Day 8, decided to transplant to final pot size.. I usually start in the final pot, and wanted to experiment with solo-cup start, then transplant. not very impressed- will continue starting seeds in final pot for maximum growth rate.

Day 16 for this Pineapple Express auto! She is starting to take root, after the transplant out from the 1/2solo cup! Day 19-LST (1 Tsp Floranova Grow in 1 gallon Distilled Water, with 3 drops of PH+ to be at around 6.3ph.) 1 gallon dosage should last for ~3days!

Day 50 - Before and After - Start of week 8 from seed (second week of flower)! Another big defoliation session for this Pineapple Express auto! She's big! :) I fed a 1 gallon dosage of the above listed veg nutes after defoliation. For the next feeding (in 3-4days (once the soil is 90% dry again)), i'll switch her over to bloom nutes! Day 53 - before/after defoliation! Switched to bloom nutes (FloranovaBloom) - concentration is the same as what's shown in the above listed nutes. Day 56 - Flushing the grow media next watering to prepare for harvest in a week!

Day 77 from seed! Been removing the occasional leaf that's blocking bud-sites, or that's looking at me funny! ;) She's been getting fed 2.5 gallons dosage of the above listed nutes, every 4 days (when the soil is 90% dry again). Next week(tomorrow) I will be adding "GH dry Koolbloom" to the nutes at a concentration of 1.25 grams/gallon.

Day 91 from seed! She's been fed/watered every 4 days (when media is 90% dry) with 2.5 gallons flood-and-drain style of the above listed nutes. Other than that, I have only been plucking the occasional leaf that looks at me funny! :) Next week is flush week! I'll start next week by dragging her into the bathtub, to flow 50 gallons of tap water through the roots. Then she will be on plain tap water(2.5 gallons every 4 days) for two waterings - She should be dry on day 100, and ready for harvest!

She was a "slow and steady wins the race" phenotype! 6 weeks veg + 8 week flower. She vegged strong through week 6, and then stacked up some intense colas, because of being lolipopped before flower! During her transition to flower, she was defoliated every 3 days to allow light and air to penetrate the canopy, and allow for maximum stackage! This is possible because, she didn't stretch much during her transition. Instead, she was stacking a tight node structure; and with every new node, comes a set of two leaves! This lady holds my personal record, for my largest yield from an indoor plant!!!
