The whole grow experience started with some issues, because I moved from my old house to a new home, as a result the seeds popped and growed the first weeks under the sun,through the next weeks the consecuenses are obvious. I truly loved "the plant" from my early youth,and spent time and passion on this project I hope you enjoy it.This grow has been realised strictly for reasearching and self use.Its. IMPORTANT FACTS -I didnt uploaded any video cause I dont have a camera that allows quality records. -Please feel free to comment and give ideas or observations! -The bulb is a 630w Lec 4200k,not an hps, I also employed the superspreader to avoid some degrees, until the day 55, when i removed it to increase the light at the center of the canopy. -This was my first grow,but i´ve been involved with the plant since my childhood (not using it),but seeing many grows and conversating with many growers (with different techniques and "ethics") in my life,I payed full attention to them,but all I can said is that every sittuation is different so is recommendable to mix instinct,knowledge, and of course logic.

Maybe some sort of stress defence mechanism. Would be very interested to know how well this plant performs to the others. Could potentially be a genetic thing.

The plants are growing right(I think) but due to the lack of light they continue stretching,(three days it rained so they received less light).I also started adding potassium silicate to improve the canopy structure, addint strenght to the branches, it also regulates the nutrients disponibility. The output ph was 6.2 and 0,4ms EC

We enter the third week with emotion,new home for both of us, It looks like they love it!,they also stressed a little bit on the move and cause of that I think that they entered preflowering stage.I also gave them more space transplanting them to 7.5 liters pots, adding some Mykos (2 tablespoons per plant,covering the roots, in ordere to boost the roots developing,and the nutrients income. The output ph was 6.2 and 0,5ms EC

As you can see the effects of a long vegetative period are now pretty obvious, some of the plants are growing closer to light bulb, but due to the fans theyre not burning,anyways next week ill put them 10 cm below.Because of the colas developement I began to use pk in orther to add the beneficial extra bloom nutrients. The output ph was 6.4 and 0,9ms EC

Welcome back to the jungle! Im not a fan of prunning or cutting the plant before it is ready to harvest, but as you can see on small spaces it is completely necessary to control the grow of the plan in some way or the things can go wild,I think that for the next grow I´ll leave the wild outside. The output ph was 6.4 and 1,15ms EC

We enter the final week with emotion, all the buds nearly doubled its size ,the height of many overpasses 30 centimeters,covering themselves with trichomes,fragant smell of tropical fruit with some acid notes invades the room,i think lowering the night temperature helped.I also removed the superspreader with the intention of aumenting the light at the center.Cause of the calmag isues on 2 plants and the yellow tips on 3 of them I wont add more nutrients, from now Ill wash the roots for 10 days. The output ph was 6.5 and 1,2ms EC

I saw it as a dreaming becoming reality , because since I was 14 years old I couldnt see the time when I will be growing my plants(My parents didnt let me grow at home or even use the plant,now after many conversations,they completely accept it,and also demand me seeds,and even flowers), an now I can do it, I own a tiny garden ( 3m) but it is mine and this is a great feeling, not only for owning something )just for the possibility of growing life,life that will help the people I love to have a better life (I have ill parents both from chronic diseases),I discovered that you can learn a lot growing a plant,compiling, after this wonderful experience I can say that I´ll work hard to achieve higher,stronger and healthier plants, cause this is the plant that I love.000000000

Hello ! I would go with the pinneaple express as I tried the feminsed from G-13 lab and it was a real pleasure but the tangie have good feedbacks. You can take a look at all my autos diaries as I'm only growing them with 12/12 schedule as it is the sun schedule in my area ( I'm an outdoor grower ) , I am always pleased by the final result but I think that a 18/6 shcedule would give me a better yield , so if your yield is not a priority then you can go with a 12/12 schedule. I hope it will help you 😁👍
the end.
