Welcome to my new diary! I'll be chronicling my experience growing Runtz photoperiod by Zamnesia. This is actually a grow I just finished, but I'm excited to share the journey with you now. As always I'll grow in a DWC system, this time in a 2x2 grow tent. To manage the environment, I'm using a Vents TT100 for air extraction and an Hailea air pump to keep the 20-liter DWC pot well-oxygenated. That 20-liter capacity should be enough to let the plant cruise for a few days without needing a refill, even when it's deep into the flowering stage. Lighting will be provided by a 150 watt lamp, which I'll run on an 18/6 schedule during veg and switch to 12/12 for flowering. As for nutrients, I'll be using the Plagron hydro line. To keep a really close eye on all the critical parameters like temperature, RH, CO2, PH, and PPFD, I'm relying on my Tent-X system by TrolMaster. It's a fantastic piece of kit that allows me to control and dim the light remotely, also includes a smoke detector. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 GROW JOURNAL 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 🗓️ WEEK 1 (veg) 🔙 Kicking things off, I prepared all the materials. The clay pebbles received a 20-minute boil followed by a 24-hour soak in demineralized water adjusted to pH 5.8. I gave the air stones a 24-hour bath in a water and vinegar solution, rinsing them thoroughly afterward. The root riot cube also soaked for a few hours in water at pH 5.8. 🌱 With preparations complete, I placed the seed into the root-riot cube on day 1, nestled it in the net-pot, and surrounded it with clay pebbles. The light was set to an 18/6 cycle, positioned 50 cm away, and running at 50 watts. I hand-watered the seedling with approximately 5 ml of demineralized water directly onto the clay twice daily, while the DWC reservoir below held 20 liters of a light nutrient solution: EC 0.6 - pH 5.8. On day 4, the seedling emerged and was exposed to the grow light for the first time. Concluding a successful first week, by day 7, it had already pushed several roots out of the net pot and down into the nutrient solution.

Hello This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. Things are doing good in here. The Dos Si Dos 33 and the Pink Kush have got "the stretch" going on now. Blackberry Moonrocks and Critical OG don't stretch that much. Starting to get a little smelly in here now. I'll trim up this week. Will be removing sucker branches and some fan leaves and opening up the middle and some top leaves to let the light get farther into the plant. OK. Be Cool Chuck.

One more week... I have improved the equipment used to make the Janes will thrive as it should be, and to make sure that the environment is solid as diamond. || I absolutely love this genetic. The aroma, the structure of the plant, structure of the flowers and the effects of the final product. I hope in future to look back to what I'm doing and cover any flaws and dive into a very nice pheno-hunt. 🌱 Genetics Breeder: Royal Queen Seeds Special Kush #1 Afghan x Kush Kush is to indica strains what Haze is to sativas. Much like Skunk, “Kush” is a term used to describe an entire lineage of cannabis plants. Today, the term Indica refers to a type of plant that is naturally found (indigenous) to the Indian region. Source: https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/138-special-kush-1.html 🌱 Vegetative Stage Method used: minimal intervention — I don’t touch the plant and simply let it thrive. The environment remains stable, especially in terms of temperature. I’ve learned that consistency is key: when conditions stay steady, the plant feels comfortable and grows stronger. I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing! 🎛️ Equipment MARS HYDRO for almost everything.

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop which had an improved and more potent THC content and was more pungent in terms of smell. Now the third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL which has a similar THC content but with an improved heavier yield. The smoke is incredible with an outstanding flavour of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its strong earthy scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odour. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain and the effect is well-balanced creating mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The strong pungent aroma starts early in the flowering period, if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse the stinky "road kill" aroma of these babies! Cheese XXL is a Cheese strain particularly suited to indoor setups but also thriving well outdoors these feminised marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mould and disease and produce a substantial harvest that both the professional and amateur growers alike can easily achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding, break open the buds ready for use and you'll see why, the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency and flavour then Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice

Quebec Blast is doing well. She is showing first signs of flowering a week into light change. I adjusted nutrition more to her current demands, with a solution change today. Everything is going well, I don't expect a lot of stretching. I could be wrong. I am growing her under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light at 70 percent. She is in New Level Hydro 5 gallon bucket.

chopped on day 65 of flower 9,5 weeks flower total

All plants are finished and drying harvest pictures and weights next Sunday !!!! Happy Growing

I had so much fun learning how to grow, and how many different ways there are to grow! I love the community here!

