Probably new growth from a day 42 bloom boost with Dry Kool Bloom that I normally add on top of the Athena/Jacks. They always kick back into overdrive for a week or two after that, then start to senesce. The SMAC nugs are practically perfect. Trimmed them yesterday. Got a QP off of a pretty small plant. Will probably be a bit less than a QP once I do a final trim tho and get all the unnecessary sugar leaf removed.

If you check out my IG, I think the Runtz did the same thing. I kept an eye on it and it never materialized into a pollen sac.

With all the talks of testing in here, how mindful should we be about what goes into our compost pile, especially us who use it before its completely broken down

I don't like the idea of putting diseased plants into compost, however, the literature that I've seen suggests the microbial life is more than capable of breaking down pretty much anything. So it would probably be ok, but I'd probably have a separate area for composting questionable materials and let it break down 2-3x longer than the regular pile.

I want to start the KNF journey at some point, but I am not sure I am up for it.

does this disease extend to fruits and vegetables one might compost?

I trimmed up a lower branch of the PCG Runtz to test this AM. It's one of the lower branches, so they didn't get as purple as the tops, but it's hella frosty.

Nose is stronger dry than when it was flowering. Flowering, it seems kind of milder than I expected (but it was in a tent with SFV and Sour D...sooo), but the dried flower is plenty plenty loud with those sweet candy terps you would expect from a strain with the name "Runtz"

Taste translates too, at least on the first volcano bag. I've had Runtz from others before, never by me, and I'd say that out of my collection rn, this is one of the more tasty varietals. Top 5, maybe Top 3...

Resin from handling and trimming is just sticking to my fingers and gumming up my scissors. I use the Chickimasa curved scissors with fluorine coating for trimming. They are the absolute best, and often times in the past they don't really gum up, even on some of my more resiny strains like Plat Garlic and GRCxBBC, but so far everything is gumming them up and I am rubbing them down with iso quite a bit. I'm not mad tho :).

I'll share a photo once I get the whole plant trimmed and can showcase some of those beautiful purple tops.

If you do a proper hot compost with the right carbon to nitrogen ratio you can compost pretty much anything including meat and diseased plants. Most people do cold composting which will not kill pathogens. https://deepgreenpermaculture.com/2010/05/08/hot-compost-composting-in-18-days/?amp=1

It has occurred to me that maybe this strain hates the Vegamatrix nutes that all my other plants (except maybe the Koolato) seem to love. I might as well hit it with chem nutes instead at this point, it can't get much worse. I'll report back on that in a week or two.
