Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Runtz plants will perform great in warmer, moderately humid environments. Ideal growing conditions for Runtz Auto plants require a temperature range between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. You will want to use an 18-20 hour lighting cycle during the vegetative stage to maximize growth. Then shift to 12 hours of light, 12 hours of dark to initiate flowering.
• Moisture control: The humidity needed to grow the Runtz strain is ideally, around 50-60% during the vegetative stage. Drop the humidity to 40-50% when approaching the flowering stage. This will keep mold and mildew off of your buds.
• Training Techniques: Runtz plants can be trained using the Screen of Green training technique. SOG essentially means densely planting cannabis seedlings and transferring them to the flowering stage a little early. This will maximize yields with limited space, ultimately making the most of whatever space you have to grow.
