Spread her out! Time for the show.
Welcome to my "Barrel Of Laughs" look what shes grown in lol
25/01/2024
Lights on and moved the pot to the left side of the tent, then sorted out the canopy with the scrog! Fed her with extra seaweed to the mix. Unfortunately, she got burnt. I made the mistake of moving the light too close, overfeeding, and overusing 12% food-grade hydrogen peroxide.
Conclusion: Well, onwards and upwards! I need to sort this out. Since I used hydrogen peroxide, flushing is a bad idea. I don't want to reactivate what's settled in the leaves and soil until it's no longer active. I removed all the badly damaged leaves, likening it to a necessary amputation, but luckily I'm at the early stages of flower. I'll keep a close eye on her.
25/01/2024 Mid-day
Not looking good; the new growth is the same after the flush.
25/01/2024
Lights out! Can't believe I spoiled the grow, but she'll hopefully recover. The lights, particularly the sk600 and Cropmaster, are too intense and powerful. I'm wiring up a dimmer switch to reduce it to 420 watts. The Cropmaster will be removed until maturity as having over 1000 watts of LED in a small tent is too much.
26/01/2024
Mid-day Check Time! She's looking a lot better. Taking photos is a good calf workout and lower back exercise when shooting at 0.6x at 12m. There are positives to all the negative occurrences during the growing, raising, and breeding of these plants. Weed can inspire creativity, debate, contemplation, and intelligence. It's important to focus on the positive aspects these plants can bring.
26/01/2024
Temps are more normal now since removing the Cropmaster, which was very powerful.
Sleepy time: 24-25°C; Daytime: 27-28°C.
27/01/2024
In recovery and doing well. Bright moon tonight.
Mid-Day: She's now ready for the full tilt. I've slowly guided the colas out and all the branches looked similar in size, which is why she's ready to grow straight up. There will be a beautiful green screen underneath! I'll coin this technique 'The SpaceProvider' as it maximizes the canopy and undergrowth space. It took me two hours to sort this tonight, and she will straighten up properly in three days.
The dimmer didn't work due to incorrect volts, but I managed to reduce the light to 10% today by tapping its relay wires.
Mid-day: Looking a bit better. I sorted a few branches out to rearrange and ensure they will grow straight. There are definitely no free radicals left in this plant, and the fresh new growth is a positive sign.
24/01/2024
Preparing for upcoming growth spurt during flowering phase.
25/01/2024
Adjusted the scrog to accommodate the impending growth spurt. Allowing the plant to stretch freely. Will need to reposition a few colas as needed but expecting smooth sailing from here onward.
Late-day temperature check: 27-28°C.
26/01/2024
Daytime temperature inside the tent remains in the 27-28°C range, similar to pre-Cropmaster lighting. Planning to implement the Cropmaster light closer to the bloom phase as we have a way to go. Committed to only guiding the upward growth and not interfering with the flowers. Each bud requires a leaf for optimal growth. Embracing a playful wordplay: "I will need to leave the flowers alone, just a little friendly play of words."
I'm looking through the window, the window to your heart!

That was a lot of supercropping today, my goodness! Even my thumb and index fingers are aching now, but hey, thumbs up for a job well done; I'll store that in my mental index book to reminisce about later when it's all over to click through! Peaceful mind 🧠, at least the canopy will be flat, unlike my occasionally bouncy head - Slowly walks quietly away to Mediate.
It looks like it'll add an extra week to the harvest date. Instead of the 8th of February, we're looking at the 15th to 17th of February for when she'll be ready, but you just can't predict with Hazes; they seem to need like 13 weeks at times. I mean, March for harvest 😆. I'm no comedian, but everyone seems to be laughing at me now. Sometimes, we have to poke fun at ourselves; it's good for the spirit 👏 🙌 ✨"
"I've got two extractor fans set up, one bringing in clean air and the other pushing it out. Yesterday I noticed that the extractor out fan was off before bed, due to the weight of the cables pulling it loose. The kettle lead must have come loose, but it's all sorted now."
"I know what you might be thinking; he's going to get popcorn nugs by fussing and stressing the plant in the early stages of flowering. I did mention in the article that there might be a little risk, with a pun about nuggets. Honestly, I believe I'll still yield 1lb just because of the light and growing technique used, and the extended time in long veg."
I accomplished what i stated using this DIY Budmaster GoD 9 250w for the vegetative stage and 450w for flowering, drawing only 320w wall power, achieving a yield of 11 ounces. Conversely, the SK600 draws 610 watts from the wall. If I can avoid further mistakes and ensure proper feeding during maturity, I anticipate a minimum of 18 ounces. With over 80 colas, the close proximity to the light, and abundant breathing space, I've developed a unique growing technique which I've dubbed "The Space Provider," due to its ability to ensure every corner of the tent is utilized for cola growth. As a shorter version, I've considered naming it "SpaceyPro." 🤔
Bring in the reflective mylar mat for under her!

