Indoor kfigerm tries his best

[kfigerm]

So I am heading to some days off and i wanted to give you an update how it is going before i leave and the mice dance on the tables as we say here.
All is going smoothly - just hanging in the process to properly flower
one is still lower but i cought the big girls just right in the stretch, they would have easily more than 20cm advantage over the smallest
the complete front is the runz auto,
back/upper left is the cookies kush - the would be highest - she also throws eleven fingered leaves - the last one i had is from long ago and is my avatar pic now - perhaps it will be updated some time....but i like the crab shape of it, so i think i'll stick to it.
the back/upper right is the gorilla coockies, the smallest but farthest in flowering stage.

as you see the upper is nice and healthy.
The cookies kush also needed a lot of K and Mg and some of the lower fans are sucked and lost now - They all get the same feed and i didn't up feed to match her needs.

Lets see how they develop in the coming days.

So I am back and that is good. I made some mistake with the feed schedule and forgot about half of Mg i usually add.
so we have

the good...nearly nothing happened to her, just the fans and a little N lack because of the missing fertigation runs - in the lower back still hangs one that will be removed later. Lets see how long i can keep those yellow basterds.

the bad - all underwear is gone

and the ugly - this is how all the fans looked like, they will be taken off soon as well.

But from the front it doesn't look too bad

...not bad at all

and here a birdview pic of each

I'll keep an eye on them the next days, but i think the'll do fine.
Have a nice week and
voyez sur vos chemins

Cheers!

Sorry it's been a while.
I am still on holiday and it's filled with work and stuff.Now I found the time to giva bigger update.
First of all the ladies stretched like hell with the defoil before and in early stretch. Now I think i got a clue about the secret sauce how @420autoflower gets the amount and size of his colas - just that i should have scrogged them. Well I didn't.

The runtz as a reference the most on time and she didn't stretch too much. But the other ladies went through the lights.
First the gorilla cookies which became a real bitch. She drinks a lot and now wants still higher EC than the Runts, but the runtz is more than saturated, so i go for both at EC 2.0. The gorilla cookies still wants more and sucks some leaves up.

she would occupy the tent on her own.
but theres still the "standard" Runtz

together they look like this now

so this is the couple left in the tent. But where's Cookies Kush?
Told you she grew into the lights and had 3-4 heavy burned freshly developed tops.
->

had to take the lady outside where she is now until the End. The weather was so hot the last days she drank 10L a day EC 1200.
She had to be fixed in this heavy pot to not fall or fly away.
That's it for now - after holiday I promise to push more frequent updates again.

Cheers and have a good time!

@The Iconoclast - that's what i was thinking also...wtf...but last week i had to say that to myself cos a lot messed up
First of all the the big girl in the tent drew much to much and fell dry more than once. Anso i really got Light stress on some top colas as well, because of the lights not following the scedule anymore and blasting 100% for 4 days. I didn't realize it though i saw i needed more current overnight than usual and was about to find out what the reason was until i noticed yellowing tops on the Runtz though she is much lower than the gorilla cookies. Then i checked the app and saw the lights running at 100%. Well now i know putting too much light on them is also possible with LEDs and with a good distance of 20cm - it's the time/dli stupid ;-)
That aside not too much was going on, but it was not as boring as i like it to be.
Nutes are now for all 0-1-4-0.1 (gmbN npk 5-15-18)

first the big girls solo

and now with the runzt arranged in the front - she has a perfect life except shes dragged into a small space

the cookies kush outside is doing well, but there's not much to see and it's rainy. Not good for taking pictures.
She fell over some times although i fixed her and a branch with 4-6 to-be-colas have gone, but theres plenty left.
Now i hope they cope well wioth the weather and i have only little losses to mildew outside.

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!

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!
