🌱 VEGETATIVE (4 weeks) The Runtz seed, placed in a root-riot cube within a DWC net pot, successfully sprouted by day 4, under an 18/6 light cycle (50W at 50cm). The first week saw the seedling establish itself, with roots extending into the DWC reservoir. During the second week, despite slightly low humidity and temperature, the seedling demonstrated robust and rapid growth. Light intensity was increased to 75W. Towards the end of this week, I removed the first set of true leaves as they were growing too close to the substrate. The third week marked a noticeable increase in the plant's water uptake (1 LT/day), which prompted me to raise the nutrient solution's EC to 1.0. The plant showed significant development while maintaining a compact stature – a trait I appreciated. In the fourth and final week of vegetation, as odors began to emerge, I installed a carbon filter, raised the EC to 1.2, keep the pH in the right range and boosted the light intensity further to 150W. By the end of this phase, the plant was bushy, compact (21 cm height), and healthy. 🌸 FLOWERING (8 weeks) For the first week I switched the light cycle to 12/12 and introduced a new nutrient solution adding Power Buds to the mix. During the second week I was impressed to see preflowers clearly visible as early as day 10 of flowering. So, during the third week I made a substantial defoliation session to manage the plant's increasing bushiness, which I knew would be crucial for later-stage light penetration and humidity control. In the fourth week I introduced a PK 8/9 booster, Green Sensation, thereby increasing the phosphorus and potassium concentration in the solution, water consumption around 3 LT/day. Towards the end of the week, I performed another significant defoliation, including the removal of lower, light-starved branches, to which the plant responded well. During the fifth week the stretching phase concluded, with the plant reaching its final height of 69cm. Its focus shifted to bud development, and the foliage began to adopt a darker hue. At this point, my role was primarily to maintain stable environmental parameters and a correct pH in reservoir. During the sixth week buds were visibly swelling daily, the plant remained in excellent health, and resin production became more pronounced. For the seventh week I implemented a change in feeding, completely cutting the nitrogen from the DWC solution, using only Green Sensation at a higher concentration. In the eighth and final week of flowering (week 12 overall), I performed a complete DWC reservoir change. I filled it with plain tap water and maintained this for 4 days leading up to harvest. On day 56 of flowering (84 from seed), the Runtz plant appeared perfectly ready. The buds were dense and glistening, pistils mostly browned and retracted, and trichomes displayed a good mix of milky and some amber. Immediately after harvesting her, I removed the fan leaves, deciding to dry these as well due to their remarkable resin content. ✅ DRYING The entire plant was hung to dry inside the grow box, which was kept completely dark with constant, gentle air circulation for 8 days. The average VPD during this period was maintained around 1.2 (approximately 20°C and 50% RH). Once this drying period was complete, I trimmed off all the sugar leaves. These resinous sugar leaves will be combined with the already dried fan leaves and larf buds, and I plan to use them to make cannabutter for edibles. ⚖️ Dry weight After the 8-day drying period, and once all the remaining small leaves and branches were removed from the buds, I weighed the final product: The harvest yielded: - 150 grams of dense buds and 5 grams of finger hash. For edibles: - 30 grams of larf and a large amount of fan and sugar leaves. ✅ CURING For the curing process, the dried buds were placed in a large, airtight glass jar. This jar was stored in a dark location within a room maintaining a stable temperature of around 20°C for a total of 45 days. The burping schedule was as follows: Day 1-7: twice daily for 10 min. Day 8-10: once daily for 10 min. Day 11-14: every other day for 10 min. Day 15-21: every 3 days for 10 min. Day 22-30: every 4 days for 10 min. Day 31-45: No burping. 📑 SMOKE REVIEW - At 15 days cured a vegetal note is still quite present and the smoke is a bit harsh, typical for a short cure. The effects are already pleasant and potent, very promising. - After 30 days of curing, the Runtz has improved considerably. The vegetal smell has mostly faded, giving way to a much more defined sweet and fruity fragrance reminiscent of candy and berries. The smoke is noticeably smooth, euphoric effects are dominant. - At 45 days, Runtz has expressed its full potential and is now perfectly cured for daily enjoyment. The aroma is intense and complex, an explosive mix of sweet candy and tropical notes. The effects are potent, starting with an uplifting cerebral euphoria that evolves into a pleasant body relaxation, without leading to couch-lock. 🍕 I also made cannabutter which I used to finish a risotto. The result was insane – both the risotto itself and the potency of the cannabutter were exceptional!

