First grow attempt- 4 Runtz Photos

Luckily as mine reached later veg it regularly had 5-7 fingers. But it’s strange seeing a 4-5 week old plant with 3 fingers. Probably genetics.

Could be genetics. I’ve never had a problem with mephisto genetics where I got these autos from. But very well could be.

Yea mine are from ILGM, so not the most reputable genetics. I’ve tried to germinate 10 so far, 2 never sprouted and two have mutations so far. Luckily, some are more saliva than indica and some are more indica than saliva, so the genetics worked out that way in giving a variety.

Never heard anything bad about ilgm. I think people just like to complain about the price. Ilgm GDP beans have big yield

Yea, besides every 1/5 seeds not popping I haven’t noticed much. Sure if 25% of them have mutations they aren’t the most stable but I got 20 runtz seeds for 120$. Plus they also do say 80% germ rate so they are exact on so far.

I grew their super silver haze and was very happy. They are kinda deceiving to a degree with their sales. The only way to get a good deal is to buy double the amount you intended to buy. That’s probably why people talk trash about them.

Exactly what I did with the runtz, wanted ten got 20. It was I think 20$ more for an extra 10

Day 73, 16 of flower:
Nothing to add, been slowly upping light intensity by maybe like 2-3% each day. What do you guys think?

Looking good

Day 74, 17 of flower:
Was planning on watering tomorrow since I’ll be out of town until Monday. Do you guys think nutrients or just water with calmag? This is them minutes after lights on.

First lollipop, what do you guys think? Inline fan won’t be operational for a few days, gonna mount it and push air outside the house. Does this look like a good job? What would you guys change? Watering tomorrow.

Day 75, 18 flower:
Watering later in the day, super light pots. They seem to not be stressed from the defoliation. As i’ve been turning the light up little by little, temps have gone up a bit. What do you guys think?

Looks good, make sure those seedlings are well watered if it’s going to be a few days before you can get back to them.

I’ll have someone to mist them everyday luckily. I just don’t trust them to water the bigger plants.

I would be careful about misting anything that is directly underneath a light, those water droplets will act like a magnifying glass on the leaves surface and cause burns.

Day 78, 21 of flower:
Back after three days, not looking too bad. My seedlings I started don’t look the greatest, I think the person I had to mist the soil must have went too heavy, do you guys agree this looks like a case of overwatering? I turned the light up about 20% power since they look to be stretching. Planting another seed now. What about the main plants, how would you say they’re looking? Definitely look a bit too light of a color.

Day 79, 22 of flower:
From what I can see, I would say these plants are hungry for more nutes, would you agree? Definitely a Magnesium deficiency, but one plant ate some of its leaves, pictures below. There are also some spots starting to show up, not sure if this is deficiency related. What do you guys think? How would you help these seedlings that seem to be struggling?

Coming along great, looks like an early sign of some sort of deficiency, possibly magnesium or a calcium but really hard to tell. The petioles look purple which can be a sign of mag or phosphorus deficiency. What is the Ph of your feedings? Without going through the 11 pages, what are you feeding the girls?

Seedlings look overwatered. I’d allow them to dry back before next watering. And you mentioned having someone mist them daily, I would avoid watering daily especially seedlings, that’s how they get overwatered even if it’s only an oz of water every day.

Yea, it’s hard getting someone who has 0 knowledge of anything horticultural to look after plants, but no irreversible damage so I’m happy with it. I’m using general hydroponics flora series, so synthetic nutes. I don’t PH my feedings just because I have FF which naturally balances PH and the first two feedings I measured and they were around 6.6-6.8.

This was 100% what I thought as well. I use FF happy frog and ocean forest mixed at 50/50. I use General Organics and stopped Phing when I read their label saying phing isn’t necessary. And then read a lot on here you don’t need to ph FF soil because of the buffers. So I stopped doing that to save time. I ended up with serious lockout with my grow and it started just like yours. The splotching and the purpling was minimal at first so I ignored it and thought the purple was genetics. Then it locked out nutes causing a phosphorus magnesium deficiency. I am fairly confident it was because I stopped Ph’ing. Also, allow the general hydroponics nutes to sit for 30mins before using, it’ll bring the Ph back up and then ph up if you need to. Phosphorus needs a ph above 6 for uptake. Another thing to consider is order in which you mix your nutrients if you are using a silica, add to your water first and allow that to fully dissolve before adding your cal mag, then add your base after that. Wrong order can prevent cal mag and other nutrients to be able to be up taken by your plants.

I try to do only the nutrient line the one watering then everything else the second watering, but of the times I’ve PHed I’ve never had to add ph up or down, I have two huge bottles untouched. It wouldn’t hurt to ph again if you think it’ll help, though.
