Pineapple Sunrise Auto by Ganjafarmer

Bud_Wiser Pineapple Sunrise auto from Ganjafarmer - slow start, was the last one to break out of the shell but slowly catching up to her sisters 7 days after germination it looks sturdy but didn't get much height. Feeding every 2nd day - 60ml of 0.9EC 5.8pH nutrient solution consisting of 0.5ml/l of Calmag, Coco A and B. 1ml/l of Hydro Roots Hope she will grow big :)

Bud_Wiser The tent is experiencing standard summer conditions, averaging 27-28C with humidity fluctuating between 65 and 75 percent. I moved the EC up to 1.1 along with the rest of the group. This one is noticeably smaller than the others and is currently showing one white cotyledon, so I will be keeping a close eye on it. I will be increasing the PPFD next week.

Bud_Wiser Pineapple Sunrise Auto (Ganja Farmer) – Day 21 The runt of the tent. Growth is lagging for unknown reasons, making her barely bigger than the 14-day-old plants, and the foliage looks quite pale. Keeping her on the day 21 watering schedule of 2000ml to see if she catches up. Stepped input EC up to 1.3 to help with the paleness. Pulling a 20–30% runoff with a runoff EC of 1.4. Environment shifted to 60–65% humidity with unchanged, stable temperatures.

Bud_Wiser Explosive growth this week! Despite a major heatwave throwing our temperatures off, this girl is handling the stress like an absolute champ. She is pushing out rapid, healthy vegetative growth and shows no signs of slowing down. Watering & Feed: Stepped up watering volume to 2500ml to combat the heat. Increased input EC to 1.5, and she is eating beautifully with a healthy runoff EC of 1.3. Environment: pH is locked in at 5.78. Light dialed into a PPFD of 400–500 (DLI 33–40) to keep her stacking without adding extra light stress during the high temps.

Bud_Wiser We are officially in Week 5, and with clear bud formation visible, this is Week 1 of flower! The plant has put on explosive growth over the past week, though we are currently navigating a harsh heatwave in Germany. Indoor tent temperatures are tracking quite high at 30–32°C during the day and 26–28°C at night. This intense weather has caused some slight droopiness in the leaves, but the plant's structural development is excellent. I have adjusted the tent's humidity down to 60–65% for early bloom and executed a very light defoliation—keeping it minimal to protect her from stress while she completes her vertical stretch. To kickstart the blooming process, I have added a new supplement to the feeding schedule: Plagron Power Buds, aimed at stimulating faster bud site development. Seeing day one of the reproductive phase on this girl is exciting! She had a massive growth spurt this week. While she is exhibiting a bit of heat-induced droopiness due to the daytime highs, her node spacing is stacking beautifully, and she is primed for a fantastic flower development phase.

Bud_Wiser The Pineapple Sunrise has struggled with weakness since the start of the cycle and is currently facing the most problems in the tent. The introduction of Plagron Green Sensation and the increase to a 1.6 EC feeding are proving a lot for this plant to process in its current state. While the bottom of the plant was defoliated to make watering easier and selective defoliation was done on the canopy, this plant is not bouncing back with the same dense, hedge-like canopy as the others. Instead, it remains highly sensitive to the environment, showing ongoing leaf tacoing and residual twisting from the recent 32°C heat stress. Even with the increased watering of 3L per day and 10% runoff, the plant is struggling under the 35 to 45 DLI range and requires a break from the intense heat and light to recover.

Bud_Wiser Pineapple Sunrise Auto is at week 7 and has finished its third week of flowering. Yesterday a major defoliation was performed, removing 50% of the foliage and 30% of the branches. She was the airiest plant of the group and took only 5 minutes to prune. Last week she stretched a lot and is now as tall as her tallest sister. The plant is throwing pistils everywhere and has shown no signs of stress for the past 24 hours, praying to the light nicely. She is receiving an increased nutrient dose of 2.0 EC and a DLI of 40-50. A new camera is being used for this update, so apologies for trying to figure out what is what as photos may not be ideal, though they should be much better than past diaries.

Bud_Wiser This girl is proving to be the slow one of the tent compared to her roomies. She is receiving the exact same treatment as last week with absolutely no changes to her routine. While the others are packing on weight she is taking her time to develop but is still getting standard feeding of three liters per twenty-four hours. The environment has luckily improved now that temperatures have finally stabilized following the recent heatwave here in Germany and the DLI is dialed in strictly between 45 and 55 to keep her moving along smoothly.
