Week 2 & 3 Veg Report: Runtz Battle 🌿🔥 Hey, green enthusiasts and fellow growers! 🌱✨ We’re diving into weeks 2 and 3 of our Runtz Battle, and it’s been a thrilling ride! From transplanting to new pots to experimenting with nutrient setups, there’s a lot to cover. Let’s dive into the details and celebrate the progress of our green champions! Week 2 Progress 🌟 In the second week, our Runtz plants showed tremendous growth and resilience. Here’s a snapshot of what’s been happening: • Growth Surge 🚀: • Both Runtz strains exhibited rapid growth with robust stems and lush foliage. Their healthy, vibrant green leaves are a testament to their thriving condition. • Leaf Development 🌿: • New leaves are expanding, and the plants are absorbing nutrients efficiently, laying a solid foundation for future development. Transplant to Final Pots 🌱✨ We’ve made a significant upgrade by transplanting our Runtz plants into their final 15L Autopots. Here’s the scoop on the transplant: • New Home 🌟: • The Runtz plants have been moved to spacious 15L Autopots, providing ample room for their roots to expand. This upgrade ensures they have the space to thrive and reach their full potential. • Soil and Nutrients 💧: • We’re using Pro Mix Mycorrhizae soil, which is rich in beneficial microbes and nutrients. To boost the soil’s fertility, we added 75 grams of Aptus All-in-One pellets, a touch of MycoMix, and a touch of MicroMix. This mix ensures a strong, healthy start with balanced nutrition and enhanced root development. Week 3 Progress 🌿💚 In week 3, the plants have absolutely loved their new environment and are showing remarkable growth: • Transplant Success 🚀: • The Runtz plants have adjusted beautifully to their new pots. They’re thriving, with enhanced growth and vitality, ready to take on the next phase. • Autopots Activation 🌟: • We’re now plugging in the Autopots and letting gravity do its thing. This efficient watering system ensures our plants receive consistent hydration with minimal effort. • Nutrient Strategy 🌿: • With the soil rich in biolife and nutrients, we’ll be focusing on using only Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir from now on. The plan is to test if these organic inputs, combined with the soil’s inherent nutrients, can sustain our plants through their growth cycle. LED Lighting & Climate Control 🌟🌡️ To support our Runtz plants, we’re using top-of-the-line equipment: • Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro 💡: • This powerful LED light provides full-spectrum illumination, ensuring our plants get the optimal light they need for vigorous growth. The compact design and high efficiency make it perfect for our setup, promoting healthy and even canopy development. • TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller 🌡️: • The TrolMaster Hydro-X is our go-to for precise climate control. With its 3-in-1 sensor, it monitors temperature, humidity, and light intensity, allowing us to maintain the perfect growing environment. This advanced controller ensures our plants stay in their ideal conditions, enhancing growth and overall health. The Excitement Ahead 🌱💚 As we move forward, we’re excited to see how our Runtz plants respond to their new environment and nutrient strategy. This experiment with organic soil and minimal added nutrients is sure to provide valuable insights and showcase the resilience and adaptability of our plants. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green adventure! Here’s to a week of growth, discovery, and green magic. 🌟🌿 #RuntzBattle #Week2And3Veg #CannabisCommunity #Autopots #ProMixMycorrhizae #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX #GreenMagic #GrowStrong #StayPositive Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_officiala 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Hey Grow Diaries fam, We’re back with another exciting update on our PCR adventure! We’ve hit Week 11, which means we’re now in Week 7 of flowering, and the transformation continues to amaze us. Overview The PCRs are truly in their prime, with colors intensifying and buds swelling beautifully. This week has been all about fine-tuning their nutrient intake and ensuring they get exactly what they need to finish strong. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, kept spotless to ensure the best possible growing environment. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, continuing to provide the perfect spectrum for our flowering ladies. Watering: TDS at 420, pH 6, and water temperature at 21°C, keeping everything balanced and consistent. Nutrient Regimen We’ve made a critical adjustment to our feeding schedule this week: TopBooster: Phased out as we shift focus. P-Boost: Cut from the mix as we near the final stages of flowering. K-Boost: Increased to provide that crucial potassium boost, ensuring maximum bud density and potency. This tweak in our regimen is aimed at enhancing the final development of our buds, making them as dense and potent as possible. Growth and Development The PCRs continue to fill out the tent, with their buds growing denser and more aromatic by the day. The increased K-Boost has given them that extra push, and the results are clear – we’re seeing some seriously impressive bud formation and trichome development. Reflections This week has been about dialing in the final touches to ensure our PCRs finish strong. The colors are popping, the buds are dense and sticky, and the aromas are out of this world. We’re gearing up for an incredible harvest, and the anticipation is building! A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: Your nutrients are the backbone of this grow, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Art Genetix: For creating such a stellar strain. The PCRs are a joy to grow. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and enthusiasm keep us motivated. Let’s keep pushing forward together! Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep those good vibes flowing, and enjoy every moment of this amazing journey.

Going well. Think I may flip in the next week. Don't want the plants to become too unmanageable for my first crop. Really enjoying the learning process. Thinking a t-break starting soon would make it easier to enjoy the harvest. Looking at getting some bubble hash processing equipment and a rosin press, my prefered consumption method from right at home. At this size what would an experienced grower expect in terms of yield? The strains seem hearty. Thinking- Flip: September 7 Harvest Window: November 2 – November 15 Drying: November 2 – November 16 Cure Starts: November 16 First Smoke: Early December Peak Quality: Late December – January

Preflower! Yesterday i did some lollypopping and final LST on the HerzOG's, i will let them do the stretch now and stop all LST so they can regain some height and strength before flower really sets in. It has been two weeks since i last added BioEnhancer so i added that for todays watering. I water them more or less every three days now with 1.1 - 1.2L pH'd water, i started with 900ml after i transplanted them to their final 11L pots. I'm feeling pretty good about this grow, cant wait for them to grow some fat nugs 😏😁 🙌

Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. 🌸 The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and it’s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. We’ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but we’re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. We’re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. She’s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!

