I started all 4 in root riot plugs, popped in 48 hours and I planted them in these plantable pots. I soaked the Root plugs in recharge before planting, and I used Atomic Root powder from DaKine in the small pots you see.
Roots started to take here in week 2 after a successful transplant, water in tap to keep the media moist and happy. Started to show some signs of pre flowers.
Week 3 complete for these Autoflowers, Flower cycle forsure starting with these. I've watered every 3 days roughly , keeping the coco moist but not soaked. I lift my pot when I water to get a "Feel" for the weight. Knowing that weight or " feel" is key when watering. Media doesn't lie.
The plants have been loving the simple " Grow dots & Recharge " with just watering in Tap. I just added my first dose of DaKine 420 Bloom Booster. Flower stretch has started and the smell is starting to come out. I gave some branches a little massage and bend that are near the walls to go more toward to open spaces in-between.
This is day 40 from seed on these Pineapple Runtz Autoflower by ETHOS. I watered in recharge last night, They are all doing really well, I almost missed a water day and the 2 on the left didn't like it as much. Smell hasn't POPPED yet, but I know these will put out. I think the bloom booster really helped push out more bud sites, this has only 40 more days and it will be done. I expect a nice harvest and some beautiful buds. This is a super simple grow set up.
Good afternoon,
Pineapple Runtz Autoflower
Day 45 of 80ish from seed
4x 3 gal fabric pots W/ coco
I've been top watering, feeding as needed using 500ml water bottles. I'll typically put 1000ml each water which is every couple days now. I always want the coco to have some moisture.
These are fitting perfect in the 2x4 shorty tent, one of the bracts showed some purple so I have atleast 1 purple pheno. 💜
I added in another light dosage of recharge and bloom boost again.
Pulling fan leafs where I see needed, very impressed with the amount of bud sites and stacking right now.
This is day 55 of 80 from seed, the Pineapple sweetness is starting to come through & the buds are starting their final stage where they will put on weight. I'm up to feeding 1 gal of water every few days. I gave them more bloom boost this time, previous water I gave them just tap due to already having GrowDots in there. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS FUN. AND SMELLY. 👌
Day 61 from seed, the Pineapple Runtz Autoflower 🍍
It has been pretty easy and resilient. The smells of sweetness is coming through pretty strong, they are drinking about a gallon every few days. I watered them Sunday and they will get another water tonight. We are in the final 3 weeks! Color should start coming on soon, 68 ish lights off. If anyone has any questions please let me know!
Happy growing!

I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
Defoliation is a greatly misunderstood technique. Many try it, screw up horribly, and then write it off. At the end of the day it's like any other training, we're playing with stress reactions of the plant to attempt to influence growth. Don't be afraid to experiment, that's how we learn.
Day 66 from seed for these Pineapple Runtz Autoflower 🍍
The resin is starting to stack up, I'm just waiting on the color to really come through. The smell is sweet as you would expect, overall these plants have done well with whatever I've thrown at them on top of the grow dots.
This pack suggests 70-80 days from seed, I expect these to do every bit of 80.
Very excited.
What do you think?
Day 73 from seed on these ETHOS Pineapple Runtz Autoflower 🍍
Nearing the final week-10 days of flower, this auto has been so easy. I've hand watered throughout the grow, I tried using the AC infinity bottom fed buckets but I can't seem to get a good uptake on those.
The smell is great and the resin production is THICK , I'm looking forward to chopping and curing so I can get a smoke report.
I got 3 very similar phenotypes with 1 being a wild child, a little less resin production as well on that one.
Canna CoCo, DaKine Root Powder, Grow Dots, Recharge, DaKine Bloom Boost, New Mill Winter frost. BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.
UPDATE DAY 79, LAST DAY OF
ETHOS Pineapple Runtz Autoflower 🍍
Fed 1/2 tsp of Winter Frost
The smell hasn't been too overwhelming, which I'm hoping translates to terpene preservation, or I'm nose blind. Fatty nuggs, resin stacked , big trichomes. Nice yellow fade 💛
The seed pack called for 70-80 days, I anticipated these taking every bit of that. Which they are! Super excited for these resin Pineapple bud.
Just chopped the ETHOS Pineapple Runtz 🍍 Autoflower, day 80.
They were growing in 3gal coco/perlite mix, under my new AC inifity 280 LED. Feeding included, Atomic Root Powder, Grow Dots, Recharge, DaKine bloom boost, some Cha Ching and a finish with Winter Frost.
Smells are a pine/fruit smell, I plucked all the big fan leafs off and hung them upside down. They are in the same 4x2 tent to dry, Temps 69 with 59% humidity.
I have not weighed yet due to it being wet still. I'm going to guess 12 ounces. Let's see how it plays out.
Overall the grow was easy and went really smooth, never really had to do too much. It drank well. The AC infinity bottom feed trays didn't seem to work as well. I hand watered through its whole grow.
