11/28/23:
All 4 seeds have popped between the 2 different strains. 1 out of the 2 seeds for each, have fully emerged out from seed. Will be relocating all seeds to nursery pots 11/30.
Switched lights from 24-0 to 18-6 schedule; expected to continue until 12/17 where it will be tapered to a 16-8 schedule for 1week
11/30/23:
First day in new pots, transplanted with Recharge around root zone.
Will be fed only water 2x day until Veg starts next week.
First day of Veg : 12/3/23
- Will be feeding & watering 2-3x daily because of coco-coir media
12/5/23:
Been away for a couple days, was having some problems with the lighting schedule turning off when should have been on. Luckily still early into the project, so it shouldn't really have much of an effect.
Today is the first day of nutrient exposure. Used the tiniest amounts in solution for initial exposure to prevent shocking/burning. Will be fed only water for the rest of day for safety.
12/6/23:
Worked out the lighting issues, so should be operating at 18-6 properly.
Feeding Breakdown;
* Serving the Nutrient solution as the First feeding application*
- Water = 2 /3feedings
- Nutrients = 1 /3feedings
12/7/23:
Will be given Recharge only for Nute solution for the day.
F.Breakdown;
- Water = 1 /3feedings
- Nutrient = 2 /3feedings
12/9 -12/10/23:
Left to Dry
F.Breakdown;
- Water = 2 /6feedings
- Nutrient = 0 /6feedings
12/11/23:
Plan on increasing Nutrient feed frequency with also a slight increase in nutrient solution strength for Week 2.
Still going with 18-6 schedule this week and will taper down to 16-8, then 14-10 or 12-12 depending on if sex is being shown at that point in time.
F.Breakdown;
- Water = 0 /3feedings
- Nutrient = 3 /3feedings
12/12/23:
Had some extra solution left over. Used that for the First Feed and water for rest of day.
All progressing at the same rate and working on the 2nd tier node
F.B.;
- W = 2/3
- N = 1/3
12/13/23:
Left.To.Dry
F.B.;
- W = 1 /3
- N = 0 /3
12/14/23:
Good Day
F.B.;
- W = 0 /3
- N = 2 /3
12/17/23:
Both S.G.Gas seeds showing signs of nutrient deficiency; with yellow/white and brown spotting on newer leaves. From my understanding that means a lack in the Calcium, Potassium, and Manganese department.
Will start feeding nutrients every day at least once, with the rest being water this week to see how plants respond.
12/19:
Recharge Day
12/21:
Transplant with Recharge at root zone. Healthy white roots with all seeds
All seeds been looking a lot healthier in the nutrient department. S.Gas seeds enjoy the high feeding regiment.
Still getting the watering amounts adjusted so the medium can dry enough between feedings. Pineapple Powers would show small signs of overwatering; should level out with being in a bigger pot
16/8 Light schedule will start next week. Want to get all issues under control before committing to a full 12/12 schedule til Harvest.
Last 3 days of the prior week I was away; although the medium was moist. All plants showed heavy signs of hunger with lots of root growth.
Will continue to feed daily and mix in a Compost Tea sometime this week.
12/24:
I picked up another set of LED light strips to layer into the box to experiment with. These specifically only shine Red&Blue. Since I’ll be adding them into my lighting schedule; for the first couple days i will still keep true to the 18hr schedule with main lights cutting off 2hrs early.
By the end of this week I plan to be running at a consistent 16/8 schedule. My main lights will be set for 14hrs leaving those last 2 hours for 🔴🔵 lights.
12/26-27:
Fed all plants with Compost Tea brew
12/29:
Plants chugging along, been feeding a steady 2x a day with adjusted amounts of water for efficient runoff.
Towards the end of this week I have been gradually dwindling the light schedule. Plan to go full 16/8 next week; with the last 2hrs of 16 being 🔴🔵. The following week will be 12/12 following the same regiment til the finish line 🏁
12/30:
Normal feeding today. Plan to be away the next day or 2 for NY. Holiday szn is terrible timing.
