Hello, This is going to be my first grow, as you can see the grow started in a spacebucket. currently I moved on to a tent but that is for later. at this stage I am using a UFO LED 150 watt, the diary is telling 250 watt that is because I added 2 DIY COB Lights after 3 weeks. also for later ;) its 1 seed of Pineapple Express from fastbuds in a 7.5 Liter pot. looking forward to the progress. The pictures are made with a gopro...

week 2: I forgot to mention last week. soil is pre fertilised I will scale up fertilisers when I received it :) As you can see it looks like the light was abit to close to the PE, after day 13 I hanged the light abit higher so the plant can grow.

It has been a busy week. I've bought a DarkRoom 60, finally received all the parts to create my COB lights. As you can see my conditions in the beginning werent that great but the plant has moved to the tent and the temperature with the COB's are nice around 25.6 degrees. Distance to plant is around 50 cm. it's picking up growth as the lamp is higher :) in the back are 2 fastberrys from fastbuds aswell. I will start a new Diary for those (they are in a lightmix) The COB I am using is a vero29 to be precise: BXRC-35E10K0-D-73. I am running the vero29 at 1400mA, a single cob consumes abit more then 50 watts I have a arctic alpine 11 plus as cooler. Bought a iron frame and mounted the COB and my ufo light on there. Various site's offer a premade COB and are telling you should yield 1.4 gramm per watt. ( I am not expecting it but wanted better lights then the cheap chinese ufo)

Hey all, so 4th week and the PE is doing good. Looks healthy and is enjoying the new lights. Just did a new height test on the 25th day and its 22 cm. looks like its picking up height fast now. It looks like were entering the flowering period soon. I am gonna finish the .7L of water I have left and start giving it flowering nutrients after that. 2 days ago the PE moved on to a new soil, a light mix so I can control the nutrients in the soil. I know its not ideal to move a autoflower to new ground but the ground I used is only made for the beginning. I am also gonna start the FastBeryy diary as they are going nicely aswell. Wednesday or Thursday a new update!

Hello all, The Pineapple is going well. Entering week 5 and we are seeing a nice start of the flowering. I stopped making pictures with the gopro and went back to an old phone with 41 mp camera. I finally can take some good pictures of the growth. The plant is 29cm high now and going strong, swapped over to the flowering nutrients. I've added the picture of the schedule I am using. If you guys have questions about the COB or about my growth dont be shy! Tips are more then welcome aswell, especially about the nutrients schedule I am using, Should I add some more nutrients? I am using an ec meter, my ec is 1.2 but if I check different forums they advice to have the ec around 2.0 I dont know what that should be in PPM but yea what do you guys think? Should I just follow the schedule or add some X-Bloom and Bio Bloom 2? Like 1.5 the amount I am giving it currently (Reminder using a light mix of ground so almost no nutrients in there) maybe FastBuds has the answer any idea on how to tag them? XD Anyways thanks alot for the advice and new update most likely saturday or sunday! #Update day 33 PE is growing fast is 40 cm right now. 11 cm in 4 days hopefully we can keep this up :) the smell is getting stronger but smells very good.

Hi all, Entering week 6 and the plant had an amazing stretch in the last week, 22 cm in a week awesome! Hopefully we can reach 70-80 cm in the next week as it will stop growing soon. I removed 4 leaves and 2 super small tops as they were at the bottom and won't catch light and only use the nutrients I want togo to the good parts. I will remove more when the PE stopped growing. I have read a reaction from fastbuds where they say that 6.5 is the best ph so I have adjusted the amount I am giving. Update: PE is 55 cm high now, will not getting much bigger I think, the buds are developing quick and start to look very good, After the pictures I removed several leaves and small tops at the bottom. was a hand full of leaves so I will wait with removing more on the top I think.

Hi all, Entering week 8 and everything is going well, I had troubles controlling the humidity in the beginning of week 7 as the temperatures outside were HOT. but the dehumidifier is doing its job and keeping it stable between 40-50% I had an intruder in my tent😱did not know how that bastard got there but luckyly enough it went for the the fastberry and not for the PineApple. It was an caterpillar, when I was looking at the plants yesterday I noticed that 1 leave on the FB1 was totally destroyed as in eaten. it also ate a smaller leaf, luckly enough it was on the bigger leaf when I pulled the leaf of so everything is fine now 😎 I looked if he had some friends at his party but that was not the case. I have not killed it but set it free in my garden!

