Well the last week of Veg is officially past! Next week will be the start of flower and then we will see how these girls really perform ๐ช.
Good week with lots going on. Day 66 took the girls out of the tent for the last time to give them a serious trimming. Were so busy before full shade under canopy, after could see some good light penetration to lower branches. Also did a redo of all the ties to really get them flattened out. Day 67 got the scrog netting installed and filled pretty much every hole except for 2-3. The tent is fully packed and ready for the flower stretch! Day 69 took off three hours of daylight and increased light to 90% (10% increase). Day 70 shortened again by three hours and another 10% increase, meaning day 71 will be first full day of 12/12 and 100% light! So exciting, always love watching the stretch and the anticipation of a packed tent.
Hoping for a smooth transition and hopefully start seeing flower signs on next few days.
Watering is up to 4L per plant every 3 days.
@Grisly, thank you! I've been following your grow for a little bit, it's actually why I chose pineapple express for this run. Hope I get some of those ๐ฃcolors like you did! Beauty plant you've got going
@Puffy_Clouds, ya she's full! I just hate wasting space ๐. Smell is quite noticable now when tent is opened, but not 'slap you in the face' strong yet
I like the video you have posted showing how to add the root stimulator. really informative and simple. genius! if you have time an equally useful video would be FIM and top videos when you do them. Your plants look like the are taking off nicely. My Purple k and original Strawberry cough didn't germinate so i had to start again with grand mommy purple and three additional Strawberry coughs from dutch passion which i planted directly in soil no germination and the popped up after 3 days.
Keep up the awesome grows!
@Puffy_Clouds, thanks for the feedback and the stoke, I'll try and remember to shoot one next time I top one of the plants ๐.
That's too bad about your original straw cough, I learned the hard way with a horribly failed auto run it's ALL about the genetics. I'll personally only buy reputable seeds now, not worth the time/cost loss IMO
Your ladies definitely look happy bro, what node did you top to? I previously topped above the 4th or 5th when not building mainlines, but thinking about topping to 6th on this run....
@Tweezer, thanks dude ๐. This time I topped at the 6th node. But prior to topping (maybe a 4-7 days) I removed the lowest two nodes leaving 4 after topping. Usually I top at 4-5 also, seems to be taking it better this time around.
@gottagrowsometime, I was tempted with the mars hydro, the price is great, but actually won the x465w in a draw at a local grow store a while back! Was so happy with it I wanted one for smaller tent ,got lucky and I scored a 40% off deal on the SQ300w. Very happy with performance and build quality, but a sale really helps.
They are the North American branch of Lumatek Lights.
@DYNOMYCO, thanks for the praise! Been really enjoying your product, first time growing it was not on grow diaries but I saw a 15-20% better yield when used head to head with no Dynomyco on same strain. Haven't done a grow without it since!
High Happiness,
looks like you have hoped on the express x 4 this year, Fantastic! are you going to do an all indoor grow this year? you plants look like they are off to a good start i will be watching and learning from your grow again this year.
I have set up my diary for 4 plants as well this time, as i had good success outdoors last year going to go outdoors again. Going to track them in grow diaries properly this year.
4 strains i got on the go this year are:
Strawberry cough (Feminized-native seeds Corp), Girl scout cookies (feminized-dutch passion), Sour girl (autoflower- Crop King), and Purple Kush (feminized-Crop King)
Good luck on your grows
@Puffy_Clouds, hey hope you had a good winter! Always wanted to try this strain figured it's about time. Will still be doing a couple of outdoor plants this summer (Bubba Kush), mostly for hash and rosin pressing. Lucky for us my wife has her medical licence and we are legal to grow 12 plants on my property (total of indoor and outdoor). I see your doing a few outdoor autos, I'll be sure to follow along I've always been curious how they perform outdoors. Can't wait to get this summer season started! Happy growing my dude ๐
