Light as been at 100% since day 1, slowly raising it as it grows. They got super leggy on the last grow, so I'm still feeling out the best practice for this one. So far so good, looks healthy and have been watering minimal. Today was the first day I really doused it with water, I have been just watering around the edge to force root development. Heat mat has stayed under, might keep it there for another week before I transplant to see if it really does help the roots.

Decided not to top. I will save that big risk for when I have more than one plant growing. Started LST and so far so good, looks to be going better than my previous OG Kush grow. Fingers crossed I get it all spaced out better. Gave her the most water since beginning until run off.

Lots of poor LST, adjusting here and there. But she's healthy and looking to be a beast! I have only been feeding her PH'd water (correctly this time) and she's loving it. When nutes are needed, plan on only doing a minisucle amount so I don't hurt the plant.

Pictures taken after just watering her. This week I've dealt with droopiness at the top, even after watering. Have only done one feeding 1/2 tsp of Big Bloom back on the 16th with a gallon of 6.4PH. Most leaves have a little tip burn, so I am holding off on going buck wild with nutes. PPM (see below) is moving down, so I assume I'll need to toss in some more Big Bloom and / or Tiger Bloom at some point. PH Ranges to date: 6.8 - 6.2 Todays Watering: 6.2PH - 70PPM Today's Tested Soil Run Off: 6.5PH - 1379PPM (D42 - 11/20/21) Previous Tested Soil Run Off: 6.5PH - 4751PPM (D30 - 11/8/21)

Fed some nutes once and regular ph'd water the next. Taking it easy, but she seems to be loving it.

Another feed w/ nutes and one without. Plucked a few that were dead. Thinking 1-2 more weeks. Sugar leafs have amber, buds look cloudy at top and less cloudy near bottom. Maybe 3 to see if she fattens up all over.

Same thing. Watered with nutes and watered without. Going to check trichomes this week. May chop on Saturday (week 13). Last grow, Pineapple Express was chopped week 12, want a bit more amber on the trichomes this time around.

Decided it was time to chop. Trichs are farther along than previous harvest, so I'm good with the end result as that first grow PE was on point and my favorite. Trim jail wasn't bad. Currently resting and burping between 63-67% Could have maybe gone one or two more days before trimming. Barely kept it at 64F/60%. Temp got as high as 68F and RH as low as 50% in my tent. Unfortunately, don't have an environment that accommodates 60F/60% - Due to high RH%, NOT PICTURED is the product in two separate giant jars split 50/50 to give more room for air flow to prevent mold.
