On the final stretch. Bug issues seem to be under control. All plants were flushed last week. This lady had 9l of dechlorinated water @6.8 pass through her. Checked pH in the run off and was spot on. All the buds are very dense. The way I have trained her has meant rather the some tall colas I have lots of smaller along the same branch as I kept the canopy wide and flat. I can't believe it's been this long! I started this grow after seeing @silky_smooth doing amazing art. So I decided to main line and train 16 colas.. second grow and probably way too ambitious. I have learned so much from her taking 4 clones and finding my way with my nutes. I hope I have not failed her or the great genetics Barney's Farm have produced. I had a vision of what I wanted her to look like and I feel I got what I set out for. Lessons learned. Slow down on nutes. Less is more sometimes! Plastic pots suck ass... At least 25l ones do. If I ever grow in this pot again I will amend my substrate as the drainage seemed way off with just biobizz light mix. Lights... 100% on the dimmer is not always best..(thanks @Mrs_Larimar) Bugs... They are bastards and I will start to feed nematodes into my final pot each grow from now on. And lots more.... We will keep her on water for the rest of this week then I will leave her to what's left for the last week. Thanks for looking if you managed to read this far thanks. Stay safe😷😷 Happy grows🌿🌱🌿

📋Comment I do like this strain, I wouldn't have joined this competition if I didn't like it. 📋 Data Seed to havest=105 days. Veg time=28 days. Flower time=77 days. Wet weight=609g Dry weight=50g 📋 Smoke report I started trimming after she had been hanging for 14 days. Had time to trim 30g and did the remainder the night after. The buds went into groove bags on 6/5/25. The trim is frosty so I'll do a hash run, there was only 4g of larfy buds which will go into my hash run. 25/6/25 Had a sample, by far the strongest runtz i have grown. Highly impressed, 📋Grow stats for GDG 23 #1 Runtz=50g #2 Fat Bastard=86g Total=136g Lights on. 20hrs×7days=140hrs 18hrs×21days=378hrs 12hrs×77days=924hrs Total hours=1442hrs Light power=147.73Kw Rad power=105.69Kw Extractor=34.12Kw 4 gang=47.02Kw Top fan=17.72Kw Total electricity=352.28KW Electricity cost @£0.25/Kw=£88.07 Average light power a day=1.4Kw Average watt per hour=102w g/watt=(136÷102)=1.33g/w £/g=£0.64/g 📋Final word. I should have been more proactive then reactive with this plant, if I had raised her a lot sooner she would have produced a bit more and fought for more space. I'm happy with with my results from the grow. Runtz is always a good strain to have. I'm also loving the green sensation, and the Plagon tera nutes, last 2 grows have had lots of frost since switching to them. Unfortunately I didn't win the Eternity Cup or place in the top 10. I have looked through loads of the diaries that entered and damn there was some 🔥 diaries, what a great competition to have been apart off. Congratulations to @Cauli, @naujas, @DogDoctorOfficial, for placing in the top 3 of the Eternity cup, excellent diaries, and congratulations to the remaining winners. 👏👏 to those that haven't kicked off about not winning. It's best to be a loser then a sore loser. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************

Friday, Feb. 19th. Today Iam going to make a Grow just for me I bought in November the 25 Years Anniversary Box from T.H. -Seeds Today ive chosen the Bubblegum Its just because ive grown it once and only had 1 Plant ( clone) and it was soooo delicious We will see if i can repeat that Taste with the " Legendary Bubblegum" from T.H.-Seeds As I have a bigger Growspace, these Girls are going to start under 12/12 Lightschedule Starting in 3l Airpots and then transplanting into 11l Amended Soilmix ( RQS Easy Boost Organic Nutrient) I took 3 Seeds, they were looking quite lightgreen--------and put them into a Glass of lukewarm Water for a few Hours Tomorrow i am going to make Further Germination under a wet Kitchensponge Saturday Feb. 27th. Those seeds took longer to Germinate than the other Strains But on saturday Roots were long enough to Plant them Monday Plants show barely up... still in Shell... one looking like wilted yeah we will see in the next 2 days who made it Girls are growing under 12/12 in the Big Tent. its quite dry here ( RH 40 or less) and they have to fight more, than in the other Tents But in the End.... Cannabis grows under nearly every Condition... its just the Question how good so stay tuned for the next update.... in week 1 Stay Tuned Saturday Feb.20th After a few Hours sokaing into Water, they moved under a wet Kitchensponge for further Germination Then they are covered and placed on a warm Spot. Breeders Information: Bubblegum is one of the first strain in T.H. Seeds collection. It was created in 1993. Today Bubblegum is an outstanding and famous cannabis variety with a big amount of awards. The plant demonstrates a good stabillity. It has a quite short size and reaches to 120-160 cm tall. The harvest comes after 55-60 days of the flowering and produces yields of 350-500 gr/m2. The smoke provides an intense fruity flavor and a mostly indica effect.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Die gelben Blattspitzen haben sich vom 12.10-18.10.24 sehr vermehrt. Betroffen sind nur die jungen Blätter, spitzen sind stark sichtbar gelb geworden. Ph-Wert beträgt aktuell 7.0. Ich werde der Pflanze keinen Dünger mehr geben. Ph-Wert vom Wasser wird auf natürliche Weise gesenkt, um die Erde durchzuspülen.

En esta semana transplante a una maceta de 18 litros definitivamente. La planta en si no ha desarrollado muchas raíces por lo que supongo que quedo pequeña por ese motivo, en los próximos días regare con micorrizas para ver si mejora.

1/29/24 - Beginning of week. Looked good, was planning on letting it go another week but within a day the top leaves started turning yellow all over and I started seeing amber, just a few but spread out all over the plant, so last minute decision to harvest on 1/31/24.

During veg I gave it urine for nitrogen one month after sprouting. Than I gave it a top feeding of compost, and epsom salt. During bloom I gave it a top feeding of epsom salt and a liquid feeding of raw coconut water 2 weeks into bloom and again 4 1/2 weeks into bloom and now I am only giving it water ph at 6.2. Also if u want to keep it totally organic use apple cider vinegar as ph down and baking soda as ph up.

This was a wild ride. Gave way to many nutrients and I realised this way too late, when lock-ups already started to happen. The buds still look very potent, I just think they had way more in em size/potency wise if the nutrients would've been on point. Not growing auto flowers indoor anymore, but I'll deffo be growing this one outdoors this year! The smell is out of this world, #1 smells like tropical fruit juice, #2 more of a candy-sweetness but definitely tropical. Can't wait for ya'll to grow this one!

Following med-teks feed chart. Feeding heaviest nutrients (2.7 EC) runoff currently just over 3.0. Going to need to do a small flush to and start reducing ec prior to actual flushing phase. Advised by my local hydro shop to reduce EC down to 1 before hitting the plants with the heavier nutrients. Only started applying this method 2 weeks ago. Seems to be ok. Would appreciate some opinions but!

Week 2 : Colorado Cookies in Biotabs Biotabs are drying much quicker than the other pots because they're closer to the fan, so i'll tune the air control in by having the fan pointing upwards instead. They got watered with micro from my very own specialized micro , one tablespoon per L, aloe gel from my kitchen plant, and (regretfully) a bit of lemon juice to pH it. didnt realise the organic would be no match for the aloe pH wise, so i'm spraying 1ml of my very own amino concentrate directly on the soil , not on the plant. i do one spray in the morning one spray at night, for 10 days to try to get the pH normalised to 6 , the night time is just enough to mix one spray can of 250 ml with 1/4 ml of amino concentrate, and have some left over. i added maybe 160 ppm of aloe to the watering. I sprayed the leaves once or twice max with 1ml/L spray and 120 cal mag on day 5. VPD went from week one 0.6 to 0.8 to pretty stable at 1.0. got my laser thermometer in the mail, so that really helps ! very even phenos across the colorado cookies so far, three nodes, very straight, very hungry. they seem to be enjoying having the roots a bit too cold more than the others. in soil ppm went from 340 in week one to 420 in week 2 🚀
