Pineapple Express

We decided on Pineapple Express (by Grower's Choice) as our summer strain this year, we veg anything going outside under 16hrs ..We only get 15hrs at peak light(Far North/East, Canadian border) and this prevents any pre-flowering and possible revegging downtime. We're going to flower 4 plants indoors ASAP (to ensure we don't run out )and bring 3 out to the field in about 2-2.5 months...

Only 5 of the 7 Pineapple Express sprouted (the 2 on the right are a week younger), possibly user error lol.. I started mixing small amounts of nutrients with every watering.. *They're a few shades darker than they appear, my GoPro seems to wash out the color under my our light...

3 /5 have been topped and all have been transplanted into their final pot.....Im reusing Promix for this grow, amended with blood meal, ewc, dolomite lime and extra perlite.. (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o9eSwvzO0c )

Week 3 for the smaller plants, week 4 for the 2 larger plants...I noticed new growth fairly quick after transplanting, they seem to be liking their new home :) I increased nutrients and started tying/LST

They seem to be coming along fine, no real PH issues despite reusing old Promix, more low stress training :) ... I may flip in another week or 2..

I'll be flipping them soon, i dont typically wait this long..i just need to get the closet set back up for the other seedlings/strains..the 3 Pineapple Express in the back are a week older than the 2 in the front..i like to give them a shot of bloom nutrients 4-5 days before flipping to flower and there's a good chance this is the last week of veg for the Pinapples..

Flipping to flower this week..veg room setup for the bagseed, Pineapple and Power Plant seedlings... *6/12/20- first shot of bloom nutes

Flipped to flower (12/12), increased bloom nutes, decreased N and started adding small amounts of cal-mag to be proactive..

Bud sites forming fast, awesome node spacing on a few in particular....their size is pretty close to what i was anticipating for stretch, I may do a medium defoliation once more before letting them just do their thing, i really hate stressing them much beyond 3 weeks of flower...

Girls seem to be coming along nicely, color is uniform for the most part..I did notice a little cal-mag deficiency starting in the lower part of 2 plants, i bumped supplement up to 5ml/gal....

Not a great week... Nearly all the girls exhibited signs of magnesium deficiency seemingly over night, they've been receiving supplemental cal-mag for about 2-3 weeks which leads me to believe my PH has gone squirrely and it's impeding uptake...I flushed all the girls with tap water PH'd to 7 with approx 10ml/gal of grow and bloom nutrients and 3ml/gal cal-mag, i'll upload again on the 7th day of this week to document change (if any)... *fingers crossed*

I believe last week's flush may have fixed my PH issue, the yellowing (mag deficiency) seems to have stopped spreading..

So I thought I'd check her out under my scope and to my surprise she's all milky with about 20% amber trics...i'll be cutting her down in just a few days...

I harvested at 30% amber trics..it snuck up on me fast, I assumed she was an 8 week strain at minimum but I was wrong..i don't take wet weight of buds so I'll update final weight in approx 10 days, happy growing!
