Germination Report: Runtz vs. Runtz 🌿✨ Hey there, green thumbs and cannabis enthusiasts! 🌱🌟 I'm thrilled to share the exciting details of our Runtz vs. Runtz germination journey. Buckle up, because this ride is packed with fun, knowledge, and a touch of green magic! 🍃💫 The Germination Journey 🌱🚀 Our Runtz seeds were given the royal treatment from the get-go! We kicked things off with the Cannakan method, ensuring our precious seeds had the best start. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: Hydration Stage 💧: Seeds were soaked in water, embracing their first taste of life. This process lasted about 30 hours, allowing the seeds to absorb enough moisture to kickstart germination. Watching those little seeds swell up is always a magical moment! 🌟 Transition to Soil 🌿: After their water bath, the seeds were gently transferred to soil. This crucial step ensures they have the nutrients and environment they need to grow strong and healthy. Each seed was placed in a cozy, nutrient-rich bed, ready to sprout and thrive.

🌱 Week 4 Veg: Thriving Despite the Chill 🌟 As we close out Week 4 of veg, I couldn’t be more impressed with how resilient and strong the Zamnesia Runtz are growing! Despite the freezing cold temperatures outside—evident in some snapshots of my frosty mint plants in the veggie garden—these beauties are thriving in their cozy indoor setup. The Aptus Holland Nutrient Spray: A Deep Dive This week, I treated the Runtz to a refreshing shower with Aptus Holland’s nutrient spray, a game-changer in plant health and vigor. Let’s break it down: • What Is It? Aptus nutrient sprays are foliar feeds designed to deliver essential nutrients directly to the leaves. They provide immediate uptake, bypassing the roots and giving the plant a quick boost in vitality. • Why Use It? Foliar feeding is especially beneficial during veg because it enhances nutrient absorption and promotes lush, healthy foliage. It’s also a fantastic way to supplement nutrients if the roots are growing but not yet absorbing nutrients at peak efficiency. • What Does It Do? Aptus sprays improve plant metabolism, strengthen cellular structure, and boost resistance to environmental stresses—perfect for battling those colder temps! • How I Applied It I used a fine mist to ensure even coverage across all leaves, aiming for the undersides where stomata are most active. Afterward, the plants looked vibrant and energized, ready to keep pushing those gorgeous leaves. A New Partnership: Grove Bags and TerpLoc Technology I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership with Grove Bags! Known for their TerpLoc technology, these bags are a true revolution in cannabis storage and curing. • Why Grove Bags? Grove Bags are designed to create the perfect microclimate for cannabis. Their TerpLoc technology helps preserve terpenes—the essential oils responsible for the flavor, aroma, and effects of cannabis—by locking them in while allowing oxygen and moisture to escape. • How They Work TerpLoc bags combine several unique layers: • Moisture Control: Maintains ideal humidity levels to prevent over-drying or mold. • Oxygen Barrier: Blocks excessive oxygen exposure, which can degrade terpenes. • UV Protection: Shields the buds from harmful light that can alter their chemical composition. • Why This Matters For anyone who’s spent months cultivating a crop, ensuring the harvest cures and stores properly is the final crucial step. Grove Bags will play an essential role in preserving the quality and flavor of this Runtz grow, keeping the terps intact for that unforgettable smoke experience. A big thank you to Grove Bags for joining this journey. I can’t wait to showcase their role in the final stages of this grow! Photo Magic: Nikon P900 & Sony A6000 Capturing the Runtz in all their glory is part of the journey, and this week’s shots were nothing short of stunning. Using both the Nikon P900 and Sony A6000 allowed for crisp, detailed photos that highlight the beauty of these young plants. From their vibrant green tones to the intricate structure of their leaves, these images tell the story of strength and potential. Week 4 Veg: What It Means Week 4 in veg is a critical time in a grower’s journey. By now, the plants have developed a strong root system and are focusing on building structure. This is when: • Leaf Development Peaks: Bigger leaves mean more photosynthesis and energy production. • Growth Accelerates: Plants use this time to set the foundation for flowering, with nodes spacing out and stems thickening. • Preparation for Transplanting: Root systems are expanding, making it the perfect time to plan for a move into larger pots, as we’ll be doing next week! Looking Ahead Next week, the Runtz will graduate to larger pots—not their final AutoPot homes yet, but an essential step for continued growth. This transition will help the roots spread further, setting the stage for a thriving flowering phase. Community & Gratitude A huge thank you, as always, to my sponsors and supporters: • Aptus Holland • Pro-Mix Soil • TrolMaster Ecosystem • ThinkGrow LED • Future of Grow LED • CannaKan Germination Station • Zamnesia and Plagron for making this Eternity Cup journey so special • Ziggi Papers • And now, our newest partner: Grove Bags To the amazing Grow Diaries community, you continue to inspire me daily. I’ve been blown away by the incredible work and creativity I’ve seen in other diaries—it’s motivating and humbling all at once. Good luck to everyone; let’s make this journey one to remember! 💚 Final Thoughts From the frosty outdoors to the warmth of my grow room, these Runtz are proving their resilience and promise. Each week, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this strain, and the excitement for what’s to come keeps growing. Stay tuned for Week 5, where we’ll delve into the transplant process, nutrient updates, and more. Let’s keep learning, growing, and sharing the magic together!

