PINEAPPLE CHUNK
Hey!! I’m back with another lovely strain. Had a break over the holiday season, and I’m sooooo happy to be back 💚 After seeing the babies stretch a little in the propagator, I got them directly under the light by taking the lid off, then set my humidifier up and also turned my oscillating fan on (lowest setting) to toughen the stems up a bit before their leaves start weighing them down!! Haven’t needed to add much moisture to the pots, hopefully it hasn’t been too wet in there. Going to transplant them straight from here into my 15 gallon living soil pots! 🥦🌱👍 the cover crop came through amazingly. So thick and green! After it grew to about 6 inches in length, I chopped and dropped it onto the mulch, and will get the babies in there soon! This “germination week” has been more like 2 weeks, so there’s a lot to cram in here! Hope to be more active from now on 🌿More info on what I’ve done below

What a week, dude! That silver shimmer is positively celestial, really gorgeous and so fat. Picture perfect bud structure. These last few weeks are so satisfying, revelling in the aesthetics before moving onto the smoke you already know is gonna be bomb.
@UnorthadoxDude, buy from good quality worm farms who sell them specifically for this purpose! Honestly I’m sure there are so many biological things happening here that I’m oblivious to, but as long as I have good IPM I hope to be okay. We’ll see though I guess!
Holy pasta water how did I even miss this? I've been so twisted around lately but ugh that yield, siiiiick dude. I see you're rocking the grove bags there, I believe I'm gonna be giving those a go myself coming up. And silicon brush, you say...?? Intriguing... I'm eager for all tips! Still new to this and against machine trimming for my own buds but, I've got old eyes and a lot of snippety snip time coming up. Looking into that!
@DotMinatrix, they suppress all the smell! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, but yeah they absolutely STINK when you open them but have a really nice seal (you can also heat seal). I don’t know how they manage to make the bag breathable with no smell but I’m obsessed with the idea of not having to burp a bunch of jars every day haha
@DotMinatrix, you’re too kind!! Honestly had such a fun time with this strain, the buds are ROCK hard and it’s curing wonderfully, such a gassy cheesy stank from the grove bags. Also, regarding the brushing method, I’d recommend getting a trim tray or something to catch the trichomes. Dry trimming creates less scissor hash than wet but way more dry sift. It takes 1/4 of the time it takes to wet trim and the product is top-shelf! Give it a try friend your arms and back will thank you 👍
Hey dude, how's it going with your grow? Got that lovely hung up yet or still riding out the last lingering week like me? Been looking awesome, I'd personally love to see how it turned out.
@DotMinatrix, you’re too kind! Honestly you are a big boost to my daily morale, my first real grower friend! I’m glad our flowers synced up. Thanks for being so cool 🍃 as for the next ones, I have some seeds in the fridge from my last order (Barney’s Runtz x Layer Cake) so I’ll be giving them a go! Only have 3 and I need 2 so wish me luck!
@kizdog, there's our bro! Flower twinsies to the end, think I'm chopping tomorrow myself (grand day 100). Yours looks so clean and perfect, dude, it's like what they'd put on the cover of a cannabis textbook. Any hints on your next project?
@DotMinatrix, heyyy!!! Sorry for disappearing, been a little busy planning a seamless transition into my next grow. You know how it is. Think I’m going to chop them tomorrow or Friday! Thank you so much for all the love!
Looking very healthy. Great training buddy. Im gonna start using living soil, just finishing my bottled nutrients off. Growing is sooooo satisfying 💯🥃👊🏼👍🏼
@Drgreen13, thanks for the comment dude! Hopefully you can have as much fun as I’m having in living soil. Your plants and your profile are impressive! 🌺✌️
I have to imagine that you set your wake up alarm early every day just to have extra time to gaze upon your garden in satisfaction. Wow, dude. Like, wow. You've mentioned before that you grow for your own medicine. So do I. Mad self-agency respect. Happy growing, fam.
@DotMinatrix, you’re awesome dude! I wish that was the case. The room my tent is in used to be my bedroom so I could literally open my closet to check on them. But I moved elsewhere, so I have to commute every other day just to see my babies!! It’s helped me stop the helicopter parenting though haha
Flower buddies! Going into the same week with my crazy girl. Yours looks so perfect and pristine it's got me yearning for photo life again. I don't think it's beginners luck with that soil, bro, it's very obvious you're quite in tune with your garden. It's a pleasure to watch you grow.
@DotMinatrix, your words mean so much to me! They’re incredibly encouraging. Also not yet haha but will definitely start naming them now you mention it. All the life in the pots makes me sooo happy!
Duuuude that structure is pristine, bro. Your grow is *glowing*, I bet it smells divine! Got your next line up all planned out yet? I just upgraded my setup and am starting my first multi plant grow, I am beyond thrilled and am not above asking your opinion on it. Been awesome watching you work as always! (Oh and hey, if you're on reddit my u/ is there on my forgotten strawberries tag.)
Damn check that stacking, she's gonna be lovely dense. And such sparkles! Hope you're gonna make good use of that frosted flakes trim you'll get, every bit of them looks fantastic.
Looks awesome, dude! Just starting to play around with some living soil ideas and companion plants myself. Can't ID the bug but as far as ipm goes I really like purecrop1. Works on any sap sucker, fungicide, organic, pet friendly, yadda yadda. Have had zero complaints using through early flower. Good luck, dude!
