Week 4 of flowering is now complete, and Guava Runtz is looking extremely promising. The plant has developed a large number of bud sites across nearly every branch, and stacking has clearly started along the stems. What were previously individual flower clusters are beginning to connect, giving a good indication of the long spear-shaped colas that may form over the coming weeks.
The structure remains very open and well-spaced, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy. This should help many of the secondary and tertiary bud sites continue developing instead of becoming larfy lower growth. Frost production is already becoming noticeable on the sugar leaves, and all pistils remain bright white, showing that the plant is still in the active building phase with plenty of development ahead.
This week I performed another light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. The plant responded well and continues to look healthy and vigorous. I expect to do one final cleanup next week before letting her focus entirely on flower production for the remainder of the cycle.
At this stage, patience is key. The foundation has been built, stacking has begun, and now the goal is simply to give the plant time, maintain a stable environment, and let the buds fill out naturally. If development continues at the current pace, Guava Runtz has the potential to become one of the most productive and visually impressive plants of this grow. ππ₯π±
