Vegetation Phase - Week 5 Week 5 marks a bittersweet milestone. RIP to the Marienkäfer homie — gone but never forgotten. Their watchful eyes and pest-snacking legacy will forever live on in the tent. Meanwhile, the Donutz gang is thriving and about to hit the next big step in their journey: the 7-liter pot upgrade. Updates & Changes: RIP Marienkäfer: Nature giveth and taketh away. The tent feels a little emptier without our little guardian, but pest pressure remains nonexistent thanks to their diligent work. Transplant Time: The plants are moving up to 7L pots this week, giving their roots the room they need to expand and thrive before flipping to bloom. This upgrade will ensure a strong foundation for the explosive growth coming soon. Watering: Still sticking with reverse osmosis (RO) water for maximum control and cleanliness. Plan for Flower Transition: After the transplant, the plants will chill for the rest of the week in their new homes to recover and adjust. Week 6 will cover the flip to flower. With the clean lollipopped structure and solid root development, these plants are set to focus all their energy on producing hefty main colas in the Sea of Green setup. Observations: The Donutz are stacking beautifully, with healthy green leaves and strong stems. The SOG canopy is filling out, and each plant is shaping up to deliver a uniform, productive grow. Next Steps: Monitor the plants closely after transplanting to ensure they adjust smoothly to the 7L pots. Maintain stable environmental conditions to avoid stress during the final veg phase. Prepare for the flip to flower in Week 6 — the real show is about to begin!

Too much stress,really cold environment,some times with the grow light off the temperature is around 13/15C and the air goes direct to this plant because the fan is close enough,the Plant doesn’t give up and has some over feed too,idk why but I’m using nutrients after 15/20 days and half of dosage that BioBizz says and I still have over feed a little bit and nutrient lockout maybe because I’m using some Bio Molasses Blackstrap but if I’m using molasses I’m not using bio grow and I’m using like 3/4ml per L.The LST is because the plant got really tall that the grow lamp couldn’t go higher because of my grow tent size and I needed to break the top cola.

It was a good week for Night Nurse👍 Now that they're in the ground they're doing much better and putting out more growth. The one on the end could have better color, since her new growth is a bit yellow. I gave her an extra feeding last night after I transplanted some Calendula into the bed since it's a good pest repelling companion. We're getting some much needed rain today🙏 Otherwise there's not much else to report! Update 6/26- I totally forgot to add that on Monday the garden got a spraying of horn manure. Horn manure is a biodynamic preparation of cow manure that's been fermented in a buried horn. This results in a material that's teeming with beneficial flora and fauna for the soil. Ideally it would be sprayed prior to planting in the spring as it encourages healthy root growth. I purchased the pre-potenized so that I only had to spend 20 mins stirring rather than an entire hour. That would have been brutal😵 I sprayed it at night when the earth is breathing in and used a spruce bough to sprinkle it over the plants in the garden. The extra icing on the cake was that there was a rain the day before, and another the day after I sprayed so it was well watered in.

Pineapple in the Parlour! End of week 5 for these two beauties. I've fed them twice with the same feed as week 4 but both times supplemented 1ml per litre with Canna Nitrogen and 0.5 of BioGreen Calgel. They've responded perfectly changing to a luscious deep green colour and nearly doubled in size! I'm putting this down to many factors but have to give some credit to my new Ecotechnics Unis Co2 doser. It took a few days for the plants to respond but they have had a great burst of growth in the last 72 hours. At the beginning of the week I struggled with some environmental issues and these plants looked lacking in calcium but you wouldn't know if you looked at them today. Both beautiful and green! I'm hoping that by next week they will start showing signs of flower as I'm training them to go under a scrog and dont actually want them to get too big. The reason for this is because i have 2 Six Shooter in the tent also and want to give them enough space to show me just how good a strain they are. Ahhh But...... afterall this is my competition grow and I want these Pinapple to flourish and yeild the best they can. Hence why I'm investing heavily in my environment. As well as the Co2 I've also added an additional 300w LED into the tent. Its actually the light I used to veg these plants but I have ordered a new light for my veg box and I'm not about having lights sat around 😁 Fingers crossed these girls make the flip at some point this week. P Update: Day 39 added a few more photos of these beautiful Pinapple! I think FastBuds should have named them Amazon Express because this canopy is thick!!!! I think they are just showing their first signs of flower which is great so I may do a little bit of defoliation tomorrow or Saturday. Some of the biggest fan leaves are the size of my hand and taking up a lot of that valuable canopy light. As these are going under the net I'm just constantly tucking them under as they grow a couple of inches per day. Everything going really well with this grow I'm really optimistic.

My longest vegetative growth to date. This may be her last week in veg, I will keep her outdoor for flowering as of next week….my theory is proven with the solar powered light. I love what she has come…the LST worked for even spacing.

