@DeepWaterGrower, Yes, Sir, this is a very hearty strain that throughout the grow becomes increasingly hungry for nutrients. Feeding her early likes this gets her appetite nice and ready for the later growth. I think my last grow I got her up close to 2000ppm at one stage!!
@DeepWaterGrower, she is bent, just under the scrog net not tied down just yet, post picture for you bro.. have to get some more tie soon from the shop, may just keep bend under scrog
Hi there, great to know you enjoyed growing our Pineapple Express Auto. We canยดt wait to see how this turns out for you!! Happy growing!!๐จโ๐พ๐ฒ๐๐
@Fast_Buds, The Pineapple Express never made it past germination, the root never grew more than 2mm after 7 days from the seed, never sprouted. Switching to Blue Dream Auto.
@Qutro, Yes, when you mention Blue Dream, I had remembered I had bought this seeds back years, and always want to try. it is so many people's favorite, but I have never tried! ๐
@Tropicannibis_Todd, thanks a million, and thank you for the support! Every little bit always helps. This one sure does look like some good smoke, smells like it also. I will be sure to give a good review once I try some!
@SwissKush, I've grown a couple out in the woods years ago but not autoflower, they were nice but nothing like the plants we grow nowadays. It's different growing when you only see your plants once a month. You never know what you are going to find when you go visit
I have a blue cheese outside now I'm really impressed with, I planted it for someone and they decided not to take it so I just threw it out in the corner of my yard and have been watering it. It's a photo that was planted in August It's about halfway through flower now, I'm hoping the weather holds long enough for it to finish it's doing really good I'm very surprised ๐ฎ ๐
