Back for a final post with yields and comments about the strains..........

Final yield: Purple Runtz 41 oz off of 10 plants and 37 oz off of 9 plants of the Rainbow Marker. So slightly over 4 oz per plant average.

Both strains are interesting, although I much prefer the Rainbow Marker over the Purple Runtz. Both are billed as Mostly Indicas but have a noticeable amount of sativa in the early buzz. The Rainbow has a lot of "gas" going on, like some of those gassy Kushes I used to see. Also quite a bit of sour in the smell and taste. It's really dense, I'm cleaning my scissors at least once a day, as the resin builds up quickly. It was a bit touchy while growing, I had to reduce the ppm levels about 20% of my norm and I did not over water at any time- just a daily quart or two. This is the first strain from Lit Farms I've done, I've already bought 6 more, along with some freebies I'll be giving away. This is in my top 3 over the last couple of years, I really like it a lot.

Now the GreenPoint Purple Runtz. I've spoken before about GreenPoint, they were never my favorite. I've grown more than a few of their strains years ago, and had multiple issues with hermies. Probably my grows were posted on RIU at that time, I was really pissed, sometimes getting full blown males in fem packs. Maybe I'll look for a few of these grows. Even Gu answered in some of my posts, just saying ok already- we get it, give it a rest. This strain got high marks on the reviews and comments on the GreenPoint website.

So, there's a lot of different phenos here to deal with......some are prettier, like the purple punch genetics. Others are wispier, not getting dense as others. Initially I thought the bud lacked everything but as I've smoked it- I've found some nice things with a strong buzz. Other buds are so-so, disappointing. It has more indica in it than the Rainbow, so that might be some of my buzz bias showing. It's just not exciting or interesting- it's boring.

I took both strains to 70 days, although I had a few plants of each done really early, like in the 50's. Those yielded like shit. Fun grow, but glad it's over.

I never water to runoff, ever.......I limit the amount of water, to keep the humidity down. That's why i'm watering daily. I was able to do it this way since Pure Blend Pro is organic, and really doesn't build up in the soil over the 3 1/2 month grow. I also flush, more often the later the grow goes.

Yeah I stopped the water to run off and after a few decades of growing, I will not water to run off again. The results I’ve had have been spectacular! Also you cannot trust harvest based on trichromes changing to amber, that’s wrong as well. This bro science , bugby aside I’m in control and I know better. Remember he ain’t smoking anything, other than smoke and mirrors.
