Germination Report: Runtz vs. Runtz ๐ŸŒฟโœจ Hey there, green thumbs and cannabis enthusiasts! ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒŸ 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! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’ซ The Germination Journey ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿš€ 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 ๐Ÿ’ง: 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! ๐ŸŒŸ Transition to Soil ๐ŸŒฟ: 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 ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Runtz is a legendary strain, celebrated for its powerful genetics and exceptional traits. Let's dive into what makes Runtz so special: Parentage ๐ŸŒฟ: 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 ๐Ÿญ: 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 ๐ŸŒˆ: 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 ๐ŸŒฟโœจ As our Runtz plants grow, here are a few things to watch for: Vigorous Growth ๐Ÿš€: 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 ๐Ÿ’Ž: 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 ๐ŸŒฑ: 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 ๐ŸŒฟโค๏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.

Lights were 80% until this week. Now at 100% for flower. The plants have exploded in growth. One more stretchy than the other. Iโ€™m struggling to keep the tent cooler than 80 degrees.

Sheโ€™s cruising through late flower now with strong stacking, steady trichome development, and some beautiful natural fading. The canopy stayed balanced and open this week โ€” no new LST applied, but I did remove a few large fan leaves (3โ€“4) to improve airflow and reduce the risk of moisture buildup. Buds are visibly frosting up across all sites, and Iโ€™m starting to see early signs of purpling on some of the upper fans, which matches what Iโ€™ve seen in the breeder photos. Lower fan leaves are beginning to fade and crisp at the edges โ€” normal end-of-life senescence, nothing widespread or concerning. I continued alternating feedings: watered with Big Bud (5 ml/gal) mid-week, then gave Cal-Mag (1 ml/gal) on Day 63 along with a refill of the auto-watering base. Temps ranged between 86โ€“88ยฐF with humidity steady around 39โ€“42%, which seems to be keeping everything dry, resin-rich, and stress-free. Week 10 starts tomorrow โ€” Iโ€™ll begin checking trichomes more closely and start prepping for flush and harvest. Still smelling sweet and staying strong!

********* Week 7 - January 20 to 26, 2020 (Days 43 to 49 from seed popping) She is taking shape more this week by getting taller colas and thinning out between nodes.......oh yeah, and fattening of buds๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜Ž It was also not without learning though and thats what is so cool about growing this plant.......you always seem to leave a grow feeling like you could do even better next time and therefore challenging yourself to do better......and have bowl while doing it๐Ÿ˜‚ Her nodes are getting taller and giving herself room for packing on weighty buds๐Ÿ‘ If left to one cola should be a fatty!!! But then I would be freaking about potential bud-rot....so I am cool with it. Since LST though it will be interesting to see how well she fills in six๐Ÿ˜ณ She has the makings of being a good producer......its up to the grower to now to keep her happy๐Ÿ˜ฌ and see if she packs on the weight with roughly three more full weeks to go?? Missed opportunities in CalMag showing.๐Ÿ˜ฐ Left a lot of leaves and two branches that should have removed. Potassium excess contributed to by grower learning Terpinator and Massive.๐Ÿ˜ฐ Main stem should have been a little lower......further opportunity to improve๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช Got a little crazy with the PPM and felt I knew more than the nutrient company and went above the recommended max by roughly 30%๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜ญ Yeah.......dummy! My defence.....1300 isnโ€™t too high for Advanced Nutrients in late flower๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Anyway, I screwed up and saw tip burn in week 7. Gave a quick little flush with RO water and Sensyzime to clean up the roots of the salts. Didnโ€™t get crazy though because it was just the top leaves burnt. Been building the medium up to this point so donโ€™t want to wash it all away just yet. She seemed to react well and nodes standing up and didnโ€™t show much outwardly as signs of overwatering๐Ÿ˜ฌ Reviewing some of the photos this week I have seen the first small parts of a few hairs drying and turning colour.......no full hairs and not on every bud but enough to say they are first ones.......three more weeks?? Curious.....time will tell.....seen Jan 26, day 49. (49 + 21 = 70.......makes sense.) Feed will stop next week.....by end of my week 8. In the week a head there will be the last push to get her medium in as good a shape as my skills will warrant. I want to get a good 10 + days of flush to see her in the beauty of senescence and how she matures. Run-off has been reasonable so will keep fingers crossed ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿคž Little more detail.... Jan 20/20 - Day 43 - Drinking lots right now, close to 4L per day, so 2L plain water only in AM. 6.2pH,. - Feed in PM was light as well. Sensyzime @ 2ml and LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml only. 2L given with 75ppm. 5.9pH - She was given a good feeding yesterday. - Buds sites looking taller. Jan 21/20 - Day 44 - AM - 3L with Dual Fual A&B @ 1.5ml/L. 725ppm and 5.9pH. - PM hit her again - full feeding minus Rhino Skin, Sensyzime and Vitrathrive and VeloKelp. 2.5L 1000ppm and 5.9pH. - Runoff - 950ppm and 5.6pH. - top leaves were droopy so the extra feeding in the evening. Jan 22/20 - Day 45 - Backing off quantity a bit and down to 3L feed in PM. - Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm - Very perky today....standing up all the way down the plant. Liked the feed yesterday. ******this was likely the mistake feed looking back********left the ppm too high and should have added in RO water to bring down around 1000ppm! At least it seems traceable and will go with that๐Ÿ˜€ Jan 23/20 - Day 46 - Supplemental feeding only today. Happy so don't rock the boat :) - Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 80ppm 6.1pH - 2L only today.....still some weight to the pot Jan 24/20 - Day 47 - 2L feed: Massive @ 2ml, DF & LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 925ppm 6.2pH - Nute burn on Green Poison but Zkittlez seems fine and she is fine. Maybe a slight lightening on a few tips.... - happy and praying in the evening. Jan 25/20 - Day 48 - 4L of full strength feeding for this week. - ppm for that was 1275 so watered down to 1100ppm.....only need 1ml of base nutes at full strength to hit roughly 1,000ppm. - Runoff: 900ppm & 6.05pH....happy with that. - she is 28โ€ x 28โ€ now - Her cola growth was strong, taller for each of the 6 She is in fattening modeโ€ฆ.feed her ๐Ÿ˜€ Jan 26/20 - Day 49 - So no surprise when you push a girl you find her limit. Tips burnt this morning.๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜” - 6L plain RO water pH to 6.2 - Followed right away with 2L RO water with Sensyzime @ 2ml/L. - Runoff: 465ppm. - She responded very well to this and all tips were up still in the evening.....no over watering signs. - Removed about 15 fan leaves and 4 lower bud sites. - guessing only another 1.5 weeks of feeding. - not falling to sleep an hour before lights out anymore either๐Ÿ˜€ Happy growing fellow enthusiasts and thanks for the time to read๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ (scrolling back through diary to update........damn.......that is a lot of bottles during these weeks!! There is an upside to organics๐Ÿ˜„)

