Pineapple Express Auto

Me either and by the progress of yours i should be about to enter that stage soon, cant wait!

Hey bro, nice grow you have here. A few small tweaks can be the difference between 1 oz per plant and 3-4 - but it depends on how much effort you can put into it. Firstly, you’re using a 400w LED. These can be left on for 24 hours for the first 2 weeks. Just on Blue spectrum. Make sure you add CalMag and some quarter strength salt based nutes from day zero. Be careful not to have your lights too close in the first week. After 2 weeks, turn on the bloom spec also and switch to 20/4 for a 2 weeks. Feed full strength nutes and CalMag. Get your light close and get as much out of your veg period as possible. Change to 18/6 and keep full feeding with full NPKs, micro and trace elements - this will give you those full range of smells and flavours; and make it frostier. Cut away the extra nitrogen after week 5-6 and make sure when you feed, you fully saturate the pot and have at least some run off. Also, I’ve found you get better growth if you mix a good sifted bag soil with 30-40% Coco coir and 10-20% vermiculite and perlite. This will give your roots constant oxygen and retain moisture without your soil getting boggy and anaerobic. Sorry if I’m telling you how to suck eggs. But I get excited about growing weed lol. My Pineapple Express smelt like Dettol disinfectant when it was a few weeks out, then once it was harvested and cured, has a real sweet pineapple chocolate smell with a hint of dettol. Super chilled happy smoke. My new one is in day 28. Good luck bro, I’m looking forward to seeing how the buds turn out.

nice! i can't believe how fast the buds are fattening and frosting up on this strain. from day 39 to 49 on mine was a huge difference.

Hey bro, nice grow. I’ve done a few of these ones and they are a pretty good strain. Only bit of advice I could give would be to feed your autos from the day their second leaves shows. And if you’re using LEDs, hit them with a full dose of CalMag every watering. You also really need to cut the A’s away about 2 weeks into flower and just rely on the small amount of N in the CalMag and Bs. If not, your calexes will start to re-vege towards the end of flower and you end up with bananas popping out all over your buds with new white pistols. If you want frost? Use probiotics and an unsulphured molasses - add to that your organic feed like sea weed extract for PKs and a good organic fertilise fornyour soil (chook shit). This helps your plants immune system, which ultimately means stronger smells and larger, stickier and more trichomes. Trichomes are the plants defence system and the plants need a large cache of organic nutes to express their true nature, which is always results in a much better high than salt based nutes alone.

Cheers man, It was an experiment from day dot and im happy with how its going thus far, seeing as its still an experiment somewhat im going to drop night temps below 10 degrees to see what different colour pigments i can get from this particular phenome, hopefully something really pretty

nice colors

Looks really healthy up until 2nd week of flowering as you said, i cant beleive just soil got you that far, smart move introducijg the nutes slowly instead of full dosing aswell, wouldve probabaly fried her if you did, good job
