After a very relaxing vacation, the buckets are bubbling again.
I'm digging back into my seed stash to take another crack at growing the super tasty, Pineapple Skunk. I had a few issues growing her previously and hope to make a better go of it this time around. When I grew her last time, she topped out at about 28" which is a perfect height for this small tent, but she wasn't a huge producer. I'll be growing two plants this time around to maximize my yield potential - did I mention this strain is super tasty?
Soaked the beans overnight in distilled water and then put her into a peat pellet in a germination tray with PH balanced water (sitting on heat mat). Sprouts popped within 48 hours. Roots started showing through pellet on day 7 and I moved sprouts into a 5 gallon DWC bucket. Top feedings for the next few days until they get established.
A bud with a very complex flavor profile, this indica-leaning hybrid is a cross between Pineapple, Skunk, and rare pure 100% indica we like to keep secret. Pineapple Skunk’s is one of those tangy, tropical smokes. Her flowers give off the unmistakable scent of tropical citrus, with some accents of pineapple. THC levels on this one have been measured between 24% and 27%.
Genetics: Pineapple x Skunk x Rare 100% Indica
Type: Feminized
Cultivation: Indoor/outdoor
80% Indica / 20% Sativa
Flowering Time: 52 - 57 days
Bring on the yum. Thanks for tuning in ✌️
@StunFlower, Oh it's not so bad. The buds look great still. The app is called PPFD meter. Migro on youtube tests lights with an expensive PAR meter (I think it's called) and said this app is within a few %. It also depends on your phone of course, but I found it to be good to identify hot spots in the tent and stuff. It's recommended to have ur PPFD no more than 1k for flower with no CO2.
@Oozle, I'm really not sure what's going on. I added an extra light in this tent (2 x 150) and I'm wondering if it's not all too much - light and heat - thus spawning the deficiencies. I should really take a light measurement and see what's going on in there. What app is it you use to measure PAR in your tents? I've since dialled both lights down to about 60% but too late I'm afraid. I've really made a mess of this one. 🙈
@StunFlower, 😂finding random plants. Awesome you are going to try and grow them out rather then just culling them. Fill the land up with cannabis plants, I'm all for it haha.
@Oozle, Thanks buddy. I've got another plant in the wings almost ready for transplant and my daughter apparently has some mystery plants she found growing in her yard that she is going to pass on to me - some cannabis version of Johnny Appleseed must have been sowing seeds in her area 😂 I have low expectations on this front but we'll see what comes of it.
Do LST instead of topping. It's much less stress and you can achieve way more colas .
Bend main cola to open bud sites then bend them and keep plant low. 2-3 weeks in veg and flip to flower. 2.3gramm per watt easy peasy
@LegacyMarketFarm, 😂 I'll keep the batteries stocked up. I don't have a dedicated PAR meter but recently started using an app on my phone - not sure how accurate it is.
@LegacyMarketFarm, There was some funkiness on the lower leaves starting to appear during week 3 of veg and then you can start to see spotting on the upper leaves beginning around the week 2 of flower.
@StunFlower, Also, Rule of thumb I got burned into my brain running the big 200 lighter facility I have the diary of, Was if you arent going through at least 1 set of batteries in your PAR meter & your therm laser temp gun per crop, You arent using them enough.
