Indoor kfigerm tries his best

[kfigerm]

I'll be some days off and my previous run will be finished right away, so here's a small pic of the three next ladies .
The good thing of the pyramids is visible...stacking them in the beginning if you have only limited space.

the pastic needles hold clips for the watering tube that will be installed. The containers they are in atm will all get runoff tubes back to a waste bucket.
But I will swap them with others I have around and I'm just working on.
they are all around day 20 from seeing the first tap out of the caps, just to compare them, because there were two lazy ladies.
the leftie is the strongest ..the TD, just as expected, nicely grown, her fourth branch is there and as soon as I can dee her fifth I'll lst her, she'll need it.
the girl in the middle is the amnesia...just hanging around...she had a hard time, but feels well...
the girl on the right is the triploid euphoria. She always has those yellowish leaves. I guess thats because of my transplantation "technique"...had to move her from perlite to the pyramid. But I still have high expectations.

The next two days they will have the tent on their own.
(as a "backup" für the amnesia, i put an auto ultimate in...now I think this will perhaps be a crowded area in sone weeks...foolish me)

Cheers

so I could clean up the tent and rearrange al this funny stuff.
Now I was nasty because of thinking I could perhaps do some pollen from the euporia triploid...and had to replace them.
Then a freind stepped by and gave me some root gel and told me to simply cut of a branch and do like with photos, for pollen it's enough time.
Well he is right, as I learned, and I definitely want to smoke her.
But now there are three ladies in there which all can grow big, plus the "normal" amnesia.
That will bee too crowded, and I'll have to move some girl outside one day for sure, if not two...they look healthy in the medium and like it.

still all blurple.
the dripper is all diy whith a bucket with two pumps in it outside...test done, all works and 3 pyramids should soak in 30 minutes.

the one not yet connected is the Ultimate girl, which just sprouted, still wears her helmet.
the first on the line in the right front is the triplod euphoria, always starting with yellow leaves, that become nicely green with growth. See these huge thre finger leaves...the TD already has big ones, but those fingers are salad.
the second on the line, right side in the back, is the think different just topped her above 5 branch. Will perhaps do some lst on her on friday.
the last on the line is the amnesia, small, stunted but super green and healthy.

A summary:
the pyramids work great ---solocup? recommendation for that medium, definitely holds so much water and is really easy to keep in the right condition...now let's see how they fill a tent with this litte "footprint" of a pyramid.

Cheers!

So I'm back and the girls behaved well.
I fedd the girls automated from a res with drippers, every 2 days for 15 minutes with a 600l/h pump.
All of them had the last feed a day before I came back, and I recognized the td and the euphoria were very dry, the other two smaller ones were wenn wet. So the feed was chosen halfway correct. I think with a little more feed the td would have grown more leaves, she has those thin and airy constitution I have seen the last grow, but all other girls have nice fat leaves.
System approved for shorter holidays, but now I'll feed by hand again.

so here are the stars put in plain sun for daytime:

think different with thin fingers at around day 35

euphoria at around day 35 - she still shows that yellowing but does nicely

amnesia around day 30

and the small ultimate, just 14 days old

summary for the pyramids till today: expected a little more growth, but all works nicely with minimal hands-on.

Cheers!

So after having some space trouble, because four of the ladies was too much, there are only three left in the tent and they undergone a defoil today.
In the front is the amnesia which i had to pinch and bow twice now at the main stem, to keep her low.
Everything is green and healthy and now they are all on the same feed again. Daily about 1.5l each atm+runoff.

stem of amnesia after treatment

the group - frontrow amnesia, back left euphoria, back right think different

and the canopy

Mixing nutes and feeding them is done manually, but whout any excitement still. Euphoria is a little droopy atm, nothing else to mention.

Cheers!

So it was too dark for a pic yesterday, now here it is.
ultimate at day 29.
I put a 50cm ruler in the pic, so you believe she's already at 62cm and look at those leaves

Cheers!

 

[kfigerm]

long story told short: new tent and lights for the girls. More space upwards and to the sides.
More and ....no longer blurple light. Mars Hydro FC 3000.
In this new tent the girls look even better.
So here the first pic under a new sun.
I think I can give them the full blast already, what'd you think?

Cheers!

 

[kfigerm]

so all is set and ready, little mrs ultimate is in her cabin. It was a comfortable space for thee smaller ones, but it's really just a "box" for her.
Did a little leaf cleanup yesterday already, so she comes in clean and dry.

Here is the show.

now an overview of the buds

and a closer look at one - lights out, flash spot on

so please keep your fingers crossed for me.
She is not as dense as the euphoria, so I am confident it will work out, if she isn't infected with some shit already from ouitside.
She's on day 70, heading into week 11. She looks so frosty and whitish, i can't believe she has at least 2 to max 5 weeks to go.

Cheers!

Sorry for the late update.I took a break and went to holiday.

I set up all properly this time and added a dehumifier.
The reservoir was prepared with 60l and about 15 are still left, so that calculation was ok also for two feeds a day.
Had to do two feeds, becaus my timer(s) only allowed me to set one cycle a day shorter than10 minutes. So I set up two timers with two pumps. One running 4 mins in the evening and the other 6 minutes in the morning (tested before to keep the pyramid moist all the time and not overflow my runoff-containers...actually they were DRY - NO runoff left).

This time I was really confident all would go fine, and the pyramids didn't disappoint me.
I simply made the nute mix at an EC of 800 and left all alone.
When i came back and looked at the res, there were moskito larvae swimming in it - pah, that's just some proteine food for the lady *G*

This is how I found the lady

she grinned cheeky into my face, and I had a big fat smile freezing my face for a few minutes

just look how small the bottle looks in between two out of six fat colas..that bottle was the only thing I have around for reference, most people know the size...no cans in the fridge yet.

The flowers became brownish-purple and are completely milky - they look ugly..this brown looked like mold at first, but then I checked and found only milky trichomes.
She may sit there for some more days, til the rest of the res is gone. But perhaps it won't be long. Day 91/week 13 is in the range and she looking ready.
I am definitely proud of this girl and I think she will my best yielder autoflower.

Cheers!

The ultimate is gone.
I was in the mood to kill her off now. Didn't want to stir up a new feed and the time was right.
So here are the pics taken through the process.

she gave me 11 paperbags that are drying now

Cheers!

 

[kfigerm]

so I'll start with the new grow.

I am lost a little cos my nutes have a completely other npk ratio in all three parts and hope they work out and I can find a balance.
The thing will be to try to recycle the pyramids.
But they come into the play later, for now there's just two Think Different cracking and in baby stage on their day one.
The plugs are completely fresh, one of the ladies sits in a recycled cube - she will be put onto an also recycled pyramid later.

Heads up!

To keep them moist a while.

And theres another seed still waiting to crack open...if it does there will be a threesome with another exciting "unknown" lady.

Cheers!