Buenos growers Os dejo la semana 2 de floración correspondiente al día 04-09-2024 estamos que no paramos, espero que os guste growers

Successfully harvested Wapanga, unveiling a vibrant candy aroma and densely packed buds. Being my maiden experience with a Californian strain, the cultivation journey was thoroughly enjoyable. The plant has been carefully hung to dry, and the anticipation of tasting the fruits of this labor is palpable. Excitement lingers in the air as the drying process unfolds, promising a flavorful and aromatic experience upon consumption. Wapanga has undoubtedly left a positive impression, and I eagerly look forward to savoring the results of this rewarding cultivation endeavor. 🌿🍬

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!

Day 35 Noticed true flowers on 3 of 4 plants. Turned lights up to 100%. 5 or 6 large leaves removed from each during past week. Increased nutes for two feedings during this past week. Photos and video from day 36. Noticed brown spots and tip burn Day 38 on some leaves mid plant on BB2 and GG2. I'm guessing start of Potassium lock out because of too much Cal mag. Flushed all 4 with one gallon each of 6.5 ph water on Day 38 and removed all LST. By Day 40 all new growth was healthy and all were growing quickly. Defoliated BB2 of 8 large fan leaves and a few on the others.

Transplanted and topped today. I always transplant and top at the same time as new shoots equals new roots! Maximize your grow! The roots are looking amazing for this transplant. I made another coco perlite and gaia green mix. This time with a 1:2 ratio of the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 because I will be flipping to flower the week after the plants have recovered from topping. On transplant I use a mycorrhizae powder to reduce transplant shock and aid in nutrient uptake and root development. They still need some nitrogen to support them during the stretch but the added phosphorus helps with the stretch along with potassium to setting buds. I also installed my first layer of trellis to weave the plants in early. At the end of the week I got 2 autos and wanted to see what I could do with them so I planted them and then also got rid of one of the Caramel Creams (C.C) because it was lagging behind the other one a little to much.

They looking Fire all over smell is amazing Bluezy has not the bud Strukture im looking for and does Not Look Like the biggest yielder but man the smell is Crazy like really Crazy chemical sour blueberry light bleaching on one bud Dante’s Inferno buds are Rock Hard and slowly reaching the size of soft drink cans, and the node spacing is insane golfballs all the way down The smell is like a tropical runtz super sweet fruitmix Tomb raider has just amazing plant structure amazing bud Structure is a trych Monster and the smell goes towards sweet sour gelato Kinda direction

Harvested at week 9

This week was when I first recognized that there was something wrong.... Initially I only realized that the stems of my little girl were slightly bent downward. In some cases I have experienced this orientation when a plant is exhausted and about to got through its sleeping period but, this seemed different. In the following days I began to notice that the lower leaves were beginning to fade, the stems began to turn red, and still the leaves were bending downward and not praying to the light! At first I just figured that my plant was in need of a feeding and transplanting to a larger container but, after doing a bit of research I realized that the I may have been experiencing a phosphorus deficiency. From my understanding I knew that these plants require nutrients that is high in nitrogen during the vegetative part of its life however, I did not realize that it's still needed an adequate amount of phosphorus in this stage too. As I mentioned perviously, I decided to reuse my soil for this grow and as a result of sterlization my growing medium no longer had any nutrients to offer my plant at the time. I believe this is the reason I began to see signs of deficiencies and going forward if I ever reuse my medium again I will make sure to re-amend it before using it. *I also topped the plant at the 5th node this week as well*

There's a slight smell of a cheese bud. Only got about 0.6 ounce bud can improve on that with better LST. I have a lack of pictures because it has been smoked. 😃

