Hello, green warriors and cannabis enthusiasts! 🌱🔥 We’re now in the 4th week of flowering in our epic Runtz Battle, and things are getting intense! This week was a major milestone as we performed a deep, mass defoliation to set the stage for the final push toward harvest. Let’s dive into the details and explore the impact of this crucial step. Week 4 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟 Our Runtz plants are thriving as they enter the second half of the flowering phase. Here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds are swelling beautifully, with trichome production ramping up across all plants. The flowers are becoming increasingly dense and aromatic, promising a rich and flavorful harvest. The F1 strain continues to stand out with its compact, resin-packed buds that are now truly taking shape. • Environmental Consistency 🌡️: • We’ve kept the environment stable with a room temperature of 30.3°C, water temperature at 18°C, and humidity at 51%. These conditions are ideal for promoting healthy flowering and preventing any issues as the buds continue to bulk up. The Power of Defoliation 🌿✂️ This week, we carried out a deep, mass defoliation—an essential practice for optimizing bud production. Let’s break down what defoliation is and why it’s so important at this stage: • What is Defoliation? 🌱✂️: • Defoliation involves selectively removing a significant amount of fan leaves from the plants. This process is particularly beneficial during the flowering stage as it allows better light penetration and air circulation to the lower bud sites. • Why Defoliation Matters 🌟: • Light Penetration: By removing excess foliage, we’re ensuring that light can reach deeper into the canopy. This light exposure helps to stimulate growth in the lower buds, leading to a more uniform and higher-quality yield across the entire plant. • Air Circulation: Better airflow reduces the risk of mold and mildew, especially as the buds become denser and more susceptible to moisture-related issues. • Energy Focus: Removing large fan leaves redirects the plant’s energy from maintaining foliage to developing the buds. This means the plants can put more effort into producing larger, more resinous flowers. • How the Runtz Plants Responded 🌸: • The Runtz strains handled the defoliation like champions! They’ve already begun responding positively, with the remaining leaves and buds soaking up the extra light and air. We’re expecting to see even more vigorous bud development in the coming weeks as a result of this defoliation. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 Our nutrient and care approach continues to support the plants as they push through this critical flowering stage: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • With the Autopots still running smoothly, we’re maintaining the Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The rich soil, bolstered by organic inputs, is providing all the necessary nutrients to sustain healthy growth and flower production. • The defoliation has also allowed us to closely inspect the plants, ensuring they’re free from pests and diseases and making any necessary adjustments to the care routine. • Lighting and Environmental Control 🌡️: • The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro continues to deliver powerful, even light, now reaching even more of the plants thanks to the defoliation. • The TrolMaster Hydro-X controller is keeping everything dialed in, maintaining the perfect environment for the Runtz strains to thrive. The Zamnesia Gear Shines 🌟📸 We captured some amazing photos this week, showcasing the defoliation process and our beautiful Runtz plants. Shoutout to the incredible gear from Zamnesia that makes this journey even more enjoyable. Their products not only perform exceptionally well but also look fantastic in action! 🌿📸 Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we move into the latter stages of flowering, we’re expecting some serious bud development. The defoliation has set the stage for the Runtz strains to focus all their energy on creating dense, resinous flowers. The next few weeks are going to be critical as we fine-tune the environment and prepare for the final push towards harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this thrilling journey. The finish line is in sight, and the anticipation is building! 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week4Flower #CannabisCommunity #DefoliationDay #BudDevelopment #GreenMagic #ZamnesiaGear #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX #GrowStrong #StayPositive Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @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 #RuntzBattle #KannabiaVsZamnesia #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 💚

A few sprouting for my 2nd wave of dwarfs today. Day 45 for first few (except the one slow poke whos about 2 weeks behind). All seems to be going well nice green to them. I noticed the spots just recently i think i might have put to much ph down in the flush feeding and theyre telling me ph flux?? Got a mutant who once grew 5 fingers but since flwr has been growing only 3 fingers. i read its a ruderailis trait. Shes staying super short too. My temps. are good 45% humidity with lights on now just put the dehumidifier in see if shell work for me again i got a chance to go in during darkness and rh was upto 70%.

You're tuning in to week 2 of veg, mid week to be specific. She's growing strong. Middle of the pack among the 3 in the tent. Otherwise not much to report. Will probably start watering with small dose of nutes from next week onwards. My spiderfarmer sf1000 arrived this week so have swapped out the old cob led. It's a neat piece of kit. Gives me much better coverage, it's more efficient, and kinder on the eyes, both for me in person and in the photos.

Purple Punch is a popular cannabis strain known for its potent effects and fruity, dessert-like aroma. Its genetics are rooted in a cross between Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple (GDP), two highly regarded strains in the cannabis world. Here's a breakdown of its genetics: Parent Strains 1. Larry OG Type: Hybrid (Indica-dominant) Origin: Derived from OG Kush, a classic strain with a strong, earthy, and piney aroma. Effects: Known for its relaxing and euphoric qualities. Larry OG contributes to Purple Punch's calming effects and robust growth structure. 2. Granddaddy Purple (GDP) Type: Indica-dominant Origin: A cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud, GDP is famous for its deep purple hues and sweet grape-like aroma. Effects: Provides sedative, body-heavy effects. This parent is responsible for Purple Punch's vibrant purple coloration and sweet, fruity terpene profile. Purple Punch Characteristics Type: Indica-dominant hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) THC Levels: Typically ranges between 18-25%, making it potent but manageable for most users. Flavors and Aromas: Sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of grape candy, blueberry muffins, and Kool-Aid. Effects: Starts with a euphoric cerebral high, followed by deep body relaxation and sedation. Medical Uses: Popular for treating insomnia, stress, pain, and lack of appetite. Growing Information Difficulty: Moderate; suitable for growers with some experience. Height: Medium-sized plants with dense, bushy growth. Flowering Time: About 7-9 weeks indoors. Yield: Moderate to high yields, especially with proper care and nutrients. Appearance: Striking purple hues, dense frosty buds covered in trichomes. Purple Punch seeds are highly sought after by both recreational and medicinal users, thanks to their unique genetic makeup and well-rounded effects.