Really fun grow. Wasn't sure what type of training I wanted to do, so it was nice to be creative day to day. Ended up using only LST. Lower branches stretched so much to make tall dense colas, like the turrets of a castle. No deficiencies or major problems. Recommended!

The buds are dense,fat & frosty 😋 Some purple color😈 Trichomes 10-20% amber🔬 The smell is DIVINE! Cookie & eucalyptus🍪❄️Super fresh👌

After defoliation everything runs calm and fats up ;) Now i even hate that girl with leafs. Other girls i can put a lot tighter and under more intence light ... Her lower buds look like air and her leafs are in the way of everybody ;))) we shall see final weight... Think thats the last week of feed. Only ph water after for couple more ... Smells realy fantastic !! P.s. its just hard not to show that other fathers 9th sister ;))) Choco Lopez Auto - my new love ;) P.s.2 some night shots. Stoped CalMag already. I see some milky , so its time to plan flush soon. P.s. 3 have two dominant girls. Both will be fun to weight. Gave all girls first breeze of autumn. During one night only 15 cel. Only two girls will have last feeding and flush will start from day 50. Days will be shorted to 11 hours.

Think these will be done by end of week 8 possibly, adding UV + IR for terpes and pushing for an earlier finish! 🍋

Week 8 Growing gradually, healthy. All plants are enlarging; forming structures with lot of branches. Just a difference around 5/10 cm height between the 4 strains. The biggest at this point are the Break pad Breath and the Flash Back#2….the GMO x Zombie Kush is beautiful too. ?I’m questioning about a 2nd topping? Daylight 15h43 : 6h13/22h Bad weather conditions during June: rainy, cold, poor luminosity, with just a few sunny days. The greenhouse is a good solution this days: less humidity with ventilation. Plants are daily controlled for Pests or diseases . Sprayed Neem oil 1 time - mix manure: horsetail (prêle), comfrey (consoude), fern (fougère), nettle (or tie) 1 time. I suspect the presence of “leaf miner flies” around. Low feeding: just roots stimulator and enzymes. I sprayed some fish mix 1 time on all plants.

Well…these ladies have me always guessing! TYPICAL! Lmfao also growing a newer strain so I’m glad to be a part of it all. They’re def chunking up and showing signs of massive purpling on just a single plant. The other 4 aren’t quite there. Let me tell you though, the shorter one DEF have a berry/gas smell compared to the taller more sativa-like plants which have such a peculiar bud structure. Either way both looking awesome and quite surprised as to how they bounced back and are chunking up quite nicely. I’ll be expecting to use my ripening dry kool bloom next few waterings then flush time for the yum time 🤤 💨

Well Week 11 was another easy going week no difficulties buds still swelling I'm thinking still 3 more weeks but she is moving along

Thing's are still going well, feeding is going well and they are eating at 2.2 e.c, plenty of food and boost in the solution with no burn, I may increase over recommended amount, had some weird stretching on two of the plants, not sure if something is wrong or just the genetics.. seen first video for example.. Ended up having a fair amount of stretching from the two Jaffa Cakes relative to the washing machine so I've out up the second support net but used it to further hold down the branches. They are drinking lots at the moment, fill recommended dose of A/B/B-52/BigBud, drinking a total of 5-6ltr per 48hrs, e.c coming on around 2.4 to 2.6 however plants seem to be absolutely loving life :)

Hey guys, it's been a great journey but I've finally hung my Stardawg out to dry! Yesterday was their last day totalling 8 weeks on flower. Realistically they could have benefited from a further week because the lower buds are somewhat underdeveloped but then I would risk losing the preferred sweet high smoke of the top buds. With this being my first attempt it's been a great learner not only for how to care for the plants but also the environment. As soon as these went into flower and started stretching I knew that putting 6 in a 2.4 x 1.2m tent was a bad idea. They just got so big which is the cause of the lower sites not being as good as the top colas. Despite that I'm really happy with the outcome and I'm hoping ive got 30oz+ of real good quality nugs. All of the top colas have turned a gorgeous violet colour too which you can see on the pictures and I absolutely love. For my next grow I've gone with 6 fastbuds strains which hopefully will go under a scrog. Check back next week for the harvest and weigh in!
