They look much better without the blurple light on. Do you drain the runoff?

Thanks, I drain the run off about half hour to hour after watering. Theres almost always a low amount of water that secretes into the drainage area after that. I can’t realistically pull them out to drain them several times. They drink about one and a half solo cups every 3-5 days, as of right now anyways.

I got a turkey bag in a box via mail service of The Runtz, ive heard of like white and pink Runtz, mine was just the regular. Beautiful whitish green buds with some purple in it. Kind of circular triangle bud structure with a one of a kind smell. It doesn’t smell like another known smell of like food or candy or nothin it smells like that official kinda pungent rotten candy fruit type Runtz. Only real Runtz smokers know what I mean, im sure you’re pickin up what im layin down.
Anyway I found like 30 beans. I’ve got extras if I wasnt a paranoid fuck, I would share.

Thanks man! My pots are 10” Tall, and I have hooks for a net to install at 20”, so I will probably let the plants get about 1 foot tall and then stop them from gaining so much ground using the net. 20/48 inches. It should give ample room.

-Feed FF Bloom Ratio
-RH: 41%
-Temp: 81°F (72°-84°) <Still a bit too hot for my liking>

(RuntZ)
Height: 10 3/4” From Soil To Tips
Terminals: 6
Growing Very Fast, Nearly Doubled in height this week

(Glue)
Height: 8 1/2” From Soil To Tips
Terminals: 4
Much Fatter Fan leaves (Indica Trait Showing)
Slightly Thicker Stem

Heres some pictures! Its harder for me to get a good picture of the Runtz plant because its wider & lankier. Im thrilled with the way things are going. Hopefully these (girls) *Fingers Crossed* will begin developing pistils this week.

(RuntZ)

QUESTION TO THE PUBLIC: Should I start watering all the way to the pots edges now that these plants are getting larger? Thanks!

The girls seem to be looking good! Nice job! A small tip, when you post up pics try to have white light on. The blurple light kinda hides the true color of your plants and usually thats where you can find most of the first warning signals you plant will give

.The best way ive found to water is a to concentrate more towards the outer edges. If you constantly maintain moisture in the middle you are short changing the growth of the rootball. The purpose of watering towards the edge will coax your plant roots to extend out from the rootball to find water. Which in turn will help create a better root ball for growth. This is my opinion based on my experience, everyone has "their way" of watering. I hope you can use the info. CHEERS!

Thanks man! The watering advice is fucking gold. Im open to most things, but it makes complete sense to me, definitely will be adjusting my technique.

As for the Blurple, Sorry haha I know you guys hate it. Truth is unless I wake up 6:30 am and get a photo moments before the light turns on. Im so sketchy about opening the box when the lights are off because all the horror stories of hermies. Haha. Will it make a shit if I turn the light off for a second in the middle of the day cycle? I havent dared.. hermies horror stories. Anyway. Cheers dude, The feedback keeps me going.

-Update Update-
The RuntZ plant is a male

The Glue is throwing pistils from the new growth.

The question stands..To go for the Gorilla Food F1 or to toss the male immediately?
The bud is for me to smoke on, No worries of complainers or of people taking my precious seeds.

Also for those of you with more experience than I, a question or two I do have.

Q1. If I leave both plants together full term will there be much more seeds than if I reintroduced the male weeks later?

Q2. Does the seed need the entire flowering time to develop or will they be mature after a certain period of time?

G.I.JOSE · Feb 3, 2020

If you are trying to produce seeds might as well leave them together. The male plants will form pollen pods which wont open till they are ready.

Top pic GG4 Indoor grow
Second pic Bruce Banner outdoor grow

Usually you keep together the entire flowering time to make sure all the pollen is released and floating around your tent

If you remove the male there is a possibility that you might miss the pods opening and waste the pollen. If you want smokable bud you should remove him asap. CHEERS!

CountryFriedPotHead · Feb 3, 2020

Heres the pictures. Tell what you guys think.
I clearly had it backwards this morning, I must have been tooooo stoned. My real wonder is my Glue a Male or a Herm? Thanks.
And Yes, I took them out from under the blurple for you guys!