#A Brief Article Summary of This Week's Discussions & Disasters!
______________________________________________
Title: From Defoliation Disaster to Cannabis Cultivation Wisdom: A Cannabis Grower's Saga
So, there I was, thinking of performing a routine defoliation on my prized Forgotten Haze Cakes, a 100% sativa strain with a long flowering period from Terpzy Mutant genetics and feminized seeds. Little did I know that this seemingly simple task would unleash a comedy of errors, leading me to discover the vital importance of precision in organic cannabis cultivation.
As I lovingly tended to my plants, I reached for some hydrogen peroxide - 12% food-grade, of course - to keep everything clean and healthy. After all, research has taught me that using hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial in preventing root diseases and promoting healthy root growth. However, in a classic case of good intentions gone haywire, my well-meaning application ended up in a rather unexpected chemical reaction. Who knew that bacteria from my hands and a bit too much light would turn my peaceful grow operation into a psychedelic mishap?
As I gazed in bewilderment at the unexpected brown shading on the leaves, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. It was as if my plants had suddenly developed a rebellious streak and decided to rebel against my well-intentioned care. I mean, really, who needs a science experiment when you have cannabis plants with their own flair for drama?
Unraveling the aftermath of this defoliation debacle, I realized that beneath the chaos lay a valuable lesson in the art of cannabis cultivation. Precision, my friends, is the secret ingredient. It's all about applying the proper measurements and foreseeing the potential consequences before diving headfirst into the world of organic plant growing.
Now, about using hydrogen peroxide on cannabis plants, it's crucial to dilute it properly. A popular recommendation is to prepare a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with water in a 1:5 ratio for watering your plants. This provides the benefits of oxygenation at the root zone without harming the plants. Timing is also essential; it's typically recommended to administer the hydrogen peroxide solution during the watering schedule, ensuring that the roots receive adequate oxygenation for healthy growth.
Following this incident, I delved deeper into my research, seeking advice from seasoned growers and multiple reputable sources. The experience instilled in me the importance of thorough investigation and informed decision-making when it comes to plant care. I learned that even the most well-intentioned actions can have surprising outcomes, but with extensive research and knowledge, one can minimize the chances of such mishaps.
To complement the hydrogen peroxide, I also learned the benefits of diatomaceous earth, natural and effective pest control and soil amendment. After researching extensively, I discovered that applying a thin layer of diatomaceous earth to the soil surface helps deter pests like aphids, mites, and other unwanted visitors while promoting healthy root development. To apply diatomaceous earth, lightly dust it around the base of the plants and on the soil surface, taking care to avoid excessive buildup.
As I embraced the twists and turns of this growing process, I couldn't help but ponder the amusing parallels between cannabis cultivation and life itself. We all aim and miss at times, but it's all part of the growth process - mind the pun. Just as in cultivating cannabis, it's essential to adapt, learn from our experiences, and continually strive for improvement.
In the midst of all the chaos, amidst the pre-flowering stage of my beloved Forgotten Haze Cakes, I found myself inadvertently learning the intricate needs of my plants. And what a wild journey it has been! I can't help but see the humor in it all. After all, every mishap has its own little nugget of wisdom, right?
Now, armed with this newfound insight, I plan to pass on this treasure trove of knowledge to fellow growers and those venturing into the enchanting world of cannabis cultivation. Precision, chemical reaction unpredictability, and the foresight to foresee potential consequences - these are the valuable gems I've gathered from this unpredictable turn of events.
So, to all the aspiring cannabis cultivators out there, remember - every mishap holds a lesson. Embrace the unexpected, learn from your plants, and be ready for a surprise twist in your grow. Who knows, it might just turn your next gaffe into a hilarious story to share with your fellow cannabis enthusiasts!
In the end, what started as a defoliation disaster has blossomed into a valuable experience, reminding me that even in the wildest of mishaps, there's a silver lining or, should I say, a luscious green lining?
In the aftermath of the hydrogen peroxide mishap, a deeper understanding of the science behind its effects on the plants unfolded. Hydrogen peroxide, often used as a root boost and cleaner during or after feeds, should be approached cautiously in organic cultivation. When used inappropriately, it can have unintended and adverse effects on the delicate ecosystem of the cannabis garden.
The chemical composition of hydrogen peroxide causes it to act as an oxidizer, releasing oxygen upon degradation. This reaction can be beneficial in certain contexts, such as in soil aeriation, but if incorrectly applied, it can result in detrimental outcomes. During the mishap, the hydrogen peroxide inadvertently reacted with micro metals in the diatomaceous earth, which was being used as animal food grade. This led to an unexpected chain reaction, causing the release of free radicals and a bleaching effect on the plants' leaves.
Additionally, the application of hydrogen peroxide resulted in the burning of bacteria present on and within the leaf veins. This process, similar to the effect of light burn, contributed to the browning and twisting of the leaves. When leaves are exposed to excessive light or heat, they can become brown and subsequently twist up, exhibiting signs of distress. These combined effects not only altered the aesthetic appearance of the plants but also had a profound impact on their nutrient uptake, as I had elaborated upon earlier in the article.
The intricate interplay of chemical reactions and biological processes within the cannabis garden underscores the necessity for precision and comprehensive knowledge in organic cultivation practices. It is a compelling reminder that every action, every component introduced to the garden, must be carefully considered for its potential consequences. The delicate balance of life within the ecosystem demands an astute understanding of the science behind each element employed in cultivation practices.
This incident, though initially wrought with challenges, has ultimately deepened my comprehension of the nuanced relationship between the cannabis plants and their environment. It underscores the profound interconnectedness of the elements at play within the garden and serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the cannabis plants.

"Anyway, this is it! I might need to remove some colas because there's just way too many in this 2x4 space. She'll need air circulation to grow big colas. I'll assess the colas as I start eliminating them in early flower. For now, she gets to recover and heal from the stress, snapping, and poisoning! Low light levels for a few days. Staying within 10.0DLI to prevent stretching. She'll be sprouting new pistils 🔫 next week.

Sorted out the colas and arranged them freely as they grow naturally.
One or two haven't fully healed from supercroping the other day, tied them up for support.
Took off the main ties holding the stems back. Will keep a close eye on her pull on the Scrog during week 11.
She's in her finally state now, ready to grow and bloom.
Few of the flowers are showing signs of fresh new pistils.

