Pineapple Express has a great mix of tastes: fruit, tropical and sweet and certainly pineapple. This strain is a fantastic aphrodisiac. The strong composition with 20% of THC and 0.9% of CBD helps when a anxiety, increasing happiness and clearing your mind.
Pineapple Express is a feminized and autoflowering plant and great Sativ- Indica hybrid. Maturity is 60 days from germination. Yields are about 300g/plant. Expected height is .9 to 1.4 meters.
12/28 she has germinated! Since these are Autos I probably should consider this as day 1.
1/1/18 been hand watering 5-10ml as needed.
1/2/18 odd third leaf.
Welcome to the beginning of week two. It looks like I have an overachiever! She has 50% more leaves than the other 5 seedlings. I will keep her as she is and wait and see what I get!
She has been moved to a shallow water bath while I am investigating the strange white substance.
1/17/18 due to the salt buildup, after the bath I have switched her over to House and Garden nutrients.
I have also begun using RO water due to the nasty stuff that they put in my water.
I am just amazed at how much better she is looking. I will definitely want to run her again. I have been foliar feeding her Calmag this week and it seems to have really helped.
I have super cropped her several times trying to get her lower branches up and keep her top down to get the most even canopy I can. The Calmag I sprayed seems like the ticket so I have included it in my reservoir.
She is packing on the pistols.
Thanks again for the follow.
Day 48 impressed with the super cropping results I got a bit carried away and snapped a nice branch (see photo) I gently wrapped it up with a small piece of duct tape. There was not much left connected (sorry no break photo) it may be to late in her life to save but I will certainly try.
Flower production is moving forward she has really come a long way and looks like she is going to reward me for keeping her! The branch I broke is flowering like mad, been watching for wilting but I think it’s all good. Added broken branch photo.
Thanks again for the follow.
Buds are getting bigger. I have cleaned her up a bit getting ready for the show as it were. The canopy is still pretty even a couple grew up a bit more but most tops are probably within 5cm.
She is fading away and she has quite a way to go. Buds are still growing and she is making trichromes. I will keep an eye on her and do everything I can to get her to maturity.
She is still stacking up the buds. I suspect that the buds have 2 more weeks I just hope that the plant does too! She is a 9 week auto that has just finished her 10th week. I have really screwed up my next crops timing but at least they are photos. I switched my nutrient line midweek last week.
The buds are starting to swell and a few hairs have begun to darken. Do they give awards for the longest FB PE? On the bright side she is sticky and sweet like a pineapple 🍍.
Well she hasn’t done anything in 2-3 weeks Buds aren’t swelling hairs aren’t darkening Trichs are cloudy with no amber. I’ve taken a few cuts and flash dried them. They smell like overly ripe pineapple and hits pretty hard with a very smooth flavor. I guess I’ll chop her. Stay tuned for the harvest results!!!
@Tazard, Yea, I always avoid city or treated water because of added chemicals. I use a combination of Distilled, Spring, Purified, and Gerber mineral water for babies (as added minerals). Hope you get it figured out and dialed in.
@Zannabis7, yes I’m thrilled 😁. I gotta figure out what causes my early vegative issues. water? nutrients? I’ll have a grow with Advancednutrients in 2-3 weeks and at 4x the price of the House and Garden I trust that if I still have the necrotic spots it’s either residual chloramine from the Boogie Blue Plus (rated 87% at 3gpm I run it at 0.1gpm) or residual fluoride from the RO system (water comes out at 8ppm) or there’s a whole issue I don’t know about 🤔😂
Looking like you are off to a mighty fine start. I too am growing some Pineapple Express along with several other strains. Best wishes on the rest of the grow. - Zannabis7
IMO, PH your water to 6. I use city H2O as well and 6 seems to be the magic number. Also, lower your Humidity to 50-55% and make your night Temps a little lower.
I may seem like a noob, but I've been there buddy.
I've grown these a couple of times. Was very pleased with the outcome. Now that I've gone back to coco, would really like to grow one again, someday....
Looking good man, I see you have had a few issues yourself! Hard to blame genetics too as they are different breeders aha! I was adamant I had boron issues with mine as my humidity dropped severely low and temps rocketed up when I tried to add s second light, cased me quite a set back but I am lucky that they made it through I guess! I am just really unsure about timing though, I just can't see mine taking 12 weeks.. Yours do look around the same stage as mine, but all 3 mine are exactly the same age and almost look like they have been started a week or so apart from each other, if I see good growth this next week or two then maybe 12 weeks could be possible.. I just don't know man! If it helps though mate I have found that they have started coming along a lot better since I got my temps back to around 26℃ and humidity to around 45-50%
@fastbuds I think we jinxed me (comments on my green crack). 😆 see D5 photo and please comment. I’m not worried about it but it’s funny that I found it now.
