Day 7 flowering : Hi all . A good week for these Exotic ladies tjisbweek with the flowers starting to show up throughout #1,2 And 3. #4 is a week behind it seems now and has started her flowering too. All of them are looking so healthy and green with some huge fan leaves powering the beginning of stretch. I will be defoliating at around day 21 Flowering and will remove the biggest fans to get light down lower in the plants. The stems on these are so thick already that I am confident they will be holding some nice fat colas up come harvest time. #3 has taken the lead with her actual flowers amd has some golf balls forming up already!!. Thisnpot had the premixed pellets in for feeds and I wonder if that is why she is advanced ?. All in all a good week for them all. I am excited at the prospect of their next few weeks now and am so glad I had the chance to try the genetics. Thank you @exoticseed . I already love these plants and their willingness to grow happily is very endearing.

Bloom Starts to really show

3/28/25 chopped and humidity was a little high starting off 3/30/25 have them drying at 60% and 70° 4/3/25 Still needing a day or so of drying to be at a stable humidity Beautiful plant. Fan leaves with Triched out patterns visibly everywhere. Even though i chopped quite a bit off of the plant, i still got quite a bit bigger yield than i expected. All sizable nugs. Pulled 65 grams.

Stoked on her. She turned out wonderful. Smells like rotting strawberries and gas. I’m so glad I could grow her out normally. No purple colors but she has a pink hue to her. I’m pleased. Into the cure closet she goes. She will cure for a couple weeks and I can’t wait to press her into some rosin 🍓

I sure need to get used to the Auto way of growing. My methods and system with soil for regulars are not directly portable to cultivating auto's, so it seems. So what started out as a comparison/battle, is now just a normal grow, since it's not fair that the battlefield was tainted. It does seem the XL Runtz adjust better to my climate and growing style than the Forbidden Runtz. Also looking for ways to keep my tent cooler. Considering growing outdoor this summer with seeds started in the tent. It gets way too hot in here as it is now, with outside temps just at 10 to 15 degrees C. I'm just watering, alternating with a bit of BAC Bloom and Calmag, and some Topmax. From here I hope its some smoother sailing and hoping the other three will pick up some pace. Thanks for checking in again!! Bud

The whole cycle was pretty easy. Grew great didnt need to take care of it alot.

Day 37 - She fully recovered from topping. I defoliated her a bit to open the new stems to get direct light (so they can grow). I used electrical wires to bend the two main stems. I really love using these wires as you can use them very easy to have a wide canopy like in ScROG method. I did these two hours before the night cycle so she will have the night to recover fully. (Actually I took a video while doing this, but it seems I did not start recording. Sorry for that.) Day 38 -This is how I LST and mainline the plant in video.

A beautiful orange smell !!! 🍊🍊🍊🍊

This was the girls last week! I decided to call them finished on day 63 the tricomes are almost all cloudy, with a small amount of amber. I’ve learned that they continue to degrade as you dry and cure your flower, so I’m trying something new for me, and pull them a little earlier than I usually would. In addition, after watching a podcast (Dude Grows Show) if you don’t know, check it out… I decided to run the lights for 18 hours instead of 12/12 for the last 5 days before harvest. The idea behind this, is to stress the plant enough to increase its natural sunblock/protections, which would be terpenes and tricomes just before you harvest, while also possibly quickening the finishing time for your plant. The group was discussing the benefits of this (listed above) while some already had implemented these practices when finishing plants. The recommended time to run extra light time would be around the last 5-9 days of the plant, without having any nanners or weirdness happening with your plants. Anyways, they finished amazing, sticky, stinky and heavy ❤️ the Terps are crazy on these strains….Harvest details to come. Thanks for stopping by 💚🇨🇦👊

Final 2 weeks and im finishing her off with just 1ml/l overdrive

After more than 100 days she was hung up to harvest 👍 Hey Guys :-) It was hung upside down in the drying tent for 10-14 days at a temperature of 18-19 degrees and 55-58% humidity before it was trimmed clean by hand and put into the glass with Boveda 62%. The glass was opened every day for 15 minutes to air and the buds were taken out individually for the first few days. Now after another week the pictures were taken then put back in the jar where they now stay complete for 4-6 days. After another 2 weeks, the Boveda 58% comes into the glass and it's perfect 💚😊. Report : As always, Dr Grinspoon from Barneys farm is top notch. The smell, the look is everything :-) . She has grown extremely tall as always but due to heavy LST she ended up at 70cm with a very good yield. The rest follows in Smoke report

The healthiest plant I've grown so far, no signs of any deficiency or stress, yet the buds are developing slowly. The slow bud development may be strain specific, but I am not sure as it's my first time growing this cultivar. Looks like a 10 week flowering period run.

Is she almost ready?

Added the epsom salt and calcium supplement to fix my yellowing problem and so far it’s turning it for the better!!! 😂

July 5 - other crops on the lateral branches, growing strong every day 💚🔥

Did a medium stress training on 10/15 last few days of week 5 lowering main cola from 17” to 8”. Also dropped mid colas to 8” leveling canopy. 10/17 made some further adjustments as tops and fans flipped upright. Last adjustment 10/18 removed a handful of fans to open all bud sites. Noticing a bit of yellowing watered with 700 tds dr earth bloom. runoff at 6.5 ph down to 1100 tds from last measure of 1400+. 10/18 Added another dose of dr bloom runoff moved to 1240 tds 6.5 ph. Painting Happy trees hopefully. 🙂 10/19 pm let run off settle. tested at 1350 tds 6.82 ph 10/24 finished off the week looking good. nute deficiency in check.

02/21/2021: she’s starting week 5 so that’s means she’s about 1/2 way through her flowering stage. 02/25/2021: haven’t messed with her in a few days to come back to a bunch of fading with leaves dropping off which I believe is lack of nutes. 2/26/2021: She’s smelling very sweet there’s a little red tint coming in on some of the leaves that faded but not falling off lol
