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

oh and after an hour or so of gentle defol,
  • The whole apartment stinks to holy hell, I am not even sure the defol is noticable...:baked:

    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. :baked:

    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.

    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.....

    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...
  • 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....

    IMG_20231218_065644.jpg IMG_20231218_065732.jpg

    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 :baked:

    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.

  • On the home stretch, although they should already be drying or even jarred and curing by now...

    i had to look back to start and count the days, Oct 4 all 4 had popped, so 80 days in total, and still not finished... I am going to very lucky if i get anything more than experience from this grow, I mean I will get some bud, but it would have been easier to walk down to the coffee shop and buy 100 grams and cost as much as this grow in total.
    anyway, lessons cost, time, energy and funds no matter what the subject, so onward and forward.

    In order.
    Front view, left over lower buds Forbidden Runtz, rear FR, Rear Gorilla Cookies, some close ups.
    Forgive my Nokia phone cam and my poor eye for photos :baked:

    fast dry, small, airy buds, sadly disappointing...
  • fast dry, airy buds, sadly disappointed...
    sitting in the rafters these buds dried way too fast with the strong ventilation and the heat from the lamp, and are low weight, airy and not really something to write home about.

    63grms is sad, the buds are light, airy BUT as a saving grace they are sticky as hell and smell great, however sad I am, they will add to the stash, which goes back to 2022 photo grows. they probably will lose another 10% or so as they dry down to proper storage %....

    I need another 25grms or so to cover costs +/-, comparing to the lowest priced weed in the local coffee shop,

    So I am hoping for better things from the last forbidden Runtz and the Gorilla cookies that are still in flower, it will not be a total waste, I learned a lot ( I think) .

    in order,

    2jars 63grms total, added to the stash
