Germination Report: Runtz vs. Runtz ๐ฟโจ
Hey there, green thumbs and cannabis enthusiasts! ๐ฑ๐ 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! ๐๐ซ
The Germination Journey ๐ฑ๐
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 ๐ง:
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! ๐
Transition to Soil ๐ฟ:
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.
Understanding Runtz Genetics ๐ธ๐ฅ
Runtz is a legendary strain, celebrated for its powerful genetics and exceptional traits. Let's dive into what makes Runtz so special:
Parentage ๐ฟ:
Runtz is the love child of two powerhouse strains: Gelato and Zkittlez. This dynamic duo contributes to Runtz's unique flavor profile and potent effects.
Flavor and Aroma ๐ญ:
Expect a delightful explosion of sweet, fruity flavors with a hint of candy-like goodness. The aroma is equally enchanting, filling your space with a tropical, sugary scent that's hard to resist.
Effects ๐:
Runtz is known for its balanced high, offering both euphoria and relaxation. Perfect for those seeking a joyful, uplifting experience that melts into a soothing body calm.
What to Expect ๐ฟโจ
As our Runtz plants grow, here are a few things to watch for:
Vigorous Growth ๐:
Thanks to its robust genetics, Runtz is a strong grower. Expect rapid development, especially in the early stages. Keep an eye on those green shoots as they stretch toward the light!
Resin Production ๐:
Runtz is a resin powerhouse, producing dense, trichome-covered buds. This not only enhances its potency but also contributes to its striking appearance.
Balanced Structure ๐ฑ:
Look for a balanced structure with a mix of sturdy branches and lush foliage. This makes Runtz ideal for various growing techniques, whether you're a novice or a seasoned grower.
The Joy of Growing Runtz ๐ฟโค๏ธ
The journey of growing Runtz is as enjoyable as the end product. Each day brings new growth, surprises, and the satisfaction of nurturing such a phenomenal strain. Whether you're growing for personal use or to share with friends, Runtz is sure to impress with its vibrant traits and rewarding yield.

This week some of the plants are starting to show a few brown pistils on the calyxes as an indicator that peak bloom period is occurring. I donโt expect them to do much other than fill out a bit at this point with exception of some of the more Sativa phenotypes like the Tangerine Dream. One of the these seedplants failed to bloom properly it may lack the autoflowering genes. I don't want to risk damaging the roots in the system by culling it. I might leave it in to see what happens and transplant it before I clean out the system for the fall grow.
Iโm pretty satisfied with the autoflower grow so far but I do have some room for improvement:
1) Next grow I will use CNS17 Ripe possibly from start to finish to see if that improves the flowering of the plants. I feel that my feed is high in nitrates so I am starting to flush this week.
2) You can see by the plants all showed variation in physical appearance and Trichrome production. The only plant that has gone purple out of the batch and is a high yielding Gorilla Zittles from Barneys. If I grow autoflowers again in this system I want to choose plants that are a little more uniform. I think the Botanicare Turbo Garden and similar systems are best suited for clones as they grow a little more uniform. Autoflowers even from the same strain have a wide variation which is cool because every seed is a surprise.
3) I need an overhead plant support. I am not sure how the plants survived some pretty high winds. One stem broke and I repaired it enough so that the plant actually survived.
4) I'm working on a microcontroller sensor node to allow some automation to the system.
My favorite plants in this batch are the Dinafem Amnesia Auto CBD based only on aesthetics at this point.
The Blue Dream Auto from Humbolt is one of the smaller plants but it has quite a bit of resin on it. The smaller plants may have been stunted as my nute level from the beginning was approaching upper limits for leaf burn (1.7-1.8 EC). I had since backed down but over-fertilization in early stages is not reversible and comes at a cost of plant health and vigor.
I took a video to try and show the overall garden progress. I did not defoliate this grow which makes it hard to see the individual flower structure but I will have defoliated harvest photos coming up soon!

Didnโt expect the stretch to be so huge given the genetics. Like 10 cm in 3 days! Letโs see. Put in a dehumidifier, trying to reach optimal humidity of 60% for this stage.
02/01 The stretch is really strong. 75 cm by 02/01
04/01 I have been doing just minimal pruning/defoliation during the veg stage. I guess it was the reason why the stretch is so strong as the main colas try to reach the light. And there is a lot of weak side-shoots which make the plants really messy. Did some minor pruning today, because I donโt want to stress the plants much during early flowering. Iโm going to remove all the side-shoots in two weeks when the stretch is over.
Next time I should do more pruning early, before the flip.

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well.
I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months.
Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh.
Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp.
I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks.
Happy growing everyone!
August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz.
I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste.
I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud.
August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come.
August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

I have a clone army with no home.. I need a sponsor to help me out. My flower room is full and both my Mars Hydro SP lights are being used so i am stuck with an old blurple Mars eco 120..
I have 9 Pineapple express clones all doing well.
1 have 3 strawberry cough that were left in the sun and suffered but with a little love are on their way back.
There are 4 Purple urkle clones doing their thing
And finally i have 5 of my cross Sunset sherbet and chiquita banana.
Oh and the very sick looking top is my sunset sherbet that was growing in the garden until the cats murdered it. I doubt she will pull through, they may have pissed on it..
Need a sponsor please.. Lots of good pics will follow as i have a new DSLR now..
Come light companis, get in on this..โ๐๐

Anche se รจ due settimane indietro cmq i fiori si stanno sviluppando davvero molto bene! Cime che si stanno sviluppando molto bene e un sacco di resina che li ricopre, davvero una genetica che ha grandi potenzialitร ! Nn vedo l ora di vedere come si svilupperร nel prossimo futuro! Grazie ragazzi che mi state vicino e continuate a seguirmi un buon 420 a tutti voi! ๐ช๐ธ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐งโ๐พ๐๐ฝ๐จ๐ฅโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Hey there itโs been really cold lately itโs been hard to keep the humidity and temps at a decent range. A lot of the plants are showing stress from the environment.
The pound cake auto is doing pretty well it has gotten a lot larger. This morning I finally saw some small pre flower hairs coming from the main stem. Also the stems in the plant seem to be starting to stench. So 90% sure buy the end of the week the plant will really be showing signs of flowering. Well just saying itโs flowing now. From what I see online this strain takes along time to switch to flower compared to lots of auto flower strains. This would be a perfect strain if you wanted to main line

I used overdrive fertilizer again this week.
My God, girls get more beautiful like this.
The last weeks make me very happy.๐๐ท๐๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐
From now on, I will be very careful because the more I improve the conditions, the better results I get
Especially the temperature difference between night and day.

The plant has continued to stretch into this week and I don't think it's going to stretch anymore it looks like it's starting to build up their flowers.
The plant does not need a lot of nutrients in fact it's not one of those very hungry just a standard diet will be sufficient thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Flowers beautiful flowers! ๐บ to start of dynomyco has really done itโs job with the purple urkle and she already in bloom and is nearly to the second scrog, the grape ape has ONLY just started her stretch as sheโs right at the first scrog about to push through as she only just pushed pistols today and Iโm putting that down to her healing through transitioning as I had to trim her leaves and lower stems during transition as theyโd be a problem later on! But all in all a great week and on my way to a great flowering!