Welcome to week 7 of my grow diary. The weather this week has been phenomenal! I hope it stays this way. The air is dry and the sun is shining brightly. Due to the weather I had to increase the watering again. Growth is slowing down. This week, there was only 5 cm of growth. The buds are forming and there is a light fruity scent in the air. The terpenes have a citrusy, creamy note. Reminds me a little of Gorilla Cookies, but with more fruitiness. See you next week!

AVT is coming along nicely. Especially considering the abuse I put her through a few weeks ago. Buds are developing nicely and starting to get frosty 😃. I kind of dig the bonsai'ish shape she has near the top due to my over HST'ing. There will be no more abuse to this girl, only some defoliation as needed. AVT is front-left in the group pics.

What can I say in the end except that I am very happy that everything went well again and now I am enjoying the wonderful smoke of Cookies Gelato. Here is a quick overview of this cycle. 21/06/2022 - planting 14/09/2022 - harvest 3 weeks of vegetation 8 weeks of flowering 15 days of drying 60 years. total yield 1 Cookies Gelato Auto plant After harvesting, the plant was dried for 15 days, after which I trimmed the flowers and put them in jars to ripen. I think I've stated almost everything I had in mind. If anyone has any questions, feel free to write. I have to admit that the grow diaries community is not that active anymore and I'm sorry that it has come to that. I hope that the right things will come into focus again so that the community can grow and not compete. Thank you all for your support.

Très bonne semaine, aucun problème de chaleur et hygrométrie au top... Orange sherbet : Toujours aucune différence réel entre les engrais utilisé, 2 des 3 spécimens sont d'une taille gigantesque, l'une dépasse les 65 cm et l'autre est quelques peu plus petite de 3 ou 4 cm 👌. Le 3iem plants que j'ai façonné pour être plus court mais plus dense avec de grosses feuilles bien épaisse, c'est très bien comporté et ne subit pas de réelle stresse face aux techniques utilisées pour créer ce type de résultat (plante basse et massive a la limite du bonsaï 💪), bien sûr le test ici est de voir si ce type de culture pour cette variété est rentable ou non 😉. 2 plants taillé et un plant pincé. Le plant pincé a eu une réaction d'activation de pré-floraison, les deux autres n'ont subit aucun stress dû a la taille 👌. Afghani : Je suis plus que satisfait de mon résultat de fin de croissance pour mes 3 plants, il font une taille resonable de 45 cm et devrait donc si tout est ok avoir une progression en fin de floraison a 120 voir 130 cm 👍. Le plant sous Monster Bud' est plus robuste que les 2 autres, mais reste a voir si en floraison il sera aussi abondant, de plus je crains d'avoir un goût plus suave et acide dû au fait que les engrais organiques reste dans le sol et qu'il devient alors impossible de rincer la plante en fin de période 🤔. 2 plants taillé et un plant pincé... Réaction normal avec l'un ou l'autre mais une légère préférence pour le pinçage plutôt que la taille pour des raisons évidentes de structure. Permanent marker : Très belle structure du tronc, feuillage bien épais et plante travaillé pour rester a niveau des autres variétés. Le plant a été taillé car le tronc est bien large et devrait pouvoir supporter ce type de structure sans trop intervenir dans son maintient... A voir ! Je suis bien déçu de ne pas avoir un deuxième sujets pour tester et faire des comparaisons 😡, si cette variété fait ce qu'elle promet je reprendrai des graines mais chez Zamné (je boycotte Blimburn, pour leur incompétence dans ce domaine). Girl scoot cookies : Toujours ce léger retard qui en fait une plante trop basse, j'ai donc tenté une taille abusive a laquelle elle a très bien réagi 😋. J'ai tout de même surélevé sont pot pour la ramener à hauteur des 2 autres plants. Je vois déjà le résultat que cela vas donner en fin de floraison 😁😁😁... Celà me rappelle mes premiers essais il y a 10 ans ! La plante ce porte très bien et a une amplitude massive dû a ces belles feuilles bien verte et très très épaisse 😊. Elle présente un tronc hors norme et bien agencé dans ça structure, j'ai hâte de voir sont évolution 😁. S.plant : J'ai un faible pour cette plante qui n'a rien a faire ici 😍. Elle est magnifique avec des feuilles extrêmement longue et finement taillé en pointe (Sativa ❤️). Je l'ai taillé car étonnamment elle est restée très basse et a bien entendu donné de très belles branches secondaires avec une levé extraordinaire en 3 jours 👍, c'est comme si elle m'écoutais pour me donner le meilleur d'elle-même 🤩. Vous l'aurez compris c'est devenu la chouchoute 😉. Le plant fait pile poil la taille des autres plants mis sous cette lampe, je ne pouvais pas espérer mieux 👌. Bon ça va être sportif en floraison mais on va s'adapter et si elle me pose problème, je rajouterai deux autres lampes en 400W pour ne pas gâcher 😁. Nous voilà donc en fin de croissance, je voulais prendre 1 semaine de plus mais Orange sherbet en a décidé autrement 🤗, je respecte son choix 😁👌. Zoo, 36 heures dans le blackout total 🤣😂 pour activer la floraison via un léger stresse, je taf a l'ancienne sur cette culture Oui Oui 🤣😂. Bien entendu je ne compte pas ces 36 heures dans ma 1ere semaine de floraison, donc nous aurons un décalage pour le prochain post ✌️. D'ici-là bonne culture a tous 😉.

