Hey, cannabis enthusiasts and connoisseurs! 🌿🔥 The journey with our Runtz F1 has been nothing short of legendary, and now we’re at the stage that every grower eagerly awaits—the trim and smoke report. This Runtz F1 has delivered beyond expectations, and I can’t wait to share the details with you. Let’s dive in! The Trim Process 🌾✂️ The trimming process was an experience in itself, filled with care and attention to detail. Here’s how it all went down: • Breaking Down the Branches 🌿: • First, we carefully broke down the plant into manageable branches, making sure to preserve the integrity of each bud. The structure of the Runtz F1 made this easy, with its dense, compact colas ready for precision trimming. • Trim Bin Magic ✂️: • Using a Trim Bin, we meticulously trimmed away the sugar leaves, leaving behind only the most beautiful, resin-coated buds. The Trim Bin isn’t just a tool; it’s a game-changer, allowing us to catch every last bit of precious kief that falls during the process. This extra kief is like a bonus for those special moments when you want to add a little something extra to your smoke. • Preserving Terpenes with Grove Bags 🛍️: • Once trimmed, the buds were placed into Grove Bags for curing. These bags are revolutionary in the cannabis world, designed to lock in terpenes and keep your buds fresh for the long haul. Unlike traditional jars, Grove Bags use a special TerpLoc technology that creates a perfect microclimate within the bag, balancing out oxygen and moisture levels. This means your buds cure evenly without the need for burping, preserving that incredible citrus terpene profile we’ve come to love from the Runtz F1. The Legendary Smoke 🌬️🔥 Now, let’s talk about the smoke—because this is where the Runtz F1 truly shines. • Flavor Explosion 🍊🍋: • The moment you take your first inhale, you’re hit with a symphony of citrus flavors. It’s like walking through a citrus grove with the sun shining down—notes of oranges, tangerines, and lemons come through strong, each one distinct yet harmoniously blended. But the magic doesn’t stop there; an underlying hint of vanilla sneaks in on the exhale, rounding out the flavor with a creamy, smooth finish. It’s an experience that dances on your palate, leaving you craving more. • Aroma 🌿🌸: • The smell is just as captivating as the flavor. As soon as you open the Grove Bag, the room fills with that zesty citrus aroma, complemented by a subtle sweetness from the vanilla undertone. It’s the kind of smell that makes you pause and appreciate the craft that went into growing this plant. • The Effects 🌟: • The effects of the Runtz F1 are as balanced as its flavor profile. Expect an initial wave of uplifting energy—perfect for daytime use or when you need a creative boost. As the high settles in, it mellows into a relaxed, yet focused state. It’s the best of both worlds: energizing without being overwhelming, and calming without knocking you out. This makes it an ideal strain for those who want to stay productive while still enjoying a potent, flavorful smoke. Final Thoughts and Invitation 🎥✨ The Runtz F1 has proven itself to be a true connoisseur’s strain—a perfect blend of flavor, aroma, and effects that’s both complex and satisfying. This was a journey that showcased the importance of patience, precision, and care, from germination all the way to the final cure. If you want to dive deeper into the entire process, from the first week of veg to the final trim, I’ve documented it all on my YouTube channel. Join me there for a closer look at how this incredible strain came to life, and learn more about the tips and techniques I used to bring out the best in these plants. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey, from the community to the amazing brands like Gro Diaries, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Kannabia, and more. Your support and tools have been invaluable. Remember, the magic is in the details—so never stop learning, growing, and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Stay positive, stay curious, and keep spreading the love! 🌿💚 #RuntzF1 #LegendarySmoke #CannabisConnoisseur #GroveBags #TrimMagic #StayPositive #GreenMagic #YouTubeJourney 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 💚

The plant took off this week. I am relatively new so was working through getting my PH measuring/balancing down. Now that I have established a better method the plant responded well. Put in a scrog to help even the canopy for the future. The other plant I have running is a bubblegum autoflower that is a few weeks older (right). Personally I really loved the look of the gold leaf at this point, it had a very nice spiral look to it almost like an xmas wreath.