30/01/2024
Mid-day: Spread her out more and re arranged again. I need to leave this plant alone.
I will prefect this growing technique, I see a few mistakes I made on guiding her, rushed it a little.
Can't wait to see the back-end of this plant though, lol. All the mistakes are my fault, not the plant's obviously, but you know how it goes in the garden. Little voice: "I'm taking stock of all the errors and looking to learn from them. I know I've made some missteps with my organic soil and feeding schedule, and it's time to address these issues before my next attempt"
I think the timing of my feeding schedule and letting the soil dry out has been off, which may have led to the proliferation of bad bacteria in the soil. Additionally, I suspect that the wire I've been using may be causing the plant to react negatively, resulting in what looks like a poison-induced response on her stalks and stems. I've also noticed some open wounds from overdone supercropping on my part.
Researching on Cannabis Organic Soil Making:
After some research, I've found that making quality organic soil for cannabis cultivation requires a deep understanding of soil composition, nutrient cycles, and microbial activity. Using organic compost is essential to provide the right blend of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to support the plant's growth. By making my own organic compost, I can ensure that it's free from any harmful contaminants and tailored to the specific needs of cannabis plants.
Furthermore, I've learned that the soil needs to be well-aerated to ensure proper drainage and air circulation for the roots. This is important for maintaining a healthy microbial population in the soil, which facilitates nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It seems that my soil may have become compacted and lacking proper aeration, which could be contributing to the issues I've been experiencing.
According to my research, the feeding schedule for cannabis plants is crucial, especially when working with organic soil. I've realized that I need to be more attentive to the timing and frequency of feeding to prevent the soil from drying out excessively, as this can disrupt the balance of beneficial microorganisms. From what I've read, trying to maintain a consistent moisture level in the soil is key to ensuring the well-being of these microorganisms, which in turn supports the health of the plants.
Concerning the use of wire, I've come to understand that certain materials can have negative effects on plants. In my case, it seems that the wire I've been using may be leaching harmful substances into the soil, resulting in the plant's adverse reaction. I'll need to look for alternative methods for supporting the plants to avoid any further issues.
Dealing with a Sensitive Haze Strain:
I've also discovered that the Haze strain I've chosen to grow can be quite sensitive to its environment and feeding regimen. This can make it more prone to reacting negatively to any irregularities or contaminants in the soil. I've definitely underestimated the level of care and attention this strain requires, especially when it comes to feeding. This is a valuable lesson to keep in mind for my future growing endeavors.
Moving Forward:
Taking this step back and doing the research has shed a lot of light on the mistakes I may have made. Going forward, I plan to make necessary adjustments to my approach. Firstly, I'm going to focus on creating a high-quality organic compost to ensure that the soil is rich in beneficial microbes and free from any harmful substances. I'll pay close attention to the moisture levels and aeration of the soil, as well as refining my feeding schedule to better suit the needs of the sensitive Haze strain. In addition, I'll seek out alternatives to the wire support I've been using, to eliminate any potential sources of contamination for the plant.
In conclusion, I'm encouraged by the opportunity to learn from these challenges and improve my growing techniques. As frustrating as it can be to face setbacks, I believe that overcoming them will ultimately make me a better grower. I'm looking forward to applying these insights and making the necessary changes in my approach to achieve better results in the futurE.

Midnight for the plant time:
I've lowered temps: 21c at night,
24C Daytime: should help will healing and recovery.
I'll be checking in again next week – hopefully!
See you all then!
Let's go!"

Okay so I’ve been slacking a bit on the grow-diaries, only because I’ve had a lot going on and also because I don’t feel obligated to do so because this isn’t a sponsored grow. It’s been nice to have a little break but I think I’m ready to come back at it full force again.
These girls are living their best lives, they are all the same age and they are all thriving. Floraflex nutrients, as well as some Silica, Regina-root, and a trichome enhancer called “Grease”!! Seems like the real deal. Watering every other day and let me tell you these girls are very thirsty. Defol as needed!
My new HLG Blackbird lamp fixture is out of this world. My 3 autos that you can also find in my profile absolutely blew up. I typically fit 4 autos in my 3x3 but now it’s essentially one Purple punch from Fastbuds and I had to cram 2 more inside basically because they are going crazy. Unfortunately I had to move them from under the blackbird and put them under a HLG350R and they are still going crazy. Basically what I’m saying is HLG Lamps=Crazy growth and amazing lamps!! HLG has a lifetime customer!
That’s it for now but check in next week to see the progress!
Thanks for tuning in. Until next time and as always, Stay Smokey my Friends!!! 💨💨💨

Beginning of week..
So I had to make a last minute decision to go ahead and put her into my 2x2x5 with the WAKYME J2000 at 50% power. Hovering about 12 - 14 inches above the canopy and recieving roughly about 700 μMols in the center down to 500 μMols around the edges.. So when I get the center to about 900 - 950 μMols.. The edges should still be getting a good 700+ μMols! Fucking awesome!.. Nothing like running an overkill light at lower power in order to keep temps down and also to help the lifetime of the components! So for the next 2 - 3 weeks I will be going 50/50 with FloraGro and FloraBloom while she begins to flower.. I dont like counting the transition weeks as flower, some phenos and genos can transition in 1 week.. Some in about 3 weeks.. Had one take almost 4 weeks!! But I don't care to count the transition weeks as flower.. So she is receieving only 12 hours of light as of today.. Will begin counting flower when I see she is for sure stretching and for sure packin on the pistils at the crowns. She is going to need some defoliation and ALOT of branches to be removed.. May still try to ScrOG this 2×2.. Lol.. That just sounds funny.. I forgot how tiny this 2x2 is. Kinda taller than normal 2x2s so that should help a little if I need to raise the light any... She barely fits in here lol.. Thats fine.. I just need to make sure she stays under a 2 foot stretch and everything else will be perfect for this girl.. Runoff is coming out perfect.. RH is... Meh lol.. Its good.. It hovers up and down alot with the AC cutting off and on.. Cant wait for cooler temps!!! I love the winter.. So much easier to keep temps down.. I will be defoliating within the next couple days.. So by next update she will look a little different.. But damn she is so beautiful! Lol
Mid week..
So she has been lollipopped and branches adjusted a bit.. Not much else to report on.. Just waiting for the pistils to start poppin out of everywhere!.. Just 1 day after defoliation and she has noticeably filled out her canopy a bit! Can't wait can't wait CAN'T WAIT to see what this girl can do!
End of week..
Seems like she is at the very beginning of stretching.. 2 days ago I removed some inner facing leaves and they have already been replaced by the next same facing node! Cant really notice it because her tops arent getting ridiculously close to the light.. But that is definitely a sign of her stretching soon. I'll even bet it's noticeable before the middle of next week. Well.. On to the next week!!!...

Siguen muy bien las plantas, sigo encontrando hojas manchadas por araña roja pero decidí no aplicar nada de químicos, dejaré que las plantas sigan su proceso y trataré de controlar la plaga solo eliminando las hojas donde encuentre arañas o huevos, la plaga no pone en peligro la producción.
Sigo aplicando Advance Nutrients 2 veces por semana con 3 litros de agua por planta los martes y viernes, los domingos riego con 1 litro de solo agua a cada planta.

