Indoor kfigerm tries his best

[kfigerm]

So the Elephant is in the bags. Caught some Budrot also, but half of it saved. 4 Paperbags.
The Runtz outside is completely covered with powdery mildew and goes to the bin - She's just a +1 anyway.
The "seedkeeper" is chugging along, wonder when the first seeds show.
And there's still cookies kush auto ...today the weather was suitablke for a pic

no pests yet and standing the cold weather.
Cheers!

Day 70 and all is going smoothly.
Indoors i gave the Runtz a haircut and she will be ready to harvest this week already. She's in time with her schedule.

The gorilla cookies has very long buds that now close in to form colas. She will be a very good yielder, but the buds will be long and airy - well, that prevents mold at least. But its the second time that have this kind of bud developement to the extremes and wonder why.
she can't hold her heads up and is leaning on the wires. If she would stand straight she would be in the lamp anyway, so all is good.

and yesterday i could take a nice full size pic of the cookies kush auto outside without capturing all the neighborhood.
She would NOT fit in the tent anymore, neither height- nor width-wise. I hope i get her through to the end healthy without/little pests. This year is horror here. Lots of people have lost parts of their harvest to mold and powdery mildew. I am one.
But i call her Hope, and hope is still alive and thriving

Have a nice week!
Cheers!

Gorilla Cookies is wot did it for me as far as FB goes. although I did a final run on their BPP, and while pretty and frosty and strong, was still not as good as a spare blackberry gum I put into to a mini pyramid just to fill the space. The whole batch were very low quality bud.

So just two days and another update. Spotted some grey mold in a cola of the runtz and took her down. Most is well and ripe. All drying in 10 brown paperbags.
There are two left.
one inside

she is very fluffy but newer and lower buds form more dense - the uppers are stretched and open like pornstar boners
saw some of the spores flying in the tent when i got the runtz out...hope that will work out some more days

one outside

they all lack N now as i don't feed any. EC inside is still 1800 and outside is 1500.
Depending on how she goes, she may even return to the tent after the gorilla cookies is ready. After this grow there will be a winter break anyway, so that is an option if it's getting ugly outside to soon. Have to tie her down then, but alone she may fit in.

Cheers!

the last days of the lady in the tent are ahead of us.
She doesn't look nice, upper flowers are long foxtails and not very pleasant and still thowing new pistils and wear very little trichs.
hey will go to hash or edibles. I still have no rosin press. The more lower buds are nice and dense and will be dried for smoke.
They are ripe already.
No mold on her found yet.

not beautiful, but lots to harvest. Guess I will do it over some days but have not yet decided when i'll start harvesting.
Again not really possible to take her out for a proper picture before harvest, all front colas lean on a wire. Sorry for that.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
indoor grow is closed. The last lady went into the bags over the last 3 days...and theres still plenty of popcorn left on the plant. But I am fed up with cutting. Have more than ever.
And just for the record - i will never prove it and don't want any badges or reps for unproven stuff, but i had two punders from six plants in and outdoor ( one even metric ;-) ) although i had to dump so much of each. The DSD has so heavy rosin soaked buds, that she takes just 2(3 of the packs of the other pounder - yes, the runtz was just at about 460g dry. And the Gorilla cookies is still now on the scale.
That was perfect to compensate the nearly complete loss of two plants to mold. It was a bad year for outdoor and i was lucky to have the ladies indoor.
But hell were they ugly and hard to manage. For the next grows i will not go for yield anymore primarily, i will try to manage the girls a little better. After geting back on track with indoor autos the last years, and serve them as best as i could, i will more press then into my service.

So the lady was not presentable and didn't change much from the above pics. That's what there is left now...lights out, this dries as is. Don't know what to do with it yet.
gorilla cookies popcorn and larf left

and here is the last auto still alive, but catching more and more mildew over the past days and will be chopped soon also - perhaps this is the last pic of the cookies kush auto - very nice growth but it was a little to cold in the last days for her to bud up more. But I am happy with her. She's the nicest of all this year and is in the "grow again" list.

That's it folks!
Have a nice weekend and

Cheers!

My old fingers have a hard time trimming more than 3-4 oz at a time.

I try to eliminate those smaller buds you have remaining by removing them in early bloom, and later as they may reappear at lower nodes.

I just slide my fingers downwards along the stem and they roll off. I've seen others call this lollipop.

I only want the big top of stalk buds, not the little ones further down.

The plant is wasting energy growing larf that you don't want.

Congrats on an epic finale, we laughed, we cried, a grow of biblical proportions it had everything from a plague of mould to the final golden burning bush that doesn't burn.
