Alien Pineapple Upside Down Runtz Muffin

Boy they were pretty stretchy and a full tent for sure.
Might have to get out the whip and chair and tame those girls.

End of week 4 in bloom. The PUDC and BM have some light burn (hence the brown leaves), so I should not have turned the lights up to full power before going on holiday, but most of the big fan leaves will be removed at end of week five anyway.

I noticed something powdery on a leaf. Initially thought mildew, then spotted the male flower on the Alien OG.

Aye, minor bummer, but the AOG is dominating the tent, so kinda hoping I won't like the smoke, giving me a reason to plant another new strain

Having said that, maybe the lights being too high-powered in the early stages of bloom stressed the plant, causing it to hermie, so will give the AOG at least one more run to see if it keeps happening.

End of week five after another defoliation. I still can't believe the BM or PUDC will finish in about 10 days, still look like they have a way to go.

End of week six.




The Alien OG buds are looking nice, but not huge. They are starting to show some pink/purple, which is barely visible in the photo:


According to HSC the Blueberry Muffin should be finished this Sunday, but they don''t look anywhere near to me, although 50% of the pistils are already brown. I reckon another week:


The Runtz has a way to go yet and is expressing some purple. Last time I grew this (same pheno) it was a disaster due to teething problems with new soil. The buds were not huge, but bigger than this and the plant was looking very sick, so hopefully this run will be better. Even if the buds are small, it's still one of the best strains for effects and flavour I have tried:


The Pineapple Upside Down Cake is also meant to be ready on Sunday (45 days flowering). The trichomes are mostly milky, but not many amber ones yet and it doesn't look ready to me. I reckon unless the smoke blows me away I won't be keeping this, as structurally and yield-wise it's not looking great:

@sybarite

I wouldn't worry about size, no matter how experienced you are or how good a grower you perceive yourself to be.

All that matters is you're growing. That takes enough guts anyway in my opinion. People's heart and sole goes into their plants.