Shes reached 4 feet tall this week😎🌿
Did some defoliating to unblock some of the bud sights.🌺
She took well too last weeks flush & is back on the recommended regimen. 💉
Cant wait to see how these 2 turn out.
This is supposed to be a 7 week flower strain but probably gonna let go for 8 weeks flower.🤷♂️🏽

I was flushing all the plants since August 9.
You can see in the videos with de microscope ( I really try my best, but it was pretty difficult) the trichomes looks cloudy and some of them looks amber. Maybe in the videos you can't see it because my hand was really shaky.
August 17: all the plants were in dark.
August 18: i cleaned all the plants, buds, leafs, everything..., spraying water to remove the rests of potasic soap.
Today august 18, during the nigth, i'm going to harvest all the ladies.
In the past 3 days i didn't watering the plants and the smell was stronger.
August 19:
Before dry
-Critical Kush: 150g
-Red dwarf: 60g
-Syrup (2 plants): 270g
-Lemon (4 plants): 570g

Beginning of week..
No more Floralicious Plus.. It just makes the water very nasty. She is drinking like fucking crazy. She keeps drying out pretty quickly so I've been leaving some water in the runoff cup for her to have some extra on days Im not gonna be aroun till lights out.. We will see how that goes.. The leaves are still slowly yellowing.. I guess rOoTbOuNd is the issue?? Maybe?.. for once lol.. I understand tho cuz it is just a 9oz cup.. But she will make it! Got some slight red colors coming through on the tips of some top leaves (see last pic in Beginning of week) and the tips of a very few top calyxes.. Last time this plant was pretty colorful.. Hoping to get even more out of her this time around.. So I'm chilling the water.. Not just in the PM but every watering will be chilled. AM and PM.. About 35°F, I believe.. My PPM/EC/Temp meter doesnt show the correct temp.. Everything reads 50°F.. But it does great reading the TDS.. So it's still a keeper in my eyes lol.
Mid week..
The bottom set were pretty yellow and were easy to just tug off.. So I did.. Colas are starting to swell.. Under my 60x loupe, it seems like damnnear all the trichomes are cloudy.. Not many amber just yet.. And I'm not checking the leaves.. I'm checking trichomes on the calyxes.. Like you're supposed to lol.. Alot of people dont seem to realize that.. They see some amber trichomes on a leaf and think its time to harvest when you still got 2, 3.. Maybe even 4 more weeks to go lol.. Just what I've seen alot of.. But I know I'm on the right track.. She is pretty healthy for the most part.. Her clone is getting thick asf too! Lol.. Just 3 little nugs hahah.. I only water/feed it with runoff from her morher that has been a little watered down.. So far shes happy and loving life as well.. Not a bad strain for buy 10 get 10 free.. I wanna see how the White Widow Photoperiod turns out.. May throw one in under the 320H when I get all that set up.. Just waiting for this girl to finish for the most part.. Then I can get started on that.
End of week..
Lookin gorgeous asf! Calyxes are turning a little red toward the very tops of the colas.. Leaves are slightly doing the same.. Still some slow yellowing.. But the buds are super happy and healthy.. Still waiting of more pistils to turn.. But she is starting to swell nicely.. I love these girls... Lol.. On to the next...

Oct 2nd
- flushed Congo ((d)Urban Poison and Northern Lights) last night to remove Salts built-up in the soil; 25 gallon min. ea. Guess how pleasant they were to move Back into the House? … down a flight of stairs lol. It may be from the Congo, but I felt like frickin Tarzan afterwards
Oct 3rd,
- plan is to let Congo dry out for another day or two or three. Natural Mystic may be fed tomorrow depending on the Soil moisture (being the first plant flushed)
- when Congo is Fed next, that will probably be the last full-day of Light before Flowerings “Lites-out”
- Natural Mystic looks Fresh
Oct 4th
- top-dressed surface with Kelp Meal, scratched it in
- feeding N.Mystic tonight; very slowly…5.5L (reduced to 5.5L due to excessive run-off last feed; 33% of feed came out the btm)
- reached a milestone with this Congo; next meal is 7L
5th
- steady as she goes
- day 3 since the flush, the moisture meter has dropped large enough on Natural Mystic, it was fed 6L over 70 minutes. Will see if the run-off is less than last week from slow watering: No, the run-off was actually more, with slow-feeding. Volume reduced.
-realized there was no space BETWEEN THE POTS, to allow for any airflow… so I made some gaps in the floor-plan. Not rocket science, just N observation. Its going to help regardless of whether I can see the difference.
6th
- Congo fed 7L, no issues

J'ai eu un petit coup de stress çar les trichomes de la Kmintz ont commencé à devenir ambré (mais pour l'instant il y a que les feuille qui sont atteintes, les buds sont toujours avec des trichomes laiteux).
Elles avancent bien !
J'ai un léger retard sur la "Triple OG x Wedding Cake" qui risque de mettre un peu plus de temps que prévu !

Day 33 from Seed: In general these ladies have just got on with it this week while I worried about some of the other girls. Their training has been a breeze so far and they have been made more pliable by the silica. I have now stopped using the Mega crop in the Los soil now the pot is making it's own nutes but I will keep my eye on them for any paling and need to re feed with the Mc. The coco girls are on 1g/L to see how they settle into that now.
#1is doing brilliantly and her size indicates she will be a great yielder. She is quick to turn her heads back up once pinned so I will need a fast hand to keep up.
#2 The runt of the whole pack. I dont know why she is so small besides some evidence of def on her initial growing leaves. Her new growth looks a lot better but I think she will need less strength feed than the others. Her structure looks good but she is very small I general compared.
#3 was my expected star of the grow room but is now not in the front row anymore. She is perfect and growing great. training has been easy with her and her sites are plentiful too. I think she will be the biggest of the Smoothies.
I am very happy with their progress so far . great work Fast buds.

Introduction - Week 15 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 17541.8,
Wow what an epic grow week! First week within a 12/12 light cycle and lots of training got done!
Ca-Caw! Heady OG is blowing up with tops and been tucking to spread the canopy out a bit in the front left quadrant. But also started to let the right side grow through the netting.
As for TKO, been training growth upwards as she stretches through the scrog netting. Towards the end of the week, her top soil sensor started to cut out and had to swap it out with a new one.
Both the Heady OG and TKO clones have been transplanted into solo cups, but Heady OG is clearly struggling. To prevent the potential loss of the genetics, decided to take two more Heady OG cuttings.
Started my first batch of lactobacillus (LAB) serum and am waiting for the water to activate.
Also been researching about tissue culture and think this can be the solution to preserving genetics when space is limited.
Anyways,
Onwards Ensign!