Entering week 9! Today I stopped giving nutrients as the plant should be done in the next 7-10 days Some of the leafes are very dry and looked abit burned? Maybe the light was to low or it has a kalcium shortage what I doubt as I followed the schedule and always added the right amount of pk13/14. If someone knows what the problem could be let me know:) The PE smells amazing and is buds developed well, the hairs are starting to turn brown and the trichomen most of the trichomen look milky. Looking forward to next week / harvest

Hi all, I have been very busy this week and in the results of that I am late with the diary and the plant is already down... The smell is amazing very strong. I harvested the plant yesterday (day 65) so the weed is still wet, the wet weight is 189 gram with branches but I will do A harvest report when they are dried. I am hoping that it will be around 40 gram Next update when its dry I will make sure you guys get something with scale As you can see I am using the spacebucket as drybucket. The humidty is good around 53%

Week 10. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

The Pineapple Express is a easy plant to grow, it is a strong plant and has an amazing smell. The conditions in the beginning were not great but still I have a good harvest for my first time. No topping, LST, fimming or other methods used, just removing some leaves over time get the light nicely on the buds. The most of my buds are nice dense not really fluffy just the lower and smaller ones are not that dense.Used 2 COB lights to grow, the both used 56 watt the details you can find in week 3. I also used a chinese ufo light 50 x 3 watt leds but I doubt #update on smoke report in Diary quick recap: I had a test after 14 das of drying and 7 days of curing, It''''s amazing, When I am in Amsterdam I always visit a specific shop to get this strain. with 7 days more of curing we will totally nail this taste! Thanks so much @FAST_BUDS That Chinese ufo light turned out to have a 50watt transfomer😆 I removed it during the grow so lets just forget about that one. Total harvest with the fastberrys what were in the tent 98 gram(dryed) for 100 watt of COB led light

Very happy with the outcome of 39 gram, I think it is 39.9 because it was jumping between 39 and 40.The heaviest bud is 4 gram but was aswell jumping between 4 and 5 grams.Currently moved the buds into the pot to start curing it,. Let me know if you guys want some more pictures of the buds I will be happy to take them out and take a couple more. I did a small test with a small bud last week, It dried for a week then and had a quick oven dry. The results were very nice but was still lacking in taste.Will make an update when the curing is done! See ya guys around and make sure to check out my Fastberrys aswell they are near harvest aswell!Thanks for the comments and helpI am planning to start another pineapple with a grapfruit from @FastBuds aswell when the fastberrys are finished to see if I will improve #update on smoke report in Diary quick recap: I had a test after 14 das of drying and 7 days of curing, It''''s amazing, When I am in Amsterdam I always visit a specific shop to get this strain. with 7 days more of curing we will totally nail this taste!

Fastberry diary updated. So a total of all the plants in the tent: Pinapple express: 189 gram wett - 39 gram dryed Fastberry 1 : 92 gram wett - 19 ( gram expected) Fastberry 2 : 184 gram wett - 40 (gram expected, less branches also best cut in my opinion) Hitting a total of 98 gram dryed from 100 watt led! forgetting about the chinese ufo light what turned out to have a 50 watt transformer and I removed during the grow. Just want to let people know if you go led COB (chips on board) led is the way togo! I want to thank all for following my diary, and hopefully receive your vote for diary of the month if you think it's worth it. Make sure to check the fastberry album very frosty😍

@FAST_BUDS, Thanks for those amazing seeds, I had a test after 14 das of drying and 7 days of curing, It's amazing, When I am in Amsterdam I always visit a specific shop to get this strain. The taste is getting very close to that shop quality and I believe with 1 more week of curing we will nail this. Once more a big thanks for making this possible ps. best of all I have 2 more Pineapple seeds😍

This looks like it was a KILLER grow. I see some experience shining through here. Nice job! I am attempting my first "topless" SCROG (trying to bend instead) with 6 different strains right now, of which one is FastBuds Pineapple Express. It would be cool if you would follow the grow and make a suggestion or two. - Zannabis7

@Growdiaries a question is the ppm the ppm of the Co2 in the air or the amount of nutrients in the water? Would be nice if you could give us a option to choose for the ec value as I know that one. The ppm in the water I dont know. Thanks for the awesome platform!

@LedGrower, the PPM introduced on our web is of water. Thank you for your suggestion and for your kind feedback. We work hard to make the Diaries and growing descriptions as detailed as possible.

Hi all, I couldnt get the diary updated over the weekend. I have been fighting with the temperatures here as the humidity was rizing insanly high with the 2 fastberrys starting to flower aswell. The humidty meter showed me the max was 90% and at the time I checked it was at 80%... I quickly bought a dehumidifier and the humidity is back between 40-50%. Tops are still looking fine on the PE so no damage done phew! Tomorrow an update ( buds getting bigger) in my opinion then :D