5/7 Week 3! This is our first CBD Crack grown in coco and she is showing wonderful color, form, and size for only 14 days up. Very happy with this so far even if the delay does present some issues. She just so pretty! 5/9 She is just exploding, a full inch of height and girth in one day. No hairs yet, increasing nuets tomorrow 20%. 5/10 Nuets increased Raised her base up to get better light, think she has fully acclimated by now. 5/11 She has grown another node and another inch in one day! The reward for what we did yesterday, she wanted more light and nuets. Will leave things as they are for now. 5/12 Just call her "Inch a Day" a that is her growth rate. Training her today, Pony Tailing LST First hairs visible so folding in a light dose of Bloom 5/13 10 inches wow First cycle of pony tailing was productive though she still tacked on over an inch in 24 hrs. Secondary growth tips grew a lot during the process and expect tonight to be even more productive. Node spacing is about one inch so perfect now

420 Fastbuds Week 3 Cherry Cola Auto This week I decided to do a major defoliation taking off all the bigger fan leafs. This way the lower branches can get a little more light. All in all they seem to be bouncing back OK from it besides being some what droppy but usually after the lights are on for an hour they perk right back up.

Day 56....buds developing nicely....laid off any nutrients for the last week and considering just one more spirulina feeding, then just well-water for the rest of the grow, with no flush....pollution/haze levels high which might effect the plants

Day 78: Was gone a almost week but everything survived. About time for me to harvest the small plant Clara. And the. I will be able to get River away from the light a bit more and do some super cropping. I still have some water in my reservoir but probably won’t change it until it empty. I have not checked PH but I will do that later today. Day 78 Update: I chopped down Clara and hung her in the drying tent. She had some amber trichomes and I really needed the room. Total weight with stems cut as short as I could I got 780g or 27.514 ounces wet. Now if it is true you get a 3rd of the dry weight and I remove 7 ounces from the Total for stems alone. That is still 20/3 = 6.66oz. This is my guesstimate. I will do a harvest week after I cut River down. Day 79: Well a little lonely without Clara but I think River is liking hit just fine. Moved her to the center of the tent and removed the trellis netting. I pushed her stems as far as I could but she still needs some super cropping and tie down to get her a bit further from the light source. Cleaned and refilled the reservoir last night with new Advanced nutrients and it PH’d itself to 6.1. Not sure how long river has but I believe this is at least her 4th if not 5th week flower. Day 80: I have not had to do a lot the last day or so so this is just a general daily update. River is getting way more light to her lower flower sites now and I am hoping they bulk up now. They look pretty scraggly right now but I had the entire plant bunched up to make room before. Reservoir PH’d at 6.23 this morning so I dropped it down to 6 for now and added H2O2. I wish I m we how much longer River had to flower but my guess is 3 weeks minimum. Day 81: nothing new to report today on autopilot until harvest. Day 82: Still not much to report as I am still hands off in the grow tent. I don’t even need to really check my reservoir much other than to see if it is almost empty. 🤷‍♂️🏻🤪 I did however, get to try out Clara for the first time. I clipped a bus from one of the lower branches that felt the driest. It smokes really smoothly even without the cure. Day 83: So fat today I trimmed and started the cure for clara’s flowers today. I am curing in a 1/4lb grove bag. She yielded 92g for a little over 3 ounces. And 1.5 ounces of fluff and sugar leaves. Day 84: Still adding new pistils daily and the lower buds are gaining weight and are about the size of golf balls to popcorn, but they are starting to take off. Main buds are short but very dense to the touch. Filled the reservoir with fresh nutrients last night and we should be in auto pilot for the next week is so. Day 85: Today is the last Day of week 11 and I believe the end of week 4 flower for River? Could be 5 not sure. Still not a lot to report as I am still just letting everything ride on autopilot. I hope it goes better than Tesla’s self driving cars. Finally got a pic of one of Rivers lower buds that are starting to take off. I am thinking if they are still going by the time the tops are done I am going to try a partial harvest. However that means I can’t do a proper flush. What’s more important a proper flush that has a lot of debate around it as to its usefulness or a good yield of properly ripened flower? Day 86: Still on autopilot every is looking Milhouse. Day 87: autopilot just added some H2O2 to the reservoir. Took a lower golf ball size flower to dry and test.

This thing was very easy to grow. Liked low PPMs in flower. Around 600 was plenty for her. Will report taste and effects when curing is complete.

Today marks the beginning of the last week of flowering for my cannabis plant. After months of care and patience, I can finally see the first amber trichomes starting to form. It's a sign that the plant is nearing the perfect time for harvest. The buds are dense and frosty, and the shift in trichome color is telling me that the plant is at its peak potency. In a couple of days, I'll move the plant out of the tent and into complete darkness for 48 hours. This process is supposed to help boost resin production and make the final buds even better. After that, it’ll be time to cut her down. It's exciting to be so close to the end, and I can't wait to see how the final product turns out!🌱🌱

Another round of topping. Tied her all back to spread out for LST. Going to flip to flower next week. Used the Kushman technique and Supercropped all her stems every inch on the way up, without bending. Gives her muscles to flex <3