-----------------------------------
- [+04:07]: Ca-Caw!! Let’s get this flower cycle started!
--- Time to switch the clocks from 18/6 to 12/12 which will begin the stretch to flower! Let’s go!
--- Within the AC Infinity App,
--- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller,
--- Changed the schedule from 'Vegetative [18/6]' to 'Flower [12/12]'
--- Also made sure to sync the settings for each device. The current settings are:
------ GROW LIGHT (MARS HYDRO FC-6500):
--------- The Mode is set to ‘ON MODE’
--------- The START/END times are set to 07:00PM/07:00AM
--------- The SUNRISE/SUNSET Duration value is set to 20Min

--------- The MIN/MAX values are set to 0/8
--------- The Temperature Dynamic Transition buffer value is set to 2°F
--- The only difference is the ON/OFF times for the grow light. Now lights will be on from 7pm to 7am (19:00 – 07:00).
--- Everything else is identical to the previous veg schedule.
--- Anyways,
--- LET THE TWO-WEEK STRETCH TO FLOWER BEGIN!!
- [+00:55]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Ca-Caw! Looking great my ladies!
--- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is continuing to blow up with more tops! The canopy is looking incredible!
--- TKO is also looking great with tops everywhere! She has taken over this grow and hyped that
- [+01:54]: Trained and tucked the top growth under the netting.
--- Canopy is flat and even again. Great!
--- Day one into the 12/12 flip and growth is looking great!
- [+01:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------------
------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1]

--------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet]
- [+01:59]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Mothers are all vegging along and the canopy is bushy and beautiful!
--- Pots also look good too. No gnats!
- [+02:01]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3),
--- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit.
--- Clone growth looks great for the most part and getting curious on root growth.
--- Heady OG looks green, but she has been very droopy the entire time. Not sure if this cutting will root, but there is no yellowing. May have messed up something in cloning.
--- The TKO clone looks beautiful. incredible!
--- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water.
- [+02:05]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
--- Over the past week or so, been research about Lactobacillus and the organic benefits. Plan to give it a try and will start the process tomorrow.
--- Shout out to Jeremy at BuildASoil for the YT videos and the Lacto recipe!
--- LOYAL TO THE SOIL FOR LIFE!
--- Anyways, Onwards Ensign!
Day 02 - Tuesday - 07/29/25 - Total Days: 107
-----------------------------------
Daily Averages ~[+01:00]
- Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C]

- Soil %: [50, 36, 49, 47, 43, 43, 43, 44]
-----------------------------------
- [14:24]: Okay! Time to start some Lacto Serum!
--- This lactobacillus serum is used to improve soil health and nutrient availability. This LAB serum can also be used to create fermented plant or fruit juices (FPJ/FFJ).
--- Anyways,
--- First need to make the rice wash solution!
--- Filled a mini wide-mouth mason jar with 1 cup of White Rice.
------ Added 1 cup of RO Water
--- Mixed the rice and water for a bit.
--- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band.
------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ]
- [14:38]: Great!
--- Mixed the rice and water again before pouring a little over 1/4 cup into a mini wide-mouth mason jar.
--- Covered the jar with a paper towel and rubber-band.
--- The current room temps are around 80°F
--- To start the microbial activation, going to let this rice water solution sit for a few days.
- [14:45]: Smelled the solution through the paper towel.
--- The solution smells like flour. Nothing foul.
--- From what I understand the process is pretty simple:
------ Create the rice wash solution and let it sit for a few days to activate (white or brown rice).
------ Mix 1 part activated rice wash solution to 10 parts whole or raw milk. Then let it sit for a few more days for the lacto cultures to proliferate.
------ Once the milk separates into essentially curds and whey, strain out the curds and the extracted whey is the finished Lacto Serum.
------ This serum should remain shelf stable in the fridge for several months.
------ Alternatively, black strap unsulfured molasses can be added to the serum at 1 part molasses to 4 parts serum. This will make the product stable enough for non-refrigerated storage (lasts several months).
------ As for application, the serum can be used as a soil drench or foliar feed at 4mL (~1tsp) per gallon of water.
--- Anyways,
--- Will check on this in a day or so and am waiting until the solution turns from a flour odor to more of a sweet aroma.
- [19:35]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Ca-Caw!! Looking great my ladies!
--- Both Heady OG and TKO are raging with more tops!
-- [20:37]: Trained the top growth.
--- Now starting to tuck mainly tucked Heady OG to spread growth out under the netting.
--- Letting TKO stretch through the netting and only tucked the taller tops. Mainly trained the back area (won’t be able to train this once growth starts to ramp upwards) and made sure each square has at least one apical top.
--- Also plucked and defoliated the Heady OG’s lower growth. Cleaned her legs and now she’s nice and smooth!
--- Wow TKO’s main stalks are huge! Can really reach back area now so going to let her grow.
- [20:47]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------------

- [21:34]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Ooo yea! All veg mama’s are thriving and bushy!
--- Getting close to the grow light again so time for more training!
- [21:53]: Super-cropped and trained the top growth.
--- Pinched and bent the taller branches and lowered the canopy by 5-6 inches.
- [21:58]: Checked on the propagation dome,
--- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit.
--- Clones are growing along and hopefully rooting.
--- Heady seems to be struggling, but she is still green.
--- TKO is looking great and she is starting to get taller!
--- Plan to check for roots in a couple days.
--- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water.
- [23:07]: Time for a mini upgrade! Got a set of magnetic levels.
--- Attached two levels to both the main tent and veg tent’s grow lights.
--- Not really necessary, but the added levels will be useful during height adjustments.
- [23:23]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

-----------------------------------
- [23:36]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Ca-Caw!! Looking beautiful my ladies! Wow! This is why we grow!
--- Both Heady OG and TKO are looking healthy and tops are bursting through the netting!
- [23:54]: Trained the top growth.
--- Mainly tucked and continued to spread Heady OG out to fill in more squares in the front left quadrant.
--- Did minimal training on TKO. Just letting her grow through the netting and wow growth is raging!
--- Wow! The canopy is looking beautiful!
- [23:59]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:

