Week 2 - She was planted in a pot. There are brown spots on her leaves that I think are from nutrient deficiency so I have been spritzing her with a little bit of nutrients. She is growing well so far.

Week 4 - She is still growing well but I think there is some nitrogen deficiency. I was struggling with too much nitrogen in my previous grows and narrowed it down to the soil mixture. This time I left out many of the amendments in my soil mixture and now I am getting yellowing lower leaves. I am trying to slowly add amall amounts of nutrients and see what happens. She has been moved into a bigger pot and into the tent with LED lights. She was also FIMmed.

Week 5 - Despite my efforts to control the nutrient issues, she is getting lighter in colour; looking a little yellow. 😡 She is still growing though. I wonder how well she would grow if the nutrient balance was perfect. I will continue to make small adjustments and hope for a happy medium.

Week 7 - She was growing really well and drinking lots so into the 7 gallon pot she went. I was still giving Cal/Mag for what appeared to be a calcium deficiency in the showing in the lower leaves. Now the upper leaves are acting up! I don't know if this is light burn or another deficiency. Either way it is frustrating! 😡

Does anyone have an idea what is happening to this plant? The lower leaves looked like calcium deficiency so I gave her cal/mag. Now the upper leaves are looking bad. Is this light burn or a deficiency?

Yellow between the veins / veins stay green / at the base of the plant = nitrogen (N) or magnesium (Mg) deficiency The large dark areas + the random yellow dots worry me more. Could spider mites. -> Check for small brown-ish dots under the leaves, like @LaBOSSANOVA said. Under magnifying glass, you should see microspiders. I recently had an invasion over my basil with similar symptoms. Neem oil killed my basil in a few days by the way. One of your pictures shows a leaf with a much larger dark spot: brown necrotic tissue. Have you under-watered by any chance? Upper level, some of the the veins are affected also, as it shows with some scorched tissue - could be a mild calcium deficiency.

Week 8 - I checked the ladies over top to bottom and can't find any evidence of pest infestation so I think it must be a nutrient issue. The new growth is looking good and hopefully the nutrient issues are correcting. Now I have to avoid over-doing the nitrogen. She is growing well so far. 😊

Day 56 - She seems to be doing well, drinking lots and the new growth is looking healthy. I am only giving her 3 liters of straight RO so that she will be ready to have clones taken at the end of the week. Day 63 - She continues to grow and drink well. I took four clones after these photos were taken. I haven't taken clones before so I hope to have some luck. I have used the tops I chopped off of plants before but this time I took clones from the bottom. I gave her 3 liters of RO with some nutrients to help her recover.

Day 66 - She seems to be recovering well from the removal of clones. She is getting taller and growing outward as well. I gave her 3 liters of RO with some nutrients as she is still drinking alot. If I have some luck getting my clones to grow in the next 2 weeks, I will put her inot flower. Day 69 - I took off some of the big fan leaves that were blocking the light penetration. She got 4 liters of RO as she is still drinking alot.

Day 73 - She's recovered well from the leaf and clone removal. I gave her 4 liters of RO with some nutrients. The tent is getting full and the ladies are getting tall so I have decided to switch them over to 12/12 light/dark schedule and hope for the best. 😁 Day 76 - She was watered again with a bit of "compost" tea added. (bat guano, worm castings and molasses). She has a few purple stems but otherwise seems healthy so I hope this isn't an indication of underlying issues.

Day 78 - First week of flower. She is still growing taller and is showing some lady parts so that is good. She has some purplish stems just like my other Pineapple Express. They aren't as purple as my GG#4 ladies. I am adding some Magnesium and Calcium into the mix incase this is a deficiency. I watered her with 3 liters of RO and some nutrients. Day 80 - She's growing fast and drinking alot. Starting to show pre-flowers too. I need to do some defoliation soon but I am waiting to see if my clones will survive, in case I need to take some more.

Day 84 - I did some lower branch, bud and leaf removal. I also took some clones with hopes that I can have some success this time. I hope the light will have better penetration and help with a bigger yield. She is still growing fast and looks healthy. Day 87 - She's drinking a ton so I have given her another 4 litres of RO today. Otherwise there are no signs of difficulties and she is flowering. Day 90 - She continues to grow taller and drink well. She recovered well from defoliation so I did a little LST to open her up a bit more. I gave her another 4 liters with her nutrients.

Day 116 - She is slowly bulking up. I really should be flushing soon as they say she's an 8-9 week flaower. I hope that she bulks up some more before the harvest.

I decided to flush the ladies as it is Week 7 of flower and I'm thinking that they should be finished in about two weeks. So far the trichomes are mostly clear. I plan to harvest when they're milky. I get differring opinions about harvest time. Last group of ladies I waited a little longer, until the trichomes were half amber.

These pictures are kind of crappy but it does look like there are some more cloudy trichomes and the odd amber one. I gave her 2 litres of RO for now. I don't want her to get too wet as I plant to harvest her as soon as she looks ready and I want her to be dry at that time.

Day 133 - I took some last picks before putting the ladies into the dark for a couple of days. I would have liked a little more time before harvest but the trichomes are ready. There will be a smoke report after the dry and cure. The final yield was pretty good at 3.88 ounces. It's a flavorful smoke with a happy, giggly feeling. The pineapple smell comes through as soon as you open the jar. 😋
