oh and after an hour or so of gentle defol,
60days under the lamp, its all fun and games innit!
some pics in order, you know, cos its mid-week and well, why not.
in the last pic you can see the filter has been moved out of the tent and dropped to the floor, needed to harvest the excess heat from the lamp to warm up the incoming air, its cold, especially at night, the plants appear to enjoy the extra few degrees..
Anyways its just sit back and wait now... patience is a virtue as they say.
front left Forbidden Runtz, looks like its done for the last 10 days, but no ambers showing yet, closeups and each plant FR, FR Gorilla cookies, FR, top view.

63 days under the light, so around 70 from popping,
No Ambers, on the front two, although I think they are getting close, the two at the rear are happilly adding flowers and budding up, slow but consistantly.
because this will be my 1st staggered harvest, and I live in a small apartment with only a single small tent, I have to improvise a little, I covered my 2nd training mesh with some mosquito netting, set up in the rafters of the tent and will lay out the buds up there to dry out, not ideal, but hey, gotta work with what we have i guess.
in order, top view, Forbidden Runtz 1-2-3, Gorilla cookies.
some trich and bud shots.
side view, rafters.
and finally,on the Forbidden Runtz runt that I have been spraying religiously with CS, is that a male flower popping up??????
On closer inspection NO BALLS... seems like the CS from Amazon was just gnats piss in a bottle with a nicely printed label. ah well.....

You can put the buds in paper bags, then just rest them on your mesh if you want to stop the trichs from denaturing from the light.
mid week search for ambers....
lost count of the days... around 80. and a couple days between poppings.
Still looking for those elusive ambers.... anyday now, any week now...next year maybe?????
anyways here are some weekend pics.
in order, looking down, sideview tent, individual Firbidden Runtz, individual FR, rear FR, Rear Gorilla Cookies, closeups of the front 2 Forbidden Runtz.
and that's all for today,
Had my coffee, done my exercises, checked in on the girls, taken some pics, updated the thread.... now time to shower and air the apartment, cos it smells like a grow tent and cooking cookies.

Front two Forbidden Runtz have both turn to cloudy/milky trichs over the last two days...

I will probably cut them down later in the week/weekend, lay them out on the drying net in the rafters of the tent, disconnect the 4 cobs on the front light rack and finish the rear plants under just the 4 cobs on the rear rack.
after Christmas I will start a new grow, I have 3 Gorilla cookies beans still in the bag, maybe pick up another 5 of those and run 6 plants see how they work out... but thats in the new year....
Also removed the training mesh as it has served no purpose for the last couple of weeks.
oh yeah... and here is my tree, 'cos, well, it's that time of the year innit

So, a decision was made and actions were actioned.
after some clean up and removal of dead/dying leafs, chopping most of the two front Forbidden Runtz, i am pleasently surprised at the density of the buds, not fantastic, but better than I was expecting and the rear Forbidden Runtz and Gorilla Cookies are also much more dense than I expected and still some time for them to fatten up...
Shots, before and after.
I do need to change the wiring on the lamp to better fit the current situation, but the apartment stinks to high glory and the world is getting active... so maybe tomorrow.
Wednesday.
Rewired the lamp, one bank with 4 cobs for the rear 2 and just one red cob for left over lower buds of the front right Forbidden Runtz that was cut down yesterday.

activated carbon refill
I just replaced the activated carbon in my main filter, took a whole 15 minutes to unscrew 3 screws. remove the inlet cap, empty the old carbon korels into a plastic bag, top up the filter, tap it down some, top up again to the brim, put on the top and screw in 3 screws.
Costs 28 euro for 5kg of 4mm diameter activated carbon korels, used 3kg to refill, which is slightly interesting as I only removed 2.5kg of old korels out of the filter.... the korels that were in the filter were 3mm (I guess that's why they fell through the filter holes and rattled around in the central space) anyway, just a few minutes easy work, and the air is been cleaned like there is no grow tent at all.
the left over 2kg might be enough for my small filter... but thats for another day.
bought the activated carbon korels from Osvalt BV via Bol.
I think I will also add the old korels to my next soil mix. I have read that its ok to do so and may even be beneficial.