So with that I’m planning on tossing out the weakest link out of each strain, before flipping and dedicating to flower.
Sucks but definitely need the space, 2 older plants ongoing, and it’ll cut my feed amounts 🤷🏽♂️.
The Goal was to finish them in 0.5gal but with the extra space I may bump the remaining two plants to a 1 gal max.
1/3:
Start of the New Year, so I’ve been away for the past 2 days. I tried to feed on the heavier side before leaving.
Will feed tonight and will cut the lights to a strict 12/12. From there I’ll see how everything is going.
Hopefully no more Birthdays,holidays,etc. The interruptions and inconsistencies definitely affect how these have grown these past weeks.
Next grow i plan to map out the szn better, to minimize inconsistencies & maybe a switch in Medium to something that retains water a bit longer.
1/4:
As expected, each plant was very hungry but held up better than I thought. Also, lights have been turned for a complete 12/12 schedule. All thats left for me is to fine tune my additional lights & 🔴🔵’s to accommodate the 12/12 cycle.
1 out of the 2 Sour Grape Gas🍇 remains; tossed one out due to it showing some male parts. Sad to see it go, but works out for the much needed space.
2 out of 2 Pineapple Powers still going so far.
1/6:
Soo as of now, I am down to 1 Sour Grape 🍇 and 1 Pineapple🍍. The other Pineapple was tossed out last night before IPM spraying
Currently been feeding 2x a day; but with the 12/12 cycle Ive only been able to feed once during Lights ‘On’.
New plant growth has been looking healthier, minus some leaf curling in the tips of 🍇. I think due to cold temperatures during the night making the medium cold as well. The 🍍 seems to be more resilient to that but still shows signs
Due to emergency, I was away for about 1 week 3 days. Within that time it was fed only once and it did not contain its full diet.
I dont have any progress pictures for this week
1/17/24:
Today was my first day back, getting in late at night. Both pots were completely dried out and showing heavy signs of salt residue on the outside of the pots. Some leaves were withered and I can tell the growth is very much stunted with just how this batch has been operating.
Still gonna push them through and try and keep it fluid here on out.
Because of the time, i only fed these plants once and during the OFF cycle.
Flushed and fed with only water to kick some of the salt off and out of the pots; while also bringing some moisture to medium for tomorrows feeding.
1/18/24:
Normal feeding today with almost all nutrients, feeding 2x today. Plants have been strong
1/19/24:
First feeding with complete nutrients.
Both plants were topped before feeding with some very light defoliation, more so to spark new growth.
No signs of flowering but still operating within 12/12 cycle.
1/20/24:
Made use of the weather since i was running behind on time. For the first feeding using just rain water and IPM foliar spraying.
Will nute feed for its second feeding
1/21/24:
Since topping last week and removing some bottom foliage, I have not noticed any new growth yet. Newer fan leaves are horizontal with no new signs of deficiencies/burns.
I’ve also decided to readjust my feed amounts. In another project, that is a bit further along, I’ve noticed some nutrient burning in my newer foliage. To play it safe I’ve dialed all my nute strengths down, mainly the Epsom salt.
A fellow of mine was saying they use about 1-2 tbsp(15-30ml)of salt per 5 gal……I was running 1/4 cup(60ml) in 1 liter of water wooops🤣 learning curves
1/24/24:
Was away for 2 days, although medium was moist the plants were thirsty; no surprise.
All new growth has been healthy and the decrease in nutrient strength seems to have helped with stabilizing.
Still no signs of flowering, thinking within the next 2 weeks. The topped node site of Pineapple showing noticeable growth
1/26/24:
Routine feeding for today.
