Indoor kfigerm tries his best

[kfigerm]

Yesterday i chopped the glue gelato.
The lower buds were not as dense as the main colas but they are nice. The first 80g of dried buds are already in grove bags and were already smoke-approved. No Damage on her, no budrot. The grow was fast and easy.

Now there are the remaining two ladies filling out the space.

wedding cake

going grat in the upper parts, colas are swelling up and gaps between buds close.
All well and only little damage still in the underskirt

mimosa cake

Upper section healthy and green and also very little damage down below. Cos there was mold on the pyramids due to no airflow because of the lower fans, i already removed them..the smallers aside also degrade now a little, but also very slowly and I see the N def, that I do not care about at all ;-)

Have a nice day and stay safe!
Cya monday.
Cheers!

regular monday update.
The two girls speak for themselves. Nothing else to add from my side. All well, except i won't move the mimosa cake anymore, have to find a way to keep her up.
I raised the wedding cake a bit to get the tops proper light.

The mimosa cake seems to be en par with the wedding cake though she is much younger

The glue gelato was in cure now for a week and i opened one bag today - a nice creamy carmel scent. Fits perfectly to wintertime.
The "second flush" is still drying for two more days. I am happy to have grown this cultivar.
Cheers!

So here is the girl

that gave me

309-4x21g weight of a bag =~225g - and about 15 are already gone with the wind so there was abount 240g
not too bad for that really nice and fast girl. Smell is sweet carmel and I am very happy with the smoke.
Now let's see what the last two will do the next days to weeks.

Note to myself: go and order some grove bags!
Is the european store already open?

Cheers!

Nice harvest @kfigerm !

 

[kfigerm]

well @Rick Dirte' - always trying to beat my best grow.
Until now i have some progress in this thread. But i guess i am reaching a maximum that my tent can hold. I will stick to 3 plants, perhaps growing the big sativas, I even go back to two, thats to be decided in the future.
But i will still try to beat my ever best grow before.
Until now i only know that the setup works fine and all fits to my lazy grow sytle.

I am having fun, hope you all as well.

Cheers!

The headline tells the story - all girls are gone. It was a lot of work for a weekends night.
The last pics of the girls alive.
Couldn't do good pics, because I didn't want to move them too much with all branches on.

wedding cake grew nice but waaay too dense - if the grew higher or i would have been able to open her up more, there would have been much more of valid nice tops - but they were all in the dark and couldn't develop well

the mimosa cake has really hard an dense buds - even the lowers are well formed bracts, really "photo" sized.
Also happy to have grown this cultivar, very easy (except extreme stretch phase) and fast.
Couldn't move her because i tied some of her branches.

I know, this pic doesn't do her right, she might hold even more weight than the dp ultimate did in weight - the buds are realllly heavy and dense.

Now all is drying in paper bags. I expect fat numbers on the scale.

Cheers!

thanks for the reps @idiopathic neuropathy
I am not into chatting and socializing much - there's work, a fam and the hobby is still illegal here.
So in the chats I presumably restrain most of the time.
But i want to share what i do and document to others. I took so much from here, it's about giving back AND having fun.
Having a nice growdiary is nice also, I profit also documenting all including the mess. The better others can draw their own conclusions.
So i appreciate very well that you like the style - my photos won't win a pro contest ;-) I am really sad now that i didn't take better ones of the ladies.
Cheers!

So you saw already the nice 240g of the glue gelato - really nice buds.
The further stuff is mixed up and it feels odd to take pictures of bags - so just the text version here
the wedding cake gave me fine 120g of buds and the mimosa cake had 100g on the scale...all in grove bags and stored.
But that were just the "buds".

There is more

the colas - substracted the stems are another (94+76-20g wood)150g of finest weed.
I will keep them in brown paper bags for 2 more weeks on a cold attic where they dry very slowly and mold cannot grow - there are some celebrations ahead next years spring, tho which they fit perfectly.

so
240
100
120
150
----
610g

the calc this grow

Seeds:6 seeds 60€
plugs 6x20c = 1,20 €
cubes 4x 1,15 = 4,60 €
Pyramids 3x 13€ = 39 €
------
108,20 €

~ 110€

fertilizers 2,0 l
~20€

power:
675 Kwh
~700*0,4/kwh =
~280€
####
the lights took much more current but the costs are worth it - see below

Water and stuff
~50€

Calc:
110
+20
+280
+50
=~460€

/610g

that would be 0,76 €/g

If I had the less costs from the failing seeds i would be at the same ratio (0,70€/g).
So overall consumption rose but costs per g stayed the approx same.
The lights are not "better" in relative weight wise, but they make nicer buds and the plants are on time.
But it was MORE BUDS - so the absolute result is bigger at the same costs in the same/even shorter time. For perpetual growers this might be a reason to spend more on lights to get out more over the year.
I guess i successfully tried and have beaten my previous (550g/m²) best with 610g/m².now.
So this 70€c/g is still a my benchmark. I'll try on.

Cu after a short break in spring...well actually i'll be here but growing is suspended for epicurean purposes now til spring.

Cheers!

Nice grow, well done!

Years ago I saw these pyramids at the hydro store. They were a curiosity but at the time I stayed with soil.

They don't carry them anymore.

Hi mates,
a good day today.
In my country (germ - any ) weed and growing will be legal and i can participate in raffles,grows offs and all the fun and stuff more easily.
There are some stupid restrictions, but life will be sooooooo much easier from then on and you all will get to know a more socializing kfigerm.
If I look at my stash, that will be around the time I will have to start the new grow, so that's perfect timing.

Great Cheeeeeeers! today!
