seeds with mason jars to act as humidity domes. Day 4 - Both pots sprouted this morning. I immediately removed the mason jar humidity domes. I also increased the light to 70% strength and installed the Blumat watering system to help me keep things growing while I'm gone.

๐Ÿ“… D22 - 05/09 ๐Ÿ“œSecond day of rest for Lucy only tha daily water tracking. LST adjusted a little. Added 1 l of water with only pH-. Deactivated inside roots pump โœ๏ธ 0.98 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9,7 L (added 1 L) ๐Ÿ“ 7 cm ๐Ÿ“… D23 - 06/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Lucy waked up a little droopy. I guessed it is due to the deactivation of inside roots pump, so I reactiveted it. EC and pH are both raising and Lucy still drinks good. I will make a correction of EC and pH today. Cutted lower leaves. Late update: I added 1 L of pure water with 0,5 ml of pH- to take under control EC and pH. Anyway she looks better now, maybe the inside pump worked ? We'll see tomorrow. Lights distance is set on 20 cm from now on. โœ๏ธ 0,96 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9,9 L (Added 1 L) ๐Ÿ“ 8 cm ๐Ÿ“… D24 - 07/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Lucy seems ok today, she is drinking and feeding ! Today I adjusted the LST on top branches and I will give some days of rest to lucy in the new configuration. EC and pH are both stable. โœ๏ธ 0,96 EC โ™’ 6,2 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9,1 L ๐Ÿ“ 8 cm ๐Ÿ“… D25 - 08/09 ๐Ÿ“œ All is working good. Lucy is now completely recovered and she's drinking and feeding very good. I stressed up a little the LST for the manifolding. Also I gave her 1,5 liters of water with EC 0,9 and pH 4,8. I think she's almost ready for the new topping of the 2 main branches. I will perform it on Saturday and then change res. โœ๏ธ 0,96 EC --> 0,92 EC โ™’ 6 pH --> 5,7 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 8,4 L --> 9,9 L ๐Ÿ“ 8 cm ๐Ÿ“… D26 - 09/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Finally I decide to take the risk to make the topping today, despite the advices of @GrowCN and @Ukfarmer420 (thank you guys). As they say, she is an autoflower so too many close to the pre-flowering. So I've almost changed my mind, but finally, looking at Lucy, I decided to get all or nothing! So I topped her on the two main branches and I completly changed the res. The new EC is 1,4, very high.. Both the moves were a gamble, but failing is learning, so it's ok for me. Let see the aftermath of this push. โœ๏ธ 1,4 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 8 cm ๐Ÿ“… D27 - 10/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Lucy looks good today. It seems the topping and the res change is going well until now (finger crossed). The pH track was a little strange as the value is over 6,6, I already added 1 ml of pH- in 10 L and I think I would add some more today. I didn't change the values here, 'cause I will put the new values the next week. I'm considering what to do now to make the branches stay down, I'm not sure if I have to use SCROG or other LST. I will look other diaries to find out. Update: I opted for LST. โœ๏ธ 1,4 EC โ™’ 6,4 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9,5 L ๐Ÿ“ 9 cm ๐Ÿ“… D28 - 11/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Last day of third week, and no changes made on Lucy today. EC is still high, but Lucy apparently can manage it. I made some little update on LST. Addded 1 L of water, pH5 and EC 1,39, tryng to lower the pH. โœ๏ธ 1,4 EC โ™’ 5,8 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9,5 L (Added 1 L) ๐Ÿ“ 9 cm

The only plant left was the Jack Herer and it is its last week ๐Ÿ˜Ž I watered it twice with clear water before chopping it down. After the harvest of the two other plants, the humidity in the room dropped signifcantly. If you are interested in more detailed graphs about the plants heights vs weeks, see the harvests. It was a long journey but I really enjoyed it ๐Ÿ˜

March 17 - 24 Growth is still going very well with lots of LST and defoliation. Business as usual with nutrients and the Blumat system seems dialed in a I prepare to leave them unattended for 5 days in April. Near the end of the week I installed a second net.