- [+00:03]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Wow mother growth is raging again!
--- Really wish I can flip these ladies to flower, but don’t have the space.
--- Plan to start another round of mother cycling soon. Will probably super-crop tomorrow.
- [+00:04]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3),
--- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit.
--- Wow clones are growing!
--- Heady OG is definitely going through some sort or rooting issue, but growth is still green. She is now starting to show signs of yellowing, so there may be roots, but not sure.
--- On the flipside, TKO is crushing it! She looks healthy and perky! The yellowing of the lower growth along with the healthy and perky top growth means there’s successful rooting and the clone is translocating nutrients to produce root growth. I think.
--- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water.
--- Oh! Also continuing to research tissue culture (TC) and have decided to give it a potential go.
--- Shout out to Laur and ‘Plants In Jars!’ Her incredible YT videos have been a huge game changer and a highly recommend free resource for anyone trying to get into DIY tissue culture!
--- Pretty much now I think tissue culture is the solution to my mother plant issue.
--- From the little I understand, tissue culture is basically an advanced form of plant cloning and can be done quite safely at home.
--- If done properly, plants suspended in tissue culture can be propagated and maintained indefinitely until needed.
--- Each TC sample is basically a mini self-contained mother plant pod.
--- Once needed, a TC sample can be brought back to a clone-like state for planting into solo cups.
--- Aside from the technical process (which is going to be fun to learn), the largest challenge is maintaining a sterile environment during propagation.
--- Anyways!
- [+00:10]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

- VPD: 0.75 kPa
- Soil %: [49, 36, 49, 46, 43, 43, 43, 44]
-----------------------------------
- [08:42]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Both growth and pots are looking great!
- [08:43]: Checked on the propagation dome,
--- Clones both look bad and good.
--- Concerned about Heady OG, but TKO has been healthy and perky the whole way.
- [08:45]: Time to check for roots.
--- Heady OG had one tiny root. Not ideal, but was actually surprised to find any root growth. Nice!
--- Woah! Nice! TKO is bursting with roots! She’s definitely ready to be transplanted!
--- Decided to plant both clones. Hoping that Heady OG will do better in the soil.
--- Time to transplant the rooted cuttings!
- [09:13]: Took 2 used solo cups (has bottom corners cut for drainage) and labeled each cup (Heady OG BX1, TKO).
--- Partially filled each with some fresh (dry) BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil.
--- Made sure that the soil was well packed.
--- Inoculated each cup with Great White mycorrhizae along with a bit of Beauveria Bassiana.
--- Misted the dry soil with a bit of RO water (~3 sprays each).
------ Sprinkled 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus
------ Sprinkled 1/16tsp of Great White
- [09:26]: Time to plant! One clone at a time,
--- Placed each clone into solo cups (also removed the clone tag).
--- Made sure each solo cup had enough room for more soil.
- [09:32]: Inoculated each Coco Coin with Great White mycorrhizae.
------ Sprinkled about an 1/16tsp of Great White onto each Coco Coin.
--- Made sure to get the top and sides evenly.
- [09:35]: Gently filled each solo cup with more soil.
--- Completely covered the top of each Coco Coin and made sure to tuck the sides fairly snug with soil.
--- Evened out the top soil. Each Coco Coin is about 1/4-1/2 inch below the top soil.
- [09:44]: Added some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch to the top.
--- Using the small straw bits at the bottom of the bag is great for solo cups.
--- Time to water!
- [09:51]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Coconut
------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe
------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete
--- Mixed and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle.
- [09:54]: Took the dry soil weight of each pheno before watering,
------ Heady OG (BX1) weighed 261.4g
------ TKO weighed 240.9g
--- Marked the starting weight on the back of each cup.
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup.
--- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible.
--- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again.
--- Repeated this process until both cups weighed at least 300g
--- There was no runoff.
--- Oops!
--- Had to slightly extend the day period (Lights usually turn off at 10:00).
- [10:04]: Took the weight of both phenos after watering,
------ Heady OG (BX1) weighed 301.2g
------ TKO weighed 301.4g
--- Marked the saturated wet weight on each cup.
- [10:12]: Placed both cups into the propagation dome.
--- Removed the side extensions along with the plug tray and have the cups resting in the main drip tray.
--- Have the lid and lights suspended above the tray (~00 inches).
--- Also increased the propagation dome’s bar lights.
------ Increased the intensity from 1 to 5
- [10:13]: Took general PPFD readings.
------ Clones were around 109 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.06 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle.
--- Turned the lights off and made sure that both were back to an 18/6 cycle (on from 16:00 to 10:00).
--- Ca-Caw!! Done!
--- Not worried about TKO, but getting concerned about Heady OG. Not sure if she is going to make it.
- [14:23]: Checked on the Lacto Serum.
--- The solution has been resting for 2 days.
--- Smelled the rice wash solution through the paper towel.
--- The odor has changed from the original flour odor but has not become sweet. However, the smell is getting there. I think.
--- Will continue to check and still waiting until the solution changes into a sweet aroma.
- [19:24]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Ooo yea! Growth is looking beautiful and raging along!
--- Both Heady OG and TKO are thriving with growth! The stretch is definitely ramping up!
- [20:08]: Trained and tucked the top growth.
--- Mainly focused on the Heady OG and spread her out a bit more evenly to fill in more squares.
--- Wow TKO by far going to be the largest plant I’ve grown in a 4x4 tent. She’s extremely dense with healthy tops shooting up everywhere!
--- Since I’m not tucking TKO anymore and she is getting taller, need to take readings and measurements.
- [20:38]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings.
------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was still around 361 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 15.60 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (at ~326.5W).
------ TKO was around 365 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 15.77 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle.
- [20:40]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements.
------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was still about 21.5" tall.
------ TKO was about 26" tall.
------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 31" away from the grow light.
------ TKO was about 27" away from the grow light.
--- Since Heady OG is clearly struggling to root, going to take a few more lower cuttings to make sure the genetics survives.
- [20:52]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water.
------ Added 1/8tsp of Horticultural Aloe
--- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a solo cup.
- [20:56]: Time to take the cuttings!
--- Using a pair of trimmers (AC Infinity),
--- Gently cut 2 small cuttings from Heady OG (BX1 #1). Took lower branches that did not reach the top canopy level.
--- Trimmed and cleaned most of the nodes leaving the top node or two.
--- Did not cut any leaf fingers.
--- Made sure the tip of the stalk had a slanted cut (about 45-degree).
- [21:02]: Placed both cuttings into the cup of aloe solution.
--- Also made sure the cuttings were tagged. Not really necessary, but why not.
- [21:05]: Placed the cup into the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Have the cup resting in the propagation dome next to the planted clones.
--- Going to let these cuttings soak for a day before refreshing with straight RO water.
--- Let the two-day soak begin!