🍍 - Showing unproblematic growth in node areas. Also seeing stretching continue in the top area where it was Topped earlier in the week
🍇 - Fan leaves are horizontal with drooping at the end in old and new growth. At nite it gets colder than I would prefer but not sure if thats the issue. Pineapple doesnt have this problem. Noticed some early flowering🌸 in some of the regions; next week will count as 1st week Flower.
Also, noticed a couple brown spots towards the tips of my newer fan leaves. From my text📚 that means either; deficiencies of potassium, calcium, and/or manganese. Or pH imbalancing. Seeing how 🍇 is a bit further along and started flowering, I’m thinking nutrient tailoring is where my problems lay.
1/27/24:
Routine feeding today. No new damaging shown.
🍇- Larger fan leaves in high vertical position with purpling appearing in the stemming. Will be increasing Epsom salt and incorporating flowering feed(Phosphorus) next week as it will be the first week of flower🌸 (1 out of 9-10)
🍍 - Steady progress. Still no Pistil action, but have been feeding the same nutrient mix as Sour Grape Gas🍇(flower transitioning) to induce flowering 🌸
1/28/24 :
Routine feeding with flowering progressing in both strains.
1/31/24:
Routine feeding. With the day off, let the plants get some outdoor light when feeding.
🍍- Flowering sites are progressing nicely. Still noticing fan leaves are curling downward at the tips. At night it gets around 62F with fans on. Medium doesnt really get too warm, so im guessing thats the reason.
Top two node regions are stretching upwards
🍇- Stretching as well in the flowering phase. Larger fan leaves are curling downward at the tips, like the Pineapple, due to temperature. Overall healthy.
2/1/24:
Little change in feeding today. Using Gold leaf, the gypsum, mykos, epsom salt, and adding the Blackstrap Molasses for today only.
Back to the usual feed tomorrow
2/6/24:
Steady progression into the second week of flower🌸.
There’s not much to comment on individually; but both varieties are still in their stretching phases with lots of spacing in between the nodes.
Overall, health has been relatively the same with no new damaging. Still some slight leaf curling on the very tips of the fan Leaves.
2/10/24:
This week I’ve been kinda experimenting with the feed; splitting the nutrients between the days. Most days i would feed just Gold Leaf and epsom salt, then Gold Leaf with gypsum and blackstrap one day, etc.
Some nice dust production coming thru on the leaves as well
Breakthrough of week:
Day 1 - g.leaf & epsom
D2 - g.leaf , blackstrap, gypsum
D3 - g.leaf & epsom
D4 - g.leaf, power bloom, mykos
D5 - g.leaf, e.salt , gypsum
D6 - g.leaf, mykos
D7 - g.leaf, e.salt, p. bloom
🍍 - Progressing fairly well. Some spotting noticed on the bigger fan leaves.
Pretty sure I wont be pulling much off this plant based on its size really. So focusing more so that the 🌸 it does give is some GAS!
Next time I run this plant, it will definitely be an outdoor run 🌦️ finishing in a 3 gal pot. I can tell it really wanted to stretch and the stress i put them under this run definitely didnt help. #learningprocess
🍇- This plant is looking to give off a lot more than the 🍍sibling. For it to be finishing in a 0.5 gal environment it has produced a nice overall height and size. As long as I can get the bud sites to rock up densely this should produce a fairly decent amount.
Will definitely give this one a Indoor ⛺️ run again under much more favorable conditions with the knowledge ive gained this run. Most likely will 🌸 in a 1 gal in the future; but can definitely get by with the 0.5 space.
2/11/24:
Progressing nicely and have been maintaining consistent feeding. With a 1 day dryback within the week, and 1x a day feeding I have not noticed many changes.
🍍 - Flowering regions are swelling and the 2 top bud sites are developing well with Pure white pistils. Not much height going to come from this plant so definitely need some good swelling. Noticing some spotting again on some of the fan leaves attempting to come in fairly lightly. This is the only one with this problem
🍇- No complaints, nothing new to report. Steady progression, not having the same fan leaf problems as the other.
