Transplanted these ladies on day 12. If I could do it again I would have transplanted earlier due to how many roots shot through the .5l container. I see no visible transplant shock but they did lose some roots when I removed the smaller fabric pots.
I am fertigating per advanced nutrients coco week 3 plan and might increase the ppm slightly to see how this strain reacts.
The light is higher than I would like it but that is due to poor planning on my part. The flowering pineapple express have grown tall and I still do not have my second tent up, so this will have to do for now. Live and learn.
Great week but growth is a little slower than normal but the light is supposed to be 6 inches off of the canopy. unfortunately the autoflowers in the back are a bit behind in flowering terms so the grow tent had a scheduling pileup resulting in the lights being high up for late blooming plants. The solution is to just be creative with the training and trimming. Other than that, no deficiencies, good temperature and humidity and the plants seem happy with the nute schedule.
I am super open to advice, criticism ect. So if you could leave a comment and let me know what you think I'd be grateful.
First week of flowering experienced some pretty solid growth considering the light distance. I attempted to raise the plants but it proved to be more trouble than it was worth due to the cramped quarters of the tent.
The plant is reacting well to the nutrient schedule and I toned down the suggested ppm down to 900. Less is more at this stage apparently.
I am going to wait another week and defoliate the bottom canopy for air circulation, bud site growth prioritization and to minimize mold probability.
I am very open to advice, criticism ect. So if you could leave a comment and let me know what you think I'd be grateful :)
Pretty standard week with no issues. All environmental conditions were good despite it being absurdly dry but the humidifier did the thing.
Week 2 of flowering for this strain had an large but predictable stretch for a haze strain, growing almost a 1/3 of its height this week alone. Lollipopped the plants and they responded well with no adverse reactions.
The big girl in the back right will be harvested this week (pineapple express auto-barneys farm*undocumented*) so that will give some desperately needed space for these ladies.
Questions, comments, critiques please!
Likes and follows are greatly appreciated! See you all next week.
Harvested one of the previous runs plants and it opened up a quarter of the tent. Hopefully there is still a bit more stretch left in her but i think the limited space is going to bite me in the end.
Had some nitrogen overload this week (clawing) and gave them a flush as i was starting to get some burn as well. Upped the watering and I think I found the plants limit and I will back off on the ppms a bit.
Dialed back the ppm this week and that alleviated some of the nitrogen issues I was seeing.
Finally got a massive pineapple express plant out of the tent for harvest but the damage had been done. These girls are great strains but they are going to be undersized because of the heavy cropping I had to do to make them fit. In a perfect world (or one where i timed my crops) i would have had the space to trellis and get an even canopy.
Another issue is the light power. This fluence light is great but 450-500 ppfd isnt going to cut it for what im trying to do. Already working on a new led for flower and if anyone has any recommendations they would be welcome. I also feel I should be using 3 gallon pots as its difficult to get a solid 20% drain on a 5 gallon pot. Just too wasteful in regards to water and ferts.
Mistakes are being made and lessons are being learned. If you have any criticisms they are welcome. If you just want to show some love that is also welcome!
Ro water was giving a low ph at 6, so when i moxed the ph perfect it dropped to 5.5. I suspect this was the cause of the mg deficiency. Other than that everything is going well.
nice bro very nice, quick question, its my 1st time growing and i got a Fluence Spydr 2p and not sure how high up the light should be from the plant, I bought clones that where about 3 inches tall and now they are about 10" tall but dont know where to position the light? some say 24" @ 10% dimm some say further up and more brightness , what do you do when they are about 5 to 10" tall ?
thank u
@darknes01, you have an excellent set up but that's light burn. The thing with those big boy fluence lights is I've read they light burn easy without c02 supplementation. Good news is once you dim it a bit more or supplement co2 that grow is going to be high powered. I followed your grow and I look forward to seeing it progress :)
@Astarte,
oh sorry forgot to answer your questions,
No not using co2 ( was under the impression thats needed during flowering)
no coco, its a RDWC system with DI/RO water and clay pebbles.
for nutrients im using lucas formula 6ml micro and 12ml bloom
also using h2o2 in res to keep the place clean.
@Astarte,
1st off thank u so much for helping me out. this is my 1st grow and i built my own RDWC system. I uploaded a bunch of pics, if you get a chance and take a look at them for me that would be great.

Looks great I like ur setup too what size tent is that hard to tell looks like a hallway lol I tried growing super Lemon Haze but was unfortunately dealt a male from fem seeds had to try breeding it couldn’t let it go to waste super lemon is so good
@Astarte, nice I just upgraded tent size to same but with a second chamber 12x48 on the side I need me some lights like that lol you did a great job of using your space.
Thats a gorgouse canopy you got in that tent. So full of vibrant life. Fantastic work! Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest of the grow.