So the girls are doing welll, water change and nutrient top up. Girls were looking a bit light green. But less is more, you can always add nutrients but can't really take away. Just a rule i like to go by. For some reason one of the girls overnight just turned bad/and a bit crispy like.. she's still trying to flower so ill see whats up. I'm putting it down to genetics as the other two are fine and I've been giving them all the same treatment.. if anyone knows do drop a comment. Other than that all is going great, ill be adding a new spider farmer sf2000 to the mix for some bigger buds hopefully.. so i will have some good coverage. Follow the YouTube channel for a more in depth look. Stay tuned FlavoursUK

The trim was easy and the buds are super fat full of resin✂️🤩 The smell is delicious🤤

Week 7 Flower - Notice that the tops of some of the Tops are pretty hard. Think they got a bit cooked by the LED... Hifi 4G & Blueberry Pics are missing from this week...I thought I had taken some footage, but seems that I got distracted. Work has been nuts so not surprising that I gapped on that. Hifi 4G is needed more support. Looks like a blue ribbon chaos around it. Blueberry looks fantastic.

spider mite and tripes atack, but now is controled whit copper sulfate and sulfur.

Tag 44: getoppt an 4 Zweigen. Tag 47: Ich gebe Alg a mic zur Hitzestress Behandlung ins gießwasser, die Pflanze ist an machen Stellen schon recht hell geworden, aber draußen wird es auch bald Kühler.

12/29/21 - Welcome to Week 6! We are almost there. The plants are really showing off colors of yellow, orange and purple. The buds are getting larger and more dense. We fed the plants with the nutrients listed above. 12/30/21 - We are on track for a good harvest. Today is Day 44. We think it’ll be within the 55-60 day mark for harvest. We are just about ready to flush and use regular water for awhile. The buds are huge and very dense. Check out todays video! 12/31/21 - Wow… So frosty and dense! We are excited for harvest. So far so good! We have lots of purple buds. Happy New Years Eve. 1/1/22 - Happy New Year! They are looking really good this year ;) We are done with nutrients and we are going to water with phed water only. We might run Sledgehammer once or twice to get more of a flush. 1/2/22 - Day 47! The plants are on track. We are getting some massive tops with big chunks of purple on the buds. Such beautiful plants! 1/3/22 - We are loving the colors! We have a few weeks left. Harvest time is coming quick and we are getting everything ready for it. We are going to use an iPower bowl trimmer and toss all the popcorn in the bowl to be used for scented topicals. 1/4/22 - Looking really good today. We are just watering with plain water and the buds are like rocks. We have a ton of work ahead of us lol. It’ll be worth it!

Buds should begin to fatten

Start of Week 9 🙌 I plan to use fertilizer for bud growth from day 64 to day 70+... depending on when the harvest time occurs 😉😄👍 Started working with fertilizer today, every 2 days a mixture of 10ml per liter as long as the buds have not properly developed trichomes 😵 I hope this works 😵😲😱 Day 68 with fertilizer again

Harvest was done on a lovely summer day. Since summer was approaching, half of the harvest was hung upside down with the classic 60/60 and rest is stored in a wine cooler for drying. There’s also an oscillating fan below for airflow!

D29 - 10.15 - Well frens, they may not recover from this one. All my plants look about like this right now, with all the new growth shriveled and some discoloration showing up on the fans. Plants that did not seem affected before treatment are now showing this. Let me know what you think. My treatment for 3 days in a row may have been far too harsh? Will they recover... How could they? I'd have to remove all of this bad growth... This is devastating :( D30 - 10.16 - I got my bugs and released them in all my areas, even outside my tents haha. I'm gonna rest my aching soul for a week before documenting and checking back in here. Current Status : no new damage is happening and the plants are still growing. Some of the growth is not damaged, so there seems to be a little hope. Thanks again for all the good vibes and help everyone. @SpinnerGrow @bulbi @ExperimentGreen @Stick @Mrs_Larimar @BeefWellingtons @HighTV @SommerVirelli If things progress further into contamination I will cut my losses, rigorously clean and tart over. I will have lost 6 weeks of grow, but fuck, what's that in the long run when I'm learning and can fix these issues.

Day 71-1/10/22 gonna flush these babies one more time!!!!

Another week in the books. About two more weeks to go and these ladies are looking fantastic. They have really expressed themselves in this pass week. Buds are rock solid dense I hope for a bit more bud development as far as size but if not the density definitely makes up for it. The Trichomes on each plant are becoming more and more pronounced each day. I am starting to see a fade happen olin all plant so harvest window is approaching. Aiming for day 70 ish harvest or slightly later.
