Day 20 for this Pineapple Express auto! She had a couple fan leaves removed today that were (1) blocking a node, and (2) completely shaded by another leaf.
Day 21 light LST to even the canopy.
Day 24-Selective de-leaf to un-shade covered nodes!
Day 36 - Start of week 6! soilless media was ~90% dried up since the last watering (5 days ago)!
Today she was fed 1 gallon dosage of the above nutes! I'm expecting that she'll be dry in 4 days from now, since she's closer to the light, and more rooted into the pot!
Day 38 - defoliation
Day 42 - End of week 6 - selective de-leaf
Day 49 - Buds are coming in nicely! The flowering plants that were raised closer to the light have all shown signs of excess light, so they're now all sitting at the same ground level height!
Day 56! Buds are getting thick! I think the signs shown on this plant(and my other flowering plants) are caused from to too high PH. PH has been adjusted down from 6.5 to 6.
Compared to her sister, this Pineapple Express auto flowered very early!
I LST'd her while I could, and defoliated what was necessary.
She turned out great! Although the yield for this phenotype is at my lower limit for acceptable.
I'm happy that I'm growing a second one, that vegged out longer, making for a much larger Pineapple Express!
One of my two FastBuds Pineapple Express Auto plants' leaves started turning brown halfway up the colas overnight exactly like they are in your Week 7 photos. I initially freaked out and thought it was nute burn but it looks like it's just something that happens with this strain. Have you had other Pineapple Express Autos that do this? Your grow/harvest looks amazing! How did you know when was the right time to harvest? @Basementganja
@jamjam887766, Thanks! I usually try to peak at the trichomes (20x cell phone clip macro lens), and look for 30% amber on the buds... But a lot of the time, I just Flush when the growth slows down dramatically, then harvest a week later!
I think the PH on this plant was too high, but I'm not certain.. The issue didn't occur on the other PE I grew.
I have only grown one other Pineapple Express, here's the link to her :)

Those are some massive colas with some beautiful color to them. Fantastic work bud. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest the grow.
@@surcamares67, Thank you! Currently at 1 gallon dosage every 4 days(when ~90%), since about the start of week 3(day15)... days 7-15 dosage is ~4cups(every ~2-3days), and 1-7 is ~1cup(every day).
