I am using two regular pineapple Express seeds from Premium Seed market.
After watching the movie again, I decided to pop these seeds
Wanted to give another breeder a chance and see what I could do on a budget basis with old, reused soil. The soil I use is from my first row where I had nutrient lockout in the last three weeks so hopefully the soil Will be OK. I did flush the soil with approximately 9 gallons about two weeks before harvest so hopefully it shouldn’t be much salt buildup. although I think I read that flushing really only gets rid of nitrogen, so I may have some problems. If it doesn’t work out, I will not hold this against premium seeds market.
This will give me a good chance to really read my plants.
I will keep in 1 gallon buckets, and I will flip these at the same time as my other plants that have a month Headstart.
As the seeds are relatively low cost, at two dollars a seed I don’t have much to lose.
I will need to be diligent about checking the sex, since I don’t want to ruin my crop.
If one or both are a male, I will try to find another place in the house and immediately flip to 12/12 and try to flower. them out and save pollen, or use one 1 of my future clones.