The buds are pretty airy.. Not dense at all. But still very happy with the outcome. Can't wait to have it all weighed out.. (Dry of course) The root ball was HUGE... I always have an issue with drying too quick (3 days) so, I'm hoping that the box with the computer fan will still move enough air to keep mold from growing.. But not too much to dry out too fast. Also, keeping it in an unused room that stays alot cooler than the rest of the house. Will update when dried and ready for jars! 50 hours of drying.. She still seems pretty moist.. At least.. That's what she said.. Lol.. Had to.. Anyways.. Yeah leaves are still pretty soft almost lively kinda still.. Not crispy.. Trying to make this dry super slow.. And NO hay smell so far.. That's a good thing.. I think.. As long as it still smells like dank.. Tired of drying my buds too quick or too much if I push for 4 days.. 3 days is not good enough.. Im pushing for at least.. AT LEAST 5 days drying and the buds still able to produce about 65% humidity, or so, on their own.. That is what has worked best for me.. Even if it dried in 3 days.. As long as I get the humidity right for curing it wont ruin the terpenes from what I have been experiencing.. Anybody got any other ideas? Lol cuz what I find on the net doesnt work for me.. I didnt wanna use a fan on this.. And im only using a very small weak computer fan that I rigged up to use even less power.. Just scared to dry this too quickor too much.. Thinking about turning the fan off for a little bit.. Maybe the rest of the day and night.. Ok.. So 6 hours after I turned the fan off.. Still reading 55% RH and 20.5C.. It shouldnt mold *crosses fingers* 74 hours drying.. The buds seem very very airy.. And it seems like its one of those types that look like alot but really weighs half of what it looks.. Maybe when I trim her up she'll look better.. Still a very fun and interesting learning experience! On to the next! Still going to update more!!! Probably tomorrow lol Its been a little over 100 hours of drying and the buds and leaves are feeling pretty crisp.. If I wait till the branches "snap" then it usually comes out too dry.. And so far jars 1 and 2 which are the popcorn buds is ready 70% after being in the jars for about 2 hours.. That is too wet still.. Just going to burp very frequently (3 or 4 times daily) and using a fan for a few minutes to help pull that moisture out and let her go right back into curing.. That's the best way I can get it to not smell like hay.. So far so good.. Still smells pretty dank. Some of the nugs are so linky it reminds me of Dr. Grinspoon's from Barney's Farm.. The calyxs are just spaced apart by stem.. Still looks pretty and smells great.. And smokes even better!.. Will update as I go... After about 24 hours in the jars.. The hygrometers are reading 70% - 75% so I left them out overnight to dry out a bit more.. Just put them back into the jars and will check on them when I get home from work tonight.. I'd much rather not dry enough.. Than over dry ANY DAY.. ifit was overdried, it would smell like hay.. But it still smells dank asf.. Plus.. This is just technically giving more time to dry before the cure.. I read that this is considered the "pre-cure phase"... Wish I would have read that before my last 3 - 4 harvests.. But I have learned it now.. So no more excuses for fuckin it up anymore lol.. https://www.cannabisprogrower.com/curing-cannabis/ That is the link to the way that I have started curing.. It seems to be working pretty well. This has details that I could not find anywhere else and basically had to try and figure out on my own... Then I came across this page.. This is the perfect method for curing in my opinion.. Works great for me! Its been in the jars for 6 days.. I now have the hygrometers reading 61% - 63%... According to that website.. I should stop burping daily.. That makes me a little nervous.. I will atleast open each jar daily to get a wiff of them lol.. They smell pretty good.. Not the best I've smelled.. But atleast I know I'm doing it right this time.. Geez.. The drying and curing is the most detailed part of growing.. My first time i thought you just dry it and throw it into the jars.. No matter how long or short of time it took lol.. My first grow was reading 49% after 3 days of drying.. With a fan!.. So glad I got it figured out finally! Made some Bubble Hash with the trim.. Havent weighed it.. But judging by the size (plus I used to be addicted to black tar heroin) it looks like it could be just about 2 grams.. I'll weigh it later.. Still haven't smoked any of it. I only used the 220 micron and 25 micron bags.. 220 to remove all the leafy substance and the 25 to catch all the trichomes.. Usually my bubble hash turns out very dry and breaks apart.. This stuff is super gooey.. Even after drying for 4 days.. Hmm... Smells amazing.. Wish I could smoke it.. I wonder if I could make capsules of this stuff.. And just take it like vitamins.. Lol.. If anybody has tried that or knows anything about it, comment please.. I'm curious A little after 2 weeks of curing.. The buds smell and taste pretty dank! I feel like I got the curing and drying down.. Yessss!

