They are still not too happy with me... Not liking the nutrient strength I choose again.. So after 24hrs of just ph water and 1/4 strength hydroguard. No change I thought they would appreciate just water and a root stimulate. But no change in root or plant mass. Looking like they are very stunted from nutrient burn.
So moving forward I went with same strength as the 1st feeding that they liked. But I did it in a hurry before work and realized after the fact that I put that same amount I put before but didn't account for lowering the water level to 3.5 gal from 4gal. So end up being slightly stronger then before. I did add 0.5ml of hydroguard to each bucket. Also added 0.5 of bud candy to each bucket. But hoping they work with me fingers crossed.
4/12/2023 5.8/72°F/221(Left rear) 5.8/72°F/227(Middle front) 5.8/72°F/214(right rear)
No sign of transitioning to flower yet.
4/14/23 Colorado Cookies recovered and jumped like a inch looking alot better! Overall Height 3.5"
And I noticed that there was some growth in the root zone. But noticed there is something going on with the upper leafs.
Runtz Seems to be recovering but still a little rough. Overall Height 2" But I did notice the roots mass did not change and they still appear to have the brown tint and seems to have gotten slightly worse toward the bottom of 6"net basket. I believe that's contributing to the slow recovery. Still looking alot better tho.
Banana Purple Punch seems to have bearly changed at all. There's very slight growth in center. No change to root mass at all. Overall Height 1.5"
Found some very helpful information on measuring EC instead of ppm and how to monitor EC and Ph. So will be doing this moving forward. I'm going to redo Banana's bucket to exactly what I gave the 1st time she was happy but this time accounting for the .5 gal change in water level. I'm also looking into if I can use the hydroguard at full strength on nutrient burned autos since its not a nutrient for the plant. But I need to fight the brown roots in runtz tonight. See if I can't get all three happy! And save this grow to a more acceptable outcome.
Stats 4/14/2023 6.25Ph/72°F/222ppm(runtz) 6.33Ph/72°F/218ppm(banana) 6.28Ph/72°F/215ppm Cookies
I added 1ml total hydroguard to all and added .05 total calmag to all and ph to 5.8
4/15 I changed the water on all buckets. raised the water level back to 4 gal on Banana since it has the smallest root mass. And put full strength hydroguard and full strength rapid start in all buckets amd ph to 5.8 and left it for 24 hrs. I made a floral spray of armor si at 0.33ml to full spray bottle. Wet em down good. Twice today.
4/16 I noticed Banana's leaf tips began to droup a little. So lowered water back to 3.5 gal and mixed the nutrients for 3 gal to be safe and leave ppm for cal mag and bud candy without nutrient burn. Added 0.5 cal mag and 0.5 bud candy. I trimmed all the burned leaf tips off, so I can see if and when it burns again. And since it was the best my test has looked yet I took a video and some pictures. But still need to figure out whats going on with Colorado cookies. Has spotty yellowing. Thought maybe light burn. So checked and raised like a inch or so. But there leafs below that are almost fully yellow. Like nutrient deficiency. Trying to read her but not getting it yet. gavw them a spray of armor si.
4/17 ph to 5.8 bucket stats. Sprayed with armor si
6.1/74°F/200ppm/425uscm/0.85EC(Runtz) 6.3/72°F/207ppm/440uscm/0.88EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/210ppm/446uscm/0.89EC(cookies)
Thinking about LST cookies and pull top down. But want to address the yellowing 1st.
4/18 I changed the water in buckets to just water with 50ml hydrogen peroxide 3% to 3.5 gal water and left it for 3 hrs. During this 3 hrs I turned both fans off and made a foliar spray with 0.30 ml gh flora trio and 0.25 cal mag and sprayed them down and turned the light off for 3 hrs.
So after the 3 hrs peroxide treatment. I changed water out with fresh water and did my nutrient differently.
I got the EC of my tap water whixh was between 0.19 and 0.23 between the buckets. Then I added cal mag to 0.5EC
And added nutrients base and additions to a EC of 1.0. Then I added 4ml hydroguard to 3.5gal. And ph to 5.8

