I pulled the (Probable) herm.. sad day. More room for my RuntZ Girly though, hopefully shes a good pheno. As of now shes kinda lanky and not very symmetrical. Oh well, Time will tell.

Can anyone suggest a new flowering light for me? I am paranoid popping my box open with this bright ass blurple shit. It has to fit in a 2x2 and also produce about the same or less heat than my Galaxy Hydro, but with a blue or white or yellow color to it. Thank you!

I use Mars Hydro's TS600 and it suits a 2'x2' nicely. As for the glare coming out of your box, you can do what I did and add a set of blinds which cuts down on the amount of glare the gets out into the room.

What is the exact size of the TS600? I have heard mixed reviews on Mars Hydro, but I am not against it. I have yet to try any of their products and it is well within my price range. The blinds show some real ingenuity, Ive yet to think of that. Did you just install them immediately on the other side of the door?

By 'exact size' are you referring to its dimensions? If so, it's 14" x 12" x 2". The majority of bad things that I've heard about Mars Hydro come from people that have no first hand experience using them. As for the blinds, they popped right in no different than installing in a window casing. For years, I had a sheet of mylar that would roll down but it was noisy and began to tear so I finally threw down the whopping 8 bucks at Walmart. Nice thing about these is there's no draw string to raise and lower them which is good because it's one less thing to have to deal with.

12 Days Into flowering light cycle 11.5/12.5
Flowering Day 1?
This girl has come a long way in 12 days.
Taking a step back; She was only 6 3/4” Tall when I changed gears and changed seasons.
I will only be leaving 8 bud sites on this girl, defoliating SLOWLY as I go. (Im not into the initial heavy defoliation, I only remove fan leaves blocking a bud site I plan on keeping)
Runtz Bagseed Pheno #1 (No clones taken, hopefully no regrets)
-Really showing her Sativa now, but luckily enough for me she’s hanging on to those hybrid roots of hers and trying not to stretch to the heavens.
-Good leaf structure thus far, vast majority displaying model leaves, Classic 5 jagged fingers, and a beautiful green.
-Not the thickets of stems, NO monster cropping or pinching has been done.

Watered The Runtz Girly with a light dose of tiger bloom in dechlorinated water PH of about 6.5
The ball is rolling with this girl, I need to remove the bottom growth before any real bud content forms so that they can be revegged for a buddy. Im sticking with the 8 terminals you can clearly see in the photo, I will not be removing any bud sites along those 8 branches, everything else will be stripped when I take the 2 clones from the bottom.
Who wants to predict a final dry weight for me? Thanks.

-RuntZ Bagseed Pheno #1
-Flowering Day 5
-Week 3 of 11.5/12.5 Light Schedule
-3 Gallon Pot/ Mushroom Compost, Pine Forest Compost, MG Organic no additive, and Perlite.
-Nutes/ Fox Farm Base Line
-Water usually PH between 6&7 (Sometimes I do not check the PH) Run off is low 6’s when I do check, I don’t know a lot about the effect of PH on plants. I have watched plenty of youtube videos regarding PH but still I am learning for myself.
Not much difference between my last update.
I had to move the plant into my closet. Its pretty tall, I really don’t want to apply the net I have. I thought I started it flowering at a small enough size to not have this problem. I pinned down the stems but she wants to reach. Hopefully she’ll stop vertically growing within the next couple updates. Flowering day (5). But nevertheless it has been 2 days. I think I will have to start watering once a day, shes really thirsty these days. I gave 2 cups of nute rich water this morning, starting at the edge of my pot and working in towards the stem
Here’s the pictures. Sorry I didnt turn the blurple off guys. Il make sure to get some nice photos in the next few days.

Update: She aint happy, Heres the pictures
Leaf tips pointing downwards. I doubt over or under watering. I attribute it to the temps. Sometimes hitting 81, often times sitting around 79°F.
Last time il be able to pull her out of the box for pictures. Shes gettin’ too large to move back and forth.

Its not uncommon for these newer strains to hermie. Just gotta keep your eyes open and pick the balls off when you see them. They wont regrow.

Day 15 of Flowering
RuntZ Bagseed Pheno #1
I added some supplemental lights. 1 bulb and 1 small fluorescent for two good reasons. First off, I wanted to boost my popcorn buds a little, and secondly I wanted to be able to turn the blurple off for pictures without going dark during the day cycle. Win win for me and the plant

Temps have been in check lately. 69-75°F on a 24 hour reseting acurite.

Still feeding FF Base Line every other watering (Feeding 2-3 times a week; watering every 1-2 days)
RH: 41% Avg over the last week or so
Still running 11.5/12.5 light cycle.
Plant hasn't grown much vertically in the last few days.
Moved light from 8” above to 14” above. (No negative effects noted)

Thank you! Im hoping to get some frosty buds or at least to get a delightful smoke. Theres some emotional attachment every time I grow, but I’ve never grown just 1 plant before. I never have a problem chopping. I just hope shes ready in time to go on April 1st, thatd set her at 7 weeks and some change flowering and 9 weeks from beginning flower cycle. Not extremely pressed about it, but I’d realllyyy love to puff on her a little for 4/20 this year
Question: How late in flowering can you take a clone from the bottom of your plant? If i wanted to guarantee a few females in my outdoor op this year.
Question: Is there a good organic bud sweller for later in flower? Is there a bud sweller I could be using now? Organic isnt the make or break.

There's nothing better than smoking bud that you grew with your own two hands, like vegetables or hunting for your own meat.
As far as your first question you can take cuttings up to 2 weeks into your flower. As long as there's no little furriesor flowers present, it's called Monster cropping. Funny thing true story I just took clones from my plant during 1.5 weeks into flower not even for a couple of days ago. Spookular. LOL although just to let you know when you take clones and that way they have a tendency to grow everywhere!
As far as far as a bud sweller on the organic side not to my knowledge, other than giving them a boost. I'm using Earth Dust Base and Boost for flower on my organic side of my tent. If you want liquid nutes I would look up Advanced Nutrients product line. If you buy through the website they guarantee their product. They have tons of newts, becareful though the listed doses are a little "hot". Hope the info helps. Cheers!
