01/19/2022 Stretch is starting, watering till 5-10% Runoff. I will be giving some molasses 2 tbls to 2 gallons water to feed the microbial life in my soil. This should help nutrient uptake from roots, feeding her flowers with microbial chelated nutrients. Changing to 12-12 tomorrow at lights on. Which will continue through flowering week 8, week 9- harvest will go to 11-13 for the fantastic finish! Getting rid of the dark green male he is not adjusting to drought (lack of water) as well as lighter green male. Lighter green can go twice as long without water with no sign at wilting

Start of flowering week 1. This girl is already bigger then her round 1 sister and she's starting to stretch after just a few days of 12/12 light. The only nutrient difference this grow, will be the addition of sensizym, hopefully it helps pack on a few more grams per plant.

Dear reader, I think I will be harvesting this lady by the end of this week. It is hard to determine as it seems like she is still developing and growing new pistils. Unfortunately she has had one cola with a little bit of bud rot. I instantly cut it after seeing and learning about it. The rest seems to be fine but I will use a dehumidifier in the future for other plants. Also when drying her. The RH was too high all the time (67%)

The grow was super easy, rapid growth and incredible strength, no deficiencies..fed 3/4 strength General Hydroponics nutrient line. Ended up topping her two times on multiple branches, giving her a total of 11 tops. Overall medium height with an amazing manifold and thick stem. Harvested on day 62, with a 10 day flush and no darkening stage. An absolutely great strong structure being able to hold it's weight of 132 Grams⚖️️. Right up until harvest day when I went to move her she finally bent but never broke or snapped 💯. Will be in my constant rotation. Recommended completely 💯👏🍍 🔥

2/14: Decreased distance between the lights and canopy. Let the maximum swell commence! 2/16: Fed today..increased sugars/carbs. This was probably the last feeding with Beastie Bloomz..switching to Cha Ching at next feed and cutting back on the One.

Creciendo bastante bien Talvez yo no sé cómo hacer el lst pero está aguantando bastante bien está nena En un semana creció bastante!!! Estoy contento Me está aguantando Ok Sábado No sé si el lst ayuda al crecimiento pero siento que va a avanzando mucho... No tengo ni idea de que estoy haciendo ni estaba preparado para hacer amarres Ni tengo idea de cómo lo voy a hacer... Pero realmente quería experimentar ya que veo que todos lo hacen aún que me da miedo romper la planta o estresar la y tampoco se que cortar!!! 😔

Blütewoche 2 Die beiden Pflanzen zeigen keine Anzeichen von Mängeln oder sonstigen Problemen. So solls weitergehen. Pheno Nr.2 hängt weiter ein Paar Tage hinterher, macht sich dafür aber sehr gut.

Hey there, green warriors and cannabis enthusiasts! 🌱✨ We’ve made it to week 10 of flowering with our incredible Runtz F1, and the anticipation is at an all-time high. This week has been all about those final touches—letting the plants reach their absolute peak before the big harvest. The Runtz F1 has truly outdone herself, and now she’s just about ready to show us everything she’s got. Let’s dive into what’s been happening during this critical final week of flowering. Week 10 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟 This final week of flowering has been a masterpiece in slow, steady ripening. Here’s what’s been happening with our star plant: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds have reached their maximum size and density, with each cola a solid mass of sticky, resin-coated goodness. The trichomes are so thick that they give the buds a frosty, almost white appearance, making them look like they’re covered in a blanket of snow. The compact nature of the Runtz F1 has resulted in some of the most beautiful buds we’ve seen this grow. • Trichome Maturity 🔬✨: • This week, the trichomes have matured beautifully, with a perfect blend of milky and amber colors. The ratio has tipped slightly more toward amber, indicating that the cannabinoids are fully developed and the plant is ready to deliver a potent, well-rounded high. This balance ensures that the effects will be both uplifting and deeply relaxing—exactly what we’re looking for in this strain. • Aroma and Terpene Profile 🌿🌸: • The aroma in the grow room has hit its peak, filling the space with an intoxicating blend of sweet, fruity, and gassy notes. The terpene profile is fully expressed, promising a flavorful smoke that’s as complex as it is enjoyable. This final week has really brought out the best in the Runtz F1’s aroma, making it clear that we’re in for a treat once these buds are cured. Final Preparations Before Harvest 🌾✂️ With the buds fully matured, this week has been all about the final touches to ensure everything is just right for the upcoming harvest: • Continued Flushing 🚰: • We continued with the flush, ensuring that any remaining nutrients were cleared out, leaving behind clean, pure buds. The plants have responded beautifully, with the fan leaves fading as the buds take on their final form. This step is crucial to ensure that the smoke is smooth and the flavors are pure, free from any lingering harshness. • Environmental Control 📊: • Maintaining a stable environment has been key this week. We’ve kept a close eye on temperature and humidity, making sure everything stayed within optimal ranges to prevent any last-minute issues like mold or mildew. The plants have been in a perfectly balanced environment, allowing them to finish strong. Anticipation for Harvest 🌱💚 As we reach the end of week 10, the Runtz F1 is in the best possible position for harvest. The buds are bursting with potency, the aroma is at its peak, and the trichomes are telling us it’s time. However, we’re holding off just a bit longer, making sure that every aspect of the plant is fully ready before we take the final step. The excitement is real, and the anticipation is almost overwhelming. We’re just days away from harvest, and everything is set for an incredible finish. The Runtz F1 has been a dream to grow, and we can’t wait to see what the final product will bring. Stay tuned for the harvest report, where we’ll take you through the final steps and celebrate the culmination of this amazing journey! 🌟💚 #RuntzF1 #Week10Flower #CannabisCommunity #GrowStrong #FinalTouches #StayPositive #GreenMagic

Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]

👉 This is the first staggered harvest I have done. The highest parts of the plant were definitely ahead of each lower level of flowers. So it made sense to give this a try. Also, there were so many sugar leaves in the flowers I knew I was facing some major trim time. So I started at the highest branch of colas and that was the main stem…what I call the Queen cola, on April 4. I was also very busy with work and life so I spaced out each successive branch by a day or two…or so. To harvest I would cut each major branch from the top down. There would be one major cola ( and best specimen) on each branch. That cola was trimmed so it was still on its stem and then weighed. I recorded the weight of the cola then assigned it a letter, put on a clothes pin, then hung on a rack. I would weigh the cola over a couple of days till it had loss 75% of it wet weight. I would cut from the stem for the final weight, then place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor the jars and if they were above 62% I would take off the jar lid, then replace when humidity was back down. When stable I put a humidity pack in some of the jars, but not all, just to see if I can observe a difference after the cure. 👉 My last trim penance was served on May 1. Almost a full month. The first cola harvested is already being tested. I did a close trim and removed as many sugar leaves as possible. I think I spent over 10 hours in total. So glad I chose to stagger the job. I trimmed any frosty sugar leaves over a trim tray with a screen for a bottom. I also scissored a bunch of the larf buds into small bits to add to the trim. I made a nice small wafer of just trichomes with no plant matter. Very nice, sweet stuff. I’m letting the large pile of trimmed sugar leaves dry out till crispy and will hand grind them over that screen and press the kief produced into pucks. It’s green and has lots of plant material with it…but its still sweet, and a very nice topper to a bong or joint. 👉 There were a lot of nice buds of what I call secondary flowers. Those were on secondary branch ends mostly. These buds were placed on a dry net. After 24hrs, I placed them in a paper bag. When they had lost 75% of their wet weight they were put into a jar with a hydrometer. Almost everything that wasn’t a branch end flower was put in the larf bin. Lots of larf. I didn’t weight any of it dry and just the wet weight from a couple of branches. I plan on making bubble hash and extracts (oil and tincture) with the larf. Of course planning and doing are two separate issues. I have acquired all the proper gear and done lots of research. I am also experimenting with the drying environment. In the past I was using a direct fan to oscillate directly on the buds for 24 hrs. At 24hrs the buds were put in bags and also kept them in direct wind. After a couple of branch sets I decided to stop oscillating the fan and make the breeze indirect. I still put the buds in bags after 24 hrs and kept the wind indirect. It took a few days to get to 25% doing it this way, as opposed to 2 days in bags with direct wind. The slower is supposed to be better, but risks moldy buds. I’m not doing everything the same way so I’m curious to see if there are perceptible differences in jar aroma and taste. To further complicate things to eye-roll status, The staggered harvest should have improved the lower level of flowers to the same ripeness. I can honestly tell buds from the same plants taken at different levels. The lower ones are noticeably weaker. I won’t start testing to see if there is improvement till the flowers are at least 4 months cured.

This week since Monday most of the pistils (little hairs) have turned from white to brown and orange. I continue to remove leaves that are obstructing the flowers. When I look through the magnifying glass the trichomes are some 60% clear, 40% cloudy, 0% amber. The goal is to harvest with these values in the trichomes: 0% clear 90% cloudy 10% amber

I’m noticing a lot more trich’s has the bud sites start to gain a lot weight to them. I’m adding Liquid KoolBloom to my nutes to help add some extra weight starting next feed. Keep it cloudy gang‼️🤟🏾

This strain had to suffer a little bit at the end of the cycle due to a fungus gnats issue but she managed great, her buds are really citrussy and dense and she has grown at a very fast pace in her vegetative stage. I really hope you guys enjoyed, this lady has been grown with kush FLO (Living soil blend) and water.

08.05. Week 1 Flower. Sadly I did not take any pics with my DSLR, so there are only the timelapse images. Not to worry as not too much happened either way. I'm still pretty screwed by the humidity but the dehumidifier starts to do it's job. VPD around 0.7 kPa. I also did some heavy defolitation for the start of flower and installed a trellis net.

En la 4ta semana aumentamos la dosis del fertilizante para crecimiento, regulamos su p.h en 6.0 e hicimos una poda apical en el 4to nodo de cada una de las plantas.
