First Indoor Grow Pineapple Express Auto

AntiGestrecktesGras This week, I worked with 40% of the lamp power and a distance of 60cm. I knew that the manufacturer SanLight recommends a distance of 40cm, but I was unsure if the small plant could handle that much light yet. However, after the seedling stretched a bit, I lowered the lamp to 40cm. I attached a string to the lamp that is exactly 40cm long. At the end, I attached two small magnets to keep the string straight. This way, I can easily monitor the lamp distance. Temperature and humidity are measured in the tent. Aside from some minor fluctuations, everything is staying in a good range. The plant has grown incredibly compared to my outdoor experiences. I've only watered with water that I've let sit for at least 24 hours.

AntiGestrecktesGras This week I increased the light intensity to 60% around the middle of the week. I've continued to water only with water. Around the middle of the week, I also started with LST training. For that, I'm using pipe cleaners and paper clips, as well as small ground anchors. Since the tent is only 160cm tall and the carbon filter with fan and light takes up about 40cm, the plant can't grow too tall. I'm trying to SCROG so that as much light as possible is utilized. I also have a net that I will use later. So far, I haven't had any problems with pests in this grow. In my outdoor grows, I often had issues with thrips and fungus gnats. I hope it stays that way. The leaves look really nice and juicy green. As I mentioned last week, it's incredible for me to see how big the plant is already after just 2 weeks. I'm impressed!

AntiGestrecktesGras At the beginning of this week, I was away from home for 3 days. I watered the plant again beforehand and then raised the lamp a bit in preparation. When I came back after the three days, the plant had made a huge leap. Unfortunately, some shoots grew too close to the light and suffered some heat/light damage. All in all, I think the damage is just cosmetic. Otherwise, the plant is growing incredibly fast; I'm constantly trying to pull out the side shoots to create an even canopy. So far, I've only watered with water. I think when the first real signs of flowering appear, I'll start fertilizing. The lamp is still dimmed to 60%. I'm wondering when I should start removing a few leaves.

AntiGestrecktesGras The flower keeps on growing! I am excited for the next days. Today was the first day to use some nutrients in my water. I used Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max like advised from Biobizz for Light Mix. I wonder if I should start to remove some of the bigger leafs… any recommendations from you guys? I am counting like at least 15 branches that are all on the same height… awesome!! What an even canopy. Some of the branches are on one side a bit lower though. Happy new year guys!! I just put in the net. I never used one before, as I only have outdoor experience. I am trying to bend down some of the higher branches with the net. Let’s see if it works out. Plant looked very good. But after I used the nutrients the plant looked a little bit more sad :( … maybe also nutrient lockout, because I have quite a big pot and usually with smaller pots I always watered the plant until the water ran out of it on the bottom.

AntiGestrecktesGras Update soon!:)

AntiGestrecktesGras Quite busy due to work! Will keep you guys updated.

AntiGestrecktesGras I think I didn’t use enough nutrients… leaf tips are little bit burnt, EC too high? I don’t measure my EC, only pH.

AntiGestrecktesGras Buds are swelling up, but leafs are not looking so happy. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but it does not seem to have a big impact, because my girl is still growing very good :) Sometimes, especially when the light is turned off, humidity goes up to 60%… I will try to prevent this for the last two weeks.

AntiGestrecktesGras Plant will approximately be finished 15.02! Today is the 1st of February, I am not sure if I should use nutrients one more and last time today… I don’t know if it’s some phenotype or genetics but it kinda looks weird. Gotta keep an eye open for mold maybe? Thanks bud :)

AntiGestrecktesGras Only water! 20h light due to humidity. Final week?

AntiGestrecktesGras Only water and no water for the last 5-6 days. Also no light in the last 24 hours.

AntiGestrecktesGras Successful harvest, somehow. Dried too long. Hits like a truck anyway and tastes very good when smoking. Also when you grind it up, it smells very fruity.
