This grow was so amazing!! The purple punch’s came out super sticky dense nugs, super frosty , an a huge smell of blueberry muffins! Super fun grow along with the Forbiddin Runtz definitely one of the sweetest berry smelling strains of ever grown, highly recommend everyone to try out the purple punch’s, you will be highly satisfied!! Stay tuned for next grow!!

Plant growing phenomenally really filled out the entire net and ready to let her grow up for the next week or two. Making tea as of today May 31st. Tea is made of worm castings, a little craft blend, a little big 6, and some blackstrap molasses. I plan on watering her with this tea starting June 1st. I added some European night crawlers today. They looked dead when I got them but I added them to the pot and everyone disappeared so evidentially they are still kicking. Pot already has red wigglers for topsoil aeration these guys will help aerate deeper in the root zone It’s been 7 days since flip. It needs a defoliation but I always wait at least 14 days especially in living soil. I’ll do a heavy defoliation at day 14 and likely another smaller one on day 42. Really looking forward to see how this thing flowers. Really interesting strain. Picked it up from a really legit lab in Michigan. They have tissue cultures for most cannabis cup winners; this strain is a bit of a no namer though. Seems like it was bred by a gentlemen known as kick flip genetics, looking at his cuts he clearly has access to high quality genomes, must be a reason this lab decided this was worth producing. I’ll find out God bless Edit June 1st: Noticed what could be some PM on a singular lower leaf likely due to humidity in the 70s so decided to do a pretty heavy defoliation. Did a lollipop for the first time ever. With lower leaf mass being removed the humidity is sitting around 55 now. Interested to see if the lollipop actually pushes energy to those top buds. I hate to do a defoliation at this point in flower(7 days into stretch) but she’s got plenty of leaves left and should recover quick God bless

Hi Folks, i'm glad to share with you these awesome results. With a simple prune scheduling: Two Topping (weeks 4 and 5 of veg) and a huge defoliation on week 3 of flowering (you can see in the 3h photo the comparsion). The result was 12 top colas and a Powerful and frosty buds. Thanks for following the diary! cya! :]

Week 5 of flower: Well I had held out hope that this plant was just a late bloomer and she would really burst into flowering but that hope has faded. I think there is a combo of things at play here. One is just genetics. It’s always a role of the dice when it comes to starting from seed. Also, I had set up my air stones in a different orientation and unbeknownst to me it had created a bit of a whirlpool within the cooler and the roots wrapped up on themselves. This stunted grow a bit as well I am sure. The smell of this plant is out of this world though!! It’s a sweet orange scent that is just intoxicating so I will have to run this again next run and try to get a better flowering phenotype. Onward 😎🍻

This is a seriously hard plant to take photos of, it's so big and lanky. She's on about a 20 degree angle at this point too, she's very top heavy 🤣 Very impressed with this girl. I almost tossed her out as a seedling due to her mutation; I've included a seedling photo to show the reader how far this plant has come. She has produced very dense and sticky buds with extremely strong aromas. She smells like candy and gas, just like a zkittles female would smell late in flower. It's been an easy grow. I'm expecting about 4 oz of high quality flower after dry and cure stages. I intend to press at least half of my yield with my rosin press. This seems like the perfect strain to make concentrates with due to the high terpene/trichome levels. I just added a photo of the Forbidden Runtz i grew in round 1 directly above round 2 flower for a comparison between the two. Round 1 is the two top buds that have more brown/red tone in colour. Round 2 are the lower two buds...a bigger, danker, and better version of the Forbidden Runtz I grew the first time. Please leave a comment to tell me what you think of the photo comparison. I will be planting one outside for round 3 shortly. Thank you growdiaries.com Thank you Fastbuds Thank you to all the growers who helps offer me advise when I needed it

The girls took off after some training and topping. I broke a stem training the green crack so I had to make a splint for her. I’m also noticing the leaves starting to like pinch at the bud sites. I read that this may be wind burn? Help.

