Plant is doing fine, just a few issues with pests so I had to remove infected leafs but no big deal. Plant is 90 cm high and stopped growing, I think anonther 2 or 3 weeks to harvest. Had to support is with a bamboo stick because the top is getting heavy and its quite windy at night on my balcony. I posted some random pictures and videos from the last few weeks, hope you like them.

Day 107 (f45) update: Runtz is doing amazing!!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Her buds are thickening up, even the mid section buds are coming along nicely! ๐Ÿ˜› She smells very lovely, gaining complexity in smell with some 'deeper' background smells most likely coming from the gelato parent! Brought down the nutrient dosage from 1.6-1.8 EC to 1-1.2 EC and she is handling it very well. Still at least 2 weeks left, probably 3 weeks till harvest!!! Can't wait!!! ๐Ÿ˜ >>>> Using Botanicare TEA and SWEET RAW (carbohydrates for hydro) to hopefully gain a more complex flavor profile ๐Ÿ˜œ as the plants of the last run were lacking in terpenes ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

-5/28/23 Start of Week --Week 10/Flower 4 -5/31/23 (Day 74/flower 25) --Observations: temperature is rising during the day and the night isn't dropping as low as I would like. Already starting to get clustered again. --Comments: seems to be okay with the increasing heat, don't see any problems yet and hopefully wont. shade leaves are starting to push their way into the middle area again, will try not to remove unless the become a problem. -6/3/23 (Day 77/Flower 28) --Observations: shade leaves still pushing their way into center, buds still growing and starting to form calxes. --Changes: will no longer be spraying after today, will also start giving more water --Comments: today is the last day for spraying this plant, watering will be increased to compensate. may have to remove some of the shade leaves pushing into the center area next week, will be extremely selective if I have to remove anything from this point on. lemon basil is starting to tower over the cannabis, will be removing some to give space between them. -6/3/23 End of Week

2025-07-27 i started tis grow longer ago as you may see in other diaries, from the same period these ladies are mindblowing and deserve a Diary LEGEND The root idea for the strain name was the โ€‹Fatherโ€™s Choice to show respect to his father when he was testing his strain on his fatherโ€™s farm. Finally, the strain got the name Chronic Ryder - the autoflowering version of the famous Chronic by Serious Seeds. Crossing with the Lowryder gave us the opportunity to get a stable and fast flowering hybrid. GROWING The compact and fast flowering variety grows well indoors and outdoors. A small height of 60 cm max allows for growing nice and fragrant bushes for 65 days from germination. Despite its compact size, the plants develop lots of sticky and big buds with a pretty apricot smell. The aroma is hardly noticed at first but it becomes stronger as the harvest approaches. The short growing period is another strong point of the strain. That's why this is a good choice for countries with short summers - despite the bad weather youโ€™ll get your guaranteed yield. TASTE and EFFECT Chronic Ryder is all about the taste - fruity and citrus tones complement one another, giving an unforgettable aftertaste. The effect is mild and doesnโ€™t hit you like a hammer - the perfect choice for novice smokers. Thanks to balanced high and stone effects Chronic Ryder is a good daytime smoke that stimulates you for a long time. CHARACTERISTICS Autoflowering: Yes Type: Feminized | Autoflowering Room: Indoor | Outdoor | Greenhouse Genotype: Hybrid Genetics: Chronic x Lowryder Finish time: 65-70 days from seed Indoor: Productivity: 400 g/m2 Height: 30 - 60 cm Outdoor: Productivity: 30-85 g/plant Height: 60 - 100 cm THC: High Flavour: Citrus | fruity | apricot Effect: Balanced high and stone | daytime | giggly

๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š The grow was a pleasure, the smell of the buds is mouthwatering!! ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ‘Š In the middle of the grow perhaps the soil got a bit salty.. the Punch still grew well without getting flushed. She showed signs of calcium deficiency on the leaves which are most addressed by the LED. She recovered easily and delivered delicious flowers. ๐Ÿ™ The smell during the grow was so good, I couldn't wait for her to finish! ๐Ÿ˜ Surely going to grow that one again!! ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ˜‹ I also love sleeping! Effects are very relaxed. Just sloth. Muscle release, mindfuck release, all included! ๐Ÿ˜‡ Thanks everybody for visiting!! ๐Ÿ˜˜ Grower love!!! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š Thanks @Fast_Buds for the great genetics!! โค๏ธ _________________________________________________________________________________ Strain Description: This is a giant autoflower that reaches 150cm and produces massive yields of up to 600gr/m2, a modern Cali strain that offers what a top-quality Indica-dominant hybrid should; nugs capped in resin with the density you would expect from Indica-dominant strains and that bag appeal that will surprise even the most experienced growers. Expect beautiful purple and magenta hues that come along with a sweet almost pastry-like taste and, thanks to the 24% THC, a very pleasant and potent effect that surprisingly starts as a motivating high and in no time relaxes you completely, taking a bit of the energetic edge off. Bud description Purple Punch Auto develops rounded compact buds with fat calyxes and bright orange or sometimes bright yellow hairs, with copious amounts of trichomes that give the buds that beautiful frosty look that all growers seek for. The light-green buds can exhibit subtle purple or lime-green tones that give them a charming and attractive look and complement them magnificently, while the mouth-watering mix of earthy cherries and blueberry muffins with a spicy touch will win you over even before you can see the buds. Smoke report Due to the high THC levels, youโ€™ll experience a powerful effect that will completely relax your whole body and gradually start feeling like all your muscles are melting before you can count to three. Despite the strong Indica effect, you wonโ€™t be couch-locked thanks to the slight Sativa genes that incorporate a pleasant creative head-buzz and leaves you mellow and clear-headed in a peaceful state of mind. The perfect effect to go through a busy day stress-free, alleviating sore muscles after a long workout routine or just chill and have fun on a night out with friends. Plant appearance Due to the Indica dominancy, this strain remains relatively compact despite its height and grows wide and thick fan leaves typical of Indica-dominant varieties. You can expect a thick tall main cola and a few shorter side branches with spaced-out internodes where the incredibly frostbitten flowers develop and end up looking like buds on steroids by the end of the flowering stage. Grow tips This strain offers unique flavors and charming colors so we recommend flushing thoroughly to allow it to show its full potential and end up with the beautiful reddish-purple and/or lime-green hues on the buds and surrounding foliage. Due to the Indica genes, the buds grow denser than usual so itโ€™s essential you tie the branches slightly so there is enough airflow in between the buds to prevent mold and bugs. This variety doesnโ€™t require a lot of maintenance or anything extra but remember to feed her properly and with good-quality nutrients, this way you guarantee the buds fatten up properly and that your plant doesnโ€™t suffer any kind of nutrient deficiencies. Flavor Thanks to the high-quality genetics, this strain offers a distinguishable taste of fresh blueberries and earthy cherries with spicy undertones and a pinch of sugary tart. The sweet smoke overpowers your throat with a sweet blueberry muffin-like taste as you inhale and, as you exhale, leaves a delicious coat of sweetness in your mouth that leaves you feeling like youโ€™ve just eaten a dessert. ______________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm ยฐ 2x 5W Fans ยฐ custom 320/270 cmยณ/h exhaust fan & Carbon Active Granulate 240cmยณ/h ยฐ Mills Nutrients, Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! โค๏ธ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75โ‚ฌ) โœจ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ ยฐ tap water EC 0,26uS upgraded to EC 0,5 with PlantMagic MagneCal - pH 8, nutrient solution downgraded to pH 6,5 with Advanced Hydroponics Minus Bloom ยฐ from week 4 in the same container Aptus Enzym+ once a week ยฐ Biobizz Lightmix ๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Week 4 Day 2 - Moved into hydroponic system from Soil compound, where they will remain. Looking healthy and strong thus far. Week 4 Day 3 - keeping an eye on stats and root growth. I've increased the pH level to 6.5 now and added in luqid silicon. Week 4 Day 4 - Roots starting to hit the water, plants looking healthy and strong still.

Place these seeds in the paper towel literally 24hrs later the tap roots were nice and long. I then placed them in jiffy pods and within 24 hours this is how they looked. So far amazing from what I see. Shout out to fast buds!!! This will be ram in the growace Aircube system.

Combined the very last week and harvest into one entry. Plants did ok other then the yellow plant or plant #3 gong hemi and pollinating the tent. I would try out their genetics again as they look descent, if I hit another hemri though I think that would be it for them. I reach out to them and asked if this was normal and got no reply. I will check the tent once its clean and free of stuff for light leaks aorund where plant #3 was to confirm it was not my environment. Plant #1 Red took it the worst. it had issues from mid flower but did not finish strong and was hurting a bit. Nice smell over all. Will be transforming all this into bubble hash with a machine I got and some bubble bags. Don't know when I'll do this but that's the plan. God about 10oz of buds 293.5g/10.48oz It was not 100% dry yet but popped it into the freezer to keep it fresh. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.
