Hello again, green warriors and cannabis aficionados! 🌱✨ We’ve now reached week 5 of flowering in our Runtz Battle, and the excitement is at an all-time high! The plants are deep into their flowering phase, and the results are beginning to show in the form of thick, resin-coated buds. Let’s dive into this week’s progress and explore what’s been happening. Week 5 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟 The Runtz strains continue to impress as they head into the final stretch of flowering. Here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds have significantly bulked up this week, with trichome production reaching new heights. The plants are covered in a frosty layer of resin, indicating that we’re on track for a potent and flavorful harvest. The F1 strain remains a standout with its compact and dense bud structure, showing off some serious bag appeal already. • Terpene Profile 🌿✨: • The aroma in the grow room is intensifying, with the distinct sweet, fruity, and slightly earthy notes of the Runtz strains becoming more pronounced. This rich terpene profile is a hallmark of the Runtz genetics, and it’s a good sign that the final product will be bursting with flavor. • Environmental Consistency 🌡️: • We’re keeping the environment steady with a room temperature of 30.3°C, water temperature at 18°C, and humidity at 51%. These conditions are perfect for continuing the flowering process and ensuring the buds develop fully and healthily. Defoliation Impact 🌿✂️ Last week’s deep defoliation continues to pay off: • Light Penetration and Bud Growth 🌞🌸: • The defoliation has allowed more light to reach the lower bud sites, and the impact is clear. These buds are now catching up in size and density, ensuring an even distribution of growth across the entire plant. The plants are responding beautifully, with all buds swelling and maturing at a consistent rate. • Air Circulation and Health 🌬️: • The increased airflow has kept the plants healthy, preventing any issues with mold or mildew as the buds become denser. This is crucial in the later stages of flowering when moisture can become a concern. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 Our nutrient and care routine continues to support the plants as they push toward full maturity: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • The Autopots are still providing consistent hydration, and we’re maintaining the Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The soil, enriched with organic inputs, is doing an excellent job of supplying all the necessary nutrients. The plants are showing no signs of deficiencies, and their vibrant green color is a testament to their health. • Lighting and Environmental Control 🌡️: • The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro is continuing to deliver powerful, full-spectrum light, which is crucial at this stage for maximizing bud development and resin production. • The TrolMaster Hydro-X controller is keeping the environment perfectly balanced, ensuring that the plants are stress-free and focused on producing the best buds possible. The Road Ahead 🌟🌿 As we move into the final weeks of flowering, the anticipation is building. The Runtz strains are looking and smelling incredible, with dense buds covered in sparkling trichomes. The next few weeks will be crucial as the plants finish maturing, and we start preparing for the harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the finish line. The end is in sight, and we’re almost ready to reap the rewards of this epic Runtz Battle! 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week5Flower #CannabisCommunity #BudDevelopment #TrichomesOnFleek #GreenMagic #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX #GrowStrong #StayPositive Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #RuntzBattle #KannabiaVsZamnesia #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️ link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚
