So the last 3 seeds have not popped - starting to become concerned, the seedlings are moving very slow but that could be the organic conditions - still evaluating.
I germinated 6 seeds on 01/04/12, all 6 popped but only 3 found their way above the dirt, I have re germinated another 3 seeds will get them planted and see how they go - the 3 seedlings above the dirt are doing well, keep you posted.
100% Organic and I am trying something a bit different this grow - my grow medium will be;
Mother Earth 70/30 Coco / Earth Worm Castings / Organically Done-Organic Easy / Xtreme Gardening Mykos Mycorrhizae / Harvest Gold Organics Premium Soil Conditioner / Organically Done-Bloom Boost
I mixed the first 5 items together and watered with dechlorinated H20 mixed Recharge - I like to let this COOK for a week before I plant - If you want my ratios, please message me
The microbial environment should carry the plants through the veg stage - about 4 weeks in will top dress with the Organically Done-Bloom Boost, using compost teas and kelp extract
January 04, 2020, started my germination process
Today is 01.25.20 – Fast Buds Pineapple Express Autos – Starting Week 3
I lowered the light this week to 48 inches above the plants, I feel like they should be a bit further along then they are, I topped dressed with a bit of Earth Dust Base to help support Organically Done Easy, watered in with recharge.
I did a light misting of Optics Over Grow / I may pick up some Down to Earth 4-4-4 today while out and do a top dressing with that if I do not see any signs of increased growth rate / all the autos I have grown so far at 3 weeks I was able to start with LST. I just may have to let grow without LST as they do not appear they will be very resilient – that’s ok though always a first time to let a plant just rip on its own, I have plenty of height in my grow closet.
02.06.20 - This week I feel the plants are still moving slow for auto flowers - but they look healthy - today I defoliated and topped dressed with Earth Dust Base and watered in with Recharge (Declorinated water PH 6.8) Turned the lights up a bit and have them at 48 inches.
02.08.20 - Plants are moving along nicely, I would think they would be further long but 35 days into the grow - Fast Buds state "Full maturation takes roughly 60 days" and "These Pineapple Express seeds produce large auto-flowering plants, so make sure you have the proper space to account for its beastliness." Will be feeding with a compost tea on Monday and will do another top dress this time Bloom Boost in 10 days from Organically Grown and a Second Compost Tea - this should carry the plant through harvest.
02.10.20 - Today just watered the plants with my first compost tea, it looked amazing, had a beautiful white protein foam on the top - I will have a look at the plant's first thing in the morning and see if they are dancing! These Plants have been slow to grow - I do not think they are responding well to an organic environment, a friend said that they really love a heavy Nutrient Regiment - we will have to see!
02.11.20 - So today the day after the compost I did a little more defoliation, as well as a bit of LST on Plant #3 and Plant #2
02.12.20 - Letting them do their thing will be doing more defoliation this weekend / maybe lolipopping
Anyone growing or grown FB Pineapple Express do my plants look like they are on track, I feel they are not, at only 12/14 inches at the 35-day mark - would like to hear from
@Fast_Buds as well, I am growing organically no chemical nutrients here - thoughts?
It looks great ... Autoflowers don't really grow in height until flower where they stretch almost doubling in size. If your plant is already 12-14 inches , expect her to be over 2 feet once she ends the stretch. Just keep doing what you're doing the plant seems to be loving it !!!
02.15.19 - Day 37 / should be n flower by end of the week - things are going well - this week will just keep things going.
02.17.20 - Day 39 / the girls are jumping into flower and stretching pretty nicely!
02.21.20 - Day 43 / I think I have them dialed in, they are doing great - with today being the last day of the grow week tomorrow they are officially moving to flower, they are starting to come alive, a little behind schedule I feel but looking healthy!
02.26.20 Day 48 - these plants continue to surprise me, I was about to write them off, they are all officially into flower and doing very well. Plant #2 looks like it is going to produce some serious buds!
03.02.20 - Day 53 been wicked busy at work so last week was not much to report, today, top dressed with OG Bloom watered in with Recharge, Yucca, Kelp Extract - I had to defoliate and Lolipop plant #3 she has many flower spots but all were just covered from her massive bush - snip here and there on other 2 plants but all in all they are moving along nicely for having such a slow start.
03.05.20 - Day 56 things are on Autopilot, just watering, flowering is going well.
03.11.20 - Day 61 These girls are on autopilot - I feel I should defoliate more but do not want to slow them down.
03.07.20 - Day 57 these plants are just putting on bud weight, with about 20 days left I am sure the buds will be awesome!
03.20.20 - Day 70 - Last day of the week, just enjoying these girls as they are fatting up!
03.19.20 - Day 69 - Letting the soil dry out a bit, slowed down the lights, the plants are droopy I think I just may have over watered / they have a long wat to go to really look like the pictures from other growers, I am excited though!
03.16.20 - Day 66 about another 14 days or so, they are growing slow and steady!
03.26.20 - Day 76 / Plant 2 was harvested, just letting plant #1 and #3 age up a bit more, Plant #3 is getting very close.
03.24.20 - Day 74 / Plant #3 really yellowed a few days after the Inoculation, letting the soil dry out a bit and will Plant #3 & #1 a small shot of liquid fertilizer I do not want to see the Bud Growth to Stall, Plant #2 should be harvested this weekend.
03.22.20 - Day 72 / I inoculated the plants with Rootwise today, had to reorganize my space as well, incubating 4 pots for my fist Photo Period Grow, stay tuned for an awesome Jedi Kush Diary.
I checkedPlant #2's Trichomes today still very clear, I figure at least 2 more week's on this plant, will start using just PH water for the last week to 10 days - Plant #1 is doing ok but way behind the other 2, Plant #3 is doing crazy good, about a week behind plant #2.
03.30.20 - Day 80 / Pushing 2 weeks past w/ Fast Buds estimated harvest at 10 weeks, I started with 3 plants, plant #2 has been in the dry room since Thursday, Plant #3 is just going well, maybe too many buds, more buds = smaller buds, I decided to start this plant on a bit of Bio-Biz, looking at the trichomes shots today I feel like this plant will see at least 3 weeks more before harvest, Plant #1 still has plenty of white hairs that have not turned I also put this girl on Bio-Biz today as well hoping to see some magic!
03.29.20 - Day 79 / I will get some shots to start off week 12, buds are getting fatter, and plants look just ok to me, let's see how the week plays out.
04.06.20 - Day 87 chopped the last lady and put her in the dry room, this plant had very chunky buds, and has an amazing smell!
04.04.20 - Day 85 - Today harvested second of three Pineapple Express and put it into the dry tent, I also removed the First plant today from the dry tent, and will flush the last plant a few more days and get that into the dry tent as well, its a pain when they all plant at the same time and finish at different times, I posted a few pictures of the last Girl, she is getting chunky and a nice picture of the harvested plant and also a picture of a pre-trim bud after 10 days of drying, full of red hairs, and chrystals amazing smell!