--- Nice! Both Heady cuttings are looking healthy and not droopy.
- [22:38]: Time to swap the aloe water out!
--- Replaced the solo cup with a clean one filled with fresh RO water (1.5cups).
--- Going to let this soak for another day before transplanting into Coco Coins for rooting.
- [22:44]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
Day 06 - Saturday - 08/02/25 - Total Days: 111
-----------------------------------
Daily Averages ~[+01:00]
- Temps: 82.6°F [28.1°C]
- Humidity: 83.2%
- VPD: 0.66 kPa
- Soil %: [50, 36, 50, 47, 42, 43, 43, 45]
-----------------------------------
- [07:59]: Quick morning check on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent).
--- Ooo yea! The clones and cuttings are looking healthy and green!
--- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is droopy and seems to be recovering. I think?
--- TKO is looking healthy and looking beautiful!
--- Nice! Both Heady OG (BX1 #2 and #3) cuttings are looking good! These cuttings are quite a bit smaller than the last round, but they are healthy and green!
- [20:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Ca-Caw! Wow the canopy is thriving!
--- Heady OG is looking healthy and perky!
--- Wow! TKO is stacking up with nodal branching and crowning is everywhere with perky tops!
- [20:13]: Did a bit of tucking on the front left quadrant.
--- Could have trained Heady OG another week in veg before flipping to flower, but oh well. TKO needed to be flipped.
- [20:32]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------------
------ 45% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1]
------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1]
------ 66% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO]
------ 47% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO]
------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ----------------
------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1]
------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2]
------ 42% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1]
------ 43% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2]
--------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55%
--------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet]
--- Needed to swap out the batteries for TKO’s top soil sensor (CH03).
--- Apparently there is a slight flaw with the programing on the WittFlows. Since the watering function is based on the channel and not the sensor, when TKO’s top sensor cuts out, the new CH03 (which is TKO’s bottom sensor) takes over.
--- Anyways,
- [20:38]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Veg garden is looking beautiful and wow top growth needs more training!
- [20:53]: Super-cropped the top growth a bit.
--- Lowered the canopy a few inches.
--- Growth is getting out of control! Wow! Need to take cuttings soon to start the cycling process.
--- Anyways!
- [20:54]: Checked on the clones,
--- Wow clone growth is looking very good!
--- Heady OG seems to be recovering nicely in the soil and I’m getting more confident that she’s going to make it. Nice!
--- TKO is looking great! She’s going to root and will be ready for transplant in a week or so.
--- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking healthy and ready to be rooted!
--- Time to plant the second round of Heady OG (BX1) cuttings!
- [21:13]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water.
------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60]
------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe
------ Added 1/32tsp of Mycrobe Complete
--- Mixed the solution thoroughly.
- [21:17]: Dropped 2 Coco Coins into the measuring cup.
--- The coins immediately started to expand.
------ [ ~10 MINUTES LATER ]
--- Took each fully saturated Coco Coin and temporarily placed them in half-cut solo cups.
--- Using a squeeze bottle filled with Clonex,
- [21:38]: Gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel.
--- Time to plant the cuttings!
- [21:43]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut.
--- Also stripped and scrapped some of the stem’s outer membrane.
--- To help with planting, gave each Coco Coin a squeeze to loosen the coco.
--- Made sure to insert each stem straight and snug with the tip about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the Coco Coin.
--- Also secured the stem by pinching and pressing in the sides of the Coco Coin.
--- After both cuttings were planted,
--- Temporarily took the clones out of the propagation tray. Also placed the plug tray back in.
- [21:53]: Placed both Coco Coins into the propagation dome’s tray.
--- Since these cuttings are both identical cultivars, no need to really name.
--- Added 1/2 cup of RO water to the bottom of the tray.
--- Since I’m not using the dome lid (which is currently hanging above the tray), misted a couple of clear cups with RO water.
- [21:55]: Covered both cuttings.
--- Will need to mist the cups for the first few days in the tray.
--- While rooting the cuttings, noticed that both clones (Heady OG BX1 and TKO) need to be watered already.
--- Let’s go!
- [22:02]: Took the initial starting weight range of both clones before watering,
------ Heady OG BX1 #1 » 261.4g → 301.2g
------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g
--- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet]
--- All phenos were last watered 2 days ago.
--- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering,
------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g
------ TKO weighed 253.5g
--- While on a scale,
--- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water.
--- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible.
--- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again.
--- Repeated this process for both cups.
--- There was no runoff.
- [22:18]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering,
------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 278.2g
------ TKO weighed 253.5g
--- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front.
- [22:27]: Placed both phenos back into the tent.
--- Done! Grow strong little ones!
- [22:33]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
Day 07 - Sunday - 08/03/25 - Total Days: 112
-----------------------------------
Daily Averages ~[+01:00]
- Temps: 83.1°F [28.4°C]
- Humidity: 83.0%
- VPD: 0.68 kPa
- Soil %: [48, 37, 49, 51, 42, 43, 43, 45]
-----------------------------------
- [08:13]: Quickly checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent).
--- Wow the clones are looking incredible!
--- Heady OG is looking better and she’s still recovering.
--- TKO is looking healthy and getting bigger. Nice!
--- Both Heady OG cuttings are also looking healthy and look better than the first attempt (the recovering clone).
--- Misted both cups with RO water.
- [19:06]: Night check on the 4x4 tent.
--- Ca-Caw!! Woah these ladies are definitely in full stretch! These girls are getting taller by the hour! Wow!
--- Heady OG is looking beautiful and she is exploding with upwards growth! The middle of the canopy is basically at the same height as TKO. Incredible!
--- Ooo yea! TKO is crushing it! Wow! She’s a good 7 inches above the scrog netting!
--- The canopy is getting stacked with nodal growth! This garden is ramping up to be my best grow cycle yet!
- [19:14]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data:
------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------------
------ 54% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1]
------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1]
------ 50% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO]
------ 41% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO]
------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ----------------
------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1]
------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2]
------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1]
------ 49% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2]
--------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55%
--------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet]
- [19:16]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent.
--- Wow veg growth is raging with health and vigor!
--- Mothers are looking beautiful and canopy is bushy!
--- Nice! Clones and cuttings are looking healthy!
--- Misted the cutting’s cups with RO water.
- [19:46]: Back in the 4x4 main tent,
--- Decided to tuck Heady OG a bit more and tried to spread the growth in the front left quadrant.
--- Growth is going to be uneven but I think the left side will eventually even out. I think.
- [19:54]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system.
--- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing.
- [19:58]: Checked the humidifiers.
--- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
--- Another week done and the garden is vibing and thriving!
--- Next week will be the end of the stretch phase and as growth slows down, will hopefully see signs of budding.
--- Ca-Caw! Stoked for this grow and can’t wait until these girls start to flower.
- [+02:20]: TKO’s soil sensor cut out again..
--- Swapped out the unit with a new one and re-synced the channel to correct sensor ID.
--- The old sensor got water damage. Going to try to dry it out, but really glad I have a couple spare units.
--- Also glad that TKO seems to be taking the extra watering without any issue! May try to increase the soil moisture average next week for both pots.
--- Anyways! Onwards Ensign!