The little to the biggest. It's still growing I think my 2x2 is going to be to small for it. Other then that it healthy feeds like a mf I water it at least 3 time last week.

Stopped feeding this week. I'm pretty sure they should be ready to chop in a week or 2. I hate looking at them with my microscope so I've gotten pretty good a judging when they are finished. I love ILGM. They always come thru with solid genetics!!

Outdoors , hurricane came , moved indoors, frost temps , going to Finnish off indoors

Plantitas sanitas...

Just changed the solution on the ones in buckets & top fed the seedling in the soilless mix. They're all looking pretty healthy overall but some of the new growth is looking questionable. I will probably use just ph adjusted tap water on the next resoviour change in order to eliminate the risk of they're being a nutrient buildup or some form of toxicity. 🤔Other than that I topped again this week and I'll probably be taking some cutting from this strain on at the next res change. ✂️💉

11March (VegDay24) Start of week 4 of Veg and with some minor defoliation on both girls, going to stabilize PH at 5.8/6.0 in the coming days. the girls are having 1lt each every 24h RR1 looks like she could do some more so I will start doing 1.2lt for her and keep RR2 at 1lt. 12March (vegDay25) Din some more LST on RR1 and took off 2 big fan leaves also RR2 have some more LST and small defoliation. 13March (vegDay26) increased watering for RR1 to1.5lt also increase nuts and stabilized PH at 6. 14March (vegday27) increased amount of water for both girls today and got a decent amount of runoff! slightly increased a bit more the nuts for one last time before the addition of bloom nuts end of this week. both girls continue to stretch and look healthy. RR1 50cm+3cm RR2 41cm+7cm 15March (Vegday28) as of today, bud candy of AN is part of the team as from now PH is steady and plats look amazing! 17March start of pre-flowering both girls have heavy signs of buds, will mix both grow and bloom nut as from this feed.

Top dressed at the start of week 10 of veg in preparation to start flower this week. Defoliated and lollipop the bottom and also switched using recharge at every watering to tribus bloom at 1/2 strength to add microbes. Dropped ph to 6.3. The pics and videos this week is from 3 days after flipping the light schedule.the tent took longer to arrive than expected, I honestly would’ve flipped at the end of week 8 if I had the means, hopefully the flower stretchy isn’t massive, the plant sits at 42 inches and the plant pot is 1 1/2 feet so I am running out of space in the tent quickly.

7/11- Second official week of flower is here. I gave her about a quart of water today. Not much else to report. she's doing well! 7/12- I've done nothing to her today. She's still looking great! 7/13- I gave her about a half gallon of water today after I found burned tips on my leaves. Anyone reading this willing to confirm if this is nutrient burn? I'm sure it is, and I'm wondering if I should even feed before I defoliate on the 17th. This might change but as of right now I might only feed bloom nutes when I defoliate. Took her out of the wardrobe a few hours after watering which is why the leaves look depressed. Seems she always slumps with a heavy water. But I was able to get a better look at her flowers, and OH MY GOD. I cant believe how beautiful these neon purple buds are! 7/14- Today I found yellowing leaves on the bottom and they just kind of popped off with a gentle touch. This kind of spooked me. I landed on the conclusion that they probably weren't getting enough light and the plant started taking the nutrients out of those leaves. So I decided to defoliate today. I don't want the lower leaves to fall off cause they aren't getting light. I want those lower bud sites to develop too, so I cut the leaves that were blocking the most light into the plant, allowing the plant to get some energy down lower. I didn't get too crazy but I did remove a good amount. I will likely continue to prune leaves over the next few days but its mostly gonna remain natural growth from this point on. 7/15- Watered a quart this morning. Seems like she's really drinking a lot. The buds are starting to get fat. The buds are really pink! 7/16- God drunk last night and turned the light down to take pictures of the bud.... My dumbass never turned it back up. So today about midway though its day cycle I noticed and turned it back up. 7/17- Some leaves are yellowing. I think its a K deficiency. I cant feed today, soil is still too wet. Will probably feed tomorrow.