Week 9 - Day 63 - 26/11/19
Im so grateful to be a part of this community and to be at this milestone so to speak :) had an amazing time growing this plant, thanks to everyone who had a look or contributed to my diary!
Harvest was fun but that little 16cm tall plant stunk my whole house out of cheese when i started trimming her :)
Added a few photos and videos of the harvesting, i got a little ball of hash off the scissors which i smoked in a bong and it was nice! very hashy!
its taken about 2 hours to finish trimming but ive stored all the trim in the freezer along with the dwarf trim from my last diary :) im making cannabutter and edibles this week. really excited for that.
So i hung my drying rack outside the tent beside the passive intake. temps are between 20-22c in the room so it should dry fine and im hoping the passive intake will drag the smell in and keep it sort of fresh in the room :)
This diary has got me excited for my Quick One plant as its much taller and has colas like arms :D.
Il update in 3-7 days when buds are dried and then il be updating a lot throughout curing :)
Day 65 - 28/11/19
Still drying these buds :) they look much smaller now, i smoked a small bud and although its much drier than harvest its still spongy/sticky and stretchy when breaking apart so 2-3 more days drying i think.
Smell is wonderful especially if you get it on your hands, its like tropical fruit cheese and the effects of thc are not as pronounced with this strain but i felt very relaxed, no muscle pain etc and no paranoia or anxiety. i havent had a clear relaxed headspace before bed in a very long time. Any 1:1 THC/CBD is a must grow, give it a try if you havent already, i couldnt have picked a better starter medical plant as i love a good old cheese strain :)
And i made some cannabutter out of the 59g of sugar leaves i got from this diary and my first diary. il have to upload a few pictures of the process later and let you all know if the cannabutter worked in my brownies :)
Day 66 - 29/11/19
Started curing and added a photo to show :) buds were at 59-60% when left in the jar alone for a few hours so i threw in my boveda 58% pack and started burping 5-6 times per day :) i could have cured for a week before adding the boveda pack but i had barely any bud in the huge jar so i thought it would be wise to add the boveda to prevent mold and to keep it curing perfectly!
Day 67 - 30/11/19
Posted a picture of a handful of buds :) i smoked a few in a bong and had a joint and it left me nice and medicated! no anxiety no paranoia nicely locked to the couch and sleepy. perfect nightime smoke as it wont trip you out or mess with your head, just a nice happy little mellow buzz!
Flavour hasnt really came through yet, not sure what to expect as im a newbie but its slightly like cheese/flowery/herbs.
Curing is definitely helping every day! the smell is getting better, buds are getting really smooth and they look amazing also! really excited for the next few weeks curing :)
Final Update - Day 69 - 02/12/19
Finally here at the end of this diary and i have to say i loved growing this plant. it was a dark green colour throughout growing and took whatever i threw at it.
Buds are nice and dry and curing well. i saved the best buds until last and added a couple of photos of them and a video also! they are covered in trichomes and feel great.
Not much of a smell from the buds and it tastes like a sweet floral cheese mixture.
Im pretty couchlocked from a bong of this strain so im gonna end this diary here and go relax but many thanks for following along folks and take a look at my other diaries if you get a chance :)
Peace!

***English version***
Welcome to Week 4 of Flowering! 🥦🥦🥦🥦
Hey everyone! The fourth week of flowering has begun, and it looks like the stretch phase already wrapped up last week.
There hasn’t been much vertical growth—Runtz A now stands at 48 cm, while Runtz B has reached 59 cm.
Today, I didn’t do a full defoliation but simply removed a few larger, obstructive fan leaves.
The buds are visibly increasing in size, and Runtz B is leading the way with impressive speed. She seems to be about three days ahead in development compared to Runtz A.
One of this week’s highlights is the incredibly intense aroma filling the entire tent.
The sweet notes remind me of a mix of ripe tropical fruits and berries—absolutely irresistible!
Although the two plants have some visual differences, I’m now convinced they share the same phenotype.
Everything is going according to plan, and I’m excited to see how the buds continue to develop in the coming weeks.
Until the next update—happy growing! 🌱
***Deutsche Version***
Willkommen zur vierten Woche der Blüte🥦🥦🥦🥦
Hallo zusammen! Die vierte Blütewoche hat begonnen, und es scheint, als wäre der Stretch bereits letzte Woche abgeschlossen gewesen.
Viel Höhenwachstum gab es jedenfalls nicht mehr: Runtz A misst nun 48 cm und Runtz B 59 cm.
Heute habe ich keine vollständige Entlaubung durchgeführt, sondern lediglich einige größere, störende Blätter entfernt.
Die Buds nehmen nun sichtbar an Größe zu, und besonders Runtz B legt ein beeindruckendes Tempo vor. Sie scheint in ihrer Entwicklung etwa drei Tage weiter zu sein als Runtz A.
Ein weiteres Highlight dieser Woche ist der unglaublich intensive Duft, der das gesamte Zelt erfüllt.
Die süßlichen Noten erinnern an eine Mischung aus reifem tropischen Obst und Beeren, einfach unwiderstehlich!
Obwohl sich beide Pflanzen äußerlich unterscheiden, bin ich mittlerweile überzeugt, dass sie denselben Phänotyp besitzen.
Alles in allem läuft alles nach Plan, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich die Blüten in den kommenden Wochen weiterentwickeln.
Bis zum nächsten Update – happy growing! 🌱

Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

Hola 🐴
These girls has came to the end of journey. Branchy was still drinking water more than others. Could take 1 week more but decided to slaughter whole family at once. 80 days in 1liter pots and 106g total wet from 4 beautiful girls. 10 started this experiment. All sprouted but only 4 made it to the end. No difference between plant (doesn't have blue tap at video) that had extra myco.
New experiment is running but more of that next week. sprouted blue streaks f3 3/6.
Thanks for everyone who has been with us in this journey. Experiment's continue.
With Test Hopes 🍀

They are 45 and 50 cm
Both of them look pretty, each one is different from the other but they are beautiful 😍
Taller still being fat, her leaves are turning darker and i like it.
The smaller have more branches, so i think in the end they both will yield about the same, or maybe smaller yields more. Let's see.
Both plants don't look like other diaries i've been following 😯
They have a strong fruity sweet smell, But not as strong as PE.
Watered yesterday with nutrients, i'm not sure if keep feeding them or not. I guess if i give them one more week (maybe cut them on feb 11) their colas may gain some weight, specially lower buds.
Added a video of each plant, i hope you enjoy 😺

Flowering day 49
since time change
to 12 / 12 h
Hey guys :-)
All ladies look very healthy and delicious :-)
We're slowly getting closer to the end.
Watering was done twice this week, each time with 1.2 l (sewing materials see table above)
At the next watering there is a very light rinse with Clean Fruits so that the last nutrients can be slowly used up.
The trichomes are now checked every day.
I'm looking for my microscope with an app so I can take pictures of it 👍.
I wish you a lot of fun with the update and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻

Ok just finnished a blunt of this a out an hour ago, and I do not smoke blunts lol
But it seems only right too do a real smoked reveiw ,
So the fbt7 has been dry now for about 2 weeks and in a jar and today was the day too take the first bud too try so I rolled a fat one " fat one in photos lol ,
So for me the flavour just isn't there yet and am hoping that will come after a cure ,
So I smoked this all too my self and qiukly ,
Within a few minutes I went white as a ghost as was twitching the the corner hehehe,
This is very strong bud and I would go as far as saying it's probably the strongest bud I've had in years ,
I am what I would describe as a joker smoker , as I turn my bud into oils and do not smoke it ,
But any serious cannabis smoker will absolutely love this strain ,
Well done fast buds and thank you :)

Week 6 went well. The buds are putting out a second wave of pistils and are starting to fatten up. Jilly is starting to smell more and put out more trichs on sugar leaves. She smells very sweet and fruity so far.

COntinued to apply small amounts of pressure with LST but aside from that, letting her do her thing.
Had to leave her for a few days and she got dehydrated, after a feed she perked up again but she's now started sucking all the nutes out of her lower growth. She has a lot so I'm hoping it doesn't affect the harvest. Would have preferred this to begin with my flush.

Overall I'm extremely impressed with this strain. Terpene profile definitely leans traditional GG#4. Extremely pungent and lingering aroma. I personally wouldn't consume this if I had any plans for the day. Definitely helps with my sleep issues. The bud to leaf ratio was above average and fairly easy to trim. The bud themselves are extremely resinous and dense. So if you've followed this grow you'll know I made to change back to organic growing and made a light change mid grow. I'm glad I went back to organics because it's always been the favorable growing style of mine. I switched to a light bar style LED from Kind LED lights and noticed a big difference over the Spider Farmer. Now let me state that the Kind pulls more watts and should technically on paper out perform the smaller SF2000 from Spider Farmer. This is not at all a slam against Spider Farmer because I love my Spider lights. I really didn't do anything special this grow other than my normal routine. I topped multiple times and the rest was a mixture of LST and HST techniques. I finished in a 10 Gallon pot to try and fill my canopy to provided grow area. The organics I pretty much kept as simple as possible. Amended soil before transplant and topdressed every 4 weeks. What I would consider the most important aspect of organic growing is to not let the soil dry out and keep the microbial life in your soil prosperous and happy. Well im not very good at this at all but I do hope everyone enjoyed this grow and appreciate all the support and comments ❤️. Thank you. Oh I pulled 12.47 ounces off of this plant dried 😁

Missed a few weeks due to laziness.
Been quiet a bit of slow growth, and yet to see any colour in the the leafs yet. But still plodding along.
Anyone grew this strain before??
