Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

Iniciamos la semana alegremente, con buena temperatura y poca humedad relativa. Las plantas muestran buen aspecto Comentaros una curiosidad. la nº3 creció como diploide y después de cortar el apical y bifurcase en dos una de las ramas tendió a Triploide, tan solo una de las ramas, la otra rama es bien diferente, ni tan solo salen dos ramas por nudo, ni tan solo seria una diploide convencional. A finales de semana volvieron a bajar las temperaturas en el exterior y se hizo algo mas complicado mantener un buen ambiente. We started the week happily, with good temperatures and low humidity. The plants are looking good. Here's an interesting tidbit: plant #3 grew as a diploid, and after I cut the apical bud and it split in two, one of the branches tended towards triploid. Only one of the branches, though; the other branch is quite different. It doesn't even produce two branches per node, nor would it even be a conventional diploid. At the end of the week, the temperatures outside dropped again, making it a bit more difficult to maintain a good growing environment.

This plant has recovered 80% of the mistakes I made during its process, but I have also learned a lot and I believe that growing has become a new hobby for me.

📋Comment I do like this strain, I wouldn't have joined this competition if I didn't like it. 📋 Data Seed to havest=105 days. Veg time=28 days. Flower time=77 days. Wet weight=609g Dry weight=50g 📋 Smoke report I started trimming after she had been hanging for 14 days. Had time to trim 30g and did the remainder the night after. The buds went into groove bags on 6/5/25. The trim is frosty so I'll do a hash run, there was only 4g of larfy buds which will go into my hash run. 25/6/25 Had a sample, by far the strongest runtz i have grown. Highly impressed, 📋Grow stats for GDG 23 #1 Runtz=50g #2 Fat Bastard=86g Total=136g Lights on. 20hrs×7days=140hrs 18hrs×21days=378hrs 12hrs×77days=924hrs Total hours=1442hrs Light power=147.73Kw Rad power=105.69Kw Extractor=34.12Kw 4 gang=47.02Kw Top fan=17.72Kw Total electricity=352.28KW Electricity cost @£0.25/Kw=£88.07 Average light power a day=1.4Kw Average watt per hour=102w g/watt=(136÷102)=1.33g/w £/g=£0.64/g 📋Final word. I should have been more proactive then reactive with this plant, if I had raised her a lot sooner she would have produced a bit more and fought for more space. I'm happy with with my results from the grow. Runtz is always a good strain to have. I'm also loving the green sensation, and the Plagon tera nutes, last 2 grows have had lots of frost since switching to them. Unfortunately I didn't win the Eternity Cup or place in the top 10. I have looked through loads of the diaries that entered and damn there was some 🔥 diaries, what a great competition to have been apart off. Congratulations to @Cauli, @naujas, @DogDoctorOfficial, for placing in the top 3 of the Eternity cup, excellent diaries, and congratulations to the remaining winners. 👏👏 to those that haven't kicked off about not winning. It's best to be a loser then a sore loser. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************

Hello Diary, Purple Lemonade has reached the end of the fourth week of flowering, 7 weeks since the beginning of the vegetation. I can already tell that we are slowly approaching the end, from next week I will be painting it on a black background. Purple Lemonade looks beautiful. It has large flowers that have covered the branches that are now slightly bent due to the weight of the flowers. The flowers are very hard and sticky to the touch. The main cola is completely covered in flowers and trichomes, it brings a smile to my face. The smell is now very intense, when I open the grow box, the smell takes over the whole room. The leaves are still a healthy green color, it is obvious that the new nutrients Bio Grow and Bio Bloom Fertilizer are doing their job. The conditions on the Farm are good, the temperature is around 28 degrees while the humidity is below 50%. Watering is still almost every other day, they still need a lot of water. I continued to add CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer with each watering. I'm super happy to see how Purple lemonade looks, she really responded to my efforts to give her the best conditions I can. Here's a quick overview of the past week. 06/09/2024 - Day 44. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, added CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer and lowered the p.H. to 6.0. With that amount of water I watered all three plants on the "Farm". 08/09/2024 - Day 46. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. 10/09/2024 - Day 48. Watering. Same procedure. 11/09/2024 - Day 49. End of the 7th week from the beginning of the vegetation, or the fourth week of flowering. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Purple Lemonade - Day 49. - 63 cm. That's all from me for this week, see you soon and thank you all for the comments and compliments.

