Day 39 - 5/8/2024
Things are growing very well.
The Runtz seem to have hit a growth spurt.
The Runtz x W.C. are actually growing out nice, just slower. While the weird leaves are still there (I think thats the result of how I had messed up the tail on the seed at first) the new growth all looks good.
I may be up-potting the Runtz this weekend.
They look great good thick stems on them girls. If they have a good thick stalk like that I know I’m doing something right lol.

Day 50 - 5/19/2025
Lots of growth happening.
Fed this morning and planning to top the Runtz this afternoon.
Unfortunately, I’m starting to see a little leaf edge curling.
I have moved the lights up a bit to hopefully mitigate this.
I will also take steps back in watering as I may be overfeeding.
Next week I’ll be on vacation for a week, so I’ll mix a half diluted batch of nutes for my caretaker to ease things off for a bit.
They sure aren’t overfed, very healthy, maybe a tad light on the color. Better to underfeed than over.
Looks good

Day 64 - June 2nd, 2025
After returning from a relaxing trip to Puerto Rico - the girls are still looking solid.
The smaller Runtz x White Caviar I will need to pot up tomorrow (and top them):
The regular Runtz are growing strong - I trimmed off the lowest branches, and not pictured here started some LST.
Day 71 - June 9th, 2025
Topped and repotted the Runtz x W.C.
They’re looking a little skinny, but hope they start to thicken up soon.
The Runtz stems are thickening up nicely and really taking to the LST.
Looks like you need to up your cal mag to green them up a bit.

Day 85 - June 23, 2025
After some training and haircutting things are looking uniform, but overall veg growth feels kinda slow overall, compared to past grows, and definitely compared to a lot of grows I’ve seen online. Didn’t think it should take this long to get this point.
I was kind of hoping to get in a 2nd topping, but I feel like if I do that now its just gonna delay things a lot more. I think I’m giving another week of Veg and then flipping.

I wouldn’t top again. They will flower out nice like that.
This is why although I do top sometimes as much as three times, I don’t defoliate them. I let them get bushy as they want to be until I go to flower, then I only defoliate to the point that the lower buds get uncovered from the shade leaves. Hap did teach me that taking off the bottom sucker limbs is beneficial and I do, do that now.

Thanks. Because my grows have been once a year and I skipped last year - I always forget about how rapid the stretch comes in once I flip.
Day 92 - June 30, 2025
I made some decisions today.
I flipped the Runtz to flower. This photo is a couple days old - as I forgot to get one of them. But they’re looking ready to stretch!
I also decided, that I am NOT flipping the Runtz x W.C.
I want to get a perpetual grow going, so rather than send 4 plants to flower and torture myself with a stupid amount of trimming in the end - I’m going to leave my 2x2 tent to be a vegging tent.
So I topped and trimmed the Runtz x W.C. quiet heavily, and also took 6 clones (3 from Runtz, 3 from Runtz x W.C.) (they’re uncovered here, but have them under domes)
Holy defoliation. Man these plants always amaze me how the can overcome and adapt! Nice work.
Looking great. May it turn out to be a great harvest, look forward to updates.
Day 98 - July 6, 2025
6 days from the flip
Happy update.
The Runtz are strrrtretchin and making some first signs of flowers. Probably didn’t need two plants in this tent…oh well!
The Runtz x W.C. are happily returning from their major defoliation.
And! I redid my entire cloning setup.
I found a bin with an old cheap blurple light that fills up the clone tent. I know it’s not ideal as those lights are long out of fashion but it’s something and I already had it. So I’m going with it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that light for making clones. It’s just not a good light for making flowers! 
Day 106 - July 14, 2025
Day 14 from the flip.
Stretch seems to be slowing.
Flowers forming.
Kinda leggy but branches are thickening a little.
Did some trimming and will continue to lollipop through the week. Will install the scrog and supercrop a little at the end of the week.
The other tent with the the Runtz x W.C. is looking gorgeous continuing to veg.
But I’ve decided to gift one of them to a friend whose seedlings died early on this season.
I’ve never transplanted from coco to outdoor soil before, but so far cloning has been going well so if it’s a total loss, it’s not that big of a deal. Hopefully my buddy has good luck though!
Going from inside to out is more than the Coco to soil. The coco to soil isn’t near as big deal as the direct sunlight. Direct morning son and direct evening son is OK but leaving the shade for the majority of the day if possible. If you take a plant straight from grow lights to outside sunlight, it will fry it majority of the time. it will need time to acclimate. No need to ask how I know this. 
This is super helpful! Thank you!
I’ve made sure my buddy has a shade setup for it. Gonna use a large overhead hanging umbrella and some shade cloth.