Transplanting and training today

Über die letzten Tage habe ich die einzelnen Nährstoffe aus der NL gerechnet und in 3 Schritten "ausgeschlichen". 1: Tag 56 Zuerst habe ich den Phosphor rausgenommen, indem ich das PK13/14 gegen Mono-Kalium getauscht habe. EC von 3,3 auf 3,0 gesenkt. 2: Tag 66 Etwa 10 Tage später habe ich das Kalium weggelassen und bin auf das normale Schema ohne PK13/14 zurück gewechselt. Zusätzlich habe ich das Magnesium rausgenommen, indem ich den Calmag-Agent durch Mono-Calcium getauscht habe. EC von 3,0 auf 2,8 gesenkt. 3: Tag 70 4 Tage später habe ich dann den Stickstoff rausgenommen und das Calcium minimal reduziert, um die Verhältnisse aufeinander abzustimmen. Ec von 2,8 auf 2,0 gesenkt. Außerdem trinkt die OG Kush den Tank ja in einem Tag leer, also gebe ich ihr am Morgen kein zusätzliches Wasser mehr. Sie leidet also am Abend ein wenig an Trockenstress, bevor sie neue NL bekommt. Die Chemdawg schafft das nicht, also lasse ich sie "normal" laufen als kleinen Vergleich. Sie bekommt alle 3 Tage neue NL, da sie höchstens 1 Liter am Tag trinkt. Für den anfallenden Trim hab ich mich schonmal mit einer Waschmaschine vorbereitet, da mir die letzten Male von Hand rühren oder in der Box schütteln zu anstrengend und zeitaufwändig war. Ich werde nur 2 Siebungen machen und zwar 160er micron und 45er micron, da mein Anspruch da nicht übertrieben hoch ist, was die einzelnen Stufen angeht. Alles von 45 bis 120 war immer ok für mich. Die ersten Übungen mach ich mit den Resten aus dem Outdoor-Run, das ist eh nicht gerade der Hit und kann deshalb für sowas gut herhalten.

2.17.2024: End of week 3. Plant is heathy and doing well. Pistils are showing and def in the preflower stage. Would wager there will be noticeable bud development at the end of this week. Still no nutes given although i would have to imagine its getting to be that time. No defoliation yet, only slight LST to the bottom branches. 2.18.2024: Start of week four from seed. Holding course. 2.19.2024: Day 31 from seed. Plant is drinking more. Gave 64oz at 6.4ph. Run off ppm was 1450 at 6.6ph. Essentially 4 full weeks from seed before i need to start feeding. Next watering will contain nutrients. 2.20.2024: Plant is doing its thing. Firmly in the preflower/early flower stage. Growing 1/2 to 1 inch a day it seems like. Still can't bring myself to do any defoliation. 2.21.2024: Day 33 from seed, 29 from sprout. Picked up the pot this morning and it was very lite so i gave it another 64oz at 6.3ph. No run off this time which tells me they are starting to need more water or i need to up the frequency. Still no nutes in 33 days! The branches of the top 2 large fan leaves this morning were sagging a bit with a touch of purple on the stems. Chalking that up to water but will monitor as we progress. 2.22.2024: Besides white tips on top growth, steady as she goes. I'll post a pic of the white tips. No idea how to solve. Plant is totally in flower but since we're almost at the end of week 5 from seed, i'll keep the diary in "flower." 14.5 inches from soil to top. Would love to see these get to 24 inches by the end. 2.23.2024: Upped water to 96oz at 6.4ph. About 2 cups of run off at 6.4ph and 1500ppm. Original soil still has nutes to offer at day 35 from seed.

Also on Thursday, I started to give her Bud Ignitor to help Alice.K. with the pre-flowering stage. From now on i will have very few night shoots as at the end of the week I placed and fixed the SCROG mesh, so I can't move the plant anymore. Later in flora i will try to do some at night inside the tent, I need to make some tests before, and see how she responds, as I don't want to stress her with night light along flowering time. Finally on Sunday I designed something to support the lower main branches, I only have photos with one branch supported as I taked the photos while the rest of the supports were printed. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 11/09/19 (Day 51) - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients -(Bud Candy & Silica Power) & Organic Growth Nutrition only 1.5ml/l @ 1.25 E.C.

También el miércoles empecé a usar Bud Ignitor para ayudar a Alice.K. con su etapa de pre-floración. A partir de ahora tendré pocos disparos nocturnos. Al final de la semana he fijado la malla de SCROG, y no podré mover más la planta. Más entrada la floración haré unas pruebas nocturnas dentro del armario para ver cómo responde a las fotos nocturnas, ya que no quiero estresarla con luces por la noche durante la floración. Finalmente el Domingo diseñé e imprimí unos soportes para las ramas inferiores, sólo hay fotos con una de las ramas sujetas, ya que hice las fotos mientras se imprimía el resto de los soportes. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 11/09/19 (Día 51) - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Bud Candy y Silica Power) y de Organic Growth Nutrition sólo 1,5ml/l @ 1,25 E.C.