Day8: First day of the new week. I assume still pretty much focusing on roots, as the top didn't really do much today. Day9: Nothing special. But she's growing Day10: Still roots, it seems. Very little happening up top. Day11: Effort being put into growing the top leaves. They increased in size. I assume that the next node will start tomorrow - kicking off the switch into Veg. Day12: Next node already showing :D Day13: I put in a humidifier and changed the cycle of the extractor to keep more moisture in the growbox. My humidity was way too low. Day14: This time the humidity was too high. It was sitting at around 95% when the lights went on.

7 Blütewoche: So liebe Grow Gemeinde wir sind jetzt in der 7 Blütewoche angelangt. Leider musste ich bei 2 von 4 Pflanzen einen Mangan oder Magnesium Magel feststellen, 2 kann ich eigentlich schon fast ausschließen da ich mir Informationen eingeholt habe und diese dafür sprechen dass es ein Mangan Mangel ist der nicht oft bei Cannabis Pflanzen vorkommt. Leider ist mein Ph Messgerät kaputt, und somit kann ich denn ph wert leider nicht ermitteln. Somit weiß ich nicht ob eine Nährstoff Sperre vorliegt die dafür verantwortlich ist das meine beiden Ladys kurz vor dem Ziel sowas erleiden müssen. Ansonsten geht’s denn anderen beiden Pflänzchen gut sie wachsen prächtig und Mann kann sehen wie die Buds an Volumen zunehmen. Ich hoffe das ich innerhalb 1 Woche das Problem in den Griff bekomme damit die anderen beiden auch noch an Volumen zunehmen können da Mangan für das Wachstum verantwortlich ist. Danke für euer Interesse und das ihr bis hier hin gelesen habt, ich werde mich wieder melden wenn sich was ändern sollte. P.S Ich habe kurz mit dem Gedanken gespielt die beiden Ladys mit den Mangelerscheinungen früher zu fällen aber von diesen Gedanken bin ich wieder ab. Ich habe noch 14 Steckis von allen 4 Ladys die warten in die Blüte geschickt zu werden. Ich wünsche allen fette Buds und gutes Wachstum.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-25. Week 6 starts. Added a video of the girls. Gave the girls water and nutrients. Girl N1 is 60 cm high and have grown 14 cm in 7 days. Nr 2 is 37 cm and has grown 4 cm in 7 days. I flushed the girls yesterday with 40 liters of tap water. Im lowering the humidity in the room with a dehumidifier and try to have 50% air humidity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-29. Installation of the New light rail in the grow room. Its Advanced star light V 5.0. Added a video of it.

Harvest in two parts to fatten up the lower buds for a week or two. Likely, another good ounce to two of sweet buds. Didn't quite lollipop, previously, but understand the benefits of the technique, especially if seeking a more standardized harvest in one chop. Looking forward to the cure and terp retention/development.

Black Cherry Gushers from Barney's Farm was a big plant with some seriously chunky nugs. The pistils stayed pretty light, but the trichomes were still on point. It's got that classic Barney's Farm quality – big yields and a unique look. Definitely a fun one to grow! I recently upgraded to the GrowPro Solutions Under Canopy lights, and wow, what a difference! The colors on my plants are seriously popping – they look so vibrant. Plus, I think it really helped them finish strong. If you're looking to boost your grow, I'd definitely recommend checking these out.