The Plants are slowly going into the Flowering stage 😊

2018-11-19 Flowering in full swing. Pulling slows down. In the morning, on the day of the compote replacement, my PPM-meter broke down. Therefore, the new solution was kneaded by eye. Tomorrow a new device will arrive and I will clarify what I have mixed there. 2018-11-24 Buds swell, there is time to figure out how to do time lapse video.

Day 44 - March 25, 2021 Started noticing a couple gnats in our house. It's been warm outside and they are starting to come out. Unfortunately saw some in the room as well and can only assume there are many more feeding on the ladies. Gave foliar spray using Bee Safe Organicide. Gave all the girls a thorough haircut today and worked on trying to get canopy under control. Vegatation was very thick. Doesn't look like deficency issue with F7 is spreading. Continuing to watch for any changes indicating the problem is still ongoing. Gave foliar spray (1:00AM): * Bee Safe Organicide Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 10:45PM * 2.21 EC * 5.9 PH * 73.94F (with ambient temps being higher, res temp is higher as well) * ~13-gallons remaining before topping off * Added ~5-gallons (solution mixed 3/24) (11:00PM) * 2.16 EC (after topping off) * 5.9 pH (after topping off) * 73.40F (after topping off) * ~18-gallons remaining (after topping off) Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) ** 1:00AM-4:00AM (Reduced light intensity to 50% for foliar spray) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars Off 24-hours Air control: 69F-82F (80F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 50%-65% (56% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-70% RH (Lights Off) ~1181PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~690PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 45 - March 26, 2021 Didn't do much in the garden today. Tucked a couple branches under trellis netting and that's pretty much it. Hoping will have the trellis on each cage filled out by next weekend. Nutrient deficiency with F7 seems to be resolved. New growth not showing any issues. Found a dead gnat on a leaf. Bee Safe foliar spray seems to have done the trick. Continuing to keep close eye out for pests.

Also found 4 of 5 fan leaves with Calcium deficiency over the last couple of days. Runoff is PH 5.8 and EC is 0.78. EC in runoff has been very low. I'm pretty confident it's not a PH issue at this point. Seems plants are rapidily soaking up the nutrients in the water. I also found 8 or 9 fan leaves with slight nutrient burn a few days ago. Nutrient burn seems to have tapered off and haven't noticed any spreading. Going to try adding an additional watering to the schedule to see what happens. I'm hesitant to mix stronger nutrients due to nutrient burn I started to see earlier this week. At the same time, need to figure out the cause of the nutrient deficiencies. I'm currently using the Light Feeding Schedule from Mills Nutrients (says "light", but is still 2.06 EC including 0.54 EC for water + CalMag) Need to switch to flower soon but need to figure out deficiency issues before the switch. Defoliation: * Removed quite a bit of fan leaves suffocating nodes. Girls are 10lbs lighter. Despite the nutrient issues, the girls have been filling out fast. Did a timelapse over the past couple days and can see significant growth in a short period. Gave Foliar Spray Foliar Spray: * 1 Gallon RO Water (EC 0.08) * 10ML CalMag+ per Gallon * 0.5ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize per gallon * PH 6.0 * EC 1.19 Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 8:00PM-8:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 11:30PM * 2.06 EC * 5.9 PH * 73.40F * Topped off to approximately 20-gallons Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 18-hours (10:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 10:00AM Lights On (100%) ** 11:00AM Reduced intensity to 50% for foliar spray ** 12:00PM Increase intensity to 75% ** 1:00PM Increased intensity to 100% * Gavita LEDs Off 6-hours (4:00AM - 10:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-82F (77F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 55%-70% (67% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-75% RH (Lights Off) ~1574PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~880PPM CO2 (Lights Off)

Week 1 - 2 look identical while other has some issues. My goal is to maximize my 4x4 tent. Let’s see how big we can get it !
