Indoor Maybe I was expecting too much... anyway, onward and forward!

[Corum59]

35 days under the lamp, forbidden Runtz (front right and left, right rear) are all different., even the runt in the small pot that just doesnt seem to do anything.
The FR says on the write up that i should expect 80-130 cm tall, so far they have not filled the 35 cm square allocated to each plant, stretch seems to have forgotten to happen...and they only have 4-5 weeks to go, according to the writeup.
The Gorilla cookie (left rear) looks ok, although rather spindly, not much stretch and not producing many pistils,

Anyways... onward and forward, nothing to lose finishing the run I guess and only 4-5 weeks to go.

and its been quite cold since the 2nd week in the tent, so I closed the vent flaps, and connected a hose to the rear inlet to run air up te sides of the tent all around, to try and keep some temps around the plants, I am pretty sure the cooler temps are a part of the issues.

I do find it amusing that I paid 11 euros each for 5x "42fastbuds Forbidden Runtz" seeds that are all different, its almost as if they filled the capsule with a mixed batch by accident.....

oh yeah, I also added the 2 red cobs, so now have all 8 cobs @ 220 watts, = 27.5 watts per cob. Maybe the added red will induce a little stretch.?

managing to keep a flat canopy so far, not so easy with 4 totally different plants (hard to believe the differences in the 4x 42fastbuds Forbidden Runtz)but hey, its all part of the fun innit.

thought I would spray the little one in the blue pot daily with coloidal silver to see how that shit works out.

the thing in the middle is a 12v 120mm fan, printed cover, and a printed 4 way diffuser type thing, cobbled together on tinkercad... might as well make use of my sons 3D printer while he is away

Got some yellowing and brown spots. Calcium/magnesium/flutuating Ph??????

trundle, trundle, looks like a potentially small harvest, IF any harvest.... but lots of learning I guess.


all 8 cobs @ 220watts, the reds are quite noticable

Here we go again with this mixed bag of plants and pheno's...

in order, top down view, bottom left Forbidden Runtz, rear left Forbidden Runtz, rear right Gorilla cookies, front left forbidden Runtz, small thing in blue pot Forbidden runtz runt.

some close ups because, well, why not.

side view with and without lamp

I have to say that I am not impressed with the quality or consistency of "42Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz" in fact ,I am certain that I will not buy their seeds again.

I think I will be lucky to break even on this grow and its certainly going to be a staggered harvest even though there is only 4-5 days difference in popping time across the 5 plants.... ah well such is life, Onward and forward.

I shall do some defol and the rear plants see if that gives them a boost.

Scabby little fuckers once they have been defoled a little.

The apartment stinks to high heaven and beyond.

I woke up this morning had my coffee, watched the race live, went to check the tent and my lamp was off, switching it on/off failed... arrrgh!

after some investigation is was simply a connector on the solderless IDEAL holder... I guess I must have knocked it loose while defoling and the connection failed sometime since, 18hrs or less... anyways, shock over and done with, i bent the pin a little, tightened the clips and popped the plastic part back in place and now its all bright and wonderful again.... pheeeeuw!

not a lot to say really , these plants are beyond my years of acquired knowledge... The Forbidden Runtz are frikking wierd, the Gorilla cookies, looks pretty normal but seems to be a month behind my expectations and the writeup, ah well, great expectations and what not.

All five, FR, FR, GC, FR, FR runt being sprayed with Colloidal silver see what I can learn from all of this.

 

[Corum59]

no balls yet with the CS spray,





But the rather small buds on the FR are fairly sticky and smell wonderful so thats a plus.



taken with my Nokia PL2 and a 3euro micro lens...because, well why not.

all the tent small fan blowing some warm air down, the PC fan and diffuser blowing under the canopy.



in order, Forbidden Runtz, FR runt, FR, FR, GC.






Canopy

the difference in flower growth.








Its hard to believe that there is only 4 days difference since the popping and that 4 of the 5 are 42Fastbuds forbidden Runtz from the same packet..

Anyways such is life, according to the writeup, these should be finished in a couple more weeks, Personally I am thinking 4-6 weeks longer...ke sera...sera...

 

[Corum59]

pics in order.

looking down all plants, canopy cross view, Forbidden runtZ, Gorilla Cookies, FR, FR







The two at the back FR & GC are about what I was expecting... the rests.... well, helll.............

Sauntering along week 8 under the lights... not a lot of change

The FR front left is close but no ambers yet, the FR front right is living through a 2nd spurt it seems, the rears are.... well, bringing up the rear, so to speak.

In order, FR front left close up, top view, front left, front right, rear right, rear left.
I am 100% sure that the cold temps have slowed these girls down to a crawl, harvesting the lamp heat and recirculating it through the cupboard seems to help, but when the lamp is off its cold.
Such is life when gas heating is beyond acceptable.