Hey there, green warriors and cannabis lovers! 🌱🔥 We’re now in week 3 of the flowering stage in our Runtz Battle, and things are really starting to heat up! This week brought an interesting twist as we had to make a strategic adjustment to ensure all our plants are on the same page. Let’s dive into the details and explore how things are progressing. Week 3 Flowering Progress 🌿✨ Our Runtz plants continue to flourish, and here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Development 🌸: • The buds are filling out beautifully, with each day bringing more growth and resin production. The plants are stacking up nicely, with dense flowers forming at multiple sites. The F1 strain remains compact and uniform, showcasing tight, resin-packed bud sites. • Environmental Stability 🌡️: • We’re maintaining consistent environmental conditions with a room temperature of 30.3°C, water temperature at 18°C, and humidity at 51%. These stable conditions are key to supporting strong bud growth and overall plant health. Switching to 12/12: The Light Adjustment 🌟💡 This week, we made a crucial adjustment to our lighting schedule: • Why the Change? 🌞🌙: • One of our plants hadn’t yet started flowering, so we made the decision to switch all plants to a 12/12 light cycle. This change is essential to trigger flowering in the plant that was lagging, ensuring it joins the rest of the group in producing those beautiful buds. • How 12/12 Helps 🌿💡: • The 12/12 light cycle mimics the natural change in daylight hours as summer transitions to fall, signaling to the plants that it’s time to focus on reproduction (flowering). This shift is a classic technique to ensure all plants in the garden synchronize their flowering process. The reduction in light hours encourages the production of flowering hormones, which will now help the plant that was behind to catch up and start forming buds. • Impact on the Runtz Plants 🌸: • The Runtz strains that were already flowering won’t be negatively affected by this change. In fact, the consistent 12/12 cycle can help to further boost their flowering intensity, ensuring that the buds continue to develop fully and evenly. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 Our focus on proper nutrition and environmental care remains a top priority: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • With the Autopots still running smoothly, we’re continuing with Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The nutrient-rich soil and organic inputs are keeping the plants well-fed, and the consistent hydration is ensuring steady growth and flower development. • Lighting and Environmental Control 🌡️: • The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro continues to provide powerful, full-spectrum light that supports the flowering process. With the 12/12 schedule in place, the plants are receiving the perfect balance of light and dark, critical for flower development. • The TrolMaster Hydro-X controller remains essential in managing these conditions, keeping everything dialed in for optimal plant health. Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we move deeper into flowering, the anticipation only grows. The 12/12 light cycle is now in full effect, ensuring all our plants are flowering together. The Runtz strains are on track to produce a stunning harvest, with each plant showcasing its unique strengths. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green journey. The next few weeks are going to be thrilling as we watch these buds fatten up and reach their full potential! 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week3Flower #CannabisCommunity #FloweringStage #LightCycle #12and12 #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 💚

What a world of difference a week can make when growing auto-flowers. I did a lot of maintenance on these girls the last couple of days. See pics and videos. Two of the plants have stretched out nicely. The other three are falling behind, but looking very nice. There is a strong citrus smell happening right now. Smells like I have a tent full of fresh lemons. Started using Big Bud and Bud Candy this past week. Tent 2as getting quite crowded, so I also moved the water reservoir on the outside of the tent. It was very hard to cut a lot of those beautiful buds off the plants, but I think it will pay off. I also got the new Vivosun Grow Cams, so far I like them, but I do have some feed back.

Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba Kush X Burnt Toast (from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape An Exciting New Collab from Katsu Bluebird ! Week 11, & the End of 4 weeks of flowering (30 Days of 12/12) Welcome back to our regular scheduled programming.... Like I mentioned we are officially 30 days into our 12/12 lighting cycle. Now taking into consideration that this is one of the first runs of this particular strain the flower period is partially undetermined, I will be guessing based on Lineage of the parents, & following her closely towards the end to ensure my desired trichome ripeness. Katsu's HotCake's run's Approximately 8-9 Weeks & The Grape Ape run's slightly quicker at 7-8 Weeks You can certainly tell the difference between all 5 plants, I'm very glad I took cuts of everything ! as plants 2 & 3 are certainly the keepers of the bunch.. plant 2 showing some very cool fall colours already (emerson effect hitting strong asf) She is already starting to purple up & smells Very Sweet. My guess is this pheno leans more to the Grape Ape side. As far as plant 3 is concerned I can smell heavy Kush aromas emulating off her already, & based on her flowering structure I believe this pheno leans more Katsu Bubba. but we'll have to wait and see. A Minor amount of leaf plucking this week should be noted.. It will probably be the last time I mess with them, its time to start swelling up. It is my opinion that most of the stretch has been completed & i'm now looking at the final colas minus the couple weeks of filling out of course. As this is the end of four weeks of flower(12/12) Their food will be increased during the next feeding, thus far i've been impressed with the ease of this strain.. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest but I will say this I was weary of over-feeding but all of them seem to enjoy heavy feedings. Thanks for Reading 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo
