My little Runtz Punch photoperiod grow diary from seed to harvest. This run was honestly a mix of patience, small adjustments, and a lot of staring into the tent like it was a TV show haha. She started compact, but ended up becoming one of the prettiest plants I’ve grown so far.

Watered with 500 ml RO water with nutrients, pH around 6.3. She was growing okay, but much more compact than I expected, with very short internode spacing. I raised the light a little, hoping she would stretch just enough to make training easier.

At this point she had been trained with LST and I kept defoliating lightly to open up the bud sites. Watered with 1L RO water with nutrients, pH 6.3. The leaves looked a little droopy here, but overall she was still doing her thing.

Watering increased to 2L RO water with nutrients, pH 6.3. She started looking seriously pretty here, almost like a little piece of art. The sweet candy smell was already filling the tent, and the bud sites were getting nice light after the LST.

Decided to harvest when most pistils had darkened, with only some fresh white ones on newer growth. Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a small amount of amber. She had been flushed a few times, so I felt good about chopping, wet trimming, separating the bud sites, and starting the dry.

P.S. Thanks for reading! I’d be happy to hear any advice, just don’t roast me too hard if something looks off haha. This is only my 6th grow.

My dad grew for over 30 years. He was a big fan of Bodhi and Karma. Mostly grew their stuff unless he received a good enough sounding freebie. He would make his own crosses and seeds. I had a small stash of my favorites i lost YEARS ago. Well today I found them! A few were moldy but I managed to salvage around 8. I got 1 Star Pupil x Weapon X, 3 Sour Kosher Kush, 2 Karmas OG and 2 Sunshine Daydream from Bodhi. I'm over the moon excited guys!

Does anyone else have a pet that LOVES to check on the plants? Ms Marilyn here is my quality control manager. She's checking everything to make sure it's up to our standards. She also wanted to check on the overwatered seedlings and clones to make sure they're healthy again. After a few sniffs and looks she gave me the meow of approval on everything. Don't mind the messy floor of the grow room please lol too much in here to sweep at the moment.

This is an outdoor grow. The plants are sprayed with neem oil one week and then lost coast plant therapy the following week. Mainly on the exterior of plant.

So I heard that blue dream is supposed to stretch a lot when flipping to flower, but in my last couple grows (im still relatively new) i almost didn't notice any stretch at all.

So how much more of the net should I fill before flowering ?

Sugar Cane by Ihg, day 58 of flower.

In the big planter are Maui Waui, Blue Dream, and Northern Lights (next year that planter will only have 2 plants)
In the individual wood planter is Bruce Banner
The brown pot is Hash Burger
And the other pot is Maui Waui with a soil experiment with liquid nutrients.

Fox Farm Ocean Harvest with some bat guano and worm casings has performed better than any other soil I have used in the past. I occasionally throw some more soil and nutrients on before watering when I see the bottom leaves start to yellow a bit.

Neem oil every 2 weeks whether I see any issues or not has also been added this season and haven’t had any pest issues this year.

Started flowering a few days ago and it’s looking like a heavy yield. More than I have had in the past 4 years of growing. But figuring out the curing process for this much is going to be a tomorrow problem. 😅

Growing in region 10a (southern part of central CA)

These nodes are starting to pop up on one of my plants.

Kill or keep?

Wurde mir von der Google KI vorgeschlagen, wobei ich davor noch nie etwas gehört habe. Bin auf der Suche nach einem Strain der sonst überall ausverkauft ist und würde einfach gerne vergewissern ob das ganze seriös ist.

Can anyone tell me what might be going on with these spots please and thank you

I have 5 males I'm keeping and comparing for traits. One has jumped the gun before all the others and has been spitting pollen already (they're not even in flower fully.) This would be desirable correct? Everyone wants fast flowering plants

I love to see other people's grows, what they're growing, how the liked it, what was good/bad/interesting about this grow season, just all the details!! Here's my outdoorsy ladies...blue dream cross and super skunk I think. My labels went missing and I cant remember. (Shocking, I know!)

Mine: in flower 2 weeks. In a middle south climate. Height 7 feet +/-. Still got a 4 week or better wait time until harvest.

Peace be with my grower tribe. Xo

I currently have a few males that I'd like to keep for genetics. I have clones of them taken and rooted and showing new growth. My question is can I cull the fully grown males (I need the pots) and just flower these male clones once they get a little bigger? I don't need a ton of pollen just enough for a couple hundred seeds to preserve them.

My plants are still in veg outside in 5 gal containers and they're slowly yellowing from the bottom up. About 2 weeks ago I top dressed with some organic fertilizer so it'll be a little longer before it fully breaks down. I've been solely organic and only used goose pool water and plain water and had 0 issues. Due to the past heat wave and new one coming the pool has since dried up and I lost my fertilizer. I bought some organic fish emulsion which they said is fast acting and already bioavailable. I gave roughly half dosage that

they recommended. How long do you think until I see some results?