Hey, cannabis enthusiasts and connoisseurs! 🌿🔥 The journey with our Runtz F1 has been nothing short of legendary, and now we’re at the stage that every grower eagerly awaits—the trim and smoke report. This Runtz F1 has delivered beyond expectations, and I can’t wait to share the details with you. Let’s dive in!
The Trim Process 🌾✂️
The trimming process was an experience in itself, filled with care and attention to detail. Here’s how it all went down:
• Breaking Down the Branches 🌿:
• First, we carefully broke down the plant into manageable branches, making sure to preserve the integrity of each bud. The structure of the Runtz F1 made this easy, with its dense, compact colas ready for precision trimming.
• Trim Bin Magic ✂️:
• Using a Trim Bin, we meticulously trimmed away the sugar leaves, leaving behind only the most beautiful, resin-coated buds. The Trim Bin isn’t just a tool; it’s a game-changer, allowing us to catch every last bit of precious kief that falls during the process. This extra kief is like a bonus for those special moments when you want to add a little something extra to your smoke.
• Preserving Terpenes with Grove Bags 🛍️:
• Once trimmed, the buds were placed into Grove Bags for curing. These bags are revolutionary in the cannabis world, designed to lock in terpenes and keep your buds fresh for the long haul. Unlike traditional jars, Grove Bags use a special TerpLoc technology that creates a perfect microclimate within the bag, balancing out oxygen and moisture levels. This means your buds cure evenly without the need for burping, preserving that incredible citrus terpene profile we’ve come to love from the Runtz F1.
The Legendary Smoke 🌬️🔥
Now, let’s talk about the smoke—because this is where the Runtz F1 truly shines.
• Flavor Explosion 🍊🍋:
• The moment you take your first inhale, you’re hit with a symphony of citrus flavors. It’s like walking through a citrus grove with the sun shining down—notes of oranges, tangerines, and lemons come through strong, each one distinct yet harmoniously blended. But the magic doesn’t stop there; an underlying hint of vanilla sneaks in on the exhale, rounding out the flavor with a creamy, smooth finish. It’s an experience that dances on your palate, leaving you craving more.
• Aroma 🌿🌸:
• The smell is just as captivating as the flavor. As soon as you open the Grove Bag, the room fills with that zesty citrus aroma, complemented by a subtle sweetness from the vanilla undertone. It’s the kind of smell that makes you pause and appreciate the craft that went into growing this plant.
• The Effects 🌟:
• The effects of the Runtz F1 are as balanced as its flavor profile. Expect an initial wave of uplifting energy—perfect for daytime use or when you need a creative boost. As the high settles in, it mellows into a relaxed, yet focused state. It’s the best of both worlds: energizing without being overwhelming, and calming without knocking you out. This makes it an ideal strain for those who want to stay productive while still enjoying a potent, flavorful smoke.
Final Thoughts and Invitation 🎥✨
The Runtz F1 has proven itself to be a true connoisseur’s strain—a perfect blend of flavor, aroma, and effects that’s both complex and satisfying. This was a journey that showcased the importance of patience, precision, and care, from germination all the way to the final cure.
If you want to dive deeper into the entire process, from the first week of veg to the final trim, I’ve documented it all on my YouTube channel. Join me there for a closer look at how this incredible strain came to life, and learn more about the tips and techniques I used to bring out the best in these plants.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey, from the community to the amazing brands like Gro Diaries, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Kannabia, and more. Your support and tools have been invaluable.
Remember, the magic is in the details—so never stop learning, growing, and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Stay positive, stay curious, and keep spreading the love! 🌿💚

Ayeeee this Diamond Belle is doing great! Ive been trying to find balance within touch sun light and not enough lol. I don't want to push her too hard in full sun all day. How ever she has been doing good these last few days outside. I'll keep her in shade every once in a while giving her a break.
Ive gotten her on a good nutrient schedule. Ive also been adding sugar to my water when I'm watering just water. So it's sugar water. But ill be feeding every 3 days. With the Bloom booster and sugar. I go light. Cause light is more ✨️ 😌
Let's see how she does. Thankful.
Get chu some beans @ beanpatchseeds.

📚🌱 Grow Course – Lollipopping & Light Management (MonsterMarker) 👹
When working on my MonsterMarker, I focus on the center of the plant 🌿.
By carefully removing some of the big leaves in the middle ✂️🍃, the light can penetrate straight down to the bottom and through the canopy 🌞➡️🌱.
This ensures that even the inner bud sites get proper light distribution and don’t get shaded out. Balanced light = stronger flowers and more consistent growth 🔥🌸.
It’s all about finding the sweet spot: remove just enough for light, but keep enough leaves for energy reserves 💚.
👉 Stay tuned for more grow lessons & follow along for the results 🚀🌍.