Week 8 Flower My favourite part; Flush flush flusshhhhh ๐Ÿšฝ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’ฆ This is the time where you will see the most swelling and ripening of the buds, and also it's winter colours in its leaves and possibly even flowers (strain dependent) as the plant cannibalizes itself of all of its stored nutrients. Many strains will fade into a bright yellow, but a lot of strains can turn to many stunning colours such as purple, orange, red or even black! Purpling can also occur on your flowers throughout flush, which only adds to it's bag appeal! I believe it's extremely important to include a flush period at the end of each cycle. I don't necessarily mean you have to flush copious amounts of water through them like I do, but the end goal is to have a cannibalised plant before harvesting, regardless of your system, methods or medium. Having a proper flush is what gives you the clean burning, smooth smoke in the end. If many nutrients are left in the flowers, it can create a hard black ash that can spark as you toke ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜ท and would be quite toxic for you to smoke. I start by pouring just enough water through the pot to get a decent run off in the catch tray below. I then take a note of the ppm/EC and pH of that run off to see how she's doing, and then adjust the pH of the rest of the water to be flushed if required. This girl's run off was a little high, at approx 6.2-6.5pH so I adjusted the rest of the flush water to around 5.5-5.6pH. This should bring it back down a bit more, although it doesn't really matter so much later in flush as she's only feeding on herself anyway, not what is in her pot. Once adjusted, I pour around 30ltr through her pot to reduce the salt contents in the coco. I then take another reading of her last bit of run off in the catch tray and make a note. I find that flushing a large amount of water through the coco speeds up the process because it has taken away many more nutrients from the coco than with not doing so. This gives the plant no choice but to instantly start to cannabilize on the only nutrients available; it's own. Once they're fading fast I'll simply feed them enough for a decent run off as I know there's nothing left in the coco. The amount of buds on this girl is absolutely insane! She's a monster! She's swelling up but still getting taller, with her tallest cola almost touching the reflector now. I'm definitely glad I supported her! I'm going for a 3+ week flush as I can't take her any further with plants in veg waiting for spaces, so hopefully she'll ripen up! Thanks for following and happy growing! ๐ŸฆŠ

The plants seem to be responding well with once a day watering instead of two for now. D2 Plants are looking good. Little bit of yellowing on new growth. Watering every other day. Pots have been feeling heavy for daily watering. D6 Pots are drying out quicker. Might have to start watering daily. D7 Ran out of Stackswell, using soft water with Veg+Bloom and Athena Cleanse. Watering and feeding once a day 1 hour after lights on. PPFD 300.

She's chugging along this week. A few more tirchomes on show and the buds have swelled noticeably. Had to add some scaffolding to support some stems.... On she goes........

Took this plant down the next day after the Sex Melon, so there was no change in anything worth noting.
