I put the seeds a few days in water then in the paper towel, they all came out without problems. I germinated 5 gnome seeds and 1 pineapple glue, they will go outdoors in mid-April
Today the plants are 7 days old, i just watered them with dechlorinated water at pH 6.5-6.8. Next week the light schedule will be reduced to 16 hours on to gradually get closer to the daylight hours we have outside. Before being moved all out the two plants in the cups (two gnomes) will have a repot in a 12 liter pot
Nothing special to say, i've just turned down the light schedule at 15 hours, next week i'll do the same thing turning the light at 13 hours, then they'll go outside.
I've reduced the light schedule for about 13h on and 11 off, done some lst and started feeding them with fish mix. Next week they'll go outside and i'll repot the two little gnomes in a 12l pot. I've noticed that the grow of the plants slowed a little bit down because of the light schedule, but that's not a problem for me, they're healty and happy
This week i couldn't put the plants out due to bad weather, i will put them out next week. I still applied lst to most of the plants and, guess what? They all started showing pistils! I think this is the last or penultimate week of veg. However they all seem happy
As predicted they started to bloom! I moved them all out, transplanted the two that were in the small pot into a 12.5 liter pot with the same soil, everything was fine. The nights are still a bit cool but the plants have responded well so far, they are starting to stretch and the pineapple is now starting to show its first pistils. I hope everything goes well
This and next week will be with low temperatures and continuous rain, as a precaution i have moved the indoor plants until good weather returns. They all seem to be doing well, they are stretching a lot and i can tell by now that we are in the flowering period. I started feeding them with molasses too, we'll see what happens!
I've increased the hours of light to 18 in the grow box and placed some branches well to let the light pass everywhere in the plant. The plants are not showing any kind of deficiency or overfert, on the contrary, they are becoming more and more hungry. I think it's good, right? Let's hope they get even bigger!
Nothing special to say, the flowers are getting bigger and i've started to notice a lot of trychomes on the sugar leaves, we're on the way for the harvest, let's wait some more weeks!
Flowers are getting bigger and bigger, the smell is delicious and i think we're almost there. The pineapple gonna take more time but that's fine for me
Flowers are still getting bigger, some hair are turning from white to an orangy-red colour, and that's amazing for me. I can smell some sweet notes, kush and herbs aroma. The flowers are very dense and i cannot wait the day of the harvest! I think i'll start flushing from next week or so
We're almost there! On day 77 i've cutted off 4 gnomos after 8 days of flushing. The trychomes were milky and cloudy, so i cutted and trimmed them. The weight is about 100g (3.5 oz) wet with the stems on, in the box there are two left. They'll be cutted after a week of flushing, i think i'll do that on day 85 or so. I hope to get about 50g (1.7 oz) dry from that grow!
I've harvested the remaining pineapple and gnomo after a week of flush on day 82. I've trimmed them still in the pot and after 2 days of dark i've cutted them off. Now let dry them and wait a week or so for curing, then i'll put the final weight of the grow. I suggest a dry weight between 30 and 40g
Based on my previous and actual grow, gnomo has an incredible terpene profile, the buds are really really dense and the effect are something enjoyable in a mid-late night smoke session. Despite the fact that that time they weren't that productive –as a matter of fact i'm not surprised about that, the weeks outdoor hitted pretty bad all my plants – i'm very happy for the quality of the buds. Definitely a must have in my dispensary!
We finished up that grow with a total of 40g of dry buds, i'm very happy to say that i've improved my grow skill to 0.4g/watt, the next round i'll try to reach 1g/watt with some other seeds that i have. However the pineapple glue showed a particularity stabile morphology of the flowers and terpenes. The buds are fluffy, a classic trait of sativa strains, and rich with pine and herbs aroma. It's a valid strain for active people, don't smoke that before bed because you'll stay up all night hahahaha
