Dislike the fact that this product is marketed as Pineapple Express - I didn't get what I paid for, and honestly this plant deserves it's own acclaim. I may not be a cannabis cup bud tester but this is great stuff in it's own right and shouldn't need to be piggybacked off of a legendary name to be grown. Very happy with the end product; smells and tastes great, smokes smooth, looks awesome. This is my first indoor grow; I had some issues but the plants rebounded well, and my grow space makes pests and disease pretty unlikely. Neutral/Normal marks from me as I don't really have much experience to compare the grow to.

Pheno 1 - Plump buds, lots of orange hairs. Strong fruity/citrus odour on the branch and during the trim, mellowing out to the expected tropical fruit smell while drying. Best bud I've ever smelled, tbh, but I suspect it's more due to the fact that I've never had fresh, organic cannabis before. Possibly left a little too long as it puts me to sleep pretty reliably, I think there is too much CBN. Yielded well, looks great, smokes nice and smooth after a brief dry and cure. Pheno 2 - Long, slim buds, fewer hairs. Puts me on my ass. Strong ammonia odour during flower (zero mold/mildew present) but not unpleasant. Notes of diesel after the chop, but after curing for a bit the closest thing I can think of is the smell of a fresh bar of clay.. It's a little earthy, a little herb-y, a little woody (tee-hee.) The flavour is difficult to describe (I've never been good with this, even when it comes to food) but I have had plenty of weed that tasted like it before and it always hits me like a truck, this stuff is no exception. I expected a mediocre but potent yield from this plant and am *very* satisfied with the results. I'm still really just getting into the buds, so I don't think it's appropriate to be listing any positive or negative effects yet. I have two more plants to harvest, and another grow already in the works, so I'll be sure to update this journal in the future with more pics and my opinions after burning my way through a few ounces of this strain. So far, though, so good! Final update - Got a bit better yield from the second two plants, harvested about 2 weeks later. Really digging this strain, pleased with my choice for first grow.

DrNoGamestarted grow question 5 years ago
Old fans yellowing between veins and at margins, new growth almost lime green. Very sparse nutes (only twice to date), ~6.9PH, max 26C air temp, 5wk autos in Stepwell supersoil. P excess? Does Ca def affect whole plant or only old growth? See last pics week 5. TIA!

Leaves. Veins - yellow between

I agree with CannaSapiens. Adjust Ph. Let the soil dry out. From immoderate irrigation, the substrate is oxidized.

The new growth is normal, the affected fan leave looks like magnified nutrient water drops marks.

Hello Do you sometimes water on the leafs? It just looks like burn marks from water staying still on the leafs when giving water? Otherwise it can be chelated nutes in your soil. Maybe a flush here would do the trick. Give 2 times flush water. And the third time give a little bit of nutes again. Hope this helps! Kindly regards

Thanks for the comments! I'm smacking myself in the head right now, I had it in my head that you wanted a PH level around 7.0 but after re-reading it looks like 6-7 is the right range. I'll be sure to keep the PH lower going forward. I'll pick up some CalMag in a bit if needed but there should still be plenty of goodness left in the soil. Looks like you have quite the set-up, yourself! It's getting late here but I intend to take a good look through your albums tomorrow. Cheers!

Hey, you're a first time grower? Me too, and I agree with your opinion on autoflowers. I have some similar issues and also found my strain to be supersensitive to almost everything. Its often said that AFs are perfect for beginners, but only the faster harvast stands out as a positive for me. AFs are like little time bombs and if you make mistakes during veg, it will cost you yield. And as a beginner, I will make mistakes. A lot probably. With photo's I'd just continue to veg, untill all is good. During that veg time you'll get some experience and get an idea of what it is to grow cannabis and what the plants can tolerate. With AFs, every mistake counts hard. That, and their delicate character makes it harder to grow AFs than photo's as a beginner, imo. Ok, you dont have to worry about lightleaks and -schedule with AFs; but seriously, if you dont have the ability to do an easy task such as lightproofing or switching from 18/6 or so to 12/12 than how would you be able to grow any plant indoor? Anyway, just wanted to share my opinion. As always, I check peoples problems as practice and try to diagnose. I found the spots on your leaves verry similar to some on this page about ph fluctuations: https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/ph-fluctuations Do you measure runoff ph? Does it differ a lot from what goes in? I'm pretty sure its not a Ca deficiency, its usually the growth closest to the lights that will show Ca def. Goodluck with the grow, hope you'll yield some nice buds!
