Pineapple Kush

be4meliz Just starting photoperiod-4 seeds(Pineapple Kush)-4 popped -1 week in -2nd set of real leaves- 1/4 nutes in bubble buckets-under Viparspectre 300 wt. LED times 2. Little spindly starting out, but catching up now.

be4meliz 10 days in from germination-5 days in bubble buckets- just Hydroguard- Ph avg. 5.9- 3rd set of leaves showing-weird pheno,, as 2nd set has 4 leaves. Going strong! 2 days later-mild feeding 180PPM 2/2/2ea. of micro/grow/bloom

be4meliz It's a WEED, right?? For the 2nd grow in 40+ years, as a NOOB- I'm doing alright.200+ hrs. or more learning and digesting so many techniques and methods-Soil vs. hydro-inside-outside? Let's see(Just Hydro) DWC(flood& drain),RDWC,bubblers,Etc-they all work and have advantages & disadvantages( using lots of Nutes,flooding,Rootrot,growing faster & bigger than any other method, Inside all year,controlled environment,no deer/bunnies eating your crop) It's about ENOUGH LIGHT!! and knowing how to use it.Then the other part- You have to be smarter than the plant LOL- In hydro-shit happens quick- Follow directions on Nutes and ALWAYS go 20 perc. less( I have 13 gal. res.,use GH chart and cut it by 1/3 per. meas. and then base that on 10 gal. not 13( my root balls prob. make up the other 3.Biggest NOOB mistake is OVERFEED!! Read your plants-get PH pen AND PPM meter(MUST HAVE)- PH goes up-PPM down(plants eating- watch & add nutes)) PH down-PPM up(plants thirsty just add water(check Ph & PPM after) *** crazy fluctuations of PH** Salt buildup or lockout** Flush & drain(You messed up- Its that simple!!😈

be4meliz Monster Plants!! Already crowding 2 by 4 Tent- need to get my others chopped to make space, but can't rush things.PIA single buckets-3out of 4 holding steady- back left one is a nute hog(re-fed tonight) PPM dropped to 580 -All the rest steady @ 750 avg.

be4meliz Day 35- 25" tall- flipped to 12/12, 3 days ago- Drinking & eating steady- no def. or lockout- drinking 1 gal. per day per bucket times 4. Need base res, (RDWC) ,just no time; the girls are DEMANDING

be4meliz Day 43- did some lollypopping- did major selective trim( 8 by 8" fan leaves) topped more, fed, watered( ph6, PPM- ~ 800-- got ~ 20+ sites per plant if they don't stretch too much-12 days under 12/12- looking for pistils and seeing new growth(stop growin, Already! Drinking ~ 1 gal. per bucket per day

be4meliz Day 49-18 days after flip to 12/12- Ignored my girls again for 1 1/2 days and got flowers finally- After all my topping have~ 30+ budsites per plant times 4( gonna be a bumper crop)- Since we are on good terms again, I rewarded them with a res. change - running avg. of high 800's for PPM( using Lucas Formula+ Hydroguard) and avg. 6.0 0n Ph.
