Hi and welcome to my grow journal No2. After completing my first successful grow there was a lot I had to learn and adapt to but all this led to me changing my growing style and actually enjoying the simplicity of the drain to waste system.
I own two tents a 3x3 and a 4x4 but in this journal I'm hoping to focus mostly on my 4x4 which I will be running runtz a freebie seed. My 3x3 will be running big Buddha cheese again to see if I can exceed my last grow which we might see little bits of but my main focus is the 4x4. In this grow I am aiming to highlight how to set up a simple drain to waste system, maximizing the potential of one seed, how to build and use a @lootznbootz ghetto cloner, a new nutrient line and of course all stages of plant growth.
The plan:
The grow itself will officially kick off near the end of April. We will be starting with getting the tent/equipment set up ready. I have already popped two seeds one of each strain which I will be taking clones from.. their will be a bit of a risk with the clones as I will be going away for up to two weeks! So the plan is to build and set my cloner ready for clones then the night before I leave I will cut 20 clones and place them in the cloner, I'm hoping on my return they will have rooted and be ready to be planted. Depending on the cloning results this will dictate when the grow officially starts
A few more finer details:
The strain: Runtz
Breeder: Dr Ray
Flower time: 8-9 weeks
Genetics: indica/sativa
Thc content: over 20%
Yeild: high
Description: Dr Ray brings you his very own take on the popular Runtz strain. This evenly balanced hybrid has been obtained by crossing 2 of the most popular strains of recent years - Gelato and Zkittlez. Runtz has got a lot of attention for its incredibly fruity flavour profile as well as its extraordinary THC levels. This delicious strain named after an iconic candy will hit you with a strength of almost 30% THC, leaving you completely sedated and couch-locked. Runtz is a perfect strain for people suffering from insomnia, chronic stress, and anxiety!

PPF: 1782µmol/s
Input Voltage: 100-277V
Actual Power Consumption: 640W±3%
Coverage Area: 5.5′x 5.5′— 6.5′x 6.5′
Lifetime: 50 000 Hrs
Driver: UL Listed Driver
Weight: 30.8 Lbs
Dimensions: 39.4" x 39.4" x 3.9"
Spectrum: Full Spectrum
Dimmable: OFF-20%-100% with 0-10V Light
Light Source:
1296pcs 3000K LEDs
576pcs 6500K LEDs
288pcs 660nm red LEDs
Irrigation:
RODI water (0 EC)
60L bin (reservoir)
Maxi-Jet 1000 Water Pump - 1000lph (feed)
Netbow Irrigation Dripper (halo)
Automatic Bilge Pump - 2000gph (waste)
Fertilizer:
Nano.10-9 Nutrients - Coco Base+ A+B, we reduced the amount of calcium salts and replaced them with a nano version of calcium. In the nano form, calcium is suspended rather than dissolved in your solution (water)
Nano.10-9 Nutrients - Root, supplies nutritional elements and biostimulants beneficial for growth. The seaweed and micro-algae give numerous root enhancing benefits, such as providing over sixty macro, micro and trace elements.
Nano.10-9 Nutrients - Flower Start, Give your plants a balanced ratio of phosphorus and potassium for an efficient transition to the flowering period. We included botanical ingredients to relieve stress during the switch from veg to flower
Nano.10-9 Nutrients - Flower Boost+ The period after the transition phase is when you will start to see flower production. Growth slows, and flowering sites begin to swell as they produce their fruits.
Nano.10-9 Nutrients - Finisher+ nano.10⁻⁹ finisher⁺ incorporates a final P/K ratio, replicating a diminished soil. This pushes your plants to finish and release energy into oil production.
Environment:
4x4ft tent.
6inch rvk extractor fan with carboair60 filter
Passive intake
2x 6inch fans circulating
1x 135w tube heater (in tent)
1x 1500w oil heater (lung room)
1x faran HR-15 humidifier
Looking into air conditioning.
Lastly I'd like to welcome anyone with any tips, advice or questions along the way, My mind is definitely always open! there will be many pictures and updates so hopefully we make it all the way to some beautiful bud!

just hope my runtz is ready in time I'll really have to push her. 
I'm in.
. I cut holes in the lid to fit the baskets then sprayed it with some grey primer I have in abundance. Depending on what colour spray I have around I will get it sprayed up over the next two days so no light can get inside.
you know who yours was bred by?
!!!!! This was gorilla glue # 4 mixed with runtz.