Both plants are in between this Stretch & swell phase
2/12/24:
Today was a feeding of G.leaf, Blackstrap, and Silica. Want to incorporate Blackstrap at least 1-2x a week into the feeding. Also, I have been feeding epsom salt practically daily….since im more into flower I want to cut back a bit and use 5 out of the 7 days of feeding.
2/ 13-14 /24:
Dryback days 🏜️
2/15/26:
G.leaf, E.salt, Gypsum, Mykos
Both plants are swelling and developing a nice frost ❄️
2/16/24:
G.leaf, E.salt, Gaia, Si
Routine feeding; still feeding 1x per day.
2/17/24:
B.strap, G.leaf, Gypsum
2/18/24:
E.salt, Mykos, G.leaf, Gypsum
Still feeding 1x per day
2/19/24:
Dryback Day 🏜️
2/20/24:
G.leaf, Si
Got around to feeding later than usual today and pots were DRY but in a perfect way. Will try to maintain cutting my dryback days from 2x a week to only 1 day a week.
2/21/24:
B.strap, G.leaf, E.salt, Si, Gypsum, Gaia
Very weak smells coming off of both plants. Great progression coming from these past 2 weeks. Flowers 🌸 are starting to dense up and Amber🔸
2/22/24:
G.leaf, Gaia, Mykos, E.salt
Routine feeding today, and dusted the soil and leaves with some Diatomaceous Earth 🌏 .
My next run I definitely want to focus on Health
⛑️, minimizing the production of damage leaves. After i get a handle on that I’m shifting my focus into weight ⚖️; then into potency 😷perfecting
2/23/24:
G.leaf, Gaia, Si, Gypsum
2/24/24:
Dryback Day🏜️
2/25/24:
B.strap, E.salt, Mykos, G.leaf, Si
Looking to have these finished up within the next 2-3 weeks depending on the Amber🔸ratio.
Seeing how this is my first full run ever, I’m feigning for the finish 😂😂 need to rate my talents.
2/26/24:
G.leaf, Si, Gypsum, Mykos, Gaia
Medium was drier than usual when checked this AM. Starting this week until Flush; I'll be feeding 2x a day a couple days out the week. While, also keeping the dryback regiment.
This website deletes information whenever I add something new, my bad if I missed anything I had already put before.
2/27/24:
G.leaf, B.strap, E.salt, Gypsum
Normal routine feeding. Weak smells coming off of both strains naturally; but off the fingers it produces a much intenser fruity smell.
2/28-29/24:
Dryback Days🏜️
2/29-Usually i only do a 1 day dryback but Life be Life’n. Will only be adding small amount of water to the medium just to get some moisture and prevent damage but will be feeding tomorrow.
3/1/24:
G.leaf, E.salt, Gaia, Mykos, Si
3/2/24:
G.leaf, E.salt, B.strap, Si, Gypsum
Routine feeding
Week 6 🌸:
Getting closer to that Finish Line 🏁 this has truly been a marathon. Looking to have these wrapped up for a 7week Flower regiment⏰.
Since these were done entirely in Coco-coir, I’ll be feeding these until Flush🚰. Which will be the last 2 days before the Chop.
3/3/24:
G.leaf, Gypsum, Mykos, Gaia
Fed twice today, normal feed routine
3/4 -3/6/24:
Dryback Days🏜️
Personally this is too many days back to back of Drying back. But life is life, and I’ve been away.
Should be feeding tomorrow but at this point I may just get it ready for Chop
3/7/24:
Water🚿
Just plain water to rehydrate the medium
3/8/24:
G.Leaf, Gaia, E.salt, Si, Gypsum, Mykos
Fed twice today. Will be chopping start of next week. Bag & Tag Time tag
Definitely will have to give this a re-run in the future. But for the first go round and with a ton of stressing during the process; it still produces quality.
Have some further details on how it burns once its all dried & cured