Hey fellow growers another week in the books! Not a lot going on this week except some leaf plucking! Total plant life is 77 days old( 10 days over Northern lights supposed to be harvest time). I'm in my harvest window now for pineapple auto. Neither plant is close to ready! Both could prob use another 2-3 weeks! I will start my 2 week flush today on these ladies. As I need this tent for drying. I would try to stretch these ladies a little longer but as fast as they are yellowing I'm not sure if I can even make it through the two week flush! These girls have started defoliating themselves and I'm running out of fan leaves. Thanks to my rookie mistake of defoliating all my fan leaves off both plants some weeks back! All the issues these plants have are my mistakes. Like I just found out that changing from blurple lights to white lights in flower could have stressed these ladies🤯💩🤬! Now that I think back and look back my girls were doing well up till light change! Live and learn is what this has become for me. Not a pro and prob won't ever be until I can figure out this nutrient feeding. I can look on all these different sites and everyone will tell you a different amount to feed and still have yet to find one single feeding suggestion chart for an auto flower using my nutrients. Well as u know from last week I did a 10 gal flush to correct dry pockets in my soil. It helped! Both plants will now hold a gal of Solution instead of a 1/4-1/2 gal. It didn't improve the yellowing of either plant. I was told to stop giving nitrogen as the plants themselves are passing maturity and are nearing the end of their lifespan. I thought when u stressed an autoflower it just set u back a week so u had to grow a week longer. What I was told is an autoflower is genetically designed to go a certain length of time and once it passes that time that's it! So losing a week to stress is a week lost of 🌸. Can anyone reassure me that this is the case because it is important to me to know that I'm putting out accurate info to others. So enough rambling... 10/27/21 3ml calmag 2ml micro 4ml bloom 1/2ml ph down Ph 6.38 631ppm Solution temp 70.4°F 10/31/21 Will begin flushing today! So while the site was down for 2 almost 3 days🤬 I got bored and started an Instagram page for my grows! Now keep in mind I'm no instagrammer! I mainly did it so when I need to show someone pics of my plants it's faster on there than here! I also became an affiliate for Viparspectra!! So excited to be a member of their team as I love my Viparspectra vs1000 lights! But if your in the market for grow items check them out for your grow needs! Here you can use these to help save u 💰! Who doesn't like to save💰?! 🤑 https://partners.viparspectra.com/?ref=Wackytabacky420 🤑 Or coupon code: Wackytabacky420 Well guys I'm ready to start flushing these ladies! Always work to be done in the garden of Wackytabacky420! I would like to give a shout out this week to 🌟legendaryseedthumb🌟 for helping and answering some of my questions while site was down this week. Thanks growers and viewer's for stopping by! Till next week Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪 Don't forget to smash that 👎button!

Day 49: Today i transplanted the four ladies into 26.6 liter fabric pot's (PurePot's) using following soil mixture; 75l All Mix 15l Coco Mix 22,5l Vermiculite I took off a few fanleaves and tried to bend down all the branches, on Plants #1 and #4 i had to do some supercropping to achieve that goal. Afterwards i watered every plant with 5 liters of following mixture; 20l of water 80ml of Root Juice 40ml of Bio Heaven 40ml of Acti-Vera Day 54: Today i took off a few fanleaves and tied down all the branches (8 on each plant) plant #1 suffered a little damage in form of a broken branch that i tied back together, it's snaped half way but since it didn't die off until now i guess it will get stronger.. No watering today as the pot's still feel pretty heavy. That's about it for today.. Stay tuned for more updates ✌️

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de esta Amaretto Tarmac de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y tienen un color rosado púrpura brutal. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, no es complicada de cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia las flores serán increíbles. Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Broke one of the original 8 growth tips early on, but she's grown nicely into her heptagon shape. Living soil still seems to have too much nitrogen for her, hopefully vegging her a few more weeks before flipping will burn through some of it. I've had to "mow the lawn" of clover a couple times now just to keep good airflow, and that fallen cover crop is starting to make a nice mulch...which in turn makes watering in coco a little less stressful. We're in late veg now, so tent is holding steady at: - PPFD = 600 - VPD = 1.0 - Temp = 82 F (28 C)

5/4: She stretched a few inches. I'll tie down her tallest branches in the next couple of days and when they get to the third node, I'll top her again. I gave her a little water with myco, kelp, molasses, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. 5/6: I did a little LST on her today and fed her about a gallon of water with boomerang, grow big, big bloom, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. This was the last time I'll give her any grow big or boomerang...there's plenty of good stuff to support good growth for at least a month in the Happy Frog dry fertilizer I'm using. 5/7: I foliar fed with big bloom, grow big, silica, fulvic acid, and molasses. 5/8: I did a foliar application of Axiom harpin proteins. 5/9: I did a foliar application of boom boom spray. 5/10: She's growing very well now, so I topped all her main shoots and tied them them down to encourage the lower branches to compete for apical dominance. I'll water her tomorrow if it doesn't rain. That's it for week 5
