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!
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 !!!
@OutForReal when growing with Dry Amendments even in COCO the sweet spot is 6.8 when growing in COCO and using liquid nutrients then it is 5.8 / Natural dry amendments at least the good ones have Soil Conditioners to help balance pH and make nutrients more available in the soil. Achieved with ingredients like bat guano, worm castings, limestone, molasses, and humic acid It is not a PH issue - thanks though, I have read most of the FB Pineapple Express Diaries and the plants really growing fast are the ones using Chemical Nutrients.
@MrJones, Hi bro, nice harvest ๐ you achieved the gram per watt ( so close )๐
It's really interesting to see how the ph range can be different from a type of nutrients to another , I mean before I saw that diary I was persuaded that 5.8ph was the sweet spot in any cases and I am excited to try a dry amendment coco grow โ๏ธ๐๐๐
Cheers , keep up the good work ๐
@MrJones, Bro you are the 1st one to break my "illusions" about coco growing so off course I'll follow and check that diary till last day ๐๐
I need to better understand your medium mix and maybe reproduce your method because it seems great
I would definitely say your right on track! Just like me. Weeda said you really get the height during week 4,5,6! Most autos if you get close to 30 inches indoor then you are doing well!! Just make sure to use LST to spread your canopy out to get more light penetration!! Itโs really important when using leds!! ๐
@MrJones, no problem ๐ LST can definitely be time consuming lol constantly adjusting as the plants grow! But it definitely pays off! ๐ฏ good luck ๐
@MrJones, Appears that most if not all major bud sites are exposed so looking shweet on that front gromo! microbes and funghi always part of the regime - got to nurture that rhizosphere innits!
@mr_h_kovert, I have done all the training with these ladies that they are going to get, time to let them ride, they are all clean from the 3rd node down, just a bushy group. I will try and get a few underneath shots tonight, I think the microbes in the soil are finally waking up and they are loving it.
@Ozeola, thanks a lot, been trying to adjust lights, feedings but can't seem to get the ladies to pray, they seem to be putting on weight - will have to see, thanks so much for your attention to the grow!
@raptor65, just uploaded a few more pictures today - was a busy week last week - but was not much to share you should check out my Zkittles Grow - that is getting close to harvest - thanks for the feed back!
Looks great. Seems like you have the indica pheno. Iโm excited to see how yours finish. I like how you used 5 gallons pots. I think once they go into flower youโll get some height. Also with a 100% organic grow thatโs just awesome and I know once they get rolling they will smell unbelievable. Iโll be watching your grow. Everything looks perfect ๐ฏ๐
@jamjam887766, Awesome thanks for stopping by! I use a USB microscope, to check Thricomes, I like at least 80/90% cloudy and about 5% of those bein AMBER. now my wife likes more Amber in her smoke, I am going to link you a very short article that is just packed full of information, once in a while you have to harvest early because of environmental, the dry and the cure were the hardest for me to nail down!

@hornato420, Growing organic is a bit slower and requires a little more patience but I am very pleased with the state they are in now, and truly appreciate your positive comments!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our Pineapple Express ๐
Let us know if you need any assistance, weโre more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐ด๐๐ฟ๐ณ
@Fast_Buds, Do the plants look like they are growing at the right pace to you? They seem smaller in week 3 as most of my other autos have been. Thanks!
