Flush week! 50 gallons of tap water flushed through the roots at the start of this week.
She has been on plain tap water(2.5 gallons every 4 days) for the last two waterings.
@Basementganja, wow, thank you for giving every detail I could have inquired about, truly. I copied and pasted your response in my Advice/ fundamentals portion of my grow journal I keep. Thank you
Absolutely knocked this out of the park. Holy smokes, haha. Great job and congrats. Enjoy your plentiful smoke👌. Well deserved.
Cheers and have a great week☺️
@aerolover, This is my largest yielding plant to date! The "(3)" represents this as the third Pineapple Express I've grown. Feel free to ask me any/all questions.
@Basementganja, it looks good I believe its the true yield . I am just wondering is it 1 plant or 3 for this yield? XD I mean I will be buying SF-4000 too
@@growingmadnes, :) ok... What will suffice as proof? I can video record the weighing from now on.. Is there anything else that I should be doing to prove legitimacy? Obviously a size comparison with any of my other plants hang drying isn't enough.
When you say running 50 gallons of tap water through her roots, are you keeping her in the same pot? through the original soil? If so, do you lose a lot of soil and then replenish it? sorry, just trying to be like you hahah

@Fuzzbird, The soil doesn't really get disturbed while watering or flushing. (The same pot) There's holes at the bottom of the pot, that allow for extra liquid to flow out. At this point in the plants life, the pot is also going to be filled with roots, which increase the structural integrity of the soil/root-ball. When I do a normal watering, I gently siphon the liquid into the top of the pot. When I flush my plants, at the end of their cycle, I do the same, except i'll have moved the plant into the bathtub for draining - since vacuuming out the run-off water would be too much work. After the first 30 gallons of water has gone through the roots, the colour of the run-off-flow shifts from the brown colour of the nutes, to clear water - indicating that the roots have been flushed clean. Clearing out the nutes from the soil allows for the plant to starve, which causes a fade to yellow from the reduction of chlorophyll in the plant - assisting in finishing off the plant, and, also making the bud smoother. Feel free to ask me any questions, or repeated questions to clarify! Happy growing :)
Top notch grow as usual. I'm reading this diary like a book--my current FB PEx lady looks like she's the same pheno... day 36 and in no obvious hurry to start flowering lol
@Lplategrows420, I grow 4 plants at a time under the sf4000. My sf4000 is in a 3x3 tent, and is dimmed to 333watts. My pots are 16" diameter, so 4 plants leaves 4" of space around them, which is taken up by the walls of the tent (negative air pressure from exhaust pulls the walls inwards).
@Fuzzbird, The 2nd: 2.5 gallons dosage at one time, then rest, until 90% dry again. With this size of pot, there's about 10% run-off that I vacuum out, after delivering the dosage. Feel free to ask any questions! Happy growing! :)
My man, this grow is a learning for all us, the way did you document all day by day its something great for us, I have the same strain I know I have a guide to follow and compare. Thank you and please, try with LSD-25 from fast buds, its a weird plant, short shorty plant but nothing compare with the flavors
Really really impressive man, congrats
How do you decide or select which leafs to defoliate? im farad because I don't wait to over stress the plant with defoliation but I saw you do a lot with great results
@bungolio, Thank you! When training plants, YOU will be stressed out, much much more than your plants will be... There's definitely a balance of removing too much, vs too little, that can only be learned by experience. I try to keep the plant in a progressive state, so I'm usually removing leaves that are getting to be the size of my hand. I start by remove any leaves that are blocking nodes from the light. Then the leaves that are bridging the gap between nodes. You want to maintain a balance, and supply light/airflow to as much of the plant as possible. Without defoliation, only the top couple inches of the plant will get any light/airflow to be able to boom, and the rest of the plant will just be larf.
