Zamnesia Eternity Cup - Grow Diary: Runtz
Welcome to my grow diary for the Zamnesia Eternity Cup! I'm thrilled to participate with one of the most iconic strains: Runtz. This journal documents every step of my journey, showcasing the resilience and beauty of this cultivar. Let’s dive into the details!
Day 0: The Beginning
I kicked off the grow with the tried-and-true glass of water method. It’s always exciting to see those first signs of life, and the Runtz beans didn’t disappoint! They popped quickly, displaying their eagerness to grow strong and healthy. 🌱
Day 3: Seedlings Emerge
Despite the temperature hovering at the lower end of the ideal range (21–22°C), these beans didn’t mind at all. They sprouted into wonderful little seedlings, full of potential and promise. Their vigor is already shining through!
Day 6: Overcoming Challenges
All three seedlings emerged with their seed coats still attached. A small challenge, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Using a pair of sterilized tweezers, I gently removed the seed husks two days after they poked their heads out of the soil. The result? Instant transformation! As soon as the husks were gone, the cotyledons opened up like little green suns, soaking in the light and energy. 🌞
Day 16: End of Germination
After 14 days, I transplanted the seedlings into 7-liter pots to see how well the young plants would respond to the new environment. I’m happy to report that all three seedlings took the transplant like champions! 🌱💪
By the 16th day, the second set of true leaves had formed, marking the end of the germination phase for me. Now it’s time for the final selection—space limits me to only one plant.
Here’s the current status:
Two plants are neck and neck, showing very similar growth patterns.
One plant is pushing ahead with slightly faster growth but has a yellowish top. However, this doesn’t seem to slow it down.
All three seedlings have vibrant green stems and look incredibly healthy. So far, this batch shows the least phenotypic diversity I’ve ever encountered, which makes the decision even harder. In the next update, I’ll reveal which plant makes the cut to continue this journey.
Why I’m Hyped
Runtz is known for its incredible flavor profile, high THC content, and stunning visual appeal. I’m determined to push this strain to its limits and showcase its full potential in this competition. With the right care and attention, I’m confident these seedlings will grow into showstoppers.
What’s Next?
Stay tuned as I document every milestone, from early veg to harvest. I’ll share photos, observations, and tips as I go along, all while keeping my eyes on the prize—the Eternity Cup!
Let’s grow greatness together. 💪🌱✨