I'm going away for 30 days about a week into this grow. I'm going to automate weeks 1 through 5 by using the Blumat watering system along with the automated fan from AC Infinity. Hopefully, these will keep things going while I'm gone. I've never used the Blumat products before and I'm excited to see their potential. If I succeed, I'll return to happy 5-week old plants. If not, I'll have to start a new grow...which is what I was going to do anyway. I have nothing to lose but a couple of seeds. Let's get this automated grow started. Day 1 - I placed the seeds directly in a fist-sized clump of Coast of Maine Seed Starter soil that was then placed in a 3-gallon pot full of Coast of Maine Stonington Blend. This will ensure the seedling doesn't get exposed to the nutrient-rich soil too soon. I set the light 2 feet above the top of the pots so they have room to grow into the 18" to 12" range. I also set the light strength to 60% during germination. The temperature in the tent remained 75 degrees and humidity was 70%. I also covered the soil over the germinating seeds with mason jars to act as humidity domes. Day 4 - Both pots sprouted this morning. I immediately removed the mason jar humidity domes. I also increased the light to 70% strength and installed the Blumat watering system to help me keep things growing while I'm gone.

Noticed some slight Nitrogen deficiency so I removed 20l of the tank and added 20l with Yara Kristalon Blue 19-6-20 + Calcinit A+B and it seemed to do the trick. Went low on ORP this week. Saw slight tip burn so I'll lower EC next week seems that ~2000 is the sweet spot. Did some defoliation as usual whenever needed, never noticed any stunting in any timelapse, also did a little lolipoping. This one is going to be a big one for sure, really happy.

Im very happy with the progress so far. One of my better vegetative periods thats for sure. I removed my scrog as it was annoying to work with I did only water 1 time this week. Gave them around 1,2 liters each. Some a little less. PH 6, nutrients solution strenght is at 100% and they seem to be loving it. No signs of defficiencies to my knowledge. My grow tent is a little hot peaking at 30 celcius with a average around 29 at day and 18-22 celcius at night. Humidity is around 35 as well. My humidifier broke. I have fixed it and using it for my lemon tree and my vegetables that i got growing as well The smell is heaven like when i open the tent and some of them have the smell i am looking for so im really excited.

Eccoci ragazzi pronti per farvi vedere una buiva settimana! La ragazza nel. Giro di 7 giorni ha raddoppiato il. Volume! Oggi ho cambiato l. Acqua dopo 20 giorni, ora farò fare al max altri 10 di vegetativa e spero mandare in fioritura, spero davvero che la sorella in questo poco tempo cresca abbastanza da poterla mandare a fiorire assieme, se no sarò costretto ridurre le ore di luce, ma cmq ad aspettare.. Speriamo che proceda tutto come deve andare, per ora ho fatto topping 4 volte vediamo se in un prossimo futurosato costretto a farlo di nuovo per tenerla più bassa possibile rispetto all altra... Ok continuate a seguirmi spero vi piaccia il mio nuovo progetto e ci vediamo alla prossima settimana! Un buon 420 a tutti! 🌱🌿🍀🤞🙏💪😸❤️
