Runtz Automatic - Zamnesia
Day 63 - This beautiful girl is less than a week from harvest, so for the past two waterings sessions, she has received just pain RO tap water, pH'd to 6.3. This process is known as "flushing" and it is essential to remove salt built up in the soil and plant. I will flush her over the next few days, allowing her soil to dry back to around 10% before I flush her again - I will do this step three or four times before I harvest. I've also removed a good portion of her fan leaves, to allow any bud site that might have been covered, to get a final weeks worth of direct light.
Notes:
- she is foxtailing in some parts, but not in others and the PPFD is in a normal range (800-1200) for this stage, so I'm assuming this is a genetic defect!? The Papaya Zoap and Do-Si-Dos, which are directly to her left and right, are a couple of weeks behind, and are not showing signs of foxtailing... Either way, she is just for me, so I'm not too worried about it, if anything, it makes her more beautiful!
- her aroma is very sweet with some earthy undertones, very typical for Runtz.
- the color on her cola's has changed in places, from green to purple, which is just beautiful!
- around 90% of her trichomes are milky with around 2-5% being amber and 5% clear.
- the majority of her pistils have turned orange, with some white pistils appearing from new growth only.
- I could have started flushing her a few days earlier, but she still looked like she was bulking; that has now stopped.
