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. Understanding Runtz Genetics 🌸🔥 Runtz is a legendary strain, celebrated for its powerful genetics and exceptional traits. Let's dive into what makes Runtz so special: Parentage 🌿: Runtz is the love child of two powerhouse strains: Gelato and Zkittlez.

The aroma is equally enchanting, filling your space with a tropical, sugary scent that's hard to resist. Effects 🌈: 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 🌿✨ As our Runtz plants grow, here are a few things to watch for: Vigorous Growth 🚀: 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!

En esta semana mantendré todavía los Led por 24 horas al día, el EC lo tendré a 2,5, el PH tratare de mejorarlo, todavía lo tengo a 6,3 mas o menos. Las plantitas están creciendo bien, ya se ven las puntas de las raíces saliendo del substrato y tocando el agua. Para el fin de semana próximo cambiaré la solucion nutritiva y bajaré el nivel del agua. Decidí también poner un generador de CO2 casero(bidón con agua, levadura, azúcar y pulpa de tomates) consejo de mis amigos de zamnesia. En la semana nos iremos actualizando.

This past week was a busy one. Put a lot of work into the grow space and prepping them to switch. Moved over to the 5x5 tent and set up the netting. Went through a lot of defoliating spread out through the week to make sure it went as stress free for the plants as possible and then lollipopped the plant before changing over to Flower (remember this is my first time growing so didn’t want to overdue it). Me and the girl spent some time and Cleaned out the tent completely and finally got around to cleaning up some of the wiring throughout. I flushed all the plants with RO water (only pH) and then 3 days later i mixed in and topped all pots with fresh soil mix (FFOH, worm castings, and perlite). Drained and cleaned all pots and the tank, added in new water with a mix of cal mag, big grow, and tiger bloom (half amounts of everything) with PPM just over 1000. Switched over to flower just before this post so fingers crossed and hoping the next few weeks go smooth 🤞🏽 **Side Note** - Got a steal on some tents/lighting so decided to get things setup for my next grow. Got a handful of seeds I’ve had my eyes on and getting ready to order some more equipment and even a Centurion Hybrid Trimmer. So be on the lookout for my future grows!

So as you can see my girls suffered a bit in week 3 but are on the mend. I've continued to LST them tying down the new growth sites and either tucking or removing the fan leaves to allow light to penetrate to the new growth sites I'm going to veg for 2/3 more weeks then flip them Just did a complete water change and stripped down the whole system to clean the water pipes air pipes and air stones. After visiting my local hydroponics shop they recommended a organic ph up and down which I thought sounded good less chemicals in my grow what's not to like about that. However once I had used them I quickly realised they had issues I was constantly checking and adjusting my ph levels as they would drop to 5.3 and over the course of a few hours would rise to 7.4 upon checking my water pump I found my filters where completely blocked so I flushed them and put them back in and it seemed to work fine until the next day when I checked again and yet again they where blocked. I think they had reacted with my other nutrients and caused a brown funky sludge. I have scrubbed each bucket and reservoir to get rid of the gunk then used disinfect on all the equipment and the grow room. I've uploaded a video so you can see the condition my girls where living in. Hope this helps anyone in their future grows

She is starting to come together finally. Ive never seen a plant like this one. But, I love an underdog. She is getting some nice trichome production already, which is always good. Taking a full dose of nutes and loving it. So far so good. I am loving 420 Fast buds!!!

This week marks the very beginning of the Purple Punch run. The seeds successfully germinated and transitioned into their starter plugs, showing healthy early development. ⸻ 🌱 Germination Progress • Seeds sprouted quickly and evenly. • The first cotyledons opened clean without deformities. • Early stem structure looks stable, showing no stretching — lighting distance is well balanced. Day breakdown: • Day 2: Sprout breaking the surface. • Day 3: Cotyledons fully open, first tiny true leaves forming. • Day 4: Seedling transferred to its substrate, standing upright with good color. ⸻ 💧 Watering • Only minimal watering around the root zone. • Humidity dome kept moisture high to avoid drying of the plugs. • No nutrients added yet — seedlings rely fully on internal energy reserves. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Temperature: ~24–25°C • Humidity: 70–80% for strong root initiation • Gentle airflow to prevent damping-off while keeping the young stems stable.

Day 8 - They were reaching for light so I raised them up. Day 10 - Transplanted into 3 gallon pots with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend. Day 12 - I put them outside all day to get some sunshine. Day 13 - Back in the tent due to cold weather.

Been fighting higher humidity lately during lights off. Other than that environment is in check. I am watering every other day most of the week. I am finding fade on the lower leaves which could be to lack of nitrogen but nothing to worry about as the plants are budding fine. I decided to drop cal-mag this week to try and end up at 1 ml per gallon for the last month. I will keep a close eye for mag deficiency. The stretch is about done by the end of this week.

Another good week inside the tent. The girls have kicked into flower, and are throwing out an absolutely gobsmacking amount of pistils at current. Also, leaves are starting to get a little dusting of frost. Very good signs this early. Timelapse is out and updates will be posted as things happen. Keep eyes peeled for some EOS rebel shots this week. -10/15- Eos Rebel shots are out, showcasing the huge masses of white pistils at each budsite.

Ende BW 3 sind wir nun. Die Blätter sind etwas matt und die hatte Lichtbrand, davon hat sie sich jetzt aber erholt und fängt an schöne Blüten zu bilden. Es gab noch etwas zusätzlichen Blütendünger von Wizzy's Garten aufs Substrat, sie wurde ordentlich entlaubt und lollipoped und jetzt kann es weitergehen.
